“When you see Jiang Junlin, it’s like a hungry dog finding a bone. What can you talk about?”
“Third Master, you’re underestimating him. There should be some restraint, and I’m well aware of it.” Ji Chi thought to himself, why compare it to a dog? He hated dogs, after all, he was more of a wolf!
Lu Zhiyuan didn’t want to say what he was thinking, and Ji Chi knew he couldn’t ask.
In the private room, Gu Ci remained calm, but her heart was filled with worry. What happened to him? Why is he in so much pain? The last time she and Ziyu went to see him, Lu Zhiyuan was also in great discomfort, as if his body was in excruciating pain. Is it because his old injuries didn’t heal properly?
Did using teleportation have such severe aftereffects?
“Cici, have something to eat.” Jiang Junlin handed her pastries and poured a fresh cup of tea to replace the cold one. Gu Ci had no appetite, and Jiang Junlin thought to himself that she still cared a lot about Lu Zhiyuan.
It seems that Lu Zhiyuan initiated the breakup.
Cici didn’t seem to want to break up at all, and Jiang Junlin sneered. Lu Zhiyuan was really blind. With someone as good as Cici, why would he want to break up? Jiang Junlin had always understood that for Lu Zhiyuan, being with Cici brought nothing but benefits and served as a restraint on him. If Lu Zhiyuan didn’t love Cici, what did all those public displays of affection mean?
Love comes quickly and goes just as fast, does it stay passionate for just a day or two?
After he had an accident in Paris, Cici took care of him day and night, almost going crazy with him. Anyone with a bit of kindness would be touched, but Lu Zhiyuan’s heart was made of stone. He didn’t feel moved at all; instead, he wanted to hurt her.
“Cici, did Lu Zhiyuan initiate the breakup?” Jiang Junlin asked.
Gu Ci glanced at the contract, her brother was currently discussing cooperation with Lu Zhiyuan. If she got angry, it might ruin their negotiations. “1 initiated it.”
“Why?”
“Our personalities don’t match, and he has too many fans. It’s annoying.” Gu Ci said seriously.
Jiang Junlin didn’t believe her at all.
When Lu Zhiyuan came in, his face returned to normal. Gu Ci frowned and looked at him. “What’s wrong with you?”
“My old injury acted up. I need to recover quickly for training. The medical team used medication too aggressively, but it’s nothing serious.” Lu Zhiyuan brushed it off casually. He was in excruciating pain as soon as he entered the private room, but there was no sign of it on his face.
Gu Ci couldn’t tell if he was lying or not. He was a man of few words, and he wanted to get back to training as soon as possible. The team doctor couldn’t persuade him, and Jiang Junlin said casually, “Let’s continue our discussion!” Chen Liangdong brought Gu Ziyu to attend a seminar, and most of the participants at this seminar were heavyweights. It was like Gu Ziyu’s formal debut. The average age of the participants was over 40, and Gu Ziyu was the only young one. While others were sipping tea, he was drinking milk and frequently being prompted to speak. Gu Ziyu managed to hold his own in this setting. Despite his young age, he maintained a serious expression, showcasing his exceptional technical skills, which impressed everyone.
Although it was unconventional and unheard of, after months of rumors and Gu Ziyu’s frequent assistance in solving numerous domestic and international cases, they had already accepted this young prodigy. Moreover, with Gu Ziyu on board, the Black Hawk Eye System had made significant leaps, and many people regretted their high moral standards, wishing they had acted quickly and been willing to exploit child labor.
Gu Ziyu received many tempting offers from prestigious government departments, all trying to win over Chen Liangdong.
Chen Liangdong had initially thought that he might face challenges from others, fearing that they might use Gu Ziyu’s age against him. However, it turned out that they were trying to woo Gu Ziyu. He couldn’t help but laugh and cry. Gu Ziyu was young, but he had learned Tai Chi from the master of diplomacy, Chen Liangdong. He appeared to be accepting everyone, but in reality, he was rejecting them all without offending anyone. With his childish remarks and charming personality, he won people over easily. Since the seminar focused on social issues, Gu Ziyu was well-prepared and gained universal approval.
During a break, Gu Ziyu got some snacks, and Chen Liangdong asked, “This afternoon, Jiang Junlin and Lu Zhiyuan have scheduled a meeting. Shouldn’t we wrap things up?”
It was already three o’clock in the afternoon.
“It started at two o’clock. I’m afraid one hour won’t be enough,” Gu Ziyu replied. Regarding the Tang Mingzhou incident, Chen Liangdong didn’t keep it a secret from him. Although Gu Ziyu found himself in an awkward position, he had principles, and he didn’t leak any information about it.
Lu Zhiyuan was not the kind of person who would use his son to gather information, and both sides had their boundaries.
Chen Liangdong was very worried, fearing that they would have a very productive meeting but also fearing that it might not go well. He was in a dilemma. Gu Ziyu saw through his thoughts with a single glance and said, “Old man, don’t overthink it. They won’t have deep cooperation.”
“If they won’t have deep cooperation, why are they talking for so long?” Chen Liangdong had just received a message from Chen Fei. They hadn’t finished their discussion yet, and for some reason, Qin Wan and Rong Li were fighting, damaging a folding screen in a restaurant.
Gu Ziyu hadn’t inquired about what Gu Ci was going to discuss, and Chen Liangdong explained, “If they get along too well, Jiang Junlin will become even more confident and difficult to control. There are already many opposing opinions, and no one has reached a balance. If he has Black Hawk as a backer, the conflicts will intensify. But if they don’t get along, and they start fighting, it’ll be a life-and-death struggle, which will have a significant impact on the financial market’s stability.”
“If you’re so anxious, why don’t you go talk to them too?” Gu Ziyu cleverly suggested, “I can help you connect with them.”
Uncle and Dad probably wouldn’t refuse him.
“No way!” Chen Liangdong shook his head and tapped his nose, “Our position is always neutral.”
“I’m not suggesting you compromise your principles,” Gu Ziyu couldn’t help but smile, “but just a little outside the realm of law and order.”
“Your ideas are quite dangerous,” Chen Liangdong remarked, “just talk to me about it.”
“I’m not that foolish,” Gu Ziyu was never someone to blurt out trouble, he had a sense of propriety, especially at a seminar, where he presented himself as a silent and aloof tech prodigy.
Chen Liangyou walked over, and Chen Liangdong called him “big brother.”
Gu Ziyu also stood up and greeted the newcomer.
Chen Liangyou said, “Kid Yu, I have something to discuss with Liangdong.”
“I’ll go to the restroom,” Gu Ziyu took his snacks and headed out, searching for an empty balcony to enjoy his snacks. He found these seminars particularly irksome. They talked about serious matters, often related to people’s livelihoods, technology, education, and the topics varied each time. Representatives from various departments came to discuss.
The conversations proceeded at a leisurely pace, more like sipping tea and chatting while snacking on melon seeds. How else could you describe a seminar like this? Gu Ziyu found it annoying. He didn’t like these meetings and found them torturous.
“Kid, I heard you’re the little genius brought by Old Chen. Interested in joining our national defense?” A commanding voice interrupted Gu Ziyu’s drowsiness. He silently left his snacks behind.
The man in front of him was around forty years old, still very young, handsome in appearance, with a strong and powerful physique. He was wearing a green uniform. Gu Ziyu glanced at his shoulder insignia and realized he was dealing with a young major general.
“Hello, Uncle.. I’m Gu Ziyu,” Gu Ziyu greeted with a cheerful smile and innocently asked, “Who are you?”
