Chapter 390 Publishing House
Hearing Miao Beibei's name, Huo Boyuan blinked and shrugged helplessly, "What happens to Miao Beibei has nothing to do with me. Although she is my cousin in name, she has no blood relationship with me."
Gu Xizhou became more alert.
Miao Beibei's reaction in the afternoon made him guess that Miao Beibei should know Su Nanzhi, or at least had heard of Su Nanzhi's name.
Now that Huo Boyuan came to him, his guess was even more confirmed.
But what Huo Boyuan said made him a little confused.
Cousin in name only? But not blood related?
"I don't care about Mr. Huo's family affairs, but as a Chinese, I still want to remind you that Mr. Huo and you are not blood cousins. When you come to China, don't bring your country's customs with you."
Although Huo Boyuan and Miao Beibei may have a relationship with Su Nanzhi, Gu Xizhou's attitude towards them has not eased at all because of this.
He still remembered how Miao Beibei targeted Nanzhi. Although Miao Beibei suffered a great loss in the end, it did not mean that the matter could be easily covered up.
A dark light flashed in Huo Boyuan's eyes. He was stunned at first, and then he showed an arrogant smile.
"Comrade Gu, what is your position in saying this?"
"I'm a foreign investor invited by your country. Aren't you afraid that I'll cancel my investment in a fit of rage?"
"Can a country boy like you shoulder this responsibility?"
His tone was aggressive and his expression was even more arrogant. Anyone with a bit of backbone would get angry and lose their defense when hearing his words.
However, Gu Xizhou, the person involved, did not seem to feel his aggressiveness. After he finished speaking, he slowly said: "No matter if I am from the country or not, I think guests should abide by the rules when visiting the host's home, otherwise the host will not welcome you."
Huo Boyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Xizhou more seriously.
From Gu Xizhou's temperament, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person. Even though he is being targeted by him, he is still calm. It seems that Gu Xizhou is more difficult to deal with than he thought.
After saying that, Gu Xizhou ignored him and went downstairs with his lunch box.
But after going downstairs, his face darkened.
Regardless of whether Huo Boyuan and Miao Beibei are related to Su Nanzhi, he must first investigate the background of these two people.
Otherwise, the only one who will get hurt in the end will be Su Nanzhi.
***
The next day.
Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou got up early in the morning and came to the publishing house.
After sending Su Nanzhi to the door of the publishing house, Gu Xizhou left on the pretext of having something to do.
Looking at Gu Xizhou's leaving back, Su Nanzhi frowned slightly. After spending some time together, she immediately noticed something was wrong with Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou is hiding something from him.
Gu Xizhou's abnormality seemed to have started yesterday afternoon at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The figures of Miao Beibei and Huo Boyuan immediately appeared in my mind.
In her previous life, Su Nanzhi had dealt with people from all over the country and was familiar with the accents of various regions.
The day before yesterday, when Huo Boyuan and Miao Beibei were talking, she could hear that they both spoke with Cantonese accents. Then, considering that they both said they were foreign-funded, it was almost certain that they were from Hong Kong.
Gangcheng, surnamed Miao.
Su Nanzhi came up with a guess.
A hint of excitement appeared on her face, but it was quickly suppressed.
The relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan is tense now, so it is better not to act rashly.
Gu Xizhou obviously thought of this, so he didn't remind himself.
She was not angry. If it were her, she would probably investigate it privately first.
Within a few minutes, Su Nanzhi sorted out the whole story and then quickly put it behind her.
Although the appearance of suspected relatives is very exciting, there is no need to rejoice in advance for things that have not happened yet. What is happening at the moment is more important.
Su Nanzhi arrived at the door of the publishing house and, under the guidance of the security guard, soon came to the president's office.
The publishing house is very large and is divided into three floors.
The president's office is on the third floor, in a small, separate room.
Outside is the office area for the rest of the publishing staff.
This was the first time in the 1970s that Su Nanzhi saw so many books in a place other than a library.
There were mountains of books on almost every table, and a few people gathered together, discussing something in low but excited voices.
Seeing the unfamiliar face of Su Nanzhi, everyone's eyes, either curious or inquisitive, fell on her involuntarily.
After Su Nanzhi entered the president's office, some curious people immediately grabbed the guard and started questioning him.
"Me? I don't know who this is. I just know that the president waited for her all morning yesterday."
Leaving this ambiguous statement, the guard left the office building.
A man wearing black-framed glasses looked curious, "Could this be our new colleague?"
Another slightly plump man immediately dismissed this suspicion. "They look so unfamiliar. Anyone who can work at our publishing house, everyone should know them, right?"
"Maybe she's from out of town?" the curly-haired girl hesitated. "But she's really pretty."
"Looking good doesn't make you eat. Could he be someone with connections?" The slightly plump man suddenly said with some certainty.
Everyone looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces at what the man said, but no one said anything to refute him.
Su Nanzhi was unaware of what people outside were saying about her, and she soon met the publishing house's president, Li Changchun.
President Li looks to be about the same age as Principal Ying, and his temperament is exactly what Su Nanzhi imagined a publishing house president to be like.
Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a slightly pale but very neat and tidy shirt, he looked very gentle, but his eyes were very sharp.
In addition to President Li, Principal Ying was also present.
"Xiao Su, Lao Li and I waited for you all morning yesterday, but you were late and even asked for leave."
Principal Ying drank a cup of tea and said in a teasing tone, "You are a young man, but your health is worse than that of us old men. How can Old Li trust you?"
Su Nanzhi apologized profusely.
Gu Xizhou asked for leave for her yesterday, so it was impossible for him to let Principal Ying and President Li wait for the whole morning in vain.
But as the saying goes, the more courtesy you show, the less blame you will get. It was indeed her who broke the appointment, so naturally she had to apologize.
And since Principal Ying had helped her out, she naturally wanted to climb up the pole.
"President Li, I'm really sorry. I've been busy revising lesson plans lately and haven't been paying attention to my health. I kept you waiting in vain yesterday."
Principal Ying glanced at President Li and spoke again, "I've been revising your lesson plan every day, and I don't know how it's turned out. Don't embarrass me later."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and his eyes widened instantly. "Are you organizing a new notebook of questions again?"
After all, Su Nanzhi is not a serious teacher. Her teaching method for the college entrance examination sprint class is very simple and crude, which is to use the tactic of a large number of questions.
By doing exercises, students can consolidate their knowledge and at the same time make their thinking more flexible.
So when Su Nanzhi said she was revising the lesson plan, Principal Ying immediately thought of her organizing the question book.
Su Nanzhi looked calm, even a little confused, taking her Versailles attitude to the extreme. "After all, I'm young and inexperienced, so I can only come up with more questions, hoping that students can score more points on the college entrance examination."
After saying that, she curled her lips into a faint smile.
"You two are both learned and knowledgeable scholars. Please give me some advice."
Principal Ying curled his lips in disbelief. "I see you have plenty of ideas. Do you really need my advice?"
He looked at President Li and said, "Old Li, please take a look at Xiao Su's new test paper later and give her some more guidance."
