When Yue Fei woke up the next day, Gu Wei had already gone to work.
It was a beautiful Friday when Yue Fei asked his roommates to go with him to watch a new movie that just came to theaters today. However, before going out, he received a call from Mother Yue who asked him to come home immediately.
He had no choice but to cancel on his roommates and let the driver take him home.
When he got home, it was lunch time. Mother Yue had ordered the housekeeper to make lunch earlier in the day, so the moment Yue Fei got home, there would be a hot meal waiting for him.
After eating lunch, Yue Fei leaned on the sofa in a daze. He was one of those people who tend to go into a food coma right after eating.
Mother Yue sat next to Yue Fei and asked, "How is Young Master Gu treating you?"
Hearing this question, Yue Fei suddenly felt fully awake, "very good."
"What do you mean good?" Mother Yue asked.
Yue Fei: "...He let me pick any of his cars in his garage to use."
Mother Yue smiled and nodded as she listened, there was a sign of relief in her eyes.
After Yue Fei's answer, there was a moment of silence in the living room.
After a short pause, Mother Yue tentatively said: "Nothing else?"
Yue Fei: "Haha, how could there be none, there are too many, I don't know which one to start first."
Mother Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I called you back today because your father asked me to. You're married now, so your father and I think it's time to hand over some of the family's properties over to you. You can do whatever you want with them when you have the time."
Mother Yue took a box off the coffee table, which obviously looked to have been prepared a long time ago.
"Here are the title certificates of the three houses in the urban area, as well as 8% of the shares of the family company. The annual dividend should be enough for your daily expenses. Don't think it's too little, your father and I had arranged for you and Yue Ling to have the same amount of shares. Don't think that your dad and I are being unfair, Xiao Luo is an alpha, and he will definitely inherit the family property. In the future, your dad and I will also be taken care of by him..."
"Mom, you don't need to explain yourself, I understand." Yue Fei interrupted Mother Yue.
Yue Fei does not mind these things. He has planned to find a suitable job to support himself after graduation. In addition, he does not desire a materialistic life, so he is not really interested in wealth, to him everything is enough as it is.
"It's good if you understand. Third Young Master Gu treats you very well, and the Gu Family's connections are much better than ours. Seeing that you are living well, your father and I are very pleased. I won't have to worry about you anymore. Third Young Master Gu and you must manage your small family well, you hear?" Mother Yue patted the back of Yue Fei's hand, and said earnestly.
Yue Fei: "I know, Mom, you and Dad don't have to worry about me."
...
Leaving the Yue residence, Yue Fei did not immediately return to Nanwan Xiang District, but asked the driver to take him to the movie theater.
The showing time of the movie he had planned to watch with his roommates had already ended, so Yue Fei bought a new ticket and went in alone to watch it.
The movie tells the story of a delayed differentiation beta. It was not until the age of 22 that he realized that he was an omega, from this moment on his world had changed upside down for him.
After watching the movie, Yue Fei asked the driver to drive him back to Nanwan Xiang District.
On the way back, Yue Fei suddenly remembered about the study room, so he sent a message to Tang Yue, saying that he needed to a study room in the Nanwan Xiang District.
Tang Yue responded quickly, saying that Mr. Gu had already told him, during the time he was at the Yue residence today, Tang Yue had already taken the time to contact the interior design team to get everything done.
Although there were many rooms in the Nanwan Xiang District residence, the best place for a study room was the room with fitness equipment next to Gu Wei's study on the second floor, considering the conditions of the lighting and quiet environment.
After asking Gu Wei for instructions, Tang Yue moved the gym to the first floor, and the room on the second floor was remodeled into Yue Fei's study room.
Yue Fei was shocked by Tang Yue's work efficiency. He sighed and sent him a message to ask: Secretary Tang, out of my own curiosity, what's your annual income?
Tang Yue: less than a million [blushing]
Yue Fei who wanted to recruit someone over: ...Oh!
Confirmed, Tang Yue is a secretary he can't afford.
Knowing that he would soon have his own study room, Yue Fei really wanted to return to the Nanwan Xiang District in a heartbeat. He wanted to know what interior design Tang Yue chose.
While he was lost in his imaginations, Tang Yue sent another message.
Tang Yue: I originally wanted to ask your opinion on the design, but Mr. Gu happened to see the draft,and he settled on it right away. You will definitely like it.
Yue Fei: Okay, I see.
Gu Wei chose it? He hoped the style is not too rational and serious.
Back at the Nanwan Xiang District, Yue Fei couldn't wait to go up to the second floor.
The door of the new study was not closed, Yue Fei turned the knob to walk in, and immediately realized his presumption of Gu Wei's taste was wrong.
Desk, bookshelves, floor-to-ceiling window, projector, small sofa, snack cabinet, game console...
Is this a study room? Why is it like an entertainment room?
Yue Fei sat down at the desk and took a picture of the room and sent it to Gu Wei.
Yue Fei: My study? [image]
While waiting for a reply, Yue Fei got up and walked to the small sofa, knelt down and opened the snack cabinet. As expected of Tang Yue, it was full of all kinds of snacks.
While Yue Fei was choosing which to eat, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the study.
"You don't like this design?"
Yue Fei turned his head, Gu Wei was standing at the door with his hands in his pockets, looking at him, there was a sense of banter in his tone.
Yue Fei stood up, a little caught off guard: "Don't you have work today?"
"Just got back."
Gu Wei walked into the room and looked around the design.
"If you are unsatisfied, have Tang Yue change it."
Yue Fei: "It's actually exceeding my expectation, but it does not look like a study room."
Gu Wei: "Which part does not look like a study room?"
Yue Fei pointed at the source of evil beside him: "Snack cabinet...game console...projector..."
Gu Wei: "If you are hungry, you can eat snacks. If you are tired, you can watch videos and play games, isn't it convenient?"
"...You think so." Yue Fei could not refute for a moment and could not help asking, "can I visit your study room?"
Gu Wei nodded.
So Yue Fei followed Gu Wei to the next room.
To Yue Fei's surprise, the two rooms were similar in layout. The only differences wereinstead of the snack cabinet, it was a wine cabinet on the same spot; and the massage chair was placed on the same spot as the game console and projector in his room.
"Uh...it seems that my study room is quite complete." Yue Fei smiled.
Gu Wei took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, sat down on the black leather sofa, and asked Yue Fei: "Want some?"
Yue Fei sat down on the single sofa next to him: "I'll have one."
Gu Wei poured him a glass.
Yue Fei raised his hand: "I'll do it myself."
Gu Wei did not let go, Yue Fei could only give up.
The two touched their glasses.
Yue Fei raised his head, his adam's apple rolling up and down as he took a sip of wine.
"You don't need to be so polite in the future." Gu Wei said suddenly.
Yue Fei: "Huh?"
"This marriage is a win-win transaction. As a partner, you can treat me as a friend." Gu Wei explained.
Yue Fei was surprised, and said with a smile: "I'll always treat you as my boss."
Gu Wei: "I know, of course you can look at it this way, but in my opinion, it's not necessary."
Yue Fei got silent.
"I don't need more employees," Gu Wei said.
"It is my honor to have a friend like Mr. Gu." Yue Fei responded politely.
Regarding his attitude, Gu Wei raised his eyebrows lightly, took a sip and said, "There is a dinner party on Wednesday. I want to bring my partner. Please prepare and come with me."
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei hesitated: "It won't make the news, right?"
Gu Wei: "The party is not open to the public."
"Okay," Yue Fei agreed.
"You don't want people to know about our marriage?" Gu Wei understood his scruples.
Ye Fei said: "After all, it is a fake marriage. When the agreement ends, we will go our separate ways. Naturally, the less people who know about it, the better it is, and it will have the least impact on you and me."
Gu Wei nodded: "Your scruples are reasonable, don't worry, I will send my instructions to everyone at the party."
For the Gu Family, it is a very simple matter to prevent Yue Fei's photos from being made public.
"Thank you, if there is nothing else, I will go back," Yue Fei drank the wine in the glass, "I have to bring my books to the study room."
Gu Wei: "Okay."
...
Back in the bedroom, Yue Fei recalled what Gu Wei had just said to him.
He really did not expect Gu Wei to say things like "being friends", so he did not really take Gu Wei's words seriously. After all, Gu Wei immediately asked him to attend the dinner as his partner right after talking about being friends.
Although it's not stated in their agreement he needed to cooperate with him in attending such occasions, it stands to reason Gu Wei started the conversation about "being friends", so that he could not reject him. As a good friend, Yue Fei could not just disappoint his friend by saying no.
Was he just reading too much into it or was Gu Wei genuinely wanting for them to be friends, Yue Fei did not know.
After all, he was just a student, and he had never encountered a well-known businessman like Gu Wei.
After thinking about it, Yue Fei sent a message to Tang Yue.
Yue Fei: Has Mr. Gu said to you that he hopes to be friends with you? (This does not need to report to Mr. Gu)
Tang Yue: ??? How would that be possible (this sentence is automatically encrypted)
Yue Fei: [smile] [smile]
Tang Yue: Mr. Gu is very serious about his work, and he always pierces your heart and lungs with cold knives. No one in the company would dare to get along with him (this sentence is automatically encrypted)
Yue Fei: I understand [ok], thanks
Tang Yue: But you are different to Mr. Gu
Yue Fei: I know.
Tang Yue: ...
Yue Fei laughed and turned off his phone.
Of course he is different to Gu Wei. Without him, Gu Wei would not be able to fully inherit the Gu Family until the end of this book!
So Yue Fei came to the conclusion that just now Gu Wei was really just digging a hole for him to jump in.
If he really takes the other man too seriously, he would need to take a beginner class on how to survive in the real world at every turn otherwise he would be taken for a fool.
Heh, Gu Wei really has underestimated him.
In this book, he is the only one who does not care about taking the benefits for himself.
