Chapter 365 Extra 21
As you enter the hotel lobby, a perfectly cool breeze hits you in the face, immediately dispelling the summer heat.
Emperor Jingwen never had any social requirements for his wife. After all, the emperor's woman, even if she was just a concubine, had to bow and greet the wife of a minister without rank. Even if she was a lady of imperial edict, she was just exempted from the greeting step. There was no reason for the emperor's woman to please others.
It might have been okay in the past, as his wife she might occasionally need to deal with other bosses’ partners, but now the circumstances are special, so after considering it, I decided to forget it.
Soon Emperor Jingwen called over his assistant who had been waiting at the venue. Noticing that his wife was already feeling unwell after walking such a short distance, he pointed at the assistant and motioned him to help his wife find a place to rest. He also asked the assistant to ask the waiters at the venue for some food and fruit that could suppress morning sickness.
...So, why is he always so confident!
After the young man's series of actions, the woman saw the embarrassment flashing across the face of the young male assistant who had just graduated a few years ago. For a moment, she stood there, not knowing whether to extend her hand or not, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Let a handsome man over 180cm tall help her to rest, how could he think of that!
Even if the male assistant can bear it, she may not be able to control herself!
The woman knew long ago that this man had an addiction to being an emperor. Could he really treat all the female employees around him as palace maids and all the male employees as eunuchs? But these eunuchs were not real eunuchs at all!
Is this person so confident that I won't cheat on him? Or maybe he has never thought about it at all. In this case, even if I cheat on him, he probably won't find out in his lifetime...
“…Thank you, but thanks.” Considering that the other party had never done anything to let her down, two seconds later, the woman reluctantly refused the close contact with the handsome male assistant. After all, if this was photographed by someone with ulterior motives, it would be a lot of fun.
The male assistant also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
After searching around for a good spot and finding a leather chair a few dozen meters away, the male assistant hurriedly said, "Madam, this way, please."
Today's banquet is filled with handsome men and beautiful women. Logically, women should be worried. After all, their husbands are young, handsome, rich, well-versed in history, well-informed, and have excellent calligraphy. Even famous calligraphers praise their calligraphy. They can recite ancient Chinese literature and ancient sayings at will, without being tainted by the vanity of modern society. Even if they wear a suit, they still have the elegance of ancient charm. Such men are in great demand wherever they are. Coupled with the influence of hormones during pregnancy, it is inevitable that they become suspicious.
But the woman didn't worry about these things at all. After all, with the temperament of a young man, he would just say what he liked openly and confidently, and would never steal anything. Thinking of this, she simply followed the handsome male assistant.
He had no idea what his wife was thinking in this short half minute. About ten minutes later, when Emperor Jingwen was holding a glass of wine and chatting with someone, he suddenly seemed to see the prince in the meeting hall again.
This time, before Emperor Jingwen could react, a noise came from the entrance of the meeting hall.
"Boss Xun is here!" Someone shouted from a distance. After a small exclamation, Emperor Jingwen saw a lot of people surrounding him.
Judging from the situation, the person coming is probably of extraordinary status.
Just as Emperor Jingwen was filtering various information in his mind, a man who looked like a boss couldn't help but speak up and gave an answer: "It turned out to be him. I didn't expect him to come today.
”
This lucky guy who emerged ten years ago is almost familiar to anyone who has experienced that period.
After all, how many subordinates in this world can receive a gift from their boss? Moreover, the boss made a will before his death, with such a large amount of money that made everyone who received the news cry with envy.
Although those numbers may not mean much to the person involved, they are enough to make most bosses jealous when put on the market.
What's more, the other party was able to successfully start his own company with the help of this will. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and the original Secretary Xun turned into the big boss Xun. The coincidences in life are truly admirable.
"That Young Master Gu is really generous. I wish I had such a generous boss." As he spoke, the boss couldn't help but sigh, the envy in his eyes almost overflowing, and he didn't notice the sudden tightening of the young man's hand beside him.
So that was the case. It turned out that Boss Xun was the secretary from before.
As for the other party’s former boss…
Emperor Jingwen lowered his voice and slowly read out a name - Mr. Gu of the Gu Group, Gu Shao.
If we were to say what shocked Emperor Jingwen the most in the past twenty years, it would naturally be the fact that he was reincarnated into another world, but what bothered him the most was another thing he accidentally discovered a few years ago.
Ever since Emperor Jingwen decided to do business for the rest of his life, there was one person that he could not avoid from beginning to end, and that was the young man named Gu Shao.
Although he was also young and gifted, he was involved in a much wider range of fields than he was. He was an expert in medicine, experiments, shipping, etc. It seemed that there was nothing in the world that could stump him. Even though he had been dead for five or six years, others were still amazed when they mentioned his name. Emperor Jingwen would never forget the look on his face.
In addition to business, he has also made great achievements in academia and can be said to be a genius among geniuses.
However, such a brilliant man died of a genetic disease when he was less than 30 years old. His death was very strange. Logically speaking, with the drugs he developed in foreign laboratories, he should have been able to save ten people. There are so many big figures in the world who can survive with the same terminal illness, but he died so quickly. It is too strange.
Since he had no chance to see the real person, Emperor Jingwen just listened to it as a story, until the person who said it took out the photo he had treasured for a long time.
There are three people in the photo, and it seems to be an accidental group photo. Although Emperor Jingwen feels that the youngest one looks familiar, he has never seen him before. But the middle-aged man next to the young man... The moment he saw the other person, Emperor Jingwen's memory was suddenly pulled back to the more distant past.
Emperor Jingwen remembered that his youngest son had paid special attention to an ordinary family in the capital for a period of time, especially the father of that family. Emperor Jingwen clearly felt the fleeting strong emotion his youngest son showed towards the other party, not to mention that he personally admitted that the reason why he treated the father differently was because he once dreamed that the other party had a very close blood relationship with him.
Now it seems that it was not a dream at all. Xiao Jiu just used the dream as an excuse to talk about the relationship between himself and his father in the previous life.
As for the young man who looked like a dandy in the photo, when he met the other's familiar black and white eyes, what was there that Emperor Jingwen didn't understand?
Gu Shao is Xiao Jiu and Xiao Jiu is Gu Shao. The other party is just like himself and others. He fell into another world by accident. This way, everything can be explained.
Why did he know what was on the other side of the sea? Why did he know that Lu City had the food that Da Zhou had always longed for, and the mysterious weapons in the wooden box... Now we finally have the answers.
When the last piece of the puzzle was completed, Emperor Jingwen did not feel relieved, but instead felt empty inside.
Since Xiaojiu traveled through this world, then... will he come back?
Emperor Jingwen couldn't help thinking this, but he didn't dare to think about it any further.
At this time, when the boss beside him said, "It would be great if my son and daughter could be as capable as Mr. Gu," Emperor Jingwen finally couldn't help but said, "Sorry, I have something else to do. Excuse me."
After saying this, without waiting for the boss's reaction, Emperor Jingwen walked straight towards Mr. Xun, who had now become an influential figure in the circle.
Xun Jing thought that the young man in front of him was just like the others, trying to get close to him. He was about to send him away with a smile, but suddenly he heard the other party say, "Sir, could you please tell me about that young Mr. Gu?"
For some reason, Xun Jing vaguely felt a sense of familiarity from the young man in front of him, and subconsciously stopped waving his hands.
When he heard the voice of "Mr. Gu", even though Xun Jing had been through many battles in the past ten years, he still couldn't help but feel dazed. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had nodded without knowing when.
"…good."
After reacting, looking at the young man in front of him, for some reason, Xun Jing seemed to have noticed something and suddenly asked: "You know our young General Manager Gu, right?"
Although this was a question, the man said it in an affirmative tone.
Emperor Jingwen paused after hearing this. After a long while, he almost whispered, "Do you know him...? Maybe."
They were just a father and son who knew each other for a short time but never opened up to each other until the end.
At the same time, on the other side, at the end of a very remote corridor outside the venue——
When the prince turned a corner, as expected, he soon saw two familiar figures.
The scene he just saw by accident was indeed not an illusion. Combined with the secret code left by the two people, the prince thought about it and finally came.
"It's you indeed." As the prince approached, the faces of the two people who had been waiting there gradually became clearer. If these two people were not the Fourth Prince and the Second Prince, who else could they be?
Seeing the prince's face, the second prince was startled and suddenly laughed.
"So even you didn't choose him..."
The answer to who he is is self-evident.
Before the prince could answer, two more "click" footsteps were heard. When they looked back, they saw a tall young man with a cold face and a familiar yet unfamiliar little girl walking towards them step by step.
