Confession of Rebirth

"what's the situation?"

After Gu Chen hung up the phone, he saw the three roommates staring at him curiously.

"The city is going to hold a meeting to discuss the scope of demolition, so let me attend the meeting." Because it was in a public place, Gu Chen didn't make it too clear.But Gao Haiyang and the others would definitely understand.

"You are amazing!" Gao Haiyang gave Gu Chen a thumbs up: "What kind of meeting is this? Anyway, the standard is quite high, right?"

Gu Chen said with a smile: "That is to refer to my opinion. After all, I wrote the first draft of the planning plan for this project."

"That's amazing!" He Qingchen said with a smile: "Some people struggle all their lives, but they may not be able to say a word in this kind of meeting."

"Anyway, our Shen Chen this time, gave us a big boost. To be able to participate in this level of meeting as a student, and to be able to offer opinions, no matter what, it is all for the glory of the school!" Zhao Shu patted Gu Chen Shoulder: "This is a great event, let's celebrate with skewers tonight."

He Qingchen asked Gu Chen: "Then do you still have to go to Professor Xing?"

Gu Chen nodded.

"Then let's go in and eat quickly! Go get down to business after dinner!" Gao Haiyang urged.

The four of them walked into the cafeteria while talking.Gu Chen went to the window to line up to buy breakfast, when he heard someone calling him softly behind him.

Gu Chen turned his head and found that the person who called him was Shang Rui, a female classmate in the same class.Shang Rui is wearing a bright yellow dress with white fluff on the neckline and cuffs today, and a pair of moccasin boots on her feet.There is also delicate light makeup on the face.With a smile on his face, he waved and greeted Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was a little surprised: "You went back to school today?"

"I saw the February [-] market you held on the Internet. It was very lively and beautiful, so I wanted to come back for a visit. The other girls in our dormitory also thought the same. So we made an appointment and returned two days in advance. school, and then go shopping together." Shang Rui looked up at Gu Chen, and said softly, "Gu Chen, have you grown taller again?"

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Really, I didn't pay attention."

"It must have grown taller." Shang Rui made a gesture with his hands: "But it's also thinner. Is it because you are too busy with work and don't pay attention to rest?"

"It's okay!" Gu Chen lived in Professor Xing's house for half a month, and Teacher Qi made delicious food in different ways every day. Gu Chen felt that he was getting fat.

"Anyway, you have to take good care of yourself." Shang Rui swallowed her saliva, her cheeks were hot, and she was a little nervous, but she still plucked up the courage to ask: "I saw the video uploaded by an alumnus. Are you really the second day of the new year?" came back?"

Gu Chen nodded.

Shang Rui pursed her lips, and wanted to ask Gu Chen if he came back so early for the reason mentioned in the video.But I was too embarrassed to ask, and pondered again and again, just persuading: "Don't take what Gu Xiu said to heart. You are so outstanding, I believe your parents must like you very much. They must also be very kind, so they treat Gu Xiu It's good for Xiu to have an adopted son. It's just that Gu Xiu doesn't know what's good and what's wrong."

Gu Chen suddenly realized, and then realized that Shang Rui stopped him because he wanted to comfort him after watching the video.Gu Chen smiled: "Don't worry. I didn't take it to heart. The reason why I came back so early is to prepare for the February [-] market."

Shang Rui nodded, but he didn't quite believe Gu Chen's words in his heart.I just took care of Gu Chen's mood, and didn't want to say anything to make him sad: "That's good. The February [-] market is really great. I see it's being praised on the Internet. Your hard work was not in vain."

When the line reached Gu Chen's place, the aunt in the cafeteria reminded Gu Chen to cook.Gu Chen turned around, and ordered a bowl of pumpkin porridge, a box of vegetarian steamed buns, and a cold jellyfish skin.

The auntie in the canteen knew that Gu Chen liked to eat sweets, so she asked with a smile, "There are Quicksand Custard Buns just out of the pan, why don't you come for two?"

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Then two more custard buns."

After finishing the meal, Gu Chen nodded at Shang Rui, and returned to his seat with the plate.

Shang Rui turned to look at Gu Chen's back, and found that Gu Chen's state was a little more energetic than when he just started school.

The cafeteria aunt looked at the female student whose neck was twisted like a big white goose, and raised her voice and asked, "Girl, what do you want to eat?"

"Oh!" Shang Rui came back to his senses: "I want a cup of soy milk and a pancake."

Shang Rui took the breakfast to find his best friend.

"How is it?" Several girlfriends looked at Shang Rui and asked gossipingly.

"I didn't ask." Shang Rui said, "But I think Gu Chen is in good condition. Even if something happens, it shouldn't affect him."

"How could it not be affected!" Some people curled their lips disapprovingly: "It's not like you haven't seen Gu Xiu's rampant look in yesterday's video, we outsiders are angry watching it, let alone Gu Chen is the person involved."

"Before, there were rumors in our school that Gu Xiu was abused in Gu's family, and the Gu family didn't treat him well at all. In my opinion, Gu Chen's parents didn't treat him too well. Otherwise, Gu Xiu wouldn't dare to take this Such things run against Gu Chen."

"Gu Xiu passed it on by himself! At the beginning of school, who knew who? It wasn't Gu Xiu who said it himself, who knew that he was adopted by the Gu family."

"The scheming is so deep! Does he want to use his life experience to gain sympathy?"

"Anyway, I think Gu Xiu is a bit sinister. The adopted child ran away from home on the second day of the Lunar New Year when the biological child was pushed aside, and dared to show off in front of Gu Chen. Who would believe it?"

Shang Rui explained: "Gu Chen didn't run away from home, he returned to City A in advance to prepare for the February [-] market."

"Anyway, that's what happened. You don't like to argue if you bully Gu Chen!" The girlfriends said in a hurry: "Also, he was fired by the Huo Group, why did he go to Gu Chen to make trouble? Who is in our school?" I don't know, but Gu Chen and Huo Mingzhang don't like each other. Could he still tell Huo Mingzhang to let Huo Mingzhang resign Gu Xiu?"

"Even if Gu Chen said it, it's impossible for Huo Mingzhang to listen!"

"Exactly! We Shen Shen are too busy speculating in stocks to make money, publishing books, writing papers, working as a teaching assistant for Professor Xing to sort out data, and adding bricks and tiles to the city's urban construction planning. We are too busy to take care of other people's affairs. I think Gu Xiu is full and wants to bully honest people."

Several other people nodded in agreement.They all felt that Gu Xiu was looking for trouble for nothing, and was a little ungrateful.

On the other hand, Gu Chen didn't know that there were so many female students in the class. After watching the sneak shot video, he was filled with righteous indignation and defended him.After breakfast, Gu Chen took a taxi to Professor Xing's house, intending to ask Professor Xing what he should prepare before going to the meeting.

"The city may ask you about the scope of the demolition. You can tell me what you think." Professor Xing said: "The main reason is that you wrote the plan to develop the commercial street in the old city. In addition, the results on February [-] are very outstanding. The leaders of the city agree that your opinion is a reference. But it is only a reference."

"If a project wants to be successfully promoted, there are many factors that need to be considered. Not only the project planning itself, but also the interests of investors should be considered. You should understand this."

Gu Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Professor Xing glanced at Gu Chen: "Since we're here, we'll have lunch at home. Your teacher's mother's stewed crucian carp tofu soup, you can drink two more bowls to replenish your vitality."

"If you want to check any information, go back to your room and look it up. I see you brought your computer."

Gu Chen couldn't help but nodded with a smile.

After lunch at the professor's house, Gu Chen returned to school with a warm body.I don't know if it's the spiritual effect or the soup made by Teacher Qi has an effect, anyway, Gu Chen feels that he is in good spirits, and it won't be a problem to stay up for another ten nights.

Passing by the fried chestnut stall at the school gate, Gu Chen was attracted by the rich aroma of chestnuts.I bought two catties of freshly fried chestnuts and prepared to take them home for my roommates to eat.As soon as he turned around, he found a car parked quietly beside the road. Ling Fei rolled down the window and looked up at Gu Chen who was expressionless: "Is it convenient for us to chat?"

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows: "I don't know if Boss Ling has heard a sentence, it's not speculative."

Ling Fei smiled and said, "Student Gu doesn't need to reject me so much. Since I can come, I naturally come with full sincerity."

It's a pity that Gu Chen is not very interested in the sincerity of the Ling family.

Ling Fei smiled: "Student Gu, don't be so absolute. Since you are so sure that you won't be moved by the sincerity of my preparation, you might as well find a quiet place to sit down and see the sincerity of my preparation."

"Or, you don't even have the confidence and are afraid of being moved by my sincerity?"

Gu Chen stood on the sidewalk, looked down at Ling Fei, his eyes were impassive: "Mr. Ling thinks that your clumsy aggressive method is useful to me?"

"This is not the aggressive method." Ling Fei patiently explained: "We are all members of the Western faction, and our interests are the same. I am just trying to please you now, and I want a win-win situation."

"It's a pity that I'm not a businessman now, and I don't want to do business with Boss Ling." Gu Chen knew that Ling Fei came to him only for the demolition plan.Yesterday he chatted with the city leaders, and he also heard that the city's urban construction plan, for demolition, only plans to demolish some shantytowns and urban villages.However, none of the properties and department stores under the Ling Group are located in urban villages or shanty towns.So the Ling Group has been jumping up and down to attract representatives these days, just to persuade the city to expand the scope of demolition.No matter how bad it is, they have to play tricks on the planned subway line.

Gu Chen is well aware of the small calculations of the Ling Group.But he didn't bother to pay attention.

Ling Fei looked at the back of Gu Chen who was unmoved and directly entered the school gate, and sneered: "Another stubborn donkey."

The special assistant sitting in the co-pilot frowned and asked, "Boss Ling, what should we do now?"

Ling Fei leaned on the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.The car suddenly fell silent.

The driver glanced at the time, and reminded: "Today is Missy's birthday, and the birthday party tonight—"

"Go back!" Ling Fei said slowly.

Ling Fei's special assistant glanced at Ling Fei, and said cautiously: "I heard that the son of the Huo Group will also come to the birthday party tonight—"

Ling Fei sneered: "The Dazhou Group has collapsed, Huo Yuankai, an old fox, wants to form an alliance with our Ling family. He treats his son as a treasure, and he can move it wherever he wants to form an alliance with. My uncle, let alone, I just covet that circle, and if I have the opportunity, of course I will sharpen my head and rush in. That idiot Ling Yiyi is just a bond, a tool for marriage."

Hearing Ling Fei's words, the special assistant didn't take it seriously.Ling Fei is from the Ling family, so he naturally feels that the Ling Group has the confidence and capital to form an alliance with the Huo Group.However, in the eyes of the special assistant, Ling's Group, which only deals in property and department stores, is still far behind Huo's Group, the leader in the real estate industry.If it is a project to develop the commercial street in the old city this time, it is good that the Ling Group can win the land within the planning range. If not, why should the Huo Group form an alliance with the Ling Family?

As for Huo Mingzhang coming to Missy's birthday party, it was also because the chairman personally handed over the invitation to the chairman of the Huo Group.But even so, Huo Yuankai didn't intend to come over in person, and sending a junior to the door was enough to show the Huo family's attitude towards the Ling family.

But these words, the special assistant didn't dare to say these words in front of Ling Fei.The Ling family has an arrogant temperament in their bones, and the special assistant doesn't want to cause trouble.

Gu Chen returned to the dormitory, distributed the chestnuts to his roommates, glanced at the calendar on He Qingchen's desk inadvertently, and was suddenly taken aback: "Today is the sixth day of February?"

"Yes! The 27th, the sixth day of February." He Qingchen asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Gu Chen shook his head.He just suddenly remembered that today is Ling Yiyi's birthday.

In her previous life, on this day, Gu Xiu, who worked as a tutor in Qiao's family, followed the three members of Qiao's family to Ling Yiyi's birthday party, and had an argument with Zhou Xiaoting at the banquet.In the pushing room, Ling pushed her down the stairs one by one.When sent to the hospital for an examination, it was accidentally discovered that Gu Xiu was the child lost by the chairman of the Ling Group in his early years.

Then Gu Xiu was recognized by the Ling family as a matter of course.

In this life, I don't know if Gu Xiu will have a chance to be recognized by the Ling family.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen frowned.Suddenly thought of one thing - if Gu Xiu couldn't be recognized by the Ling family, would he stay in the Gu family for the rest of his life?

"Gu Chen? Gu Chen?"

"Ah?" Gu Chen came back to his senses, looked at Gao Haiyang who was waving in front of him: "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about so preoccupied!" Gao Haiyang handed the washed apple to Gu Chen: "Come and eat the apple."

"Thank you." Gu Chen took the apple, and said casually: "I will finish writing the mind maps of "Accounting" and "Auditing" soon. I will give it to you this weekend."

"Don't worry." Gao Haiyang paused, and then added: "But it would be better if you could finish writing quickly. You don't know, since Dazhou Group helped you promote it last year, this set of references Books are very popular now. Even many cram schools are purchasing your mind map as tutoring materials. Many people are urging the full set.”

Gu Chen didn't quite understand this.However, Gu Chen was very happy to hear that his book was liked by so many people.

On the other side, Gu Xiu was sitting in the carriage, watching the car drive into the carved and hollow iron gate of Ling's house. The clean road was lined with wide lawns and low lighting. At the door, Gu Xiu got out of the car nervously.Looking at the slightly cynical Huo Mingzhang beside him: "This place is so beautiful!"

"Is it beautiful?" Huo Mingzhang raised his eyebrows, looking at the magnificently decorated and overly luxurious Ling family villa: "It's not bad."

Anyway, he doesn't appreciate this style very much.No foundation, high-profile too nouveau riche.

Gu Xiu said nervously: "This is the first time I've been to this kind of place, do you think the owner here will look down on me?"

"How come! You are the person I brought, looking down on you is no different from looking down on me." Huo Mingzhang lazily explained: "Besides, you really want to enter my social circle. I brought you here, but you regretted it gone?"

Last night, Gu Xiu went to Gu Chen to make trouble because of his resignation, and Huo Mingzhang was very dissatisfied.But Gu Xiu cried and told him that it was because he didn't know what he was thinking and didn't dare to ask, so he was thinking wildly.He also said that since the two dated, Gu Xiu could not see Huo Mingzhang at all except that he could be with Huo Mingzhang during the school period.He didn't know about Huo Mingzhang's life, didn't know what friends Huo Mingzhang had, and didn't know what kind of occasions Huo Mingzhang liked to go out of school.I'm worried that Huo Mingzhang is like many people say, I just want to play with him, not a serious relationship at all.

Huo Mingzhang was very angry at first, but when he saw Gu Xiu crying, his heart softened again.Anyway, Huo Mingzhang really liked Gu Xiu's face.Don't look at the vicious rumors outside, but Huo Mingzhang has never been in a relationship.Gu Xiu can be said to be his first love in a serious relationship.Although after the semester of dating, Huo Mingzhang realized that Gu Xiu was different from what he imagined.But that initial throb is real.

Even if Huo Mingzhang was angry with Gu Xiu, he didn't want to see Gu Xiu crying so pitifully.It just so happened that Huo Yuankai asked him to attend Ling Yiyi's birthday party.Huo Mingzhang simply brought Gu Xiu over.Firstly, it was to make Gu Xiu happy, and secondly, it was also to let the Ling family get out of trouble.Don't think that any cat or dog is qualified to form an alliance with the Huo family.

"I didn't go back on my word!" Hearing Huo Mingzhang's words, Gu Xiu said quickly.It was hard for him to let Huo Mingzhang bring him into this circle, how could he go back on his word.

Gu Xiu looked up at the majestic and luxurious Ling family mansion, this is the life he wanted.

"Huo! Ming! Zhang! You are going too far!" Just when Gu Xiu was imagining when he would be able to live such a life, an angry voice interrupted his train of thought.

I saw a girl wearing a champagne evening dress, white high heels, long hair and a shawl, standing in front of them as beautiful as a princess, glaring at Huo Mingzhang with flaming eyes: "You actually brought your adopted lover to my birthday party?" ? What do you think of me? Are you still worthy of sister Xiaoting?"

Huo Mingzhang picked his ears with his fingers: "Be quiet, I can hear you."

"Why should I keep my voice down?" Ling Yiyi glared at Gu Xiu and shouted at Huo Mingzhang: "Why don't you let me tell you about the ugly things you did?"

The dispute between the two immediately attracted the attention of the guests.Ling Yiyi's parents also hurried over: "What are you arguing about? Today is your birthday party."

"Dad! Mom! Look at Huo Mingzhang!" Ling Yiyi pointed at Gu Xiu and complained to his parents: "He actually brought his little lover to my birthday party. This is too much! He put What do you think of me? What do you think of our Ling family?"

Hearing Ling Yiyi's words and seeing the disdainful eyes of the people around, Gu Xiu suddenly panicked: "No. I'm not Mingzhang's lover, you misunderstood."

"He is my friend. I brought him here." Huo Mingzhang looked at Chairman Ling and his wife: "If your daughter is sure that he is not welcome, we can leave."

"How could it be!" Chairman Ling's complexion changed, and he said with a smile: "The visitor is a guest, of course we welcome it."

Madam Ling looked at Gu Xiu with some embarrassment, and considering that there were guests all around, she didn't say anything rude.

"Go ahead!"

Huo Mingzhang raised his eyebrows, put his arms around Gu Xiu's shoulders, and swaggered into the hall of the villa.

Joanna, who also came to the banquet, looked at Huo Mingzhang and Gu Xiu, and sneered, "Young Master Huo is just as tasteless as before. I just like this kind of empty vase. How dare you bring this kind of person to this kind of occasion Come on. You're not ashamed."

"Oh?" Huo Mingzhang raised his eyebrows, and looked at Joanna with a half-smile: "Then tell me, what kind of people should I bring to the banquet on such an occasion, so that it is not shameful?"

Joanna glanced at Gu Xiu, and said intentionally, "Whatever happens, he must be like his brother!"

"However, I heard that Gu Chen seems to look down on youngsters like Huo Shao." Joanna laughed: "That's right, he is a good young man, how could he look down on a worthless rich kid like you. What about you?" , so it deserves to be with this kind of thing."
