Old Master Gu narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Impossible, that kid doesn't have the courage."
"Grandpa, don't judge a book by its cover. Second Young Master Sun is different from First Young Master Sun. Second Young Master Sun grew up away from home, so what you see may not be his true side." The assistant continued to hint.
Mr. Gu was unhappy and glanced at his assistant: "Did Gu Yan ask you to say these words?"
The assistant choked and looked away.
Old Master Gu snorted coldly: "Since you are throwing a tantrum and don't want to come, then don't let others gossip about you in front of me.
"Although Gu Xi is an illegitimate child, he is also the blood of my Gu family. If brothers kill each other, get out from under my nose. The same goes for you. Make your status in the Gu family clear."
The assistant immediately lowered his head and apologized: "Old man, I spoke too much. I will never say such things again in the future."
Mr. Gu said "hmm" and said, "Go and call Gu Xi for me."
"yes."
Although he said that Gu Xi did not have the courage to betray the Gu family, what the assistant said still left a mark in Mr. Gu's heart.
He looked Gu Xi up and down for a while before slowly speaking: "Are you used to living here with me?"
Gu Xi was born with an angelic face, and her smile is harmless, and even her voice is crisp and pleasant.
"I'm used to it. I usually travel all over the country with the crew and stay wherever we go."
If it were Gu Yan, he would definitely complain. But seeing Gu Xi being so well-behaved, Mr. Gu immediately felt much better and nodded with satisfaction.
"Did you know that several agencies are trying to recruit you recently?"
"Know."
"I rejected them, you should know that, right?" Mr. Gu asked tentatively.
"I know." Gu Xi nodded again without hesitation.
Mr. Gu was a little surprised by Gu Xi's frankness: "Those companies all offered very good conditions, and I rejected them. Don't you have any complaints?"
Gu Xi shook his head: "I am a member of the Gu family, so I naturally have to know the big picture and put the Gu family first. You are my grandfather, so you will naturally not harm me. Your choice is my best choice."
Meeting Gu Xi's clear eyes, Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little guilty.
Gu Xi's frankness actually made Mr. Gu let down his guard.
He deliberately suppressed Gu Xi, but Gu Xi had no complaints. Perhaps he was indeed too harsh on this illegitimate son in the past.
Grandpa Gu smiled and waved to Gu Xi: "Don't stand there, come and sit next to grandpa."
Gu Xi did not shy away and sat next to Mr. Gu generously.
The two of them maintained a certain distance, neither too intimate nor too distant.
This is exactly Mr. Gu's favorite state. Even when facing his closest family members, Mr. Gu is always vigilant. This is a habit he has developed from many years of doing business.
"You're right, you're my grandson, how could I possibly harm you?"
"Grandpa rejected the invitations from those film and television companies on your behalf because I have something very important for you to do."
Gu Xi looked at Mr. Gu.
"Grandpa plans to appoint you as the CEO of Gu Entertainment."
Hearing this, Gu Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Grandpa, you, what did you say?"
Seeing his grandson's flattered look, Old Man Gu smiled for the first time. "Why, is what Grandpa said so hard to understand? From now on, Gu Entertainment will be handed over to you."
"I made you suffer a little before to train you and let you understand Gu's Entertainment better. You didn't waste my efforts. You did a great job. Now I can rest assured and hand over Gu's Entertainment to you."
Excitement and nervousness alternated on Gu Xi's face: "Grandpa, I, I'm afraid I won't do well and disappoint you."
Old Master Gu patted Gu Xi's shoulder and said, "No one is born knowing everything. When Gu Yan first joined the company, he also stumbled and fell. Now he is still..."
At this point, Mr. Gu suddenly paused and waved his hand: "He is not without flaws. You must learn from your mistakes and be more cautious in everything you do."
Gu Xi nodded: "I understand, Grandpa, I will try my best not to let you down!"
Mr. Gu nodded with satisfaction.
In the past, other members of the Gu family always said in front of him, intentionally or unintentionally, that Gu Xi was weak in character and a hopeless person, so he disliked this child very much.
Now it seems that it was prejudice.
Gu Xi's words and actions were polite and generous. Gu's Entertainment was originally a tough nut to crack. Even Gu Yan was unwilling to take it, but Gu Xi did not say "no". He took the responsibility on his own initiative and even felt grateful.
Just these points make him much better than Gu Yan.
Why didn't he realize before that Gu Xi had so many advantages?
The assistant saw that Mr. Gu's eyes were becoming more and more gentle and kind when he looked at Gu Xi, and he gradually frowned.
Gu Yan made him a promise. Now he and Gu Yan are only connected by the same rope. He must not let Gu Xi win the old man's favor.
"Second Young Master Sun, do you know the wife of Third Master Pei?" The assistant deliberately mentioned Qiao Ruoxi, which hurt Mr. Gu again.
After hearing the assistant ask the question, Mr. Gu did not stop him, as he was curious about Gu Xi's answer.
"Are you talking about Qiao Ruoxi, Miss Qiao?" Gu Xi thought for a moment.
Mr. Gu frowned instantly: "Are you familiar with her?"
Gu Xi shook his head: "I'm not familiar with him, but we've been on a variety show together, so I have some impression of him."
Old Master Gu breathed a sigh of relief, a glint of cruelty flashing in his eyes: "Our Gu family and the Pei family, especially this Qiao Ruoxi, are irreconcilable. From now on, whenever we have the chance, we must punish her severely!"
Gu Xi nodded: "I remember."
"Don't you even ask grandpa why he said that?"
"She caused my eldest brother to get into trouble and plunged the Gu family into a public relations crisis. Such a person is naturally an enemy of the Gu family."
Gu Xi's answer made Old Master Gu even more satisfied: "However, she has Master Pei San behind her, and Old Master Luo seems to think highly of her. It doesn't seem so easy to bring her down."
"Since Qiao Ruoxi is going to enter the entertainment industry, she will inevitably have to deal with Gu Entertainment in the future. What if we pretend to have a good relationship with her and then start from her side?" Gu Xi thought for a moment and put forward his own opinion.
Old Master Gu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is this an idea you came up with?"
Gu Xi scratched his head, his collar flushed red. "I recently took on a business war script, which contained a similar plot. However, reality and scripts are different after all. I was too naive."
Mr. Gu patted Gu Xi's back vigorously: "Well, this actor has not been in vain, you have learned to draw inferences from one example!"
"What you said might be a good idea. Since you have already taken over Gu's Entertainment, I will leave this matter to you. If you do well, Grandpa will reward you!"
…
After a chat, Mr. Gu finally ended up feeling sleepy.
Gu Xi said a few caring words at the end, then left and returned to his room next door.
The moment he closed the door, Gu Xi's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
