Chapter 332: Flower of Gaoling
Gu Siqing looked at the classmate Pang Qiong, who was said to be the most beautiful girl in the class, but her eyes met hers. Gu Siqing smiled at her, but she turned away arrogantly and walked away indifferently.
This is a cold beauty, Gu Siqing commented.
"She basically doesn't socialize with her classmates, but she has something to be proud of. Her father works at the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Her deskmate, Qu Anyi, was a gossip-monger. She not only told her about Pang Qiong's situation, but also briefly shared the resumes of several influential people in the class. Gu Siqing could only say that even a small high school class had its share of intrigue.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. But this has nothing to do with her.
On the first day of class, the curriculum wasn't very intense, and the day went by quite easily. Senior year was approaching, and the upcoming classes would definitely be quite intense. Although Gu Siqing had already been recommended for admission, she still hoped that her grades would allow her to enter Peking University.
Tomorrow is Sunday. Gu Siqing had asked Zhang Zijun to contact a photographer to take pictures of her. After school, she ran to the bicycle shed, wanting to go home quickly to find some nice clothes.
When she arrived at the bicycle shed, she pushed her bicycle out, but as soon as she turned around, she collided with a car. When she looked up, she saw that the person she collided with was one of the most popular figures in their class - Kang Yuanze.
According to gossip expert Qu Anyi, Kang Yuanze has a good family background. Qu Anyi did not explain to what extent. Gu Siqing guessed that his family background should be similar to that of Ye Chi and Zhang Zijun.
Moreover, this classmate Kang Yuanze not only has a good family background, but also has good academic performance and good looks, so many female classmates like him. However, this classmate Kang is too aloof. Except for a few close classmates, he basically doesn't talk to others. He is a true flower of Gaoling.
Gu Siqing didn't know if it was good luck or bad luck that she bumped into this aloof beauty on her first day. Now she didn't know who bumped into whom first. To get home quickly, Gu Siqing smiled at the other person and said, "I'm sorry."
Kang Yuanze was indeed aloof. He hummed calmly and walked out with his bike. Gu Siqing didn't care. Everyone has different personalities. She pushed her bike out of the shed, got on it, and left.
It was unknown what fate had led to Kang Yuanze being ahead of her. When he saw the entrance to the alley where her house was, he turned his handlebars and rode his bicycle in. Gu Siqing also turned into the alley, and then saw Kang Yuanze enter the house next to hers.
Why haven't I seen him before? Gu Siqing muttered to herself as she entered the house. The meal was already prepared, but Wang Yueju was the only one at home. No one else had returned yet.
"How was school today? Did you get along well with your classmates?" Wang Yueju asked her.
"It's okay, but my deskmate looks quiet and gentle, but he's actually a gossip expert." Gu Siqing said.
Wang Yueju smiled after hearing this and said, "This kind of classmate is also very good."
"I'm going to take photos tomorrow and find some nice clothes." Gu Siqing said as she returned to her room. Wang Yueju followed her in and while picking out clothes with her, she said, "I'm planning to open a factory that produces four-piece bedding sets and collaborate with your Aunt Kong."
During her return to Lizhou, she met Kong Xiuwan. During their conversation, she mentioned her desire to start a four-piece suit business. Kong Xiuwan, who owned a textile factory, was also interested and suggested a partnership. Wang Yueju thought it was a good fit and went home to discuss it with Gu Jianguo.
Gu Jianguo also felt that it was a good fit. Firstly, they had been together for such a long time, so he knew that there was absolutely no problem with Kong Xiuwan's character. Secondly, she ran a textile factory, so if he partnered with her, he wouldn't have to worry about raw materials. If he wanted any pattern, Kong Xiuwan's factory could just make it.
However, since it was Wang Yueju's first time running a business on her own, she didn't have much confidence, so she wanted to talk to Gu Siqing.
Although my daughter is young, she has a lot of ideas about business. It was she who first suggested that the family start a business and open a supermarket, and all her ideas were very effective.
Gu Siqing certainly had no objection to her mother and Kong Xiuwan going into business together. She said, "That's great. Aunt Kong runs a textile factory, so it's a good fit."
"I think it's suitable too," Wang Yueju took out a red sweater and handed it to her, saying, "I mean, your Aunt Kong has no objection to setting up the factory in Kyoto."
Gu Siqing hummed, "But I think it would be better for you to hire two designers. Designers are more professional in selecting and coordinating patterns and colors."
"Your Aunt Kong said the same thing, but it's hard to find designers now." Wang Yueju has been troubled by this issue these days. The college entrance examination has only been resumed for a few years, and the designer major is not popular, so there are not many talented people in design.
Gu Siqing thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a student to do part-time work."
"That's fine too." Wang Yueju said.
The mother and daughter were chatting and picking out clothes when Gu Jianguo and his friends returned a short while later, along with Zhang Zijun. Seeing Gu Siqing, he said, "Xiao Si, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning for a photo shoot. I've made an appointment. Can we do it in the Grand View Garden where Dream of the Red Chamber is being filmed? They're filming there right now, so it's a good time for you to go and snap a few pictures."
Gu Siqing hadn't imagined Zhang Zijun had such a wide network of connections, even knowing the photographers from the "Dream of the Red Chamber" TV series. The 1987 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was such a classic, she hadn't imagined she'd get to visit the set in her lifetime.
"Brother Jun, you are awesome!" Gu Siqing gave him a thumbs up.
Zhang Zijun chuckled, "That's nothing."
The next day, Gu Siqing got up early and tried on several of the outfits she had chosen. Zhang Zijun drove over just as she finished. Gu Erhui was also off today, so the three of them went to the Grand View Garden to take photos.
As soon as I went out, I happened to meet Kang Yuanze riding out on his bike. When he saw Gu Siqing, he was stunned for a moment, then rode away. Gu Siqing and Gu Erhui got on the bike and heard Zhang Zijun muttering, "Why is that kid from the Kang family here?"
"Do you know him?" Gu Siqing asked casually.
Zhang Zijun started the car and said, "The Kang family also lives in the government compound, so we know each other."
Gu Siqing said "oh" and then started asking Zhang Zijun about the filming of Dream of Red Mansions. She was very curious, but Zhang Zijun knew nothing about it.
When they arrived outside the "Grand View Garden", Zhang Zijun stopped the car and told the people at the door that he was looking for Sang Kaiji, and the gatekeeper let them in.
As soon as she entered, Gu Siqing couldn't stop looking. It turned out that the Grand View Garden on TV looked like this. The scenery was indeed beautiful.
It is said that this Grand View Garden was specially built for the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions". Just think about how awesome the crew of the 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was.
