Extra 2 (03)
Old Master Gu said angrily, "Don't play dumb! I think you, an old man, have been planning this for a long time! Tingqin likes men, such a big thing, and you actually hid it from me for so long!"
The more Mr. Gu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Not only did Mr. Li hide his son's sexual orientation, he also invited Xiao Chen to study here and asked Tingqin to take care of him. But after just a few months, where did he end up? !
Old Man Li: “Ah?” Tingqin likes men, is it a big deal?
Tingqin is 28 years old, he has always been chaste, he has never been in a relationship, he doesn't even have a peer he can look up to, what does it matter if he likes a man or a woman? He can't go after his friends and say that his son likes a man, right?
But after the call was hung up, he did feel that something big must have happened, so he immediately called the housekeeper of the villa over there.
Before he could say anything, the housekeeper said, "Old Master, please come over here quickly! Something big has happened! Mr. Gu has seen Mr. Gu and the eldest son together!"
Mr. Li didn't understand for a moment. Didn't Mr. Gu just go over to look after the two kids? What was so strange about seeing them together?
But he suddenly thought of another possibility, and he gasped and said in shock: "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier!"
The housekeeper just said: "It's been two months."
Mr. Li: “!!!”
That's Xiao Chen!!! The future heir of the Gu family!
Tingqin, ah Tingqin, you really are the one who makes a splash when you do make a splash...
But if you see them "together" early in the morning, isn't that the same as catching them in bed together?!
He didn't even dare to imagine what expression Old Gu would have when he saw that scene.
Old Master Li said quickly: "Tell Tingqin that if Grandpa Gu wants to break his legs, then break them, but don't resist."
Although he was 100% satisfied with Xiao Chen, and never dreamed of such a satisfactory result, Tingqin was indeed not fair in this matter. Xiao Chen came all the way here to learn, but Tingqin actually did such a thing without making any noise. It was not unfair for him to have his legs broken...
However, he thought of a more terrifying possibility. Xiaochen was only 22 years old, and it was not known whether he liked men or women. Could it be that Tingqin had turned the heir gay?
Wouldn't he be beaten to death by Lao Gu?
So he quickly added to the housekeeper: "You keep an eye on the situation. When Lao Gu is almost done fighting, call an ambulance and I'll be right over."
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Li immediately ordered: "Quick! Prepare the car! I want to go to Tingqin's place!"
"Also, notify Hongying and Xiaoqing immediately and ask them to return to China immediately!"
After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, since they won't be back for a while anyway, let's see if there are any good things over there and ask them to bring them back, saying they are for my in-laws."
Mr. Li got into the car briskly with his cane, "Hurry, hurry, let's go."
Tingqin has always been a very independent and reliable child. He felt strange last time. He was obviously not interested in this matter at the beginning, but after only one month, his attitude changed drastically. He wanted to invite the person to live with him and asked about his preferences. It turned out that he was planning to do this.
Li Hongying and Liang Qing were also puzzled when they received the call from the housekeeper of the old house. Wasn't Tingqin single all the time? There was no sign that he had any intention of falling in love.
Why did they suddenly rush back to China? And the future in-laws appeared? Tingqin likes boys. Even if they are in a relationship, it is impossible for one of them to go back and talk about marriage immediately after getting pregnant, right?
Even the old man is so anxious, who is Tingqin dating?
Here, Gu Chen listened to Mr. Gu finish the call, sighed, and explained: "Grandpa, don't think too much, it's just a love affair."
Li Tingqin said sincerely: "Grandpa Gu, I was wrong in this matter. You deserve to be beaten or punished."
"You two are a pair of star-crossed lovers, and I am the evil one who broke them up, right?" Old Master Gu was about to take action with his cane in hand, but when he saw the two of them wearing couple's home clothes, he felt it was too much to bear, "Hurry up and change your clothes before you come down!"
Li Tingqin wanted to say something, but Gu Chen pulled Li Tingqin upstairs to change clothes. Looking at the couple's clothes in the cloakroom, Gu Chen said while searching for clothes: "Don't worry, it's just a relationship."
Li Tingqin said slowly: "Ah Chen, actually I want to...propose to you in a while."
Gu Chen was a little surprised and said, "Hmm? Although I like you very much, objectively speaking, it may be a little difficult."
The two of them didn't dare to go downstairs in couple outfits to add fuel to the fire, so each of them wore a different outfit and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Mr. Gu became angrier the more he thought about it.
He was actually open-minded. Whether Xiao Chen liked a girl or a boy, marrying her home was just the icing on the cake. What he cared more about was training Xiao Chen to become a useful person and taking over the family business.
But if she was involved with Li Tingqin, the meaning was completely different. Could the Li family let Xiaochen marry Tingqin? Maybe they even wanted Tingqin to marry Xiaochen!
Moreover, Xiao Chen's foundation is not stable yet. It is the critical moment to take over the family business. If he and Li Tingqin break the news of marriage, how can they convince the shareholders? How can they make the shareholders not doubt whether the Gu family will be interfered with in the future?
Wait! Xiao Chen just said that we were just in love?
When Mr. Li arrived, the two young men were sitting obediently in front of Mr. Gu and listening to his lecture.
Huh? His legs weren't broken? Mr. Li immediately rushed over, gave Li Tingqin a cane, and said, "Tingqin, how could you do such a thing?!"
Then he looked at Gu Chen with concern and worry, and said, "Xiao Chen, do you like boys? If Tingqin seduced you, tell Grandpa Li and he will break his legs immediately!"
Gu Chen said: "Grandpas, there is no need to worry. Tingqin and I are both adults. We made our own decisions about love. You don't have to worry."
The two elders naturally knew that these two were both very capable and opinionated people, and since they had the same sexual orientation, they were probably together because they were attracted to each other.
But Mr. Gu said angrily: "What kind of man can't our Xiao Chen marry? Can Tingqin let Xiao Chen marry him?"
Mr. Li quickly said, "Hey, Old Gu, in modern society, instead of talking about marriage, what's wrong with two outstanding young people becoming partners and supporting each other?"
Old Master Gu said quietly, "But our Xiao Chen said... he just wants to date, he didn't say he wants to get married... Xiao Chen is only 22 years old, it's okay for him to try dating someone."
Old Master Li suddenly felt something was wrong and said, "When we, Tingqin, choose someone, we will be loyal to him for life. This is definitely not just a joke..."
Li Tingqin also said: "Grandpa Gu, I am with Ah Chen for the purpose of getting married."
Old Master Gu snorted coldly and said, "Tingqin, everyone in the business world says you're great, so tell me, what should we do about Xiaochen's current situation?"
Li Tingqin said, "Before Ah Chen is truly in power, I will not make our relationship public. And we are really just partners, regardless of marriage, we will not interfere with each other's careers. But because the Gu family and the Li family are located in the south and the north, and have related industries, I think Ah Chen and I can become better partners, and the Gu family and the Li family can also achieve a deeper cooperation."
Gu Chen poured tea for Old Man Gu and said, "Grandpa, calm down. We can talk about marriage later. Deep cooperation is a good idea."
Old Master Gu glanced at Gu Chen again. He actually felt that his grandson had no love brain at all, only a career brain. When it comes to love, he also knows to choose a good one. If he really wants to bring home a pretty boy who only has a pretty face, he actually feels that he is not worthy of Xiao Chen.
Mr. Gu drank the tea he had added and said, "You two should remember this: if you want to fall in love, then just fall in love. It's best to do it in secret."
Mr. Li said with a painful expression: "Old Gu, now my dream for the rest of my life is to become your in-law..."
Mr. Gu snorted coldly and said, "Let's talk about it later."
When Li Hongying and Liang Qing hurried back to the country, Mr. Gu had already returned to the south.
Li Hongying looked at Old Man Li with both anticipation and nervousness, rubbing his hands and saying, "Dad, where are our in-laws? Sister Qing and I bought a lot of good things at the auction, and we are just waiting to give them to our in-laws."
Mr. Li covered his face in pain: "My in-laws don't agree with this marriage."
Li Hongying was surprised and asked, "Ah?" He was not praising his son. Tingqin's excellence was obvious to everyone. If his in-laws did not agree with this...
When he learned the whole story, Li Hongying was immediately convinced. Well, he was the future heir of the Gu family. When Tingqin was 22 years old, he might not be as good as him.
Li Hongying instructed the housekeeper, "First, deliver the gifts I brought back to Mr. Gu's family and convey my apologies."
Since they didn't agree, it was not good to bother them anymore, so he said, "I will stay in the studio and paint for the time being."
Li Hongying and Liang Qing spent hundreds of millions at the auction and hurried back to China, which attracted the attention of many people. They all said that they returned to China to meet their relatives, but they disappeared as soon as they came back.
When asked at a social gathering, which daughter of a wealthy family he was going to marry after spending so much money on a gift, Liang Qing only said modestly, "I'm still pursuing her. We are both equals, so why talk about marrying her?"
People in the circle were even more curious about what kind of top wealthy family could make a family like the Li family not even dare to talk about the word "marrying".
Li Hongying was painting in the studio. After painting several paintings, he asked Liang Qing excitedly, "Sister Qing, look at these. One is for Mr. Gu, one is for Mr. Gu, one is for Mrs. Gu, and one is for..."
Liang Qingdu shook his head and said, "Aren't you in the late stage of procrastination cancer? Why are you so fertile all of a sudden?"
Li Hongying smiled and said, "Now I have no bottleneck in my creation, so I can paint a few more pictures to celebrate the wedding without any problem."
People in the circle heard that Mr. Hongying has settled in China. People often visit his studio. Seeing a bunch of works that either say "Live as Long as the Southern Mountains" or "Be Joyful and Cheerful", they are confused. Is he really preparing for a wedding?
Li Hongying shook his head: "I just painted it and put it aside. Can't I use it in a few years?"
People in the circle waited for three years to see Li Tingqin and his mysterious "fiancée" get married. Li Hongying painted "Live as Long as the Southern Mountains" every year, but the wait still didn't come.
Whose daughter is this? The whole family has to chase her for three years?
Three years later, Gu’s President’s Office.
Xiao Yu, an assistant who has just been working here for a few months, received a new work assignment: "Prepare for the business trip. Mr. Gu will be on a business trip to City A next week. He and Mr. Li have a cooperation project to discuss."
Xiao Yu got the project information and the time and place of the interview, and began to arrange the itinerary, find a hotel nearby, and arrange transportation...
When he handed the plan to Secretary Lin, Secretary Xu said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you that Mr. Gu doesn't arrange a hotel for him when he goes on a business trip to City A."
"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded. Mr. Gu should have a lot of real estate in City A.
Xiao Yu arranged other matters, and in the second week, he and Secretary Lin accompanied Gu Chen on a business trip to City A as an assistant.
At the cooperation meeting, he met this close partner of the Gu Group. His appearance and demeanor were indeed as good as their reputation, and he had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Gu.
In the past three years, the win-win cooperation between the two companies, one in the south and one in the north, is inseparable from these two young leaders.
The meeting came to an end, and both Gu Chen and Li Tingqin stood up and went to the lounge, as if they had something else to talk about.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu went to the tea room to get the kettle and prepared to add some tea to the lounge.
As soon as they entered the lounge, they kissed passionately and did not separate until both of them started to breathe rapidly.
Li Tingqin said: "Ah Chen, you haven't been here on a business trip for a long time."
Gu Chen said: "It has been several months."
Then the two couldn't help but kiss each other again.
Gu Chen pushed him and panted, "There are so many people outside. It's exciting to have sex inside with the wall between us, right?"
At this time, someone really knocked on the door, and Gu Chen heard Xiao Yu's voice: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Li, is it convenient for me to come in and add some tea?"
Gu Chen said directly: "Come in."
Xiao Yu opened the door and came in, but was stunned. The sofa was very wide and could indeed seat two people, but Mr. Li's hand was around Mr. Gu's waist, and Mr. Gu's hand was on Mr. Li's shoulder. What did that mean?
Gu Chen said naturally, "Remember to send the luggage to Mr. Li."
Xiao Yu subconsciously said, "Okay, Mr. Gu."
After Gu Chen finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Xiao Yu and continued to talk to Li Tingqin: "Under the current circumstances, it's not impossible to get married."
Xiao Yu's hands trembled as he poured the tea. Oh my god!!! What is the relationship between Mr. Gu and Mr. Li?
Li Tingqin said: "Then I will propose again this year?"
Xiao Yu's hands continued to shake as he poured the tea. How long have the two bosses been together? The two companies have been working together for three years. Wouldn't they always have this kind of scene in every meeting?
Xiao Yu poured the tea, closed the door and went out. Li Tingqin asked, "Is this your new assistant? Will you tell anyone?"
Gu Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you tell others. Aren't you planning to get married? Are you afraid of making it public?"
The two teams have been working together for three years and are old acquaintances. This time, the discussion on the next cooperation plan went very smoothly, and the interests of both parties will be more deeply bound together.
The meeting was about to end, and everyone had already started to sort out the information, but Gu Chen said slowly: "Everyone, what do you think...I would like to form an alliance with Mr. Li to strengthen our cooperation?"
"Cough cough!" The vice president of Gu's who was drinking water choked immediately. Although it was a deep cooperation, there was no need to go to this extent, right?
Li Tingqin couldn't hide his smile and said, "Boss Gu's suggestion is good."
Other senior executives of Li Corporation: “…” You two must be kidding, right?
Xiao Yu, who knew the truth: “…” This is not a marriage at all…the two bosses have been together for a long time.
The meeting ended and the two parties left. Everyone thought it was just a joke between the two, but they didn't expect that not long after, news of the engagement really came out between the two families.
The executives of the two companies were shocked. No, are you serious? What kind of marriage requires two big bosses to personally arrange it?
People in the circle were also shocked, but they didn’t think so. How could this be an arranged marriage? Could this be the “daughter-in-law” that the Li family has been pursuing for three years but has yet to find?
No wonder Ms. Liang never mentioned "marriage" or "daughter-in-law"... How could the Li family marry this girl? No wonder Mr. Hongying painted birthday pictures every year... Three years ago was the critical moment when Mr. Gu took power. Mr. Li had an affair with the heir, and he was not beaten to death by the elders. It was really...
The insiders of the two companies finally came to their senses...
In his early years, Mr. Gu had studied at Li's and even worked as Mr. Li's secretary. Could it be that these two have been together for a long time? !
So what kind of meetings were they having during these three years? ! But speaking of it, these two really have been pursuing their careers and love lives in parallel without any interruption.
If the result of these two people's three years of fund-raising is to double the market value of the two companies, it is not impossible for them to continue doing it, right?
