Lure, Fungus

Chapter 108 Missed

Although there were four people at the party, they eventually separated in pairs.

It just so happened that Bai Muge and Jiang Zhu also had a lot to say, and this was exactly what they wanted.

Pei Yunche followed Gu Shengye to the study.

Entering the study, Pei Yunche easily locked the door and sat opposite Gu Shengye.

In previous years, they had always held private gatherings between the two of them, and the topics were nothing more than the company's interests, market monopoly, and finding new partners.

"What reliable partners can we find at the Gu's annual meeting?"

Gu Shengye asked with concern.

"I'll help you deal with it, and you can go enjoy the flowers and the moon."

Pei Yunche's "true nature" would only be revealed in front of him.

"Don't tell me you didn't."

Gu Shengye was referring to "under the flowers and the moon", and he said it in a very serious manner, as if this was not a topic that could not be discussed.

Pei Yunche couldn't stand him showing off here, as if he didn't exist.

The inexplicable irritation in his heart made him choose to return to the topic.

"I don't have a reliable partner. You know the morals of the merchants in Haicheng. On the surface, the stock price is rising and the sales market is expanding, but in fact, if there is a slight mistake, there is a risk of bankruptcy. It is doomed to fail, let alone become a long-term family business. However, there is one in Beijing."

Beijing?

This surprised Gu Shengye.

He did invite business celebrities from the capital in order to consolidate his business in the capital.

But relying on Gu's strength, it is understandable that Pei Yunche helps him to establish some connections.

But considering their ambitions, Gu Shengye found Pei Yunche's idea incredible that he could take a fancy to the project in Beijing.

Gu Shengye thought that this project should not be just for profit.

Otherwise, Pei Yunche would never have mentioned it to him.

At the same time, it also aroused Gu Shengye's curiosity.

He spoke slowly, "Tell me in detail."

"His name is Jiang Chen. He wants to discuss a medical project, a pharmaceutical project. According to him, he wants to find investment."

“To put it bluntly, it’s just a company that’s short of money. I don’t know whether it really wants to make drugs or just wants to profit from it, so the money is going down the drain.”

The Jiang family in Beijing.

Gu Shengye had some impression.

In the past, the Jiang family was also a famous family business in Beijing. It had been run by the family for four generations and was doing very well in Beijing.

However, it has gradually declined in recent decades, and its current situation is precarious.

It's a miracle that I can hold on until now.

“Any investment ideas?”

"Not yet. Although the pharmaceutical industry has high profits, it also suffers from losses. The research and development process takes a long time and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. If it succeeds, the price is not affordable and the product is only used by capital. However, if it fails, all efforts will be in vain."

Pei Yunche was right.

What's more, there are many people in Pei family who are eyeing him covetously.

He would rather keep his power longer.

However, after Pei Yunche communicated with Jiang Chen, he wanted to invest in this project, but the timing was really not right.

But suddenly I thought, "Sister Gu Shan is back."

"How did my sister get involved?"

"No, I was thinking, isn't Sister Gu Shan a medical student? She should have some knowledge or understanding of pharmaceutical manufacturing. I was thinking, let's keep the project first. I want to find some time to talk to Sister Gu Shan and listen to her opinions. If it can be done, I don't know how many families can be saved."

Gu Shengye was very satisfied with Pei Yunche's answer. His eyes were bright and firm, and he spoke calmly, "Okay."

Gu Shengye talked to Pei Yunche about what happened at the annual meeting, and more or less used his connections to help him.

"Then, what is the Pei family's next plan? What do you think the head of the Pei family will let you do?"

Pei Yunche thought carefully about the question raised by Gu Shengye.

Now, his father has been released from the hospital, and Pei Yi's mother is taking good care of him.

In fact, Pei Yunche knew in his heart that she just wanted to say a good word to Pei Yi and his father.

But, what’s next?

Pei Yunche felt that his father was about to enter old age and had slowly handed over the family business to him. The next step would probably be for him to start a family and a career.

So he said two words with certainty but with difficulty, "Get married."

I just don’t know if it’s me or Pei Yi.

"Then, will you agree?"

"Yes." Pei Yunche said firmly.

But there was a dull look in his eyes. No one knew better than him how long he had waited, how long he had wasted time, and how long he had been dormant in order to achieve his goal.

But after saying this, I felt bitter in my heart.

A suffocating feeling seemed to linger in his heart, as if he was imprisoned by invisible constraints and unable to breathe freely.

Because, in the near future he will let Jiang Zhu down.

I have failed to live up to her deep love and sincerity.

Thinking of Jiang Zhu's face and how cautious she was every time she loved him, he lowered his head to look at the pocket containing the ointment.

The absurdity and madness of that night emerged in his mind, and he actually felt a little regretful, as if if time could stop at that second, he would choose another answer. He wanted to say, he would not.

But things went against one's wishes. In Pei Yunche's heart, Jiang Zhu could not resist his obsession and finally chose the opposite answer.

There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"Mr. Pei, you are truly heartless." Gu Shengye said casually, trying to provoke him.

But judging from the helplessness in his eyes just now, Pei Yunche really had feelings for Jiang Zhu.

It's not pretending.

"Yes, when it comes to deep affection, Shengye is second, who dares to claim to be first?"

Pei Yunche's joking way of speaking concealed his disappointment, which also made Gu Shengye agree.

He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the woman in Merlin, a faint smile on his lips, his eyes fixed on Xiao Mu'er, filled with deep affection.

Pei Yunche was right. He had finally managed to get Xiao Mu'er into Haicheng University to pursue her musical dream, and he also designed a plan for himself and her to meet again. How could he not be deeply in love with her?

But when Pei Yunche looked at Jiang Zhu, a faint smile appeared on his usually stern face.

The two of them were seen whispering, laughing, and playing in the snow in Merlin in a very affectionate manner.

Jiang Zhu was having so much fun, he smiled faintly, but his eyes were inexplicably sore.

Gu Shengye glanced at Pei Yunche beside him, his eyes clearly filled with admiration and reluctance.

And yet he insists on being strong.

He chuckled secretly, thinking that Pei Yunche had been completely defeated by Jiang Zhu.

As for whether the two of them can succeed in the end, it depends on how Pei Yunche chooses.

Or, it also depends on how Jiang Zhu makes a choice.

Thinking of this, Gu Shengye began to doubt.

Jiang Bamboo?

Jiang Chen?

All of them have the surname Jiang?

So is there any connection between the two of them?

"Have you investigated Jiang Chen? Are there any brothers or sisters?"

Although Pei Yunche was confused, he would not fail to answer Gu Shengye's question.

He trusts his brother very much.

"I checked. He has a sister who is studying at a university abroad. She seems to be studying music."

music?

Jiang Zhu studied business in Haicheng, so he should have no connection with the Jiang family in Beijing.

Just in case, he had to send someone to check it out.

In the plum forest, Bai Muge and Jiang Zhu were talking and chatting.

Facing her good sister, Bai Muge just wanted to chat with her. Fortunately, Gu Shengye did not pester her and took Pei Yunche away.

Now there was finally no one to disturb her and Xiao Zhu's time together.

"Xiao Zhu, where is your home? I don't think I've ever asked you."

Jiang Zhu heard this, but she didn't want to reveal her identity, so she had to evade the question, "It's just in a small town in Haicheng, there's nothing much to say."

Small town?

Hearing this word, Bai Muge felt that some images flashed through her mind, but she couldn't catch it.

Naturally, I didn't care.

"A small town. As far as I can remember, I have only lived in an orphanage in Haicheng. I worked hard to get into college and then entered Haicheng."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhu felt guilty towards Bai Muge. His good friend told him everything.

When the time comes, Jiang Zhu will tell the truth about his identity and no longer hide it.

I just hope that Mu Mu won’t be too surprised by then!

Haicheng Zoo.

Gu Shan took Hu Hu to see the giant pandas.

In the car, Hu Hu began to look forward to it and kept muttering to Gu Shan.

Today, they came early and there are not many tourists yet.

She then held Hu Hu's hand and walked towards the panda house.

Along the way, Hu Hu jumped and skipped, telling people how much he loved giant pandas.

Gu Shan listened to Hu Hu's words with a smile, his heart filled with warmth and happiness.

Finally, they came to the glass of the giant panda.

Hu Hu's eyes widened, staring at the huge and cute animal in front of him.

The panda was lying lazily on the grass eating bamboo. It looked so adorable that people couldn't help but want to get closer.

But even though I can't touch the pandas, I am content to watch them through the glass.

Hu Hu clapped his hands excitedly in front of the glass and shouted, "Giant pandas are so cute!!"

Gu Shan was also infected by Hu Hu's emotions, and the happiness in his deep affection was self-evident.

The panda inside seemed to be infected by Hu Hu's emotions and knew how much they liked him, so he gave them an impromptu performance on the spot.

Make their trip worthwhile.

After seeing the pandas, Gu Shan planned to take Hu Hu to other places to see other animals.

However, pandas are China's national treasure and are deeply loved by children. Even though it is winter, there are still many children in the zoo.

Gu Shan was afraid of getting separated from Hu Hu, so he kept holding him in his arms.

Unfortunately, they went out now when the crowds were at their peak.

Hu Hu likes to rub against his mother, hug her neck and act coquettishly with her. He didn't notice the crowded crowd. As long as he was in Gu Shan's arms, he had an invisible sense of security and didn't have to worry about anything.

"Mom, Hu Hu will come again next spring."

"Okay, as long as..." Before Gu Shan could finish her words, she felt someone pushing her back.

She was in danger of falling if she moved forward unconsciously.

Fortunately, she had a good grasp of her center of gravity and avoided this possible accident.

"Ma'am, are you okay? I'm sorry." The person who pushed her apologized to her, explained that he had no choice but to do so, and begged for forgiveness.

"It's all right, sir. Don't worry about it."

Hu Hu also threw himself on his mother, "Mom, are you okay?"

On the way out of the panda house, Gu Shan patiently comforted Hu Hu, "It's okay, mommy can still hold Hu Hu tightly now, thank you Hu Hu for your concern."

After calming Hu Hu down, Gu Shan held him and continued walking forward.

With just a casual glance, Gu Shan saw Jiang Chen.

The moment my eyes fixed on him, a familiar feeling instantly lingered around me.

Her entire body seemed to be frozen in place by a spell, unable to move at all.

Gu Shan stared at his handsome features. It was still the same outline in his memory, remaining the same as before after so long.

His gentle and elegant temperament was exactly the same as the young man who was as gentle as the breeze and bright as the moon back then, but Gu Shan couldn't help but say, "You've become thinner and more haggard!"

Is Jiang's work already so tiring for him? Gu Shan wondered.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Hu Hu's words instantly brought back Gu Shan's distant memories.

Gu Shan knew that he came today to fulfill a sentence he had accidentally said to him, "I want to go to the zoo in Haicheng with him to see the pandas."

But now, times have changed, things have changed, and what we said back then seems insignificant.

From now on, their relationship should be like that of strangers in the movies who pass each other countless times but never have any intersection.

On today's trip to the zoo, Hu Hu, who knew nothing, was the happiest one.

As night fell, the snow in Haicheng gradually stopped. Perhaps it was because it was tired and needed a rest.

Bai Muge and Jiang Zhu want to go to the night market near the school.

Gu Shengye and Pei Yunche had no choice but to pamper them.

The end of the year is approaching, and in order to create a better atmosphere, the snack street near their school did not close, which instead attracted a large number of people.

Therefore, there are a lot of people at night.

However, the atmosphere of the New Year is only created by the hustle and bustle!!

Jiang Zhu took Pei Yunche away.

Gu Shengye followed his little Mu'er closely.

Bai Muge couldn't walk when he saw the octopus balls stall.

I bought one and ate it while walking.

Gu Shengye remembered the second day after he met Xiao Mu'er again, but he saw Xiao Mu'er eating octopus balls on the tree-lined path on the campus.

At that time, her mouth was round and round, and her expression was so cute that Gu Shengye's heart was melted.

Winter came in a blink of an eye, and he had been with little Mu'er for such a long time without realizing it.

But Gu Shengye felt that it was not enough, far from enough. He wanted to stay with Xiao Mu'er until old age.

But, having said that, are these octopus balls really that delicious?

Little Mu'er ate with gusto, which made him greedy too.

"Aye, do you want to eat it? It smells delicious." After saying that, she stuffed one into her mouth and also picked one up with a skewer and wanted to pass it to Gu Shengye's mouth.

However, Gu Shengye had other thoughts. He felt that the little mushroom tasted better in his mouth.

As a result, Xiao Mu'er handed him the food, but his mouth was aimed at the corner of her lips.

Feeling that it was not enough, the man slightly extended the tip of his tongue to taste the taste in the little fungus's mouth.

However, fearing that the young woman in front of him would be shy, he only stayed for a moment.

After parting lips and teeth from her, Gu Shengye was still savoring the flavor, "Baby, you're right, it tastes really good."

There was a triumphant smile on his face.

This made Xiao Mu'er feel shy, "There are so many people here, what are you doing?"

Her shy voice expressed her dissatisfaction with what had just happened, but her face was actually red, so she had to lower her head to hide her shyness.
