Chapter 61: Adultery 28
Gu Rong was so angry that he was about to punch him—
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
Seeing that he had really angered the other person, Gu Yanchen even took the initiative to step forward and take a punch. Then he held Gu Rong's wrist and said, "Wen Jianshan wants to add a traditional Chinese medicine health care system to Gu's existing medical system, prepare a health care center, and promote traditional Chinese medicine culture. It just so happens that your parents are both masters in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, so-"
"Gu Yanchen."
Gu Rong was really curious: "Was this proposed by Wen Jianshan, or are you... abusing your power for personal gain?"
"Obviously."
Gu Yanchen: "I proposed this project, but Wen Jianshan expressed his support."
"How can he not support it? He still relies on Gu's for his livelihood."
"Don't you have confidence in your parents?"
Gu Yanchen continued, "I've already talked to Uncle Xu, and he's very interested in this, so—"
"Wait, wait."
Gu Rong wrinkled his nose: "When did you talk to my dad? How come I didn't know?"
"We talked on the phone."
Gu Yanchen: "You know now."
“…”
"I will go meet Uncle Xu in person later and personally approach him about this project."
Gu Rong spoke after a few seconds: "Since you have already made up your mind, why are you still telling me?"
"I can't refuse anyway. When have you ever listened to other people's opinions before making a decision?"
Gu Yanchen was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on the things that had been gathered from the bed. He then slowly spoke, "If you don't hurry up, you'll only run away faster. If my arbitrariness and independence make you uncomfortable, I apologize. It's just that when it comes to your affairs, I can't make concessions. At least not right now."
"Thank you for your honesty, then."
"You're welcome."
“…”
Gu Rong finally politely sent Gu Yanchen out.
The door slammed shut.
Gu Yanchen stood at the door and touched the tip of his nose.
With a click, the door of a nearby room opened. Xu Junyue poked his head out with a vigilant expression. When he saw Gu Yanchen, he was stunned for a moment: "Brother?"
Then he patrolled between the doors of Gu Yanchen and Gu Rong's rooms.
"?" His expression was slightly puzzled.
Gu Yanchen: "Aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Oh, I can't sleep."
Xu Junyue glanced at Gu Rong's door again: "Brother, can't sleep either? Want to chat with Xiao Rong?"
Gu Yanchen crossed his arms: "I don't need to look for it."
"Um?"
“I always go straight in.”
"ah?"
But it will be thrown out anyway.
But there is no need to say this.
Gu Yanchen turned and walked towards his room, then stopped at the door: "Next time you can't sleep, you can come and chat with me."
Xu Junyue blinked and saw that Gu Yanchen was still looking at him.
Gu Yanchen: "Did you hear that?"
Xu Junyue: "...Oh, I see, brother."
Gu Rong still accepted the shares and successfully resigned from Gu's company, so he could concentrate on helping Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing in the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
It's just that although he had learned Chinese medicine from his parents since he was a child in his original world, in this world he was just a "latecomer", so Gu Rong always knew how to take things slowly. After all, whether it was seeing a patient or prescribing medicine, he needed to be cautious. He didn't want to ruin the reputation of the Chinese medicine clinic because of himself.
However, there are many things that Gu Rong can do, especially after Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing were very willing to reach a cooperation with Gu's, the contact matters here will inevitably fall on his head.
"Are you sure you don't want me to follow you?"
Xu Zhian stood at the door of Gu Rong's room, watching Gu Rong pack his luggage.
The Gu family was going to the neighboring province to investigate the source of traditional Chinese medicine in their clinic, which could be considered as a gimmick to promote their health club. These days, everything can be faked, even traditional Chinese medicine is no exception, so the investigation project was of utmost importance - it was actually Gu Yanchen who decided to go in person on the Gu family's side, so relatively speaking, they couldn't be careless either.
Originally, Xu Zhian wanted to go there in person.
But he was stopped by Gu Rong.
Even if Gu Rong didn't stop him, he would definitely be the one to come forward in the end.
Then why bother wasting time.
"No, it's just an inspection. Besides, Gu's company will also hire professionals, so we just need to show up."
After all, it was the Gu family who advocated the investigation of the project, so of course they would be responsible for it.
"But I didn't expect Mr. Gu to attach so much importance to this project that he would go to inspect it in person." Xu Zhian laughed twice and then instructed Gu Rong, "He's so concerned about it, so you should at least show some concern if you go along, but don't tire yourself out. If anything happens, remember to call me and your mother."
Gu Rong couldn't help but laugh and said ok.
In addition to Gu Rong and Gu Yanchen, Qi Si was also traveling on the business trip this time.
Seeing Gu Rong again, Qi Si couldn't help but look at this young Mr. Gu for a long time.
Oh yes, we can’t call him Little General Gu now, after all, Gu Rong has resigned from Gu Corporation. But how to say it, although Little General Gu is gone, the news about Gu Rong has never stopped, especially since Qi Si is still with Gu Yanchen, and sometimes he is exposed to too much first-hand information.
But from the time when Mr. Gu's life story was revealed until now, what Qi Si found most difficult to understand was that regarding the cooperation with the Chinese medicine clinic, was it really necessary for their Mr. Gu to do everything himself?
Until now, Qi Si still couldn't believe that he, a special assistant to the president of a group, who graduated from a 985 or 211 university, would actually follow the dignified president of Gu Group to inspect a small hill in the neighboring province. To be more precise, it was a Chinese medicine plantation in the mountains that was called a "Chinese medicine production base" but was actually less than a thousand acres - a small hill-sized Chinese medicine plantation.
In fact, they can choose new sites for planting.
But Qi Si was just thinking about it. After all, as a qualified and excellent special assistant, the most important thing is to just listen to orders and ignore the rest.
But Gu Yanchen's "selfishness" is too obvious.
Qi Si felt that as a person with high IQ and EQ, he should not be blind.
So what's going on with this weird atmosphere between Mr. Gu and Little Mr. Gu? ! !
"The hotel was arranged in the town where the inspection site is located. Once there, we still have to drive into the mountains. I heard that the road conditions are not good."
Gu Yanchen picked up Gu Rong and glanced at Gu Rong's suitcase: "The temperature has dropped significantly recently. I checked the weather next door and it's quite abnormal. Did you bring the clothes I asked you to bring?"
"It's only been two days."
"So did you bring it?"
“…I brought it!”
Qi Si stood aside and didn't dare to breathe.
Listen, listen, is this conversation normal?
He really didn't dare to listen, didn't dare to ask, and couldn't bear to watch.
The neighboring province was not far away and only took half a day to get there. After arriving, they drove to the town, settled down there first, and then contacted someone to drive to the mountain for inspection.
Everything was going smoothly at first, but maybe it was because of Mr. Gu's bad luck, but in the afternoon, the weather started to get gloomy. At first, no one took it seriously. After all, they drove here and could drive back after getting down the mountain. It wouldn't be a problem even if it rained. But half an hour later, not only did it rain, but there was also hail.
Without any warning, they came crashing down on my head. When they landed on the ground, I saw that the largest one was as big as a glass bead.
"What the hell is this weather?!"
The people in charge were dumbfounded. There was no place to shelter from the rain on the mountain, and waiting for the rain to stop was simply unrealistic.
There was no choice but to hide in the car in such bad weather and drive down the mountain at the risk of being hit by hail.
"Snap—"
The front window of one of the cars was hit by hail, and the next second it broke into a spider web shape. The driver who was about to drive away almost screamed. It was too sudden.
Gu Yanchen protected Gu Rong and hid in the back seat, frowning: "It's unrealistic to drive all the way back to town."
In this kind of windy, rainy and hail-covered weather, it's a good thing that we can drive down the mountain smoothly.
They couldn't hide in the car forever. The weather didn't seem to be changing anytime soon, especially since the wind was so strong on the mountain. If they didn't go down the mountain, the situation would only get worse.
"Is there a village at the foot of the mountain?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The person in charge quickly said, "I know which way to go. We can stay there for the night."
Many of the employees on this mountain are from the village at the foot of the mountain, or from the town. The person in charge is familiar with this and sits in the passenger seat to lead the way. He also immediately takes out his mobile phone to contact the village chief and asks if he can clear out a few empty rooms. Fortunately, there is a farm stay at the foot of the mountain, which is large enough to accommodate so many people.
We got down the mountain safely. When we got to the bottom of the mountain, the sky had become completely dark. The dark clouds seemed to be pressing down on our heads, giving us a dull and oppressive feeling.
The wind was howling, and the trees on the road were shaking. Some of the slender trunks were directly crushed to the point that they could not lift their heads. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, forming a rain curtain that almost blocked people's vision. The most terrifying thing was the hail that kept falling. When the car was driving on it, you could even hear a creaking sound. Some parts of the ground were even covered with white particles.
Qi Si looked out the car window and couldn't help muttering, "Why does it feel like the end of the world is coming?"
There were two cars in total, and after they drove to the farmhouse, they couldn't see anything.
When they got off the car, their clothes and shoes were all wet, and they looked extremely miserable.
Qi Si took the lead and went with the person in charge to find the owner of the farm house to get the room card - they had already contacted each other on the phone before. Thank God, the person in charge was a local, very familiar with the place and had connections, otherwise it would take them a long time to settle down.
But soon, Qi Si ran back with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Mr. Gu, there are quite a few people who have contacted the farmhouse here, and some are trapped here and can't leave, so the boss said that the rooms are tight and he can only provide us with three rooms."
There were seven of them in total, and it was a bit cramped to split them into three rooms.
But it's still possible if you squeeze in.
"Boss Gu, can you and the Second Young Master share a room?"
Qi Si wiped his face and said, "The boss said that the sofas in one room can be put together to serve as a bed, but the other two rooms are a bit small."
"It's already this time, no conditions matter."
Gu Yanchen said: "Then can you separate them?"
Qi Si nodded immediately: "Sure, as long as you and the Second Young Master have no objection."
As he spoke, Qi Si looked at Gu Rong again.
Gu Rong was still wearing Gu Yanchen's coat, which Gu Yanchen had taken off earlier and held over his head to protect him from the rain and hail. Although Gu Rong tried to refuse, he was scolded by Gu Yanchen, saying not to waste time. Then he remained silent all the way until now, and it was unclear whether he was obedient or just sulking.
Seeing Qi Si looking over, Gu Rong said, "Just ask your General Manager Gu. If your General Manager Gu has no objection, how dare I have one?"
Qi Si: “…”
Finally, he handed the room card over with both hands and Qi Si ran away quickly.
Can't afford to offend.
Gu Rong chuckled: "Did he discover something?"
Gu Yanchen said: "I have never concealed it."
Gu Rong subconsciously stopped laughing: "What are you talking about? Aren't you afraid of——"
Gu Yanchen looked outside.
At this time, the doors and windows were closed, but the sound of the howling wind outside could still be heard. It was so terrible that it sounded like the howling of a giant beast. Someone was lying by the window, and screams were heard from time to time. Through the light in the house, only some scenes outside could be vaguely glimpsed. Even so, it was terrifying. Only here was it safer, as if it had become a safe house in the end times.
"What are you afraid of?"
Gu Yanchen turned around and actually smiled.
"The end of the world has come, why can't I love you boldly?"
