"Gu Shi, you are completely different from your father."

"Although you are young, you are stronger than your father. You are resolute and decisive in doing things. You do things beautifully and no one can find fault with you. No one can deny your ability."

"There's just one thing. You're not as smooth as your father. You've turned down several dinner parties this month..."

Gu Shi sneered in his heart, how could he not know the ways of the world? It was just that his family was more important to him than business dinners.

He looked down at his watch. His wife, Bo Chuya, had returned from the Kunqu Opera Troupe and was waiting for him at home.

If he attended dinner parties and socialized until late at night, he would not only be unable to accompany her, but also make her feel insecure.

He promised her before marriage that she would be home before seven o'clock and spend the most important time of the day with her family.

His son Gu Qingrui, who is five years old, is in the senior class of kindergarten. He has finished school and is waiting for him to pick him up.

During Gu Shi's growth, his mother was absent and his father was often absent because he was busy with work. He now wants to give his child a complete family.

This is also what Chu Ya thought, so she went home after the Kunqu Opera Troupe rehearsal and spent as much time with Gu Qingrui as possible.

"Uncle Zhang, I know what you mean. I will reschedule the dinners that have been postponed to other times. As for the evening, I want to spend time with my family." Gu Shi looked down at his watch, took his coat and stood up. "Uncle Zhang, if you have anything else, we can talk alone after the breakfast meeting tomorrow. I'm leaving first."

After saying this, he nodded to Zhang Ting, pushed the door open and walked out.

The assistant beside him quickly followed.

In order to save time, Gu Shi parked the car directly next to the playground of the kindergarten. Many children were playing on the playground, some were playing football. Gu Shi was too lazy to look for his son and just blew a whistle.

Gu Qingrui came running from somewhere with a schoolbag, followed by a fluffy little white dog.

"Dad," Gu Qingrui shouted happily, "I thought it was Brother Chen who came today?"

Xiao Chen is another assistant of Gu Shi. Before, when he didn’t have time to pick up the children, Xiao Chen would do it.

Gu Shi smiled and said, "If I don't come to pick you up, your mother will be angry."

Teacher Fang, who was in charge of Gu Qingrui, also walked over behind Gu Qingrui.

Gu Shi got out of the car and politely said to Teacher Fang, "Please take care of the child, Teacher Fang. I will take the child away."

"No, it's not a problem..." Teacher Fang, who was in his early twenties, was so nervous that he stuttered a little. He couldn't help but glance at him, then immediately lowered his head, his face red as if water could drip out.

Gu Shi was already used to it and just pretended not to see it.

The little white dog nudged up to his legs and sniffed his leather shoes. Gu Shi asked with great interest, "Where did this little dog come from?"

He was actually asking Gu Qingrui, but Teacher Fang thought he was asking her.

"This was brought by Gu Qingrui's classmate from home. The kids love it." After saying this, Teacher Fang couldn't help but glance at him, then lowered her head shyly.

Gu Qingrui's father doesn't come often, so she has to seize the time to appreciate his looks.

Gu Qingrui pulled at his clothes and said, "Dad, can we have a puppy at home?"

Gu Shi: "Ask your mother. If she agrees, I will agree."

Gu Qingrui cheered: "Great, Mom will definitely agree."

"Let's go." Gu Shi patted Gu Qingrui's shoulder and nodded to Teacher Fang.

The father and son got on the car and Teacher Fang waved to them.

Sitting in the car, Gu Qingrui was thoughtful: "Dad, Teacher Fang blushes when he sees you."

Gu Shi said calmly: "This is a normal physiological reaction."

"Then mom also blushes when she sees you?"

Gu Shi laughed, in a very good mood: "That's because she likes me."

Gu Qingrui was a little confused: "Why is it that Teacher Fang's blushing is a physiological reaction, and Mom's blushing means she likes you?"

Gu Shi felt that even if he explained this problem, Gu Qingrui would not understand, so he tried his best to explain it to him: "Because I'm married, Teacher Fang won't like me. Teacher Fang just thinks I'm good-looking and is a little nervous when he sees me."

"As for your mother, of course she likes me, that's why she married me. She blushes because she gets nervous when she sees someone she likes."

Gu Qingrui looked confused, so Gu Shi didn't explain: "You will know later."

The car stopped in front of a fast food restaurant, and Gu Shi asked, "Do you still want to eat hamburgers and fried chicken?"

"Hmm..." Gu Qingrui nodded excitedly.

"Let's go." Gu Shi took him to the store to order food.

Gu Qingrui looked at the meal he ordered for two and asked, "Isn't mom coming to eat?"

"She doesn't eat these things." Gu Shi didn't actually like to eat them either, but he just came to eat with Gu Qingrui.

Children are always curious about new and foreign things. Gu Qingrui, who is used to eating home-cooked meals, especially wants to eat fried chicken and hamburgers.

Although it's not very healthy, Chuya is not worried. She thinks it will be fine after a while after the novelty wears off.

Gu Shi picked up his phone and took a picture of fried chicken for Chu Ya, indicating that he had completed the task, and reminded her not to forget to eat dinner.

He picked up a piece of fried chicken with gloves on and sighed secretly. It was not as delicious as the fried rice made by Chu Ya.

Children eat very slowly, but Gu Qingrui ate leisurely and was not in a hurry at all.

"Eat quickly." Gu Shi knocked on the table. He was still waiting to go home to accompany Chu Ya.

I haven't seen her for a day. I miss her so much.

Gu Qingrui was not disturbed by him at all. After eating, he wanted to chat with Gu Shi for a while. He opened his schoolbag and said, "Dad, let me show you something."

Gu Shi wanted to urge him to leave, but then he remembered what Chu Ya had said to him: "Talk to your child more and understand his thoughts. You are father and son, so you should have more common topics."

He was not in a hurry to leave. He watched as he took out the things in Gu Qingrui's schoolbag one by one and placed them on the table. They were all snacks and various small gadgets, and none of them belonged to Gu Qingrui.

Gu Qingrui said with a kind of boasting tone: "Look, Dad."

Gu Shi raised his eyebrows: "Did a girl in your class give it to you?"

"Yes," Gu Qingrui nodded, "This pack of freeze-dried strawberries was given to me by Tian Meimei, and this pack of sea salt biscuits was given to me by Dong Yiting. I don't know who gave me this pack, and I don't remember who gave me this one either. Anyway, they were all placed directly on my desk... Oh, and this pack of almonds. There was an extra pack today, so Teacher Fang gave it to me directly..."

Gu Shi looked at him. There was a sense of superiority on Gu Qingrui's face, which came from being favored by everyone because of his outstanding appearance.

Gu Shi was very familiar with this feeling of superiority because he had experienced it before.

"Gu Qingrui," Gu Shi said seriously, "you are treated preferentially by others because of your appearance, but you must remember that a person's bearing, knowledge and cultivation are all more important than appearance."

"Your appearance is outstanding, and others will have higher expectations of you. You should continue to learn and improve yourself, so that your appearance can become your least noticeable advantage."
