Confession of Rebirth

As soon as Gu Chen spoke, the private room fell silent.Everyone looked over in surprise, as if they couldn't imagine that with Gu Chen's character, he would say such harsh words in front of Chairman Ling.

After a long silence, Mother Gu came back to her senses first, and patted Gu Chen on the back lightly: "You child, how do you talk!"

"Mr. Ling, don't worry about it." Grandpa Gu said with a smile, helping his daughter-in-law and grandson to smooth things over: "Country people can't speak. They are used to being straightforward."

What do you mean by getting used to going straight?

Chairman Ling was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face: "It doesn't matter. This child Shen Chen may have misunderstood our Ling family. You will know after getting along slowly in the future."

"However, Gu Chen's way of speaking should really be changed." Madam Ling said: "Otherwise, with his personality, he will suffer in the future in the workplace."

Just as the Gu family members were about to answer the conversation, they heard Gu Chen say calmly: "Don't worry about it. Although I'm not smart, I'm quite adaptable. I can still distinguish what people say when I meet them."

Madam Ling's expression immediately turned cold.He forced a smile and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting." Gu Chen glanced at the service staff standing next to him: "Madam Ling, have you figured it out, how many heads of abalone do you want to eat? We country people have little knowledge and have never eaten abalone. Naturally, we ask customers to do what they want. "

Gu Chen's little thought of trying to give Gu's family a bad start was punctured in person, and Madam Ling's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.Chairman Ling glanced at his wife and smoothed things over with a smile: "It doesn't matter what you eat. The visitor is a guest, so of course you have to come according to the guest's taste. You can order whatever you want?"

Before the words finished, Gu Chen said: "Since Chairman Ling has spoken, then I will not be polite."

Gu Chen summoned the waiter: "Is there any onion dipping sauce?"

No one has ever ordered scallion dipping sauce from them, and the waiter froze for a moment: "Huh?"

Gu Chen repeated patiently: "Scallions dipped in farmhouse sauce. If there are fresh lettuce, water radish, cucumber cut into strips, and a few pieces of dried tofu. My grandparents have never been out of their hometown for most of their lives, and they eat this every day. .If there is no such dish on the dining table, the elderly will not enjoy eating well.”

The service staff said with a look of embarrassment: "Sorry. We really don't have this dish on our menu."

Gu Chen was a little disappointed: "Your hotel is said to be the best hotel in city A. I didn't expect that even such a trivial request would be unable to satisfy the guests."

Hearing that the guests questioned the hotel's service attitude, the service staff immediately explained: "I'm really sorry. But our hotel really doesn't have this dish—"

Chairman Ling waved his hand and interrupted the service staff: "Do as the customer tells you."

The service staff took a look at Chairman Ling and immediately agreed.

Gu Chen smiled and said with emotion: "It seems that there is no lack of it, it depends on the person ordering the dishes. If it is needed by the distinguished guests, even extra scenes can be competent."

Madam Ling: "..."

service personnel:"……"

Ling Yiyi couldn't hold back his anger: "Gu Chen! We kindly invited your family to dinner, what are you talking about?"

Gu Chen ignored Ling Yiyi.

Chairman Ling smiled, and continued to ask: "I don't know what else Shen Chen wants?"

"Let's have a few more cloves of raw garlic!" Gu Chen said with a smile, "I think Madam Ling's dishes are extravagant enough. The belly of a countryman has never seen the world. Eat some raw garlic to disinfect and relieve the tiredness."

"Okay." Chairman Ling agreed, and signaled the service staff to obey.

Madam Ling painstakingly arranged a showdown, but Gu Chen repeatedly broke the situation, and even took the lead, messing up a table of high-end banquets.Immediately, there was a feeling of embarrassment on his face.

Fortunately, Chairman Ling has a deep sense of self-cultivation, and he didn't mean to be angry when he was disturbed by Gu Chen. He still sat in the main seat and chatted with Gu grandpa, grandma, father, and mother——

That's right, the reception banquet arranged by the Ling family.With Grandpa and Grandma Gu sitting at the table, Chairman Ling still left the main seat.Regarding the seating arrangement, the Ling family didn't say anything, the Gu family didn't mention it, and Chairman Ling was polite and thoughtful on the surface, but he didn't know whether he didn't pay attention or for other reasons, so he didn't even mention it.

Everyone didn't mention it, so Gu Chen just pretended it wasn't about it.When the dishes were served, before everyone moved their chopsticks, they stood up and said, "It's rare for everyone to get together, so I'll take a photo for you as a commemoration."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone to recover, he took out his mobile phone and walked to the door to take pictures directly.When the Ling family came back to their senses, Gu Chen had already finished filming.

Gu Chen returned to his seat, looked at the Ling family who were looking at each other, and said with a smile: "Let's eat. Wait a little longer, the food is cold."

Chairman Ling suddenly stood up and poured a glass of wine to respect Gu's family: "Thank you for adopting Xiuxiu and raising him so well. If it weren't for your kindness, I might never find my child in this lifetime. "

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu drank in silence.Gu's father and Gu's mother hurriedly got up: "It's all fate. It's the child Xiuxiu who is destined to be with us, so I was able to pick him up by the river."

"I have troubled you all these years." Madam Ling also got up to toast: "I see that the conditions of the Gu family are not very good. Under such circumstances, I am very grateful that you can still raise Xiuxiu."

Hearing what Mrs. Ling said, Gu's father and Gu's mother looked at each other, feeling a little inferior.What kind of family conditions the Ling family has, they can see now.Among other things, the meal at this hotel alone is almost their family's annual income.If this is compared with the Ling family, the conditions of the Gu family are really not enough.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Xiu has indeed been wronged in the past 18 years in the Gu family.

"Our Gu family is just an ordinary family. Of course it is not as big as the family of the Ling Group. It is really not easy to support two students to study these years." Gu Chen stood up with a smile on his glass, "Fortunately, God opened his eyes. , Ling Xiu was recognized by your Ling family. Otherwise, if he gets married and has children in the future, my parents will have to save money for him to buy a house."

Hearing Gu Chen speak, Chairman Ling and Mrs. Ling frowned slightly, always feeling that there was something in Gu Chen's words.

Sure enough, after taking a sip of wine, Gu Chen glanced at Ling Yiyi casually, and asked casually, "I heard that Ling Yiyi and Ling Xiu are twin siblings. So Ling Yiyi will also go to school this year." Are you a freshman? I wonder which university Ling Qianjin is studying at?"

Hearing Gu Chen ask about his school, Ling Yiyi couldn't help feeling a little guilty.Her academic performance was not good, and she only scored [-] points in the college entrance examination.Counting the account in city A and the library donated by chairman Ling, he was barely admitted to business university A.

"What the hell?" Aunt Gu's family couldn't hold back when she heard Ling Yiyi's answer, and said bluntly: "This school seems to be an ordinary school, not even 211?"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the second aunt of the Gu family.

Gu Chen said with a smile: "Since ancient times, heroes have never asked where they came from. The Ling family has a great career, even if their children fail the exams, they will not worry about their future in this life. Of course it is different from those of us poor students who want to pass the college entrance examination to change their destiny."

"Then why didn't you let your children study abroad?" Aunt Gu was very curious: "I watch TV, don't you rich people like to send your children to study abroad? Those who don't pass the exam are all sent out!"

"Because my English is not good, I can't understand foreigners. I don't want to go abroad, let's do it!" Ling Yiyi dropped his chopsticks, stood up and said, "It's great for you guys to do well in the exam. I'm ashamed of my poor grades!"

When Ling Yiyi said this, he glared at Gu Chen angrily: "You really are not a good person!"

After speaking, he took the bag and left angrily.The Ling family couldn't stop them.

"This child!" Madam Ling couldn't hold back the embarrassment on her face, and tried to suppress the anger in her heart: "I was spoiled and spoiled since I was a child. Please forgive me!"

The aunt of the Gu family smiled and said: "It's okay. We are all used to it. Your son is also a virtue his mother is used to. He throws his chopsticks and throws the bowl at every turn. I used to say that our old Gu family didn't have this problem. Who does the child follow? Today I understand. It is according to the roots. The roots of your old Ling family."

Aunt Gu's words were a little harsh, and Madam Ling's smile couldn't hold back immediately.

Things got like this, and the meal couldn't be eaten anymore.Everyone broke up.Gu Chen took the Gu family downstairs, and Chairman Ling wanted Ling Fei to help arrange accommodation, so Zhong Lisui and his personal assistant walked in.

Chairman Ling was quite surprised: "President Zhongli, what a coincidence?"

"Unfortunately." Zhong Li glanced at Gu Chen: "I'm here to pick up someone."

Chairman Ling's expression was a little hesitant, and he heard Grandpa and Grandma Gu's warm greeting: "It's really hard work for you. You sent us here when we came, and you have to pick us up when we leave."

"It's not hard." Zhong Lisui said with a smile: "Gu Chen is my good friend. His family comes to visit City A, so it's only right for me to be a landlord."

The Ling family didn't expect the Gu family and Zhong Lisui to be so familiar, and they were suddenly a little subtle.In front of the Gu family, he didn't say anything.After the Gu family left, they immediately asked Ling Fei: "What's going on?"

Ling Fei slapped his forehead: "I forgot to say. When I went to pick up the plane today, President Zhongli also went. The Gu family came here in President Zhongli's car. I also heard President Zhongli tell Gu Chen, Let him call him after dinner, and he will drive the Gu family back to his apartment."

Chairman Ling's face darkened: "Why didn't you say such an important matter earlier?"

Ling Fei looked apologetic, he glanced at Madam Ling cautiously, and said angrily, "I forgot."

Chairman Ling also took a look at Mrs. Ling.I remembered.At that time, Ling Fei was busy reporting to him that Mrs. Ling refused to pick up the plane and wanted to give Gu's family a good reputation, so it is understandable to forget.

Madam Ling also knew that her self-willedness had ruined something today, so she inevitably looked a little guilty.

Seeing this, Ling Fei lowered his head.The corner of his lips couldn't hold back, and he ticked upwards quietly.

In front of his younger brother and juniors, it is inconvenient for Chairman Ling to talk about his wife.Looking at Ling Xiu, he frowned and said, "Why don't you say a word today. Those are the relatives of your parents who have raised you for 18 years."

Hearing Chairman Ling's implication, Ling Xiu's expression changed: "I—"

"Don't blame Xiuxiu." Mrs. Ling said, "Xiuxiu is still ill. How can he have the energy to deal with such a big family. Today I can see that there is no one in this family who is easy to mess with. No wonder Everyone says there are so many troublesome people in poor mountains and bad waters!"

"...This Ling family is not a good cake!"

When Mrs. Ling was talking about the Gu family, the Gu family was also discussing the Ling family: "I saw it as soon as I entered the hotel. That aggressive person just wanted to show us off!"

"This is not the attitude towards a benefactor. From my perspective, it is clearly a Hongmen banquet." The second aunt of the Gu family complained.

"You can pull it down! When it's time for you to speak, you can't deliver a word. If it weren't for Shen Shen's top fight, our old Gu family would have to be bullied to death by these gangsters surnamed Ling today." The aunt of the Gu family snorted and looked at Gu's mother: "I used to say that Gu Xiu is a white-eyed wolf, but you still don't believe me. Look at how sticky Gu Xiu is next to his mother today, didn't he say a word to you?"

Mama Gu didn't say a word.

The aunt of the Gu family continued: "It's nothing if you don't talk. Just look at his mother's attitude towards our family, and you may not know how this kid arranges our family in front of his mother. Otherwise, their family would have such an attitude. ?”

"You still don't want us to come! If we don't come, you two idiots who can't beat half a fart with a stick will definitely be bullied to death by their family."

The aunt of the Gu family was chattering, and just heard "gurgling" for a while, the aunt of the Gu family touched her belly and said, "We don't know what they order, they are all barking their teeth and claws, without even an elbow! What? eat."

The cousin of the Gu family said: "They all order big lobster, shark's fin, abalone, sashimi, and tuna. It's so precious..."

Aunt Gu's family: "No matter how expensive it is, it has to make people full!"

While talking, he saw the car slowly stop at the gate of University A.The Gu family was in a daze, and Gu Chen came over and knocked on the car window: "Aren't you full? President Zhongli wants to invite us to eat hot-boiled lamb. This hot-boiled lamb is famous."

The Gu family all got out of the car.Gu Chen led his family upstairs.Zhong Lisui had already helped Grandpa and Grandma Gu into the private room.The Gu family sat down in the private room, looked around, flipped through the menu and said, "This seems to be similar to our pot."

"It's kind of like it." Gu Chen said with a smile, "I think it should suit your taste."

After everyone in the family finished ordering, Gu Chen asked the waiter to serve each of the specialties of the shop.Grandpa Gu looked at Zhong Lisui who was sitting next to him, and thanked him again: "I really troubled you today."

Zhong Li smiled warmly and said, "No trouble. It should."

Gu Chen said: "After dinner, I'll take you back to the apartment to rest. This apartment was also arranged with the help of President Zhongli, I'm afraid you won't be used to living in a hotel."

When the Gu family heard this, they were immediately embarrassed.

Zhong Lisui said: "It's nothing. Usually no one lives in this apartment, and it's also idle when it's idle."

Probably because I was really hungry, and when the dishes were ready, the Gu family members were all bored to eat the meat.While cooking the meat, Gu Yao asked Gu Chen in a low voice: "Brother Shen Chen, is University A right across from you?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen responded, "Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to visit University A. The school environment and learning atmosphere are pretty good. If you also take the exam next year, I can take care of you a little bit."

Gu Yao curled her lips and said with a lack of confidence: "I want to take the exam, and I will pass the exam."

"Then work harder." Gu Chen picked up a piece of crispy meat for his cousin: "I heard from my aunt that you got 620 in the final exam. Just work harder and get 60 points more, and you will almost be able to get into University A." gone."

"That's 60 points, not 6 points." Gu Chun said while eating meat: "Then if I can't get into University A, I can only get into the university in City A, do you care about me?"

Gu Chen smiled: "What did you say!"

"You're talking nonsense!" The second aunt of the Gu family slapped her son on the back of the head: "Your brother Shen Chen is the eldest son and grandson, and you want to establish a family. He doesn't care who cares about you."

Zhong Lisui had never seen such a way of getting along with family members, so he watched it with great interest.

It can take more than an hour to eat a meal.After drinking and eating, everyone was a little tired.Zhong Lisui and Lin Tezhu sent Gu's family downstairs to the apartment, took them upstairs, and gave Gu Chen a spare key: "I won't bother you any more, you guys have a good rest."

"Thanks for your help today." Gu Chen sent the person downstairs.Thinking about what he knew, he wanted to select high-quality projects with a high return on investment and in line with Tiansui Capital's investment habits: "Let's sit down and have a good chat after we finish our busy work."

But I didn't want Zhong Lisui to hear these words, and his face suddenly turned red.

Gu Chen was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhong Lisui clenched his hands into fists, coughed lightly, and covered it up: "Maybe he drank too much at night and got a little hot."

Gu Chen looked at Zhong Lisui who was standing under the street lamp, even the tips of his ears were red, and said with a smile, "Then you should go back and rest early."

"Okay." Zhong Li nodded and asked Lin Te to help drive.

Gu Chen stood at the door of the unit, watched the car leave the community, turned and went upstairs.

The Gu family had already changed into their pajamas. The Gu family's aunt and the Gu family's second aunt brought out the washed fruits from the kitchen. Seeing Gu Chen coming back, they were very happy and said: "The refrigerator is full, and the vegetables and fruits are old and fresh. No need to go out to buy it tomorrow morning. Your friend is too thoughtful and has a good attitude. Unlike the Ling family, everyone wants to look at people with their nostrils."

Gu Chen asked with a smile: "Grandpa and grandma have a rest?"

"Going to sleep. I've been tossing this big day." Aunt Gu took an apple and handed it to Gu Chen: "There are still a lot of fruits in the refrigerator that I don't know. I don't know if they are good or not, and I didn't dare to wash them."

Gu Chen took the apple: "Where are my parents?"

"Your mother said she was a little uncomfortable, so she also came into the house. Your father stayed in the house to accompany her!" The aunt of the Gu family paused, but couldn't hold back, and said, "Anyway, if it were me, I would go out of the Ling family today. It's unbearable."

Gu Chen walked to the room where Gu's father and Gu's mother slept, and knocked on the door.

Papa Gu said: "The door is unlocked, come in."

Gu Chen pushed the door open, looked at Mama Gu who was lying on the bed silently wiping her tears, and Papa Gu who was sitting beside the bed silently, and said, "My aunt washed the fruit, don't you want some?"

Papa Gu said: "Your mother is tired. Besides, I didn't eat less mutton at night. I'm full."

Gu Chen nodded: "Then you guys have a good rest. I'll take you to visit University A tomorrow and go to the market at night."

Mother Gu asked, "Don't you have to go to class?"

Gu Chen said: "Tomorrow is Saturday. I don't have a few classes, so I'll ask for a leave of absence. The teacher understands that you have come here so hard."

After settling down with Gu's family, Gu Chen didn't stay in the apartment, but went back to the dormitory.The other three roommates also knew that the relatives of the Gu family were coming, and they scrambled to say: "Tomorrow at noon, evening, the day after tomorrow at noon, evening, we will make a meal. One meal per person, no one will grab it."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Who is going to snatch it from you? After eating so many meals from me, it's time for me to eat it back."

The roommate laughed, and Gao Haiyang asked, "What will you do tomorrow?"

"Let's ask for leave." Gu Chen said, and called Professor Xing.

Professor Xing heard: "Then you have to come to have a meal at home. Let's have lunch tomorrow. I will ask your teacher's wife to prepare a few more dishes. You are not an outsider, so you can eat at home."

Gu Chen frowned, and just about to refuse, he heard Professor Xing continue: "Xing Lu just left, and the house is empty. Your teacher's wife can't accept it. She goes to your brother's room every day and sits for more than half an hour. You Bring family members here, and I will entertain them, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, the house can also be lively."

Hearing what Professor Xing said, Gu Chen immediately agreed.After hanging up the phone, he smiled and said to the three roommates: "Your dinner has to be postponed."

Gao Haiyang gave Gu Chen a thumbs up: "You still have face."

The next morning, Gu Chen went to the apartment to pick up his family to visit University A.Gu Chen's classmates who knew the news all rushed over to say hello.The Gu family didn't expect Gu Chen to be so popular at school, and they were surprised and delighted.At noon, Gu Chen brought his family to visit Professor Xing again.Now the Gu family was even more flattered.

"I didn't expect to have university teachers and professors cook for me for a day in this life." Grandpa and Grandma Gu were so excited that they could hardly speak: "How can this be possible, you are Gu Chen's teacher and teacher's wife .”

"What's wrong with this?" Professor Xing said, "Gu Chen's teacher is also a human being, and he also eats three meals a day."

Professor Xing greeted: "It's just home-cooked food. I don't know if you are used to it."

"Home-cooked food is good! Home-cooked food is good!" Grandpa and Grandma Gu kept talking, feeling that this trip to City A was really worthwhile. The professor of University A, in ancient times, that is Wenqu Xingxia, a top talent!He actually cooks for them himself.

Gu Chen was helping in the kitchen.Seeing the professor and his family enjoying themselves, the corners of his mouth turned up.

After dinner, the Gu family sat at Professor Xing's house for another two hours.During the chat, Professor Xing told the Gu family about Gu Chen's achievements over the past month.The Gu family members were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it: "You mean that the market we're going to visit later was planned by Shen Shen for the purpose of developing the commercial street in the old city? Our family, Shen Chen, was able to participate in the city's convening s meeting?"

Professor Xing nodded: "Gu Chen is very outstanding. Your old Gu family has cultivated a talent!"

"Oh my god!" Aunt Gu patted her chest: "Why is Shen Chen so capable?"

Mother Gu, who had always been a little depressed, finally smiled when she heard Professor Xing praise her son so much: "It's all supported by the professor. Otherwise, Shen Chen wouldn't have this opportunity."

"That requires Gu Chen to have real skills." Professor Xing said with a smile.

At night, Zhongli then asked the driver to drive the bus to pick him up to go shopping in the market.Gu Chen invited Professor Xing and Teacher Qi together.As soon as Xing Lu left, Professor Xing and Teacher Qi were bored staying at home, so they simply set off with the large team.When passing by University A, Gu Chen called Zhao Shu and the three of them again, and even kindly asked Gao Haiyang to bring his girlfriend with him.

I don't know if it's because of the crowds or other reasons, anyway, everyone had a great time this night.Gao Haiyang caught Gu's father and Gu's mother and praised Gu Chen violently, which made everyone in the Gu family grin from ear to ear.

Ling Xiu found it that night.When the Gu family returned to the apartment, Ling Xiu stood alone outside the complex, looking extremely aggrieved.

Gu's mother got out of the car and looked at Ling Xiu: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to find you, Mom!" Ling Xiu said, "Where have you been? I called you several times, but no one answered."

Gu's mother glanced at the phone: "We went to the market. The market is too noisy to hear."

The aunt of the Gu family looked at Ling Xiu shivering from the cold: "Don't talk about it yet. Let's talk about it when we go upstairs."

After everyone went upstairs, Gu's mother poured Ling Xiu a cup of hot water: "Why are you standing outside by yourself so late? Where are your parents?"

Ling Xiu sniffed: "Mom, can I talk to you alone?"

Mother Gu glanced at the Gu family hesitantly.

The aunt of the Gu family rolled her eyes, and directly dragged her daughter to stand up from the sofa: "Go wash your face and feet, and go to sleep."

Mother Gu took Ling Xiu back to her room.

Ling Xiu held Gu's mother's hand: "Mom, can you persuade my brother to speak for the Ling Group when he attends the city meeting?"

Mother Gu froze for a moment: "What?"

Ling Xiu told Gu's mother about Gu Chen's plan to develop the commercial street in the old city: "Now Gu Chen has a great say in this project. My dad wants me to persuade him to stand by the Ling Group. That is, if you ask my brother's suggestion in the city, I hope my brother can include several properties of the Ling Group in the scope of demolition."

Mother Gu asked, "What if your brother can't do it?"

Ling Xiu said: "How is that possible? My dad said that the city pays special attention to my brother's suggestion, and my brother is Professor Xing's favorite student. If he speaks out, everyone will listen."

Mother Gu's heart sank: "You still want your brother to convince his professor?"

Ling Xiu nodded: "But don't worry, my father said that after the matter is completed, he will not treat my brother and Professor Xing badly. My father said that as long as my brother can complete this matter, he will send me Brother and Professor Xing each share a [-]-square-meter house in the city center. Mom, this is worth tens of millions! My brother may struggle for a lifetime, but he won't be able to do so."

Mother Gu asked, "What if things don't work out?"

Ling Xiu was a little anxious: "If the matter fails, the Ling Group will lose billions. Mom, please help me! This matter is also good for my brother!"

Ling Xiu hugged Gu's mother's arm and begged.

Mother Gu pondered for a while, then shook her head: "I'm sorry. Mom can't promise you."

Since she was a child, she has never been rejected by Gu's mother, Ling Xiu was stunned: "Why?"

Gu's mother sighed, looking at Ling Xiu's expression could not be described as lost or sad: "Mom can't interfere with your brother's work. He has his own ideas. Mom doesn't understand anything, can't help him, and can't delay his future leg."

When Ling Xiu heard the words, he immediately became anxious: "How can this be called slowing down? Isn't this a win-win thing? As long as the matter is completed, my brother will be able to have a house in City A!"

"Then I can't get involved." Although Gu's mother has never seen anything in the world, she can also see the Ling family's character through getting along with the Ling family.They were willing to spend such a large sum of money to bribe Gu Chen and his professor, which proves that this matter probably shouldn't be done.

"Mom!" Ling Xiu didn't expect Gu's mother's tone to be so tight, and suddenly became a little impetuous: "I can't explain it to you. But you have to believe it, how could I harm my brother. This matter is not bad for him at all. No. It's just a matter of his words, he can earn a house, and the Ling family can also get the project. If you don't agree, my brother will be busy and won't get anything, and the Ling family will lose dozens One hundred million!"

Gu's mother sighed: "You just remember that if things fail, the Ling family may lose billions. Have you ever thought that if your brother angered his professor because of this incident, he might have no job prospects in his life?" gone."
