Chapter 2 My sister is back
Gu Nansheng took the earliest flight, so it was still morning when he arrived in City S.
After leaving the airport and looking at the rapidly changing S City, Gu Nansheng felt very emotional. She had been eating sand in the desert for too long and she was almost unable to adapt to the prosperity of the city.
Especially since the girls around her were all wearing beautiful fashions of the new season, while she was still wearing an old skirt she wore before she came to the base five years ago. Although it was still exquisite, she always felt that something was missing.
Unlike other people who are obsessed with scientific research and don't care about dressing up, love of beauty is engraved in Gu Nansheng's bones.
She finally returned to the colorful world, and even if she could only stay outside for a month, she would seize the opportunity to dress herself up and go shopping.
Just as she was thinking about which brand stores to go shopping after finding her stinky brother, her cell phone rang.
Gu Nansheng looked down and found that the investigation report on Gu Beiming that she had asked her colleagues in the Security Bureau to prepare had been sent to her.
When she left, Gu Beiming was not old enough to own a mobile phone. Although she could find Gu Beiming through various twists and turns, how could she be as efficient as the Security Bureau?
Just looking at Gu Beiming's public welfare publicity schedule today shown in the report, Gu Nansheng was slightly stunned.
If she remembered correctly, there would be some black fans causing trouble at today's event, and Gu Beiming would be so irritated that he would lose control of his emotions and curse the black fans, making his already not-so-good reputation even worse.
But since she was already there, she certainly wouldn't allow this to happen. She immediately told the driver to turn around and go back to the event location.
The airport was not far from the event venue, and Gu Nansheng arrived outside the venue in just half an hour.
Looking at the huge poster of Gu Beiming posted outside the venue and the fans who came to support with Gu Beiming's light boards, Gu Nansheng was stunned for a moment. Her younger brother who used to follow her around and ask for candy has really become a top star!
The boy on the poster no longer had the baby fat he had when she left. He now had a handsome face and his eyes sparkled as if there were stars and the sea.
The little girls holding light boards excitedly took photos under his poster, screaming from time to time, looking very excited.
Looking at the young man on the poster, Gu Nansheng hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit like homesickness.
She still remembered the afternoon when she left five years ago. She packed her luggage and little Gu Beiming followed her, naively thinking that she was going to take him on a trip.
Because the project needed to be kept confidential, she couldn't tell Gu Beiming the truth, but she didn't want to lie to the child.
After sending Gu Beiming to a trusted relative's house, she could only vaguely say, "Xiaoming, I have to do something and I may not be able to come home for a long time. But this matter is very important, so I have to do it. When the day comes that I can announce it, you will definitely be proud of me. I promise you that I will come back as soon as possible."
Gu Beiming was obsessed with superheroes at the time. When he heard this, his eyes sparkled, "Sister, are you going to save Blue Star?"
Developing a new source of rocket power to fly out of the solar system should also be considered as finding a new home to save the Blue Planet, right? Gu Nansheng thought uncertainly, and then she nodded in the child's sparkling eyes.
Then little Gu Beiming jumped up happily, "Oh my, I'm the younger brother of the superhero who saved Blue Star!" He even patted his chest and said, "Sister, don't worry, I won't hold you back."
So she finally left home amid Gu Beiming's cheers and went to the secret research base.
But she was still confident after all. She originally thought it would take two or three years at most, but researching the controlled nuclear fusion engine was more difficult than she thought. Even a genius like her took five years.
Gu Beiming once believed she was going to save the world, but as he grew older, he realized that her promise to save the world was just a lie. Would he resent her for leaving him for five years, not even contacting him? Would he feel like she had abandoned him?
Gu Nansheng's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
But she was not the type to be pretentious, and she quickly got over her emo mood. If Gu Beiming really started to blame her, she would find a way to make it up to him.
Gu Nansheng then decided to go straight into the venue, but when she reached the gate, she was stopped by the security guard at the door.
Gu Nansheng covered her face in embarrassment. She had been out of touch with society for so long that she had forgotten she needed a ticket!

After getting out of the car, Gu Beiming walked smoothly all the way to the backstage to wait.
At this time, the venue had already been set up and everyone was basically present.
Through the gap in the curtain, Gu Beiming could still see the children who came as representatives in the audience chattering and playing with each other.
The children's laughter reminded him of his childhood. His parents died in a car accident when he was 5 years old. He didn't have many memories of his parents. All his childhood memories were about being with his sister Gu Nansheng.
Although he is considered an orphan, he is not miserable. His parents left them enough inheritance and he also has a tough and academically gifted sister, Gu Nansheng.
With Gu Nansheng around, no one dared to covet their inheritance, and no one dared to bully them.
Not only that, my sister has been extremely smart since she was a child. She was admitted to the junior class of a top university at the age of 13, and had her own patent at the age of 16. She made hundreds of millions of dollars after selling the patent.
She then invested the money and became a shareholder of many large companies. Up to now, she can receive billions in shareholder dividends every year.
After Gu Nansheng left, this money was deposited into his card every year, enough for him to live comfortably for several lifetimes.
This is also the reason why he dares to be so arrogant and fearless in the entertainment industry.
While taking care of him, Gu Nansheng also did not forget to give back to the society. Every year, she would donate money to orphanages and poor mountainous areas in the name of the siblings.
After his sister left, he followed the tradition and donated money to the orphanage every year. Among the orphanages that were fundraising this time were several that he often donated to, which was why he took the initiative to participate in this fundraising event.
Thinking of this, Gu Beiming couldn't help but sigh. His sister had been gone for five years!
In the past five years, people have been telling him that something might have happened to his sister and she wouldn't be able to come back, but he knew how capable his sister was, and he didn't believe that something would happen to her so easily. He was just delayed by something and couldn't come back.
After she finishes what she needs to do, she will always appear in front of him, just like the Monkey King in the movie who will eventually appear in front of Zixia on a colorful cloud.
"Now, please welcome our guest today—Gu Beiming."
The host's voice interrupted Gu Beiming's memories. He knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past. After tidying up his appearance a little, he went on stage.

After asking for help from his colleagues in the Security Bureau again, Gu Nansheng finally got the staff member's work permit and entered the venue after struggling for nearly half an hour.
At this point, the event has entered the second half, the donations have been collected, and the organizers are issuing a statement of gratitude to the donors.
Gu Nansheng searched the crowd for a while and finally found Gu Beiming, who was looking bored and blank in the middle of the first row of seats.
She felt amused. It seemed that being a top star was not easy. Just like ordinary workers, she had to endure some boring situations. This situation was exactly the same as when she dozed off in a meeting.
Then she looked around and saw the name of the donated orphanage on the background board.
She was stunned. Why did the name look so familiar? It seemed to be the orphanage she had donated to...
Gu Nansheng took a closer look at the staff members of the orphanage who came this time. Among them was Li Hong, the director of Xingxing Orphanage, whom she knew!
Her eyes lit up. She was just worrying about what to do if she couldn't show up when the black fans were causing trouble. Now, she was really served with a pillow!
At this time, the thank-you ceremony on the stage officially ended, and it was time for the final fan communication session.
As a top star, Gu Beiming has a lot of fans at this kind of charity event, not to mention the fans outside the venue who don’t have tickets and cannot enter.
When the host started to draw the lottery, the atmosphere in the venue became agitated and many fans raised their hands.
Most of the fans are young girls. Before the fans are picked to ask questions, they will first express their love for the fans and then start asking some common questions.
Gu Nansheng felt amused when listening to the girls' fancy confessions. She had never known in her life that there were so many ways to express one's love to someone.
As the person being confessed to, Gu Beiming tried his best to remain calm and keep a cool expression, but the slight blush on the tips of his ears revealed his shyness at the moment.
Just when everyone thought the event would end in such an atmosphere, a skinny man with an ordinary appearance and a short flat head was picked to ask questions.
"Mr. Beiming, are there any true reports online that you frequently skip classes, have dropped out of school, and don't plan to take the college entrance exam? If so, isn't your fundraising for the orphanage setting a bad example for the children, imitating your skipping and fighting habits? I heard you have an older sister who disappeared five years ago. Did they abandon you because you were too naughty?"
The hall fell silent in an instant, and everyone stared at Gu Beiming, wanting to know how this top star would answer this tricky question.
Some reporters couldn't help but smile, as if they were enjoying the show. As for the fans, after the initial panic, they started shouting together, "Xiao Ming, don't answer!"
They all knew that with Gu Beiming's emotional intelligence, it was basically impossible for him to resolve such a tricky question. Given his sharp tongue and temper, answering it would only lead to a greater conflict.
Zhou Yu, who was standing backstage, searching for lunch on his phone, was suddenly awakened. What the hell! This kind of thing happened just as the event was about to end!
He turned his head and carefully observed Gu Beiming's expression at the moment, and then evaluated in his heart whether he should go up to the stage and drag Gu Beiming off the stage regardless of the consequences.
At this time, Gu Beiming, the person involved in the incident, had no expression on his face, as if the person being scolded was not him.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was puzzled. Could it be that this guy had secretly improved his emotional control behind his back? These words had no effect on him. So, did he not need to rush out and pull him off the stage?
However, Gu Nansheng in the audience knew that Gu Beiming was extremely angry when he saw his expression. If one paid close attention, one could see that his left hand hanging by his side was clenched, which meant that his anger had reached its peak and was about to burst out.
If he is allowed to continue like this, he and that anti-fan will definitely not end up reconciling today, and everything will go as described in the original book.
Gu Beiming felt amused and angry at the same time.
His grades were not great, but they were good enough for him to apply to an art college, so he discussed with the school that he could hire a tutor and take the exam. However, when the news got out, it became known that he was dropping out.
Gu Beiming no longer cared about the negative information that was spread online. He would try to refute the rumors at first, but later found that netizens didn't care about the truth at all and just wanted to scold him.
After that, he didn't bother to pay attention to those haters anymore.
But now this hater was actually spreading rumors about his sister! He could tolerate those people spreading rumors about him, but that person shouldn't have dragged his sister into this. How could his sister abandon him?!
This guy really deserves a scolding! He must give him a little shock.
But just as he was about to speak, a woman in her fifties came up on stage, held him down, and raised the microphone.
"Hello everyone, I'm Li Hong, the director of the Xingxing Orphanage, which received the donation. As a recipient, I think I'm qualified to answer this question."
"First of all, I believe anyone can contribute to charity as long as they have the will. Secondly, if we're talking about deservingness, then have you donated a lot to charities in our country, or have you been volunteering for years? Otherwise, I don't know what grounds you have to question our donors. Beiming may only be 17, but he and his sister have donated to our orphanage for over 10 years."
Everyone in the audience was stunned. Gu Beiming had actually been donating for over ten years? How old was he? Was he really just bragging?
The man who asked the question was also panicked, but he didn't want to give up. Instead, he continued to question, "Do you have any evidence? You said you donated money, so you donated it?"
Li Hong remained calm and smiled, "Don't worry. We have recorded every donation over the years. I will have Bei Ming's donation information published online. Would you like to share your charitable contributions over the years?"
The man's face immediately turned pale. If he had money, how could he accept to be hired to slander Gu Beiming?
He originally thought it would be easy to scam a young handsome guy, but he didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to appear out of nowhere. It seems that he won't be able to get the money today.
Seeing that things were sliding out of control, the man didn't want to fight anymore. He touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "Dean, you are right. I am narrow-minded. I will definitely do more charity work next time." After that, he put down the microphone and slipped out as if escaping.
Zhou Yu in the audience shouted thank God when he saw this. In order to avoid any further complications, he quickly stepped forward and acted like an agent to inform everyone that the event was over. Then he quickly pulled Gu Beiming back to the backstage lounge.
The lounge was quiet for a few minutes before Zhou Yu broke the silence again, "Bei Ming, luckily you managed to hold yourself back this time. Not bad, you've made progress."
Gu Beiming ignored Zhou Yu's praise and turned to look at Li Hong who had followed him in. "Dean Li, I really want to thank you for helping me out this time."
Li Hong smiled kindly, "You've donated a lot of money to our orphanage over the years, and that's what I should do. But the person you really need to thank is someone else. She came to me and taught me how to say all this."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked towards the door of the lounge, and at this time the door of the lounge slowly opened.
A woman with delicate features and wearing a black slim dress was standing at the door and walking towards him.
In an instant, his mind was as bright as if millions of fireworks had exploded, and his sister really came back riding on a colorful cloud.
