As a student, Lin Xu shuttled between the dormitory, classroom, and laboratory building. Apart from the time for dating, he had no entertainment at all.
However, compared with his previous life, he was expressionless most of the time when he was alone, but now he pursed his lips and smiled slightly.
His happiness index seems to be very high for his current life.
In the eyes of his classmates, Lin Xu is simply admired to the point of being admired. Their school is already competitive enough. Even so, everyone will be lazy and relax, have fun and play, and become cool boys and girls after leaving school. There are not many like him.
They thought that it might be because Lin Xu's family was ordinary, so he could bear the loneliness. After all, he did work at a desk before college, otherwise how could he be so outstanding.
During the National Day, local roommates also invited Lin Xu to play.
Lu Zhe looks like a rough guy. Who knows that his grandparents are both university professors at a university in the capital? He still calls himself an ordinary person. To be honest, for many alumni, his conditions are not very good.
But they also understand that it is much better than Lin Xu.
Worried that he would be lonely in the dormitory, Lu Zhe invited him to his home.
"No, I have to see my family during the National Day." Lin Xu said while packing his luggage.
They also knew that Lin Xu's family worked in the capital, so they didn't persuade him anymore.
"I'll send you my home address, you can come and visit me." Lu Zhe said enthusiastically.
His family lives in the city center, and he often jokes that his home is old and dilapidated, but everyone knows that such an old and dilapidated house is worth a lot of money.
Of course, Lu Zhe would not joke with Lin Xu in this way, and several people in the dormitory took care of Lin Xu's self-esteem. But there were a few times when he was excited and he couldn't control himself. He seemed to have a sense of superiority even though he didn't mean it that way. However, Lin Xu didn't react at all, and sometimes even curiously asked what they were talking about.
Everyone admired him more sincerely.
"Yeah, okay." Lin Xu nodded, but he probably wouldn't go.
Zhizhi was waiting for this opportunity to stay with him, but he had to go home. She was already complaining that she would rather spend time with her boyfriend during the holidays.
"Are you leaving today? Do you want me to take you there? My mother is here to pick me up." Lu Zhe asked again.
After all, taking a taxi is quite expensive, and it's too uncomfortable to squeeze into the subway with luggage.
"My brother should come to pick me up." Lin Xu smiled.
Originally, Lin Xu asked for the address and went there himself. He didn't spend much money, so he still had a lot of his previous bonus left. But Lin Shen took the initiative to pick him up, so Lin Xu had to give up.
They went to the dormitory gate together, and Lu Zhe's mother and Lin Shen arrived almost one after the other. Lu
Zhe's mother saved money and bought a Mercedes-Benz not long ago, which was not bad. Compared with her, Lin Shen's Santana was much more low-key and simple.
"Then I'll go first." Lin Xu said hello and got in the car.
Lu Zhe's mother looked at Lin Xu for a few times, then asked Lu Zhe curiously: "Is he your friend?" Why does he look so handsome.
"It's the academic genius in our dormitory. He's awesome."
When Lu Zhe's mother heard this, she remembered that her son had told her that he was hardworking and studious. He was admitted from another province. He had caused an unexpected disaster some time ago.
"What a good child. If he stays in the capital, his life will definitely get better and better." Lu Zhe's mother sighed.
Lu Zhe nodded in agreement.
"No one has bothered you recently, right, Ah Xu?" Lin Shen asked, referring to the matter of Yan Yang.
"No." Lin Xu shook his head, not to worry Lin Shen. In fact, something big had happened.
Yan Yang's team was eager to clarify the past black history, and they tried their best to produce various evidences and timelines to prove that Yan Yang was not parachuted in. Rather, the captain had already left the company before him, and he became the new captain after passing the assessment.
As for the previous high school incident, it is not unforgivable to make some mistakes during adolescence, and Yan Yang also apologized to the public.
In short, the Yan Yang team itself is in a hurry and loses hair every day.
This has nothing to do with Lin Xu, but a few days ago, Yan Yang’s boyfriend popped up in the group, begging Lin Xu to agree to his friend application, hoping that the two sides can have a good chat. This
is the first time his boyfriend has come forward since Zoe debuted, and the group members also found out that the two of them really went underground.
Lin Xu has a cold personality, and there were too many messy friend applications, so he didn’t agree to any. He didn’t read the group messages, and it took a long time before he found out.
And in fact, he didn’t want to have any contact with Yan Yang and the entertainment industry, so he didn’t care.
Zhao Tao was worried that Yan Yang would be so cold, and his small company would also suffer a lot of losses. So he wanted Lin Xu to express his attitude in public, and the two sides would shake hands and make peace. After all, Lin Xu was just an ordinary person, so it was okay to give him some benefits.
Who knew that Lin Xu was so noble, and he immediately started to hate him.
Yan Yang never told Zhao Tao that Gu Jinzhi was in the group. After all, if he said it out,
it would be like trying to cover up the truth, so he caused trouble. He had already guessed in his heart that it was not a rival company that was messing with him, but Gu Jinzhi's revenge, but he couldn't afford to offend her, so he decided to take advantage of her.
However, without Yan Yang's knowledge, the news that Lin Xu was on the list of rich people spread in the group. There is no evidence, only that he saw it with his own eyes.
Most of the group members do not believe it. They think that Lin Xu is not that kind of person, and her boyfriend seems to be quite rich.
As for what Zhao Tao said, that Lin Xu is one of the richest people on the list and one of the richest second-generation people in the capital, it sounds like nonsense, and they are not from the same world at all.
But there are also those who stand up.
"I feel that Lin Xu is a bit too aggressive. Does he think he is great because of his high education? In fact, Zoe has not made any big mistakes. He has been chased and scolded by netizens..." "
Besides, who knows if being kept is true..." These are what some sour 1 said.
"Uh, are you jealous of her good looks?"
Gu Jinzhi was online 24 hours a day, and soon saw these comments. He was immediately furious, and then he found out that Yan Yang and the others were playing tricks again!
He hated this word the most, and it was used to describe his boyfriend. He calmed down for a while. In fact, there were not many idiots who made such remarks. Most of them were trying to deliberately attract his boyfriend's attention.
It was also because he had a problem with his brain that he exposed his girlfriend under the eyes of the public. What's the fun of surfing? It will be impossible for these dead gays to know the news about his boyfriend in the future, let alone chat.
He simply disbanded the group and quit his internet addiction.
He went to comfort his dear Ah Xu: "What they said was too harsh! Don't take it to heart." But he can't be blamed for this. It's not his fault that he's rich!
Lin Xu: "? What?"
Gu Jinzhi shut up tactfully. He wouldn't ask for trouble.
"How many days will you stay at home?"
"I don't know, one or two days..." Lin Xu replied.
"Then go back to school quickly, or come to my house." Gu Jinzhi arranged happily.
Lin Xu's heart skipped a beat and his ears turned red. There was no need... so soon...
Gu Jinzhi happened to be ordered by his brother to attend a banquet again. If Ah Xu didn't come home, he would definitely turn it down. What's the point of a coming-of-age ceremony?
But since he was free, he would just go.
The main reason was that Gu Jinzhi was a little scared of the Lin family, the host of the banquet. He had met Lin Shen from the Lin family several times before, and he always felt that the man didn't like him very much. Now there was a younger brother, and Gu Jinzhi was not interested either. The
Lin family was famous for their pragmatism in the circle. Chairman Lin and his wife were both tall and strong, not very gentle. The educated Lin Shen was a little better, but he was also fierce and aggressive, with a knife hidden in his smile, and his family was full of tall and wild people.
It was said that the Lin couple once directly used dialect to curse with the director of the rival family in the street, and it was very spicy.
His brother even taught him not to get too close to them, and just go there to eat and show his face. After all, it was the first time that the Lin family had held such a grand banquet in so many years, and it seemed that they took it very seriously, and they all had to give them face.
"I know. Xu Zhou and I can just find a place to sit and go." Gu Jinzhi replied.
"Xu Zhou didn't have an invitation." His brother said quickly.
"?"
"They invited the children of the eldest branch of the Xu family. They are all gentle and erudite." In short, Lin Shen, who was in charge of the gate, looked down on Xu Zhou, a jerk, and they didn't have much friendship.
"Then... can I go?" Gu Jinzhi was stunned. He was very self-aware.
"Don't underestimate your brother." After all, the two families have cooperated before, and Lin Shen would not give him face.
"I have never met his brother before, and I don't think he is a gentleman. Why does he ask for so much?" Gu Jinzhi complained. Guests have to be picky.
"Don't say such things when the time comes. I'm afraid you will be beaten." Gu Qi warned him.
You can't do this, you can't do that, and you have to avoid people. That's too boring!
Lin Xu had never known where his family lived until he saw Lin Shen driving further and further out of the city. He sighed inwardly, and felt a little guilty for renting a house in such a remote place.
"Brother, I still have some money on my card..." To be precise, there are still hundreds of thousands.
Originally, Lin Xu wanted to use it for his studies, but now it seems that there are various scholarship subsidies and a policy of full tuition exemption, so he can't spend too much, so he might as well give back to his family.
"Huh?" Lin Shen looked at him curiously. Hasn't it all been spent yet? He was also thinking of getting a secondary card for his brother after the National Day. Of course, he also had to limit Ah Xu's spending a little bit, and he couldn't be so extravagant. Now it seems that Ah Xu really doesn't have as much money as before.
The further he drove to the suburbs, the more complicated Lin Xu's mood became. Suddenly, the road ahead opened up and a magnificent scene appeared. The colorful neon lights looked very beautiful. A large group of luxurious hotels appeared on the side of the mountain, and there were several flying big characters at the entrance.
"Jia Shang Resort."
"This is the most successful luxury resort hotel developed by our company. The rooms are almost never vacant." Lin Shen explained, but in fact it is far more than that. It is a huge challenge to reserve a mountain view room or a lake view room.
Isn't that quite expensive... Can internal staff get a discount?
"Brother, it doesn't have to be like this..." Lin Xu felt that it was a welcome gift from his family, but he felt it was completely unnecessary. Not long ago, Lin Shen said that he would give him a coming-of-age ceremony, and he thought it was a reunion dinner at home.
Lin Shen did not explain further until they drove to the hotel parking lot.
There seemed to be few guests in this resort today. It was empty everywhere, but also very lively. Everywhere was well-decorated, and staff were coming and going, as if there was some kind of activity...
He followed and stepped into the spacious lobby, which had a lake view and an artificial beach outside. The swimming pool was crystal clear.
Lin Xu had some impression that this seemed to be the place where Lin Shen had shared his friends before, and it was also the place where he posted fake photos. Compared to the photos, the real scene was even more incredible.
Suddenly, he saw Lin's father and mother, whom he had not seen for a long time. The two were dressed simply and sat on the sofa chatting idly. Some of Lin's father's bad habits of picking his feet had not changed.
Lin Xu was a little restrained. After calling his parents, he didn't know what to say.
Lin's father and mother were obviously not very good at coaxing children, so they stiffened their necks and said dryly: "We will hold your coming-of-age ceremony here tonight. Let's go and clean up first."
Lin Xu felt something was wrong. Then Lin Shen answered his doubts. Maybe Lin's father and mother didn't know how to start.
"My family does sell houses, but... not sales." Lin Shen said concisely. He was actually embarrassed because it seemed like he had deceived his brother.
Lin Xu was a little confused. As smart as he was, he quickly understood the implication of Lin Shen's words.
He just didn't expect it and felt a little magical. It's not that he was very happy. After all, Lin Xu was a real rich second generation in his previous life, and his value to him was not here.
"Ah Xu, are you angry?" Lin Shen asked when he saw that his brother's face was not right. He
must
be angry. He had kept it a secret from him for so long. Giving those high-sounding reasons for his safety seemed not enough to convince him, even if they were the truth. Lin Xu shook his head. He had no right to be angry. Instead, he felt guilty, as if he had taken away Lin Xu's rich life. But since it had happened, it was useless to look back.
Then Lin Shen asked him again: "Ah Xu, do you want to come to the company for experience?"
Lin Xu shook his head decisively: "Brother, I'm not interested in these. I want to study academics." Apart from not coveting everything of the original owner, Lin Xu could do nothing else.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Shen patted his shoulder.
"There will be a lot of guests coming tonight, and we'll introduce you to everyone. Why don't you go and clean up first?"
Since it was an important occasion, Lin Xu couldn't refuse it even if he didn't like it very much. He would just stay for two days and then go back to school, so he would just attend as a nobody.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the hotel entrance was crowded with people. There were countless luxury cars parked on the hillside, and the parking lot was full.
People only now found out that Lin had a child, and they all tried their best to get an invitation. Lin didn't often participate in social activities, but he was strong in the real estate industry, not to mention that the child of the right age would be easy to get married in the future.
Gu Jinzhi sat idly in Gu Qi's co-pilot seat. He still had chestnut hair and had a popular hairstyle for male protagonists in Korean dramas, revealing a smooth forehead and an earring on his ear. He was a pure flower boy.
Last time, because of scalp allergies, he didn't dare to do his hair too often.
"Why are there so many people..." Gu Jinzhi was so annoyed with parking, holding his chin.
"Do you remember what I said?" Gu Qi reiterated.
"Got it. Say hello to General Manager Lin and Director Lin and Deputy Director Lin first, and then hide in a corner tactfully." Gu Jinzhi replied lazily. He wanted to chat with his boyfriend to kill time, but the other party seemed to be busy with the reunion and had no time to reply.
"Brother, do you think the second child of the Lin family will also be tall and strong?" Gu Jinzhi was quite curious.
If he looks similar to his brother, he is still quite handsome, but scary. If he looks like his parents, then... a little rough.
"Why do you care about others... Why do you care so much?" Gu Qi raised his eyebrows speechlessly.
"Don't talk nonsense! I am obsessed with our Ah Xu, and it will not be swayed by external things." Gu Jinzhi quickly retorted. He didn't care about the matching of family backgrounds.
Gu Qi didn't reply him. Although he agreed, he was not very optimistic. After getting tired of each other, one of them will change first. As a brother, he only hoped that it would be Gu Jinzhi who would change first, although it would be a bit unfair to the child. Finally,
the car was parked and the two registered at the door.
Suddenly, Gu Qi saw a familiar figure again. The other party also looked at him with a flattering smile, which made Gu Qi frown.
"Why? Brother, do you know him?" Gu Jinzhi watched the show.
"Last time at the school celebration, he wanted to be your boyfriend." Gu Qi said lightly to provoke.
Gu Jinzhi, who was smiling at first, suddenly turned cold and was about to go over and beat him up in anger. It was only because Gu Qi stopped him that he stopped.
"Fuck, wait for me." Gu Jinzhi frowned and was still angry. He was thinking that after the formalities were over, he would take this wretched man out and beat him up.
"It's someone else's place, don't mess around, anyway, your boyfriend is fine." This time it was Gu Qi's turn to tease him.
"Are you still my brother?!" Gu Jinzhi bumped him hard and went in angrily alone. How could a brother not care about the best for his younger brother?
Gu Qi touched his nose awkwardly and smiled politely at the acquaintances next to him, what an ignorant brat.
Gu Jinzhi found a secluded place to sit as soon as he came in. He was too lazy to say hello to everyone. His brother could do whatever he wanted.
And Gu Qi didn't force him. As long as they were on the list, they were welcome.
Suddenly he saw Lin Shen, who was smiling broadly. This was the first time he saw a genuine smile from the other person.
"Boss Gu, we meet again." Lin Shen greeted him.
Gu Qi just treated it as a relaxing night. After all, it was just a coming-of-age ceremony for a half-grown boy: "Yes, I finally get to meet Boss Lin's younger brother. My Jinzhi said that Boss Lin's younger brother must be as good as you." Gu Qi took the opportunity to save his brother's image.
Lin Shen was really happy, and he also felt that Gu Jinzhi had finally spoken like a human being.
"He is much more sensible and good than me, and he likes academics more." Lin Shen was very proud.
After all, their family was recognized as a family of rough people, but they didn't expect to grow a good root.
"Ah, really? Hahaha." Gu Qi just listened. Lin Shen was one or two grades lower than him. At that time, he went to a 985 university, which was considered good in the Lin family's environment. However, it was not worth talking about it. Genes can still explain the problem. But looking at the chairman and vice chairman of Lin Group, you can roughly guess what he looks like.
"Well, he will be out soon." Lin Shen smiled and looked into the hotel.
His younger brother inherited the height of the family, with long arms and legs, and a thin and gentle figure. He couldn't be more elegant. Lin Shen was worried about how to turn down all the blind dates in the future. After all, his younger brother must be very popular.
Lin Xu wore a black tuxedo, with exquisite hair from head to toe, handsome, and silver cufflinks on his cuffs, with a noble temperament.
The moment he came out, the lights outside the hotel seemed too tacky.
The little idiot who first saw him opened his mouth in surprise. After all, their guess about the second son of the Lin family was not like this. How could he have such a face like in a painting that people dare not touch? Despite this, no one wanted to go up and talk to him, especially the noble ladies of the mother's generation. They all have daughters, and even if they don't have daughters, they still have nieces.
Lin Xu was extremely embarrassed at the moment, until his brother waved to him and asked him to come over to recognize the people.
Gu Qi glanced at it out of curiosity, and the wine glass in his hand spilled directly, and the scattered wine spilled on the corner of his clothes. He didn't have time to react, so he immediately apologized to Lin Shen: "Sorry, I'll go and deal with it."
He strode away, and had no energy to deal with his suit. Instead, he made a quick decision to call Gu Jinzhi.
"What's wrong, brother? Where are you? I'm coming to say hello to them now." After the anger subsided, Gu Jinzhi didn't make a fuss, kicked the bushes and frowned.
"Don't come over! Don't show up in front of Lin Shen and...his brother." Gu Qi didn't have time to explain.
Otherwise, he was worried that his brother would be single tomorrow.
"Ah? Why?"
"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to break up with your boyfriend, cover your face. Where are you, I'll come to find you." Gu Qi took a deep breath and said.
He had committed a sin, allowing his brother to marry someone who was above his station. In the past, he could still support Gu Jinzhi. If he were to battle with Lin Shen now, it was unclear who would die and who would be injured. Moreover, anyone with a blind eye could see that Lin Shen absolutely looked down on his unlucky brother.
Not to mention, now he also felt that his brother was not worthy of her. They were a good match in terms of social status, but not in terms of personality.
However, for the happiness of Gu Jinzhi, Gu Qi had no choice but to take the risk. After all, this deal was too good. He would not have to worry about his brother being targeted by some villains in the future, after all, in this relationship, Lin Xu was now the only one who was wronged.
Gu Jinzhi looked at the hung up phone and subconsciously covered her face with her sleeves to avoid other people. Then she felt like a thief. What was there that he couldn't face? She cleared her throat and sat up straight.
She was guarding this corner, and she really didn't dare to move. The boyfriend thing was no joke.
