Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl
Chapter 354 Am I worthy?
Chang'an Restaurant is quite famous. Xue Rui has been there several times. It has strong local culinary characteristics.
During the National Day holiday, there was a constant stream of people coming to Chang'an Restaurant for dinner, most of whom were from other places.
Xue Rui held Gu Muxue's hand and followed behind several elders, while Lin Ruoxi followed obediently behind Xue Rui carrying her bag. Beautiful women always attract diners to look at them more sideways, as if they would be in a better mood while eating.
"Mu Xue, I promise I won't smoke anymore." Xue Rui stretched out a few fingers towards the sky.
"Not even alcohol!" Gu Muxue said viciously.
"Okay." Xue Rui nodded repeatedly.
In fact, he only smokes a few cigarettes a year. The little girl won't take his cigarettes away, but she will beg him with pitiful eyes, and he can't stand it for long.
If the little girl threatened him, he wouldn't be able to touch cigarettes or alcohol...
However, if I can hold one on each side in the future, this sacrifice will be worth it.
"Hmph, that's more like it." Gu Muxue's mouth corners slightly raised.
……
Guo Ziyan got rid of the brief loss just now. He found that both the elders in front of him and Xue Rui were in pairs, only he and Lin Ruoxi were alone.
"Student Lin Ruoxi, many historical celebrities have come here to eat." Guo Ziyan said as he took a big step forward and walked side by side with Lin Ruoxi.
"It's so high..." Guo Ziyan was shocked. He saw that Lin Ruoxi was looking up.
However, he felt that he and Lin Ruoxi were quite compatible. After all, a man with his temperament would always have a tall beauty by his side.
Lin Ruoxi glanced at Guo Ziyan coldly, and she took a few steps towards Xue Rui.
Guo Ziyan's eyes twitched. Lin Ruoxi seemed to be avoiding him...
After entering the private room, Guo Wei pulled Gu Qingshan to sit down and said in a joking tone: "It's Xiao Guo's fault for not hosting you well today. He made the leader wait at the door for so long. The dishes have already been ordered."
“It’s my fault for not informing you in advance. It’s not easy to book this restaurant, right?” Gu Qingshan said with a smile.
“I’m not busy. No matter how big the matter is, it’s not as important as having dinner with the boss.” Guo Wei poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingshan: “After so many years, you seem to never age. You’re still so handsome.”
“Old Guo, don’t try that on me.” Gu Qingshan scolded with a smile.
Guo Ziyan felt like he was at home at this point, and he said, "Uncle Gu, my dad works in the cultural tourism department, so booking a hotel is no big deal."
The number of people who came to his house to give gifts is countless. Because of his father, those relatives made a lot of money by opening shops in the scenic area. They were all very respectful to him, and this is also what he is most proud of.
Xue Rui covered his face helplessly. If you want to show off secretly, don’t bring your father with you. Look at your father’s face now.
"Zi Yan, your Uncle Gu helped our family a lot in the past. Don't you remember anything I told you about it?" Guo Wei said with a dark face.
“Old Guo, why are you telling these things to the kids?” Gu Qingshan sighed.
Guo Ziyan was stunned, how could he remember so many family details, but the more he looked at Gu Qingshan, the more he felt that he looked familiar...
Xue Rui hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Uncle Guo, are you from the cultural and tourism department? Chang'an is a key tourist city. Even if you are a leader, you have to work overtime during the National Day, right? You skipped work?"
Xue Rui chose to change the topic to work. Firstly, it was not off-topic, and secondly, it also indirectly proved Guo Wei's attitude towards the appointment.
Guo Wei's complexion improved a lot. He smiled faintly and said, "I asked for a few days off."
"Uncle Gu and Uncle Guo are so kind. I don't know if I will have such a good friend twenty years later." Xue Rui said with emotion.
Guo Wei couldn't help but look at Xue Rui again, thinking that this young man is really good at talking.
"Sit down."
Gu Qingshan nodded and smiled, then waved his hand to signal Xue Rui to sit next to him.
"Xiao Lin." Xue Rui winked at Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi hurriedly took out two packs of Hetianxia from her bag, unpacked them neatly and placed them in front of the two elders: "Hello uncle, my name is Lin Ruoxi, Boss Xue's secretary and driver."
After finishing everything, she quietly threw a pack of cigarettes to Guo Ziyan.
When Lin Ruoxi found out that Gu Muxue crushed the cigarette box, Guo Ziyan's reaction was the biggest, and Xue Rui never bought hard Zhonghua...
She felt very embarrassed and now compensated Guo Ziyan with a pack of cigarettes.
Guo Ziyan's eyes widened instantly and he pointed at himself in disbelief.
"This is compensation to you..." Lin Ruoxi explained in a low voice.
When Guo Ziyan saw Lin Ruoxi nod, he was confused. This was the feeling of being moved!
The feeling of having a beautiful woman secretly give you cigarettes is better than picking up money!
"I'm sorry." Lin Ruoxi said again, but Guo Ziyan didn't seem to hear it...
Gu Qingshan glanced at Xue Rui. He had been interested in Lin Ruoxi for a long time. She was so beautiful and her temperament was not inferior to that of his daughter who he had spent a lot of money to educate.
Doesn't Xue Rui have any other ideas when he chooses such a beautiful secretary?
But just now I saw Lin Ruoxi quickly take out the tin foil from the cigarette box, as if she often does this kind of work...
But what Gu Qingshan didn't know was that Xue Rui had Lin Ruoxi open a pack of cigarettes beforehand to practice with, so there were probably quite a few opened cigarettes in his car.
Guo Wei lit a cigarette, looked at his son again, and turned his head away with disgust on his face.
Xue Rui had such self-control at such a young age that he was not moved by beauty. He treated Lin Ruoxi as his secretary and was even too lazy to look at her.
But what about his son?
Staring at someone else's secretary in front of so many people with your eyes almost popping out, isn't that embarrassing?
Guo Wei coughed twice: "Ahem! Xue Rui, are you still in college? What do you need a secretary for?"
Guo Ziyan came back to his senses immediately. He turned to look at Xue Rui: "Yeah, I'm curious about this question too."
Gu Qingshan drank a sip of tea calmly. He was also very concerned about this issue.
Xue Rui had already prepared his words. He sighed softly at this moment:
"Ah~ It's fate. When I was in high school, I found that Xiaolin was going to drop out of school to work. I saw that she had good grades, so I funded some of her tuition so that she could finish college."
"Who would have thought that she came to Chang'an with me to study, and I was short of manpower for my business, so I asked her to drive for me temporarily."
Lin Ruoxi had a smile in her eyes, and Xue Rui was talking about her and Xue Rui's past.
And she loved the story.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Xue Rui and said, “Well, I have to work for my boss to pay him back.”
Gu Qingshan remembered that he saw men's shampoo at Gu Muxue's place yesterday, so he took it out and asked, wanting to find out whether Xue Rui had secretly visited his daughter.
But Lin Ruoxi said it was hers and explained to him that “men’s shampoo is cheap.”
In fact, for Gu Muxue's safety, Gu Qingshan had of course investigated Lin Ruoxi, his roommate.
An orphan, from a poor family...
The college entrance examination score was very high, but he came to Chang'an to study. This is right. Guo Wei gave Lin Ruoxi a thumbs up and praised her sincerely: "It's rare to know how to repay kindness."
Lin Ruoxi shook her head repeatedly: “No, Xue Rui is a rare talent.”
It was Xue Rui who changed her life. In Lin Ruoxi's heart, there is no one better than Xue Rui.
Xue Rui nodded. He was afraid that Lin Ruoxi would express her feelings, which would be the end of her. He said casually, "Xiao Lin, you should study hard. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Finish your master's degree and then work."
Lin Ruoxi blinked blankly. Was Xue Rui asking her to take the postgraduate entrance examination?
Gu Muxue curled her lips. She realized that what Xue Rui said just now seemed to be true. As for Lin Ruoxi's way of repaying her gratitude, it was to give everything to Xue Rui...
But she didn't want everyone to discuss Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi's problems. She was afraid of being exposed, so she changed the subject:
"Uncle Guo, are you and my parents classmates?"
Guo Wei looked nostalgic: "I am one year older than them, but Lao Gu and I met on the train..."
Xue Rui almost spit out a mouthful of tea. Were all college students in that era so fierce?
"Uncle Guo, you got married...quite early." Xue Rui said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
The corner of Guo Wei's mouth twitched. He knew someone would have this reaction.
"People of your generation have never heard of child marriage, right?" Guo Wei sighed.
This explanation is the simplest. He couldn't say that all his friends in the village were married at that time, and he was forced to get married by his parents, right?
He didn't even dare talk to female classmates in college...because he had a breastfeeding baby at home.
Until one day on a train, when he habitually showed off his son's photo to others, he learned that the young-looking Gu Qingshan was also a "future father". Because they had many common topics, the two became close friends.
Soon after Guo Wei finished speaking, the taciturn woman at the side spoke up: "I have little education and am two years older than Guo Wei. I am not worthy of Guo Wei. I can only wash clothes, cook and take care of children..."
Zhao Lizhen said softly: "Sister-in-law, Lao Guo used to praise you in front of us."
"Really? He never told me..."
……
Xue Rui suddenly felt a little sour. Guo Wei is also a winner in life.
Guo Wei said: "In short, it was for this reason that Lao Gu and I had a good relationship. Moreover, martial arts novels were popular at that time, and Lao Gu and I said that if we had a son, we would become sworn brothers, and if we had a daughter..."
Gu Qingshan interrupted, “Stop, I know you gave birth to a son, I definitely won’t agree.”
"Haha, Uncle Guo, you have made a calculation." Xue Rui said with a smile.
Guo Ziyan widened his eyes in disbelief. He had also read Jin Yong!
The sentence that was interrupted must be "to become husband and wife".
What a pity, his father was not very good back then!
"Dad, why didn't you take me to visit Uncle Gu's house before?" Guo Ziyan asked.
Guo Wei waved his hands and said, "I took you there several times when you were little, but later you cried and said Hedong was too far away and insisted on buying some Ultraman game. I never took you there again after that."
Guo Ziyan: “…”
He really wanted to go back to his childhood and slap himself hard twice!
If he knew that the Gu family had such a beautiful daughter, he would crawl to the other side of the Yellow River to take a look at her even if he had to!
Ultraman Seven? Who is he? I don't know him at all.
It’s a pity that time cannot be reversed and Gu Muxue is already taken.
But it wasn't that hard for him to accept, because there was a girl next to him;
Lin Ruoxi is not only as pretty as Gu Muxue, but she is also a kind girl who knows how to repay kindness...
I just gave him a pack of cigarettes. Do you have a good impression of him?
As long as he pays off Lin Ruoxi's debts and lets her be his secretary, wouldn't there be more opportunities?
After everyone chatted for a while, the door of the private room was opened by the waiter.
"Sorry for the long wait, this is our restaurant's signature dish, gourd chicken..."
After all the dishes were served, everyone ate and chatted.
Xue Rui sat between Gu Muxue and Gu Qingshan, which made him a little unhappy. His dream of having one in each hand had not yet come true...
Xue Rui initially thought that Gu Qingshan was trying to keep an eye on him, but before long, Xue Rui discovered that Gu Qingshan was actually doing it for his own good...
“Lao Guo, Xue Rui is the son of my childhood friend. He is quite capable. When he was in high school, he created a game without telling his family. During the summer vacation, he went to Shenzhen to set up an electronics factory. Now I don’t know what he is doing in Chang’an…” Gu Qingshan introduced.
Guo Wei showed a meaningful smile. Gu Qingshan's daughter was here, so why let Xue Rui, an outsider, come over?
Although today was just a family dinner, they were all people within the system. How could he not understand that this was meant to help Xue Rui?
After all, he still has resources in Chang'an.
Guo Wei hesitated for a moment, handed a business card to Xue Rui and Gu Muxue respectively, and said with a smile: "You didn't even ask your family for money? You are capable."
He was very satisfied with Xue Rui's work, whether it was the subordinate's behavior of opening the package when delivering cigarettes, or his words of smoothing things over before. It was very comfortable to get along with such a person, which was also the reason why Gu Qingshan introduced him to him.
Even if someone helps you, it depends on whether you have enough ability.
Xue Rui is obviously qualified, and he is also a good person, as can be seen from the grateful girls around him.
Xue Rui quickly stood up and took it with both hands. This was a business card with the national emblem...
After Xue Rui handed one to Gu Muxue, he took out his wallet and placed Guo Wei's business card in the most conspicuous place. After carefully putting it away, he said, "Uncle Guo, you are too kind. It's just a small matter."
He wanted to ask his family for start-up capital, and Xue Jianfeng had to give it to him!
Of course, how can you make games without money?
His start-up capital came from Gu Muxue's New Year's money...
I just don’t know if Gu Qingshan knows about this?
He ate and took things, and finally abducted the girl...
Xue Rui now thinks that if he has a daughter in the future and meets a man like him who wants to kidnap his daughter, he will want to pick up a bench and jump up to break the man's three legs!
But Gu Qingshan also introduced him to some classmates today and gave him some resources...
Xue Rui had to admit that he was not as generous as Gu Qingshan.
Now when he thought about his two-timing, his heart was trembling...
In the past few years, Gu Qingshan not only did not put obstacles between him and Gu Muxue, but even helped him in his career. If one day his affair with Lin Ruoxi was discovered...
Not to mention that he has a guilty conscience, won't he be able to beat him to death when the time comes?
Thinking of this, Xue Rui's back became wet.
Gu Qingshan gently turned the turntable, rolled up his white shirt sleeves and pulled off a drumstick of the "Hulu Chicken". Xue Rui hurriedly made way when he saw this, thinking that Gu Qingshan must have pulled the drumstick for his own daughter.
However, what Xue Rui didn't expect was that the chicken leg actually fell into his plate!
Gu Qingshan said in a gentle tone: "Xiao Rui, try it quickly."
"Gudong~"
Xue Rui swallowed nervously. Isn't this wrong?
For me?
Am I worthy?
Xue Rui felt more and more unsure. For a moment, he even thought that the chicken leg was poisoned!
Gu Muxue secretly exchanged a glance with her mother and saw a smile in her other’s eyes. Both she and her mother knew what Gu Qingshan meant.
Old Gu wanted to recruit Xue Rui as his son-in-law, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it, and she didn't listen to Old Gu's instructions.
Therefore, Lao Gu could only slowly show his kindness to Xue Rui until one day he could invite Xue Rui to be his son-in-law. (End of this chapter)
