Gu Shichu didn't know his sinister thoughts and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I don't want to give in. If I want to fall in love, of course I have to choose someone who can satisfy me everywhere."
Ji Mingtao felt relieved now. It seemed that he didn't have to worry about someone snatching him away while he was away.
But he can't delay too much, he must seize the time to establish a foothold in the capital, so that she can no longer escape from his grasp...
Ji Mingtao made up his mind and persuaded Gu Shichu overtly and covertly to focus on his studies and not to be deceived by the sweet talk of gay men.
Gu Shichu was indeed pursued by many male classmates in school. After all, she was talented and beautiful, and her personality was not unpleasant, so many people wrote her love letters and confessed to her.
But Gu Shichu didn't accept it, naturally because they didn't meet her requirements. She didn't mind dating others, but the problem was that her previous partner was of Ji Mingtao's level, and she was used to seeing high-level people. Standard, how could he look down on a male classmate who was nowhere as good as Ji Mingtao?
If Ji Mingtao wasn't in the capital, she wouldn't mind renewing her relationship with Ji Mingtao.
During the winter vacation, Gu Shichu did not return to the village. It didn't matter where she celebrated the New Year alone. She also took advantage of the New Year to play everywhere, and she was happy to miss Shu. She had no idea of loneliness at all.
After playing for a while, school soon started again. Gu Shichu was thinking about how to make money while going to school.
She couldn't live off the gold bars in the companion space, as doing so would sooner or later make her a pauper.
So she had to earn her own money.
Although the business was not as strict as before, Gu Shichu had to go to school and had no time to do business, so she had to give up the idea.
Since she has no time to do business, she can only use her professional knowledge to make money.
But she majored in economics and had not finished her freshman year, and most of the courses she took in her first year were theoretical and could not be used in reality.
But she quickly thought of something, isn't her English very good? Then just use English to make money.
Gu Shichu is a very action-oriented person. Her first thought is translation. She serves as a tour guide and translator for foreign tourists, translates materials for foreign-funded enterprises, and translates foreign literature...
Although there are not many foreign tourists and foreign-funded enterprises, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Gu Shichu laid the foundation early and left a good reputation among his guests. He slowly accumulated a good reputation and gradually became famous. More and more customers come to her for translation.
Later, as the times became more and more open, Gu Shichu took advantage of the situation and opened her first translation company. She became her own boss and led a group of employees who were fluent in foreign languages. Many of these employees were her classmates and junior students in school. School girl, this has also led to the employment of students from my alma mater, which is an unexpected surprise.
Of course, this is all for the future, and Gu Shichu's career is still in its infancy.
When she was a sophomore, her translation career gradually got on the right track, and she met Ji Mingtao again.
At that time, she was working as a translator for foreign businessmen in a company. When she came out, she saw Ji Mingtao talking to a group of people outside a newly opened shopping mall.
Gu Shichu was a little surprised that he came to the capital again. Before she could get closer, Ji Mingtao also noticed her.
Then Ji Mingtao quickly said something to the group of people, walked up to Gu Shichu, looked at her with bright eyes, and smiled.
Gu Shichu looked at him and couldn't help but laugh too. The two of them just smiled at each other, silly.
In the end, it was Gu Shichu who spoke first: "You came to the capital again? What were you doing with those people just now?"
"We're talking about work." Ji Mingtao said calmly.
"You work here now? Then you are pretty good." Gu Shichu said from the bottom of his heart, because now those educated youth may not be able to find a job back in the city, but Ji Mingtao is an out-and-out rural person. But he has a job in the capital, which is amazing.
Who knew he could be even more amazing? Ji Mingtao said calmly: "I opened this shopping mall."
Gu Shichu's eyes widened in surprise: "Are you telling the truth?" Did she still underestimate him?
Ji Mingtao nodded gently. Seeing Gu Shichu's shocked look, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"I once thought about what you said. You said you couldn't stay in the village all your life. You wanted to see the bigger world outside. Later I also thought about it clearly. I was not willing to stay in a small mountain village all my life, so I also Out."
He spoke in an understatement, as if "coming out" was easy, but Gu Shichu knew that he must have made a lot of efforts and shed a lot of blood and sweat for this without others knowing.
"Then you are really awesome." Gu Shichu praised again.
Ji Mingtao's smile faded slightly, and he said with a hint of hesitation and confusion:
"Actually, I'm not that good. I invested all my money in this mall, and I put all my money into it. If this mall can succeed, then I will be fine; but if the mall fails, then I will become a pauper again. No, I will still be in debt...I borrowed a lot of money from others..."
When Gu Shichu heard this, he couldn't help but worry about him. Doing business would not be smooth sailing. Ji Mingtao would surely rise to the top this time, or he might fail completely.
Thinking that there was always some friendship between the two, she asked with concern:
"Then you must be under a lot of pressure, right? If there is anything I can do to help, just say it and I will do my best to help you."
When Ji Mingtao heard what she said, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stopped being polite to her:
"Then I just said it directly? I invested all my money in the shopping mall, and now I have no money to rent a house or eat."
"Then let me lend you some money? How much do you want to borrow?" Gu Shichu thought he was going to borrow money, so he asked immediately.
Ji Mingtao choked and said quickly: "No, no, I want to ask you, are there any free rooms in the house you rent? I stay in the mall all day and don't have time to look for another house."
Gu Shichu was stunned and asked, "Then where have you been living during this time?"
"I just live in the office in the shopping mall, so I can make do." Ji Mingtao replied.
Gu Shichu immediately looked at him with pity in his eyes. Remembering that the house where he lived did have an empty room, he said:
"You work too hard. Then I'll take you in out of kindness."
After hearing this, Ji Mingtao tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth that wanted to raise, suppressed his triumphant smile, and replaced it with gratitude to Gu Shichu:
"Then I won't thank you enough. From now on, you will get a 50% discount when you come to my shopping mall."
"With such a low discount, won't you lose money?" Gu Shichu asked him.
"No, you're the only one with a 50% discount. You can't lose anything." Ji Mingtao replied, still thinking that when you become the boss's wife, it will be completely free.
