Lin Yue didn't stop when the dormitory door was kicked open, and he didn't stop when Gu Li yelled at Jiao Qiqi to get lost. He was calm from beginning to end. He stacked the books on the desk according to size, put them in the carton, and sealed it with tape.
He was about to move out of the dormitory, and he was going to pack his things and move to a rented apartment when the rain stopped.
"Do you know anything?"
With a burst of moisture hitting his face, Gu Li strode towards him.
Lin Yue said without raising his head: "What do you know?"
"If you didn't know, why would you mention my dad before leaving that day?"
"I see it's raining outside, I just wanted to ask, what's the matter?"
Lin Yue moved the sealed box to the corner between the bedside and the outer wall, pulled out the suitcase and carefully folded the shirt on the bed.
"I don't believe it." She held down her shirt to stop him from packing his things.
"Let go."
"Don't let go."
"I told you to let go."
From the moment she met him, she had particularly disliked his way of being calm and confident in everything he did. But today, because of what happened in the cemetery, her dislike had escalated into a rage.
She took the shirt and threw it on the ground: "Can you listen carefully to what I have to say?"
Lin Yue glared at her and reached out to pick it up. Unexpectedly, she stepped on it, and the mud on the bottom of the high heels stained his clean white shirt.
"Stop picking it up, I'll pay you ten new ones."
Gu Li said hysterically: "You can obviously save him, you can obviously save him, why why!"
"It's great to have money. You can destroy other people's things unscrupulously, and then with a wave of your hand, tell others how much it will cost and I'll pay." Lin Yue said, "If you have money, can you buy dead people alive? No, I'm very curious. A person like you who is so bitter, so calculating, and so ambitious, wouldn't it be easier for a person like you to let go and be a real strong woman without the big mountain weighing on her head? Why are you still sad and losing your mind? Looking for someone from me"
Gu Li was stunned by one sentence.
Yes, even in front of her mother who has raised her for so many years, even when she heard the news of her father's death and sat in the hospital all night, she did not lose her calm. Why did she become irritable when she heard the name "Lin Yue"? He will lose control when the time comes
She forced herself to calm down, because the more hysterical she acted, the prouder he became.
"You can finally ridicule me to your heart's content, right? Just like you mocked Tong Nanming in the small auditorium, pointed at Gong Ming's nose and called him a bastard, and proudly watched Ye Chuanping and others fail in the fashion design rookie competition. I'm better than What’s wrong with you being rich? The inheritance I inherited is something you will never earn in your lifetime.”
"Yes, I am poor, not rich, but what does it have to do with you? Do I eat your rice? Do you waste your fabric? On the contrary, I can't investigate other people's family backgrounds behind their backs, and I have to use the gap between rich and poor to compromise. The other party made a fool of himself." Lin Yue continued: "Do you remember a girl named Lin Ting?"
Gu Li's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect him to say this name. Although five or six years had passed, he was still deeply impressed by what happened that day.
"How do you know this name?"
"It's not important." Lin Yue said, "Don't worry, I don't want to delve into whether you are responsible for her death. What I want to say is, if you weren't so cold and mean, and listened to my advice on the birthday party, Instead of taking it as a sarcastic remark, the matter is likely to have another outcome. Well, to take a step back, even if I can do divination, knowing that your father may encounter something unexpected, I am very strong and very excited to ask you to stop him from rushing back. Will you listen to me? No. So you are not qualified to question me."
Gu Li wanted to speak several times, but didn't know what to say.
Lin Yue took out the shirt she had stepped on: "I don't want to see you, please go."
Gu Li didn't know how he got out of the boys' dormitory. When he reacted, his whole body was wet from the rain, his black coat became very heavy, his hair stuck to his face, and water droplets fell from his fingertips.
"Gu Li!"
There was a person standing on the other side of the rain curtain, holding an umbrella and looking at her worriedly.
She smiled at Lin Xiao with a bitter smile.
…
In Nan Xiang's words, she is not worried about Gu Li at all, because others always collapse in an instant, and Miss Gu only collapses in an instant. Whenever the sun rises again, that person hardly wears flat shoes, and her skin is so tender that she doesn't need any concealer at all. A woman who can hold any shade of lipstick, and will use a bossy tone to tell those who try to pity her to stay away.
Four days after Gu Yansheng was buried, Gu Li, Lin Xiao, and Tang Wanru moved out of the girls' dormitory.
The wealthy Miss Gu rented a villa in Jing'an District to house her followers and pets.
Nan Xiang didn't join in the fun. On the day she returned to the dormitory to move things, Lin Yue's cell phone rang twice, but hung up before he could answer it.
He knew that Xicheng was pestering her again, but he didn't care. Firstly, he was negotiating a very important deal. Secondly, it was boring to fight over a woman with jealousy. The more Xicheng pestered her, the more the backlash became. ruthless.
But he went anyway, at the right time.
Nan Xiang walked down the steps with the unfinished painting in his arms. When he saw him standing in the sun with his shirt on, he suddenly threw away the things in his hands, hugged his body and started crying.
"What's wrong"
"It's my fault, it's all my fault. I asked Xicheng to ask Gu Li for money. In fact, those were all angry words, but I didn't expect that he would actually drug Gu Li."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I don't know." Nan Xiang squatted down as he spoke, covering his face with his hands and sobbing.
Lin Yue pulled her up: "Go home first, we will talk about this later."
Nan Xiang didn't say much, and was pulled by him through the campus, which is full of sorrow for senior students.
…
Three more days passed.
On Monday, the sun was shining brightly.
Gu Li put on the formal dress that she had never liked. The reason why she felt wronged was because she had to convene a shareholders' meeting to confirm the fact that she was Gu Yansheng's heir.
When she opened the door and walked into the conference room, the shareholders were all here. Some were reading newspapers, some were playing on their mobile phones, and some were whispering about the future of Shenggu Group after her father died.
This was her first appearance before the board of directors. No one knew her identity. A man over fifty pushed his coffee cup forward and told her: "Give me more coffee."
Because she sat down as the chairman's assistant, he preconceivedly regarded her as a new person recruited by Gu Yansheng during his lifetime.
Gu Li took a deep breath, picked up the coffee pot on the table and poured him a cup of coffee.
In the eyes of others, such an action betrayed her status as a nobody.
The planning manager in his thirties on Gu Li's right said, "Who is that? I'm not used to drinking instant coffee. Please help me go downstairs to buy a latte. Remember to add more sugar."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
She looked around at the executives present, with a joking smile on her lips: "But you may have to wait for a while before I come back, because without me, no effective decision can be reached at today's meeting. Yes. Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Gu Li, I am Gu Yansheng’s daughter, your new executive director and general manager, I don’t sit in the chairman’s seat to show my respect for my father, I hope everyone can understand.”
She suddenly increased her voice: "Can you understand!"
The face of the person who had just ordered her turned dark, and she quickly nodded and apologized.
At this moment, the door of the conference room opened, and Gong Ming and Kitty, holding a folder in hand, walked in from the outside and sat down directly in the chair of the board of directors.
Gu Li became angry all of a sudden. He stood up and stared at Gong Ming closely. He knew that she had just said that she was respecting her father by not taking that seat, but she didn't expect that she would take it for him in the blink of an eye.
"Hello Gu Li, we meet again." Kitty greeted politely, opened the folder in her hand, and announced to the executives present: "Of the 50% shares held by the former chairman, Mr. Gu Yansheng, 20% belongs to the hidden part of the inheritance. At present, Constanly Group has acquired 33% of the shares of Shenggu Group. As the representative of Constanly Group, Mr. Gong Ming wants to complete the purchase of the remaining 9% shares held by some of the executives present today at today’s meeting. acquisition.”
Kitty's words caught Gu Li off guard, and he glared at the man and woman opposite.
In other words, Gong Ming holds 33% of the shares, while she only holds 25%. He is indeed qualified to sit as chairman of the board of directors.
Gong Ming didn't care about her hostile gaze and glanced coldly at the senior executives present. Although he didn't speak, he was already releasing the aura of his long-standing leader.
So Gu Li became a joke.
"Hey, they're all here."
Just as Gong Ming was about to stand up, a person pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.
