Chapter 71 Chapter 71 He is really an irredeemable villain...
"It's so annoying. So many bad things happen every day."
"That's right. They want us to supervise the work of finding an internet celebrity to collaborate with. We are from the head office after all. What do they think of us?"
Xia Chun was changing into clothes for a magazine shoot in his room. Through the door, he heard the muffled discussion outside.
He was the contact person sent by the brand for this cooperation. Xia Chun didn't react when he heard that he was one of the people they were dissatisfied with. He had already changed his clothes, but he was not in a hurry to go out.
When working, it is enough for both parties to be harmonious on the surface and avoid any obstacles. Why should they expect others to be consistent in what they say and think, especially since it has not come to his face?
Because there were other people using the studio and there was no space in the dressing room, he just found a utility room.
Leave some room so that we can meet again in the future.
"They just didn't take us seriously. They thought we had no say in the head office and had no connections, so we were assigned here."
The voices outside were silent for a while, and it was obvious that this sentence was a bit heartbreaking.
What can touch people's hearts is mostly the truth.
"We had been talking about building an affordable luxury brand, but the board of directors disagreed. I thought the plan was going to fail, but it turned out to be successful. If I had known this, I should have managed the relationship earlier. Who knows how much impact this new company will have."
"Whatever Mr. Gu wants to do, there is no way it will not succeed. This project has not even been approved by the board of directors, but the second young master of the Gu family is already looking for someone to improve the plan."
"I remember the eldest son of the Gu family also did it. The board of directors and senior executives were present at the time. I heard that what the eldest son did was super shocking, with both visual and auditory impact. The scene was completely silent and everyone was stunned."
"Is he so powerful? Then why was the second young master the one who finally participated in the subsidiary's affairs?"
"It's rotten! It's rotten to a certain extent, but I don't know the details. I just heard from others that the executives who came out at the time were all stunned."
"When you put it that way, I'm a little curious. What kind of rotten method is it? But this young master seems to have always been in favor of that."
"Isn't it? It is said that he even called those directors old men in public. In terms of seniority, they are all his elders. This parenting is really not good."
"But the second young master is very gentle and well-educated, which shows that it is not Mr. Gu's problem."
After all, they still have to work in the Gu Group. Even if there is no one around, they dare not say bad things about their immediate superiors.
"The eldest young master has a really weird temper. I heard that he never socializes at banquets and often slips away halfway through. He also looks gloomy and makes me feel creepy when I look him in the eye."
"I heard that the eldest young master's mother also caused a lot of trouble back then. She was very troublesome and made the family restless. What kind of mother is, what kind of child is born."
"It's more than just a hassle. It seems like he attempted suicide several times. Mr. Gu was in a meeting several times, but when he heard the news, he ran back without caring about anything else, which made the board of directors very unhappy."
"There is such a thing? Why does Mr. Gu care so much? Isn't this his sister-in-law? Even if he is helping to take care of his deceased brother, this is too much. He treats her like his own wife..."
As if realizing that he had discovered some shocking secret, one of them couldn't help but hiss.
"Don't talk nonsense outside. I also heard it from others. In the end, the woman really died, and Mr. Gu kept the young master by his side."
"What kind of mental illness is this? No wonder the young master has such a perverted temper. Don't let him end up with the same fate as me..."
The door slammed open.
Xia Chun looked at them indifferently.
The two gossipers were shocked. They didn't expect that there was someone in such a storage room, and it was the internet celebrity they mentioned.
"Is it fun to gossip about others behind their backs?" Xia Chun asked calmly.
Being questioned by such a little kid who was a dozen years younger than them, both of them felt a little embarrassed. They didn't want to make things too ugly, so they looked at each other and tried to laugh it off and talk things over.
But he didn't expect the other party to still insist on it. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at them with a bit of disgust that he couldn't hide: "You really have a good vision to define children by their parents' behavior."
One of them couldn't help but get angry, but the other one held him back and winked at him.
The staff member in charge of following the progress came in and saw that Xia Chun was almost ready, so he came over to take him away.
The dispute finally came to an end.
After Xia Chun left, the man complained, "Why did you stop me? That little brat is so arrogant. We are obviously the party A, why should we put up with her?"
"Don't you know? That girl is studying at Guanli Middle School. Maybe she knows the young master, so she jumped out when she heard us talking about this."
"Studying at Guanli Middle School? Is this how all internet celebrities make money now?"
"Who knows, maybe she has some other skills. Humph, she has a lot of things to do. Originally, the shoot was supposed to be in the water, but she said it was inconvenient, so in the end it was changed to splashing water on her hair."
"What if he knows the young master and tells us about what we said?"
Although the eldest young master basically does not interfere in the company's affairs now, he seems to be quite favored by Gu Yuhui. Both of them can't help but feel uneasy and hate themselves for not being able to control their mouths. They will have to live in fear for a long time.
Under the guidance of the staff, Xia Chun walked towards the shooting location step by step.
There was a nameless fire in his heart now, and the fire was burning more and more fiercely, almost breaking through his shell and flowing out.
All the camera positions at the shooting location are ready.
He took a deep breath and, under the photographer's guidance, poured the bottle of ice-cold water directly over his head.
The water continued to flow down his cheeks and finally slowly fell to the ground.
Gulu——
The feeling of being completely submerged in the water is magical.
As the water surface swallowed over the top of his head, liquid was constantly pressed into his cochlea. All sounds seemed to be transmitted through a thin film, delayed and weakened. His fingers instinctively wanted to move, but he could not catch anything. The water slipped through his fingers, and his chest became heavier and heavier.
If it was in the ocean, it would definitely be even more uncomfortable.
Without anything to support him, he could only keep falling. The light from the sea surface would leave him, and the icy cold water would cover every inch of his skin.
At the deepest bottom of the sea, it was so dark that the sunlight could not penetrate. It was a place completely different from the world he knew.
And if you soak in the water for too long, your body will seem to become swollen and pale, and look very ugly.
That's a terrible way to die.
Gu Yang floated up from the bathtub, wiped his wet hair, then leaned his head back on the edge of the bathtub, staring at the ceiling in a trance.
He doesn't like humid environments and gets particularly depressed during the rainy season.
So if he was destined to die, he hoped it would be a sunny day.
Just like that day.
The sky is so bright that it looks like it was painted with crayons, the freshly mowed grass exudes a unique plant scent, and the sun is so warm that you can feel the touch of a bird's feathers passing by when you run.
It was truly the best weather ever, so good that he wished he had never experienced it.
He stood there silently. He had obviously tried his best to run to her side, but he was so cowardly that he didn't even dare to take a step forward.
He just stared blankly at Gu Yuhui holding the woman in his arms, his face paler than ever before.
Do you really, really like it? Is that why he has such a desperate expression?
But since you already like him, why are there always other women around him?
Shouldn't true love mean that both body and soul belong to only one person?
He didn't understand this feeling, nor did he understand why he was still thinking about these unimportant things.
Neither the private doctor nor the ambulance had arrived yet, but the woman looked to be at the end of her rope and there was no hope of recovery.
There was no color on that beautiful face, and her expression was extremely weak due to the severe pain. It seemed that at this moment, she finally remembered that she still had a child left in this world. She reached out her trembling hand and grabbed him.
His consciousness is no longer clear, and his speech order is starting to get mixed up. I tell him to eat well, grow up well, travel to many countries, experience different customs and cultures, and have an unforgettable love affair.
She kept talking, and gave her last breath to her child.
Suddenly, an expression of extreme pain came across her face, and in the pain that was so intense that it was enough to bury herself, she even revealed a bit of regret and unwillingness.
"I really want to see what you'll look like when you grow up."
It seemed that after experiencing death itself, she finally understood the preciousness of life.
After the sudden outburst of emotion, the hand dropped limply.
He raised his hand carefully and buried his face in the other's cold palm.
Gu Yuhui was still crying and asking, "What about me, sister-in-law?"
The woman's expression, which was about to return to nothingness, showed a bit of choking. She didn't want to look at the man in front of her, but still struggled to speak with her last breath.
"Take good care of Xiaoyang for me."
After saying this, the woman couldn't say anything else.
The ambulance arrived and carried the lifeless woman onto a stretcher. The hand he was holding slipped away mercilessly. No one paid any attention to him at this moment.
He silently placed his hand on the photo he always carried with him.
He is really an irredeemable bad boy.
The secret was kept secret until her death and no one ever knew it.
There was a soft knock on the door.
Seeing that more than half an hour had passed, the servant was afraid that his young master was in there and couldn't help but ask a question.
Gu Yang hummed perfunctorily to show that he was still alive.
Before he took a bath, he threw a bath ball into the bathtub. He bought it casually while shopping. It was called Van Gogh's Starry Sky. After it dissolved in the water, it was filled with glitter that looked like a dreamy starry sky pattern.
He straightened up with difficulty, revealing his thin and pale shoulders, which were set off by the floating colors, depicting the subtle texture of his skin. Drops of water kept dripping down his hair onto his body and quickly disappeared.
Those tiny pieces of glitter not only remained on his body, but also stuck to his face and hair. Gu Yang looked at his face in the mirror, drained the water and took a shower, then walked out wrapped in a bathrobe. He looked at the people outside with an expressionless face.
The servant who was anxiously circling the door saw the young master coming out, rubbed his hands and laughed awkwardly: "Young master, Brin has been waiting for you here for a long time. Am I not worried about him?"
The beautiful, shiny and long-haired rag doll was now curled up in his chair, swinging his extremely thick and fluffy tail and looking at his owner with innocent eyes.
Gu Yang walked forward and held the cat in his arms.
The servant quietly retreated.
Brin is a very quiet cat by nature, the kind of well-behaved cat that can sit on a person's lap for hours. Gu Yang just sat on the chair holding the cat, stroking it from time to time, his mind still empty.
Until someone knocked on the door outside.
The person who walked in was Xiao Huang.
She comes regularly to take the cat back to its kennel to rest.
It's just that she has other things to say today.
After hesitating for a long time, she spoke shyly.
"Master, I may not be here next week."
Gu Yang looked at her with some confusion.
Xiao Huang coughed lightly and tried to speak calmly.
"That's right. I'm on shore."
"The place I was accepted to is right in my hometown, so I'm going to quit my job soon."
Although this job was amazing, she couldn't keep doing it forever, so she prepared for the exam during her free time and finally got the job.
She looked at the cat that jumped out of the young master's arms, walked to her side, and lay down with a plop. She did not respond with a heartbroken look on her face.
Goodbye, my awesome job, goodbye, my plump cat, goodbye, my pleasing young master.
Gu Yang silently watched the cat slip away from his arms.
He got down from his seat, squatted slowly, put his knees on the soft carpet, lowered his eyes, and gently stroked the cat on the ground with his fingers.
Xiao Huang felt sad for herself, and she wished the time could be longer.
"Do you like Brin?" Gu Yang asked softly.
"Of course I like it. I wanted to have a cat when I was in school, but unfortunately I didn't have the conditions." Xiao Huang nodded vigorously.
There was another long silence.
"Then you can take it with you."
Xiao Huang suspected that she had misheard, and asked uncertainly: "What did you just say?"
Gu Yang picked up the cat and felt the warmth in his arms. Beneath the furry touch were skin and bones. If he held it too tightly, it would make unhappy noises.
All these clearly told him that this was a living being.
He didn't know how to treat a life, let alone how to face the death of a pet.
Since there are people who love it more, let it go.
His eyes became unusually gentle. Xiao Huang had never seen the young master look at other humans in the house so gently. He raised his head and handed the cat to him.
"I'm too lazy to find a babysitter for him. If you like him, take him home."
This was simply a pie in the sky. The thing Xiao Huang missed the most after she resigned was this cat. She nodded hurriedly, took Brin from Gu Yang, used all her vocabulary to speak eloquently about the young master, and then happily carried the cat away.
Just as she turned downstairs, her cell phone vibrated.
She clicked on it and found a transfer record of 100,000 yuan, signed by Gu Yang.
Note: Dowry for Brin.
