Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Life is hard
Before Ye Jin could finish her own business, she received a call from Lu Tianlang.
He didn't call for himself, but to convey a message on behalf of Guan Yan.
Ye Jin: "Okay, I got it. I will definitely pass it on to you."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Jin went directly to Gu Chenxi's office.
"Boss Gu." Ye Jin said straight to the point, "Your mother asked you to go home for dinner."
Gu Chenxi: ...
Her style of delivering messages remains as simple and crude as ever.
Gu Chenxi waved his hand to let her leave, indicating that he understood.
Ye Jin continued: "Your mother also asked me to go to your house for dinner."
Gu Chenxi: ...
Although that is what I said.
But why does it sound so unpleasant?
Ye Jin smiled and said, "Boss Gu, I'll help you arrange your work so that you can have some time for dinner."
There was no room for refusal in the words.
If Gu Chenxi wants to refuse, he has to find a way to express it himself.
Mainly because Ye Jin is anxious
The world has been peaceful recently and no one has been causing trouble, which has caused her video production to be difficult for a long time.
There is no chance to insert any advertisements.
That's two hundred thousand dollars. If she can seize this opportunity, the money will soon be in her pocket.
So now some people are resorting to any means necessary.
Thinking of this, Ye Jin's eyes suddenly softened when he looked at Gu Chenxi.
After all, part of the 200,000 yuan advertising fee is due to this handsome face.
Gu Chenxi lowered his eyelids and didn't look at her.
Ye Jin silently counted three breaths back and forth, and without waiting for any refusal from Gu Chenxi, she smiled more deeply: "Then Mr. Gu, I will do it now, you continue with your work."
After saying that, he turned and left.
“…”
Gu Chenxi glanced at her back as she happily left, leaned back in his chair, and continued in silence.
I don’t know what kind of messed up things were going on in my mind.
-
Gu Chenxi didn't live in the Gu family, so he brought a driver with him when he went.
"Brother Li, go to the location I sent you first." Ye Jin said as soon as he got in the car.
"Okay."
After so many business trips together, Li Yong and Ye Jin have become familiar with each other and are much more relaxed when talking.
The address Ye Jin gave was a high-end fruit wholesale center.
"Boss, please wait for me in the car for ten minutes." Ye Jin made clear arrangements for Gu Chenxi and asked him to get out of the car with Li Yong.
Gu Chenxi hummed in his heart and continued to sit in the car with peace of mind.
But he suddenly thought, if his boss behaved more approachably, then Assistant Ye wouldn't have to be afraid of his eyes.
After all, he didn't even dare to look at her recently.
This boss feels quite frustrated.
Gu Chenxi got out of the car, looked around, saw Ye Jin, and walked straight over to her.
Ye Jin was looking down to pick fruits.
As I was picking, I found that the cheerful voice of the stall owner next to me gradually disappeared.
?
Ye Jin looked up and saw the silent and tall Gu Chenxi, who was wearing a custom-made suit.
The aura of people in high positions is completely different from that of ordinary people.
Habitual restraint will nourish your edge.
Gu Chenxi stood in this bustling market place. Although he did not attract everyone's attention, he successfully silenced the small circle of people around him.
...it ruins the mood.
Ye Jin ignored him and continued communicating with her boss.
When it was time to pay the bill, the store manager whispered to Ye Jin alone, "Eight thousand three hundred and forty yuan, just give eight thousand."
drop.
There was a sound of scanning code coming from the side.
A mechanical female voice came: "8,340 yuan has been received from the Alipay bank card."
Ye Jin and the store manager looked over at the same time.
This action power is really too strong.
Gu Chenxi calmly put away his phone and motioned for Ye Jin to go.
It's only eight thousand, it's not like she can't afford it.
What is he doing here to show off?
Ye Jin was very dissatisfied with his calm appearance. She picked up the bird's nest she had just bought and stuffed it into Gu Chenxi's hand: "Give this to the lady later and tell her that you bought it for her."
However, he had bought this.
Ye Jin took some of the remaining food as a gift, and let Brother Li take the rest home to eat.
After making all the arrangements for Gu Chenxi, Ye Jin felt relieved and walked out with the boxes.
Gu Chenxi looked at what he was holding in his hand and felt unsure.
So is this considered a success in being close to the people?
Gu's house.
Upon learning that Gu Chenxi was going home for dinner, Guan Yan was waiting in the living room early.
When Ye Jin knocked on the door, Guan Yan came to open it personally.
"Ma'am, sorry to bother you." Ye Jin said politely, holding two boxes of fruit. "I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some at random. Please don't mind."
"I don't mind."
Guan Yan gently welcomed her into the house.
The housekeeper took the things from Ye Jin's hand with great tact.
Guan Yan: "Take it to the kitchen and eat it as after-meal fruit later."
Then he said to Ye Jin, "The meal will be ready in a while. Take a break first and drink some tea."
His expression was kind, exactly the same as the last time he asked Ye Jin to persuade Gu Chenxi to go home for dinner.
Ye Jin said politely: "Thank you, ma'am."
Gu Chenxi stood behind Ye Jin and put down the bird's nest in silence.
When he noticed Guan Yan looking at him, he nodded slightly in response.
The atmosphere between the mother and son was awkward and they seemed to be very unfamiliar with each other.
If Ye Jin wasn't there, I don't know how awkward the relationship between them would be.
Guan Yan knew very well that it was thanks to Ye Jin that Gu Chenxi was able to come back for dinner this time.
So she treated Ye Jin with an unusually gentle attitude, sat close to Ye Jin, and poured her a cup of tea.
"Chenxi." Guan Yan placed the teacup in front of Gu Chenxi, "This is yours."
Gu Chenxi nodded, but was not very interested in the cup of tea and let the hot steam rise from it.
Dinner will be ready soon.
Gu Qingyang also entered the gate on time.
He looked overworked, with messy hair flying all over the place and two dirty Band-Aids on his left hand.
Guan Yan said gently: "Go wash up and eat."
"Oh." He responded, his posture relaxed.
Then he raised his eyes casually and asked in surprise: "Sister?! Why are you here?"
Guan Yan: "I'll invite Assistant Ye to my house for dinner."
When Gu Qingyang saw Gu Chenxi sitting on the single sofa, his face immediately fell.
As expected, Gu Hui was not present at today's dinner, and his character as the disappeared dad was firmly established.
There were only four of them at the table.
Guan Yan said gently: "It's been a long time since I saw you two brothers sitting together."
And she also heard from Lu Tianlang that the relationship between the two of them was actually not that tense.
It really surprised and frightened her.
So now, I looked back and forth at the two of them with great satisfaction.
Gu Chenxi: ...
Gu Qingyang: ...
They were in sync at this moment, all with stiff faces and obvious dislike of being together.
"Yes." Ye Jin also smiled and said, "This is so harmonious."
Ye Jin was also very pleased to see such a scene.
It has been some time since she came to this world. Although the relationship between the two brothers has not improved, she has successfully made everyone think that their relationship has improved by spreading rumors.
How is this not considered success in another sense?
…
Gu Chenxi lowered his eyes and looked away, not wanting to pay attention to her.
Gu Qingyang also snorted in disdain.
The two brothers' problems were almost resolved, so Ye Jin wanted to continue helping to reconcile the relationship between mother and son.
"This is the bamboo shoot chicken soup, right?" Ye Jin brought up the topic, "Did Madam make it herself?"
Guan Yan: "Yes, Chen Xi has loved the soup I made since he was a child."
This is possible.
Ye Jin quickly served a bowl to Gu Chenxi and said enthusiastically, "Boss Gu, please try it."
Guan Yan also looked over expectantly.
Gu Chenxi was silent for a moment, poured a lot of vinegar next to the chicken soup, then picked up the bowl and drank it slowly.
Ye Jin wondered: "Does chicken soup need so much vinegar?"
"Xiaoye, don't worry about him." Guan Yan said, "Chen Xi just likes to drink like this."
So that's how it is.
Ye Jin was also curious about the taste of bamboo shoot chicken soup, so she served herself a bowl.
After taking a bite, Ye Jin suddenly felt like a naked chicken swimming in her mouth.
Very fishy.
Guan Yan was watching from the side.
Ye Jin swallowed the chicken soup with her strong willpower.
Then without saying a word he began to pour vinegar into the bowl.
Gu Chenxi paused while drinking the soup, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Vinegar can cover up the fishy smell.
After Ye Jin poured a lot of vinegar, the chicken soup was finally not so hard to swallow.
But it’s not really delicious.
Gu Qingyang sat opposite Ye Jin and asked curiously, "Why is this chicken soup so delicious?"
"...It has a unique flavor." Ye Jin spoke with some difficulty.
After hearing this, Gu Qingyang became even more curious.
And he had never drunk the chicken soup made by Guan Yan.
So he also enthusiastically served himself a large bowl, took a sip with a spoon, and the expression on his face suddenly disappeared.
Then he added vinegar to the bowl without saying a word.
A pot of bamboo shoot chicken soup can silence three people at the same time.
Ye Jin and Gu Qingyang also experienced firsthand what it means to have pain but not be able to express it.
After that, no one at the table touched the pot of chicken soup anymore.
After dinner, they moved to the living room to rest.
Gu Qingyang took out his game console and sat cross-legged on the ground to play.
The housekeeper brought the fruit plate gently.
This time, Ye Jin and Gu Chenxi sat together.
Ye Jin curiously asked secretly: "Boss, do you really like drinking that chicken soup?"
Gu Chenxi gave her a 'what do you think' look.
It seems that he doesn't like it.
Ye Jin had another guess about Gu Chenxi's silence: maybe he was poisoned and made mute by the bamboo shoot and chicken soup.
And judging from Guan Yan's tone, Gu Chenxi must have been drinking since he was a child.
...seems like life is very hard.
-
Whenever it's quiet, Ye Jin likes to think about all sorts of things, and his brain is so active that he can't stop.
After a while, her inner complaints ended.
Then she realized that the atmosphere in Gu's house was so quiet that it was suffocating.
Gu Qingyang was still playing games by himself.
Gu Chenxi handles work on his mobile phone, just like when he is in the office.
Guan Yan was wearing a shawl and sitting on a leather sofa. She did nothing but sat there quietly.
Like a flower quietly blooming in the corner.
Guan Yan has a very relaxed and pretty appearance, and the only bit of handsomeness that Gu Qingyang has is because he inherited her.
But Ye Jin inexplicably felt that her flower was withering silently.
It’s like the spirit is trapped in a time gap. Although the body is still alive and well in this house, the heart is dead.
Up to now, Ye Jin has only met Guan Yan three times.
During this period, all the fragmented impressions that Guan Yan gave her were very fragmented, and were not enough for Ye Jin to piece together her true character. She was simply a mysterious woman.
and.
Gu Chenxi and Guan Yan have a distant relationship, and Ye Jin understands.
But Guan Yan dotes on Gu Qingyang so much, why can't Gu Qingyang become distant and close to her?
Ye Jin was so curious.
She really wanted to know what happened between them.
Ye Jin thought about it and took the initiative to walk over and talk to Guan Yan.
She is Gu Chenxi's assistant.
Gu Qingyang’s current job was also arranged by her.
No one knows Guan Yan's two sons better than Ye Jin.
These also happen to be what Guan Yan is interested in.
Ye Jin said something that successfully attracted Guan Yan's attention and injected some vitality into the slowly withering flower.
Guan Yan took Ye Jin's hand affectionately and said, "Let's go upstairs and talk."
Ye Jin wanted to ask some questions, so she followed him upstairs.
After that, she talked about all sorts of things for a long time, trying to get Guan Yan to open his heart to her and tell her the truth.
But Guan Yan just kept her expression moved.
When Ye Jin's emotions got too intense, she shed two tears and kept her mouth tightly shut from beginning to end.
Finally, Ye Jin felt tired and poured tea while sighing.
...It really is a novel in which no one has a mouth.
This guy is really tight-lipped.
Ye Jin stood up tiredly and said goodbye: "It's getting late, I should go back, ma'am."
Guan Yan stood up and walked her downstairs.
When she was about to go downstairs, she finally spoke, saying sadly: "I am such a failure as a mother."
Guan Yan: "Assistant Ye, thank you for talking to me so much today. I am very happy."
Ye Jin thought: You are happy.
She had gone through so much trouble for nothing.
"I am also very happy to chat with you." Ye Jin smiled in a businesslike manner, "I will come to chat with you next time."
Ye Jin and Gu Chenxi left the villa together.
call.
Ye Jin exhaled, looked up at the dark sky, and suddenly had an idea for a video.
"Mr. Gu."
Ye Jin took the initiative to ask, "Do you know what the lady just said to me?"
?
Gu Chenxi waited patiently for her to say the next sentence.
Ye Jin replaced Guan Yan's words: "Madam said that as a son, you are such a failure."
Gu Chenxi:……?
Ye Jin also didn't forget her two hundred thousand yuan: "My wife also said that she would put all the old mobile phones and computers that she didn't use on the Niuniu APP. Niuniu is a national chain, and the quality is guaranteed."
With two hundred thousand in hand, Ye Jin's mood suddenly improved a lot.
She continued to read the ad slogan loudly: "Just put your unwanted old son on the Niuniu APP, and the staff will come to your door to recycle it. If you like the price, you can pay on the spot. Choose the Niuniu APP for recycling."
Gu Chenxi:……?
Assistant Ye was poisoned by the bowl of chicken soup and became insane?
