Chapter 139 Slippery Tongue
Everyone has his own way of living, just like Zhang Zijun. People in the upper circles of Kyoto basically sigh when they talk about him. The Zhang family has produced many talented people, but there is such a second-generation rich man who does not work properly.
But these people have to say that the second generation ancestor of the Zhang family is different from the second generation ancestor of other families. Although the second generation ancestor of the Zhang family is sometimes arrogant and domineering, he has never caused trouble to the family. Some elders even like him very much.
Why?
Because he can read people's faces, he knows who he can offend and who he can't, and when to hold back his arrogance and when to let it go.
Moreover, when it comes to being likable, as long as he wants, even Ye Chi, who has a high emotional intelligence, cannot compare to him, because he can be shameless, but Ye Chi cannot.
At this moment, Zhang Zijun stood beside Wang Yueju, helping her put the food on the plate, and said, "When I went to our restaurant before, I saw how beautiful the eldest sister and Erhui were, and I knew their mother must be no ordinary person. After meeting you, it's just as I thought. What's more, you are even more beautiful than the eldest sister and Erhui."
Gu Yimin: ""
Gu Erhui: ""
You are really a professional at pulling people down.
No one doesn't like to hear nice words, and no woman doesn't like to be praised for her beauty, even middle-aged women who are nearly 40 years old. Although Wang Yueju knew that what Zhang Zijun said was exaggerated, she still couldn't help but feel happy.
"Have you been to our store? Where are you from?" Wang Yueju asked with a smile.
Zhang Zijun saw Wang Yueju's eyes on the steamed dumplings and helped her pick a few. He said, "My family is from Kyoto, and my father worked in Lizhou, so I also lived there for a while. I'm the only one in my family, with no brothers or sisters. My mother passed away when I was eight or nine, but my father never remarried and devoted himself to his work."
"Zhang San, why are you here too?"
A familiar voice came, and the smile on Zhang Zijun's face froze for a moment, then he said, "I have two older cousins, and I'm the third child in the family. Auntie, I'm going to say hello to my friends."
Wang Yueju found Zhang San's name a bit funny, and her smile widened. She said, "Go quickly."
Zhang Zijun smiled and turned around, then walked towards a young man in his twenties with a cold face. When he got close to him, he said, "Didn't I tell you not to call me Zhang San?"
The young man said with a playful smile, "It's just a name. It won't affect your chances of finding a partner."
"Let's go, don't eat here anymore." Zhang Zijun pulled him out.
Wang Yueju returned to the table with her tray and sat down, smiling, "That little Zhang is quite interesting."
Gu Jianguo snorted coldly, "Is it interesting to praise you a few times? I think you are shameless."
Wang Yueju looked at her four daughters, her eyes asking: What happened? They were fine just now.
Gu Siqing sighed helplessly, picked up the vinegar at hand and handed it to Gu Jianguo: "Dad, here's the vinegar."
Oh my god! You were so coaxed by a young man that your face was full of smiles. Even if that young man is your daughter's suitor, Daddy is jealous!
Gu Jianguo took the vinegar and placed it beside him. Wang Yueju immediately understood what he meant and said with a smile, "You are already so old, yet you are still so narrow-minded."
How old is Gu Jianguo: I am not yet forty.
Gu Siqing leaned over to Gu Yimin's ear and whispered, "Zhang Zijun is distracted."
Comrade Wang Yueju was pleased, but Comrade Gu Jianguo was unhappy.
Zhang Zijun came back halfway through the meal and sat down next to Gu Erhui naturally. He smiled and said to Wang Yueju, "Auntie, what are your plans for today? How about I take you around some fun places in Kyoto? I'm familiar with Kyoto."
"No, we have something to do today." Gu Erhui refused. She and Zhang Zijun were nothing now, and letting him continue to mess around like this would be bad for everyone. But it was obvious that Zhang Zijun had no intention of leaving, so Gu Erhui could only pull his arm and walk out.
After leaving the restaurant, the two stood facing each other. Gu Erhui said, "Zhang Zijun, you can't do this. I already know what you mean. You have to give me some time to think about it."
Zhang Zijun was silent for a moment, "How long do you want to think about it?"
Gu Erhui really couldn't give him an accurate time. How could feelings come all of a sudden? Anyway, she wouldn't fall in love with someone at first sight.
"I don't know how long it will take," she said.
Zhang Zijun: "Okay, I understand. I'll go to Lizhou to play later."
After saying that, she turned and left. Gu Erhui muttered to herself that he was quite obedient and returned to the restaurant. Wang Yueju asked her, "Is Xiao Zhang gone?"
Gu Erhui nodded, and Wang Yueju said, "The young man is very good, you can get to know him."
Gu Jianguo snorted, "What's good about that? Slippery tongue!"
Wang Yueju ignored him; he was clearly in a bad mood today. The four sisters lowered their heads to eat while the old couple bickered, remaining silent unless things were too serious.
After dinner, Ye Xingjian's guard arrived and said Ye Chi had returned to the army on a mission, so he would take them to buy a house. Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi had already agreed that they would each own one of the houses near the Forbidden City, and the remaining three would be divided between the Gu family and the Han family.
With money and connections, the house-buying process, while cumbersome, didn't take long. Within two days, several properties were paid for and ownership transferred, but the property and land certificates wouldn't arrive for another half a month.
This is easy, just come and get it in half a month.
Gu Siqing roughly estimated that the three houses her family had bought would be worth at least a billion in a few decades. A billion! Even in her previous life, she had never seen so much money.
I can only say, it feels so good to be reborn!
After buying the house, the next thing to do was to discuss with the publishing house about the publication of Gu Siqing's "Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled?" After breakfast that day, Gu Jianguo and Gu Siqing went to the newspaper office together.
When they arrived at the newspaper office, they saw an elegant man in his fifties standing at the door. Seeing the father and daughter, he walked over and said with a smile, "Is this classmate Gu Siqing?"
Gu Siqing was stunned for a moment, "Yes, you are Editor-in-Chief Yu?"
Yu Jianbai smiled kindly and nodded, "It's me."
Gu Siqing greeted him and introduced Gu Jianguo, saying, "This is my dad."
Yu Jianbai reached out his hand and shook Gu Jianguo's, saying, "Gu Siqing is very outstanding. You have raised a good daughter."
Gu Jianguo was happy to see his daughter praised, but he also felt a little guilty. He had never trained his daughter to write. So he said, "I don't have much knowledge. This child has worked hard on her own."
Yu Jianbai disagreed with his words and said, "You are being too modest. A writer's growth is not only influenced by literary cultivation, but also by the influence of her surroundings on her thinking."
The ideas reflected in "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled" are positive, optimistic and progressive. Yu Jianbai believes that Gu Siqing's living environment should be like this.
