After Sutuo's activities ended, and when he returned to school, it was obvious that everyone had not recovered.
Early on Monday morning, when Gu Xi arrived in the classroom, she saw Dong Mingming lying on the table with a hopeless expression.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xi looked at Dong Mingming and asked.
At this time, Dong Mingming slowly turned his head and said faintly, "Tell you some unfortunate news."
"what?"
"The final exam is coming soon." Dong Mingming said.
Hearing this, Gu Xi raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it always like this?"
The time for the final exam is fixed, just two weeks after the Affiliated High School Sutuo activities.
"No, no, this time is different," Dong Mingming propped himself up and said with a 'tell you a ghost story' expression: "Informant news, this time the final exam is the city-wide unified exam."
The city's unified examination also means that the test scores will be ranked in the city. Isn't this the same as the city's public execution!
Dong Mingming complained in his heart.
After speaking, seeing Gu Xi's expression still indifferent, Dong Mingming suddenly reacted.
"I almost forgot, we are different." Dong Mingming glanced at Gu Xi resentfully and sighed.
For perverted academic gods like Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan, the city's ranking is not a public execution, it should be a public exhibition!
"But the city's rankings, aren't you nervous at all?" Dong Mingming shook Gu Xi's hand again and asked.
Hearing this, Gu Xixiang thought about it for two seconds before saying, "Don't be nervous."
Dong Mingming: "Well, we are really different."
With that said, Dong Mingming lay on the table and howled again: "Ah, what should I do, I already have a hunch how miserable the black two weeks in the future will be."
The city's unified examination, although theoretically the test paper will be simpler than the attached high school, but after all, there are so many 'competitors' out there. They learn!
Looking at Dong Mingming's slouched appearance, Gu Xi was a little ashamed: After all, this is also a scholar, can you be a bit of a scholar.
"Otherwise, I'll give you five or three points?" Gu Xi suggested solemnly.
Hearing this, Dong Mingming's face turned even darker: "No, you can keep it for yourself." She didn't want to make things worse.
While talking, Dong Mingming saw that Gu Xi didn't seem to be worried at all. He was still looking at his phone, so he couldn't help but come over curiously.
"Gu Xi, what are you watching? Is there any gossip recently?"
"No." Gu Xi shook her head, she was just watching the news, to be precise, the news about the Lin family.
—Lin seems to have encountered a lot of trouble recently.
First, a batch of transport vehicles and ships were found to be out of trial, and then it was found that Lin's tampered with some of the goods orders in order to avoid paying taxes, and made yin and yang contracts.
After that, it was picked out that Lin's Ming Ming was operating a formal freight logistics company, but in fact, many informal small logistics companies were invested by the Lin family. These small logistics companies played edge balls and pretended to be Subsidiaries of regular freight companies, or directly touch porcelain regular freight companies on the logo name, and then quote low prices in the name of various 'preferential activities' and 'anniversary activities' to attract orders.
But in fact, the transportation guarantee of these companies is extremely low, the loss rate and damage rate are very high, and they disappear directly in the event of an accident...
This is indeed what Lin Yize did, and Lin Yize even accumulated a considerable amount of gray wealth because of such a series of operations.
However, in the novel, such a method is glorified and said to be a 'low-cost business model that conforms to the diversification of the market'.
In the novel, Lin Yize's development is smooth, and he has never encountered such troubles as he is now.
"Could it be..." Gu Xi's eyes flashed slightly, and Gu Shao subconsciously thought of in his mind.
"This Lin Shi is going to be cool." Dong Mingming also muttered after reading the news on Gu Xi's mobile phone and the comments of the netizens below.
Gu Xi shook his head uncertainly: "Not necessarily."
After all, Lin Yize is the male protagonist in the novel. Who knows if there will be any protection from the protagonist's halo, and then he will survive this wave of adversity unharmed.
Gu Xi secretly sighed and put the phone away.
—
After school, Mr. Gu made a special trip for the driver to take Gu Xi, Gu Yanxiao, and Gu Chenyi back to the main house of the Gu family.
When the three returned home, the old man had already prepared a large table of meals, euphemistically called a nutritious meal before the exam.
Not only that, but Mr. Gu also made a special trip to have a room cleaned up, and there were three desks in it, which were specially used to review the exams for the three of them.
It can be seen how much the old man attaches importance to this exam.
—
After dinner, the three of them stood in unison in front of the cleaned-up study room.
Gu Xi tugged at Gu Chenyi's clothes next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Did Grandpa do the same in previous exams?"
"I used to pay attention to it, but it wasn't so exaggerated." Gu Chenyi whispered.
It's just too much to set up such a review room, and to actually hang a countdown board on the wall that says 'there are X days until the final exam'!
Gu Yanxiao, who was beside him, sighed softly, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I guess I heard that this time the city is going to be ranked, and then my grandfather is competing with someone."
I have to say that Gu Yanxiao is the truth.
The fact that Mr. Gu attaches so much importance to his grandson's final exam results this time is indeed a secret comparison with the grandsons of other old friends.
He has blown it all out, if his three precious grandsons fail the exam, what will happen.
So, back at home, Mr. Gu thought about it, and after thinking it over, he made a plan for the three of Gu Xi to review the past and learn new things two weeks before the exam.
Old Man Gu intended to let Gu Xi live in the main house of the Gu family for a while, but Gu Shao rarely refused.
On the other hand, Gu Feng couldn't help but complain about the old man's arrangement.
"Dad made the three of them together, it's weird that they don't affect each other, and he still thought that the three of them could study obediently?" In the study, Gu Feng rubbed his brows and complained.
Gu Shao is noncommittal, he has his own considerations on this matter.
- The Lin family and Song Kexin have made a lot of small moves recently, and Gu Shao has been very busy these days, so it is inevitable that he can't take care of them. Let Gu Xi live in the main house temporarily. On the one hand, there is a sister-in-law to take care of it, and on the other hand, it is safer.
"Let her be here, I can rest assured." Gu Shao said.
Hearing what Gu Shao said, and contacting Gu Shao's intention to suppress the Lin family recently, Gu Feng quickly understood what Gu Shao meant.
"This Lin family," Gu Feng tapped his fingers on the table, snorted coldly, and said with a sullen face, "It's time to tap and tap."
Song Kexin deliberately approached Gu Xi, Gu Feng didn't know, but he knew that the Lin family was trying to get Gu Xi's custody back recently.
They take care of their families and are reasonable, and other matters can be discussed, but if they want to take away Xixi, that is absolutely not allowed.
On this point, the views of the old Gu family are very consistent.
After Gu Feng finished speaking, he heard Gu Shao say in a flat tone, "It's not beating."
Hearing this, Gu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it wasn't a beating, then the Lin family was really going to end.
Gu Feng felt that there was nothing wrong with this.
After all, in the recent period, the Lin family was indeed on the verge of death with a frantic temptation.
Speaking of the Lin family, Gu Feng thought of Gu Yaobai again.
"Gu Yaobai handed over the things in his hand and passed Yang Jiande." Gu Feng lowered his face and said in a deep voice.
Yang Jiande is not Xie Hongbo's person, but because he has the handle in Xie Hongbo's hands, he has to act for Xie Hongbo. Over the years, Xie Hongbo had no connection with Gu Yaobai on the bright side, and the occasional connection was also through this Yang Jiande.
"What are the things, have you seen them?" Gu Shao asked.
"Most of them are the correspondence between Dad and his old friends a few years ago." Gu Feng said, paused, and then whispered: "I don't know how Gu Yaobai got so many."
The earliest part of those letters was 20 years ago. If they were all collected by Gu Yaobai in a planned way, it would prove that Xie Hongbo had probably got in touch with Gu Yaobai by some means more than 20 years ago. , and successfully made Gu Yaobai hostile to the Gu family.
At that time, Gu Yaobai was only ten years old.
Thinking of this, Gu Feng looked solemn.
"It's just a plan." Gu Shao said.
Destroying the Gu family has always been Xie Hongbo's goal, so even Gu Yaobai is only part of his plan.
"That's true." Gu Feng said, sneered again, and said, "However, that Xie probably didn't expect Gu Yaobai to be so sullen this time."
The things in Gu Yaobai's hands should have been handed over to Xie Hongbo long ago.
Although those old Gu's correspondence did not involve any sensitive topics, because some of his old friends are indeed special now, it is not impossible for Xie Hongbo to reverse the black and white and force the Gu family to buckle.
The reason why Xie Hongbo has been inactive is just to find a suitable time to suppress the Gu family in one fell swoop.
But who knew that Gu Yaobai couldn't hold his breath and handed over the things ahead of time.
If those things came out of Xie Hongbo's hands, it might work. After all, Xie Hongbo has been in that position for so many years, and what he said will always be believed.
Now that Gu Yaobai handed it over, I'm afraid it won't be very convincing.
"The thing was stopped at Wang Mu's place, but just in case, I asked Wang Mu to clean up the things inside." I cleared some letters that were not easy to explain.
Hearing this, Gu Shao nodded.
After a pause, Gu Shao asked again, "How much evidence has Big Brother Xie collected?"
"I have collected a lot of evidence about Xie's dark-box operations over the years." Coupled with the things in the hands of Gu Shao and Gu Xuan, the problems of Xie Hongbo's gang could add up to a book.
"It's just," frowning, Gu Feng said again: "It's all a matter of whether it's a small novel or a big one. It's not impossible for Xie to find a few people to come out and take the blame."
"I'm afraid it's almost a critical thing to overthrow Xie." Gu Feng said with a grim expression.
Xie Hongbo was looking for an opportunity to get rid of the Gu family, so why wasn't the Gu family waiting for an opportunity to bring down the opponent.
Gu Shao lowered his eyes and said nothing for a moment.
After a while, Gu Shao said, "What if you add Xie's relationship with those women and Gu Yaobai's affairs?"
"Isn't that Dad..." Gu Feng paused in the middle of the story, "You mean Dad is ready to take action?"
In order to prove his innocence at the beginning, Mr. Gu went to investigate the whole thing. Naturally, he also found out some unclean things about Xie Hongbo in private.
It's just that Gu Qinghua at that time didn't know that Xie Hongbo deliberately framed him, and when Xie Hongbo was his teacher, he concealed those things for the other party.
Now, the hand left by the old man Gu can come in handy.
Gu Shao nodded: "It's very possible."
"There's also the matter of your injury back then."
"Have you found it?" Gu Feng tightened his eyes and looked at Gu Shao.
—In the beginning, in order to harm him, Xie Hongbo created an accident, and that accident not only injured Gu Feng, but also caused great losses to the battalion. give up.
If you can really find evidence pointing to Xie Hongbo, then Xie Hongbo must bear a lot of punishment.
"I found some clues." Gu Shao said, no more.
However, from Gu Shao's attitude, Gu Feng already understood.
…
The conversation between the two ends.
Gu Feng stood up and said, "No, I have to go see the three of them."
He didn't believe that Gu Xi, Gu Chenyi, and Gu Yanxiao could study together obediently.
Obviously, Gu Shao had the same opinion, and also stood up: "I'll go take a look too."
—
When Gu Shao and Gu Feng walked to Gu Xi's study room, they could hear the happy voices of the three of them through the door. Listening to the conversation of the three, it seems that Gu Chenyi and Gu Yanxiao are teaching Gu Xi to play a certain game.
Gu Shao frowned.
Pushing the door open, I saw the three of them, head-to-head, having a good time with their phones.
"You go down the road and jump this way."
"Yes, go this way, it's fine, don't be afraid, the other party is... Dad, Dad."
Gu Yanxiao was still teaching Gu Xi how to sneak attack on the opponent, but halfway through the conversation, when he saw Gu Feng at the door, he got stuck.
Gu Xi and Gu Chenyi also reacted quickly, jumping back to their own position with a 'whoosh', then opened the book in front of them and pretended to look.
The three of them buried their heads, and none of them dared to look at the door. They all acted like they had done something bad and got caught. As long as I didn't admit it, others would take me to the point of no choice.
Looking at the top of the three people's heads, Gu Shao said slowly, "Have you ever learned an idiom?"
The three did not speak.
But he heard Gu Shao say again: "Hide your ears and steal the bell."
"That, we..." Gu Chenyi raised his head cautiously, trying to win leniency for the three of them, but in the end he met the stern eyes of his uncle and second uncle.
"Why, stop pretending?" Gu Feng said solemnly.
Then, Gu Chenyi hesitated for a second.
"And Gu Yanxiao." Gu Feng called Gu Yanxiao's name again.
"..." Gu Yanxiao, who was named, continued to pretend to be dead.
"Xi Xi."
"I've finished my homework." Gu Xi raised her hand subconsciously and whispered.
The other two people on the side also quickly said, "My homework is also finished."
"Me too."
The three of them did their homework fast, so they completed today's homework in less than half an hour after coming here.
However, Mr. Gu gave them the stipulated study time until 9:00, then each person would drink a glass of milk and have free activities for 10 minutes, then review their homework for 30 minutes, wash at 9:40, and then go to bed at 10:00 with the bell turned off on time.
"Have you been grieved yet?" Gu Feng asked.
Three people: "… "
Gu Feng and Gu Shao looked at each other.
"Tell Dad, let's separate the three of them tomorrow." Gu Feng said with a bit of a headache.
Gu Shao agreed.
—
Over there, Mr. Gu, who went out for a walk in the health corner at night, still didn't know that the time he had arranged for his three grandsons to study the science of militarization was a 'disaster' for the game. Back at home, watching the three obediently follow the schedule, the old man expressed his satisfaction.
The old man didn't know, the three of them went back to their room, and none of them went to bed at the prescribed time.
The three first complained to Gu Yanlin about their tragic experience in the group. Then, Gu Xi and Gu Yanlin had a private chat about the 'Tianchuang Contest'.
Different from the youth competition that Gu Xi participated in before, the competition cycle of the 'Tianchuang Competition' is very long, and there will be many rounds of expert review and public display before the finals, which is equivalent to the assessment of the development progress of each group of products.
The next round of review is in two weeks. Although there is plenty of time, according to their plan, it is not easy to increase the performance of 'Xibo' to 40% in the next review.
After discussing the game with Gu Yanlin, Gu Xi wanted to continue to talk about her new ideas. As a result, Gu Yanlin had already started to share with her the things she bought recently.
[Gu Yanlin]: Look, which ones you like, I will bring them back to you when I go back.
Below is a photo of a bunch of gifts that Gu Yanlin was going to buy for Gu Xi.
Looking at the pink color on the screen, Gu Xi felt that she was about to be aesthetically fatigued.
Gu Xi was about to refuse these gifts when the phone suddenly rang.
A string of numbers popped up on the screen of the phone, and at a glance, Gu Xi had already recognized who this string of numbers belonged to.
This is Song Kexin's cell phone number.
This is also the first number Gu Xi has written down since he can remember, followed by Lin Yize's, Zhang Cui, Xu Jiaofeng...
Sadly, it didn't come in handy for her to write it down.
At this moment, looking at the number on the phone, Gu Xi couldn't help frowning.
This is the number that Gu Xi re-applied after she came here. Song Kexin will know her mobile phone number. Gu Xi is not surprised - after all, her mobile phone number is not something that needs to be kept secret, and some students in the high school attached to University A may know it. .
It's just, what is Song Kexin going to do with her
Gu Xi was full of doubts.
