Chapter 328 I went to study in the port city
The next day at noon, at the airport.
Grandpa Chu glanced at the time, his eyes filled with reluctance, and said, "Time's almost up. Go now. Take good care of yourself, study hard, and don't get involved in any of those frivolous things. Once you cross the line, you'll no longer be a member of the Chu family. Think things through before you do anything. Ask yourself: Am I capable? Is this what I want? Can I bear the consequences? Think carefully before you do anything. Grandpa looks forward to your return after you've completed your studies!"
Chu Yan reached out and hugged his grandfather: "I know, I will always keep the Chu family motto in mind!"
The old man patted him on the back, and Chu Yan let go, hugging each of his reluctant family members one by one. Finally, he came to Gu Yin. He reached out halfway, but then put his hand down, mainly because Gu Qingming's father was watching from the side, and he didn't dare to.
Gu Yin didn't hesitate. She reached out and hugged him, looking at his thin yet strong and powerful waist.
"Have a safe journey, we'll be waiting for you to come back."
Chu Yan pressed his hands together, buried his head in Gu Yin's neck, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I'll be back soon, wait for me."
Gu Qingming reached out to speak, but Li Xiang stopped him. Seeing her shake her head, Gu Qingming had no choice but to look away.
Alright, alright, I'll let it go since the brat is leaving anyway.
"Time is almost up. Parting is for a better reunion. Let's work hard together. Go on, I'm going back too." Gu Yin's plane ticket was also for today, so they were leaving Beijing around the same time.
After seeing Chu Yan off, who kept turning back to look at her, Gu Yin also said goodbye to the others and boarded the plane to return home.
School hasn't started yet, and because make-up classes aren't allowed, the campus is unusually quiet.
Next month, in September, there will be preliminary rounds of physics, provincial math competitions, and provincial chemistry competitions. All three will be assessed. Fortunately, the dates don't overlap, otherwise Gu Yin wouldn't be able to participate.
Back in the dormitory, Gu Yin checked in with her biology teacher, washed up, and then got back to work.
At the end of August, Gu Yin received a call from Wang Weiwei. She had been admitted to the county high school and her family was going to hold a celebration banquet. She asked if Gu Yin had time to come and attend. Because her hometown was too far away and transportation was inconvenient, Wang Weiwei's celebration banquet was held at a restaurant in the town.
Gu Yin checked the time and it was indeed time for the graduation banquet. Li Xiaohua had also been admitted to the county high school, but her family did not hold a graduation banquet.
After agreeing to Wang Weiwei's request, Gu Yin packed her things and took a car back to the village.
Because of preparations for the start of the school year, the family is all here. Gu Yin will be a junior in high school this year, and Gu Le will be a senior. However, due to recent changes in the family, they cannot decide where Gu Le will study.
The old lady hopes that Gu Le will study in Beijing, where there are family members. The education there is better, so it's better to go there sooner rather than later. Anyway, Gu Shu will take the college entrance exam next year, and the old lady and her family will move there then.
Gu Qinglang hoped that Gu Le would study in the town for another two years, and after Gu Hua and Gu Yin finished their college entrance examinations, they could go to the capital together and study junior high school there. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about his grades dropping because he was in an unfamiliar place.
Gu Yin also leaned towards her father's suggestion, but since it was Gu Le's business, she looked at Gu Le and asked, "Le, what do you think?"
Gu Le straightened his chest and looked at everyone: "I've decided to study in Hong Kong. Grandma will be staying in Beijing most of the time, and Grandpa will be all alone in Hong Kong. I'll go there to be with him. Anyway, I'll be taking over the family business in the future, and I can learn slowly by Grandpa's side."
The courtyard fell silent for a moment, as no one had expected Gu Le to have this idea.
The old lady spoke first: "Do your grandparents know what you're thinking?"
Gu Le shook her head: "I haven't told them yet."
The old lady nodded: "Although it is your family, I hope that when you go there, you will come with the intention of keeping them company, not with the intention of inheriting their property. You cannot covet what is not yours. If your grandfather gives it to you, then you can accept it, and I will have no objection. If your grandfather does not have this intention, I hope that you will not make mistakes because of money. Money can be blinding, but I hope that you will not be controlled by money, understand?"
Gu Le nodded: "Grandma, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."
The main problem is that my father is getting old and doesn't have the ability or the inclination to learn how to manage such a large company. My older sister's mind isn't on these things either, so there's no other way but for him to step in.
Going to the port city was a decision he had made after careful consideration. Instead of waiting until he graduated from university, he decided to go now and start from elementary school so that it wouldn't be so difficult later on. Besides, his grandfather wasn't young anymore. He was all happy and content here, while he would be all alone there, which was rather pitiful.
Gu Qinglang sighed and patted Gu Le on the shoulder: "Thank you for taking care of your father." In fact, he could guess that the biggest reason why Le was willing to go was to keep the old man company for him.
Gu Yin knew that Gu Le was not a child, and she actually agreed with his idea of going to Hong Kong.
Just like in Beijing, there are circles everywhere. If you grow up there, your thinking and handling habits and methods will tend to be more like those there. This makes it easier to integrate into the local circles and manage the company. If you grow up on the mainland, you will handle things the way you do it here, which will make you incompatible with the people there. This will be a big obstacle for Gu Le to manage the company. After all, xenophobia exists everywhere, but it is more serious there.
"Once you appear in front of everyone, because of your grandfather, you will receive many different temptations. I hope you will always remember that you are Gu Le."
It's Gu Le from the Gu family, Gu Le from the small village, Gu Le who finally gets a second chance.
Although Gu Yin didn't say what she was going to say next, Gu Le could tell what her older sister was about to say.
Gu Le hugged Gu Yin tightly, nodded, and mumbled, "Don't you believe me, sister?"
Gu Yin smiled and ruffled his hair: "No, your older sister doesn't believe in this bustling world." Life is unpredictable, and there are many things that people can't control, but people can control what they want to do and what they want to do.
