He smiled and said, "That's great! Which company is it?"
Yu Sheng shook her head: "I don't know either, but we should know by tomorrow night. Tomorrow night, the art director will take our team to meet with the investors."
If the discussions go smoothly, I'll probably be very busy. I'll need to squeeze in time for the psychological counseling sessions. The exact time I'll be available will depend on the clinic's schedule. I'll give you a more specific answer in a couple of days, okay?
“Of course you can. Psychological counseling is a long process; it's not something you can fix once and for all. You should focus on your own situation first.” Gu Ye said, his voice tinged with disappointment, “It’s just…”
"What?"
"I was originally planning to collaborate with your orchestra, but someone beat me to it..." Gu Ye raised his wine glass. "I wish you all the best in your negotiations tomorrow. If things don't go smoothly, don't be disappointed. I'll definitely invest in you!"
Yu Sheng said nothing, but smiled faintly and raised her wine glass to clink glasses with Gu Ye.
Even if the negotiations don't go smoothly tomorrow, she won't let Gu Ye invest in their band!
He invested not because he truly valued them, but purely because of her!
That's not what she wanted!
However, Yu Sheng, who hadn't seen through Gu Ye's true colors, didn't know that Gu Ye's words were just empty talk.
He didn't want Yu Sheng to continue working at the concert hall after marriage, nor did he want her to participate in any national tours. He only wanted her to be his full-time wife and bear his children!
So, after the meal...
After Yu Sheng went to the music room to play the piano, Gu Ye dialed Xu Shao's number: "Find out for me which company wants to invest in the Yu Sheng Orchestra?"
Gu Ye hung up Xu Shao's call and was about to roll up his sleeves to wash the dishes when Zhou Yanyun called: "Come back when you have time and take the Chinese medicine I prescribed for Yu Sheng. Tell her to drink it on time every day."
Gu Ye frowned: "What kind of Chinese medicine?"
"I went to Dr. Zhong's place specifically to get her the secret formula for preparing for pregnancy. You guys made such a fuss when you came last time, I forgot about it when I left!"
Gu felt a little gratified when she heard her mother say this, and smiled and said, "Mom, I always thought you didn't like Sheng Sheng, but I didn't expect that you would actually go to Old Zhong to ask for a secret recipe for getting pregnant for her."
Zhou Yanyun snorted coldly: "I don't like her, but you are the only son in our Gu family, and your grandmother is getting old. Of course, I hope she can hold her great-grandson before she is buried. I have to put the big picture first!"
"No matter what, thank you!"
When are you coming to pick it up?
"Tomorrow night!"
"Don't bring Yu Sheng here, I don't want to see her!"
"Mom, can you stop targeting her like this? She's my wife now!"
"So what? I don't like her, I just don't like her!"
After Zhou Yanyun finished speaking, she hung up the phone before Gu Ye could speak.
Gu shook his head helplessly, thinking: Perhaps, once Yu Sheng gives birth to a child for the Gu family, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will improve! But, given the current situation between him and Yu Sheng, when will Yu Sheng be able to give birth to a child for the Gu family?
Thinking about all this, Gu Ye felt a little heavy-hearted.
He even had the wicked thought of finding an opportunity to get Yu Sheng drunk and have sex with her first!
It would be best if she could get pregnant because of this, but even if she can't, at least they've solidified their marital relationship!
Instead of like it is now—
They are husband and wife in name only, but not in reality!
Gu Ye became increasingly eager to act, until Xu Shao's phone call interrupted his thoughts.
"You found it?"
As soon as the call connected, Gu asked.
Xu Shao respectfully replied, "I've found it."
Which company?
"Fukawa!"
Gu Ye's expression had been calm and composed, but he visibly paused after hearing Xu Shao utter those two words...
...
The following day, around 7 p.m.
In Guo Ji's private room, seven friends, including Yu Sheng, Zhou Jiashu, Li Ran, and Xu Lina, sat around a round table, while the main and secondary seats were empty.
Yu Sheng's makeup and clothing were no different from her usual attire, while Li Ran and Xu Lina were clearly dressed up on purpose.
Li Ran, in particular, wore a low-cut burgundy sweater and tight-fitting dress. The dress not only made her breasts appear and disappear but also outlined her curvaceous figure, clearly indicating that she had come prepared.
As Li Ran touched up her lipstick in front of the mirror, violinist Chu Feng teased, "Sister Ran, whether we can win over the investors tonight depends entirely on you!"
Qin Xinbo then asked, "Sister Ran, did you inform your husband about your outfit today?"
Li Ran's eyes widened: "What's there to report? We broke up a long time ago!"
Xu Lina asked in surprise, "When did you break up? You were fine when we were performing?"
Li Ran said in a nonchalant tone, "We broke up after the performance."
Xu Lina asked in confusion, "Why?"
"It's not suitable!"
After Li Ran finished speaking, she pursed her lips, pulled her clothes down a bit, and looked at her friends one by one, saying, "If the investor tonight is a rich and handsome guy, you all have to help me out, you hear me?"
"Absolutely! If you can secure the investors, our investment will definitely be fine."
After Chu Feng finished speaking, he looked at Qin Xinbo and asked, "Old Qin, don't you think so?"
"It must be!"
As everyone was devising risky strategies to help Li Ran secure investors, Zhou Jiashu, who was sitting next to Yu Sheng, lowered his voice and asked her, "How have you been lately?"
Yu Sheng naturally couldn't tell Zhou Jiashu the truth, and laughed, "It's alright..."
Zhou Jiashu hesitated for a moment, then said, "That day... I went!"
Yu Sheng was taken aback for a moment before realizing he was referring to the day of her wedding banquet. "Really? Why didn't I see you when I was toasting?"
"I'll be leaving after the ceremony," Zhou Jiashu said, pausing briefly. "You two look quite well-matched."
Yu Sheng forced a smile and said, "Thank you."
After being beaten by people arranged by Gu Ye, Zhou Jiashu researched Gu Ye online and discovered that the persona he presented to the outside world was completely different from his methods.
Therefore, Zhou Jiashu was very worried about Yu Sheng.
I'm worried that she'll be deceived by Gu Ye, and even more worried that she's not doing well.
He wanted to tell Yu Sheng several times that Gu Ye had ordered people to beat him up, but he held back each time.
First, it's uncertain whether Yu Sheng would believe what he told her.
Secondly, they were afraid of affecting their marital relationship!
However, if Gu Ye treats Yu Sheng badly, he will definitely tell her about it without any scruples!
As Zhou Jiashu was thinking this, a man in his fifties wearing glasses and exuding an artistic aura, and a tall, handsome man in his twenties exuding an aristocratic air walked in.
The man in his fifties is their art director, Bu Yizhuo.
The man in his twenties is—Shang Yan!
