Chapter 112
"--How is my son now?" Mr. Gu rushed to the scene as soon as he received the call. Without even stopping the car, he opened the door and ran all the way to the scene.
The pale-faced counselor also came over. Seeing Mr. Gu's anxious look, he first wailed in his heart about how miserable his life was, but he still spoke seriously to Mr. Gu about the current situation.
"Mr. Gu, please listen to me first. We called the fire department and the police immediately and notified the college leaders. All the college leaders are now guarding the construction site, and the site manager is also guarding it. Please rest assured that they will definitely come up with a solution."
The instructor said seriously that he immediately informed Mr. Gu of all the measures that had been taken, which made Mr. Gu calm down temporarily.
"...Do they need any equipment? I'll call the company and have them look for it. Do they need a ladder or something? And what's wrong with the site manager? Why did they let them in, even onto the rooftop? Isn't there anyone guarding it?"
Mr. Gu strode towards the college leaders and spoke to the counselor beside him.
When the instructor said this, his expression was a little strange, but unfortunately Mr. Gu didn't notice it.
But he soon found out why his son and his boyfriend were able to get on the rooftop of the construction site.
"...Boss Gu! I never thought the young master wanted the key to the construction site and wasn't here to inspect it!"
Mr. Gu looked expressionlessly at the construction site manager, who looked so familiar that he was almost crying. He then raised his head and looked at the construction site in front of him - and the slogan of the Gu Group clearly written on the construction site.
I found out it was Mr. Gu from my own construction site: "..."
"——Gu! Yan!" After a long time, Mr. Gu squeezed out two words from between his teeth, then picked up the broomstick beside him and rushed to the construction site to beat someone.
Fortunately, the college leaders and several other responsible persons were strong enough to hold Mr. Gu back and prevent him from rushing to the construction site.
The firefighters standing by originally wondered why the father didn't persuade his son but listened to him instead. However, after learning the truth, his frown turned into sympathy.
The real estate industry was already in a downturn this year, and their own ancestor was planning to sacrifice himself to provide welfare to the residents of City A. If their children were alive when they came down, they would have been sent to the ICU.
"...Speaking of which, Captain, this should be a literal case of the prince jumping off a building at a huge discount."
A firefighter whispered to his captain, and his serious and formal captain slapped his fire helmet.
"The family is still here, don't make such jokes."
But when I turned around, I almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
The instructor who happened to be standing next to them: "..."
Help, don’t laugh, think about your bonus, think about your salary, think about your title!
The instructor managed to suppress his smile, and Mr. Gu calmed down temporarily, ready to start understanding the whole story.
——Then Mr. Gu heard that his son and his boyfriend went to the rooftop because of the issue of co-authorship of the paper.
After listening to this, Mr. Gu was silent for a long time before he finally said something that only a father could say.
"—Are they both crazy? Others list each other as co-first authors because their papers are valuable. But what value do their papers have? How can engraving your name on gold compare to engraving it on scrap metal?"
Mr. Gu asked sincerely and doubtfully.
Although the school leaders present also thought that what Mr. Gu said was right, they really couldn't say it and could only smile awkwardly.
Fortunately, Mr. Gu did not dwell on this issue for too long, but instead asked about the unlucky student who became the fuse of the quarrel.
In Mr. Gu's opinion, this student was really unlucky. He had finally written the paper, and just to thank someone for their technical assistance, he listed the other person as a co-author. As a result, he became the cause of a quarrel with his stupid son.
What did they do to offend anyone?
According to common sense, as a father, he should stand on the side of his son, but to be honest, Mr. Gu really didn't have this idea this time. After all, it was obvious that the other party had suffered an unexpected disaster.
After seeing who that person was, Mr. Gu felt even more guilty. That was Ye Wangxing, who had just given electronic watches to his brother-in-law and nephew, and the Ye family had helped him a lot when he was a child.
Ye Wangxing also took a lot of risks in legal terms, but his own son just used someone else's paper as a tool for quarreling?
Mr. Gu looked at Gu Yan and Mu Bai who were still arguing on the rooftop, and he wanted to fly up and pull the brat down, beat him up and make him apologize.
But that’s not possible now. We have to pay attention to calming Gu Yan’s emotions, so that they don’t really jump off the building while arguing. After all, they have a history of jumping into the lake before.
——Then Mr. Gu’s anger, which had just subsided, suddenly flared up again.
However, he still wanted to suppress his anger and start a conversation with Ye Wangxing.
"...Xiao Ye, don't worry. Your Uncle Gu knows this and he definitely won't blame you. It's all that brat Gu Yan's fault. When he comes down, Uncle Gu will have him apologize to you."
Mr. Gu said to the handsome young man in front of him, but the young man did not say anything, but frowned and said worriedly.
"Uncle Gu, there's no need to apologize. It's normal for young couples to quarrel, but they can't come to such a dangerous place. The most important thing now is to rescue them. I don't know when they will stop quarreling. It's really heartbreaking to see them."
The handsome young man frowned and spoke worriedly, looking like an honest child.
Mr. Gu felt warm in his heart after hearing this, and then his expression when he looked at Gu Yan was a little cruel.
This scene made Li Qing and Lao Er look at each other at the same time and let out an "Oh wow" sound.
"The third child just prayed that he didn't die from the fall this time, or that the fall wasn't too gentle. If he could get down from the rooftop unharmed, his father wouldn't let him off easily this time."
Li Qing whispered to the second brother beside him.
"Or just announce on the spot that he's been admitted to Tsinghua University as a graduate student. Otherwise, he'll definitely be eating the broomstick when he gets home this time. But then again, what was he thinking? It's fine if he's arguing with Mu Bai, but why did he end up arguing on the rooftop?"
The second brother said with a puzzled look on his face.
He rushed to the scene after hearing the notice from the counselor, and then he found that the scene was crowded with people. On one side were other students who were driven away by the counselor and school leaders, and on the other side were firefighters.
He was still confused about the situation. When he looked up, he found that Gu Yan and Mu Bai, his two living fathers, were standing on the rooftop again. When he turned around, Gu Yan's father was there too.
"It's all because of the paper that the fourth brother wrote. Mu Bai and Gu Yan wanted to co-author it, but Gu Yan said that although he's only a freshman now, he already has a premonition of what kind of crap he'll write in the future. Then Mu Bai refused, and the two of them started arguing over who loves the other more. In the end..."
Li Qing looked up at the rooftop and pouted.
"I just wanted to use this method to prove that I love the other person more."
The second brother: "...are you crazy?"
"Who says they aren't? The firefighters were called, the school leaders came, and even their family members came, but they couldn't be persuaded to calm down. As soon as someone approached, they both walked out in unison. When someone said they were persuaded to calm down, they started arguing again and just wouldn't listen."
Li Qing sighed and said.
"By the way, Gu Yan's family has arrived, but what about Mu Bai's? Who knows if Mu Bai's family's advice will be effective, after all, it was Mu Bai who caused this incident."
The second brother said this with some confusion, but before Li Qing could answer, he saw a car approaching the construction site at a high speed in the distance, and finally stopped in an open space on the construction site.
After seeing the license plate number of the car, the instructor hurried over. The second brother guessed that this might be Mu Bai's family member. Sure enough, one of the two people who got off had eyebrows and eyes very similar to Mu Bai, but he looked a little silly.
And the other tall young man with a teardrop mole under his eye...
"Wow, isn't that the XGames slopestyle champion? A seriously impressive guy! I heard he was called up to the national team. I didn't expect to see him here."
The second brother said in shock.
"It seems this guy is a teammate of Mu Bai's brother. They're both wearing their team uniforms. Oh my god, I didn't expect Mu Bai to have such a connection. You said that after Mu Bai is safe and this matter is settled, can we ask for their autographs?"
Li Qing said in a low voice.
However, their whispering here did not attract the attention of others. After seeing Mu Bai's family members coming, most people were wondering if they could ask him to persuade Mu Bai.
After learning about the situation, the family member actually went there with a loudspeaker.
Unfortunately, Mu Bai was still arguing with Gu Yan and ignored him.
This made Mr. Gu look disappointed.
Before he could think of a solution, another car came. Mr. Gu turned around and found that his brother-in-law rushed out of the car in a hurry.
"What happened to Gu Yan? Why did he suddenly want to jump off the building?"
Pei Yi said with a frown.
Mr. Gu knew that it was probably his wife who sent a message to Pei Yi asking him to come and see the scene. After all, Ms. Pei was out of town preparing for her solo concert and could not make it for a while.
So Mr. Gu didn't hesitate much and directly told the whole story.
"...So this matter also involves Ye Wangxing?"
Pei Yi said with a frown, and Mr. Gu nodded helplessly.
He was just about to tell Ye Wangxing that the person who sat in the same seat with him was actually Pei Shi, but before he could open his mouth, Pei Yi hurried towards Ye Wangxing, apparently to comfort him. Mr. Gu had no choice but to pretend not to know.
After all, Pei Yi really can't help with his son's matter.
——This brat doesn’t even listen to his own parents, so how can he listen to Pei Yi?
Mr. Gu was thinking this, but before he turned around and continued staring at his son worriedly, he saw another figure hurriedly walking towards Ye Wangxing.
And his brother-in-law just happened to bump into that man in front of Ye Wangxing.
The two men, who were equally tall, but one was more elite and the other more athletic, immediately frowned and looked at each other.
The next second, they both said in unison.
"Who are you?"
In the open space, three men were standing there. Many students around them looked up at the young couple quarreling on the rooftop, while secretly glancing at the three men who were standing in a very tense position.
——After all, the tension between them was about to burst out from the conversation.
Only Ye Wangxing was still foolishly introducing them.
"...This is Pei Yi, the president of the Pei Group. He was my fiancé when I was a child. It was just a joke between adults, but Brother Pei is a very kind person and has helped me a lot."
Ye Wangxing spoke seriously to the tall young man with a dark face, then turned to look at the man who was smiling but always gave people a creepy feeling.
"Brother Pei, this is Xie Yihan, my childhood friend. He's quite accomplished now and is a member of the national team."
Ye Wangxing introduced himself with a slightly proud smile on his face, which made Xie Yihan beside him raise his chin involuntarily, feeling a little proud.
However, the smug look on his face made Pei Yi frown - especially when Xie Yihan subconsciously put his arm around Ye Wangxing's shoulders.
However, Pei Yi would not go up and make a fuss. He would just look at Ye Wangxing with a smile and then speak directly.
"...Oh, am I thinking of that little follower who always clung to you when you were little? He seemed to have a runny nose back then. Wangxing, you must have hated him."
The man with golden eyes said with a smile, his expression like a mature man teasing a childish child, directly belittling the other party and elevating himself.
The effect was quite significant. Xie Yihan almost rushed up to hit the man in front of him with gritted teeth, but then he thought about it and didn't do anything. He just hugged Ye Wangxing tighter.
He put his arms around Ye Wangxing's shoulders, holding Ye Wangxing in his arms from behind, and his head rested on Ye Wangxing's neck.
Then he looked up at Pei Yi opposite him with an innocent look and said to Ye Wangxing.
"Wangxing, is this uncle your fiancé that your family forced upon you? He looks quite mature."
Before Ye Wangxing could answer, Xie Yihan raised his head and looked at Pei Yi, smiling and said, "Hello Uncle Pei, you can just call me Xiao Xie. Given my relationship with Wangxing, don't treat me as an outsider."
Pei Yi's forehead veins immediately popped up, but fortunately he turned around with a gentle look and spoke to Ye Wangxing with a wry smile.
"Wang Xing, it seems I really need to get some plastic surgery. I'm not even 30 yet, and people your age already call me uncle."
Pei Yi sighed as he spoke.
Ye Wangxing couldn't help but want to go forward to comfort him, and Xie Yihan, who was holding him, was the first to notice Ye Wangxing's thoughts.
He quickly hugged Ye Wangxing in his arms and said with a smile.
"Hey Uncle Pei, this is a sign of respect for your generation. After all, Wang Xing is your junior, so I have to address him according to his generation."
The man with golden eyes seemed relieved, as if it didn't matter anymore since the misunderstanding was resolved.
"That's good. I thought I looked too old. But actually, we can also follow Ye Wangxing's marriage relationship, right?"
The golden-eyed man said with a smile.
"——After all, he and I are the fiancés whose parents have been met."
The blond man's words made the smile on Xie Yihan's face disappear for a moment, and his face became expressionless and his eyes were extremely cold, but the next second Xie Yihan put on the mask again and said with a smile.
"Uncle Pei, you're such a jokester. Wang Xing told me a long time ago that it was just a temporary measure taken by the parents. When Uncle Pei said you inherited the group, the relationship would automatically be dissolved—although it seems like it's dissolved now."
The tall young man with a teardrop mole on his face looked down at the handsome young man who had been trying to speak but was always interrupted.
Xie Yihan looked at Ye Wangxing with an apologetic look and said.
"When I was a kid, I went to play at Wangxing's house and accidentally burned the engagement letter."
Xie Yihan looked at the man with golden eyes with an apologetic expression and a provocative look, and said, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
"Uncle Pei, you won't be angry, right?"
After Xie Yihan said this, the others present were afraid that Pei Yi would fight with this person. Fortunately, Pei Yi's Qi cultivation skills were very good and he didn't make a scene on the spot. Instead, there was another burst of lightning.
Ye Wangxing looked at the two people who were about to fight, his mouth opening and closing, not knowing what to say for a moment.
At this time, the few people who were close by could no longer sit still.
Mr. Gu looked at Xie Yihan in shock, and he remembered why he felt that the name sounded familiar.
——Why does this name sound so similar to the remaining legal person in Ye Wangxing’s company!
Li Qing and Lao Er were shocked as to how another person could appear.
The instructor's shock was relatively simple.
——What fiancé, what childhood sweetheart? Is Ye Wangxing’s emotional experience so horrible???
and……
The instructor looked at the watches dangling on the two men's hands and felt that the watch looked familiar - it seemed to be the design drawing included in the paper that Ye Wangxing had submitted to him before.
Could it be that...
The instructor looked at the two people with a strange look in his eyes.
——That positioning device actually has an audience! And these two are truly talented young people!
The two of them seemed to have no idea what the instructor was thinking, and they were still talking to each other in a tit-for-tat manner, but the smell of gunpowder in the air was getting stronger and stronger.
Apart from Mr. Gu, the rest of the people didn't even want to pay attention to Gu Yan and Mu Bai on the rooftop. They were just arguing about the same old things. It seemed that their lives were not in danger before they finished arguing.
Moreover, these two people didn't even use a single curse word when they spoke, but it made people feel that their words were much more offensive than loud quarrels and curses.
The instructor felt as if he had entered a world of palace fighting.
One was Concubine Xie, who said, "We grew up together as childhood sweethearts. When I asked you to marry me when we were little, you even agreed. Where did this old man come from? How dare he act so rashly in front of me?"
The other was Empress Pei, who said, "You and I have already met each other's parents and exchanged engagement letters. Now you've given me a watch and even shares in your company. I've already started looking at wedding rings. What's this little brat trying to act so arrogantly in front of me?"
But the next second the instructor suddenly realized something and looked up at the three people in front of him.
"—Company shares? Are you talking about the shares in the company Wangxing established based on the watch he gave me?"
Xie Yihan said this with a smile, raised the watch on his hand, and was about to happily announce that this was his victory.
——But he found that the golden-eyed man opposite him also raised his wrist with a grim expression.
A watch about the same size as Xie Yihan's suddenly appeared on the man's wrist.
Xie Yihan: "..."
Xie Yihan slowly lowered his head and looked at Ye Wangxing in his arms, who looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Wang Xing...you even have wholesale for this gift?"
As Xie Yihan said this, Pei Yi on the side also narrowed his golden eyes, and stared at Ye Wangxing with the eyes of a large cat looking at prey.
The counselor, who had already realized something, looked at Ye Wangxing, who was flanked by men, and slowly lit a candle for his student.
But then the instructor realized that the candle had a white spot.
——Because with the skills of this student of his, he only needed to make a slight move to quell the war.
"...I did give the company's shares to other people. One was to a senior whom I met before. He was mainly responsible for product sales. Then I gave Pei Shi some as well. After all, I learned the technology from him, although I added some of my own improvements."
The handsome young man looked a little embarrassed and said.
The next second he took the hands of the two people who were staring at him and spoke seriously.
"But you two are different. Yihan, I've already placed my bets on you, waiting for you to win the gold medal so I can ride on your popularity."
As he spoke, ignoring Xie Yihan's already flushed cheeks, he turned his head to the man with golden eyes and spoke.
"Brother Pei, you're the company's biggest financial backer. With you, some of these minor problems could have been avoided."
Seeing the handsome young man's serious expression, the anger of the two people who were a little angry just now seemed to calm down immediately.
Then the young man said with a depressed look on his face, "Did I force it..."
The two of them immediately gave up their previous anger and began to coax Ye Wangxing one after another. Ye Wangxing also successfully put away his lost expression and began to become happy, but his happiness did not last long.
Soon, he looked at the two people in front of him who were competing for who had made the greatest contribution to the company and began to feel a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, Mu Yun, who had been persuading Mu Bai for a long time until his voice was hoarse, came over and wanted to drink some water and take a break.
As he walked over, he complained to his teammates without even looking at them.
"...I don't know how Mu Bai knew that his brain was like a knot, but they were just co-authors of a paper. Does writing about it together mean they're lovers?"
Mu Yun complained bluntly, he felt like he was about to explode with anger.
"How unlucky the author of the paper is! It's normal for them to write their own teacher as a co-first author. They also said at the end of the paper that this is the teacher who provided technical guidance. Hey, Mu Bai just can't see it, and has to stare at the names of Ye Wangxing and Pei Shi on the co-first authors and get angry—"
"——What did you say?!" X2
Before Mu Yun put down his hands, he heard two shocked voices.
He was so scared that he threw the bottle of water in his hand away.
The next second he saw two men staring at him, including his good teammate.
Mu Yun: — Is it against the law for me to drink water while walking?
Mr. Gu, who was in the distance, looked at his brother-in-law and sighed.
"This development is comparable to a palace drama."
