After the vase cannon fodder is reborn

After lunch, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

At this point in time, if you go shopping directly to buy gifts, the time left is too much.It's not easy to go to Gu's house early after shopping for gifts - Wen Zhuoyu is afraid of embarrassment.Wen Zhuoyu didn't want to sit in Gu's house for too long on his first visit.

Gu Xihuai is very considerate of Wen Zhuoyu's emotions.When young people sit and chat with their elders, they will always be unable to talk together because of the ideological gap.What's more, Gu Xihuai didn't want Wen Zhuoyu to hit it off with Chairman Gu and Mrs. Gu at first sight.He always felt that Wen Zhuoyu was his friend, a friend who was independent of the Gu family's influence and social circle, and completely belonged to him, Gu Xihuai's personal friend.Therefore, Gu Xihuai did not want the relationship between Wen Zhuoyu and him to be affected by Chairman Gu and Mrs. Gu.

Looking at the slowly rotating pointer, Gu Xihuai pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively, "How about we go to the movies first?"

Wen Zhuoyu looked at Gu Xihuai with a strange expression: "..."

The more Gu Xihuai talked, the more he felt that this idea was good, and tried to persuade him: "It's two o'clock in the afternoon, we spend at most an hour buying gifts, and dinner at the earliest at seven o'clock, and the remaining three or four hours, we always spend Can't just hang out on the street all the time. Just in time for a movie."

Wen Zhuoyu felt that Gu Xihuai's analysis made sense.But two big men eat, go shopping and watch movies together... It's not that Wen Zhuoyu doesn't like watching movies, it's just that the encounter between the two of them in the Huaiyang restaurant is still in front of my eyes. After they came out, they surrounded them and asked for their autographs and photos... Wouldn't that be embarrassing!

Wen Zhuoyu thought for a while, and suggested tactfully: "After we buy the gifts, let's find a coffee shop with a better environment and sit down and read a book."

The environment is better, and the most important thing is a coffee shop with better privacy.It's also good to read a book and chat.No matter how bad it is, the two of them sit down and watch the news or financial reports!

Gu Xihuai felt that as long as he could be with Wen Zhuoyu, it didn't matter what he did, so he seconded without hesitation: "Okay."

Wen Zhuoyu looked at Gu Xihuai who had a straightforward attitude with some amusement: "...let's go buy gifts first."

In her previous life, when she was trying to accumulate contacts, Wen Zhuoyu did not give gifts to others.If you know about gift giving, you have to pay attention to what you like.Although Wen Zhuoyu didn't know what Mrs. Gu and Chairman Gu liked, but he had Gu Xihuai as his adviser!

"What do your parents like?" Wen Zhuoyu asked straightforwardly with the idea of ​​making the best use of people: "You help me choose."

Gu Xihuai didn't think there was anything wrong with Wen Zhuoyu's attempt to be lazy and save trouble, and was even pleased with Wen Zhuoyu's trust in him.So under Gu Xihuai's suggestion, Wen Zhuoyu prepared the most reliable tea and a set of cosmetics commonly used by Mrs. Gu as gifts for the first visit.Another diamond bracelet was chosen for Gu Xirong.

It took a total of half an hour to choose the three gifts.Among them, it took 1 minute to choose a gift for Chairman Gu, 5 minutes to choose cosmetics for Mrs. Gu, and the most time was spent choosing a diamond bracelet for Gu Xirong.Because you have to pick a style.

From the gift selection this time, Wen Zhuoyu also saw Gu Xihuai's attitude towards his parents and sister.

——The selection of the two gifts is not to say that they are quite satisfactory, and they can only be described as stable.One is the all-purpose gift high-grade tea that must be selected when giving gifts to unfamiliar people.In the previous life, when Wen Zhuoyu made friends, in addition to carefully preparing according to his preferences, the most commonly used panacea gift was tea or famous wine.

Because of this, regardless of the value of the tea or wine itself, at least if Wen Zhuoyu gave gifts to his elders, he would never choose such a face-saving product whose form is greater than the content.As for the cosmetics that Mrs. Gu usually uses, it sounds like this gift was carefully selected, fully considering Mrs. Gu's preferences and practicality, but there is nothing new or thoughtful at all.

It can be seen from this that Gu Xihuai's attitude towards Chairman Gu and Mrs. Gu is probably just to save face.In contrast, Gu Xihuai treated his younger sister very carefully.At least I know that when choosing a diamond bracelet for a little girl, you have to pick a style.

Wen Zhuoyu put the gift in the trunk and sat back in the co-pilot's seat.Through Gu Xihuai's attitude when he helped him choose gifts, Wen Zhuoyu also determined what kind of mentality he should use to face the Gu family when he went to the Gu family.

The dinner time set by the Gu family is at seven o'clock in the evening. It is impossible for Wen Zhuoyu to come to visit for the first time.So the two counted the time and returned to the Gu family's mansion an hour earlier.Chatting before eating is also a courtesy to connect with each other.

Chairman Gu and Mrs. Gu didn't go out all day.To show her solemnity, Mrs. Gu specially changed into a new custom-made dark green cheongsam, matching it with a set of pearl necklaces and bracelets, and even the pins on her hair were made of pearls.It looks graceful and luxurious, with extraordinary bearing.Chairman Gu wore an ordinary three-piece suit.Men, there is no unconventional dress.

Gu Xirong, who just turned over the new year, also dressed up carefully.She knew that Wen Zhuoyu was her brother's best friend, and that her brother had never had such a life-and-death friend in so many years. She also knew that in the kidnapping case, if one of the kidnappers hadn't had a personal relationship with Wen Zhuoyu's father, her brother He Wen Zhuoyu has already been torn apart, and there is no way to wait for rescue.

Therefore, Gu Xirong was very grateful to Wen Zhuoyu for his kindness and family affection.Similar to Gu Xirong's idea, this time the Gu family invited Wen Zhuoyu to eat at home, and they also wanted to thank Wen Zhuoyu for saving Gu Xihuai's life.

"...Although outsiders don't know about this matter, our Gu family knows it well." Before Gu Xihuai and Wen Zhuoyu came to the house, Mrs. Gu glanced at Chairman Gu lightly, and deliberately emphasized: "If it weren't for the discretion Yu, our son died in that kidnapping case. Wen Zhuoyu is our son's savior."

"Yes, yes, yes," Chairman Gu quickly echoed: "Of course I know this. Don't worry, our Gu family has no other advantages, at least we know how to repay you."

Mrs. Gu smiled inexplicably: "It's good that you know. Xihuai has been so frightened and wronged this time, as a father, you don't know how to make up for it—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chairman Gu.Just listen to Chairman Gu's eager defense: "What do you call that? That's my own son, how can I not feel sorry for him? I also want to make up for him. But you also know that this child loves me so much. Have a grudge, it’s not—”

"Isn't it because you hurt your son's heart because of the mistakes you made back then?" Mrs. Gu gave Chairman Gu a look, and seeing the guilty look on Chairman Gu's face, Mrs. Gu stopped talking about those old accounts, and said : "After this period of integration, I have won back 7% of the shares of Gu's Group under the name of your elder brother and Gu Xihuan. I plan to take these shares together with 1% under my own name, plus your name. 1% of the money will be transferred to Xi Huai's name, you won't object, will you?"

"What did you say?" Chairman Gu didn't expect Mrs. Gu to make such a proposal suddenly, and his face turned pale with shock.He frowned fiercely, showing hesitation: "Xi Huai and Xi Rong originally had 5.00% of the shares under their names. This was given to their brothers and sisters by our parents as a coming-of-age gift when they were two adults. Now You have to transfer 7% of Dafang’s shares to Xihuai’s name, plus the 2% of the two of us. In this way, the shares under Xihuai’s name will exceed 13%, even within the group , has also become the top five major shareholders..."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, the expression on her face suddenly turned cold, and her tone became more and more dissatisfied: "The Dafang father and son are all thinking of killing Xihuai, and you know why. Now the two of them will be rewarded for their evil. The shares should have been compensated to Xihuai. The 1% each of the two of us gave is nothing more than a little thought, don't you even want to part with this share?"

Without waiting for Chairman Gu to speak, Mrs. Gu said again: "You also know Xihuai's character. He has always been aloof from the world, and he doesn't like to participate in the affairs of the group. But it is because he is too humble and not to fight, but he raised the gang The greedy desire of jackals and tigers. I want to put these shares in Xihuai's name now, and I also consider Xihuai's second half of his life."

"You are clear about his mental state. The doctor said that even if the condition is stable now, it does not mean that it will remain stable in the future. In his case, a slight stimulation may cause the disease. The Gu Group is absolutely I will not allow an heir with a mental problem to manage the affairs of the group. I want to give him more shares, but it is just to let him pay more dividends. This is my kindness as a mother. As his father, why don’t you ..."

"I didn't say anything, you see why you are in a hurry." Chairman Gu hurriedly interrupted Mrs. Gu's accusation, and excused with downcast eyes: "I am the child's father, don't I want to do it for his own good. Of course, I have no objection to the 9% of the shares being held under the name of Xihuai, I just want to say that the 9% of the shares' agency rights—"

Before Chairman Gu could finish speaking, Mrs. Gu said confidently: "Of course I leave it to me. I am Xihuai's biological mother and the actual person in charge of the Gu Group. I have always been the proxy for the shares of the two children. It’s in my hands. It’s only natural for me to exercise these shares.”

"But……"

"What?" Mrs. Gu glanced at Chairman Gu, and asked back with a half-smile, "Or do you have other ideas?"

Seeing Mrs. Gu showing such an expression again, even if Chairman Gu really had other thoughts, he couldn't say it now: "Not really. I mean your idea is very good. It's very thoughtful."

Chairman Gu paused for a moment, then hesitated and said, "But Mom and Dad, probably won't agree?"

"My son and grandson are all going to jail, what do they disagree with?" Mrs. Gu looked at her carefully manicured nails, and said lightly: "In the end, I was busy with work, so I could only leave the children to the elderly. If It wasn't for their family's intentional abuse, Xihuai would not have become what it is today. I didn't care about them, and promoted and trained Gu Xihuan with good intentions, which is generous enough. But I didn't expect them to be the result of my kindness The whole family has intensified their harm to Xihuai, even wanting his life..."

Chairman Gu said embarrassingly: "How long has it been, why are you still mentioning—"

"It's hard to get through." Mrs. Gu glared at Chairman Gu: "I can't get through if you can get through. There's a life in between! I didn't let them pay their debts with blood, but from now on, they don't even want to get involved in the Gu family. group."

"Even if Xi Huai really can't take over the Gu Group, I still have Xi Rong!" Mrs. Gu sneered and said, "I took down the Gu Group by myself, and no one can steal my things under my nose." .”

Chairman Gu blushed, and said a little boringly: "In front of the child, why are you saying these words?"

Gu Xirong, who hadn't spoken much all this time, suddenly said: "Is there anything you can't say in front of me? I'm not a child. You are always secretive, so I don't worry that someone will have bad thoughts one day. , Kidnapped me too?"

Chairman Gu's expression changed.Just as he was about to scold his little daughter, the doorbell rang suddenly.After answering the phone, the nanny came to announce: "The young master and the guest are back."

The dull and slightly angry atmosphere in the living room suddenly changed.By the time Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai entered the door with gifts, the three members of the Gu family were already happily standing at the door to receive guests.

Chapter 61 Wen Zhuoyu only felt a stagnation in his heart, and suddenly felt sorry for Gu Xihuai hypocritically.

"Brother, brother Zhuoyu!" Gu Xirong was like a light white butterfly, floating in front of Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai: "You are back!"

As Gu Xirong was talking, he held Gu Xihuai's arm affectionately with both hands, tilted his head, and looked at Wen Zhuoyu with a pair of eyes like autumn water without blinking, and said with a smile: "I have admired your name for a long time, and we finally met today. Brother Yu is even more handsome than he looks on TV."

"Thank you for the compliment." Wen Zhuoyu smiled and said, "Miss Gu is also more beautiful and cuter than Xi Huai described."

"Of course, I'm the little sister that my elder brother loves the most." Gu Xirong raised her chin proudly, and then said with a cute and lively smile: "Brother Zhuoyu, please call me Rongrong, everyone in my family calls me that." of."

Mrs. Gu interrupted the greetings of several children with a smile: "Let's go in first." There is no reason to block the guests at the door to chat.

Wen Zhuoyu smiled slightly: "Hello Madam Gu, Hello Chairman Gu, I'm really terrified to bother you two elders to come out to welcome me, a junior."

"Why are you being so polite, just call uncle and aunt." Mrs. Gu smiled and invited people into the living room: "Good boy. There is tea, coffee and juice at home. I wonder what you like to drink?"

Before Wen Zhuoyu could speak, Gu Xihuai took the initiative to ask, "Is there any sour plum soup?"

Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course."

Gu Xihuai said: "Then let's have a pot of sour plum soup. Use ice to relieve the heat and relieve the tiredness."

Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Xihuai calmly.Immediately ordered the nanny to make sour plum soup.Fortunately, this thing is easy to make, and it will be served soon.

Taking advantage of this time, Wen Zhuoyu also gave the gift he had prepared to the three members of the Gu family.Chairman Gu took the tea with a smile and said, "I just like drinking tea."

Gu Xirong also opened the gift excitedly, put the diamond bracelet on her wrist, and showed it to everyone: "Does it look good?"

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Of course it looks good."

Looking at Wen Zhuoyu again: "You are bothering."

Wen Zhuoyu followed suit with a smile: "Xihuai helped me pick them all."

Mrs. Gu said, "Xi Huai is always careful."

Gu Xirong also said very happily: "Brother loves me the most, of course he knows what I like... Thank you brother Zhuoyu."

Wen Zhuoyu's eyebrows were warm: "You're welcome."

Gu Xirong looked at Wen Zhuoyu with a smile.She had never seen such a handsome man.If appearance can be rated, her brother Gu Xihuai is already a handsome man with a full score, but Wen Zhuoyu is a little more outstanding than a full score.What's even more rare is that it was difficult for everyone to notice Wen Zhuoyu's appearance the first time they saw him.

Because Wen Zhuoyu's aura and way of speaking are more attractive than his appearance.Even Gu Xirong, who claims to have read countless people, has to admit that there is such a perfect person in this world—it's no wonder that her brother, who is proud and withdrawn in his bones and likes to keep a sense of distance from others, will also be like this after meeting Wen Zhuoyu. He actively moved to Wen Zhuoyu's side.

Gu Xirong couldn't help laughing at the thought that her elder brother had learned how to curry favor with someone from her younger sister - under the guise of trying to figure out the role, thinking that he would keep his face but he couldn't hide it from her at all.She never thought that the big brother who pretended to be so good would also be so clumsy to please someone.

After all, it is the first time to be a guest at home, even if Gu Xirong is very interested in Wen Zhuoyu, it is not easy to drag Wen Zhuoyu to talk non-stop.Chairman Gu is very interested in Wen Zhuoyu's skills and abilities in the investment field.Even though Wen Zhuoyu still focuses on retail investment, Chairman Gu still showed great enthusiasm and chatted with Wen Zhuoyu for a long time.

Only this time, Wen Zhuoyu didn't bother to give any useful information.The analysis of many industries and sectors is general. Although he also has his own unique insights, the gold content is not as good as the previous discussions with people from the cinema.

Mrs. Gu also seemed to see Wen Zhuoyu's disapproval.He smiled and brought the topic back.He also asked how the elders in Wen Zhuoyu's family were well. It wasn't until dinner was served that everyone toasted for the first time that they officially shifted the topic to the previous kidnapping case, and thanked Wen Zhuoyu solemnly.

"...It's all the ugliness of our Gu family, but it has caused you and Xi Huai to suffer together." Mrs. Gu's eyes were red when she said this, and there was still a lingering resentment on her expression: "Although it's not kind to say so, As a mother, I am very glad that the two of you were kidnapped together by the kidnappers. If the kidnappers hadn't recognized the necklace on your neck, I'm afraid they would tear up your ticket on the spot..."

Wen Zhuoyu said quickly: "This is also my luck."

Mrs. Gu offered Wen Zhuoyu a glass of wine with red eyes: "Your father is a good man. He did so many good things during his lifetime, and he blessed you. You saved our family Xihuai again. Our Gu family is grateful for this for the rest of our lives." .”

Hearing this, Chairman Gu hurriedly raised his wine glass, and said following Mrs. Gu's words: "From now on, you will be our Gu family's benefactor and distinguished guest. If you have any requests or difficulties in the future, feel free to speak up. As long as our Gu family can help you If you do, I will help you solve it.”

Wen Zhuoyu could understand Mrs. Gu and Chairman Gu's intentions as parents. He clinked glasses and said with a smile: "Uncle and auntie are serious. Xihuai and I are good friends, and we have had the experience of living and dying together. In the future, we will definitely will support each other.”

Obedient and listening, Mrs. Gu immediately changed her words: "Of course, you two are about the same age and both work in the entertainment industry. There are still many places to cooperate in the future. No matter what, the Gu family will be your greatest help."

It's okay to listen to this kind of words.Wen Zhuoyu didn't take it to heart.After all, if the Gu family really wanted to repay his life-saving grace, they wouldn't be limited to verbal promises until today.Besides, Wen Zhuoyu didn't think he would have any troubles that he couldn't solve in the future, so he had to get the help of the Gu family - the biggest reason why he was so miserable in his previous life was that Luo Xiu used the power of the Gu family to suppress him.

Even so, Wen Zhuoyu never conceded defeat.In the end, he died at the hands of the robbers.I don't know if the robber has anything to do with Luo Xiu or the Gu family.

Wen Zhuoyu was thinking about it for a while, but in front of everyone in the Gu family, he still behaved very politely: "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for your kindness."

If it was placed in the previous life, or when he was just reborn, the promise made by Mrs. Gu and Chairman Gu would naturally be an extremely valuable bargaining chip for Wen Zhuoyu.At least it's worth Wen Zhuoyu's opening a bottle of champagne to celebrate.But now, Wen Zhuoyu has not only the capital and the means to stand in the world, but also the friendship of Gu Xihuai. The influence of the Gu family is not that important to Wen Zhuoyu. up.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhuoyu glanced at Gu Xihuai calmly.From now on, whether it was Gu Xihuai who helped him introduce a lawyer, or the two being kidnapped together, and later filming together, Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai's contacts were mostly limited to their personal relationship.In addition, Wen Zhuoyu never used Gu Xihuai or simply used Gu Xihuai as a springboard to get acquainted with the Gu family.

This is unbelievable to Wen Zhuoyu, who in his previous life was trying his best to accumulate contacts and climb up the ladder.However, Wen Zhuoyu did it.He did it without even trying to control his own scheming.

People who have been busy making money and making troubles in the past and present lives rarely know how to analyze their own hearts.He has neither the time nor the energy.It wasn't until he was touched by something and woke up in astonishment that Wen Zhuoyu realized that at some point, Gu Xihuai had become an exception in his life.

Obviously when we first met, we also had the intention of making friends to make friends, but before we knew it, we actually became life-and-death friends. This heavy friendship grew like a snowball, and even Chairman Gu Solemn promises become insignificant.This obviously means that Wen Zhuoyu subconsciously cares more about his friendship with Gu Xihuai than the Gu family's overtures.

Even without the Gu family's promise, Wen Zhuoyu would not change his way of getting along with Gu Xihuai.

But Gu Xihuai——

Wen Zhuoyu glanced at Gu Xihuai. If it wasn't for Gu Xirong's chattering revelations just now, he really didn't know that when the two just met, Gu Xihuai was so deliberately trying to get close to him.

Actually discussing with a high school student how to make friends with others... Wen Zhuoyu can only say that to a certain extent, Gu Xihuai is not only innocent, but also innocent and cute!

I thought that Gu Xihuai might have rehearsed the conversations and expressions when they get along in front of the mirror over and over again like writing a biography or script, or racked his brains to inquire about his itinerary, and then "coincidentally" participated in the same variety show or the same show with him. Wen Zhuoyu felt elated when watching the movie.

He felt as if he could not imagine such a scene at all.But as long as he thinks about it, his whole heart brightens up.

Until Mrs. Gu accidentally revealed at the dinner table that the reason why she and Chairman Gu had not been able to repay their favor for so long was simply because she was busy competing for the shares of the Gu family's big house during that time, and she took 7% of the shares she won. Adding 2% of the shares she and Chairman Gu donated to her shares—it was placed in front of Gu Xihuai like a treasure.

"Mom knows that you have been wronged. These shares are the compensation that mother won for you. Don't refuse, you deserve it."

"These shares will be transferred to your name soon. Mom knows that you are impatient to manage the affairs of the group. Then you can sign an agency agreement. Entrust these shares to my mother for management, and you will wait for the dividends." OK."

"Next, I will train Xirong to take charge of the company. You are an older brother, so you can teach her if you have nothing to do."

Mrs. Gu showed her son her hard work with a satisfied face. Chairman Gu showed disapproval, but agreed with his nose.Even Gu Xirong, who has always shown that he is very dependent on Gu Xihuai, has an expression that should be taken for granted.

Only Gu Xihuai was indifferent. He didn't care about the shares transferred to him by Madam Gu, nor Madam Gu's arrangement for Gu Xirong to take over the company.Gu Xihuai seems to have gotten used to his family always ignoring his own thoughts, and then arranging all kinds of things in the name of "for his own good".

Wen Zhuoyu only felt a stagnation in his heart, and suddenly felt sorry for Gu Xihuai hypocritically.
