The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 312 The Beginning of All Collapse (Review)

August, Puxi, Sinan Mansion.

"Oh! What a rare guest! It's rare for Boss Jian to come to visit us."

In the evening, at Gu Li's invitation to a dinner, Jian Xi came to Gu Li's house for the first time in recent months.

This was not his first time to come to Sinan Mansion. Although he did not come when Gu Li moved at the end of last year, he still came to Gu Li's house after returning from a business trip after the Chinese New Year.

However, as the company became increasingly busy, he could not spare much time to come over.

Therefore, when he visited her again, he could not avoid being teased by Queen Gu.

Lin Xiao, who had come over a long time ago, came out from behind Gu Li with a smile, took Jian Xi's arm and said with a smile: "Gu Li, I've already said that Jian Xi is very busy this year and has only recently been free. Gu Li, please don't talk about him."

"Alright, alright, that's all I said. Do you really need to protect your husband like that?"

Gu Li rolled her eyes at her best friend who valued women over friendship, and told Jian Xi to sit down quickly.

Compared with the previous dinner, there were two more men at Gu Li's house this time, one was Gu Li's boyfriend Gu Yuan, and the other was Gu Li's younger brother Gu Zhun.

When Jian Xi first met Gu Zhun, she got goosebumps, because this thing only likes men!
He is not discriminating against homosexuals. After all, he is an open-minded person. He used to be able to become a male best friend in order to pick up girls. He even shouted out the slogan of a childless and dog-loving man, which is enough to show how open-minded and correct he is.

However, the Gu Zhun in front of him is somewhat unnatural. Not only is he a homosexual, but in the original drama, his homosexual partner is Gu Li's cousin.

My cousin is having an affair with my younger brother, homosexuality plus...incest?

Although there is no blood relationship, it is still ethically unacceptable.

I don’t know if there was something wrong with the Gu family’s ancestral tomb, it’s full of... weird stuff.

Of course, Jian Xi was just thinking about it in his mind and didn't say it directly. At the moment, several people gathered together to eat, drink and chat, and he didn't deliberately puncture the other party's tires.

It is worth mentioning that Gu Zhun’s boyfriend, who is Gu Li’s cousin, was the one whom Gu Li and her friends accidentally met walking on the catwalk when they went to Rome in the original drama. Later, he followed Gu Li back. But now due to a series of changes, Gu Li did not go to Rome and did not meet her cousin, so Gu Zhun did not get his destined marriage.

Thinking of this, Jian Xi felt that the ancestors of the old Gu family should kowtow to him in the underworld, and he also felt that he might have broken up a good marriage... What a sin!
"Jian Xi has been very busy these past few months. My mom said your company is taking off explosively."

Gu Yuan, who was sitting next to Gu Li, had an envious tone in his voice. Although he was a rich second-generation and also held shares in Hongye Media, it now seemed that he was simply the one being carried away.

I have never really experienced the feeling of starting a business from zero to one. I can only lie in a luxurious villa every day and watch the cold numbers in my bank card continue to rise.

Life is boring.

Jian Xi picked up the shrimp meat that Lin Xiao had peeled for her and ate it, then said with a smile, "It's okay, but I'm really tired."

"Oh, I can't even get tired even if I want to!"

Gu Yuan sighed, and Gu Li's expression also looked a little unnatural.

Gu Yuan is a rich second-generation who does his share of work under Ye Chuanping every day waiting to take over. Gu Li is even more miserable. She originally thought that she would be able to show her talents after joining "ME", but things are completely different from what she expected.

Not only has "ME" not expanded outward, it has even begun to narrow its business scope. Except for its traditional business of fashion magazines, it has basically cut all other businesses that can be cut.

After Gu Li went there, he found out that he, the financial director, was just a figurehead. The title and status were impressive, but he didn't have much actual power.

Reality is different from TV dramas. It is not so easy to receive and control power. Just because you get a certain position does not mean you can get the corresponding rights as a matter of course, let alone an executive like her who was suddenly parachuted in after an acquisition.

At the beginning, Gong Ming might have really wanted Gu Li to be a good financial director, so Gu Li's work went smoothly at that time.

But it wasn't long before Gu Li found himself hitting a wall.

Gong Ming's attitude is unclear, and his subordinates also begin to pretend to obey. The workplace is different from GC, but they have many things in common. After all, wherever there are people, there will be struggles, not to mention "ME" which is a company with some status in the fashion industry of Shanghai.

The source of power cannot be obtained by just relying on a simple position. When Gu Li KJ came here, she seemed like a rootless duckweed. She used to be the eldest daughter of the Gu family. After her father's death, she temporarily served as the chairman of the board of directors in name only for a period of time. That was because she relied on her father's residual prestige. In addition, the situation was unclear, which was why other people in Shenggu were still waiting and watching.

As a result, she soon joined "ME" as the financial director. Suddenly entering such a company with a mature and stable operating system, Gu Li soon found that the situation was not what she had imagined. In short, although it seemed glorious on the surface, it was actually a bit depressing.

It was only later that she realized that power had to be seized by herself!

Unfortunately...she can't.

This is also one of the reasons why she has always been obsessed with restoring the old dynasty... uh, taking back Shenggu.

What's even more regrettable is that she hasn't noticed any opportunities in the past six months.

It’s still easier to be a simple rich second generation.

So when Gu Li heard Jian Xi say that he was tired, he, who now drank so much coffee in the company that his heart began to feel bitter, felt that the other party was being a bit Versailles.

"Come on, in just one year, no, it should be less than a year, you have almost caught up with what my family has accumulated over so many years. If this is tiring, I would rather die of exhaustion!"

Although Gu Li felt bitter and astringent in his heart, he still spoke with emotion.

Over the past six months, she had also learned about the development of Jianxi Company from her best friends and boyfriend. Although she never said anything, it was impossible for her not to be shocked.

I didn’t expect that a friend I’ve known for so many years would only show his true strength after graduation.

It made her feel like the other person was a different person.

Hearing this, Jian Xi laughed and said, "What are you doing? Is the theme of today's dinner party to flatter me? I'm tired of hearing that!"

After a pause, Jian Xi continued, "If you say anything more, you are exaggerating. I have only just started, not even a fraction of what you have. Besides, the recognition of you two siblings means that your strength has reached a new level, right?"

Jian Xi is not being modest. Even if he had made sufficient preparations and plans beforehand, the valuation of Hongye Media was only in the tens of millions. After all, it had not been that long, and it was just a valuation. To put it bluntly, the value of tens of millions was just empty talk.

This industry is like this, there is no fixed thing that can actually be priced, and it is extremely affected by market views. In other words, the outlet, now that the Internet celebrity economy has become the outlet, MCNs like Hongye Media will naturally be blown up by the outlet, and the higher it is blown, the higher the valuation will also rise. This is because he uses money to exchange for time, and he spent a lot of money in the early stage to catch up.

And he has to continue to spend money. From this point of view alone, he has not made a lot of money at the moment. Of course, if he wants to cash out now, he will naturally make money, but how can such behavior be in line with his character.

So what Jian Xi said was not modesty. He really couldn't even catch up with a fraction of Gu Yiyuan's wealth now.

But at this time, Gu Yiyuan's face looked a little unhappy again.

Nan Xiang, who was sitting opposite Jian Xi, saw this and asked, "What's wrong, Gu Li? Don't you have an appetite?"

Well... the tablecloth for today's dinner is a little short, so she can't add extra food to her best friend's man under the table like she did last time, uh, work overtime, but it doesn't matter, things are different now, and now that she has eaten her best friend's man, she is not in a hurry.

After hearing Nan Xiang's words, Gu Li thought about it and said unhappily, "Don't even mention going up a level. An abandoned factory, an old horse farm, and a broken woodland outside the outer ring road. This is the hidden legacy my brother brought back. How much can it be worth? It's not a gold mine!"

Gu Zhun, who was sitting next to Gu Li, also had a rather unhappy expression on his face. He had previously thought that the things left by his father were very valuable, but after comparing them with his elder sister, the siblings could only helplessly curse, "Dad is such a jerk."

These things are just depressing to look at, except that they have to rack their brains to raise the price a little when selling them.

Is this little money for the land what they lack?
I had thought that the inheritance my father had hidden must be very valuable, maybe a gold mine somewhere, but it turned out to be just a few shabby things.

"That's not the case. At least, there's still the horse named Gode in the stable."

At this time, Tang Wanru, who was stuffing a braised pig's trotter into her mouth, interrupted.

Not long ago, in order to see if the inheritance left by his father was really so useless, Gu Zhun and Tang Wanru went to investigate. There were only a few workers in the factory, one horse in the horse farm, and a broken wooden house in the forest farm...

It was this trip that made Gu Li completely give up.

Hearing Tang Wanru mention it again, Gu Li was so angry that she said viciously: "Tang Wanru, if you mention that horse again, I will throw you into the stable and breed with that horse!"

Tang Wanru closed her mouth at the right time and continued to gnaw on her pig's trotter, but after only two bites she muttered again: "Gao De seems to be a mare, right?"

"..."

Looking at the anger on Gu Li's face and Tang Wanru's shameless look, the dining table was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

When the dinner was about to end, Jian Xi thought for a moment and suddenly laughed: "I heard from Lin Xiao that the factory was a metallurgical factory. Maybe your father really left a gold mine for you?"

"Haha, that was probably left in a dream."

Gu Li curled her lips. She didn't believe that her father had the ability to leave her a gold mine.

Seeing Gu Li like this, Jian Xi smiled. He had already given a reminder, and it just depended on when Gu Li could really discover the gold mine.

The metallurgical plant is refining gold sand from minerals. The English name of the horse named Gode is "gold". As for the wooden house, the basement contains the refined gold sand worth 600 million.

Old Man Gu was really a brave man. He secretly found a gold mine and made such a fortune. No wonder he died so miserably.

"Lin Xiao, I'll be leaving first. There are things waiting for me at the company."

After Jian Xi finished eating the shrimps that his girlfriend had peeled for him, he leaned forward with a smile and bit her ear.

Lin Xiao, who was ticklish, twisted her neck. She felt a little embarrassed in front of so many people, so she waved her hand in a pretentious manner: "Go ahead, go ahead. You don't need to sleep with me tonight!"

Since Jianxi became busy in the past six months, Lin Xiao often went to Pudong to accompany him. Usually, Lin Xiao would not go there only after Lin Quan said in the WeChat group that he had gone to his house.

Half a year ago, this bastard drank with them under the pretext of confessing the crime, but she didn't get the answers she wanted to know. In the middle of the night, she woke up and wanted to find some water, but when she turned on the light, she saw the bastard and the mistress right next to her...

This pair of dogs is simply shameless, brazen, shameless, and shameless...

What’s even more infuriating is that she was awake but not completely awake at the time. After being hugged and kissed by the bastard for a few times, she was confused, half-hearted, and shy. She sternly refused but it didn’t work...

Of course, this was her statement afterwards. According to the dog man's correction, she woke up at the beginning, but didn't make a sound and shrank into the quilt. He just kissed her tentatively, and her tongue, hands, feet and other things entangled with him...

According to another person involved, Lin Quan, who also claimed that her stern refusal was in vain and therefore she gave in half-heartedly, at the time of the incident, no, during the incident, the shameless Lin Xiao secretly reached out his hand under the quilt and pinched her with such force that her hands were blue.

In short, the three parties each have their own story, but what needs to be known is that Lin Xiao's sleeping posture has never been very good. When she slept with Jian Xi before, she would always cling to her boyfriend like an octopus. Later, when she slept with Lin Quan, her body would always rest on her love rival's stomach. No matter whose story was true that night, when the dog man summarized it in the end, he would especially emphasize that before turning on the light, Lin Xiao either participated in part while dreaming or participated in part while pretending to sleep. Moreover, from beginning to end, half of Lin Xiao's body never left the battlefield actively or passively...

So after that night, the two girls never took the initiative to go to Jian Xi's house at the same time again. Even if they were passively, uh, met at Jian Xi's house by accident, they never drank together again.

When they went to bed at night, they basically slept in one room each. As for whether the men took turns breaking into the house to steal sex in the middle of the night, no one ever mentioned what happened the next day.

However, what makes Lin Xiao feel more comfortable now is that Lin Quan has to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination this year and does not have much time to come to Pudong, so most of the time it is just her and Jian Xi enjoying their own world.

As for the fact that this bastard sometimes goes to Puxi to accompany his mistress... She happens to be reuniting with her girlfriends, so she just pretends not to know about this.

And about her best friend Nan Xiang, because of that bastard’s “frank disclosure” that night, she no longer has to be suspicious every day, and she is really afraid that she will be blamed for instigating her boyfriend to sleep with her best friend.

I can only keep my doubts deep in my heart. My best friend treats me like a boss lady, so I can’t always treat my best friend like a vixen!

So at this moment, twenty minutes after Jian Xi left, Nan Xiang said, "Gu Li, my mother asked me to go home, so I won't rest here tonight."

Nan Xiang actually spent quite a lot of time living at Gu Li's place in the past six months. It was because she had been staying at Gu Li's house for a long time and getting along with everyone as usual that people gradually stopped suspecting that she was a bitch who seduced her bestie's man.

Similarly, doubts can only be hidden in one's heart, and no one can just tear each other apart before seeing it with one's own eyes.

So, 20 minutes after Nan Xiang left the villa with the mentality of "Boss, I'm out", Tang Wanru, who was doing some dumbbell lifting after dinner, took out her phone and asked curiously, "I asked Wei Hai to help me develop a new fitness plan. Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

After a pause, she threw down the dumbbells and said to Gu Li, who was frowning and thinking about her next plan, and Lin Xiao, who was chatting with her future mother-in-law on her phone, "I'll go pick up Wei Hai."
