When Meng Sheng saw the content of the message, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Surprise and shock clearly spread from his eyes.
The name Gu Yuan was still relatively unfamiliar to her.
She had hardly heard of it.
But the two words "Gu family" are easy to understand.
Moreover, she had discovered a pattern long ago: all the text messages that this number sent her that predicted the future were things that were closely related to her.
All the news involved her own interests or was simply beneficial to her.
He had heard of the names of the three siblings of the Gu family.
Then this Gu Yuan is the head of the Gu family.
hiss--
Meng Sheng took a breath. She had seen Gu Yuan before. He was about 1.8 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, and had a strong air of scholarly elegance. In addition, he must have taken good care of himself over the years, so he looked to be only in his forties.
But if she remembered correctly, Gu Ci's elder brother must be thirty-four or thirty-five years old this year, right?
Gu Qinglian is thirty-three years old this year.
So by this calculation, Gu Yuan must be at least fifty years old, right?
Or maybe he’s already over sixty, so it’s hard to say.
He also supports college students.
It's really unexpected that an old cow would eat young grass.
At such an old age, he can still stand up?
By taking drugs?
Tsk!
Over the years, the Gu family has been famous for being a cultured family with strict family traditions and profound family knowledge.
Especially Gu Yuan, the head of the family, is no simple person.
It is no exaggeration to say that he represents half of the Beijing literary world.
He has been involved in publishing, media, film, television, drama, culture and technology. More than ten years ago, he founded a private high school.
This private high school is very famous in Beijing. It is top-notch in terms of management, teaching and admission rate.
Of course, tuition fees are definitely not cheap.
Therefore, this school is also known as a private school for the nobility.
The vast majority of students there are young masters and young ladies from wealthy families in Beijing, but there are ten poverty alleviation places in each grade every year. As long as the students have excellent academic performance, the school will bear the tuition and living expenses.
At the end of each year, the school will organize donations of supplies to schools in mountainous areas.
This school has brought a lot of good reputation to the Gu family.
Tsk, what a coincidence.
She was just thinking about what kind of gift to give to Gu Ci in return.
The integrity of a scholar cannot be broken, but if it is revealed that he is supporting a female college student, how will it collapse?
Just thinking about it makes me feel wonderful.
She couldn't let Gu Ci down. She had planned so much, and although it didn't succeed, she had spent a lot of energy and chess pieces, right?
If she didn't give some "gift" in return, she would feel sorry for Gu Ci's efforts.
After all...reciprocity is the norm.
The corners of her lips twitched, her eyes were filled with indifference and sarcasm, and her gaze was focused on the following text.
This library project is the hard part.
If this matter were to be exposed, it would definitely be a devastating blow. The Gu family's century-old heritage would probably be destroyed by 60 to 70 percent.
She didn't know the project team, who was involved, or the specific details. If she just reported it blindly, the other party might not have a response plan.
And she had alerted the enemy, which would make her a target for everyone involved in the project.
This is not a wise move.
She could have added fuel to the fire in Gu Yuan's affairs of supporting a female college student and withholding workers' wages.
However, the latter matter still needs to be investigated first. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. There is nothing wrong in knowing more about the inside story.
Thinking of this, she called the private detective she often worked with.
Tomorrow is Friday, so she asked him to wait at Fenghu Apartment and take pictures of Gu Yuan, and then send them to the paparazzi and marketing accounts after the closing ceremony of the art museum.
This closing ceremony also concerns the art museum, so she naturally wouldn't take any risks with it.
We have to wait until the closing ceremony is over and then start the subsequent after-sales activities of the exhibition.
By then, it will be Gu Ci's face that will be embarrassed, and it will also be time for Gu Ci to beg the art museum to do things.
She didn't know whether to say that Gu Ci was smart or that she was too smart for her own good. She had to make trouble at this time and spread the gimmick of suicide, which was also another kind of publicity for Gu Ci.
Meng Sheng has been working with the private detective for a long time and they are old clients. After the price was negotiated, the private detective agreed.
She would separately assign someone to investigate the issue of substandard library project materials and unpaid wages for workers.
*
Deqing Affiliated Hospital, in the ward on the 16th floor.
After more than twenty days of recovery, Gu Ci's body has improved a lot. The wounds from the last stab wound have healed, the blood coagulation condition has improved, and her face has regained some color.
But taking medicine and getting injections are inevitable every day.
This ward is like her second "home" after returning to China.
But it is also the same abroad. Out of 365 days a year, at least two or three hundred days are spent in the hospital.
Or maybe, her whole life...both lives have been like this.
She is used to it.
She wasn't lonely in the hospital. She didn't like playing with electronic products much. She would just watch variety shows and TV occasionally and play some educational games.
The rest of her time she spends doing flower arrangement, playing chess with herself, reading, practicing calligraphy, and occasionally painting.
She was arranging flowers when people from the art gallery arrived.
Hearing the familiar voice greeting her, she turned around, put down the sunflower in her hand, and greeted him with a smile, "Team Leader Mei, you're here. Come and sit down. Would you like some hot tea or sour plum soup?"
"You're welcome, Ms. Lvy. We're here to discuss the details of the closing ceremony in three days."
Mei Fang is the team leader of Group 1 in the Research and Planning Department. They greeted each other with a smile and sat down on the sofa.
Gu Ci glanced at the other two people traveling with her, her eyes moved, and she smiled warmly, "I guessed that you would come over in the next two days.
"Cao Ma, please serve Team Leader Mei and the other three some iced sour plum soup. It's getting hot, and I can't use the air conditioning here due to my health. Tea burns my mouth, but I don't have any other drinks besides tea and sour plum soup, so please don't mind."
"Having sour plum soup is a blessing for us, how could we dislike it?"
Mei Fang exchanged a few pleasantries with her, and after the nanny Sister Cao brought the sour plum juice, they both drank a sip before listening to Gu Ci's questions.
"Huh? Why didn't that girl named Fan Ru come?" She said in a normal tone, as if she was just asking a simple question.
The girl next to Mei Fang didn't think there was anything wrong and replied casually, "Fan Ru was transferred to another department for a promotion today, and will no longer be involved in matters related to our planning department."
Gu Ci was startled, a little surprised, "Promoted? Oh... I see, that's a good thing."
She said that if something happened in the art museum, there would probably be chaos and confusion, so why would they come to the hospital?
It turned out that plans caught up with changes, and Fan Ru was suddenly promoted.
I haven't been promoted for so many years, how come I got promoted now?
And it happened to be today.
She didn't spend too much time thinking about this matter, but talked about work with Mei Fang and others.
The process of the opening ceremony had been discussed a few days ago. Today we came mainly to refine the details, and the discussion lasted only an hour.
Gu Ci tried to get them to stay for dinner, but they declined, so she had to send them out of the ward.
When she returned, Gu Qinglian had already laid out the dishes for her, "Come and eat."
Gu Ci smiled, walked over and sat down. After eating a few bites, she sighed and said, "Sister, I want to be discharged from the hospital."
She had been talking about wanting to be discharged from the hospital for many days, and Gu Qinglian knew that she felt bored and depressed.
But he still comforted her, "Your current physical condition is not suitable for discharge. You'd better listen to the doctor. Otherwise, if your physical data does not meet the standards, you will not be able to attend the closing ceremony of your art exhibition and the wedding banquets of the Kong and Fang families in the east city in a few days.
Okay, Mom asked me to stay here with you just to make sure you eat well. Eat quickly. When we go to the east side of the city, we'll have to stay there for a night or two, so you can walk around more."
Gu Ci slumped her shoulders helplessly, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, "Okay."
After her eyelids drooped, she began to think about Fan Ru's promotion again.
Could it be that Meng Sheng discovered it?
That’s not right. How did she find out?
It can't be that Fan Ru took the initiative to tell her, right?
Judging from her previous test of Meng Sheng, there is a high possibility that Meng Sheng is also reborn, but in the previous life, Fan Ru committed suicide due to depression at the end of August, which is still two months away from now.
She took advantage of her access to Fan Ru and used words to guide her, getting her to honestly express her grievances and to take the initiative to plan this matter.
How could Meng Sheng know this in advance?
Fan Ru was also promoted.
Gu Ci couldn't figure it out.
What exactly went wrong?
Why did it fail?
It seemed like everything had gone off track since she was reborn, and not even a single thing she had planned had been successful.
It’s so annoying!
Until now, she has to question whether Meng Sheng was reborn. It seems that everything has returned to its original state, and her rebirth is meaningless.
This can't be done.
How could she come back with reluctance and nothing gained and everything destroyed?
Her eyes were filled with resentment and anger, and it felt like there was a fire in her chest burning her internal organs.
There was a dense pain.
She didn't know whether this was physical or psychological. Her face turned pale for a moment, her chopsticks fell to the ground, and she stroked her heart with one hand.
Gu Qinglian was startled by her action and quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, "What's wrong? Ah Ci, is your heart feeling uncomfortable? Cao Ma, hurry, call a doctor..."
"No, no."
Gu Ci waved her hands quickly, and when she looked up again, the resentment and resentment in her eyes had disappeared, leaving only calmness and gentleness.
"It's okay, sister. It's probably a psychological problem. I just felt a little pain in my heart, but when I realized it, it was just an illusion."
Gu Qinglian frowned, "Really? No, let's call a doctor to take a look."
Gu Ci was helpless and was helped back to the bed by her. Soon the doctor came, examined her, asked a few questions, and then confirmed that Wu Yi had gone out.
Gu Qinglian finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You really scared me to death."
Gu Ci acted coquettishly to her apologetically, but Gu Qinglian just glared at her lightly, and thinking that she had not eaten much, she brought the food to her again.
For the next two days, Meng Sheng basically stayed in the art museum during the day, came to the hospital after four or five in the afternoon, and then returned to the Left Bank Courtyard at eight or nine.
Until the closing ceremony of the art exhibition, Meng Sheng and Pei Sui had never met each other.
The two lines that originally intersected closely were suddenly completely cut apart, becoming two lines that had no contact or interference with each other.
Meng Sheng didn't have much time to feel sad. These days, worrying about the art museum and Meng Chengli's illness had almost consumed all her energy.
It was also on this day, more than twenty days later, that Meng Sheng met Gu Ci again.
"Long time no see, Miss Gu." Meng Sheng curved his eyebrows and greeted her politely with a gentleness and a hint of alienation.
"I'm so sorry, I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to visit Miss Gu in the hospital."
You can tell it's just a compliment.
And it was a compliment without any disguise.
Gu Ci and Meng Chengli are staying in the same hospital, but one is upstairs and the other is downstairs. If Meng Sheng wants to visit her, there are plenty of opportunities and time.
