Chapter 621 No Pleasant Memories
"Yes, my darling is the best."
Having spent so much time together, Young Master Gu is now incredibly adept at praising his darling.
As Grandpa Gu watched the interaction between the two children, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Although he hoped his grandson would succeed, he didn't want his childhood and adolescence to be cold and devoid of fond memories.
It's Tingyun's good fortune to have met such a lovely girl like Guabao.
The Capital University and the library are both located in the city center, just a few streets apart. After crossing a few traffic lights, we arrived at the library entrance, and the driver parked the car on the side of the road.
Helian Jiao opened the car door and jumped out nimbly. She wanted to run into the library as soon as she got out of the car, but Gu Tingyun grabbed her arm and said, "Sweetie, wait for Grandpa and the others."
"oh."
The little boy settled down and waited for Grandpa Gu and the driver to get out of the car before walking ahead with his head held high and chest puffed out.
The huge library is located behind the square and is specially designed in the shape of an open book. Every few steps near the main entrance of the library, there are slogans for learning printed on the stone slabs.
"Books are the ladder of human progress!"
"In books, you'll find beautiful women; in books, you'll find houses of gold!"
"Read good books, read good books, reading is good!"
Upon entering, you'll see an elderly man wearing reading glasses sitting behind a table, holding a book in his hand, looking focused, with a sea of books behind him.
"Sweetie, go find a book to read yourself."
Gu Tingyun knew that Guaibao was a restless child. She was worried that Guaibao would run around outside and get lost, but now that Guaibao was in the library, she could let Guaibao play without worry.
"good."
Helian Jiao knew they were going to talk business, so she turned around without hesitation and went to read her book.
Gu Tingyun then approached the elderly man wearing reading glasses and politely stated his purpose: "Hello, I would like to buy a thousand extracurricular books."
The old man was taken aback and repeated, "A thousand books?!"
Seeing him nod, the old man immediately took off his reading glasses and stood up from his seat: "A thousand books is too many. Please wait a moment while I go and tell the curator!"
As he spoke, he walked out from behind his desk and strode upstairs.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a scholarly air came out from upstairs and said in a gentle and refined manner, "Hello, I am the librarian. I heard that you are planning to purchase a thousand extracurricular books. May I ask what's going on?"
He said this subconsciously, glancing at the old man, because no matter how smart and precocious Gu Tingyun was, it was obvious at a glance that he was still a child.
Moreover, the old man's imposing presence and the aura of someone who had long held a high position made him hard to ignore.
"Tingyun, you talk to the curator." Grandpa Gu wanted to train his grandson, so he just stood by with his hands behind his back, letting Gu Tingyun communicate with the curator on his own.
Gu Tingyun nodded and said calmly, "Hello, curator. We would like to buy a thousand extracurricular books to donate to the Capital University. We hope you can help us choose some."
Upon hearing that the donation was for the Capital University, the curator readily agreed: "No problem! What kind of books would you like to buy?"
Gu Tingyun said calmly, "The content of the books should be as broad as possible and highly specialized. There should be about five books of each type, for a total of two hundred."
"Okay, I'll draft a reading list for you first, see if it works for you."
Because of Gu Tingyun's calm and capable demeanor, the curator did not treat him like a child.
I got stuck on the last 300 words for over half an hour, it was so frustrating.
