Chapter 699: Neglecting one's proper duties!
Chu Yan called the bank, and they sent someone to remove the items.
It wasn't until the afternoon that they finally managed to move everything away.
Back at the Gu family home, they saw Gu Le petting the two chickens, while Wang Yanzhi was talking with the rest of the family.
"Grandma! Ah Le! When did you get back?!" Gu Yin exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Le stood up, smiling and calling out, "I've been back for a while! Grandma said you were busy with something, so we didn't want to disturb you!"
Gu Yin walked closer, reached out and ruffled Gu Le's hair, and said with a smile, "How did you grow so fast? What did you eat! It's only been a short time since I last saw you, and you're already up to my shoulder! In a few more months, will you be as tall as me?!"
Gu Le chuckled, "It's not that fast, but I'm not that tall. Many of my classmates who are twelve or thirteen are taller than me; I'm actually considered short! But I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, with our family genes, I won't be that short! Sister, are you done with your work?" Then she looked at Chu Yan, "Brother Chu, why are you always sticking to my sister? What about your company? If you keep neglecting your work, what if your competitors steal your business? I'm back now, I'll keep my sister company. You go ahead and do your work!"
Chu Yan glanced at him, took the milk tea and dessert from Gu Yin's hand, and snorted as he walked inside: "When there's trouble, it's Brother Yan; when there's no trouble, it's Brother Chu. Ha, you said one word and I ran off to America, and now you don't like me and say I'm not doing my job properly! Gu Le, what did you learn when you went abroad to study?"
Wang Yanzhi laughed and said, "Serves him right! Who told you to spoil him! I don't know when he met that person. That person isn't stupid, but he foolishly trusts others! That led to him being scammed! And by his own teacher! I was thinking of helping out because we're Chinese, but Ah Le said it was too slow and hung up on you. And you, you came over and solved it without even asking! I haven't even asked you about this yet, whether it has any impact on you?"
If she hadn't known Chu Yan's reputation over there, and his teacher's background, she definitely wouldn't have let him get involved. To put it simply, it was a conflict between Li Yang and his teacher; in reality, Li Yang was just cannon fodder for a large conglomerate's money laundering! If outsiders got involved, they could easily be killed themselves if they weren't careful!
Chu Yan cleared his throat and said, "It's alright. They are also wary of my teacher. Li Yang is already working at Chu's, and he's quite capable."
Wang Yanzhi nodded upon hearing this: "That's good! Don't spoil him too much!"
Chu Yan smiled and said, "He's the youngest in the family, and it's something that comes naturally to him. He knows what he's doing."
Gu Le immediately smiled and went to Chu Yan's side, putting her hand on his shoulder and chuckling, "I was just joking! I was just jealous that you could be with my sister, I was just jealous! Brother Yan is the best!"
Chu Yan glanced at him, then put the food on the table: "Have something to eat. After you're done, go to the study. I want to see what you've been learning."
Gu Le's eyes lit up. Did this mean they were going to test her?!
Gu Le immediately grabbed two cups of milk tea and pulled Chu Yan toward the study: "Let's go! Let's go now!"
Seeing this, Chu Yan turned and nodded to the people in the room, then glanced at Gu Yin and pointed towards the study.
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "I'll call you for dinner later!"
After the two left, Gu Yin sat down next to Wang Yanzhi and asked with a smile, "How long has Grandma been back this time?"
It was truly unexpected that Zhou Wansheng was summoned to Dabai Mountain. As a result, she took on the task of training Gu Le, spending two-thirds of the year abroad, which must have been quite difficult for her.
Wang Yanzhi smiled and said, "We can stay a little longer this time! We've all heard about you abroad! You know, Ah Le's school is a bit special, so those people get the information faster and more accurately. They keep inviting Ah Le to dinner, banquets, and so on. To avoid bringing you any negative impact, Ah Le doesn't have any activities planned for the second half of the year, so we went back to Hong Kong first to finish up the company's business and make arrangements before coming back. This time, we plan to stay a little longer! We also miss everyone!"
Grandma Gu nodded with a smile: "It's good to come back and rest for a while! The farm at home has a lot of fruits and vegetables harvested. The four of us old folks go there every day, and our health is getting better and better! There's a saying in our area that if you stay in the city for too long, you should go to the countryside, walk barefoot in the fields, and breathe in the earth's air—it's good for your health! I don't know if it's true or not, but you look a little tired, so it's good for you to come with us for a walk every day to relax!"
Wang Yanzhi sighed, "Seeing the photos and videos you guys post every day, I've wanted to be with you guys for so long! This time I'm back, I'm not going to worry about anything anymore. I've already handed over the company's affairs to A-Le and let him handle it himself! I'm just going to relax with you guys!"
Anyway, the overall situation is stable, and Gu Le is perfectly capable of handling the minor tasks!
At this point, Gu Jianguo looked at Gu Yin and said, "We plan to visit your grandma's and my hometown this summer. We haven't been back for years, and we don't even know if that village is still there. We've settled down in Beijing now, and you're all grown up. Although your grandma and I have no one left in our family, going back to visit will put our minds at ease!"
The main concern is that as I get older, my memory and physical strength will decline, and I won't be able to find my way home anymore! When I was younger, I was busy making a living, so I didn't have such a strong desire to go back, and I didn't have much money either. Later, when I had more money, everyone's career and studies were just starting to develop. Now that everything is stable, the older I get, the more I want to go back and see the place where I was born and raised, and go back to offer incense.
Gu Yin nodded: "Grandpa, please set a time, and I'll tell Dad and the others. I'll also make sure my schedule is clear so we can go together!"
Gu Jianguo smiled and nodded: "No rush, you all make the arrangements properly, we can't let this delay our important business!"
Wang Yanzhi disagreed: "Going home is also a serious matter! You just focus on preparing, we'll set aside a week, and if that's not enough, we can postpone it! I'll ask Lao Zhou to come along too! Our family, no one can be left out!"
The Zhou family should also offer this incense!
