Chapter 692: The Temptation of Money (Two chapters combined)
After feeding the medicine to the mice, Gu Yin did not let anyone else take over. Except for eating and going to the toilet, she spent all her time observing. Even when she rested, she would only take a nap in the laboratory before continuing to observe and record.
Outside, chaos reigned, and people were frantically searching for her. Security at the laboratory was increased layer upon layer, but Gu Yin inside remained completely unaware.
Chu Yan came looking for someone, but he was also stopped. Because of Gu Yin's instructions, the higher-ups had handed over the film and television cooperation to him, and his company was about to get busy. He originally wanted to come and tell Gu Yin, but he was stopped before he could even get close to the gate.
There was nothing I could do but leave her a text message and then go back to get busy.
This incident caused quite a stir, and the number of security guards at the entrance of Qingdao University was several times greater than usual. The president was both happy and worried!
He was overjoyed that the school had produced such an extraordinary genius, but he was also worried about Gu Yin's safety, whether she was eating or sleeping well, and whether she would be safe outside the lab. So he had a kitchen set up next to the lab building and arranged for someone to cook for her separately. He also set up a dormitory room next door for her to live in, but Gu Yin never left the room except to have food delivered to her!
The principal said, "This child is so well-behaved! He doesn't give us any trouble at all, and just stays inside quietly without coming out. He's sensible and capable. How did other people raise such a child?!"
Gu Qinglang, who was being visited by another large foreign company, was busy at the moment and didn't know what the principal was thinking. If he did know, he would definitely say, "Don't ask, it's just hereditary!"
After seeing the guests off, Gu Qinglang immediately summoned his secretary: "Tell the front desk that anyone coming to visit must say I'm not here! Especially those people from abroad! A-Yin made the product, what good is it for them to visit me?! I can't make decisions for A-Yin! These people are using both threats and bribes! They're absolutely outrageous!"
The secretary nodded: "Boss, why don't you go home first? If anything happens here, I'll contact Mr. Baixiao. For important decisions, I'll come to your house!" Looking at the wave after wave of people, he was also a little worried about his boss's safety.
Gu Qinglang nodded upon hearing this: "Alright! I'll leave through the back door!"
After the secretary left, Gu Qinglang changed his clothes and was about to leave when Tie Mao stopped him: "How can you go out like this? There are people blocking the back door and the back door. Let me have one of our company's stars take you out! It'll be safer that way."
Gu Qinglang immediately nodded upon hearing this: "Then I'll have to trouble you!"
Afterwards, Gu Qinglang changed into casual clothes, wore a hat, and followed a male celebrity out. At the entrance, he saw many foreigners and reporters, which was utterly speechless!
Their group attracted attention, but after realizing that Gu Qinglang wasn't the leader, they went to bother the security guards again.
Upon returning to the Gu family home, Gu Qinglang saw his wife and Gu Qingming and his wife.
"You've been visited too?"
Li Mengxin nodded: "The club couldn't do business normally! My brother was worried about our safety, so we closed down and came back."
"Let's stay home for the next few days and see what the higher-ups say. If it doesn't work out, we'll stay home a little longer until this wave of hype dies down before going out again! Ah Yin is such a good kid! Hahaha!" Gu Qingming was in a good mood. His child's success made him happier than making money!
“No one should be looking for Ahua, right? Ashu is at Qingda University, so I’m not worried. I heard from Ayan that security there is very tight. I just don’t know how Ahua is doing. Have you contacted Ahua yet, brother?” Gu Qinglang asked worriedly as he sat down.
Li Xiang nodded: "I contacted them when I came back and told them not to leave the school. They are just older brothers and sisters, so it shouldn't have much of an impact!"
At Huada University, Gu Hua was finishing her get out of class when she received a message from her foreign teacher asking her to come to the office.
Gu Hua packed her things and called Chen Jishen.
Where are you now?
Chen Jishen parked the car next to the school road: "I'm downstairs in the teaching building. Zhou Shen's matter has had a big impact. Don't leave the school gate unless you have to. I came to find you first and told you some things to pay attention to. Are you downstairs yet?"
Chen Jishen saw the news in his studio that some foreign entrepreneurs and journalists had actually found Zhou Shen's parents' company! Those people, when stopped, didn't think there was anything wrong with their behavior; instead, they thought Zhou Shen's parents were impolite, etc.
Concerned for Gu Hua's safety and knowing her class schedule, he immediately drove to the school.
After waiting downstairs for a while, I saw Gu Hua come out with her schoolbag on her back.
Chen Jishen stepped forward and took Gu Hua's schoolbag: "Want to eat in the canteen or outside? If you want to eat outside, you can go to my studio. It's surrounded by government office buildings, so no one will dare to cause trouble there."
Gu Hua shook her head: "My mom called me and said it's a bit chaotic outside and told me not to go out. My foreign teacher just asked me to go to the office. I thought about it and there's nothing I need to do in English class, so I'm a little worried that it might be related to what's going on outside. I'd like you to come with me."
Although the school is a safe place, Gu Hua still didn't let her guard down. With Chen Jishen accompanying her, she felt more at ease.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jishen ruffled Gu Hua's hair and said, "It's good that you're smart. Let's go. It should be about Zhou Shen's business. No matter what he says, just say you don't know or are unclear. Your main responsibility is to study. Family matters are not your concern, and you can't concern yourself with Zhou Shen's business either. I'll wait for you outside. Call me if you need anything."
Gu Hua nodded.
The two went to the teachers' building together.
This floor is full of foreign teachers, and it just so happens to be break time, so there's not much to worry about as the teachers are coming and going.
Upon reaching the door, Gu Hua took out her phone and dialed Chen Jishen's number: "Don't hang up. If anything happens, you'll know immediately."
Seeing her serious expression as if she were about to enter the bandits' den, Chen Jishen immediately laughed: "Don't worry, go in. With me here, you'll be fine! I promise!"
Seeing his serious expression, Gu Hua recalled watching a video a couple of days ago, where his parents delivered a powerful and eloquent speech in court, easily defeating their opponents. This reassured her.
"Hello, teacher!" The office door was open, and Gu Hua knocked and went in.
The foreign teacher is a foreigner who mainly teaches the professional English of Gu Hua's department. He is a middle-aged man who is very humorous and professional, and has a good reputation.
"You're here. Have a seat. Your teacher needs to speak with you."
The desk was a bit far from the door, so the teacher didn't close the door.
Gu Hua sat down, quietly and obediently looking at the other person.
The foreign teacher glanced away, then took a sip of tea before looking at Gu Hua: "Is there anything you don't understand in your studies?"
Gu Hua shook her head: "The teacher explained it very clearly in class, and there was nothing I didn't understand."
The foreign teacher nodded and picked up a document from her desk, handing it to Gu Hua: "This is the application for admission to the University of Florida. Are you interested? Or what are your future plans? I've noticed you've been looking at international law lately. If you're going to pursue a master's degree in law, I would suggest you study abroad. You're probably aware of the prestigious reputation of the University of Florida."
Gu Hua looked at the application on the table. Her family had all seen this application when they learned that Chu Yan was going to study at the University of Florida. After all, it was a world-renowned university, so it was understandable that everyone was curious.
"Although my academic performance is excellent, I don't think it's so excellent that the University of Florida would send me an application without any assessment. There's a saying that goes, 'There's no such thing as a free lunch.' Everything has a cost, and there's no such thing as a benefit that can be obtained without effort. If I accept this invitation, what price will I have to pay? I'm quite curious."
The foreign teacher smiled and said, "Your country is truly a magical place, I like it very much, but foreign countries also have their own charm. So, in addition to this application form, there is also this card with 1 million US dollars in it. If you accept, your tuition at Florida University will be waived, and you will be given 50,000 US dollars per month for living expenses. After graduation, law firms in the United States will open their doors to you. All you need to do is hand over your sister, Ms. Zhou Guyin's, experimental paper and data on implanted chips to me completely, no matter what method you use."
Gu Huaxin sighed, "Just as I thought!"
"Teacher, have you ever thought that if my sister's experimental data were leaked, our entire family would be criminals against the country? Do you think I would do such a thing for these things?"
"The United States welcomes your whole family; you will be treated as honored guests!"
Gu Hua smiled and shook her head: "I'm sorry, teacher. Although Foshan University is very attractive, it's not my place, so I won't accept it. Besides, my ambitions aren't that lofty. I'm happy to stay in my country. As for the future, as long as I work hard, I believe I will reach the position I most look forward to."
The foreign teacher sighed: "Actually, I'm quite reluctant to use this method, but there's no other way. You didn't accept the task given to you by your superiors, so they can't do anything about it. I can't refuse. I hope you won't hate me. We have different positions, different countries, and different ethnicities. Let's just pretend that what happened today didn't exist."
Gu Hua smiled and stood up: "I don't know what the teacher is really thinking, but I will tell the principal about today's events. I hope you can understand that it's normal for Chinese children to seek help from adults when they encounter something wrong. I hope that next semester, the teacher will still be our teacher."
The foreign teacher opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she could only manage a wry smile.
Gu Hua didn't look at him again and left the office. Those who aren't of our kind are bound to have different intentions. This was all an assignment from above. How could she pretend nothing had happened? Even if he had his reasons, it was none of her business!
As I stepped outside, I saw Chen Jishen holding his phone to his ear.
"Let's go to the principal's office."
Chen Jishen straightened up, nodded, and smiled at her: "Attorney Gu performed exceptionally well today! Superb!"
Gu Hua coughed lightly: "What big lawyer? Don't say things like that. People will laugh their heads off if they hear it! Let's go, let's go!" After saying that, she quickly walked upstairs.
Seeing her embarrassed, Chen Jishen smiled, hung up the phone, and followed her. In his heart, she was a great lawyer!
Three days have passed since the foreign teacher called Gu Hua to the office that day. Today's foreign teacher class was taught by a local teacher instead of the foreign teacher. It seems that the principal has already taken care of things!
Seeing this, Gu Hua didn't pay much attention and opened her textbook to listen attentively to the lecture.
