Chapter 320 A Storm is Brewing!
Looking at the dignified and elegant Gu Yin, Zhao Feifei pursed her lips. The more she looked at Gu Yin, the more noble she seemed, while she herself looked like a fallen heiress! No matter how unwilling she was, she didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.
Xue Wen looked at Gu Yin with amazement and asked softly, "Why are you here alone? Where is Chu Yan?"
Gu Yin was speechless. When did she ever mention coming with Chu Yan?
However, she didn't say it outright. Instead, she looked at Zhao Feifei and Zhao Tengfei and said with a playful tone, "I came with my grandfather."
The two men's eyes immediately filled with panic! How could Zhou Wansheng be here! He never gets involved in these kinds of things!
Seeing that Xue Wen still wanted to talk to Gu Yin, Zhou Tengfei pulled him back, saying with increasing nervousness, "Wu Ye is walking this way."
Xue Wen turned his head and saw Wu Ye walking towards him. He straightened his clothes, took a glass of champagne from a passing waiter, and smiled at Wu Ye.
"Good evening, Mr. Wu Ye! I am Xue Wen from the Xue family of China. I have never had the chance to greet you before. I have long admired your name!"
Wu Ye saw Gu Yin sitting there from afar and came over to ask where Zhou Wansheng was, but was stopped by a young man he didn't recognize.
One shouldn't hit a smiling face, so he smiled and clinked glasses with the other person: "So it's the Xue family from China. Why didn't your patriarch come?"
The Xue family owns jewelry, and the old man usually brings people here to inspect the goods. Wu Ye has met him a few times and they are acquainted.
Xue Wen smiled modestly and said, "It's hot, so the old man went to escape the heat. Besides, we younger generation have all grown up and need to learn to take on responsibilities. We can't always let the old man work so hard. That's why, when he heard that your store was opening, he sent me over to take a look and learn from the seniors."
Wu Ye wasn't interested in other people's business, so he nodded and said, "Then you should have fun and learn from the experienced masters. If you can learn something, then the trip will be worthwhile!"
Just as he finished speaking and was about to call Gu Yin, a young girl stopped him.
"Hello, Grandpa Wu Ye! It's been a long time! I wonder if you still remember me!" Zhao Feifei didn't care whether Gu Yin was there or not. She immediately stopped Wu Ye, raised a sweet smile, and greeted him.
Zhao Tengfei also stood to the side and greeted him with a smile.
Wu Ye looked at the two of them and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Zhao Feifei tucked a stray hair behind her ear and said sweetly, "I'm Feifei, Feifei from Hong Kong. Don't you remember me? I'm the Feifei who used to talk to you every year during the Lunar New Year. You even gave me a lot of jewelry. Don't you remember?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Ye glanced at her, then at Gu Yin on the sofa behind him. He narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "You're Zhou Wansheng's granddaughter?"
Zhao Feifei's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly in surprise: "Yes! You still remember!"
Wu Ye smiled and asked in confusion, "Weren't you in Hong Kong during the Spring Festival this year? I called to look for both of you, but neither of you were there."
Zhao Tengfei explained, "We were studying in Beijing, and the school had to hold make-up classes, so we didn't go home for the Chinese New Year. That's why we missed your call, which is a pity."
Xue Wen looked at Zhao Tengfei with a puzzled expression. Why would a college student like him need extra classes? Besides, no school offers extra classes during the Lunar New Year. But he didn't ask. That wasn't important. What mattered was the admission ticket for tomorrow.
Wu Ye nodded in agreement; whether he believed it or not was up to him.
"You guys have fun first. If there's nothing else, I'll go chat with the others. Enjoy your meal!" Wu Ye said, preparing to leave.
Xue Wen nudged Zhao Feifei, who quickly smiled and said, "Grandpa Wu Ye, I heard there's another auction going on tomorrow. I'm curious, could I come along and take a look?"
Wu Ye stopped and looked at the girl in front of him, whose eyes were full of calculation. He felt quite glad for the shipping magnate that such a fool was his granddaughter. He could have just thrown the gun and left her to avoid making a fool of herself.
Wu Ye frowned: "This isn't something I can just let you in on a whim. You need to be worth at least 1 billion and have at least 500 million in liquid assets. Otherwise, if I let you in and break the rules, how am I supposed to stay in the underworld?"
"I... my family has 1 billion! I'll go in, and then they can go in as my teammates!" Xue Wen's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.
Wu Ye shook his head: "It's not your home, it's you personally. Only you personally have it."
Xue Wen was stunned. Personal assets? His personal fixed assets were less than ten million, his savings were less than two million, and he hadn't even received his share of the family business yet. How could he possibly have all of this? Even his father didn't have this much.
Zhao Feifei was also stunned, but she quickly recovered and clasped her hands together in a coquettish manner: "Grandpa Wu Ye, isn't this plate up to you? Just take us in. We just want to see what top-quality goods look like. If anyone asks, just say I'm your friend's child who came to play. That way, no one will say anything, right?"
A hint of disdain flashed in Wu Ye's eyes. Seeing that Gu Yin remained silent, he feigned ignorance and said, "Why bother with all that? The shipping magnate is here too, isn't he? You wait here, I'll go get him and have him take you tomorrow! You wait here, I'll go find someone and be right back!"
"Hey!" Zhao Feifei tried to pull him back, but Wu Ye walked too fast and she didn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
Zhao Tengfei said nervously, "We can't let Grandpa know we're here, or we'll be sent back immediately. My mom and dad have made up, but Grandpa still has a problem with us. Young Master Xue, let's leave here for now. Let's let it go this time and come back another time."
Upon hearing this, Xue Wen had no choice but to leave with them.
Gu Yin, who had just watched the whole thing, thought, "..." Does that mean I'm not the female lead, so I don't have to experience the messy things the female lead goes through? That's pretty good.
Wu Ye returned and sat down next to Gu Yin, asking in confusion, "Those two seem to be traveling outside in your grandfather's name. Why didn't you stop them?"
Gu Yin laughed, picked up her drink, and clinked glasses with him: "Don't you think it's hilarious? Watching them lie, watching them live in constant fear, and then, just when they think they've succeeded, I reach out and poke them! Poke! Their dreams are shattered! See how fun that is!"
Wu Ye: "...That's crazy, I like it! Otherwise, don't come back to China, you can be my granddaughter, and I'll raise you to be my heir, how about that! Listen to me, you're just suited for life here! Doing experiments every day is so boring! It's not as exciting as our life here!"
Gu Yin put away her smile and said seriously, "Becoming a useful person to the country is my lifelong belief. Everyone and everything must give way to this belief."
Wu Ye: "..." You're so serious now, but who was that crazy person just now?!
That's the problem with China; from a young age, they cultivate children to be people with strong sense of national unity, patriotism, and unwavering trust in the country, making it impossible for them to poach a child from China! It's infuriating!
"Alright, I know you're patriotic! Okay then! Work hard, I might need your help in the future! Future scientist! Toast to you!" Wu Ye raised his glass with a smile.
It was just a joke at the time, but who would have thought it would become a reality in the near future!
After the meeting ended, Gu Yin told Zhou Wansheng about her encounter with Zhao Feifei in Myanmar after returning to the hotel.
Zhou Wansheng only asked who the other party was with and whether they had made things difficult for Gu Yin. After learning that Gu Yin had not suffered any losses, he stopped caring.
The next day, Gu Yin and the others got into the car that Wu Ye had prepared and headed to the mining area.
The car drove further and further into the remote area. Gu Yin looked out the window and saw that, according to the route, the car was heading up the mountain. There were at least 50 cars along the way, not just theirs.
Apart from those big-shot clients, the rest were all bodyguards.
After watching for another half hour, the car stopped halfway up the mountain.
After Gu Yin got out of the car, she looked around and saw that the area was very vast. The mountaintop had been leveled and the top was an airport with several planes parked on it. Off-road vehicles were moving back and forth, and there were armed people all around, with very strict security!
Gu Yin had only seen similar scenes while filming, but those were all fake, while this was all real.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Wansheng instructed Gu Yin and Gu Le: "Stay close to me and don't wander around. Of course, don't be afraid or too nervous. Everyone here is your grandfather Wu Ye's man. Nothing dangerous will happen. Besides, everyone here is a big shot, and the bodyguards they brought are top-notch. No one will dare to cause trouble here. Relax."
Gu Le nodded and took her grandfather's hand, following beside him.
As Gu Yin followed the group, she kept 001 on high alert. She wondered if her luck had turned around, but she had a feeling that this trip wouldn't be peaceful and that a storm was brewing.
