"This child has no concept of money."
"Um?"
Old Master Gu lowered his voice: "Is the news true? He really tricked Xiao?"
"Yes." Han Fei didn't hide anything from him; if he really wanted to investigate, it wasn't impossible.
Old Gu gave Xiao Liu a thumbs up: "Little tycoon, you're quite capable!"
Han Chengliu's eyes darted around: "Grandpa Gu is the one with real ability!"
"Interesting! How did you figure that out?"
"Facial features. My uncle is a Taoist priest, and he taught me the art of judging people. Just by looking at you, I can tell you're destined for power, a high-ranking official!"
Han Fei rubbed his temples. This little feudal lord is really bold, daring to say such nonsense in front of this powerful figure!
"Children say the darndest things, don't take it seriously." Han Fei said with a sense of helplessness.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." Old Gu smiled and pushed the safety amulet back: "This thing is too valuable, you should keep it safe. No elder would accept a gift from a junior."
"It is I who should give you a gift."
He glanced at his personal guards behind him, who understood and handed over the gifts they were carrying.
It was clearly a carefully prepared gift; the gift for the youngest son was an abacus.
Han Chengda was very talented in accounting and finance. He liked the gift very much and thanked Grandpa Gu, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa Gu."
The gifts given to Han Rou and Han Chengshan were boxing gloves, as their school had recently added free fighting classes, and the gloves would be perfect for them.
"Thank you, Grandpa Gu!" Han Rou accepted the white boxing gloves with a gentle smile.
"Thank you, Grandpa Gu!" Han Chengda put on his black boxing gloves and waved them a few times, his eyes filled with fighting spirit as he looked at Gu Zhan.
He must study hard. Gu Zhan was able to beat him only because he was a year older and in the senior year, and had learned these courses earlier.
Once I finish these courses, I'll definitely be better than Gu Zhan, and then I'll beat Gu Zhan into a pulp!
He gave Han Chengsi a set of photocopies of case transcripts: "I heard from your grandfather that your dream is to become a prosecutor?"
Han Chengsi took it, delighted with it: "Thank you, Grandpa Gu! Yes, my dream is to become the most outstanding prosecutor!"
"That's a great dream, I hope you can achieve it."
"My turn! My turn!" Xiao Wu looked at Grandpa Gu expectantly: "Grandpa Gu, what's my gift?"
Old Gu looked at the lively and adorable chubby little ball and said with a cheerful smile, "A business card."
Xiao Wu was greatly disappointed: "A business card? What's the use of that?"
"A veteran artist's business card. Use this business card to go see him, and he will give you pointers on performance techniques, secrets he never shares."
"A closely guarded secret?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up: "I want it, I want to learn it!"
"You don't mind this business card anymore?"
Xiao Wu eagerly took the business card, as if it were a priceless treasure, and chuckled, "I don't mind at all, it's worth more than a thousand pieces of gold!"
When it was Han Chengliu's turn, Old Master Gu took a liking to the boy and handed him a pass: "If you need anything, you can come directly to me. No one can stop you."
"And this, a bulletproof vest. You were kidnapped, thankfully you weren't traumatized. Wear this vest when you go out from now on, safety first."
Han Chengliu was surprised to receive two gifts, and her eyes crinkled with a smile: "Thank you, Grandpa Gu!"
He pushed his younger sister forward: "This is my sister, Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi, quickly call him Grandpa Gu!"
Little Qi raised her head and called out in her childish voice, "Hello, Grandpa Gu! Grandpa Gu, what gift are you going to give Little Qi? Is it a pretty little dress?"
Old Gu glanced at Han Fei, a malicious smile in his eyes.
Han Fei was taken aback: What does this old fellow mean? Little Seven, danger!
Old Gu handed Xiao Qi a bundle: "Inside are indeed clothes and pants, and a Boy Scout badge. Congratulations on becoming a proud Boy Scout. Special training will begin next month. Remember to report on time."
Xiaoqi looked completely bewildered.
She opened the bundle; inside were camouflage uniforms, all in her size.
She took out her Boy Scout badge and examined it from all angles. She looked up in disbelief, pointing at herself with her chubby little finger: "Me? A Boy Scout? Special training next month?"
Old Gu smiled and nodded.
Xiao Qi's beautiful, glassy eyes widened: "This is the gift Grandpa Gu gave me?"
Old Gu smiled and said, "Training with your comrades will help you lose weight and return to a normal weight very quickly."
"I..." Xiao Qi tilted her head, her round eyes staring unblinkingly at him: "Am I really that fat?"
Grandpa Gu looked at his grandson: "Xiao Zhan, look at this little girl, isn't she chubby?"
"Very round."
Old Gu chuckled and said, "Round and plump is a polite way of saying that; it actually means fat."
Xiao Qi was completely distraught. She turned around and threw herself into her older brother's arms: "Sixth brother, Xiao Qi doesn't want to go to training. Xiao Qi wants to stay home, watch dramas, and eat snacks!"
Feeling the pressure of his younger sister rushing into his arms, Xiao Liu could no longer deceive himself. His little Qi was indeed too fat. Recently, when he went shopping to buy pretty clothes for his sister, he couldn't find any that fit.
The pants my sister wears are too long at the ankle, so I have to take her to a professional tailor to have them altered so they fit properly.
This proves that the younger sister's figure is much larger than that of her peers in terms of width.
"Xiaoqi, how about I go with you? We can become Boy Scouts together and make lots of new friends!"
Xiao Liu looked at Grandpa Gu for help: "Grandpa Gu, can I go too?"
“I guessed it.” He beckoned to his bodyguard, who handed him a bundle containing a size six camouflage uniform and a Boy Scout badge.
Han Fei sighed and said, "Old friend, I didn't expect you to pull this stunt. I really didn't think my little Qi was fat. Girls change a lot as they grow up, and they'll grow taller. There's really no need for her to suffer like this."
"You're the grandfather, so your view of the child is filtered through a lens."
"This child is overweight. Excessive obesity in children can lead to early development, heart compression, and blood vessel blockage, especially in girls, who should be especially careful."
Old Gu sighed and handed a photograph to Han Fei.
Han Fei took it; on it was a picture of a lively and adorable five- or six-year-old girl wearing a ballet tutu and with a slender figure.
Before Han Fei could ask, Old Gu took out another photo and handed it over.
The woman in the photo looked old because of her obesity. Her face was familiar, but her body was extremely obese. Her flesh was loose and flabby, like a lifebuoy, rather than the firm, muscular look of a large woman.
Han Fei placed the two photos side by side and could vaguely make out the faces in the two photos, whose features were similar.
Who is this?
Old Gu sighed, not wanting to answer at all.
Gu Zhan, who was standing to the side, answered, "She's my aunt."
"Little aunt?" Han Fei looked at his old friend strangely. "Your little daughter?"
"It's hard to explain in a few words, I'm really exhausted."
Han Fei understood. Even though this high-ranking official was a powerful figure in the political world, every family has its own troubles, and every family has a troublesome child!
These successful people often devote a lot of time to building their careers, neglecting their families and their children's education.
Han Fei met Xiao Qi's curious big eyes and handed her the photo directly, letting the chubby girl figure it out for herself.
Xiao Qi glanced at it, but was so frightened that she hid in Xiao Liu's arms and refused to show her face again. She couldn't even eat.
Old Gu, the one who started it all, ate with relish, praising, "Old Han, your cooking is amazing! If it were me when I was young, I would definitely have recruited you back to the mess hall!"
