Chapter 26
After dinner, they went home.
After washing up, Gu Shi lay on the bed and asked Luo Zhengzheng, "I'm planning to arrange for Luo Can to go to the company for training."
They could banter however they like.
So talking to Gu Xian like that was still acceptable. After all, he called him Second Brother and won't hold it against him.
Going to work at a company for some experience should help him mature.
Luo Zhengzheng looked at him: "Isn't he doing odd jobs at your company?"
Gu Shi said, "It's just running errands and typing. I plan to have him learn from Guo Yao. Guo Yao is skilled in his work and extremely shrewd in dealing with people. After learning from him for a few months, he won't be so naive anymore."
“It’s normal for someone his age to be a bit naive,” Luo Zhengzheng said. Luo Can was a good student at school, had a magnanimous and enthusiastic personality, and was liked by his teachers and classmates. He hadn’t experienced much hardship or setbacks, and was still a sunny boy with no dark feelings. He said what he thought and gave people the impression of a simple and innocent boy.
After Gu Shi passed away, he seemed to have grown up overnight and even went to help at the Ye Group. He supported her in many things.
Gu Shi glanced at Luo Zhengzheng, carefully choosing his words: "Wouldn't it be better for a boy to be more mature?"
She said, "Then you should teach him more."
She thought to herself, "He toiled for the Ye Group for so many years in my past life, and now it's your turn to worry about him."
Gu Shi glanced at her with a half-smile: "Can your mind be at ease?"
Luo Zhengzheng naturally wouldn't fall for it, saying, "You're his elder brother-in-law, how could you possibly harm him? What's there to worry about? Just teach him, my mom even wants him to learn from you."
Gu Shi said, "I'm afraid you'll feel heart ache."
Catching his strange tone, Luo Zhengzheng said dismissively, "He's such a grown man, what's there to feel heart ache for?"
Although she felt heart ache for her younger brother, she also knew what was good and bad. How could he become successful without experiencing some hardship and trials?
Gu Shi glanced at her and said, "Okay."
Luo Can, who was sleeping downstairs, suddenly sneezed. He looked at the air conditioner, the temperature was just right, so he decided to stop thinking about it and go back to sleep. He had to get up early tomorrow.
Upstairs, Gu Shi looked at Luo Zhengzheng: "And then?"
Luo Zhengzheng looked completely innocent and asked him, "What, then?"
Gu Shi touched her face: "Shouldn't you give me some compensation?"
Luo Zhengzheng: "......"
So this man was waiting for her here.
Gu Shi looked at her and said, "There should usually be some compensation in times like this."
Luo Zhengzheng's eyes widened: "Who said that?"
Gu Shi said slowly, "In TV dramas or novels, when a husband does something for his wife, he gets some compensation."
Luo Zhengzheng looked at him and said, "Then I don't agree to giving compensation."
Gu Shi lowered his head and said, "Then I'll take it myself."
Then he kissed her.
Luo Zhengzheng mentally rolled her eyes. If he wanted close physical contact, just say so! Why talk about compensation? Did saying it like that make things more romantic?
Thinking this, she asked as his lips moved to her eyelids, "So this makes it more romantic?"
She directly threw it out.
Gu Shi: "......"
Looking into her eyes, he said helplessly, "Close your eyes."
Luo Zhengzheng closed her eyes.
The next day, after Luo Can finished his driving lesson, he went to the company to do odd jobs in the afternoon, where Gu Shi handed him over to Guo Yao.
Wang Zehao waved to him with an envious look on his face.
Luo Can thought to himself, "What are you envious of? Don't you know how monstrous Guo Yao is? What good will come of following him?"
Guo Yao was not polite to him at all. He would entrust him with some things that he thought Luo Can could handle. If he did not do them well, he would be scolded. If he did them well, he would not be praised.
Luo Can was on the verge of tears, but fortunately he was smart and completed almost all the tasks assigned to him by Secretary Guo.
Time flew and the day for the start of filming for "I Am a Robot" had arrived.
Chen Hui called Luo Zhengzheng to ask if she wanted to attend the opening ceremony, as the current scenes were being filmed in the capital and the opening ceremony was also being held in the capital.
Since the opening ceremony was being held in the capital, Luo Zhengzheng was naturally willing to attend and took her son to broaden his horizons.
Director Lu was very enthusiastic when he saw Luo Zhengzheng arrive and invited her to take a photo, but she declined.
This movie was a big project and Chen Ze was also present. He looked at little Chengjia in Xiao Zhang's arms, happily picked him up, and hugged him: "This little guy is here too."
Director Lu looked at little Chengjia in Chen Ze's arms, his eyes lit up, and asked Luo Zhengzheng, "Is this your son?"
Luo Zhengzheng nodded.
Director Lu said excitedly, "There's a child character in the movie that could allow him to..."
Before Luo Zhengzheng could speak, Chen Ze interrupted her, saying, "There are so many child actors, don't even think about taking advantage of my godson."
Luo Zhengzheng glanced at him, thinking to herself, "When did my son become your godson?"
Director Lu tried to persuade him: "It's only a one-minute shot."
Chen Ze still disagreed: "Not even for a second."
If Gu Shi found out that his son had come to the film set and was pulled into filming, he might get so angry that he would withdraw his investment, and the entire production would be ruined.
Director Lu turned to Luo Zhengzheng, who could only apologize to him: "Find another child actor."
They don't want to expose their child to the spotlight.
Since the mother had already said that, Director Lu had no choice but to give up.
Chen Ze sent Gu Shi a message: "Filming starts today. Your wife and son are on set. We didn't finish discussing what happened the other day. Should we call Wang Maoxiu over to continue the discussion?"
He had been researching a lot of information these past few days and felt that there was great potential in the logistics industry.
Everyone said that the entertainment industry was lucrative, but only insiders knew the truth. They make some money here and then invest it in movies and TV series there, so they didn't really have much money left.
He had been considering doing other businesses. Since they thought logistics was a viable option, they could partner up with a few people and share the risks.
Gu Shi was outside talking to someone and didn't see his text message in time.
When he saw his text message, it was already afternoon. He immediately made a phone call: "Where are you now?"
Chen Ze said, "I'm still on set."
Gu Shi said, "Let's talk at the Ye Group headquarters."
Chen Ze: "Okay."
In the end, Gu Shi said, "Bring Jiajia along too."
Chen Ze chuckled and said, "Fine, I'll only bring Jiajia. Let your wife go back first."
Gu Shi's tone was slightly cold: "If she doesn't want to talk business, she can go back first. You take care of Jiajia."
Chen Ze hurriedly said, "Spare me, I promise to bring your wife to you, okay?"
Since Chen Ze went to the Ye Group to discuss business, Luo Zhengzheng didn't want to disturb them. She preferred to watch them film on set, as it was quite interesting. Not only did little Jiajia have other children from the film crew to play with, but Chen Ze also specially prepared a rest room for the mother and son. When they got tired of playing, they could go to the rest room to rest, and when they were hungry, there was a specially ordered lunch. They were extremely happy all morning.
Chen Ze said helplessly, "Elder Sister-in-law, I have already promised Gu Shi that I will bring you and your child over, otherwise this business deal cannot be discussed."
He didn't understand why Luo Zhengzheng had to be brought along when it was just to discuss official business.
Since he said so, Luo Zhengzheng naturally went with him to the Ye Group headquarters.
The receptionist was stunned to see Luo Zhengzheng. What’s more, Gu Chengjia was being held in Xiao Zhang's arms. They all started gossiping about it in the group chat.
"The president's wife has arrived, and she brought little young master with her. He's so cute."
“He looks a lot like his parents. He'll definitely be a handsome guy when he grows up.”
"If both parents are good-looking, their child is bound to be too."
"It seems the president's wife hasn't had plastic surgery. You can tell from little young master's appearance."
"Perhaps he takes after his father?"
"He clearly inherited the best traits from both parents."
"Is it really that hard to admit that the president's wife didn't have any surgery?"
"......"
When the group arrived at Gu Shi's office, Wang Maoxiu was already there.
Gu Shi took out the contract he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Chen Ze: "Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be added or removed."
Chen Ze took the contract and looked at the two of them: "You guys are pretty quick."
After saying that, he lowered his head to look at the contract: "Why is Luo Zhengzheng the partner?"
Luo Zhengzheng looked up blankly at Gu Shi.
Gu Shi took his son from Luo Zhengzheng's arms and sat down next to her, saying, "I have a lot of things to do here. It's the same if this girl gets involved too."
Saying this, he patted Luo Zhengzheng's arm.
Chen Ze scoffed. In front of his group of childhood friends, it was always ‘my family’s Ms. Luo.' But in front of Luo Zhengzheng, it was always 'this girl.' So, he changed how he addressed his wife depending on who he was with?
Luo Zhengzheng said, "I won't get involved in your affairs, okay?"
There was no need for that. It was not like they couldn't do other businesses besides logistics.
Wang Maoxiu quickly said, "Elder Sister-in-law, you absolutely must agree. If you don't, our business deal won't go through."
Luo Zhengzheng asked him, "What do you mean?"
Wang Maoxiu glanced at Gu Shi helplessly: "If you don't participate in the investment, Gu Shi doesn't plan to partner with us. The Ye family's businesses are enough to keep him busy."
Gu Shi looked at Luo Zhengzheng and said, "You can put some assets under your name."
Chen Ze looked at Luo Zhengzheng with envy: "Elder Sister-in-law, Gu Shi is investing in you and wants you to be a shareholder, and you still disagree? Are you stupid? You're turning down money that's being handed to you?"
Wang Maoxiu added, "That's right. With multiple industries, you have a strong foundation, and outsiders won't dare to underestimate you."
He added in a somewhat fierce tone at the end, "In the future, I will also give Mengrou some businesses so that no one will dare to bully her. Besides, you don't need to manage them. You just need to collect dividends."
Judging from his tone, Luo Zhengzheng knew there was more to the story. She didn't press him for details. They had already gone this far, so she didn't refuse any longer; to do so would seem pretentious: "Then let's sign the contract."
Originally, she only wanted to invest in TV series and movies and didn't want to get involved in other things. Since she didn't have to manage things and only had to receive dividends, she naturally agreed to such a good deal.
