Chapter 922: I'm leaving
Wu Chong took a big gulp of tea and said helplessly, "My dad just called and scolded me, saying I'm not doing my job properly and that I'm making a scene about my love life tonight, making a laughing stock of myself. I contacted Liang Jie and asked her to delete it, but she didn't do anything. The Liang family even added fuel to the fire, saying that as long as we get married, the company will be ours. It's utterly ridiculous. Do I need that little bit of money?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin opened her phone and indeed saw the message Liang Jie had sent.
"Nobody knows your background. Now netizens are calling you a 'phoenix man' (a man from a poor background who achieves success), and they're telling Miss Liang to be careful not to be fooled."
Wu Chong nodded: "I saw it. It's okay. Let them talk. My dad should have someone take these things away later."
Families like theirs rarely have their children's information appear online. Their daily gatherings are usually with people in their social circle, or even if they aren't, the attendees are all savvy individuals who wouldn't release their information.
Gu Yin replied, "Do you need my help? I own an entertainment company."
Wu Chong laughed and said, "It's nothing serious, no need for you to be such a big shot. A phone call will do the trick."
Seeing his reaction, Gu Yin stopped caring. Indeed, if they made a phone call, it would be strange if the platform's president could just sit idly by.
"Hey, isn't this the club next to our village?" Gu Shu took out his phone and showed it to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin flipped through the pages a few times and handed them to Dao Wuchong: "So Liang Hao is messing with you at the club next door, but he's exposed your information. What do you think?"
It turns out that someone had relayed what the old man had said to Liang Jie to Liang Hao, asking him for his opinion.
"Grandpa's getting old and senile. My sister's stupidity isn't even enough to fool the Third Young Master, yet she wants to manage the company! It's defying the heavens! It's like a hen crowing at dawn! The company will be finished sooner or later! My parents will absolutely not allow it!"
"Who is the Third Young Master? Is he your sister's boyfriend? Is he really a 'phoenix man' (a man from a poor background who achieves success)?"
"Ha! He's not some 'phoenix man' like they say online, he's a prince! Understand? The third one on the list! He's not like us! If you ask me, it's a miracle I didn't marry into a family like that, it's because our ancestors were blessed! And she's so dramatic! Breaking up all the time, and now they've really broken up, and the old man's pulled this stunt, hahaha, the third young master isn't buying it! For people like them, dignity is everything! You might have a chance if you talk nicely, but with your threats and inducements, forget it! Only my silly sister doesn't understand men. I'm sure she posted that picture to announce it, trying to force the third young master to admit it, but he's ignoring her! How embarrassing! I'll watch her embarrass herself! The whole country knows now, let's see how she tries to take the company from me! Come on, let's drink!"
Wu Chong turned off the uploaded recording and handed the phone to Gu Yin: "It's nothing. He didn't even say my name. The Liang family won't go far."
"Enough of that! Today I'll let you try my cooking! My grilled oysters are absolutely delicious!"
Gu Yin looked at him, puzzled, and asked, "You eat this all the time?"
"Ah, this is a must-order when eating barbecue!"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "You're not that old, there's no need to take so many supplements. Don't be shy about seeing a doctor, or I can get you some medicine."
Wu Chong: "...I love to eat! I like to eat! What's wrong with me?! I'm not like Liang Hao who loves to play around! No, what's wrong with your head, you're a young lady! Grandma Gu! Look at Gu Yin!"
The old lady didn't understand the story of oysters; she only heard her granddaughter mention seeing a doctor.
The old lady said in a serious tone, "If you're sick, go see a doctor. What's there to be afraid of?"
Wu Chong: "...So, are we still going to eat these oysters or not?!"
Gu Yin looked at the oyster, which was bigger than her face, and nodded vigorously: "Just kidding, we have to eat it!"
Wu Chong glanced at Long Yu, who was laughing so hard he could barely breathe, and angrily kicked his chair: "Laughing! What are you laughing at! Hurry up and come with me to deal with this!"
"Alright, alright! Hahaha, I didn't mean to laugh at you! Really! Hahaha." Long Yu reached out and helped him deal with it.
Gu Shu looked at Gu Yin with a speechless expression: "She can say anything."
Gu Yin coughed lightly twice: "I'm planning to do a small research project, so I've been learning more about this. It's occupational stress, you have to understand!"
Anyway, whether it's true or false, nobody knows, so let's focus on building a good image first!
Upon hearing that it was an experimental project, Gu Shu indeed stopped grumbling about her.
In an hour, everything was ready, and the charcoal fire was glowing red.
Gu Yin placed a large skewer of lamb on the shelf: "Let me show you my skills! Senior Jin, just wait! I'm not good at cooking, but I'm an expert at barbecue! And bring me an eggplant too."
Gu Yin was busy grilling meat skewers while also grilling eggplants.
Everyone, whether they knew how or not, joined in, making it a very lively scene.
"The meat skewers are ready! Senior! Come on, have a taste!" Gu Yin handed a large skewer to Jin Wanli.
Jin Wanli looked at the crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, tempting in color and with a tantalizing aroma in his hand, and then at the black, unrecognizable thing that Chi Xing had given him, and decisively chose Gu Yin's.
Seeing Jin Wanli eating without making a sound, Gu Yin asked in confusion, "Why don't you give us your opinion, old man? Is it delicious or not?"
Jin Wanli finished his skewers, drank a couple of sips of water, and nodded in satisfaction: "It's alright."
Gu Yin, with a blank expression, said, "Oh, I still have some freshly grilled prawns here, anyone want some...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the prawns on the shelf disappeared.
Gu Yin glanced at the large shrimp in Jin Wanli's hand and scoffed, "Isn't this just makeshift?"
Jin Wanli raised his eyebrows: "Compared to that girl Chi Xing's, it is indeed delicious, but compared to what I've had before, it's just so-so."
"What did you eat back then, celestial beasts?!"
Gu Yin casually made a comment, and the old guy actually fell silent!
He really ate mythical beasts!
Seeing Gu Yin's frustrated face, Jin Wanli laughed and said, "I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
Gu Yin: "..." Gu Yin sat down angrily!
She ate the pancake first!
"The oysters are ready! Come and have a taste! They're served raw here, but if you don't like that, you can have them grilled!"
Looking at the grilled oysters, Gu Yin picked one up: "They're quite heavy, and the meat is so plump! Mmm, the flavor of garlic and chili peppers can't mask its sweetness! Delicious! But compared to eating them raw, with a few drops of lemon juice and a creamy texture, it seems like eating them raw is even better."
Wu Chong smiled and nodded: "These are king oysters air-freighted back from France. They're mainly for eating raw, so they taste better raw. But we have some elderly people with us, and we're worried their stomachs might not be able to handle it, so grilled oysters are also good. It's just food, nothing to be picky about! As long as everyone enjoys themselves!"
Gu Yin nodded, ate two more, then a few more palm-sized grilled shrimp of various flavors, and went straight to look at the bamboo rice.
She ate so much seafood last night that she really couldn't eat anything today; a bowl of rice would be more satisfying for her.
Gu Yin watched for a while, and when the outer shell was almost charred, she picked up a cleaver and split the bamboo tube open. A fragrant aroma of rice and meat mixed with the scent of bamboo wafted out.
"This looks delicious, give me half."
Gu Yin handed him half of the food, saying, "There's so much good food over there, aren't you going to eat it?"
Jin Wanli remained silent, slowly and methodically eating the fragrant bamboo rice.
After taking the last bite, he put down the empty bamboo tube, picked up a cleaver, and split the other one in half.
“I have a feeling that I won’t be here for long.”
