Cui Min was worried that Gu Xi would be shocked by yesterday's incident, so she stayed there until late at night.
She even played the role of Gu Xi's mother and fulfilled her duty as a parent, which was to watch over Gu Xi while she did her homework.
However, after a few minutes, Cui Min could no longer sit still.
"This question set by your school is beyond the scope of the syllabus, right?" Cui Min held Gu Xi's vacation test paper and stared at one of the questions for five minutes before she finally made a sincere judgment.
Hearing this, Gu Chenyi leaned over to take a look.
"It's not beyond the scope of the syllabus. I only learned this question this semester," Gu Chenyi said seriously.
Cui Min frowned even more.
"Is that so?" Cui Min flipped through the entire test paper as if she had seen a ghost. After a few seconds of silence, she said with a strange expression, "Are all junior high school questions so difficult now?"
Although she was an art student, she had graduated from a prestigious university. How could she not do the questions on this test paper?!
"Fortunately, I don't have to help you with your homework," Cui Min muttered as she glanced at Gu Chenyi.
Gu Chenyi was speechless. Fortunately, you don't help me with my homework.
Cui Min then looked at Gu Xi and smiled. "Xixi, do you like drawing? Let me teach you how to draw."
…
Gu Shao and Gu Xuan left the three of them to their own devices while they started to talk about serious matters.
"That Zhang Cui is quite shrewd. He refused to open his mouth during the interrogation," Gu Xuan said.
"He probably wants to wait for the Lin Family to step in and settle this matter," Gu Shao said in a low voice.
Gu Xuan sneered. "The evidence is conclusive. Even ten Lin Families wouldn't be able to settle this matter, let alone the Lin Family."
Gu Xuan sneered and said, "Besides, the Lin Family can't even protect themselves. Who else can they protect …"
"I didn't expect Lin Yize to have so many things that he can't see the light of day." Gu Xuan lowered his eyes and sighed.
— The attack on Gu Xi was planned by Song Kexin and Zhang Cui, and those people were recruited by Song Kexin through the Lin family.
Although they didn't manage to get Song Kexin to reveal the mastermind, they did manage to find out a lot of Lin Yize's underground forces through their social networks.
In the past, Lin Yize had done a lot of dirty deeds in order to strengthen the power of the Lin Yize. Later on, the Lin Family gradually grew to the size it was today. Not only did Lin Yize not cut off those dirty deeds, he even made them bigger and bigger.
Today, the Lin family seemed to be doing legitimate business on the surface, but in the dark, they had a rather large gray industry chain. At the same time, they had also raised a group of people who were similar to those hooligans. Usually, they would not show their faces, but they specialized in doing shady business for the Lin family.
Not to mention that there were some problems with the Lin Corporation's legitimate business, just handing over these clues to the prosecutors and the police was enough to make Lin Yize suffer.
"Have you handed over the evidence?" Gu Xuan asked.
"Yes." Gu Xuan smiled sarcastically and said, "By the time he realizes it, it will be too late to clean it up."
"Also, as for the Lin Corporation …"
Gu Xuan was about to ask when Gu Shao would take action, but he saw Gu Shao wave his hand and say, "Leave that to the old man."
Gu Xuan was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted and smiled.
"That's true." If he didn't get Old Master Gu to do something, it wouldn't go away.
—
At the Gu residence.
Old Master Gu had been lying in bed for an entire day before his blood pressure finally returned to normal.
After he recovered, Old Master Gu didn't call the Lin Family with his phone. Instead, he went to the study room to make a few phone calls without eating.
On the phone, Old Master Gu didn't say much. He just chatted with a few old friends.
However, the next day, the Lin Family and the Lin Corporation started to have a lot of problems.
First, some of the projects were called out for violating regulations. Then, some of the problems with the Lin Corporation's operations started to be magnified and brought to the surface. Some of the reports and complaints that had been suppressed in the past were also exposed.
In an instant, the entire Lin Corporation seemed to have become the target of public criticism.
However, these weren't the things that gave Lin Yize the biggest headache.
What really gave Lin Yize a headache was that some of the Lin Family's long-term business partners actually came to their door without warning. They brought up some trivial problems and asked to withdraw their investments.
Not only that, but the loans that the Lin Corporation had been applying for for several large projects were also suspended or terminated by the bank at almost the same time.
…
When Song Kexin came to the Lin Corporation to find Lin Yize, Lin Yize was in a terrible fix because of the funding problems of several large projects.
Seeing Song Kexin arrive, Lin Yize didn't give him a good look.
"What are you doing here?" Lin Yize asked in a bad mood.
Song Kexin's expression wasn't good either. He gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Yize resentfully: "If I didn't come to the company, how would I have found you?"
Because of Meng Zixin's incident, Song Kexin and Lin Yize had been in a cold war. Originally, Song Kexin didn't want to forgive him so quickly. However, the things that had happened in the past few days were out of her control.
Whether it was Zhang Cui's accident or her own illness.
"Why didn't you come home?" Song Kexin questioned. She wanted to have a good talk with Lin Yize, but he hadn't been home for several days. This made Song Kexin wonder if something had really happened between Lin Yize and that woman.
Faced with Song Kexin's questioning and suspicions, Lin Yize's suppressed anger suddenly flared up.
"Can't you see how busy I am here? When do I have time to go home? Can you stop causing trouble for me? "Lin Yize roared sternly. He was already so busy with the company's matters that he couldn't even take care of himself. However, Song Kexin still wanted to cause trouble for him.
Faced with Lin Yize's cold gaze, Song Kexin was slightly frightened and subconsciously took a step back. He opened his mouth to refute, but Lin Yize questioned him instead.
"What, are you here because of your mother?"
"You …" You knew?
Without waiting for Song Kexin to finish speaking, Lin Yize sneered, "You contacted Hong Ge and asked him to help you find someone. Did you think I didn't know?"
Lin Yize's face turned cold as he continued to roar, "Who gave you permission to use my men's power without permission?"
"I …" Song Kexin's face turned pale, but he felt wronged, "My illness has relapsed. Don't you care at all?"
After all, this was the wife he once loved deeply. Upon hearing Song Kexin's words, Lin Yize's gaze shifted slightly and he said in a low voice, "Your illness won't relapse immediately. What will happen if it takes a little longer? Why must you cause trouble for me at this critical juncture? Do you know how much trouble you and your mother have caused me with your stupid actions? Do you know how much damage you've caused to the Lin family?! "
Lin Yize was certain that the current crisis he was facing had something to do with the Gu family.
Other than the Gu family, no one else in his rival's company had the ability to do so.
Although his business cooperation with Gu Yaobai and the people behind him had affected the Gu family's interests, Lin Yize was confident that the Gu family didn't know about his failed plans. Therefore, even if the Gu family wanted to attack him, they should have targeted Gu Yaobai first, not him.
Therefore, it was Song Kexin and his mother who had attempted to harm Gu Xi that caused the Gu family to seek revenge.
Seeing Lin Yize's grim expression, Song Kexin vaguely realized the seriousness of the problem and became nervous.
"Is the problem serious? Can it be solved? "
"What do you think?" Lin Yize didn't answer but instead questioned Song Kexin.
"Then …"
Song Kexin was about to say something when his secretary rushed in. "Chairman, it's not good. The family of the two workers who were buried at the construction site heard from somewhere and said that the accident wasn't an accident. They brought people here and now the entire construction site is on strike."
"Also, we just received a notice that the unlisted warehouse land in SCC will be taken back if we don't make up for the funds by today."
Hearing the secretary's report, Lin Yize frowned deeply. He thought for a moment and ordered, "Use the funds from the Huanyang project to cover for now."
Hearing this, the secretary had a difficult expression on his face. "Chairman, I was just about to report this matter. Chairman Liu has already decided to withdraw his investment in the Huanyang project, and the investment that Taichang has yet to receive has also been blocked by the other party …"
"More than half of the funds in the project's account have also been withdrawn."
"What did you say?!" Lin Yize was so shocked that he immediately jumped up from his chair.
"Who is it?!" Lin Yize gritted his teeth and asked.
"I heard that it's Director Li who's in charge of the project …"
"Damn it!" Lin Yize cursed and quickly walked out of the office.
Seeing that Lin Yize was about to leave, Song Kexin quickly pulled him back. "Yize, what about my mom? She —"
Lin Yize turned around and glared at Song Kexin fiercely. "You guys did this and you want me to clean up the mess?"
"But, my mom is also your …"
"Shut up," Lin Yize scolded. He then said, "There's only one way. If you don't want to go to jail yourself, it's best if you quickly cut ties with Zhang Cui."
As for Zhang Cui, he could only let her fend for herself in prison.
After he finished speaking, Lin Yize shook off Song Kexin's hand and quickly left.
Song Kexin seemed to have been drained of energy. He fell to the ground and kept muttering, "It's over, it's all over …"
Song Kexin's vision turned black and he fainted. It was only a few hours later that he was discovered.
— —
While the Lin family was in chaos, Gu Xi was not affected at all. She was already at home doing her holiday homework.
After the incident with Zhang Cui, Gu Shao was worried that Gu Xi would go out alone. In addition, he had already promised Gu Xi that he would take her to work. Thus, Gu Shao directly brought Gu Xi to NTN.
The night before, when she heard that Gu Shao was going to take her to work, Gu Xi was so excited that she couldn't sleep for a long time.
The next day, Gu Xi woke up early, even earlier than Gu Shao.
When Gu Shao saw Gu Xi busying herself in the house and running up and down to pack a bunch of things, his temples throbbed.
Gu Shao tried to restrain himself, but in the end, he couldn't help but call out to Gu Xi, "Why are you bringing so many things?"
"To study," Gu Xi answered matter-of-factly. Of course, she had to be fully prepared to go to NTN.
Thus, Gu Xi's bag was not only filled with school textbooks, but also many electronic technology books that she had read before, as well as various self-study notes that Gu Xi had taken some time ago.
Gu Shao: "…"
"Just bring a couple of exercise books. Leave the rest," Gu Shao said.
He could understand bringing a few books, but was this girl planning to bring all the books in the house? Also, what was the meaning of a high-definition camera and a recording pen?
"Oh …" In the end, under Gu Shao's stare, Gu Xi could only reluctantly take out some of the school textbooks from her bag.
— —
The two of them arrived at NTN.
Gu Xi was surprised to find that there was an extra desk in Gu Shao's office. It was right next to Gu Shao's desk.
Fortunately, the office was big enough that it didn't seem crowded even with an extra desk.
"Is that for me?" Gu Xi pointed at the smaller desk next to her and looked at Gu Shao with sparkling eyes.
"Yes." Gu Shao nodded and said, "Be good and go do your homework."
"Okay." Gu Xi's voice was filled with joy.
…
Gu Shao went to his desk and started to deal with the day's work.
It was quiet in the office. Gu Xi turned her head and opened her mouth. She wanted to ask something, but when she saw that Gu Shao was busy, she held back her words.
After dealing with another document, Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xi beside him. At this time, Gu Xi was still sitting in front of her desk and excitedly arranging her 'new desk'. She put the small bookshelf and books on the left, but felt that they blocked the view between her and Gu Shao, so she thought for a while and put them on the right.
— Is this how you study?
Gu Shao frowned slightly, but there was a hint of a helpless smile in his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Gu Shao didn't interrupt Gu Xi's little movements.
It was not until Xu Fei came in to remind Gu Shao that the meeting was about to start that Gu Shao reminded Gu Xi to "study hard" and then got up to leave.
— —
After Gu Shao left, Gu Xi began to study seriously.
Gu Xi had finished her holiday homework. Now, she was doing the basic electronic technology practice questions that Gu Xi had bought online.
"Next time, there will be a bet in class. I should suggest it. Extra-curricular practice questions are fine too," Gu Xi muttered.
The professional practice questions were much more expensive than the exercise books used in compulsory education. When Gu Xi paid for them, she felt the pinch.
Unlike the practice questions in school, these professional questions were still a little difficult for Gu Xi. Gu Xi struggled a little and could only reluctantly finish them. She circled them and waited for Gu Shao to come back to ask him.
The office fell silent again.
At this moment, the sound of the door being pushed open interrupted Gu Xi's thoughts.
"Hello, President Gu. I'm Xu Bei …" A woman's voice sounded.
Gu Xi looked up and saw the woman who was pushing the door open. She called herself "Xu Bei" and looked very young. She should be in her mid-twenties and was dressed fashionably.
"President Gu isn't here. He left." Gu Xi followed the other party's lead and told her where Gu Shao was now.
Hearing Gu Xi's words, Xu Bei was stunned. Only then did she realize that there was no one else in the office except for a young girl who should be a student.
However, Gu Xi was not wearing her school uniform today and she was sitting in Gu Shao's office. Xu Bei was not sure of Gu Xi's identity and wondered if this girl was also a college student who came here to be an intern assistant.
"I'm here to send President Gu a list of lectures for next semester," Xu Bei said as she walked into the office.
Gu Xi noticed that she seemed to be wearing Chen Ziyang's work permit.
Chen Ziyang's work was a little different from Xu Fei's. He was mainly responsible for some matters related to Gu Shao's school. He had sprained his leg while running a few days ago and was recuperating.
Gu Xi thought to himself that this was probably the junior who Chen Ziyang had found to familiarize himself with the school situation.
Gu Xi smiled at her and said, "You can give me the information. My son will pass it to him for you."
Hearing Gu Xi's words, Xu Bei frowned and said, "I'd better give it to President Gu personally."
Gu Xi nodded and pointed to the sofa next to him. "You can sit there and wait for him."
Xu Bei sat down on the sofa, but she could not sit still. She asked Gu Xi, "How long will President Gu take?"
Gu Xi shook her head. "I don't know …"
— — You don't know? This assistant is too unqualified.
Xu Bei muttered in her heart. She looked in Gu Xi's direction and found that she was doing a question about electronic technology, but her accuracy was not very high.
Xu Bei felt a little disdainful.
"Is President Gu in the conference room next door? I'd better go and take a look. "After saying that, Xu Bei took the information and left the office without giving Gu Xi a chance to answer.
As soon as she walked out, Xu Bei received a call from Chen Ziyang.
"Senior. Yes, I'm delivering it now. "
"President Gu is in. His assistant should be there, right? I'm waiting in his office …"
Gu Xi could hear the sound of the other party answering the phone.
She did not know what Chen Ziyang said over the phone, but Xu Bei quickly turned back. However, she did not look very good.
"Um, I'm sorry for coming in without making an appointment," Xu Bei apologized to Gu Xi.
She could come up directly with Chen Ziyang's card, but she did not know if she could enter Gu Shao's office directly. Her senior had just reprimanded her over the phone.
She only hoped that President Gu would not find out about this and not have a bad impression of her.
Xu Bei glanced at Gu Xi.
"In that case, I'll leave this here for now." Xu Bei put down the information and left in a hurry.
Gu Xi did not care about this.
However, after being interrupted by the other party, Gu Xi was not in the mood to continue working on the questions.
Sitting in the same 'boss chair' as Gu Shao's, Gu Xi swayed idly. Finally, she could not help but sneak out of the office.
Gu Shao's conference room was not far from the office. Gu Xi came to the door of the conference room to take a look. At this moment, someone in the conference room vaguely mentioned the words' security system '.
Gu Xi's eyes lit up. She stuck her head out and leaned against the door to eavesdrop.
— —
Gu Shao did not know that Gu Xi was leaning against the door at this moment. He took advantage of the break in the conference room to come out. He just wanted to see if Gu Xi was obediently staying in the office.
However, Gu Shao pushed the door open.
Bang — — There was a muffled sound.
This was the sound of the door panel knocking on Gu Xi's forehead.
"Ouch …" It hurts.
Gu Xi covered her forehead and almost cried.
Gu Shao was also shocked. He held Gu Xi's hand and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I, I … it hurts …" Gu Xi could not give a reasonable explanation.
"Where did you hit?"
Gu Xi shook her head.
Gu Shao had no choice but to stop asking. He took Gu Xi back to the office.
Gu Shao led Gu Xi to the sofa in the office.
Seeing that Gu Xi was still covering her forehead, Gu Shao bent down in front of Gu Xi and was about to pull away Gu Xi's hand that was covering her forehead.
"It hurts …" Gu Xi refused to let go.
"Let me see." Gu Shao lowered his voice.
Only then did Gu Xi let go of her hand.
"Is there a bruise?" Gu Xi looked at Gu Shao nervously and asked.
"No, but it's a little red."
"Wait for me." With that, Gu Shao straightened up and instructed his secretary to buy medicine and an ice pack for bruises.
— —
The secretary quickly came back with the items.
At this moment, Gu Xi was still sitting on the sofa with red eyes.
"Are you responsible for this?" Gu Shao asked.
"…" Gu Xi did not speak.
"Okay, it's fine after applying the medicine. It's not serious."
Although he said that, Gu Shao was still very careful when applying the medicine for Gu Xi.
After applying the medicine, Gu Shao held up the ice pack and helped Gu Xi apply it.
"Why are you standing there?" Gu Shao asked again.
"Just … just to eavesdrop on what you guys are doing," Gu Xi said, her voice getting softer and softer.
Gu Shao: "…"
If it wasn't for the fact that she was his child, Gu Shao would have suspected that Gu Xi was a spy.
At this moment, Gu Shao's phone rang in Gu Xi's hand.
When he was applying the medicine for Gu Xi, Gu Shao had passed his phone to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi and Gu Shao looked at the caller ID at the same time. It was Wang Wu.
Gu Xi looked at Gu Shao.
Gu Shao: "Answer it."
Gu Xi answered the call and put it on speaker.
Wang Wu: "Sir?"
Gu Shao: "Speak."
Wang Wu paused for a second before saying, "You asked me to keep an eye on the Lin family. Today, Song Shishan went to meet Song Kexin."
