Confession of Rebirth

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and everyone followed the prestige, and saw Gu Xiu standing up from the rest chair with red eyes, glared at Huo Mingzhang, and said loudly: "How can you say that about me? So you also Look down on me. You're like them all!"

After finishing speaking, he ran out of the basketball hall with a look of grievance.

Huo Mingzhang, who only had a slap mark on half of his face, sat there in a daze.

"What's going on?" Jin Wei Tao Jiang threw away the basketball in his hand and ran to Huo Mingzhang's side: "Why did you get beaten up?"

"How do I know!" Huo Mingzhang laughed back in anger, and couldn't help but swear: "I just said a word!"

Huo Mingzhang was particularly aggrieved and repeated what he had just said to Gu Xiu to the two.Jin Wei and Tao Jiang were also baffled: "There is nothing wrong with this! Why are you angry?"

Attracted by the applause, Zhou Xiaoting frowned silently, and smiled at the cheerleader who also came over to watch the show.

Huo Mingzhang thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, he felt that half of his face was hot, and his heart was also simmering with fire.He glanced at Gu Chen resentfully: "It's all your fault!"

If it wasn't for discussing Gu Chen, Gu Xiu wouldn't be inexplicably angry, let alone hit someone in public.Huo Mingzhang also wondered why such a gentle and shy person would be so abnormal when he encountered his brother.

Jin Wei and Tao Jiang couldn't listen anymore: "Why are you complaining about Gu Chen? It's not that Gu Xiu is too stingy. To admit that Gu Chen is excellent is to look down on him. What kind of brain circuit?"

Huo Mingzhang was left speechless by the two's petulance.He could only let out a long sigh, and scratched his hair distractedly.

Gu Chen looked strange.It's not because of Huo Mingzhang's inexplicable anger, but because he didn't expect that the plot just collapsed like that, and he can still work so hard to get back.

Hearing Huo Mingzhang's complaint, Gu Chen raised his eyebrows secretly, and went through the plot silently in his heart: It's time to rush out and chase people.

However, Huo Mingzhang didn't mean to rush out of the basketball court to chase Gu Xiu.Still sitting on the rest chair obediently, and leisurely took an ice pack for himself, wrapped it in a towel and stuck it on his face.

Gu Chen: "..."

Gu Chen vaguely remembered that after Huo Mingzhang chased him out, the two should have had a heart-to-heart talk on the playground.

Although I don't know how the plot will turn out, it's none of my business.Gu Chen turned around silently, and under the arrangement of the coach, he played another four or 10 minutes of in-team training with several other teammates.Time to leave.

Before leaving, Zhou Xiaoting followed to the door of the locker room and told Gu Chen: "Don't forget to come to my house for dinner on Friday night."

Huo Mingzhang followed behind, and raised his eyebrows suspiciously when he heard Zhou Xiaoting's words: "Gu Chen is going to your house for dinner?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Xiaoting nodded: "Gu Chen helped our family a lot before. My father said that we must treat Gu Chen to a meal and express our gratitude."

"Is it the news that the female salesman of Dazhou Tianxia was slandered by someone for making money and sex transactions with customers?" Because the matter involved the reputation of the sales department of the entire Dazhou Group, the Huo family also talked about it at the dinner table.Huo Mingzhang's father also sighed with emotion, saying that this time the Dazhou Group responded quickly and responded in a timely manner.Stand up and issue a statement as soon as possible, and control the fermentation of public opinion in the shortest time.Not only did he use this incident to promote the project that Dazhou Group is planning to list on Hong Kong stocks, but he also earned a wave of sympathy points from netizens from the perspective of victims.The crisis public relations that turn danger into safety is really beautiful.

Because of this, Huo's father called Huo Mingzhang home, and praised Zhou Xiaoting at the dinner table full of praise.He kept praising Zhou Xiaoting as a tiger father without a dog daughter, saying that the Zhou family had successors.I can't wait to praise Zhou Xiaoting so much that Huo Mingzhang's ears are almost callused.

Huo Mingzhang didn't expect that there was Gu Chen's handwriting in it?

"It's not just his handwriting!" Zhou Xiaoting couldn't help looking at Gu Chen with admiration when she said this, "It was Gu Chen's plan from the beginning to the end. And it was Saturday, if Gu Chen didn't call me in time, Teach me how to do it. If you really wait until Monday to go to work, I'm afraid this matter will become a big mess, and the Dazhou Group will definitely suffer heavy losses by then."

As children of the same family, Huo Mingzhang certainly knows the weight of this matter.He looked at Gu Chen with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

After finishing speaking, Huo Mingzhang suddenly sneered, and said to Zhou Xiaoting: "My dad kept asking me to learn from you. I didn't expect you to be greedy for others. Now it's all right. When I go home this weekend, I must Explain this to my dad clearly. Let me just say it! We grew up together, don’t I know how much you Zhou Xiaoting weigh? When did you become so powerful?”

"So it's not that you are good, it's that the foreign aid you hired is good." Huo Mingzhang glanced at Gu Chen: "Then I will too! Next time I will pry Gu Chen into the Huo Group as an intern—"

"Huo Mingzhang, are you sick?" Before Huo Mingzhang finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoting glared at him and interrupted angrily, "Are you taking care of Shen?"

Gu Chen really didn't want to talk to Huo Mingzhang.He entered the locker room on his own, changed his clothes, and left with his schoolbag on his back.

Huo Mingzhang looked at Gu Chen's back, turned his head and asked the two boys: "Do you think that Gu Chen doesn't hate me as much as before?"

"Really?" Jin Wei and Tao Jiang looked at each other, but they didn't see it anyway.

"Yes!" Huo Mingzhang gave an example: "He even took the initiative to pass the ball to me today!"

"Does it mean the one-on-one match where he abused you?"

Jin Wei and Tao Jiang looked at each other again, and looked at Huo Mingzhang: "Just as long as you are happy."

Huo Mingzhang: "..."

Huo Mingzhang asked unwillingly: "You say, if I can convince my dad to give him a position as an intern assistant to the president, can I pry him away from the Dazhou Group?"

Huo Mingzhang is tired of Papa Huo telling him how good Zhou Xiaoting is every day.It's all due to Gu Chen, so how can she, Zhou Xiaoting, become someone else's child?Huo Mingzhang decided to draw out his salary from the bottom of the pot and pried Zhou Xiaoting's think tank.Let's see what other flowers his father can boast.

Jin Wei and Tao Jiang shook their heads, thinking that Huo Mingzhang's brain circuit was really... quite surprising.

The two of them were very curious. Could it be that Huo Mingzhang didn't see at all that the reason why Uncle Huo admired Zhou Xiaoting so much was because Uncle Huo regarded her as his daughter-in-law!

——Even if you pry away the [-] think tanks around Zhou Xiaoting, it won't delay Uncle Huo's finding a wife for you!

But having said that, Zhou Xiaoting didn't seem to like Huo Mingzhang either.The two of them recalled Zhou Xiaoting's affectionate little eyes on Gu Chen.Let's compare Gu Chen and Huo Mingzhang together.

I also have to admit that perhaps the only thing Huo Mingzhang is better than Gu Chen is that he can reincarnate!

On Friday afternoon, just as Gu Chen finished his second class, he received a call from Zhou Xiaoting: "Are you all right? My family's car is already waiting at the school gate."

"Do you want to go back to the dormitory and change clothes?"

Gu Chen: "..."

Zhou Xiaoting smiled and said, "If you don't need it, forget it. I'll wait for you at the school gate."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen left the classroom with his schoolbag on his back.Before taking two steps, I felt a sudden heavy weight on my back.As soon as he turned around, he saw Cheng Yi lying on the ground with a smile, his chin resting on Gu Chen's shoulder, like a big koala: "I heard~"

Cheng Yi's voice rose, and he said slyly, "I'm going to see my parents now? The master is indeed a master, the process is going very fast!"

Gu Chen was speechless: "It's about work."

With an expression of "I understand", Cheng Yi nodded again and again: "It's the first time I come to the door, it must be to talk about work! Otherwise, talking about anything will look embarrassing."

Gu Chen slapped Cheng Yi's face, and took him off his body: "It's nothing. Everyone will be embarrassed if you talk nonsense."

Cheng Yi shrugged his shoulders, covered his nose and said, "You don't have that kind of heart. But everyone can see whether senior sister Zhou has this intention! This is called Luohua's intentional flow of water and ruthlessness."

Cheng Yi let out a long sigh: "A full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry."

Gu Chen was speechless.Walking all the way to the school gate, I saw Zhou Xiaoting wearing a pink and tender little fragrant skirt, with delicate makeup on her face, her long hair tied into a ponytail, and a very princess style on her head. pink hat.Carrying a small white leather bag in his hand.Wearing a pair of white leather boots on the feet.When you stop there, the students coming and going will take a second look.

Zhou Xiaoting looked at Gu Chen standing a few steps away with a shocked face, lowered her head in embarrassment, then looked at Gu Chen expectantly, and asked, "I am like this today, do you look good?"

Gu Chen nodded.

Zhou Xiaoting smiled and opened the car door: "Please get in the car."

Gu Chen: "..."

Zhou Xiaoting came back to her senses and couldn't help laughing: "Then I will get in the car by myself."

As Zhou Xiaoting said, she bent down and got into the car, her face was slightly hot.

Gu Chen also got into the car.The driver sitting in the driver's seat looked at Gu Chen through the side-view mirror very calmly, and drove away.

The college students of A who had watched the whole process were so excited that they chirped: "Isn't that the newly appointed president of the student union, Zhou Xiaoting? What are you doing? Dressed so grandly?"

"I heard that she is the daughter of the chairman of Dazhou Group, and her family is very rich."

"The man who got into the car with her is Gu Chen from the Department of Economics and Management, right?"

"The student who can publish articles in "The Economist" just after freshman year? Professor Xing's new favorite student?"

"What are you doing? It seems like you need to meet your parents when you're dating..."

There was a lot of discussion at the gate of University A.Some people were unwilling to be lonely and posted the photos they had just taken on the Xiaonei website.The air is filled with the cheerful breath of gossip.

No one noticed that on the street opposite the school gate, a black Maybach had been parked there for a long time.

"...is the daughter of the Da Zhou Group." Sitting in the driver's seat, Special Assistant Lin glanced at the boss through the rear-view mirror: "It seems that Gu Chen and this Miss Zhou get along well."

Zhong Li didn't speak.Leaning quietly on the back seat.Close your eyes and rest.

Assistant Lin was very curious: "Boss?"

Assistant Lin really wanted to know how the boss who came to University A non-stop to find someone right after getting off the plane would feel when he saw this scene.

It's a pity that Zhong Lisui doesn't have a hobby of letting people watch plays.Hearing Special Assistant Lin's words, he just said lightly: "Go back to the company."

"...My father may talk to you about Dazhou Group's plan to list in the Hong Kong stock market, and may test your opinions on this aspect. And the article you published on "The Economist" before, I I also showed it to my dad. He may ask questions about it.” Zhou Xiaoting asked with a smile: “Do you think there is anything that can be achieved in the real estate industry by using big data analysis to guide business operations? "

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows: "...Didn't you just treat me to a meal and thank me?"

Zhou Xiaoting choked: "Then you can't eat and sleep without talking when you eat. You have to talk about something."

Gu Chen nodded.

Zhou Xiaoting pursed her lips and changed the subject: "What do you think of my outfit today? Is it still the same as usual in a T-shirt and jeans, which looks more friendly."

"They're all the same." Gu Chen said politely, "They're all beautiful."

"I can't tell, you're pretty good at talking." One sentence made Zhou Xiaoting's heart burst into joy: "Have you been in the sales office for a long time, and you have also learned to speak glibly?"

Gu Chen weighed it in his heart, and said, "The customer comes first."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiaoting snorted, "Am I your client?"

"You are more troublesome than the client." Gu Chen said lightly, "It's the employer."

"I just make money from clients. I work in a sales office, but I have to wait for the company to pay me wages."

The smile on Zhou Xiaoting's face subsided slightly: "Don't say it so scary. We are still classmates! Are we still friends?"

Gu Chen nodded.

Seemingly aware of Gu Chen's implication, Zhou Xiaoting's originally high interest suddenly dropped.Zhou Xiaoting didn't say much for the rest of the way, all the way to Zhou's house.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother had already prepared Gu Chen's favorite dishes according to Zhou Xiaoting's instructions.Zhou Xiaoting's older brother, Zhou Yueting, also seldom left work early, and wanted to meet this "specially talented and extremely powerful" benefactor of the Zhou family that his sister said.

In fact, long before inviting Gu Chen to have dinner at home, the Zhou family had already learned about Gu Chen through various channels, including Gu Chen's family background, and all the experiences Gu Chen had experienced since he came to City A.And Zhou Xiaoting's ambiguous feelings towards Gu Chen.

I have to say that the young man is indeed quite talented.But she was not so amazing and talented that the Zhou family could put down their airs and agree to a relationship between the two of them.

So this meal is not only to thank Gu Chen for saving the reputation crisis of Dazhou Group in time, but also to let Gu Chen understand their parents' heart.

Zhou Xiaoting and Gu Chen entered the house, and when they looked up, they saw the three members of the Huo family sitting on the sofa with their parents, chatting and laughing happily, and they were stunned.

"Hey, I didn't expect that!" Huo Mingzhang looked at Zhou Xiaoting with a sluggish expression, and Gu Chen, who was always next to Zhou Xiaoting with that expressionless dead face, and waved at the two of them in a particularly embarrassing way: "I didn't Thinking about it, Uncle Zhou called my dad and said that he wanted to treat the savior of the Da Zhou Group to dinner. Knowing that I am a teammate of Gu Chen's basketball team, he specially invited me to accompany him. "

Huo Mingzhang was triumphant, and said in high spirits: "Is it a surprise, is it a surprise?"

Zhou Xiaoting was so angry that she almost exploded on the spot.He was also worried about the presence of Papa Huo and Mama Huo, so it was not good to throw face in front of the guests.He could only complain in a low voice: "Dad, Mom, we agreed to treat Gu Chen to dinner. Why did you call someone else?"

"They are all your classmates, and they are not outsiders." Zhou Xiaoting's mother said with a smile: "Didn't your father and I think about how lively the crowd is?"

But this is a busy event with so many people!

Zhou Xiaoting was dissatisfied.The Zhou family didn't care about appeasing their daughter's emotions, and greeted Gu Chen with a smile: "You must be Gu Chen. The young man is so handsome. Sit down quickly."

Then asked Gu Chen: "Do you drink tea, coffee, or fruit juice?"

Gu Chen said, "Anything is fine."

"Then let's drink tea." Father Zhou said with a smile, "Pu'er, are you used to drinking it?"

Gu Chen nodded again: "Yes."

Mother Zhou smiled and asked, "Where are you from?"

Gu Chen said: "My hometown is Xuecheng."

Zhou's mother said: "Syracuse is a good place. The mountains are beautiful and the water is beautiful. When Xiaoting's father was young, he went there to join the team."

This word is a bit too long, Gu Chen was taken aback when he heard it.

Father Zhou said: "Children today have never heard of jumping in the queue. I'm afraid they haven't even heard of what an educated youth is."

Zhou Yueting asked Gu Chen: "I heard that you are very good at investing in stocks. I also graduated from the Department of Finance. We can communicate if we have the opportunity."

Gu Chen nodded: "Okay."

After chatting for a while, the Zhou family found that although Gu Chen's words and demeanor were polite, his attitude was always indifferent.Not as chatty and lively as they imagined.There is no such thing as a gold medal sales should have all-round exquisite, brilliant tongue.The whole person exudes a gentle and indifferent temperament.Clear and cold, it really doesn't look like the kind of scheming public relations expert.It's not like a phoenix man who tricks a rich girl and then takes the opportunity to climb up.

The estimate was a bit wrong!

While exchanging pleasantries, the Zhou family looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

Finally, it was time for dinner, and everyone came to the table together.

Zhou's mother warmly greeted Gu Chen: "I heard from Xiaoting that you like sweet and sour pork ribs and squirrel mandarin fish. Try our home cooking and see if it suits your taste?"

"If you like, Xiaoting can bring you here often on weekends. Your home is out of town, and you can't go back several times a year. Take this as your home. Auntie will cook delicious food for you." Zhou's mother said She said, looking at her husband: "To be honest, I see that Gu Chen is so smart and has a good temper. I really want to adopt him as a godson."

Zhou's father looked at Gu Chen calmly: "If you want to adopt a son, it depends on whether Gu Chen is willing."

This is also the best way the Zhou family can think of to repay Gu Chen.In the past, the sales maid employees were slandered for selling houses by relying on their bodies. If there is a big trouble, it will definitely have a great negative impact on Dazhou Tianxia.Gu Chen's series of operations can be said to have saved the reputation of the sales department of the entire Dazhou Group.In terms of emotion and reason, the Zhou family should thank Gu Chen deeply.

It turned out that Zhou's father cherished Gu Chen's talent and thanked Gu Chen for his timely response. He wanted to make an exception and promote Gu Chen to the president's office to be an assistant by Zhou Yueting's side.But the Zhou family's parents inadvertently discovered something was wrong when Zhou Xiaoting talked about Gu Chen.

That kind of mood is rippling and colorful, and the state where people can't help getting excited when they talk about people is clearly the girl Huaichun.Thinking about the whole matter of crisis public relations, Gu Chen contacted Zhou Xiaoting privately and asked Zhou Xiaoting to handle it.Zhou's father and Zhou's mother inevitably don't think too much.

So he called his son back, and after the family of three discussed quietly, they decided to take care of Shen as his son.First, there is an explanation to the outside world, so that everyone can see clearly that the Zhou family will repay their kindness.Secondly, I also wanted to use this move to dispel Zhou Xiaoting's unrealistic thoughts.Of course, for Gu Chen, a student boy with no background and connections from out of town can become the godson of the chairman of Dazhou Group in one step, and that is definitely a good thing.

At that time, no matter how well the Zhou family cultivates and cultivates Gu Chen, if they can cultivate a loyal deputy for the Da Zhou Group and Zhou Yueting, then it will be a good talk of mutual benefit.

It's a pity that the Zhou family has a lot of calculations, and they didn't take into account Gu Chen's temper.Unexpectedly, Gu Chen didn't want to be someone else's son at all.

Facing the expectant eyes of the Zhou family, Gu Chen just smiled and said nothing.He just lowered his head to eat and picked fishbone slowly, as if he didn't see the olive branch thrown by Zhou's mother.

——The main reason is that in his previous life, Gu Chen had been someone's grandson for the rest of his life.Why bother to be someone else's son after living a new life.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.Just when the Zhou family was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say to smooth things over, Huo Mingzhang grinningly picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Gu Chen with his serving chopsticks, and took the initiative to attack: "I said Gu Chen, look at your current ability, Being a small sales consultant in the sales office of the Dazhou Group is really a waste of talent. Would you like to think about coming to our Huo Group for an internship? I told my dad that as long as you are willing to come, I will let you Be an assistant to the president. Follow my dad every day, teach by precepts and deeds, and be influenced by what he sees and hears. It is no more promising than you being a salesman."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Gu Chen, even Zhou Xiaoting and the rest of the Zhou family didn't react.

After a long time, Zhou Xiaoting was the first to come back to her senses, and scolded angrily: "Good you Huo Mingzhang! I knew you were a weasel giving chickens New Year's greetings, and you didn't have good intentions. You are eating our family's food and prying our family's people, you Excuse me?"

"What do you call a person who pries your family?" Zhou Xiaoting said this, and Huo Mingzhang didn't like to hear it: "It's clear that your family wants to recognize Gu Chen as a son, but Gu Chen doesn't want to call your father a father. Then it's not your family." people."

"At best, I was an intern in a small sales department of the company your family owned. I didn't even sign a formal personnel contract, and I didn't pay five social insurances and one housing fund. Even if the sales performance is good every month I can't even get the monthly sales champion reward. I heard that when he was working part-time in the sales department, he was bullied by the sales manager of your Dazhou Group. On this condition, you have the nerve to shout and sign with him It’s like a bond of sale in your family?”

"You—" Zhou Xiaoting was rarely speechless by Huo Mingzhang.Even the Zhou family members were warmed up.

Huo Mingzhang wanted to put Zhou Xiaoting on the pry, and prevent his father from referring to Zhou Xiaoting about him every day.That can be regarded as having made sufficient preparations and tried all the best: "So when it comes to cherishing talents, don't just talk nicely. You have to take practical actions. You also have to fully respect the opinions of the parties involved."

"It's like marriage, you have to do it voluntarily."

"Otherwise, why did the ancients always say 'A gentleman loves talent, marry him in a proper way'?" Huo Mingzhang said every sentence, and he didn't forget to turn his head and ask Gu Chen: "Have you considered it? How about going to be the secretary to the president of our Huo Group? "

"That's under one person, above ten thousand people. It's more than a star and a half better than you being a salesman in the Dazhou Group!"
