The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

In just half a month, a bunch of bad news swept into Gongcheng.

First, there was the expected notification that Gong Cheng’s degree certificate was cancelled.

Then, in the Oriental Cup competition, Gong Cheng's team's results were pending investigation because a judge's son reported that the team had falsified data. The so-called judge's son that Gong Cheng could think of was a man named Cao Xiu.

Then, after a background check, Wang's Group learned that Gong Cheng's degree certificate had been cancelled and his results in the Oriental Cup were pending. So they called and unilaterally canceled the agreement to recruit Gong Cheng.

Although the degree certificate is gone, there is still a symbolic graduation certificate that I need to go to the school to get.

Gong Cheng was about to go to school to get it a few days ago, but Zhang Miaoyu called and anxiously told Gong Cheng not to go to school, saying that she would go to get it for Gong Cheng.

After asking around, Gong Cheng found out that the school forum was in an uproar. An insider revealed that Gong Cheng was being kept by a second-generation rich man named Tao, and posted photos of the two of them that were secretly taken when they came out of a hotel's themed couple room.

Gong Cheng was upset by all these messy and bad things that happened one after another, but he didn't show it in front of Tao Zhi.

At this time, Gong Cheng was sitting on the edge of the bed. There was an open box on the bedside table. The ring in the box was held in Gong Cheng's palm, and it was slightly cool.

Gong Cheng felt a sticky and blocked feeling in his throat.

Tomorrow is my birthday. Just a while ago, I was hoping to put the ring on my husband's finger on my birthday, and hug and kiss him amid the falling petals and the cheers of my friends.

But what qualifications do I have to propose to you now?

Gong Cheng recalled the half month since her husband was discharged from the hospital and found that he was almost visibly distancing himself from her.

The indifferent eyes and impatient words all indicate that the gentleman is drifting away from her.

During these times, Tao Zhi spent almost every day and night hanging out with his friends, going to various entertainment venues. He would always come back drunk, with the lipstick marks on his clothes changing colors.

Tao Zhi's temper also escalated. He would not listen to any advice from Gong Cheng. If he heard something he didn't like, he would smash the bottle in his hand in front of Gong Cheng, causing the glass to scatter everywhere, and he would yell, "What qualifications do you have to control me?"

Gong Cheng approached in panic, trying to catch Tao Zhi, but found that the more he wanted to grasp him, the less he could hold him. He could only watch helplessly as Tao Zhi continued to walk, leaving him behind without a care.

It seems that the gentleman doesn't love himself anymore.

The moment this thought sprouted in his mind, Gong Cheng almost forgot how to breathe.

No, how could sir not love himself?

We have been together for three years, and during these three years, my husband's heart and eyes have been filled with me. How could he stop loving himself in just half a month?

Gong Cheng's vision blurred. Everything that had happened recently seemed like a piled-up tower, one layer upon another, so high that he could hardly climb over it, and he couldn't breathe either. He could only stand there dazed and at a loss under the tower.

I felt so helpless that I even wanted to ask my husband for help, but sadly realized that my current husband had no intention of saving me at all.

When Gong Cheng first received the ring, she was extremely delighted. She felt that the ring in her hand was shining brightly and she looked forward to putting it on her husband on his birthday.

At this moment, Gong Cheng looked at the ring and felt that it was dull and lifeless. How could such an ordinary ring be worn on the gentleman's finger?

The cell phone rang and Gong Cheng answered it numbly.

What bad news will this bring?

"Hello, are you a family member of Ms. Li Yunrong? She fainted today because her condition worsened. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible." said the person on the phone.

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng stood up suddenly, stuffed the ring into the box and rushed out.

When Li Yunrong woke up, Gong Cheng's eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that he had cried a lot.

Li Yunrong guessed that Gong Cheng already knew about his situation. Feeling helpless, he stretched out his bony hand and gently touched Gong Cheng's face.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Gong Cheng choked.

"Life and death are determined by fate. Even if I tell you that your condition has worsened, it won't change anything. It will only make you worry in vain." Li Yunrong said in a gentle voice.

Gong Cheng burst into tears and trembled all over. He felt extremely helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing this, Li Yunrong's eyes turned red and she spoke with a sob.

"Xiaocheng, have you given the ring to Mr. Tao?"

Gong Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his eyelashes were already wet with tears.

"I originally wanted to send it out tomorrow, but now I..." Before Gong Cheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Yunrong crying.

Li Yunrong held Gong Cheng's hand, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Xiaocheng, listen to your mother and we won't give you the ring, okay?" Li Yunrong said.

Gong Cheng was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at his mother in front of him.

"I know you love him, and I know my little town is very good and works hard."

"But our family owes them too much, and we have done too much to Mr. Tao. Can we stop clinging to them?"

"Just consider it as fulfilling mom's last wish." Li Yunrong said in tears.

Gong Cheng walked out of the hospital in a daze, and numbly reached out to stop a taxi on the road. A car stopped in front of him, and the window rolled down, revealing Xu Yanze's profile.

Xu Yanze looked at Gong Cheng, who looked embarrassed, with calm eyes.

"Let's talk." Xu Yanze said.

"Teacher Xu, is there anything that made you come to see me?" Gong Cheng forced himself to suppress his grief.

Xu Yanze handed over an envelope with a gold-rimmed border, and Gong Cheng took it with some doubt.

"This is Mr. Gu's invitation letter." Xu Yanze said indifferently.

Gong Cheng was stunned when he heard this. He naturally knew what the industry legend "Mr. Gu's invitation letter" meant.

Mr. Gu himself is not on the global financial list, but nine of the top 100 people on the global list are his students. Any one of these names can shake the world in the financial world with just a stomp of his foot.

Anyone who can receive "Mr. Gu's invitation letter" is either already a superior person, or will be personally sent to the top by Mr. Gu.

"Why did you choose me?" Gong Cheng asked in surprise.

It is obvious that I am not good enough to be qualified to be a student of someone like Mr. Gu.

"Mr. Gu's team has a complete global talent data network. You have been one of his favorite student candidates a long time ago."

"One of the reasons why I took on the role of judge for the Oriental Cup after returning to China was to see if you were good enough."

"You can think of this Oriental Cup competition as a threshold test set for you by Mr. Gu. Obviously, you performed very well in this test." Xu Yanze explained.

"But my competition results are still pending." Gong Cheng's throat was blocked and his voice became hoarse.

"This does not affect my assessment of your performance during the competition," Xu Yanze said.

Gong Cheng looked at the envelope in his hand and felt his heartbeat slow down. His fingertips gently stroked the edge of the gold thread.

As long as you accept this letter, you can get many things that were previously out of reach, and you will also have a way to keep climbing up.

For me who doesn't even have a degree certificate, this is like a timely help, or even a blessing.

Gong Cheng pursed his lips and handed the envelope back with red eyes.

"I'm sorry, I can't take it."

Accepting it means leaving your homeland and your husband.

Xu Yanze was not annoyed when he saw this. He just raised his eyebrows and looked at Gong Cheng, who was still a little immature, without making any move to take the envelope back.

"Gong Cheng, do you think you are worthy of Tao Zhi as you are now?"

Xu Yanze's cold voice had no ups and downs, but it plucked a string in Gong Cheng's heart. The lingering sound made Gong Cheng's lungs ache.

"I will keep this invitation letter with you. If you still refuse it after three days, I will take it back and give it to the next candidate."

"I'm looking forward to your well-considered decision." Xu Yanze said.

On the other side, in the empty and silent club box, Tao Zhi had been lying on the sofa like Ge You for a whole day, or to be more precise, for half a month.

Every day I come to the club just like punching in at work. After opening the private room, I lie down and play with my phone all day. In the middle of the night, I pour some wine on myself to get a little bit of the smell of alcohol, then take out lipsticks of different colors and use my fingers to press marks on my clothes.

"Ding, the key invitation plot point has been reached. A character has sent an invitation to the protagonist to go to the United States, but the protagonist has not accepted it yet."

"Warm reminder, the host needs to continue to make contributions to help the protagonist accept the invitation." Fanfan said.

Tao Zhi was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled bitterly.

This is forcing me to cut the Gordian knot.

"I understand." Tao Zhi replied.
