"Gu family's annual meeting?"
Hearing this, Gu Xi's face flashed with surprise.
"Does the Gu family still have an annual meeting?" Gu Xi couldn't help but ask.
Before that, Gu Xi never knew that the Gu family would also have an annual meeting, even if it was not mentioned in the novel.
It sounds like this annual meeting is obviously not as simple as an ordinary family gathering.
Seeing Gu Xi's surprised look, Cui Min in front of him raised his eyebrows, first answered "yes" affirmatively, and then looked at Gu Xi and guessed: "Didn't your father tell you? Don't you think that It's their NTN annual meeting."
Gu Xi nodded blankly.
Seeing this, Cui Min couldn't help but chuckle, and added: "Our Gu family's annual meeting is almost the same as NTN's annual meeting, but the meaning is very different, and it is much more important than NTN's."
"This is the first time that our family Xixi has gone to the annual meeting of the Gu family, so you must work hard!" Cui Min said, looked around at Gu Xi, and couldn't help rubbing Gu Xi's face, her eyes sparkling with emotion: "Why does our family Xixi look so beautiful! It's rare for my little aunt to die."
At this time, Gu Xi had already put on the dress that Cui Min specially prepared for her.
Although this skirt does not look as exaggerated as the one from the previous school performance, it is still exquisite.
The over-the-knee dress with a coat and cloak looks simple and generous, and just right shows the beauty and temperament of Gu Xi at this age.
In short, it is very suitable for formal occasions such as annual meetings.
Seeing Gu Xi's blushing face being praised by herself, Cui Min couldn't wait to go up and kiss her.
Gu Xi's appearance is considered to satisfy Cui Min's daughter's dream for many years, so she wants to add anything beautiful to Gu Xi.
Of course, it's not just for this reason - although Cui Min was abroad before, he heard a lot about Gu Xi from Gu Xuan.
Although Gu Xi has a biological mother, but in the past so many years with her biological mother, she was like a child without a mother. Therefore, facing Gu Xi, Cui Min couldn't help but want to treat her better and give her more 'mother'. aspect of care.
- It would have been better if they were found sooner.
Cui Min sighed with some regret in her heart, so that she and her sister-in-law can always take care of her.
Putting away the emotion in her heart, Cui Min took Gu Xi and looked around again: "No, Auntie has to give you another nice hairstyle."
…
When Gu Shao came over, he saw Cui Min in the room helping Gu Xi comb her hair, while Gu Xi was talking to Cui Min with a smile on her face, as if she was talking about some interesting things that happened to her in school before. .
Gu Shao couldn't bear to be disturbed by such an intimate interaction. However, after looking at the time, Gu Shao coughed lightly, knocked on the door, and reminded: "It's getting late, how are you doing?"
Hearing the voice, Gu Xi turned to look at Gu Shao. I found that today's Gu Shao is a little different from usual.
I must say what is different, that is, the clothes Gu Shao wore today looked more serious than when he was in NTN or school, but he was super handsome! And he's such a handsome guy.
As a result, Gu Xi finally understood how important Cui Min said 'very important' before.
"I'll be fine right away, just another hair accessory."
While speaking, Cui Min clipped a hair accessory of the same design as the dress to the hair that had just been tied for Gu Xi, and glanced at it with satisfaction.
"Perfect!"
"Okay, Xixi, let's go and let everyone see the temperament of our little princess Gu!" Cui Min said with a 'full of desire to win', and then took Gu Xi out of the room.
Gu Shao's eyes also lit up when he saw that Cui Min was smashing and picking up, like a proud and delicate little princess, no, she looked like a little queen fan.
Hearing what Cui Min said to Gu Xi, Wang Pei, who was beside him, smiled and whispered to Gu Xi, "Don't be nervous when Xi Xi goes there, just treat it as an ordinary dinner."
Hearing Wang Pei's words, Gu Xi nodded: "Thank you auntie."
Wang Pei smiled and warned Gu Shao again: "If you go with Xixi, try not to come back too late."
"Well." Gu Shao responded.
"Let's go." Gu Shao took Gu Xi's hand and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Wang Pei and the others, and asked, "Is there any other brother who is not going to Gu Chenyi?"
After saying that, Gu Xi glanced at the back of a few people, Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi, who were holding a mobile phone and seemed to be taking pictures of her secretly: These two were still wearing home clothes at this time.
How does it feel, it seems that only she is going.
Hearing Gu Xi's words, Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi behind them waved their hands and shook their heads, but they didn't go.
At this time, Cui Min sneered and said, "The two of them will not be ashamed. The two of them were taken by your grandfather once when they were children, and they both cried at the dinner table."
- The annual meeting of the Gu family is not an ordinary gathering. Unless there are special circumstances, the juniors will not be taken.
After all, they were talking about serious business and business matters, and it would be no fun for their juniors to go.
A year ago, when Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi were still young, they were taken by Old Man Gu once, but they both went in with a smile and were brought out crying.
Gu Chenyi was beaten and cried by Gu Yanxiao, and Gu Yanxiao was directly scared to cry by his second uncle's look.
…
Gu Xi didn't know why, when he heard Cui Min say this, his face suddenly tightened.
—Is this year so scary
There is always a bad feeling.
Gu Xi muttered silently.
Seeing Gu Xi's stern look, Wang Pei held back a smile, glared at Cui Min, and then looked at Gu Xi and said, "Xi Xi, don't listen to what your little aunt said, those who attend the annual meeting are all dedicated and working in our Gu family's property. Elders, Xixi today is to let them see you, don't be afraid."
Gu Shao also raised his hand soothingly and rubbed Gu Xi's head.
"Well, don't mess with my hair."
"Don't mess up her hair!"
Gu Xi and Cui Min said almost in unison.
Hearing this, Gu Shao's hand on top of Gu Xi's head froze, and in the end, he reluctantly took it back.
"Let's go."
Gu Shao left with Gu Xi.
—
About 20 minutes later, Gu Shao brought Gu Xi to a hotel building.
"Qixia Hotel?" Gu Xi whispered while looking at the name on the sign.
Gu Xi knows this hotel, and I happened to talk about it while listening to other people chatting at school.
Although it doesn't seem to be that famous, and the name of the hotel is average, it is said that this hotel is the best hotel in City B.
I didn't expect that the annual meeting of the Gu family would be chosen in this place.
"It's quite a big deal..." Gu Xi muttered to himself while pawing at the car window.
Before he finished speaking, Gu Shao calmly introduced, "This hotel is the property of the Gu family."
Gu Xi: "?!"
Before Gu Xi could say anything, he saw that the car had already driven straight into the innermost parking area of the hotel.
—
Seeing Gu Xi's almost shocked expression, Gu Shao laughed secretly and explained, "The Gu family has a lot of business in City B."
Not only in City B, but in the entire country, there are also many industries belonging to the Gu family.
However, it is different from other companies: other companies or families will put their own properties on the name of their own homes or directly disclose them, while Gu's family's properties are mostly undisclosed.
If there is no dedicated person to investigate in depth, most people will not know that a certain industry belongs to Gujia.
"A lot?" Gu Xi asked.
"Well, a lot." Gu Shao responded and gave Gu Xi an affirmative answer - he felt that it was necessary to let Gu Xi know about his family's property, so that this girl would always feel like he was going bankrupt.
—
Because today is the annual meeting of the family, therefore, the entire hotel is not open to the public.
Gu Xi followed Gu Shao into the hotel, and before reaching the lobby, she was already taken aback by the fighting force of the two rows of receptionists in front of her.
Several doors were opened, and Gu Xi followed Gu Shao into the venue.
The venue is not very big, there are about a dozen people sitting in it.
But it is these dozen or so table people, but it gives people a feeling that their identities are not simple.
This is not an illusion of Gu Xi. Those present here who are eligible to participate in the Gu family's annual meeting are indeed not low-level outsiders.
Seeing Gu Shao appear, almost all the people in the venue stood up at the same time and faced Gu Shao.
At the same time, he couldn't help but curiously looked at the girl beside Gu Shao.
"Who is that girl...?" Someone couldn't help being curious and asked the people around in a low voice.
"This should be the daughter of the head of the family." Someone guessed.
At present, not many people have seen Gu Xi, but some people at the scene know that Gu Shao has a daughter.
Here, being watched by everyone, and it was a completely different feeling from when she usually participated in the competition, Gu Xi felt a little nervous—although she was desperately reminding herself to be calm, calm and calm, but Gu Xi was still subconscious. He grabbed the corner of Gu Shao's clothes.
Gu Xi thought that Gu Shao should not notice her at this moment, but all her little actions fell into Gu Shao's eyes.
Aware of Gu Xi's nervousness, and regardless of the situation around him, Gu Shao directly took Gu Xi's hand.
After simply greeting everyone, Gu Shao did not stop at the venue, but directly took Gu Xi to another room inside.
This room is very big. Going around the screen, you can see a huge round table. On the round table, except for the first two seats, the other seats are already full of people.
At first glance, there should be fifteen or six people.
Gu Feng and Gu Xuan were among them, as for the others, Gu Xi, I didn't know each other. On the contrary, he could vaguely see one or two familiar faces, perhaps Gu Xi had seen it in a certain news or newspaper before.
Although they didn't know each other, Gu Xi could vaguely tell the difference from the atmosphere at the scene: Gu Shao said those outside, some of the people in charge of the Gu family's industries, and the dozen or so talents in front of them should be among the Gu family's industries. core people.
Gu Shao led Gu Xi directly to the main seat of Zhengdong under everyone's attention.
Gu Shao first opened the chair for Gu Xi and let her sit down. Then he sat down on the main seat.
As Gu Shao was seated, everyone sat for a while, looked at Gu Shao, and looked at Gu Xi with a bit of a smile.
"My daughter, Gu Xi." Gu Shao introduced.
Just a few words, but let people hear a sense of solemnity.
Gu Shao brought Gu Xi here, indeed to formally introduce Gu Xi to everyone in the Gu family.
After that, Gu Shao introduced the people present to Gu Xi in turn.
Gu Xi will greet the person whom Gu Shao introduced obediently.
The voice was crisp, but not timid.
However, after getting to know each other for a while, although Gu Xi carefully remembered everyone's title and identity, Gu Xi was a little confused about the other identities and positions introduced by Gu Shao.
—
The feast begins.
After the dishes were ready, the waiter in the room withdrew, leaving only two people standing at the door.
At the dinner table, apart from being a little too serious, the whole atmosphere was very peaceful.
After eating, at first, a few people just chatted a few words, and then began to briefly talk about the situation and achievements of the industries and affairs in their hands during the year.
This posture, like making a summary report, is more like chatting.
Gu Xi listened carefully.
Then, the more I listened, the more wonderful the expression on Gu Xi's face.
—Yuancheng International, that awesome project is actually owned by the Gu family
- Also, what did you just say? Gujia also has an international transportation industry
—And overseas factories…
Gu Xuan often travels abroad. Gu Xi always thought that the Gu family probably had so many small factories and workshops abroad, but did not expect that the Gu family's overseas industry was already so huge
Are you sure this is the Gu family she knows? Are you sure the ones mentioned above belong to them
Gu Xi's eyes widened slightly, and her expression changed from surprise to shock to fantasy.
If it wasn't for keeping calm and not spoiling her 'queen style' outfit today, Gu Xi would have almost made an expression of stunned and shocked jaw dropping.
Gu Xi's mood at this time is like a child who grew up in an ordinary family, suddenly one day he was told by his parents, "Our family is actually a rich man, and you are actually a rich second generation. We have been hiding it from you for so many years, mainly because of fear. You are not talented'…
It was quite sudden.
While Gu Xi was in a daze, a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs was placed in her bowl.
Different from Gu Xi's surprise, while listening to everyone's report, Gu Shao was very calm, while on the other hand, Gu Shao didn't forget the 'don't let Xi Xi go hungry' before going out, so he always brought food to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi dazedly ate the sweet and sour pork ribs that Gu Shao had put for her.
However, at this moment, Gu Xi was a little bit ignorant, and his mind was full of memories of the description of the Gu family in the novel.
The part about the Gu family in the novel is rarely written. It seems to have mentioned that the Gu family is good, but it is not so eloquent.
Gu Xi felt that such a Gu family was no worse than the power of the male protagonist in the novel, and even Gu Xi felt that with the power of the Gu family, not to mention instant kills, but completely suppressing the Lin family was enough.
"Then why..." At the end of the novel, the Gu family was solved by the male protagonist.
Is it because of that surname Xie
Gu Xi was puzzled.
…
Originally, Gu Xi wanted to ask Gu Shao carefully, but at the end of the annual meeting, Gu Xi was too sleepy and fell asleep.
When he woke up from his bed again, it was already morning, and Gu Shao had already gone to NTN early.
Looking at the time, Gu Xi sat on the bed for a while before finally getting used to the state of being on vacation.
At this moment, a message from Dong Mingming popped up on Gu Xi's phone.
[Dong Mingming]: Gu Xi, are you awake
[Dong Mingming]: Let me tell you, after looking for 20 or 30 places recommended by Internet celebrities, and after layers of screening, I finally found a particularly suitable one!
Below, Dong Mingming also sent Gu Xi a link and a location location.
Gu Xi clicked on the link. It was a dessert shop near the Affiliated High School of University A. It had a special booth. The photos looked good.
Gu Xi gave the other party an 'ok' expression.
Because this time there is a citywide ranking, the final exam scores are not coming out so quickly.
Instead, the holiday homework is 'on schedule'.
On the second day of the holiday, Dong Mingming set a grand goal for herself: to complete all her winter vacation homework before the Chinese New Year, so she took Gu Xi and a few people to go out with her to do homework.
Gu Xi agreed, and made an appointment with Dong Mingming in the group to meet again, and then got up from the bed.
When Gu Xi opened the door and was about to go downstairs, she saw Gu Yan, Xiao and Gu Chenyi standing at her door in unison.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Gu Chenyi asked.
Gu Yanxiao also added: "Didn't you go out to study at 10 o'clock at the same table as you?"
The conversation between Gu Xi and Dong Mingming happened in a small group, so Gu Yanxiao and the two also saw it.
"Do you want to be together?" Gu Xi looked at the two of them and issued a sincere invitation.
As a result, the two shook their heads almost without thinking, and said in unison, "No."
Gu Yanxiao: Homework during the holidays or something, it’s better to do it two days before school starts.
Gu Chenyi: What is vacation homework? nonexistent.
"It's you, don't you hurry up? It's almost 9:45 now." Gu Yanxiao pointed at the time on his phone and reminded.
Gu Xi calmly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry."
"Aren't you afraid that Dong Mingming will beep in the group?"
"That's because you don't know Dong too well." Gu Xiyou said.
—
Sure enough, after Gu Xi was in no hurry to pack up, had breakfast, and then asked the driver to take her to the place Dong Mingming had agreed to, and waited for another half an hour, someone came unhurriedly, and, naturally graciously accepted the fact that she herself was late.
As soon as she sat down, Dong Mingming took out the contents of her big bag one by one.
Looking at the aromatherapy, snacks, earphones... and even a small pot of succulent Dong Mingming took out from her bag, Gu Xi's mouth twitched.
"Are you sure you're here to do your homework?" Not for vacation
Hearing Gu Xi's question, Dong Mingming nodded solemnly: "Of course, let me tell you, the learning environment and learning atmosphere are also very important."
After all, Dong Mingming took out another box of puzzles.
