Master Gu couldn't imagine that soon after Gu Xiaoshan came back from O City, the situation changed. He still asked Gu Xiaoshan to meet at the private club. The private tea room was still decorated in the old days, Master Gu was still sitting on the wooden bat couch. Gu Xiaoshan still pinched the stopwatch and pushed open the door at the appointed time, showing his precise control of time—this is also a habit he has unconsciously developed under the years of training by Master Gu.
Precise, disciplined, and crisp.
Master Gu glanced at the stool next to him, and said with a smile, "Here you come? Sit down!"
This time, Gu Xiaoshan was uncharacteristically, he didn't sit on the low stool, but sat on the other end of the wooden couch, pouring tea on his own, sitting on an equal footing with his father.
Master Gu was startled, but he didn't say anything, he just said, "You handled the mountain fire in O City well."
"It should be. After all, I am the CEO." Gu Xiaoshan replied with a smile.
Master Gu also laughed: "It's just a matter of the project, why did it change so much? Within two days, Shu Jingyi was kicked out?"
"No, he quit voluntarily." Gu Xiaoshan smiled lightly, "Didn't you read the agreement? He signed it himself, and he was deeply sorry for the "breach of contract" and expressed his willingness to compensate. But in my opinion, You have to forgive others and forgive others, and it’s not rare for him to compensate or not, but it’s a good thing that the gambling cards can be kept. Isn’t it for this reason that we cooperated with him?”
Master Gu added: "Then what about the supply of guns for our hunting ground in O City?"
Gu Xiaoshan said: "That is about to expire anyway. Isn't it more convenient for us to go to Jiuman directly? There is no middleman to make the difference!"
"Hehe, you're doing things more and more neatly." Master Gu's wrinkled mouth drew an indifferent arc, "It's just such a big decision, why don't you discuss it with the board of directors?"
"I think my decision is very good, and the board of directors has too many constraints on me, which is not conducive to my overall planning." Gu Xiaoshan also spoke directly, holding the Sancai bowl full of tea soup in his hand, smiling but It is harmless to humans and animals.
Master Gu thumped in his heart: "What do you mean?"
Gu Xiaoshan said: "Ah, I was wrong. I just finished dealing with Tang Guoguo's final inheritance today... You know, such a large inheritance, the disputes and procedures are very cumbersome. It is finally completed today, and I will inherit it." took all of her property—and Gu’s shareholding.”
"What do you mean?" With the same sentence, Master Gu's tone became a little unstable. He obviously couldn't believe that Gu Xiaoshan would use such a method.
Gu Xiaoshan said again: "You have been careless for many years, and you are old, but I am different."
"What do you mean?" Master Gu raised his voice.
"Many shareholders trust me even more," Gu Xiaoshan said with a slight smile, "plus the original equity in my hand, and Tang Guoguo's legacy..."
"That's enough!" Master Gu's voice became sharp, and it didn't sound like a middle-aged man's voice. It sounded a bit miserable. Gu Xiaoshan felt a little sore in his heart when he heard it.
Master Gu fell silent, staring at Gu Xiaoshan in front of him with cloudy eyes. Gu Xiaoshan is indeed young, strong and popular, and it is not surprising that he can attract enough shareholders. After all, Gu Xiaoshan's own equity and Tang Guoguo's income are already around 30%, and Master Gu has 33.3%. With Gu Xiaoshan's reputation accumulated over the years, it would be effortless to recruit one or two shareholders holding more than 3% of the shares to compete with him.
Master Gu smiled coldly: "I didn't expect you to be so impetuous. If you have such a heart, you should hold a shareholders' meeting and kick me out of the board of directors. Then you will be prepared. Now you tell me, don't you want to scare the snake? Do you think Is there nothing I can do?"
"You are right. If I want to force you to quit the board of directors, I should catch you by surprise." Gu Xiaoshan said lightly, "I didn't do it because I didn't intend to."
Master Gu squinted his eyes and looked at his son - this familiar yet unfamiliar son: "Then what do you mean?"
Gu Xiaoshan said: "I mean, the most important thing in a family is harmony. It's the same in business."
After finishing speaking, Gu Xiaoshan drank the tea soup in the tea bowl, stood up, and said, "I still have work and I need to go back. After all, I also pay attention to the balance between work and life now, so I have to work hard. After work, I have to talk to Renzi Life."
Master Gu slapped the tea table with such force that the tea bowl on the table almost fell off. Gu Xiaoshan was also surprised by this, he really couldn't believe that his father would lose his composure like this.
"You idiot!" Master Gu cursed loudly.
Gu Xiaoshan was still surprised just now, but now he is shocked.
Mr. Gu has always been restrained, polite and courteous, and he treats his family members with a hint of rustiness, how can he behave like this? Master Gu said tremblingly, "I'm doing it for your own good! If you want the company, you can take it! You have this ability, why wouldn't dad be willing to give it to you? But how can you entrust your lifelong happiness to someone who doesn't like you?" Reliable libertine? Are you crazy? Do you want to end up like me?"
Gu Xiaoshan was so shocked that he took a step back. He suddenly remembered Renzi's words, Renzi said that Mr. Gu did not intervene for anything else, but because he was worried about his happiness. Gu Xiaoshan sneered, now that I see it, the idiot Renzi is right, but he claims to be a smart person, but he never thought of it
No, it's not that he didn't think of it, it's that he didn't want to guess like this. He wanted a reassuring reason to hurt his father, to avenge his indifference and harshness to himself for so many years.
He and his father, to a certain extent, actually had a tacit understanding.
After the father's outburst at that moment, the atmosphere between the two unexpectedly fell silent. Like so many years in the past, father and son have never said a word of sincerity, and what they say must be rational, beneficial and beneficial.
They looked at each other, one young, one old, standing by the openwork window. The afternoon sun shines through the glass, and the branches and leaves of the Brazilian iron tree sway slightly in the wind.
Dust floats in the air.
I don't know how long it took before Gu Xiaoshan said: "He and I are serious about each other. It's not what you worried about." When Gu Xiaoshan said this, his voice was also tense.
Master Gu shook his head slightly: "How can I believe it?"
"Time," Gu Xiaoshan said, "time will tell everything."
Master Gu raised his eyes and looked at Gu Xiaoshan. Gu Xiaoshan also looked at him with eyes full of deep meaning, but the softness in his eyes was in stark contrast to the sharpness of his tone, and he said in a resolute almost ruthless tone: "But Renzi doesn't need to prove anything to you."
The toughness doesn't need to prove to anyone that he has changed and is a dedicated lover. The same goes for Gu Xiaoshan.
They trust each other, love each other, and that's enough.
Most of the people who knew about their relationship maintained an attitude similar to Master Gu's, thinking that these two flamboyant and rich young masters would not last long. But few people sit with their buttocks so crooked like Mr. Gu, so they must think that it must be Yu Yunren's side that went wrong first. Maybe many people think that Gu Xiaoshan is more attractive, and maybe they will cheat first.
They did not explain anything to others.
As Gu Xiaoshan said, they don't need to bother to explain to anyone, time will prove everything.
In the first two or three years they were together, many people said that gradually, in five, six, seven, and eight years, everyone also regarded them as model couples. It has been ten years now, and in the eyes of everyone, they are a couple who "can't beat the wind".
After that meeting with Gu Xiaoshan, Mr. Gu stopped interfering in his son's affairs - not only emotional matters, but also official affairs. Master Gu's attitude towards Yu Yunren was as kind as before, as if the previous rift had never happened. Renzi is the same as before, respecting and loving him as a close elder, and they are very harmonious with each other.
Renzi also occasionally stays with Gu Xiaoshan at Gu's house, but unfortunately he doesn't fit in with the atmosphere of this family, and feels aggrieved every time. To say that Mr. Gu and Gu Xiaowu treated him badly would be wronging him. Both Mr. Gu and Gu Xiaowu were very considerate in their hospitality. But he just felt uncomfortable in Gu's house, probably because he was not speculative.
Gu Xiaoshan comforted Renzi and said, "It's okay, our family is like this."
In fact, Gu Xiaoshan is not used to staying at Yu's house for a short time. Of course, Master Yu and Yu Yuntao would not be rude to Gu Xiaoshan, and after so many years, they are considered to be very affectionate to him. It is not an artificial reception, but a real preferential treatment. However, Gu Xiaoshan is still very uncomfortable with the atmosphere of Yu's family, so every time he goes to live for a while, it is just coping.
In the final analysis, the scene of two people alone is the most comfortable.
Occasionally, Gu Xiaoshan will also spare time to travel with Renzi, but it usually takes about a week, so it won't take too long. After all, Gu Xiaoshan has a lot of things to do, and Renzi understands this very well.
This time in Country C, Gu Xiaoshan took a month to accompany Renzi, which really flattered Renzi. What surprised Renzi even more was that he found that 20 days in this month were enjoyed by him 10 years ago.
On the morning of the 21st day of the trip, Renzi woke up and finally understood everything.
The opportunity for him to fall in love with Gu Xiaoshan in 2028 was not a dream, but a reality.
He didn't have a ridiculous dream - the reality is even more ridiculous than this, he crossed over!
So, he walked out of the bedroom with his slippers on, looked at the worried Gu Xiaoshan, and said, "Ah, it's okay, I remembered it."
Gu Xiaoshan looked at Yu Yunren suspiciously: "Remember?" Gu Xiaoshan recalled the past 20 days, and there was indeed something wrong with Renzi, as if he really lost his memory. Yesterday, Renzi also agreed to see a doctor with him, and said he remembered this morning
Gu Xiaoshan said, "What do you remember?" His tone was like an interrogation.
Renzi is no longer the ignorant person he was ten years ago. He is very familiar with Gu Xiaoshan now, and occasionally he can play some pranks to trick Gu Xiaoshan. Renzi took Gu Xiaoshan's hand and said, "In two days, we are going to Tongzi's banquet."
Seeing Renzi's calm expression and normal conversation, Gu Xiaoshan gradually felt at ease: "Before that, you really pretended to have amnesia to play me?"
The toughness blinked: "Guess?"
Gu Xiaoshan really had a headache: "If it is true, then this is the most successful one of your many cheap and boring pranks over the years!"
In the end, Gu Xiaoshan canceled the appointment with the doctor, and made another phone call to make arrangements, so that the plan for this trip continued as usual. On the day when it was time to go to Mu Chutong's appointment, Renzi got up early in the morning, combed his hair while picking out the clothes in the closet, and said, "How do you see me wearing this dress?"
Gu Xiaoshan said with a smile: "This is a banquet hosted by Mu Chutong, so you want to dress up in such a way as to overwhelm the host?"
The tough guy smiled and said, "Of course!" The tough guy picked up the gold-stamped invitation card and read to the words on it: "This is a party I spent a lot of money on in the castle. Please pay attention to the image of the guests. You better dress like a prince, or please forgive me for not being welcome!"
With that said, Renzi still put on the prepared jacquard embroidered tuxedo, from the shirt, vest to the coat, all in one set. The dark black coat has a dragonfly-shaped gemstone brooch on the chest. He looked at himself in the mirror, and was a little worried about whether he would really "overwhelm the host". Turning around, he saw Gu Xiaoshan coming out of the cloakroom, wearing a three-piece suit with a blue-purple gradient, the color is like a dream like a mermaid . The tough man was taken aback, and said, "You... are you going to sing an opera?"
Gu Xiaoshan smiled, and while putting on the sapphire cufflinks studded with diamonds, he said with a smile: "This is called 'dressing like a prince'!"
With such Gu Xiaoshan by his side, Renzi no longer worries about overdressing himself.
After such a toss, it was already night when they arrived in the mountains. The car drove up along the winding mountain road. Under the shade of greenery, the outline of an old-fashioned manor could be vaguely seen, and the pointed red roof under the brilliant starry sky was extraordinary. It was originally an ancient castle, which was restored to what it is now.
Renzi looked at it with wide eyes and said, "Now Tongzi is worth a lot, and he still lives in the castle?"
Gu Xiaoshan smiled: "Mu Chutong is Jiuman's heart and soul, what's the point of living in a castle? Being the king of the mountain is enough!"
"Don't say that, Tongzi hates people saying that he relies on men. He gets rich by himself."
"Hehe." Gu Xiaoshan disagreed.
There was no one on the mountain road, so it was naturally smooth, and soon they drove to the gate of the manor. This is an extremely beautiful English-style manor, probably because the tough man was dazzled by Uncle Jingyi's manor before, so Gu Xiaoshan arranged it better than Uncle Jingyi's manor, but he couldn't see clearly in the night.
Mu Chutong was not dressed as grandly as the two of them, so he only smiled and led them to the garden. There are already a bunch of old acquaintances in the garden, even Yu Yuntao and Zhixuan are there, they only talk with their ears, they are very intimate.
Yu Yunren hadn't greeted them yet, but was looking at the garden scenery. Although the night is dark, there are many bright colored lights in the garden. It is late autumn now, and it is even more frosty in the mountains of country C, and the roses have all fallen. But here are ingeniously planted with frost-resistant flowers of various colors, and most of them are mandarin duck-colored varieties. A plump double-petaled flower bud is dyed in two colors, which is really beautiful. The sound of the organ in the distance is even more romantic. Seeing this situation, Renzi was quite happy, and only said: "Isn't this too beautiful?"
Gu Xiaoshan smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
"What's the use if I like it?" Renzi said enviously in his tone, "This is Tongzi's manor."
"This is yours." Gu Xiaoshan said suddenly.
The tough man was taken aback: "What?"
Gu Xiaoshan said with a smile: "Even I belong to you, so what's so strange that this Zhuangzi belongs to you?"
Renzi was surprised and delighted, and was about to say something, but he heard a "bang", which startled him, and when he looked up, there were fireworks blooming all over the sky, more beautiful than the frost-repelling flowers in the garden .
"You, you..." Renzi lowered his head and saw that Gu Xiaoshan was already kneeling in front of him, holding a velvet box in his hand, and the shining diamond ring inside was brighter than fireworks.
Renzi pinched himself heavily, and it hurt very much.
He burst into tears, and he didn't know if he pinched himself.
In the end, Yu Yunren understood that whether it is 2018 or 2028, the love between Yu Yunren and Gu Xiaoshan is not a dream.
