"Why?" Gu Chenfeng asked in surprise.
Su Lianyi explained helplessly: "We have some things to do here, so Gu Zhan and I are together, so we can't leave casually..."
She wanted to keep a close eye on Gu Zhan, but she concealed the reason and purpose for protecting Gu Zhan so closely.
"You're at Gu's headquarters? Okay."
Unexpectedly, Gu Chenfeng only asked about Su Lianyi's location and then hung up the phone.
Su Lianyi put away her phone, thinking that Gu Chenfeng had let it go.
She continued to sit on the sofa in Gu Zhan's office and play with her mobile phone. The sofa was soft and comfortable, and the air conditioner was warm. She also ate some snacks brought by her assistant.
Not to mention, this kind of life of closely protecting Gu Zhan is quite pleasant.
"Ding-ling-ling."
It was not until a while later that Gu Chenfeng called again.
Su Lianyi had just picked up the phone when she heard Gu Chenfeng say to her, "Come out and shoot the commercial."
Su Lianyi: “???”
She remembered that she had refused to shoot the commercial.
Immediately, Su Lianyi heard a burst of noise and exclamations coming from outside.
She looked outside curiously, and then froze in place.
Gu Chenfeng actually came here in person with a filming team, determined to give all these endorsements and advertisements to Su Lianyi!
Everyone else in the company looked at Gu Chenfeng and the team behind him in shock.
Su Lianyi was also shocked as she looked at Gu Chenfeng, and saw him directing the filming team to set up the set here for filming.
It's simply inhumane!
Gu Chenfeng also saw Su Lianyi, who looked confused, and waved at her, "Come, come, my future niece-in-law, see what your uncle has prepared for you."
He was very satisfied with Su Lianyi, his future niece-in-law, and teased Gu Zhan by the way.
Gu Zhan, who was working inside, had to come out. Seeing such an exaggerated and space-consuming scene, he rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
"Uncle, you... forget it."
Gu Zhan was about to kick Gu Chenfeng and his team out.
But on second thought, after all, it was for Su Lianyi's endorsement and advertising shoot, so he acquiesced to this costly and time-consuming practice.
“Awesome.”
Even Su Lianyi had to admire Gu Chenfeng.
Then, she said something to Gu Zhan and had to go to put on makeup and start filming, trying to finish it as soon as possible.
Gu Chenfeng brought a complete team, with costumes and makeup all ready, and temporarily transformed the lounge into a makeup and changing room.
While putting on makeup, Su Lianyi thought about it. Since she was free anyway, she asked Gu Chenfeng beside her about the second branch of the Gu family.
"Second room?"
Gu Chenfeng frowned slightly, as if it brought back some bad memories.
These should have been internal matters of the Gu family and it was not convenient to tell outsiders.
But thinking of the relationship between Su Lianyi and Gu Zhan, Gu Chenfeng thought about it and decided to tell Su Lianyi a little about the character of the second branch of the Gu family so that she could be more cautious.
"The second son of the Gu family is Gu Tanxiong, the old man's second son. He has been a bad person since he was a child. The words 'born bad' are engraved in his bones."
Gu Chenfeng was reluctant to talk about his childhood and only talked about the behavior of the second son Gu Tanxiong.
"He's selfish and he's only interested in pleasure. Mr. Gu originally wanted him to help manage the company, but he did some unscrupulous things for the sake of huge profits. He almost gave Mr. Gu a stroke, and he immediately kicked them out of the company."
"Although the old man has never treated him badly in terms of material benefits, Gu Lao Er has always been jealous of Gu Zhan's father. Especially when Gu Zhan's father inherited the company, he often secretly made things difficult for him and almost took the lives of Gu Zhan's parents."
"The old man couldn't stand it anymore and sent his second son abroad. But as a father, what man wouldn't love his son? Besides interfering in the company, the old man gave him everything he deserved and shouldn't have."
Thinking of the old man's silent indulgence of Gu Tanxiong because he felt he was indebted, Gu Chenfeng snorted coldly but did not comment.
"I see."
When Su Lianyi listened to Gu Chenfeng talking about the second branch of the Gu family, she was a little surprised at the moral height of Mr. Gu.
Logically speaking, as someone who has worked his way up to become a leader in such a large and wealthy family, Mr. Gu should be a ruthless and decisive person.
However, after hearing that his second son was on the verge of committing a crime, he immediately pulled his own son back. He would rather let him be a playboy and accomplish nothing all his life than allow him to go out and do harm.
Although he chose his eldest son and Gu Chenfeng in major matters, he still favored his second son emotionally and felt that he had treated this son unfairly.
"Oh, I don't know what I owe you."
Gu Chenfeng obviously didn't have a good impression of this second brother, and he just snorted coldly when he spoke of it.
"Sometimes I even doubt whether my second brother is actually from our Gu family. Apart from his decisiveness and swiftness in doing things, he doesn't seem like someone who could be raised by the Gu family..."
Gu Chenfeng paused for a moment, but ultimately didn't finish his words.
"By the way, where are Gu Zhan's parents?"
Taking this opportunity, Su Lianyi curiously asked about Gu Zhan's parents.
Because she had never met Gu Zhan and Gu Li's parents, nor had she heard the siblings mention them, it was inevitable that she felt a little strange.
Gu Zhan's parents are the eldest wife of the Gu family.
"Big Brother and the others..."
Gu Chenfeng seemed a little bored and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but remembering that this was a public area, he put his hand down and continued, "Big brother has always been the heir that the old man has high hopes for, and big sister-in-law is also the daughter of a wealthy family. The two of them have a good relationship."
"The Gu family's company had been smoothly handed over to my eldest brother. Just when the old man was preparing to retire, my eldest brother and his wife had a plane crash. The Gu family spent a lot of money, but they still couldn't even find their bodies."
After all, they are brothers who grew up together. Gu Chenfeng looked a little sad when he talked about this.
Ten years ago?
Su Lianyi calculated the time. Wasn’t Gu Zhan just an adult at that time?
"That was a critical period for the Gu Group's transformation. This incident caused panic among the board of directors and shareholders, and the stock price plummeted."
"No matter how grieving the old man was over the passing of his eldest son and daughter-in-law, he had no choice but to immediately pull the newly-adult Gu Zhan out of school and declare him the next heir to the Gu family."
"Then the old man came out of retirement and continued to look after the Gu Group while nurturing Gu Zhan's talent."
Listening to Gu Chenfeng talking about Gu Zhan's past, Su Lianyi felt a little sad.
I don’t know how Gu Zhan and Gu Li felt at that time?
Having just lost his parents and been forcibly pulled out of the ivory tower of the school, he had to face the various directors with unpredictable minds and the Gu Group that was as huge as an empire.
Even with Mr. Gu's personal training, it would probably be difficult and cautious at the beginning.
Thinking of this, Su Lianyi couldn't help but imagine the eighteen-year-old Gu Zhan.
