“What is left of your company is just an empty shell, and no one who has a brain will use their money to buy such a company.” Gu Xiqiao leaned against the car window, smiling gently as he spoke, confident in what he said.
Mu Zong had managed an internet company, and returned when he focused on his daughter Mu Jiatong's illness, which he had been in, a spy who has been sent to his company takes the opportunity to steal the company's secrets and a newly developed game from him, causing him to leave. Moreover, how its competitors took the opportunity to tie up most of its developers and employees, and the company's top brass even took funds with them, leaving the company a metaphorical pile of junk.
A pawn? Who wants it?
As the strongest artificial intelligence in the world, the system had gathered all the information Gu Xiqiao needed to know about Mu Zong, so he was superior in negotiations. “Therefore, if you believe me, you will be able to bounce back without any problems.”
In the same way that a drowning man would grab a piece of driftwood, Mu Zong finally chose to believe in this mysterious girl after seeing her supernatural achievements that afternoon, Mu Zong finally chose to believe in this mysterious girl, and the two schedule a date to meet and discuss the future of his company.
Jiang Shuxuan who had exited the mall entrance stood in the distance and looked at Gu Xiqiao, only walking towards the car after he hung up the phone.
“Your friend gave it to you?” He turned on the machine and asked, looking at the bag Gu Xiqiao was holding.
Gu Xiqiao stared at the bag, his tone becoming lighter and brighter as he did. “My roommate Xiao Yun did it .. She's the girl I was with.”
Seeing his excited reaction to the gift, Jiang Shuxuan recalled how he reacted the same when he sent him a painting album. “You're really excited about the gift, aren't you?”
After he spoke, his movements paused for a moment as he thought about it thoroughly. An ordinary person would love to get a reward, but would not be as excited as he was about them, and once he thought of his background, he finally understood why it was happening. He must have had a hard time in the Gu family, right? No one cared enough for her to care about her general well-being, so a gift was definitely impossible.
So that's why he was so excited when he got the gift…
Her niece would get so many gifts every year on her birthday that it could be put in a warehouse, and she didn't even open a few gifts often. On the contrary, what Gu Xiqiao had experienced was too much for someone his age. As soon as Jiang Shuxuan thought of this, a faint fury began to appear in his eyes.
Back at the mansion, Madam Zhang gave Gu Xiqiao another bowl of medicinal soup which he then ate with a bitter expression. Upon seeing this, he could not help but smile, his sour mood slightly eased.
Madam Zhang received the empty bowl from Gu Xiqiao with a satisfied smile. “Lately you've become healthier, you're practically glowing! I told you this medicinal soup would help, so you better take it every day, okay? ”
In fact, the main reason why he looked healthier was because he had a breakthrough in his ancient martial arts, but could he say so? Gu Xiqiao had always been a goodwill sucker, so he could only drink soup without being able to resist. “Mrs. Zhang, you did not change the medicine.. ”.
“No, I already asked the doctor, and he told me that I could not skimp on the material, or the effect would be disturbed.” Madam Zhang replied with a serious expression.
Gu Xiqiao: “...”
This can be considered a sweet burden. He did not have the chance to be treated like this even if he wanted to be in the past, so he was quite satisfied with his present situation.
The next day, Gu Xiqiao came out for a morning practice session before going to school. Jiang Shuxuan was the one who drove him to school and had been doing so for the past few days.
Gu Xiqiao got off at the fork in the road near First City High School and only turned around to walk towards the school as soon as he saw her off.
Wu Hongwen who arrived at almost the same time saw him and ran towards him to pat him on the shoulder.
So the two walked towards the school gate together, and Wu Hongwen was rambling about the exam they had taken a few days earlier as he drank a bottle of soy milk. As it turned out, the results had already come out, and rumors had it that all the teachers were counting the results and the ranking of the students the night before.
Students in the final year all care about their grades more than anything because it is an integral part of their future, and most of the other students they passed by talked about this topic as well.
“The robot will get first place again ..” Wu Hongwen finished the soy milk and threw it in the trash, and the bottle clinked at the edge of the bin before rolling on the ground.
With a quick glance from Gu Xiqiao, he timidly walked over and took the bottle to properly dispose of it into the trash, before asking her in bewilderment. Who's robot?
Coming to this topic, Wu Hongwen slightly gritted his teeth as he spoke. “I mean Luo Wenlang. We were from the same high school, and since our second year, she has always been at the top of the rankings, with near-perfect grades. That's why everyone calls him a test robot! ”
This person had incredible value, but he was not a person who socialized and showed off his achievements, a true wolf who did not talk much with his classmates. According to some rumors, he lives in chaotic alleys and is often seen getting into trouble with gangsters, so many students avoid him of their own accord.
Wu Hongwen had a grudge against this genius who could defeat him in every way, but of course, he did not act on that grudge, only nagging about him endlessly.
As the two spoke, they came face to face with Zhong Yongsi on the stairs, the latter descending the stairs with a picture canvas in hand.
The events of last week were still fresh in their minds, and neither side was on good terms with each other. Gu Xiqiao's expression was extremely cold as he waved to Wu Hongwen, before climbing the stairs without a word.
She wore the dress that Xiao Yun gave her on that day, and the white flower-patterned dress further complemented her porcelain skin, and her hair was draped behind her head, and though her head was lowered and her lips were furrowed, her hair was cut off, he can still be seen.
Zhong Yongsi stood there on the stairs in a short-sleeved t-shirt, feeling his hair touch his arms.
The talkative young man had become silent the past few days. Like most of the people who witnessed this incident, he did not believe in the news reported on that day, and did not believe that Gu Xijin was such a person!
So, he started searching for information on the internet and social media, but what he found were many videos showing Gu Xiqiao's side that he hadn't even tried to understand before.
There was one of him saving a boy, about him feeding a stray dog, about him saving an old man, and about him concentrating on painting …. These are all videos taken by passers-by and uploaded to the internet.
All netizens praised her as a young girl who had high morals, and all sided with this illegitimate daughter instead of Gu Xijin who had become morally twisted even with a good education, he said, she called Gu Xiqiao a goddess. Because of this incident, many netizens dug up dirt and gossip on Gu Xijin and even posted videos of how Gu Xijin's clothes were torn some time ago.
Zhong Yongsi did not know how to react, but the one thing he knew was that he had made a huge mistake.
Gu Xiqiao was truly talented at painting and not the one who stole the painting, and even Gu Xijin's talent could not even come close to a tenth of his. What made it even harder to accept the reality was the fact that Gu Xijin, a very talented girl, would deceive and lead everyone to believe that Gu Xiqiao was the one who had stolen his painting!
He had suffered because of this over the past week, and it had even caused him to mess up his mock exam so much that he was called to chat with his teacher. This was why he would paint in the first place, but he did not expect to meet the two as he walked down.
He had always hated people who oppressed others, but he was the one who led the other students to oppress Gu Xiqiao?
