Chapter 144
The butler, feeling relieved, came to the Lu family with a calm face. After all, the banquet was coming to an end, and they, the butlers, had to be on standby at all times.
However, what the housekeeper didn't expect was that Mr. Lu was actually praising Mr. Ye.
The housekeeper only knew that Mr. Ye was Ye Wangxing and had no idea of his previous identity.
So when Mr. Lu and his old friend talked about Mr. Ye, the butler was a little surprised.
"...I'm saying the Gu family wasn't being very honest this time. Their former executive was forced to marry their son, and then they kicked her out just because she was blind. That's a bit too petty."
A certain director suddenly spoke up with a regretful tone.
Lu Jiu and Lu Yi beside them showed curious expressions at the right time, which made the housekeeper widen his eyes slightly.
Yes, he really didn't know that Mr. Ye had been the CEO of the Gu family. He even thought that Mr. Ye was an unfavored child in the family.
——But what are you two so surprised about? I don't believe you don't know Mr. Ye's past!
While the housekeeper was shocked, Director Lu, seeing how curious his two sons were, kindly said, "The CEO before your Uncle Gu wasn't his cousin, a very handsome young man."
Director Lu turned to look at Mrs. Lu beside him and said, "Remember the Gu Corporation acquisition three years ago? At that time, all shareholders were clamoring to sell at a high price, but he was the only one who resisted the pressure and persuaded the board of directors, and in the end, they managed to raise the valuation by 12%."
Mrs. Lu gently stroked her pearl earrings with her fingertips and recalled, "I saw this once at a celebration banquet. A very beautiful child, standing next to Director Gu, who remembered every toast-giver's background information perfectly. At the time, I thought such a meticulous young person seemed like someone who had been trained by our Lu family."
Director Lu raised his wine glass and said, "I wanted him to become a member of our Lu family, but unfortunately, he was stabbed in the back by the Gu family and has been nowhere to be found. It seems that only the kid from the Pan family knows where he is, but he is loyal and refuses to tell anyone. However, it can be seen that he was really hurt by the Gu family."
The previous director also agreed deeply, saying, "The Gu family's actions are truly chilling. A lot of people have left their group recently, haven't they? After all, their most valuable employee has gone blind, so it's normal for you to let someone else take over their job. But to go straight through the resignation process without even offering condolences and even requiring them to use OA is truly heartless."
Another director, upon hearing this, remarked, "Old Gu hasn't changed his mindset yet. He's still stuck in the feudal idea of wanting to have an alpha. Seeing that the meal ticket he found for his youngest son is ruined, he's going to kick him out right away to make room for the omega daughter-in-law he's been dreaming of."
"Aside from being a beta, he's a thousand times better than that kid from the Gu family in every other way."
"So what Lao Gu did was disgraceful. Now the people below him see how the executives are treated. Add to that his nepotism, and you can't even count the number of people who've jumped ship recently, and they're all senior executives."
"How do you know so much?" Director Lu was a little puzzled, but then he revealed a look of understanding. "You're recruiting me to pave the way for this guy. I plan to enter the medical field, and talent in this field is not easy to find."
Director Lu smiled and spoke to the board of directors, finalizing the decision to poach employees from the Gu family in a few words. Turning to his son's still curious expression, Director Lu specifically warned them, "Don't follow the Gu family's lead, focusing solely on the immediate gains and forgetting who brought them these profits. In business, reputation may not be important at times, but it is paramount in critical moments."
Seeing his two sons nodding earnestly, Director Lu nodded with great satisfaction. He turned to the director beside him and said, "So the Gu family has bad judgment. They were so lucky to have picked up Ye Wangxing, and even sent their son to marry him. They tied him to their company for life, but in the end, they kicked him out just because he was blind."
Director Lu said with some regret, "If this happened in our company, even if he lost his ability to work, he could still set an example for others and lead them to express condolences. By then, the company's cohesion would be enhanced. Wouldn't this be more effective than any amount of publicity?"
"Besides, a young man like him definitely doesn't want to be a parasite for the rest of his life. Plus, with today's advanced technology, who knows, he might actually be able to rely on equipment to process documents. The Gu family is really short-sighted."
As Mr. Lu spoke, even Mrs. Lu said with some regret, "This young man has met the wrong person. If he had come to Lu Corporation, his family would have collapsed due to the Gu family's merger three years ago. And to be treated like this is really disheartening."
She turned around and warned her two sons, whose lips had suddenly curled up for some unknown reason, "If you meet someone like this in the future, remember to treat them well. If necessary, use some trickery, like giving them some shares or talking about friendship. In short, you must keep them by your side. Don't make the same low-level mistake as the Gu family did."
Lu Jiu and Lu Yi both restrained their smiles and nodded seriously, their expressions even more serious than when they heard Mr. Lu's words just now.
This made Mr. Lu feel a little strange.
"Could it be that they haven't been home much lately, and their two sons are a little upset?" Mr. Lu was thinking, not noticing that the housekeeper behind them had lost control of his expression.
"...Madam, to some extent, the eldest and second young masters have inherited your ideas and really kept people here."
The butler looked calm, but he was screaming in his heart.
"——The very fact of impersonating someone else's husband is quite punishable."
However, the butler didn't think too long, as the banquet was over and the people present were about to leave.
The Lu family was naturally no exception, but there was a small incident. Lu Yi, under the pretext of wanting to be closer to the school, threw a tantrum and demanded to move into the villa bought by his brother.
Although Mrs. Lu didn't know when her son bought a house in that community, after consulting her eldest son, she nodded and agreed to let her younger son live with his brother.
However, after turning around, Mrs. Lu did not see the sword-fighting look in her two sons' eyes when they looked at each other.
Only the butler saw it.
But the butler simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.
"What on earth is this young master doing at the eldest young master's villa? It's so hard to guess~"
The housekeeper thought in a serious tone, but on the surface he still looked clueless. He even warned the young master: "There are guests in the villa who might run into you. They have special physical conditions and cannot be seen. I hope you won't take it too seriously."
The butler looked at the younger master's eyes that lit up instantly, and the older master's eyes that sharpened instantly, and immediately turned his head back, and signaled to Old Zhang beside him to quickly raise the soundproof glass.
Fortunately, this time the soundproof glass did not get stuck, but rose up normally, which also made the housekeeper breathe a sigh of relief.
The housekeeper has figured it out now. He pretends to be ignorant of all such gossip and just thinks of himself as deaf and blind. Old Zhang next to him thinks the same way.
If the truth comes out and the eldest young master finds out that it was leaked by them, then as the future heirs of the Lu family, they will definitely be in trouble.
——After all, no matter how ridiculous the eldest and young masters were, Mr. Lu couldn't possibly kill them.
Having figured this out, the butler and Old Zhang calmly escorted the two young masters back to the gate of the villa area.
However, the housekeeper was still a little worried. What if the truth about his eldest and young masters was discovered? Would it affect him?
——After all, this is simply walking on the edge of the law.
But if you think about it carefully, you will know that it is probably impossible.
After all, he was just a housekeeper who knew nothing. At most, he knew that Mr. Ye inside was the sweetheart of his eldest young master.
After adjusting his mindset, the housekeeper's anxiety suddenly disappeared and he became more calm.
After all, you may be fired if you file a complaint, and you may also be fired if you don't file a complaint. It's better to change your mindset and become a spectator, watching to see who will achieve success first between the eldest and young masters.
——Of course, if Mr. Ye shows any signs of being forced or deceived into engaging in intimate activities, he will call 110 at any time.
He's a law-abiding citizen after all.
but……
The butler glanced at the rearview mirror, looking at the soundproof glass that had finally been raised, and the two young masters behind the glass who were smiling but definitely at odds with each other.
"I don't know what their discussion is like."
The butler sighed and thought helplessly, then got out of the car, opened the back door, and motioned for the two young masters to get out.
The two brothers, who had similar faces and voices, got out of the car and stood at the door of the villa. They looked at each other and seemed to have reached a consensus.
"It all depends on your ability?"
"It all depends on your ability."
The housekeeper quietly lit a candle for Mr. Ye in the villa behind the two of them.
I hope Mr. Ye can bear it.
However, the housekeeper obviously did not expect that it was not Mr. Ye who was tortured during this month.
But him.
The words spoken by the eldest and youngest masters that day were full of vigor, and the words "each one depends on his own ability" were spoken with a flash of swords and sabers, but when they came to Mr. Ye...
Not to mention that they each rely on their own abilities, the two young masters even cooperated in front of Mr. Ye in order to conceal their identities!
The housekeeper had seen these two people coming out of Mr. Ye's room one after another, or entering Mr. Ye's room one after another more than once. If he had not confirmed that they just held hands and kissed at most, the housekeeper would have been ready to call the police.
In this situation, he not only had to pretend to be blind, but also pretend that he didn't know there were two people. He had to pay attention to the plural when answering Mr. Ye's questions - he even had to pretend that he didn't know that his young master's name was changed to Gu Tianci!
The housekeeper has been exhausted over the past month. If his bonus hadn't doubled compared to last month, he would have really quit.
Of course, Mr. Ye’s good service also contributed greatly.
Mr. Ye is truly the king of roll-ups who has reached the extreme of roll-ups. Even if he is blind, as long as he has his arms and legs intact, he would like to do everything by himself.
Even reading books now relies on scanning with smart glasses, which is no different from ordinary people.
In addition to these, there was another happy event in the past month.
——After more than a month of baptism, Mr. Ye was finally willing to make some requests to his young master!
Although they just asked him to go out for a walk, Mr. Ye was finally influenced by the young masters. This was news of great celebration for the housekeeper.
The housekeeper could clearly feel that Mr. Ye's attitude had softened, and the other two naturally would not misunderstand it, and agreed to it without hesitation.
He immediately gave the housekeeper a bonus of 10,000 yuan and asked him to accompany Mr. Ye for a walk every day. Naturally, the housekeeper did not object and even wished that Mr. Ye would go for a walk every day.
...But the place where we were walking today felt a little off.
The housekeeper followed Ye Wangxing and watched him walk out of the villa area, and then...
Arrived at the gate of a key high school.
I found out where this key high school is from:!!!
The next second, he took out his cell phone without hesitation and called his young master.
Shen Ning looked at the love letter in her hand, and her expression gradually turned red.
This was the ninth love letter he had received from Teacher Gu.
Teacher Gu's writing style has also changed from being quite immature at the beginning, although it shows literary talent, to being very effortless now. Even some of the allusions are unfamiliar to Shen Ning, but they seem strangely appropriate, which makes Shen Ning's admiration for Teacher Gu rise to a new level.
And the allusion that Teacher Gu used today made Shen Ning blush silently.
He hadn't expected Teacher Gu to be so bold as to hint at a relationship with him on the eve of the college entrance exam. He had originally thought the two would remain entangled in such an ambiguous relationship for a long time, after all, their feelings for each other were so long-lasting.
——The relationship lasted so long that Shen Ning didn't dare to reveal the fact that she really liked Teacher Gu.
But now that Teacher Gu is willing to send him this signal, it means that he actually has the same idea as himself, right?
As soon as this possibility appeared, Shen Ning became restless. Even the rare sleepiness he felt at noon disappeared.
He hurriedly left the classroom, carrying his homework book with the love letter from Teacher Gu tucked inside. He ignored the curious looks of his classmates and rushed straight to the teacher's office on the first floor.
When he arrived at the office, he was surprised to find that it seemed like God was helping him.
In the entire office, there was no other teacher except Teacher Gu, which made it the perfect time to express one's feelings. Just as Shen Ning was happily holding her homework book and walking forward to express her loyalty to her beloved Teacher Gu, she discovered that Teacher Gu was on the phone with a headache on her face.
"...Isn't it? Why did you call him over? The law should rule on this matter. What does it have to do with me? Stop it. I won't agree to it. Okay, stop it. My students are here."
When Gu Tianci saw Shen Ning standing at the door, he immediately hung up the call from his mother and then sighed deeply.
He really didn't understand why his mother was so determined to get back the money from Ye Wangxing.
Isn't it just 20 million? For a company of Gu's size, 20 million in working capital is a lot, but it's not enough to cause a major financial loss. Why can't they just cut them off completely? Why are they being so fussy about it?
Besides, this is how the prenuptial agreement was signed. It would be so embarrassing to go back on it.
She actually wanted him to go find Ye Wangxing, or let Ye Wangxing come to find him. Gu Tianci almost laughed out loud when he heard his mother say this.
How could Ye Wangxing find him? Ye Wangxing was blind, and not many people could contact him now. He had even tried to send a message to Ye Wangxing before, but the exclamation mark in front of the message proved that he had been blocked by Ye Wangxing a long time ago.
Gu Tianci didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, it was not unfair for Ye Wangxing to block him because of all the bad things he had done before.
But now his biological mother wants him to go and reconcile with Ye Wangxing, and Gu Tianci really can't do it.
Even when his mother threatened him to tell Ye Wangxing to find a school immediately, he didn't pay much attention. He knew immediately that his mother was bluffing, a trick she had used since elementary school.
So when Gu Tianci turned to look at Shen Ning, his expression became gentle and intellectual, like a cultured man, and there was even a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
But then he turned around and became confused, as if he didn't know why Shen Ning came here.
Although Shen Ning also felt a little strange, he still put the homework book with the love letter in his hand on Teacher Gu's desk. Then he mustered up the courage and said very seriously: "Teacher Gu, I know your feelings, I do!"
His voice was not loud, but it had a resounding effect in the empty office.
——Similarly, a blank expression appeared on the face of Gu Tianci in front of him.
Shen Ning thought that Teacher Gu was too happy to speak, so he repeated what he said once more. Gu Tianci was stunned for a long time before saying, "...What, what are you willing to do?"
He even stuttered.
Seeing the surprised look on Teacher Gu's face, Chen Ning suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly took out the love letter he had just received, opened it, pointed to four words and said, "Teacher Gu, didn't you write about the qin picking Wenjun in your love letter? Sima Xiangru played the phoenix to ask the phoenix to express his feelings to Zhuo Wenjun, and you wrote this allusion here, isn't it to express your feelings to me?"
Shen Ning looked surprised, while Gu Tianci lowered his head and carefully examined the words he wrote.
Then he discovered in despair that there seemed to be these four words, and they were written in an extremely lingering manner, so much so that he couldn't say it was a mistake.
Great, now comes the problem.
Gu Tianci looked at the four words with an extremely serious expression.
——How should he explain that only these four words were written by AI, and the rest were all written by him?
Yes, after Gu Tianci discovered that he and his friends around him had no such talent, he chose to seek help from modern technology. As expected, Shen Ning did not see it.
Gu Tianci also put the love letter written by Shen Ning into AI and asked AI to help interpret it. This is how Gu Tianci learned that some allusions did not have the literal meaning he understood.
This cheating behavior made Gu Tianci feel very guilty. But he really had no choice. After all, some of the allusions written by Shen Ning were so confusing when he searched for them that he could only ask AI for help.
However, he didn't expect that he would fail so early. He originally thought that he could use it at least a few more times.
But now is not the time to think about this. If he doesn't come up with a reason, let alone waiting until Shen Ning's college entrance examination is over, he is afraid that he will lose his future boyfriend now.
When Gu Tianci looked up, he saw Shen Ning's face with a look of suspicion.
Thinking of this, Gu Tianci quickly said: "Chen Ning, I just can't help myself..."
However, just as he started to speak, his phone rang again. Gu Tianci looked at the caller ID of his mother, and for the first time, he felt so familiar with her. He immediately picked up the phone and walked out the door.
I stuffed some snacks into Shen Ning's pocket and returned his homework book to him, but of course I didn't return the love letter.
——He was afraid that Shen Ning would see something in the love letter again.
Then he turned around to answer the phone, and the relief on his face suddenly disappeared, turned into disbelief.
"You said he's already at school???"
Gu Tianci listened to his mother's words in disbelief, turned around and hurriedly left the school's side door. He had to leave the school before Ye Wangxing arrived.
As for whether his married status would be exposed, and what Shen Ning would think of him, sorry, he really hadn't considered it at the moment. He just felt that he was about to be humiliated and the best thing to do was to leave here quickly.
Only Shen Ning, who was taken out of the office door, was left. He looked at the homework book and snacks in his hands and walked back to the classroom in a daze.
He didn't understand what was wrong with Teacher Gu, nor did he know why Teacher Gu was like this. He only knew that his confession was interrupted by Teacher Gu without receiving any response.
"Maybe it's because Teacher Gu really has something urgent to do. After all, he's an adult. Even if there's affection, it's impossible for him to stick with her 24 hours a day. He must have something urgent to do."
Shen Ning said to himself in a low voice, and then he encouraged himself and walked out of the teacher's office on the first floor.
However, just as he walked out, he saw a familiar figure standing at the door opposite him.
The man held a blind stick in his hand and wore a pair of very cyberpunk smart glasses on his eyes, which covered most of his face, leaving only his high nose bridge and reddish lips.
It made Shen Ning look strangely familiar.
It wasn't until the man walked a few times that Shen Ning recognized him by his straight back and long legs. It seemed like he had seen this man in the hospital before.
"Isn't that Mr. Elite? Why is he here? There's no one around..."
Shen Ning subconsciously walked over and planned to help that person.
After all, he was holding a blind stick in one hand and holding a mobile phone in the other hand for the security guard to operate, which looked very inconvenient.
As he walked, he listened to the greetings between the security guard and Mr. Elite.
After hearing that these smart glasses can identify and scan all objects in front of them and inform the owner through bone conduction headphones, not only the security guard, but even Shen Ning exclaimed softly.
Although navigation still requires unlocking the phone, after all, the port of the smart glasses is not connected to the satellite, but for Shen Ning it is already black technology.
At this time, he had already walked to the school gate. Just as he was about to speak, a figure passed him and came directly in front of Mr. Elite.
Shen Ning subconsciously took a step back, and only after he steadied himself did he realize that the person in front of him was actually Lu Yi.
What is he doing here? Does he know Mr. Elite?
But before he could ask, he saw the tall Lu Yi step forward, hold Mr. Elite's hand, and pull him aside. He could only faintly hear their voices in the distance.
"Senior, why are you here? How dangerous is this?"
Mr. Elite seemed to be very familiar with Lu Yi and shook his hand.
Shen Ning could even feel that Mr. Elite’s temperament had softened.
"I came to see you. Mrs. Gu asked me to come over, so I can see what you wear at school. I haven't seen it before."
Mr. Elite said this jokingly, but the expression on his face froze the next second.
——After hearing what Mr. Elite said, Lu Yi naturally turned off the APP that represented the glasses.
And Shen Ning looked at the tall young man in front of him, with a sunny smile on his face, and naturally put his arm around Mr. Elite's waist and said.
"Senior, your app is stuck again. Can I help you restart it?"
