Save my wife all over the world

Chapter 106 The upstart president and the poor gold (2)

====================================

Looking at the old man in front of him suspiciously, Gu Zhong paused.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with you?"

"Miss Gu probably doesn't recognize me, the old man is your grandfather's old friend."

The old man looked very kind, and said in an extremely kind and gentle tone. His pronunciation was a fusion of inland and Hong Kong accents, which sounded very strange.

"Many years ago, I went to the inland by chance, and I was able to return to my hometown until today. I didn't expect that the Gu family would fall like this. It's really unexpected..."

After speaking, the old man sighed a little, and the corners of his eyes were moist, as if he was saddened by the unexpected changes in the world.

"... When the old man returns to his hometown, things are different and people are different, so it is inevitable to be sad. Please don't be too sad."

Seeing that the old man sincerely misses and sighs, and Gu Zhong is not familiar with the separated friends of her grandfather's generation, she can only imagine that the old man may really have some connection with the Gu family, so Gu Zhong comforted him patiently.

"Miss Gu, I don't know where you are now, can you allow me to visit you one or two days?"

After a while, the old man slowly opened his mouth and asked about Gu Zhong's current residence.

"Nowadays... it may not be convenient to borrow from a friend's house."

Glancing in the direction where Ling Yan was, Gu Zhong seemed a bit embarrassed, and secretly became vigilant about the old man's proposal.

Although it is very possible that she wants to remember her old friend, but after all, she is not someone she knows well. Gu Zhong will not trust him just because of his simple sentence.

"Forget it, tomorrow I want to go to your grandfather's tomb to pay respects. I wonder if Ms. Gu can go with me?"

The old man sighed slightly and made another suggestion.

"Old sir, what is this?"

Now anyone with a discerning eye could feel something was wrong, Gu Zhong looked at him rather strangely, his eyes full of scrutiny.

"Miss Gu doesn't have to be so vigilant, I'm going back to the inland in a few days, but there are some things I want to discuss with Miss Gu alone."

Seeing Gu Zhong's resistance, the old man hastily explained.

"I also have a lot to say, I want to talk to your grandpa."

Then I added a sentence, it seems that I really have a deep relationship and relationship with the Gu family.

"it is good···"

He was dubious, but Gu Zhong finally agreed. Grandpa was buried in the cemetery. She has been busy with things recently, so she hasn't visited the grave for a long time, so she should just talk about it by the way. Anyway, she has nothing to lose.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself just now. Miss Gu, my surname is Fang. Your speech just now was very exciting."

Then the old man suddenly remembered something, reported his last name, and then sent a compliment.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang."

After politely thanking the old man, Gu Zhong bid farewell to the old man, and reconfirmed the appointment time.

"that person--"

When they were talking, Ling Yan didn't go there until Gu Zhong finished his greetings and came to her side, then she frowned and opened her mouth.

"He called himself surnamed Fang, and said he was an old friend of my grandfather's."

Looking at the silver-haired old man who was trembling towards the door, Gu Chongwen repeated the conversation just now.

"So he asked you to visit your grandpa tomorrow?"

Ling Yan frowned even tighter.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Seeing her like this, Gu Zhong asked with some concern.

"His identity is not a problem. His name is Fang Yu. His ancestral home is indeed Hong Kong Island. Now he can be regarded as the king of merchants in the inland area. It's just that he doesn't know why he is looking for you. It's better to be careful. "

Just because he knew his identity and didn't know the good or evil of the comer, Ling Yan was even more worried.

"I'll go with you tomorrow."

At the end, she thought for a moment and added another sentence.

"Miss Ling, you don't have to worry about me all the time."

For her reaction, if you want to find a vivid description, it's like an old mother who is worried about her chick cub being taken away by a fox. Gu Zhong can't help but smile wryly.

Not knowing how to express her worries to Gu Zhong, Ling Yan could only insist on her own opinion with extra stubbornness.

The final result was that Ling Yan personally sent Gu Zhong to the cemetery where the Gu family was buried, and accompanied her to meet Mr. Sun.

Today, maybe the weather has been dull for too long, but God finally showed mercy and was willing to splash a little rain.

From early in the morning, the drizzle shrouded the whole city in a haze, washing away the heat of the scorching summer.

Holding an umbrella together, the two women stepped up the wide stone steps of the cemetery and walked towards the cemetery above.

There was already another black round umbrella waiting there. Looking closer, the silver-haired old man was wearing a pure black suit and overcoat today, a look of nostalgia and mourning.

He stood alone in the rain, his eyes down in thought, a bottle of newly opened wine and a bouquet of fresh flowers on the cemetery in front of him.

"Mr. Fang."

Gu Zhong called softly, and the old man recovered from his memories.

He looked at the two people who came with him, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"Who is this?"

"One of my close friends, Ms. Ling, has been relying on her help during this time."

Gu Zhong's tone was very intimate.

Mr. Fang looked at Ling Yan suspiciously, as if recalling something in his mind.

"Mr. Fang, hello. I'm Ling Yan, from Yanjing."

Seemingly spying on what he was wondering about, Ling Yan stretched out her hand and introduced herself.

"So it's Miss Ling's family."

A look of sudden realization appeared in Mr. Fang's eyes. Obviously, the combination of this name and the city is extremely iconic.

"Unexpectedly, Miss Ling is also a big shot in the interior?"

This reaction made Gu Zhong a little surprised, the family who wanted to come to Ling Yan was also well-known in the interior.

"It's just the honor of the family, it has nothing to do with me."

Ling Yan chuckled, separating himself from his family.

"Miss Ling is indeed a character. The career she has made at a young age makes the old man admire her very much."

Mr. Fang gave her a very high praise, and then changed the subject, looking between the two of them.

"Miss Ling specially accompanied Miss Gu to sacrifice and sweep today. It really is a deep friendship."

"I hope I didn't disturb Mr. Fang."

Avoiding the sharp edge of his words, Ling Yan said softly.

Mr. Fang sighed heavily, poured a glass of wine, and slowly sprinkled it in front of Grandpa Gu Zhong's tomb. The wine was flowing with the rain, and he began to talk about some old stories.

This said, from the early morning to the noon, until the clouds disappear and the rain fades away, the sky gradually opens, but I still feel that the meaning is still unfinished.

"When people get old, they always miss the past unconsciously, and talk a little too much."

It wasn't until a young man's call came from below that Mr. Fang smiled apologetically and stopped talking.

"Thank you very much for what you said today, about the old things about my grandfather and father."

For Gu Zhong, she really recalled some stories that she vaguely heard in her childhood, and she couldn't help being immersed in joyful and sad nostalgia.

"Miss Gu, shall we have lunch together today?"

Mr. Fang seemed to mention it casually, but he missed Ling Yan.

"I still have something to do at noon, so I can't participate in the gathering of the two of you."

Although it was strange, Ling Yan still made a sensible excuse to make an excuse and prepared to take a step ahead.

Since others don't want her to know what is going to be discussed, why should she bother herself.

"Miss Gu, please send me a message if you need anything."

Before leaving, she still gave some uneasy instructions, in exchange for a nonchalant smile from Gu Zhong.

Due to the heart-to-heart talk all morning, Gu Zhong temporarily believed that the old gentleman was an old friend of his grandfather, so he no longer declined his invitation, and went to a famous tea house in the city center for dinner with him.

"Mr. Fang, what's the matter with you? Want to send Miss Ling away?"

Savoring this year's new Shanghao Yuqian Longjing carefully, Gu Zhong directly asked out his doubts.

"Miss Gu is working in Yaozhong now, right?"

Mr. Fang did not answer her question directly, but asked her instead.

"That's right, thanks to Miss Ling's willingness to give this opportunity, otherwise it would be really difficult for me to turn around alone."

"But Miss Gu, are you really willing to become a wage earner in your original company? With all due respect, you really can't get too close to Ling Yan."

Mr. Fang's expression condensed, and his words were quite harsh, as if he was educating the ignorant juniors.

"What do you mean by that?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhong put down the teacup in displeasure, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

-

It was already late at night when Ling Yan received Gu Zhong's text message, and she didn't know what the two of them were talking about, and they talked for so long.

"Miss Ling."

Gu Zhong opened the car door and got into the passenger seat, and called her, looking extremely tired.

"You look tired."

Ling Yan greeted with some worry.

"fine."

Gu Zhong smiled slightly, then closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to have any more unnecessary conversations.

Sighing lightly, Ling Yan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she just started the car without saying a word.

"Miss Ling, may I ask you a question?"

After half of the silence, Gu Zhong asked suddenly.

"Huh? Yes."

Ling Yan responded casually.

"If it was you, there is a chance to get a hundred times or even a thousand times the profit, would you choose to try it?"

Gu Zhong still had his eyes closed, but his pretty brows were tightly wrinkled, as if troubled by troubles.

"Miss Gu, I think you should know this matter best. Behind any huge profit there are hidden dangers and traps that cannot be seen. If you step into it rashly, you will only end up in pieces."

It was clear that Gu Chao buried the Gu family in this way, but Gu Zhong still asked this question.That must not be a sudden whim, it must have been affected by something.

"What did Fang Yu tell you?"

"It's nothing."

This time was completely different from the past, Gu Zhong still chose to keep silent, as if he had lost all trust in Ling Yan.

"Miss Gu!"

Ling Yan felt a little upset, she braked suddenly and stopped the car on the side of the road, and called out a little harshly.

Only then did Gu Zhong lazily open his eyes, all the tired emotions were hidden inside.

"···"

With just one glance, Ling Yan suppressed all the questioning words to her stomach. Even though she was annoyed because she felt the loss of trust, she didn't need to get angry and intervene to criticize Gu Zhong's decision.

"Miss Gu, if you can't decide on something for the time being, you might as well think about it again, don't be affected by the imaginary deadline, there is nothing that must be done immediately."

She slowed down her tone and returned to her gentle and soft appearance.

"Miss Ling, let me think about it again."

Looking at her, Gu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then he spoke, as if he was responding to the question just now, but he didn't seem to be.

-

Counting the time, I have stayed in Lingyan on Hong Kong Island for half a year, and the purpose of coming here in the first place, whether it is to do business with the official or provide support for Gu Zhong, has basically been achieved.

Most of her property is still inland, and she cannot be completely ignored. An emergency call across the river and sea is after all urging Ling Yan to turn back.

And during this time, I don't know what Gu Zhong is busy with, and he often disappears all day long.

The time of the two is no longer synchronized, and they can't see each other in the morning and sunset. The farewell this time seems so hasty.

With only time to say something in the message, Ling Yan left an empty villa for Gu Zhong, and boarded the flight back to Yanjing.

When receiving Ling Yan's message, Gu Zhong was buried in a sea of ​​documents, verifying the opportunity Fang Yu provided her, and she wanted to judge whether it was an opportunity to invest based on her own ability.

She thought it was an ordinary greeting message, but when she saw the words "emergency, return to Yanjing today, if you don't return soon, call the Union if something happens", she couldn't help but froze in place.

It was only then that she realized how much she had neglected the relationship between the two of them during this time, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye.

Although they are all adults who are busy with their careers, there is no need to stick together all day long, but having that person is there is peace of mind.

Even though what Fang Yu said to her planted a small thorn in her heart and made Gu Zhong avoid it a little recently, it did not hinder the deep-rooted dependence that she had developed in this short period of time.

When that person really left, it was as if there was a piece of emptiness in his heart, and he was able to take time out of his busy schedule to be dazed.

Fortunately, this is not a permanent parting, Ling Yan will always come back.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhong devoted himself to her busy calculations as usual.

-

It took three days to deal with the decisions that had to be reviewed by her personally, and Ling Yan couldn't help feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and began to think about moving the headquarters to Hong Kong Island.

After all, Gu Zhong can't lead Yaozhong out of that island city for the time being. The development of a group needs a lot of time. If you don't want to be in such a hurry in the future, the relocation of the headquarters seems to be an imperative thing.

Just as Ling Yan was thinking about returning in two days, and thinking about what special gift to bring to Gu Zhong, a sad news that made her hands and feet cold came first.
