Chapter 153 Preliminary Rounds (8)
Chapter 153 Preliminary Rounds (8)
Fu Yichen was overthinking things; Gu Shijiu hadn't even considered setting up any plot.
She was always being driven by the plot.
Sure enough, when she was stopped by an unassuming domestic car today, she knew she had triggered a new plot development.
"Miss Song, could you please come with us?"
The driver spoke politely, but his posture was very forceful, subtly blocking all the surrounding roads.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shijiu did not resist and simply ran after the car.
Liu Mingna, watching from a distance, was filled with frustration and regret.
So many days have passed, and she still hasn't found a chance to become Gu Shijiu's friend.
The fact that this person was taken away by a car means there must be an important plot development.
Like her, school doctor Lin Jingyu also shared the same regret.
Gu Shijiu's health is now very good; she never gets sick and never needs to go to the school clinic.
She doesn't even need the painkillers that girls usually get every month.
Strangely enough, after the prince was injured that day, he did not seek revenge on Gu Shijiu.
Liu Mingna and Lin Jingyu were both waiting to lend a hand, but in the end, they were not needed.
They can only follow a thin storyline every day, hoping to encounter something special.
Gu Shijiu was unaware that two contestants were staring at her like statues waiting for their husbands. She looked around the car's interior with some curiosity.
Unlike its ordinary exterior, the car's interior has no fancy decorations, but it looks very sturdy.
They arrived at their destination shortly afterward, where Zhang Guihua was also present; she seemed somewhat nervous.
An elderly woman with a kind face sat down beside her. When she saw Gu Shijiu, she carefully reached out her hand and said, "Child, come here and let me take a look."
Gu Shijiu sat down next to Zhang Guihua.
"Child, you may not know this, but your mother was abducted and trafficked." The old man told Gu Shijiu a story.
It's roughly about how Jiang's daughter was kidnapped and sold to the Zhang family by her political enemies out of revenge.
The Zhang family originally wanted to buy a child bride, but it took them a long time after buying Zhang Guihua for her to give birth to a son.
Because of the significant age difference between the two, the Zhang family accepted a dowry after Zhang Guihua came of age and gave her to Song Xiaojun's father.
Fortunately, this man treated her very well.
Gu Shijiu listened to a story for free and found it quite interesting. He casually picked up an orange from the table and ate it while listening.
Zhang Guihua kept crying.
"Child, what do you think?" The old man asked with some emotion after finishing the story.
Gu Shijiu thought for a moment: "Human trafficking is a crime."
That was all she could think of; she couldn't do anything criminal.
The old man misunderstood her meaning: "Don't worry, the criminals involved in this matter back then have all been apprehended and are awaiting trial."
As for the Zhang family, they naturally didn't fare well either.
There's no need to say this in front of the children.
"I don't have any other thoughts." Gu Shijiu didn't know what to think.
Zhang Guihua kept crying, and soon after, her parents returned.
The family naturally broke down in tears.
That evening, Jiang invited Zhang Guihua and Gu Shijiu to stay at his home and promised to hold a banquet for her a month later.
As for Fu Yichen, to be honest, the Jiang family was somewhat dissatisfied, as their daughter had been living under the guise of a mistress for so many years.
But they couldn't find fault with Fu Yichen.
Zhang Guihua was sold by Zhang Jiaqiang, and it was Fu Yichen who brought her back.
A large family like the Jiang family naturally understands the principle of marrying someone of equal social standing.
Fu Yichen even divorced his wife for Zhang Guihua, but the Fu family had always disapproved of the marriage, and he really had no choice.
In the past two years, Zhang Guihua has been living a life of luxury with her daughter in a villa. Seeing that she didn't want to leave Fu Yichen, the Jiang family accepted her as their son-in-law.
It can be said that Fu Yichen's plan was a great success.
Next, all he needs to do is work step by step and lead the company to the next level.
After staying for a few days, Zhang Guihua went back with Fu Yichen.
As she was leaving, Gu Shijiu saw someone who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
The face was unfamiliar because of its plain and ordinary appearance, yet familiar because it belonged to Shi Qi.
"hour--"
"Cough cough cough!!!"
Gu Shijiu had just opened her mouth when the person opposite her coughed violently, interrupting her.
She then realized that she had almost been eliminated.
Gu Shijiu felt a little embarrassed. Her mind raced as she tried to salvage the situation, but to no avail.
Shi Qi could tell from her expression that her mind was completely blank: "It's you, Miss Song."
"Oh yes, yes, hello." Gu Shijiu nodded vigorously. "What's your name?"
Shi Qi found her cute and reached out to stroke her hair, but was immediately grabbed by the sleeve.
"This is a young lady from the Jiang family. Who do you think you are to dare lay a hand on her?"
Gu Shijiu smiled smugly: "Hey, you there, come here, I need to talk to you."
Shi Qi responded immediately, "Coming right away—what can I do for you?"
"Hehe." Gu Shijiu tilted her head and pulled Shi Qi aside: "Who are you?"
"His name is Su Ming. He is an orphan who received financial assistance from the Jiang family to attend university and is now conducting research."
Gu Shijiu was surprised: "You can do scientific research?"
Shi Qi almost shed a tear of bitterness: "That's definitely not going to happen. I'm struggling every day, trying not to be kicked out of the lab."
"Ah—" Gu Shijiu leaned back tactically, "Need any help?"
"When will you become a capitalist and invest some money in the lab? Then I won't have to do scientific research anymore; I can be their sugar daddy."
Shi Qi said in a serious tone.
Gu Shijiu didn't know where to get the money: "Do you have to do scientific research? Can't you change jobs?"
"I can get you a job at Fu Yichen's company; you can just take any odd job."
Shi Qi leaned close to Gu Shijiu's ear and whispered, "I've thought of a way to stand out in the competition."
We have a genius in our lab, he's researching...blah blah blah.
Shi Qi was unaware that he and Gu Shijiu had long stood out from the crowd.
"Haha, isn't this the second-place 6187? I occasionally check to see what kind of trouble he's causing this time."
"I see how ordinary people pretend to be scientific research gurus every day, haha."
"That's terrible. He probably doesn't even know he's in second place now."
"I prefer an unlucky ordinary person to a violent girl with a dull mind."
"By the way, what did he say? Why won't we hear it?"
"This is a special feature of the live stream. We can temporarily withhold information that involves spoilers. Wasn't it the same when Fu Yichen made Zhang Guihua recognize her relatives?"
"I suspect he didn't understand at all and was just nodding."
"By the way, how did they recognize each other at a glance? Aren't they afraid of mistaking one for the other?"
......
After listening to Shi Qi's explanation, Gu Shijiu felt it was very reliable: "Don't worry, I will definitely let this research continue."
"What are you planning to do?" Shi Qi had a bad feeling.
"I'm going to ask Fu Yichen and the Jiang family for money," Gu Shijiu said confidently.
