Chapter 135: Big News
To be honest, Tu Ran was deliberately avoiding Gu Xixing.
She knew that this person was not easy to deal with, so she didn't want to provoke him at all, but the other party seemed very proactive.
When she came back today, she asked herself, if this competition was not organized by Chengtian Pharmaceutical, Gu Xixing's company, would she have participated?
The answer is - yes, it was because she wanted to avoid suspicion that she gave up the opportunity to participate.
Gu Xixing: What are you busy with?
Tu Ran: Reading.
Gu Xixing: What book? Can you tell me?
Tu Ran: Yes, The Faraway Savior
Gu Xixing: I like this book too. Have you seen the TV series version?
Tu Ran: I haven’t seen it yet, but I heard it’s very good.
Gu Xixing: Yes, the hero and heroine have a very high level of understanding of the Way of Heaven, and there are also some Zen principles in it.
Tu Ran: Yeah.
Gu Xixing: I heard something about you today.
Tu Ran: What?
In fact, after hearing what Gu Xixing said, she was a little nervous, fearing that she might not have done something right in school and bring trouble to Principal Wu.
That's why she has been suppressing Mu Wanjun and not letting her confront the rich second generation Wang Dongxu. After all, she was afraid that it would get out of hand and cause endless trouble. As long as she could help that poor female classmate, it would be fine.
Gu Xixing: "I'm sorry about the poor students. I apologize first. I didn't mean to overhear. I went to a meeting with my teacher this afternoon and heard him discuss it with several school leaders."
Tu Ran: Oh, so that’s it.
Gu Xixing: I always thought you were a very calm person who didn’t like to meddle in other people’s affairs. I didn’t expect you to speak up for poor students.
Tu Ran: You are right, I really don’t like to meddle in other people’s business. This matter... is a little special.
Gu Xixing: This matter has been finalized, I have taken over.
Tu Ran: Huh? What do you mean?
Gu Xixing: I told my teacher that Chengtian Pharmaceutical does charity work every year, and this year's quota hasn't been used yet. The company also has a certain amount of money for charity. So, I'm proposing that we use the group's name to sponsor needy students at your school. Not just your class, but any other class, as long as they come from a financially challenged background, can receive it. Each person will receive 5,000 yuan per semester, which also includes all meal allowances.
Tu Ran suddenly fell silent. She didn't know what to say.
It’s impossible to say I’m happy, I just feel pressure.
Because she knew that if she hadn't gone to see the principal, Gu Xixing would not have made this decision.
It all started because of her.
Gu Xixing: I’m not telling you this to show off, so don’t feel pressured, okay?
Tu Ran: I know.
Gu Xixing: Our company does charity work every year, and this is also an opportunity. It also made me realize that there are so many of my junior schoolmates who come from poor families but cannot get scholarships from the school due to some other reasons, so I am also trying to do what I can.
Tu Ran: Oh, okay.
Her reaction was still a little cold, but Gu Xixing was smart enough to not notice it.
Gu Xixing: You won’t be angry, will you?
Tu Ran: No.
Gu Xixing: I will not let the media publicize it, nor will I publish the list of poor students. I will give dignity to the beneficiaries. Donations will be one-on-one, so don't worry.
Tu Ran: Okay.
Gu Xixing: Are you free tomorrow night?
Tu Ran: I’m busy.
Gu Xixing: Why are you so wary of me? You didn’t even ask me what I wanted to do, and you said you were busy.
Tu Ran: I’m really busy.
Tu Ran didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that this man treated her differently.
It seems that it is not as simple as just being friends.
Although she has never made friends with the opposite sex, it is unlikely that friends would behave like this, not to mention that there are differences between men and women.
Gu Xixing: Look silly, I’m not trying to embarrass you.
Gu Xixing: Actually, we're having a new product launch tomorrow night. We'll be showcasing some very interesting products. They're not medications, of course; I'm not such a ruthless capitalist. They're physical therapy devices, some for treating chronic cold legs and some for lumbar muscle strain. I think they're very interesting and I'd like you to check them out, since you're interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Tu Ran: I’m sorry, I’m really busy.
Gu Xixing: It’s okay, let’s talk about it when you are free.
Tu Ran did not reply to Gu Xixing. In fact, he did not expect that Gu Xixing would have to pay for this incident in the end.
If I had known this earlier, I would have privately funded Dong Xue with her.
Tu Ran put down his phone, worried.
At this moment, an explosive news almost swept the entire place.
——Breaking news, Lin Chen, president of Lin Group, is suspected of losing money in digital currency speculation. Due to excessive mental stress, he climbed to the roof of the S Building and suspected of committing suicide by jumping off the building.
Tu Ran frowned slightly after seeing it.
Because I don’t know whether it is true or not, I can only open the news link and click on it.
I didn’t expect it to be a live broadcast.
There are already more than 300,000 people in the live broadcast room, and the screen is constantly scrolling.
The female host passionately played: Hello everyone who has just joined the live broadcast room. The incident happened suddenly. We are now at the scene. All the Lin family members are here. We saw the Lin family parents and the Lin family daughter, accompanied by police and firefighters, go up to the rooftop to negotiate.
—And Mr. Lin Chen, the president of the Lin Group, had been standing on the roof for about half an hour. Rumor has it that he was emotionally unstable. The police had blocked the stairs and elevator, and no one was allowed to go up. But we could vaguely see a figure on the roof of the 30th floor through the camera.
Some people in the livestreaming room are saying it's hype, but as far as I know, it's not that serious. The Lin Group has been doing brick-and-mortar business for years and is a strong group, so it's not a case of hype.
According to insiders at the Lin Group, the company's funding chain has long been broken, and the group hasn't paid salaries in two months. President Lin Chen reportedly promised them dividends. All the money was invested in overseas digital currencies, but that digital currency reportedly collapsed an hour ago.
——The latest news is that President Lin Chen’s ex-girlfriend, Miss Mai Yuqing, is suspected to have arrived at the scene.
——Please continue to pay attention to the evening news live broadcast room. I am the host Hai Li. Thank you for watching.
With such a big scene, Tu Ran felt that it was probably not fake.
After all, jumping off a building is not a glorious thing as it alarmed the whole crowd.
Can Lin Chen really dance?
Tu Ran smiled coldly. Based on her understanding of Lin Chen, he would not do that. He has always valued his life.
I guess it's just acting, perhaps to avoid bank loans or debt crisis.
Xu Ke wanted to take this opportunity to play the victim and help Lin Siyao get the divorce alimony.
On the rooftop of S Building——
Lin Chen was sitting on the edge of the building in a black suit.
The wind was very strong at night, and his legs hanging in the air looked really scary.
"Chen, don't be confused. What will your mother do if you do something stupid?"
Mrs. Lin was crying her heart out.
"Brother, you can discuss anything with us. Please don't be impulsive, okay?" Lin Siyao was also a little panicked.
"What is there to discuss? There is no way out. I was cheated and I lost." Lin Chen said to himself.
Mai Yuqing's eyes were red from crying, without even looking at her family.
"Achen, please don't do anything stupid, okay? Let's get married now, okay?"
"I'm not afraid even if you lose money."
"We are still young and can start all over again."
"We can still have lovely babies, and you have a long way to go in the future."
Mai Yuqing's words were so touching that even the Lin couple were moved, but Lin Chen remained indifferent.
He suddenly turned around and said to the police, "I want to see Tu Ran."
"Who?" The police was also stunned.
Thinking about his family and his girlfriend, they have all come, so why is there still a name I have never heard of?
When they heard the word Tu Ran, the Lin family was dumbfounded, and Lin Siyao's face turned black.
Mai Yuqing felt even more disheartened. What she had just said seemed like a joke.
