Chapter 394 Get him!
In Hong Kong, after Old Mrs. Zhao was driven away, the party continued as usual. However, Gu Yin's family did not continue to go with Zhou Wansheng to recognize people, but instead returned to the Gu family home to chat.
Everyone sat on the sofa. Wang Yanzhi looked at Gu Qinglang and the others and smiled, "Isn't this kind of place boring and tiring?"
Gu Qinglang nodded and then shook his head: "I'm not bored, but I'm a little tired, afraid of saying the wrong thing and embarrassing my father."
Wang Yanzhi said helplessly, "It's not that serious. In our family's position, 90% of the time we don't need to worry about anyone's feelings. As long as you're comfortable with yourself, that's enough. The remaining 10% are high-ranking national leaders. When we encounter these people, we should still be humble, but we don't need to be too nervous. Just let things take their course!"
I only knew that the Zhou family was very rich, but I didn't know that the Zhou family had such a high status.
Chu Xiong glanced at his son. Although his family was wealthy, they were still a bit less well-off than the Zhou family. He wondered if Uncle Zhou would look down on this kid in the future.
Chu Yan noticed his father's strange look and winked, asking, "What's wrong?"
Chu Xiong shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
Forget it, let him work on his own feelings! If he truly can't have a son, that's his own problem!
Listening to their chatter, Gu Yin turned to call the waiter over, and then noticed that Gu Le's classmate kept looking this way. Gu Yin gestured for Gu Le to look behind her.
"Your classmate is watching you. Is something wrong with him? Should we go check on him?"
Gu Le turned around and saw Xu Zhou, Ai Er, and several classmates.
Seeing Gu Le looking over, Xu Zhou waved happily.
Seeing this, Gu Le said something to everyone, then got up and walked to the back.
"Gu Le!!" Xu Zhou happily went to greet him!
Seeing this, the others followed.
Gu Le looked at them and said, "Welcome to my family's banquet. How are you having fun?"
Xu Zhou was the first to reply: "It was fantastic! This is the first time I've ever attended such a lavish party! I've never seen so many of the dishes before! And I saw so many people I've only ever seen on TV! Gu Le! Your family is so rich!"
Xu Zhou's eyes were filled with envy, nothing more.
Gu Le chuckled: "If you like it, eat more. When you're about to go back, you can go find the waiters and pack some to take away! Just say it was me who said it!"
Xu Zhou's eyes lit up: "Then I won't be polite! I want to bring some back for my dad and mom!"
When they learned that he was going to attend the shipping magnate's banquet, his family was very excited and happy! They specially took him to a high-end shopping mall to buy him a formal suit. They were even afraid that he might accidentally offend an important person, so his father took two days off to give him a temporary etiquette training!
He hasn't made a single mistake at today's banquet. After learning that he could pack leftovers, Xu Zhou's first thought was to bring back some delicacies his parents had never seen before! So they could try them too!
Gu Le looked at the others and said, "If there's anything you want to eat, you can take it back with you. Don't be shy. When I go home later, I'll also bring some of my favorite foods with me!"
Everyone else was delighted to hear this.
Only Elle almost rolled her eyes!
She took two steps back, distancing herself from these people—it was so embarrassing! It was utterly ridiculous! Attending a cocktail party and then wanting to take the leftovers home!
She'd attended at least a dozen, if not a hundred, banquets, and she'd never seen anyone like this before! She'd never seen the host's family not only not stop them, but even help them pack their leftovers!
Ai'er looked at Gu Le. If he weren't a member of the Zhou family, and if he weren't good-looking, why would she be hanging out with a country bumpkin?! Even though he was wearing an expensive dress, it couldn't hide the sour smell emanating from his very bones!
The thought of being ridiculed in the industry after being with him made Ai'er feel uncomfortable. However, considering his family background, and the fact that the Zhou family only had one son, and that Zhou Jia would belong to him in the future, she felt that she could continue to endure for a while longer!
Thinking of this, Ai'er smiled and took two more steps forward: "Gu Le, which school will you go to for middle school after you graduate from elementary school?"
Gu Le shook his head: "It's not clear yet."
The system in Hong Kong is different from that in mainland China. Here, they don't say junior high or senior high school; instead, they call it Form 1, Form 2, Form 3, Form 4, Form 5, Form 6, and Form 7. Form 5 is secondary school graduation, and students need to take the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE). Only those with good results in the HKCEE can enter Form 6 and Form 7 (these two years are also called university preparatory years; students study and attend classes in secondary school, not at university). After graduating from Form 7, students need to take the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE). Only those with good results in the HKALE can enter university, which is three years long. ①
Grandpa's idea was that after he finished Form 5, he would go directly abroad to study at the Royal Academy. The teaching method of the Royal Academy is completely different from traditional school education. There is no college entrance examination, but there are assessments in painting, philosophy, finance, computer science, management, psychology, various ball sports, as well as equestrian assessments, shooting assessments, golf assessments, and various chess and card assessments. There are even assessments in eight languages and military skills!
This is developed in the direction of creating an all-rounder. Students from all over the world who come out of it are either the richest people, presidents, or heirs of wealthy families!
As the future heir of Zhou's Shipping, Gu Le had to learn these things because Zhou's Shipping dealt not only with merchants from all over the world, but also with pirates and bandits.
So he didn't lie to Ai'er; he genuinely didn't know which school his grandfather would arrange for him after he started middle school.
Ai'er thought the other party was unwilling to reveal it, so her lips twitched slightly. Then she continued with an awkward smile, "Then remember to tell me which school you're going to after you decide. We'll go to the same school, that way we can look out for each other. After all, we're all acquaintances, right?"
Gu Le smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later."
After saying that, he looked at Xuzhou and asked, "How's your house going? Has your application been approved?"
Xu Zhou nodded vigorously: "The application has been approved! My dad took the documents to process it the day before yesterday, and we can move in in a month or so!"
This is all thanks to Gu Le. Because of the Zhou family, they originally only had a 60% chance of getting the house, but now the quota has been directly given to their family!
As long as his dad doesn't quit his job, they can continue living in this house! They also have a right of first refusal; once his father has worked for 30 years, they can buy the house with a small portion of the money! All of this is written into the contract!
"We owe it all to you! Otherwise, we would have missed out on the house! Thank you, Gu Le!" Xu Zhou couldn't help but step forward and hug Gu Le tightly, expressing his gratitude.
Gu Le knew that her grandfather had intervened in this matter. Originally, the house could have gone to the Xu family, but He Jiacha intervened, and the Xu family's spot was gone. Later, Zhou Wansheng spoke to the government about fairness, and the list was changed back to the list approved in the first vote, with the Xu family's name prominently on it!
Gu Le smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "We're all brothers, no need to be so polite."
Ai'er pursed her lips. The He family was finished, all because of offending Gu Le. This made her even more determined to get Gu Le!
