Hearing that Joanna belittled herself to nothing in front of all the banquet guests, Gu Xiu only felt her face burning hot and angry.But the shadow Joanna left on him was too great, and Gu Xiu didn't dare to attack him directly, for fear that Joanna would slap him indiscriminately in the public.He also didn't want to be sharp-tongued in front of Huo Mingzhang, because he knew that Huo Mingzhang didn't like partners who were too aggressive.So Gu Xiu could only look at Huo Mingzhang pitifully, hoping that Huo Mingzhang would show him off.

Huo Mingzhang also felt uncomfortable.He also thinks that Gu Xiu's ability is not as good as Gu Chen's, but this is his own business.Being pointed out by Joanna in front of so many guests, and using this as an excuse to ridicule him for his bad taste, Huo Mingzhang inevitably became angry from embarrassment.He suppressed his anger and glanced at Joanna's parents: "This is Miss Ling's birthday party. It seems inappropriate for Qian Jin to speak so loudly at someone else's birthday party."

Joanna's parents didn't dare to provoke the son of the Huo Group.Hearing this, she immediately taught her daughter a lesson: "Anna, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and apologize to Huo Shao's friends."

Hearing Mrs. Qiao's words, the guests present smiled at each other.They also understood Mrs. Qiao's subtext—apologize to Huo Shao's friends, not to Gu Xiu himself.In other words, Mrs. Qiao didn't think there was a problem with Joanna's words, but she just didn't want to offend the Huo family out of courtesy.

Huo Mingzhang naturally understood what the guests could understand.He frowned, although he was still a little dissatisfied, but this was the daughter of the Ling family's birthday party after all.The guests are welcome, even if Huo Mingzhang and the Huo family don't take the Ling family seriously, it's not good to be too aggressive at other people's birthday parties.

Joanna pouted, and reluctantly said "I'm sorry" to Gu Xiu.Gu Xiu didn't notice anything wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, and after hearing Joanna's apology, there was a bit of satisfaction in the brows.He glanced at Joanna affectionately, and said magnanimously, "It's okay. It's just that Anna, you should be more careful in what you say in the future. After all, I have been a tutor for you, so I know that you are not bad, but sometimes you have a bad temper. So I won't argue with you, if it's someone else, you won't be as easy to talk to as me."

If Gu Xiu hadn't said this, Joanna would have been pressured by her parents to apologize.But Gu Xiu put on such a face that is unreasonable and trying to pretend to be magnanimous.The anger in Joanna's heart rushed to her forehead, and immediately sneered: "Forget it. You taught me for a semester, and my grades fell from the middle and lower reaches of the class to the bottom three. Originally I can still take the second exam, but now I can’t even get into a good private undergraduate. My mother is ready to let me repeat it. It’s a waste of my time for a year. I advise you not to be a tutor in the future. The young master's little lover is fine. Don't go wrong with your younger brother."

As soon as Joanna said this, the faces of the guests present immediately changed.Apart from Ling Yiyi's classmates and parents, the guests who can come to Ling Yiyi's birthday party are the partners of Ling Group.Most of these guests have one thing in common, that is, they are about the same age as Chairman Ling and Mrs. Ling.There are also children at home.Since you are a parent, no matter what the family conditions are, you must care about your child's academic performance.When Gu Xiu went to be a tutor, instead of improving Joanna's academic performance, it caused Joanna's grades to plummet.Isn't this just misleading the younger generation!

Joanna became more and more angry as she thought about it, and glared at Huo Mingzhang: "You still have the nerve to throw face at me. If you hadn't insisted on letting Gu Xiu be my tutor, I would have fallen to the point of repeating my studies? I changed so many tutors, you The little lover is the worst one! Why do you use my studies and my future to make your little lover happy? Do I owe you, or our Qiao family owes you?"

Hearing Joanna's accusation, Huo Mingzhang looked embarrassed for a moment, and felt guilty.This matter is indeed that he is sorry for Joanna.He didn't expect that Gu Xiu, a student from University A, couldn't even deal with a little girl in the third year of high school.

Hearing Joanna bring up the old story again, Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao fell silent.Children's academic performance has plummeted, and they feel uncomfortable as parents.He also complained about Huo Mingzhang's inaction.It's just that due to the power of the Huo family, it's not easy for them to pursue it.But now that Joanna said it herself, they wouldn't stop her.Although the Qiao family's power is not as powerful as that of the Huo family, they are not afraid to say a word in front of Huo Mingzhang, a junior.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhang kept his mouth shut and the guests around him looked strange, Gu Xiu panicked and blurted out, "I've tried my best to teach, but you don't want to learn. Do you have to blame me? I work so hard every day to prepare teaching plans. You don't cherish the fruits of my labor at all, and beat people at every turn, isn't it just bullying me because I have no parents and no family background? If you are not afraid of Mingzhang's investigation—"

"Okay." Huo Mingzhang interrupted Gu Xiu, and looked at Joanna: "I didn't think carefully about the tutoring. There are still a few months before the college entrance examination. If you want to learn, I can introduce you to some teachers." Special grade teacher, specially tutoring for you. Among other things, it should be no problem to bring your grades back to the second line."

Hearing Huo Mingzhang's words, Gu Xiu also echoed: "Yes! There are still more than three months before the college entrance examination. If you have the heart, study hard, listen carefully, and listen to the teacher's words. Maybe the college entrance examination is over and you can take the exam. What about the last two books!"

Joanna was furious when she heard the words: "You—"

Ling Yiyi and Mrs. Ling who rushed over from behind happened to hear the last words.The mother and daughter looked at each other in blank dismay.Ling Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes.Madam Ling also laughed to herself, she didn't expect that there are people in this world who are so stupid.Not to mention the height of his eyebrows and eyes, he is obviously very proud of himself, but on the surface he pretends to be pitiful and generous.It's pitiful and magnanimous, but not in a serious place, but it vividly expresses the demeanor of a fox pretending to be a tiger.

It really is a thing that can't be put on the stage.

Madam Ling smiled, as if she had watched a play.Step forward to smooth things over.However, the disapproval on his face couldn't be concealed at all.Of course, Mrs. Ling didn't mean to hide it.Ling Yiyi celebrated his birthday, Chairman Ling sent an invitation to the Huo family.The meaning is clear at a glance.However, the Huo family didn't take the olive branch handed over by the Ling family seriously at all, and casually sent a junior over to dismiss the Ling family.Huo Mingzhang was even more arrogant.Knowing what the Ling family meant, she dared to bring her little lover to show off.Tell everyone with practical actions that the Huo family doesn't care about the Ling family's overtures.Not to mention forming an alliance with the Ling family.

This slap hit the Ling family firmly in the face.After today, I don't know how many people will laugh at the Ling family's back posting and be looked down upon.The Ling family was worried that there was no place to turn the situation around, but they didn't expect Gu Xiu to stand up and lose a grown-up by himself.This is a "friend" brought over by the Huo family's youngest. He was so embarrassing at the banquet, so Huo Mingzhang and even the Huo family were the ones who were ashamed.

Now everyone knows that the youngest of the Huo family has bad taste, and he likes this kind of little thing that has no strength but is full of heart.

Huo Mingzhang also noticed the Ling family's schadenfreude.But this kind of tacit understanding, no one will bring it to the table.Huo Mingzhang had a bad time, but he didn't feel like having a seizure.He could only digest it sullenly, and his attitude towards Gu Xiu also unknowingly cooled down.

Gu Xiu didn't know what went wrong, and looked at Huo Mingzhang with a look of panic.

Huo Mingzhang couldn't see Gu Xiu's pitiful appearance, so he cheered up and comforted Gu Xiu: "Maybe it's too boring. Wait for me here, and I'll go to the bathroom." He smoked a cigarette and suppressed the fire.

Gu Xiu grabbed Huo Mingzhang's sleeve with some anxiety: "I'll accompany you."

Huo Mingzhang frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Stop making trouble." He had already lost such an adult just now, and if he took Gu Xiu to the bathroom now, he might say what those gossips would say.

Gu Xiu didn't expect that Huo Mingzhang would lose his temper with him at such a time, so he was stunned.

Huo Mingzhang didn't care to appease Gu Xiu's petty emotions, so he shook off Gu Xiu's hand and went to the bathroom.

When I came out, I heard a commotion in the hall.He pushed aside the crowd and walked up, only to find Gu Xiu lying unconscious on the ground with a large pool of blood under his body.Surrounded by a circle of people.Ling Yiyi and Joanna stood on the stairs at a loss, looking at everyone in astonishment: "It wasn't me. I didn't push him, he rolled down by himself."

However, many guests saw with their own eyes that Gu Xiu and Ling Yiyi Joanna had an argument on the stairs, Ling Yiyi pushed Gu Xiu, and Gu Xiu fell down the stairs without standing still.

Madam Ling looked at Huo Mingzhang with a livid face, walked up and explained: "I'm sorry, it's our fault for not taking good care of your friend—"

"Okay!" Huo Mingzhang impatiently interrupted Mrs. Ling, went to Gu Xiu and squatted down, but did not dare to touch him, for fear of making Gu Xiu's injury worse if he was not careful: "Hurry up and call an ambulance."

"According to the X-ray, the patient's right ankle is not fractured, but there is some edema. It's nothing serious. Apply ice. I'll prescribe you a pain reliever spray..."

"Thank you doctor." He Qingchen struggled to stand up.

Gu Chen reached out and pressed He Qingchen's shoulder: "Sit down. I'll prescribe the medicine for you."

He Qingchen looked at his right foot that was swollen like a steamed bun, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry." Can't see the way.With one foot on the ice, he sat down firmly on a big buttock, unable to move due to the pain.He could only call Gu Chen and Zhao Shu and ask them to drive him to the hospital—fortunately, it was just a sprained ankle, not a broken bone.Otherwise, he would be hurt for a hundred days, and he might delay his postgraduate re-examination.

"What's the trouble? Back then, I was not feeling well, so you sent me to the hospital overnight. This is what I should do." Holding the medical certificate issued by the doctor, Gu Chen went downstairs to pay for the medicine.

While queuing up, I suddenly heard someone behind me shout in surprise: "Gu Chen?"

When Gu Chen turned his head, he saw Huo Mingzhang and a group of gorgeously dressed people standing behind.

Huo Mingzhang asked nervously, "Why are you here? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Does your body hurt again?"

Huo Mingzhang still remembers the sudden outbreak of symptoms when Gu Chen played basketball a few times.He thought that Gu Chen had fallen ill again.

"My roommate sprained his ankle, and I prescribed medicine for him." Gu Chen explained.He glanced at the person next to Huo Mingzhang calmly.Immediately I knew it.

Co-authoring is going through a plot!

"A sprained ankle?" Huo Mingzhang reacted immediately: "Then do you have a car when you go back, do you want me to take you?"

"No need. My roommate drove us here." Gu Chen was talking, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Gao Haiyang who had just rushed over after get off work: "This is it!"

Gao Haiyang rushed to Gu Chen: "What's the matter? Is it serious?"

"I sprained my ankle, it needs to be healed for a while, try not to do strenuous exercise..." Gu Chen said, leading Gao Haiyang directly upstairs.

Huo Mingzhang looked at Gu Chen's back, a little lost in thought.

Ling Fei looked at Huo Mingzhang who was obviously a little strange, and said with a smile: "This Gu Xiu is the younger brother adopted by Gu Chen's family, right?"

The Ling Group has recently tried every means to win over members of the Western faction.As Professor Xing's favorite student, Gu Chen is also the initiator of the plan to develop commercial streets in the old western city. Even the city will take his opinion seriously.Of course Ling Fei would not let go of such an important chess piece.He had already investigated the matter of Gu Chen's family clearly.

Huo Mingzhang answered absently.

Ling Fei smiled and said: "I heard that the relationship between the two brothers is not good. Gu Chen flew back to City A from his hometown on the second day of the Lunar New Year because of his younger brother."

Huo Mingzhang looked at Ling Fei deeply: "What do you want to say?"

Ling Fei smiled. Just as he was about to speak, the nurse raised his voice and said, "The patient in bed 22 needs blood transfusion. He has Rh-negative blood. This blood type is very special. Our hospital's blood bank has no stock."

"He's also Rh-negative blood?" Ling Fei frowned, obviously a little unhappy - the blood type of this unappealing thing is actually the same as that of the Ling family.

"Suck me! I'm also Rh-negative blood." Mrs. Ling took the initiative to stand up.Although she somewhat looked down on Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu happened at Ling Yiyi's birthday party after all, and so many people saw that Gu Xiu was pushed down by Ling Yiyi himself.In terms of emotion and reason, the Ling family should bear this responsibility.

Seeing this, the nurse subconsciously asked, "Are you the patient's immediate family?"

"No." Madam Ling shook her head and denied, "He is our guest."

Mrs. Ling followed the nurse and donated 400CC of blood.When I came out, I was a little dizzy.Ling Yiyi supported her mother with special distress, and sat down beside her.Not long after, the nurse in the operating room suddenly ran out in a panic: "The patient had an adverse reaction after blood transfusion..."

Immediately afterwards, the doctor from the blood transfusion department also came out: "What's the matter with your family members? Direct blood transfusions are not allowed between immediate family members. Don't you know this kind of common sense?"

The people guarding outside the operating room were stunned for a moment, unable to react at all.After a long time, Ling Fei was the first to come back to his senses: "Doctor, have you made a mistake? The patients in the operating room are not from our Ling family—"

"Impossible!" The doctor in the blood transfusion department said directly: "The patient now has a rejection reaction. This kind of adverse reaction can only be caused by direct blood transfusion between immediate family members!"

In an instant, everyone was stunned again.

In the orthopedic department, Zhao Shu carried He Qingchen on his back, Gu Chen and Gao Haiyang supported him, and several people hurried into the elevator. When they walked out of the hospital building, Gu Chen subconsciously glanced at the floor of the operating room.

Gao Haiyang asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Gu Chen came back to his senses.It is guessed that Gu Xiu must have admitted to the Ling family under the influence of the plot halo at this moment.

Gu Chen remembered that not long after Gu Xiu returned to Ling's house in his previous life, during the summer vacation of his freshman year, he mentioned to Chairman Ling and Mrs. Ling that he wanted to do an internship in Ling's Group.Although in this life, Gu Chen will definitely not repeat the same mistakes, but he is not sure if this episode is an important plot.If so, his violation of the plot will definitely cause rejection.To resist this rejection, Gu Chen needs to further improve his reputation.

But in a short period of time, is there any measure that can greatly increase the reputation?

A sense of urgency rose in Gu Chen's heart: "If it were you guys, what would you do if you wanted to improve your reputation in a short time?"

In the carriage, the three roommates looked at Gu Chen in unison.

Gu Chen blinked: "I just asked casually."

"You think you're not famous enough?" Gao Haiyang laughed and said, "It's easy to handle. You just need to say something on the Internet, and you are the initiator and main executor of the plan to develop the commercial street in the old city. Put your photos up. There are countless demolition households hanging your photos on the wall, making offerings like a God of Wealth. There must also be a bunch of little girls who only look at your face, offering you as idols."

"Don't make trouble!" Old Gu Chen blushed, he couldn't do such shameless self-promotion and taking credit.

"For charity?" He Qingchen thought for a while and said, "Use your name to build the Hope Primary School and the library. I think many celebrities do this. It just costs money."

Even if Gu Chen made a lot of money trading stocks and selling houses last semester, he probably wouldn't be able to donate a few elementary schools and a few libraries!

"Why don't we build a scholarship at the school?" Zhao Shu said: "Our school also has many poor students who can't pay the tuition fees, and they rely on student loans and school subsidies to keep going. Donated by well-known alumni who have graduated. Encourage students to study hard.”

With a flash of inspiration, Gao Haiyang said, "Anyway, you are not short of money. You can donate the royalties of the CPA mind map as a scholarship to support poor college students and children in mountainous areas. It will be reprinted by the publishing house. At that time, I asked Weiwei to notify the printing factory to print this matter directly in the book. Firstly, it is to promote our book, and secondly, it also achieves the effect you want to increase your reputation."

"Through their talent and hard work, the top students of University A have allowed many people to successfully pass the CPA exam. They also use the money they earned with their wisdom and hard work to support those children who want to study, in order to cultivate more talents for the society. .Repeatedly, what a wonderful thing!"

Gu Chen looked at Gao Haiyang, gave a thumbs up, and sincerely praised: "Brother Haiyang, it's really a pity that you don't do public relations."

"It's not a pity at all." Gao Haiyang joked with a smile: "Didn't we agree? We have to work hard during these few years, and I'm still waiting to be your financial director!"

Without further ado.The group returned to school and carried He Qingchen back to the dormitory. Gu Chen immediately started to prepare. On the one hand, he asked Gao Haiyang to help him check the royalties and remuneration for the mind map. Add a little.On the other hand, it is to find ways to find reliable donation channels to support poor students.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen also called Professor Xing to ask if he had any channels for this.

"Do you want to sponsor students?" Professor Xing received a call from Gu Chen after [-] o'clock in the evening, thinking that Gu Chen had some project ideas to tell him, or had some academic issues to discuss with him.It never occurred to Gu Chen to want to subsidize the students.But Professor Xing was the right one for this matter.

"If you want to subsidize students in the school, you have to talk to the principal first, and then go through the process in finance. If you want to subsidize students in mountainous areas... Well, you come to your home tomorrow morning and we will talk face to face."

Professor Xing said: "Supporting students is one aspect of donating money. More importantly, it is to ensure that students can study hard and have more resources to study. If you really want to do this, don't think about it. Donate money and save trouble."

Although Professor Xing didn't know why Gu Chen suddenly wanted to do charity.But he knew very well that this student had a temperament of "no benefit, no early gain".He had to clarify the matter before he knew which channel to provide Gu Chen was the most suitable for him.
