Chapter 2 Gu Zhe's Tip of the Iceberg

After successfully alleviating Lu Youyou's parents' wariness, Gu Zhe chatted with them for a few more words, which could be considered as improving their understanding of each other. The atmosphere in the living room further eased.

Gu Zhe was originally mentally prepared to answer some questions about his career, but what surprised him was that the Lu family never asked about those things. At most, they just asked some academic information, what major he studied and what direction he was studying.

After chatting for a while, it was almost time for lunch to order, Zhu Yingying was very concerned about the local proposal: "Xiao Gu, go and call Youyou out for dinner."

I didn't say anything else, but I just gave everyone a face.

Of course, Zhu Yingying knew that her daughter was just embarrassed because she suddenly learned that "the boy around her has been thinking about her for so many years". The impact was too great and she didn't know how to face it.

But there is no need to say such words, just see through and not say them out loud.

Gu Zhe politely agreed, turned around and went to Lu Youyou's bedroom, tidied up his tie before knocking on the door.

"Come in." Lu Youyou's voice came from the house, and he did not intend to open the door for him in person.

Gu Zhe turned the door and entered, and saw Lu Youyou nestling on the sofa with a big pillow in his arms. The TV opposite was on, but it was on. It was obvious that he was not watching it seriously at all, and he didn't even adjust the channel.

"It's too sudden? Are you embarrassed?" Gu Zhe gently gave a step.

Lu Youyou wanted to complain a few words first, but her worry made her have no time to care about those struggles of intention. She took a deep breath and the words turned to her mouth: "My parents didn't make things difficult for you, right? I must be quite satisfied with your performance."

"You guessed it, your parents probably won't think I have ulterior motives." Gu Zhe enlightened warmly.

He had the feeling of Lu Youyou so many years ago. At that time, Lu Jinming had just started his business for two or three years, and probably wasn't even a millionaire yet. How could Gu Che have liked the money of the Lu family? He must have a good impression of Lu Youyou himself.

Friends of poor and humbleness are particularly pure in this regard.

Lu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, just as her parents would not object. Then she was in the mood to settle the score slowly with Gu Zhe.

She couldn't help but stretched out her fist and slapped Gu Zhe a few times: "You lied to me so miserably! You actually thought about me so many years ago! You pretended to be so indifferent! I thought you were just honest and unconscious back then!

I fell in love with you secretly when I was in the second and third grades of junior high school. At that time, you helped me so much, taking me over and answering questions every day. I took care of me if I didn’t know anything. To be honest, I was quite touched.

But later I found that you had no reaction, had no other actions, and couldn't understand the hints. I also passed the rebellious period and gradually stopped those thoughts.

After I arrived in high school, I had no feelings for you at all, and I felt that it was too familiar with you and was difficult to start. But after not thinking about you, I found that I had no motivation to explore other boys.

At that time, I thought: Then study hard, it doesn’t matter if I gain weight. Thinking that after I get to college, I will clean myself up to a perfect state, and maybe I will meet the handsome guy I like.

Unexpectedly, after graduation, you suddenly became enlightened, and I couldn’t see through it. It’s fate that can regain freshness to my old friends.”

Gu Zhe sat down with her and gently hugged the girl's shoulder: "To be honest, did you have any hints when you were in junior high school? I really didn't understand. At that time, the teacher said about early love like a beast. How dare I think about it? Good feelings are just good feelings.

But after I arrived in high school, I really felt that my future was uncertain and I didn’t know where I would go in the future, so I didn’t dare to face it. Fortunately, everything has passed, and now I can give you a certain future, so I’m here.”

Lu Youyou shook her shoulders, threw Gu Zhe's hand away, and finally said coquettishly: "Since it's all like this, let's just forget it. However, you escaped and confessed. I'm really unwilling to accept that you were attacked by you."

"It's not too late to make up for it now, although the occasion is not very formal." Gu Zhe stood up very responsibly, walked to the opposite side of Lu Youyou, bent down and lowered his body, and took out the box with diamond earrings in his pocket.

"Youyou, although before yesterday, you said that you asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend and help you block the children of your dad's partner family during the Chinese New Year.

But now I formally ask you to be my girlfriend. If you accept it, I will help you put it on."

Lu Youyou snorted and turned her face away.

"Is this agreed? Then I'm not polite." Gu Zhe said, then stepped forward and lifted up Lu Youyou's long hair and wanted to wear earrings for her.

Lu Youyou slapped the back of his hand: "You are unscrupulous, although you are not fickle, you don't care about the details of my life at all. You will also improve this aspect in the future! Otherwise I will be angry at any time!"

Gu Zhe was stunned: "So what's wrong."

Lu Youyou lifted her hair and her eyes were red: "You are macho. You don't care if I've ever pierced my ears before buying things. Fortunately, when you were staying in a hotel the night before, I discovered you sneaked out to buy things.

When I checked out the next day, I peeked at your receipt and found out that you bought earrings! I quickly went out to get my ear pierced while I was resting during the day! It hurt a long time! You didn’t even see girls hitting them before when you bought things!”

Only then did Gu Che realize that he was indeed preconceived. Of course, all adult and beautiful girls had pierced their ears, even good girls. But they were reborn, and Lu Youyou had just arrived in college for a semester, so how could he use the common sense of his previous life?

I have to say that Gu Zhe has always been rough in terms of straight men. He can talk about friendship with girls, and handle big things very well. But it is still difficult for him to be a good man to be a warm man.

Lu Youyou felt guilty when he saw him, and then he felt a little better: "Okay, forgive you, I'm not unreasonable. I also want boys to be honest and dedicated to me, and I also want him to understand all kinds of tricks to please girls. How could it be possible? I thought it was for you once yesterday."

Gu Zhe felt relieved: "That's good, I'll pretend you agreed and I'll put it on for you."

After some trouble, Gu Zhe knew that Lu Youyou had just confessed her love today and was not mentally prepared enough, so he should not take away her first kiss.

So while taking advantage of the opportunity to wear earrings for Lu Youyou, he kissed the earlobe a few times, which was considered as a plea to relieve pain and disinfection.

Lu Youyou's face turned red, and her whole body suddenly became stiff and soft. She gritted her teeth and did not resist, so she just kissed her earlobe to confirm the relationship.

The two of them didn't dare to delay in the house for too long, for fear of being misunderstood by others and doing something else. They delayed for less than ten minutes before going downstairs to have dinner.

Lu Youyou's mood had not fully recovered, and she was still blushing and her legs were weak. Gu Zhe had to support her waist downstairs so that she would not fall down.

Lu Youyou returned to the dining table and sat down. He looked at her parents with a very detailed look and quickly explained:

"Mom, this is a birthday gift from Ah Che to give me. Earrings, do you think it's okay? We just wore it in the room. I was not used to piercing my ears for the first time, so I wear it slowly."

Of course, Zhu Yingying praised the earrings very politely. Anyway, as long as her daughter likes them, she also signaled that she could start eating.

The maid served all the dishes, but Gu Zhe didn't see him, so he picked up whatever he wanted.

The dishes on the table are very light, and there is no meat oil at all. After all, Lu Jinming wants to nourish the liver and must try his best to avoid challenging the pressure of bile secretion in the liver. (Bile is secreted by the liver, and the gallbladder is just the storage organ of bile)

Lu Jinming had no appetite. He just drank a few sips of the soup and put down the spoon first, and then carefully observed his daughter's earrings. He was also a straight man and had no aesthetic taste for women's jewelry, so he only looked at the size of diamonds and the materials used.

After a glance, he immediately realized that the earrings were not cheap either, and each pendant was probably at least one carat. Although it was nothing in the Lu family, Gu Zhe gave such a birthday gift, but it was a bit over.

He casually educated his daughter: "Youyou, forget it this time, just treat it as you confirm your relationship. There is no need for birthday gifts like this, just be fine if you have the intention."

This made Lu Youyou a little surprised. She thought that when Gu Zhe was chatting with his parents alone downstairs, he had already said that his career had achieved, and his parents should know that this little money was nothing.

She quickly said, "Dad, don't worry about this. He is the temper of not taking advantage of others. I gave him a watch and clothes before, but he was uneasy if he didn't give him some politeness."

Lu Jinming's face was stern: "That's the wrong thing first. I've told you how many times you have told me, don't exchange too expensive gifts between friends. Isn't this adding burden to others? We should keep a low profile."

Lu Youyou pouted: "I'm very careful with others, but this level is really nothing for Ah Che. Before he came back yesterday, he had just negotiated technical cooperation with a big-name imported glasses company in Magic City and made two million.

And this is just a year's patent licensing fee, and the big head is still behind... What did you talk about when I was not here just now?"

The last half of the sentence was that Lu Youyou was really shocked to see her parents' expressions, and then added in a low voice.

Lu Jinming and Zhu Yingying did have a long downtime.

They never asked anything directly about money since Gu Zhe entered the door. They thought it was a polite thing to save face for Gu Zhe.

So they were asking Gu Zhe about the details of their relationship with their daughter from beginning to end. As long as their character and talent are reliable, their relationship is true feelings, and others can be ignored first.

Only then did Lu Jinming realize that he was completely overthinking.

Is it worth two million to grant a patent? Do people like this still need to avoid money to save face?

Lu Jinming asked himself that "Mingyuan International" has also achieved seven-digit net profits in recent years, perhaps three or four times that of two million, but that was the result of hard work throughout the year for the whole company, and it would never be as easy as Gu Che.

Gu Zhe's current family business may still be one order of magnitude lower than the Lu family, but with his terrible ability, what about a few years later? Is it possible to catch up?

Lu Jinming couldn't help but change his more gentle attitude and asked his daughter: "That's why we underestimated Xiao Gu at the beginning, but even so, his career is in the early stages and he has to spend money on the knife."

Lu Youyou: "I gave him a reason for sending him watches and clothes. Dad, I won't hide it from you anymore. When you were hospitalized, I wanted to share some of your contributions. I consulted some operators with advice from Azhe. His understanding of material chemistry is really very broad.

Although his own topic is to do polymer polymer polymer additive technology, he knows a little about meltblown cloth and analyzes a lot of practical things for me. I was embarrassed to talk to him directly, so I gave him these gifts to express my gratitude."
