Chapter 95 The one who tied the bell must untie it
Chen Ci and Gu Lianxing left the restaurant first after finishing their meal, while Luo Tianrui and Ge Youcai sat in the restaurant for a long time, unable to recover.
After a while, Ge Youcai murmured, "Why is this so fake? It's like a dream!"
Luo Tianrui also had this feeling. Even though Chen Ci said she was "gambling", the gambling element was too big and too careless, wasn't it?
They even added each other on WeChat yesterday.
Ge Youcai recovered and looked at Luo Tianrui and asked, "Why did you take the initiative to give up a point? Shen Ci said it was 37!"
Luo Tianrui glanced at him and said calmly: "The risk is all on her. She is so determined to bet on us, so we should get a smaller share. Besides, even if we attract investment from a large group, we can only get 2% at most. So why should we take advantage of Shen Ci? She is an outsider and doesn't understand these things. We can't be conscienceless."
Ge Youcai scratched his head awkwardly, then belatedly agreed, "That's true."
"Don't you have a part-time tutoring job? Why don't you leave now?"
Ge Youcai was startled and quickly checked the time: "Damn, I almost forgot. I'll go first then."
Luo Tianrui nodded and told him: "Don't reveal the good news yet. Wait until the contract with Shen Ci is signed and notarized before you tell us. I'm afraid something unexpected will happen and make everyone's joy go to waste."
Ge Youcai said he understood, put on his backpack and left quickly.
On the other side, Chen Ci and Gu Lianxing had just finished lunch at a small restaurant where the average cost per person was less than five cents, and then moved to a high-end dessert shop where the average cost per person was only a few cents for afternoon tea.
Gu Lianxing asked all the way about Chen Ci's sudden investment, until Chen Ci said to her: "Senior Brother Luo's project is not wanted by Gu's."
"Ah?" Gu Lianxing was slightly surprised.
Chen Ci told Gu Lianxing what happened last night, and her eyes widened.
"My dad just kicked people out like that?"
Shen Ci nodded, but she could also understand that a father who was worried about his daughter would not be in the mood to deal with this kind of work at the moment, and Brother Luo's actions were indeed a bit abrupt.
The timing and behavior were wrong, so it's normal that things didn't succeed.
"You just threw your money in there and really believed they could succeed?"
Shen Ci smiled as he heard this while holding a delicate teacup: "I have already invested, so it is definitely better to have an optimistic attitude."
Gu Lianxing leaned back on the sofa and sighed, then said in a conflicted tone, "If they don't succeed, I'll feel bad for you. If they succeed, I'll regret it for my dad."
Chen Ci smiled but said nothing. The Gu family had nothing to regret. They did not seize the opportunity last time, but instead helped the Li family. This also led to the Li family catching up and surpassing the Gu family in the field of artificial intelligence a few years later to become the industry leader.
The reason why she was willing to invest in Senior Brother Luo's team was not only because the team did have outstanding capabilities, but more importantly, it was Shen Ci's compensation to them.
Because according to the results of the last time, the members of this team all had a good future after joining the Li Group, but this time this future was changed because of me.
Then she is willing to nurture and water this team on behalf of the Li family. She believes that gold will shine wherever it is.
"My brother asked me for your WeChat."
Gu Lianxing suddenly rolled her eyes and turned her phone screen in front of Shen Ci to show her.
In a very simple and crude way, Gu Yunzhou directly transferred "20" yuan to Gu Lianxing, and then sent a message saying "Good sister, send me Chen Ci's WeChat."
Chen Ci couldn't help but chuckle, and said nonchalantly: "My WeChat is quite valuable, I'll just give it to him after I take the money, it's 20 yuan!"
"Tsk." Gu Lianxing curled her lips and returned it directly, saying harshly, "I won't send you into the tiger's mouth."
"After all, he is your cousin, why do you look down on him so much?"
"That's right." Gu Lianxing nodded without hesitation. "He only likes pretty girls. He'll chase after any pretty girl, but he gets tired of her after a while. He'll break up with the obedient ones and spend money on the disobedient ones. He's such a jerk and superficial!"
"I will never let him take advantage of you. Really, he's nowhere near as good as Li Xiao."
When Li Xiao was suddenly mentioned, Gu Lianxing quickly reacted: "Uncle Li came yesterday. Did Li Xiao come? Did you meet him?"
Shen Ci shook her head: "I met his parents, he didn't come."
It has been almost half a month since she last saw Li Xiao in the school cafeteria. She deleted all of Li Xiao's contact information, and it was a rare quiet time these days.
And during this period, Li Xiao's condition was very bad.
Chen Ci's donation of an astronomical telescope worth more than 1,000 yuan to the school had a great impact on him and shocked him, even making him doubt his life.
He couldn't figure this out, and it made him feel that he couldn't see through Chen Ci even more.
In the evening, at the Li family.
There was a sumptuous dinner on the table. Li Xiao ate with a dejected and numb look on his face. He had lost weight and looked sick.
Li's mother looked very distressed, but she couldn't bear to blame him. She just served him some matsutake soup and said, "Drink more, Xiaozai. You've lost weight recently."
Li Xiao picked up the soup and drank it all in one gulp, then stood up and went upstairs without saying a word.
Li Wanchang was furious when he saw his son in this state. He put down his chopsticks with a bang and said angrily, "What a disgrace! If he keeps up this way, I'll really send him abroad!"
"How dare you!" Li's mother said anxiously, "I only have this one son, and he is not allowed to go anywhere."
Li Wanchang snorted coldly and said, "For Chen Ci, he's been like a walking corpse all day. If we don't let him get away from his surroundings, are we going to let him go on like this?"
"You can't just send Xiaozi away! Can't you use some tricks for your son and get Chen Ci to leave Longcheng?"
"What means? Kidnapping? Coercion? Intimidation?"
Li's mother's eyes turned red with anxiety: "Is it not possible?"
Li Wanchang was so angry that he laughed. He looked at his wife and shook his head speechlessly: "You, what can I say about you!?"
"Anyway, for my son, I can do anything."
"I'll hand you a knife, go and kill Shen Ci!" Li Wanchang said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Li's mother said aggrievedly, "You only know how to bully me. Then why don't you think of a solution? It's been almost half a month, and luckily Xiaozi still knows how to eat. If he had lost his appetite, he would probably be dead by now!"
Li Wanchang took a deep breath. "This is all your fault. Xiaozai and that Chen Ci had just been together for a short time when you broke them up. They were in the passionate stage of love, so you just let him date. Isn't it normal for a man to have a few girlfriends in college? You didn't say you were going to marry him, so why are you reacting so strongly?"
"Now it's okay. It's a cliff-like breakup. Xiaozi is stressed out. Do you know how anxious he is?"
Li's mother now feels a little regretful. If she had known that her son would become like this after the breakup, she would definitely not have done that.
Seeing his wife silent, Li Wanchang couldn't bear to blame her anymore. After thinking for a while, he said, "The person who tied the bell must untie it. In my opinion, you should go talk to Shen Ci again, apologize to her, and tell her that you agree to let her and Xiaozi continue to date."
There will be more updates later, thank you all for your votes.
