Gu Xiyu took out a flat folded piece of white paper from his pocket, which recorded several addresses and contact numbers.
He said in a serious tone: "I'll call the owner later and make an appointment to see the house tomorrow. As long as there are no major problems, I will rent it, so one night should be—"
Before he could say the word 'enough', the paper in his hand was suddenly taken away.
Gu Xiyu watched Ji Chen tearing the note to shreds in front of him without hesitation, turning a thousand words into a huge—
It wasn't until those addresses and phone numbers became too fragmented to piece together that Ji Chen asked him again, "Is it enough?"
The voice sounded, quite a sense of calm before the storm hit.
"… "
Straight man thinking Gu Xiyu was stunned for a long time, only to realize that Ji Chen might have good intentions to keep him, but he refused to say it directly. Say he is thin-skinned, he can tear up his things without blushing and heartbeat, but if he is thick-skinned, he will be embarrassed to say this.
After a short silence, Gu Xiyu said softly, "Let's eat."
He didn't answer Ji Chen's question directly, but he didn't raise the matter of looking for a house again.
"You made all these yourself?" Ji Chen asked casually, holding the bowl that had just been filled with hot rice.
Gu Xiyu was still thinking about his extremely ridiculous behavior just now, and answered nonsense with his eyes open: "No, I ordered takeout."
Mr. Ji, who was ready to deal with the draft, was blocked for a moment by his words.
Gu Xiyu lowered his eyes to cover the flashing smile in his eyes. He insisted on a sleepless attitude, and didn't say a word at the dinner table.
On the contrary, Ji Chen didn't seem to know why, and was a little absent-minded.
After dinner, Ji Chen suddenly said, "I asked the people in the Supervision Department, and they told me that they can give me the results of your betrayal of company secrets within two weeks."
"Two weeks is too long." Gu Xiyu frowned, thinking that if he checked it himself, he might find the answer in two days.
Ji Chen said, "I think so too."
Gu Xiyu just wanted to say whether to let him go, when he heard Ji Chen continue: "So I plan to take you out on a trip to relax before the results come out."
"…?"
The words 'honeymoon' on the task panel suddenly jumped in front of him.
Almost forgot about this.
The house on fire had a big impact on his day, so he temporarily put this less-than-task-like task out of his mind.
"It's fine, you can arrange it." Although Gu Xiyu wasn't really looking forward to it, he didn't feel scared.
Anyway, Ji Chen didn't really like the certificate he got from him.
And Ji Chen happened to need to go to country F, which is called the romantic city, next week because of business, so he set their travel destination there by the way.
Thursday was an appointment to meet Gu Xun and Xu Caiting.
Gu Xiyu calculated the time and went out to pick up his parents before Ji Chen got off work.
Before starting, he opened the storage compartment of the passenger seat and took out the USB flash drive that he casually dropped inside.
He kept thinking that the fire in the house had nothing to do with this thing. It's a pity that the house was burnt down, and he couldn't confirm whether the room had been infiltrated. It is also a coincidence that he accidentally took it out after transferring the data that day, and only found it when he got in the car, so he temporarily put it in the car and was not damaged by the fire.
If nothing else, if the person who wanted to kill him was the same person who set fire to the Gu family's villa, then this person is simply worse than the mission target Ji Chen.
Gu Xiyu, who recognized this matter, put away the USB flash drive before setting off to take Gu Xun and Xu Caiting to the apartment. He has never mentioned to them that Ji Chen and him have an apartment. Even if they meet today, his explanation to the two of them is only Ji Chen's home.
When Xu Caiting helped Gu Xun to enter the door, the white cat who had just taken a nap yawned and stepped on the catwalk to the entrance, like a king who patrolled the mountains, looking at the people who came in.
"Oh, our son-in-law has such a cute cat at home." Xu Caiting reached out to touch it, but she snarled and grinned and quickly avoided it, only rubbing back and forth on Gu Xiyu's hind legs, as if asking him this Who was the one who broke into the house.
Gu Xiyu said, "These are my parents."
I don't know if Xixi really understood it, so she didn't attack Gu Xun and Xu Caiting anymore, she just hid far away and didn't want to get close to them.
"This house is really big..." Xu Caiting held Gu Xun in her arms, her cheeks flushed with excitement, "I heard that the apartment in this building is very valuable, it's several times the price of our family's dilapidated villa."
"Haha." Gu Xun smiled like a loving father, "It's already very low-key to live in this place as him."
Seeing that they were sitting on the sofa, Gu Xiyu went to the kitchen to make tea and cut fruit for them, without joining their conversation. Mainly, he didn't have anything to say to them. The two of them had never had any affection for him or the 'original body', sitting together like strangers.
Aside from individual circumstances, Ji Chen is quite punctual. He stepped back home again at the agreed time, and when he entered the door, he was carrying several paper bags, which seemed to contain gifts that were ready to be given away.
Gu Xiyu was sitting at the dining table bored, holding a bowl of homemade salad vegetables in his hand, and nibbling it in his mouth like a herbivore.
"Oh, that, Ji..." Gu Xun stood up with the kidnapper, his mouth opened and closed for a long time, but he couldn't finish his sentence.
Calling Mr. Ji is too unfamiliar, but asking him to call Ji Chen directly, he always feels that the other party's aura does not allow him to call out directly.
Seeing Ji Chen carrying a bunch of things and putting them on the coffee table in front of him and Xu Caiting, Gu Xun laughed again: "Why did you buy so many things just for an interview? It's too expensive!"
"No." Ji Chen smiled at them, and said as he took out the contents, "How can it be a waste of money to buy things for Xiyu."
Gu Xun, who thought it was Ji Chen's gift to them, had a stiff smile on his lips, Xu Caiting raised her hand uncomfortably and tucked her hair behind her ear, and asked, "Ah, all, are they all for our Xiyu? ?"
"Well, today, a brand company that cooperates with Fengming has sent some gifts."
As he said that, he took out a small box of things from a small bag and handed it to Gu Xiyu: "Even if you can get it back, your mobile phone is already very worn out, I left the company earlier today, and bought you a new one by the way. "
Gu Xiyu glanced at the two people beside the sofa whose faces were obviously not very good-looking, and silently reached out to take the new phone that even had a phone case made for him.
He turned on the screen and then turned it off. In front of Ji Chen, he took off the back shell and showed what looked like a chip underneath: "Is this from the previous shell?"
"..." Ji Chen put his hand to his mouth in a contemplative manner, but didn't answer.
When Gu Xiyu woke up in the hotel, he had already discovered Ji Chen's hands and feet on his mobile phone. That thing should be a tracker, which would allow Ji Chen to keep track of his whereabouts.
Because he didn't have anything that he couldn't know for the time being, so he didn't expose it.
Gu Xiyu carefully put the phone back into the case, and suddenly smiled at Ji Chen.
"thanks."
Ji Chen moved his finger subconsciously and was about to lift it up, but when his visual line touched the shallow smile under Gu Xiyu's eyes, he hesitated, and finally his eyes swept across the top of his hair without a trace.
He turned around again and walked back to the living room: "Listen to Xiyu, parents want to discuss something with me?"
Gu Xun immediately regained his senses and said with an apologetic smile: "Ah yes, I won't beat around the bush, mainly... I want to say Ji, Ji Chen, your company has been running very successfully. I wanted to talk to you."
"I have heard a little about the Gu family. However, I heard that the specific situation of this incident seems to be because you are conspiring to do not very formal business operations, and there is a disagreement in the middle, which will lead to people taking advantage of the chaos. Funding has happened. If the information I received is correct, shouldn't your internal turmoil still be resolved?"
Gu Xun didn't expect that Ji Chen would even find out the situation of Gu's technology, and the prepared explanations could not be used, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Ji Chen added: "What's more, your company has a record of leaking customers' private information. Even if it is reported, it will continue to make such small actions in private. The most important first principle of my business is to pay attention to integrity. "
"So I won't help with the troubles of the family company, sorry."
Gu Xun and Xu Caiting couldn't hold their smiles when they heard the end. Xu Caiting looked at Gu Xiyu and even became resentful, and regardless of Ji Chen's presence, she asked directly, "Is it you? You must have told Mr. Ji a lot before we came over that my dad and I were not good to you. The bad words will make him misunderstand us!"
"How can you be so vicious, child?"
Gu Xiyu put the cell phone that he repeatedly wiped clean on the table, and asked Xu Caiting calmly, "Have you ever seen me tell anyone that my family treated me badly over the years?"
Seeing Xu Caiting's eyes light up, he said softly again: "It's obviously his own child, why can't you treat me a little more like you treat your brother?"
Gu Xiyu's question was clearly asking Gu Xun and Xu Caiting, but Ji Chen always felt that his gaze was more like looking through them, asking someone else.
Perhaps this is the first time that the Gu family has really brought this topic that is taboo in their family to the public.
Ji Chen's attitude was very tough. Gu Xun knew that it was impossible to get his support for the time being. After he asked Gu Xiyu for the car key, he left with Xu Caiting.
After that, Gu Xiyu temporarily cut off contact with the Gu family, and soon ushered in the day of going on a 'business trip' with Ji Chen.
Before leaving, Ji Chen gave him a bank card.
"Marriage usually requires hiring. I didn't give you anything. There are tens of millions of funds in it." Ji Chen said while packing his simple salute, "Self-interestedly, I really don't really want to help that badly. company of."
"But they are your family after all, and now the money is yours, you decide how you want to spend it."
Gu Xiyu took the bank card that Ji Chen handed him, and was a little lost.
Ji Chen thought he was struggling, but in fact he was estimating the assets he possessed in the space-time world.
This is the first world, and he already owes the Great Demon King a luxury prison package.
