Chapter 763: Come on, let's hurt each other! (Two chapters combined)
The eldest son of the Zhang family did not look at his wife, but turned to his father and said seriously, "What she did to my mother back then, you covered for her. We were too young to do anything about it, but now what her son has done has endangered the entire Zhang family. Father, if you still can't tell what's important, then I have no choice but to tell the clan about this and have Grandpa rearrange the family. Even if our branch of the family is no longer given important positions, even if I am no longer the eldest son of the Zhang family, it's still better than having a brother who is a traitor!"
"Shut up! Our Cheng isn't a traitor! You guys must have set him up! I won't say anything about how you always ostracized him, since I'm in the wrong! But he didn't even get a job at the company! Did you have to go to such lengths to destroy him?! Are you even human?!"
When Madam Zhang saw that her eldest son dared to abandon her and her son, she became anxious and hurriedly shouted, "We don't know the truth of this matter yet, husband! Once the family finds out, your position in the family will definitely be gone. Even if Cheng is innocent later, this time has been enough for the other branches to place people in the company! Are you going to give away all your hard work over the years and let others benefit from it? You need to think of a way quickly and find out what really happened! Don't panic first!"
Mr. Zhang's face had already turned pale when he heard his eldest son's words, but now, hearing Mrs. Zhang's words, he felt a sense of anticipation.
He slowly stood up and looked at Mr. Chu: "Old Master, could you please help me inquire about this matter? Just inquire to confirm the truth of the matter, we will find a way to handle the rest ourselves!"
That's all I can ask for. If I were to ask someone for a helping hand, I'd be acting without realizing it!
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Chu said, "You can't handle this matter. What you've heard is the truth. Instead of wasting time speculating here, you should go back and think of a solution with your father. If some people aren't worth it, you should let them go. After all, you have other family members, and you have other children. Alright, you can go now!"
If it weren't for the fact that the Zhang family patriarch was a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, Old Master Chu wouldn't have bothered to say anything more about such a poorly raised child.
Seeing that his father still looked confused, Young Master Zhang's eyes darkened. He bid farewell to the Chu family, then nodded to Gu Yin and the other members of the Gu family before quickly leaving the Chu family. He didn't have time to persuade his father anymore; he should go back and discuss how to handle the situation with his grandfather.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhang quickly asked his second son to help him up, and then hurriedly chased after her. Mrs. Zhang glanced at Gu Yin again, and thinking of the information about her online, her face grew increasingly pale and frightened. She staggered after her.
After everyone had completely left, Old Mrs. Chu snorted, "If you ask me, we shouldn't have let them in! They don't know any manners at all. They came in and started crying and whining! I don't even know her well; we've only met a few times! That strong perfume smell was almost suffocating me! It's only because your grandfather is such a nice guy that he let them in and listened to all that nonsense. If your father were here, he would have thrown them out long ago!"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Old Master Chu coughed lightly and said, "I had a little relationship with Old Master Zhang a few years ago, but that relationship is over after this incident. What are you saying? My son dares to embarrass himself here, but do you think I wouldn't? I'm just concerned about saving face! Who do you think called Ayan back? Wasn't it me who called my son and told him you were being disturbed, and asked him to call Ayan back to handle it? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would disregard your feelings for the sake of bad people?"
The old lady snorted, "You think you're right? Fine!"
After saying that, he stood up and looked at the Gu family members, smiling as he said, "The family has asked the opera house to send some performers to come and sing. The stage has already been set up in the backyard. You don't need to go back, come and listen with us!"
Since arriving in Beijing, the two elders of the Gu family have been going to see operas with the two elders of the Chu family from time to time, and have become quite knowledgeable about it. However, the other members of the Gu family have not had much contact with this aspect.
"We're free tonight, I'll have the housekeeper bring over some good food! Let's go listen to some opera while enjoying delicious food and tea!" Gu Qingming was in a good mood because Gu Hua's matter had been resolved, and he called out with a smile.
The Gu family's foundation is not as deep as the Chu family's, but in terms of food, sometimes the Chu family can't compare. This is because many things are sent to Gu Yin from Dabai Mountain. Those things are limited in quantity and can't be bought anywhere even if you have money, such as tea and pastries.
Grandpa Chu's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Then brew two more pots of tea! I love that!" Drinking that tea helps me sleep soundly through the night! It's truly amazing!
Gu Qingming waved his hand: "Leave it to me! Uncle, Aunt, my parents, please go and sit down and wait for me!"
The others were also quite excited and headed towards the backyard.
When most of the people had left, Gu Hua walked over to Gu Yin, reached out and hugged her arm. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Yin stopped her with a smile: "You don't need to say anything. You're my sister, right?"
Gu Hua's eyes reddened, and she turned to lean on Gu Yin's shoulder, nodding in a muffled voice: "It's my sister, my sister forever!" Neither of her own sisters had ever treated her as well as Gu Yin. Before they even realized the implications of those small things, Gu Yin had already nipped them in the bud, protecting them like a sieve!
Gu Yin patted Gu Hua and said with a smile, "Chen Jishen is looking around over there. He looks so anxious that people might think I'm bullying you. Go over there quickly."
Upon hearing this, Gu Hua looked up and turned around, and sure enough, she saw the other person looking at her with concern. She smiled and said, "Then I'll go over first. You guys should come over soon too."
After Gu Hua left, Chu Yan put his hand on Gu Yin's shoulder and sighed, "My girlfriend is too amazing, which makes me, her boyfriend, feel completely useless. Why do I feel a little frustrated?"
Before Gu Yin could speak, Chu Yan continued, "It's better if you're stronger, so you won't get bullied in places I don't know about. I'd be so worried and upset if you did. It's okay if I'm not very useful, nothing is more important than your safety! You're very strong, but your moves are still not very structured. I'll have the bodyguard captain arrange some lessons for you later. Relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself. Even I can't guarantee I'll be there for you when you're in danger! Anyway, you're mostly teaching students now, and the lab isn't too busy. How about some martial arts lessons? The captain and the others are different from regular instructors; they teach you self-defense and killing techniques, which will be more useful for you."
Gu Yin thought about her own time and then considered that if she were sent to other worlds in the future, it would be really good to have martial arts skills. She had only learned the proper things from the system before, but sometimes, being a little rogue would be more effective!
So he nodded: "Okay, I'll ask him to arrange it tonight, and you can learn along with him!"
Chu Yan thought for a moment and nodded: "Then I'll go with you." He would handle the company matters during the day and leave the rest to Qiao Yang, since Qiao Yang was free anyway.
Qiao Yang, who was working overtime in a meeting, felt a chill down his spine. He looked at his assistant and said, "Go turn up the air conditioning a bit. I feel a little cold. Also, have the secretary make me a cup of coffee, no sugar. And remember to have them order food. We'll continue discussing the plan after we eat. If we don't finish tonight, we can all sleep at the company."
The existing employees were already numb to it all, but this new boss's assistant, for some reason, was incredibly excited every day, like he was on steroids! He was either working overtime or on his way to work overtime! If it weren't for the high salary, high bonuses, and high subsidies, they wouldn't be putting up with it!
"By the way, let everyone choose what to eat, and our CEO Chu will cover the expenses!"
The somber atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became lively!
"I want to eat steak at that Western restaurant downstairs! The most expensive one!"
"I want to eat the Sichuan-style chicken from the kitchen!"
"I want……"
Qiao Yang did not join them, but instead reported the contents of tonight's meeting to Chu Yan, and also mentioned the expense that needed to be reimbursed.
At this moment, Chu Yan and Gu Yin were sitting in the last row listening to the opera. After seeing the content on his phone, he sent a message without any expression: "From now on, please set aside two hours for me in the morning and evening. You can arrange the rest of the time as you see fit."
Qiao Yang was completely bewildered upon receiving the message. After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to Gu Shu.
"Are you and your sister getting married, boss?"
Upon receiving the message, Gu Shu looked even more confused. He turned to his uncle beside him, thought for a moment, and then leaned over: "Uncle, are Ayin and Ayan getting married?"
He was met with a slap from Gu Qinglang: "What nonsense are you spouting? Have you gotten delusional from watching a play?"
Gu Shu, who had just realized this, sat up with a wronged expression, clutching his shoulder. He then took out his phone and started typing furiously: "Have you eaten? Have you finished your work? Do you have a girlfriend? Has your salary increased? Have you finished staying up all night? You're really bored!"
After sending the message, he turned off his phone, stared at the stage, and remained silent.
In the conference room of the Chu Group building, Qiao Yang, feeling repeatedly stabbed in the back by the text messages, angrily picked up his phone and dialed the number, only to find that Gu Shu's phone was switched off. He immediately threw his phone on the table.
With a loud thud, the conference room fell silent instantly.
Everyone looked at Qiao Yang. When Qiao Yang turned around and saw them like this, he was immediately furious: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat! We still have to work overtime after we finish eating! By the way, let's have a final battle until dawn tonight, so that our families won't worry, let's tell them."
Everyone: ...
Okay, the world where everyone in the conference room was harmed has been achieved!
