Chapter 467 "Don't Lend a Poor Person's Cell Phone"

Yao Bao smiled shyly, "Second Brother..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Zhiheng patted the bag next to him and said, "Put it in."

Seeing that her second brother didn't blame her, Gu Zhiyao's eyes lit up, and she happily put the mobile phone into Gu Zhiheng's bag.

"My second brother isn't blaming me anymore; he's become so generous," she said with a grin.

Before he could finish speaking, his cheek was gently pinched. "You think I'm blaming you? The battery will be fully charged in no time? Besides, what's so blaming about such a small thing? Do you think I'm a tyrant?"

"Second brother is not a tyrant, second brother is the best brother," Yao Bao said sweetly.

Gu Zhiheng would never believe her. Don't be fooled by her sweet talk now; once she sees her brother, she'll forget everything.

He smiled slightly, said nothing, leaned back, stretched out his long legs, and closed his eyes to rest.

Gu Zhiyao nudged him with her shoulder, "Second brother, aren't you worried that Lixin might come looking for you?"

Gu Zhiheng opened his eyes and said helplessly, "What's the use of worrying? I didn't see you go easy on me and leave me any electricity."

"I hadn't seen my brother for a long time, so we had a lot to talk about and talked for a while."

"Is that what you call chatting? Chatting involves give and take. What you're doing is just one-sided storytelling, pure output," Gu Zhiheng teased.

"No way!" Gu Zhiyao's tone rose slightly, "The young man also replied!"

"Yes, Qianbao replied, he replied with 'hmm hmm hmm,' 'Oh, is that so?' 'Anything else...' Gu Zhiheng completely replicated his younger brother's answer, and was very certain of it."

Gu Zhiyao: "..."

"I told you so, didn't I?" Gu Zhiheng said smugly.

Gu Zhiyao didn't respond, but instead complained about the mobile phone, which was convenient in some ways but inconvenient in others.

"It's all because that old mobile phone was too heavy and ugly. If it were smaller, lighter, and had a longer battery life, I would buy one too! I've realized now that I shouldn't borrow phones from poor people."

Gu Zhiheng picked at his ear. "Poor?"

Gu Zhiyao pouted, "Fine, you're not poor."

"I'm not poor to begin with." Gu Zhiheng stretched out his long arm, ruffled her hair, and said confidently, "Just wait, I'll become the richest person in the country sooner or later, known as Diamond Gu the Second."

"It sounds awful!" Gu Zhiyao said with disdain.

“Once I’ve accumulated enough wealth, even if I were to be called Gu Gousheng… that name would exude a sense of understated luxury and sophistication.” Gu Zhiheng was increasingly aware of the importance of money; in the future, money could solve 99.999% of his problems.

Gu Zhiyao was unable to refute.

Knowing the situation in later generations, Lin Zhao's eyes held an even more subtle expression.

The second son sees things clearly; he's quite ambitious.

"Keep it up! If you become the richest person in the country, I'll be the richest person's mother, and I'll be able to win without lifting a finger with you." Lin Zhao's smile grew brighter as she spoke. "How come my life is so good? When I was young, I relied on my parents; after I got married, I relied on my husband, parents, and brother; and now that I'm old, I rely on my children. I don't dare to tell anyone about this life of easy success, for fear of being envied."

A low chuckle escaped Gu Chenghuai's lips.

"What are you laughing at? I'm just stating the facts," Lin Zhao said reproachfully.

She's living such a carefree life now, and it's not just because of her own efforts.

At least you can't afford to live in such a big courtyard house or drive such a cool car on your own.

Gu Zhiheng laughed along, "Then I have to work hard, I can't let my mom's wish to win by doing nothing be in vain."

"I also want to win without lifting a finger." Gu Zhiyao looked at her second brother expectantly. If she didn't ask for help now, when would she ever get another chance?

“Aren’t you lying here right now?” Gu Zhiheng pinched the tip of her nose. “Your profits from those shops are just for show.”

Gu Zhiyao has no business sense. The shops she owns were all businesses found by her second brother, and each one is profitable, adding up to a considerable sum each month.

It's much higher than her salary!

"hey-hey."

Knowing that Gu Zhiqian had returned home, Lin Zhao and the others were not sleepy at all. With nothing to do, Gu Zhiheng magically produced a deck of cards, and the family sat together and started playing.

They were in the same carriage and kept their voices down, so they weren't worried about disturbing others.

After playing for two hours, seeing that it was getting late, everyone went back to their beds to sleep.

Lin Zhao was sleepy and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Gu Zhiyao was still grumbling to Gu Zhiheng, "Dad cheats. He always sides with Mom. I lost so much, and the losses were huge."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a glare. Gu Zhiheng said with a black line on his face, "If I remember correctly, I was the one who gave you the chips. What did you lose?"

"...Uh, uh uh uh." Gu Zhiyao laughed awkwardly.

forget.

"Sorry." She nudged Gu Zhiheng's arm, her face full of flattery.

Seeing that Lin Zhao was asleep, Gu Zhiheng stopped arguing with his sister, climbed up to the top bunk, lay down, stretched out his long legs, and looked like a big, aggrieved fellow.

He didn't think much of it; he was used to it.

The family was woken up by noises coming from the hallway after they had been sleeping.

The two of them washed their faces, and estimating that it was almost time to get off the bus, they headed straight for the door.

It's at the very front of the list.

"This is the first time I've ever been so eager to get off the bus," Gu Zhiheng said with a smile.

The capital city has many starting stations, and the trains he usually takes are to the final station. He always takes his time, waiting for everyone to have left before slowly getting up and getting off the train.

“Me too!” Gu Zhiyao chimed in.

Gu Zhiheng stretched out a finger and pushed her head away, saying, "What's it to you? You don't go out often anyway."

Gu Zhiyao nudged him with her round head, making a few "ah ah" sounds, "You're arguing with me again, I'll fight you to the death!!"

Gu Zhiheng put one arm around her head, laughed heartily, and teased his sister, "Can't compete, can't compete."

As they were talking, the car stopped and the door opened.

Gu Zhiheng became serious, put his arm around Gu Zhiyao's shoulder, and led her out of the car.

"Finally back! I'm finally going to see my little brother!" Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but laugh.

As they were talking, they looked up and saw a young man surrounded by admirers.

Her eyes brightened slightly, and before she could even react, her feet seemed to have a mind of their own, and she took off running towards the person.

"Brother!!!"

A clear, joyful voice rang out, drawing the attention of those nearby.

Seeing that she was a beautiful young girl, they all smiled kindly.

What a beautiful girl.

Looking in the direction she was running, there was another handsome and refined face.

These brother and sister are really something!

Gu Zhiqian opened his arms, hugged his sister, and took the bag from her.

"Hey bro, when did you arrive? I didn't expect you to come pick us up!"

"Anyway, I had nothing to do and was eager to see you all, so I came. I estimated the time, so I haven't been here long," Gu Zhiqian explained.

At this moment, Lin Zhao and the other two stepped forward.

"Dad, Mom, Second Brother," Gu Zhiqian called out.

He walked over and hugged Lin Zhao, bent down, pressed his face against Lin Zhao's shoulder, and said apologetically, "Mom, I'm back. I'm sorry I'm a little late. I couldn't be with you for the ceremony or go hiking with you."

Lin Zhao was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to say this first. She reached out and patted her son's back, her laughter warm.

"Silly boy, why are you saying this? Your second brother is with me. Instead of saying this, I'd rather you say you miss me. That would make me happier." Gu Zhiqian raised his head, his cool eyes breaking into a smile. "Mom, I miss you."

“I miss you too. Your dad, your second brother, and Yaobao all miss you.”

"How many days will you stay this time?" Lin Zhao asked.

Gu Zhiqian replied, "The project has encountered difficulties. I need to rest for half a month to clear my head."

“It’s time to change your mindset. My perfectly healthy son spends all his time in the lab, and I’m worried that you’re becoming slow to react,” Lin Zhao said with concern.

She then added, "Take advantage of your time to go back to Haicheng and visit your grandparents and maternal grandparents. They miss you."

"Yes, yes." Gu Zhiqian nodded seriously. "I will."

"I'll go with you, we'll fly there together," Lin Zhao said with a smile.

Gu Zhiqian asked in surprise, "Mom, you dare to take a plane?"

"We took the cable car down the mountain. I think I've overcome that. It's okay, I'm not afraid because I have someone with me," Lin Zhao said.

Gu Chenghuai was unwilling to miss his wife's first experience of flying without him, so he said in a deep voice, "Book me a ticket too."

As Lin Zhao exited the station, she looked at him and asked, "You have time?"

"I can squeeze some out." Gu Chenghuai was calculating the important matters in the military region. After finishing the overtime work, he should be able to free up a few days.

"It would be great if you were with me." A good husband gives his wife a sense of security that no one else can replace, and Gu Chenghuai is such a person to Lin Zhao.

"Of course I'll go," Gu Chenghuai said gently.

What will Zhao Zhao do if he's not around? Even his children don't understand his wife as well as he does.

The family exited the station.

Gu Zhiqian is very important. The government has arranged for people to stay by his side. He was brought here by plainclothes officers, and the two of them are protecting him in secret.

The car is outside, and that's arranged by the government.

Gu Chenghuai was in the military system and held a high position, so he knew more or less about what Gu Zhiqian had done. Therefore, he discovered the existence of the two people immediately.

They remained silent, pretending not to know.

Those two men were from the military, so they naturally knew Gu Chenghuai, the high-ranking military commander.

She nodded to him discreetly as a greeting.

"Shall we take a taxi back?" Gu Zhiyao asked.

"No need," Gu Zhiqian said vaguely. "I've hired a car, and it's parked not far away."

Lin Zhao and the others understood the implied meaning of his words, so they didn't say anything and just followed him.

With admiration in her eyes, Gu Zhiyao got into the car and said in a tone full of respect, "Brother, you're really amazing."

Unfortunately, she couldn't tell her friends how amazing her brother was, so she could only secretly admire him in her heart.

"You're doing well too. I heard from my second brother that you're doing very well at the TV station and will soon be moving from behind the scenes to the forefront. I believe it won't be long before I see you on TV." Gu Zhiqian's eyes were encouraging, and his words were sincere.

When Gu Zhiyao was praised by her smartest brother, her rosy lips unconsciously turned up, and she whispered sweetly, "I can't compare to my brother. What he did was a great thing that benefited the country and the nation. What am I compared to him?"

“You can’t say that.” Gu Zhiqian said seriously and righteously, “Everyone’s work has value. A vibrant society cannot rely on just one type of person. Only when people from all walks of life work together can the country progress and develop. What you are doing is also meaningful, Yaobao. Never deny your own value.”

"No, I just think my brother is the best." Gu Zhiyao is a bright and confident little sun, and she would never underestimate herself.

but.

This doesn't stop her from thinking that her brother is the best in the world!

Gu Zhiqian's gaze softened slightly.

“Just listen to what Gu Zhiyao says, don’t take it too seriously! She’s just flattering you. She’s said similar things to me and my older brother quite often,” Gu Zhiheng couldn’t help but say.

Gu Zhiyao said confidently, "In my heart, my family is the best in the world, so what? Is that not allowed?"

“Okay, if you say it’s okay, then it’s okay,” Gu Zhiheng said.

He dared not go too far in front of Qianbao. His older brother wasn't there, and he was all alone. He couldn't handle two people.

Especially my younger sister, if she gets really angry, she'll call her grandparents, and he'll get nagged again.

Upon returning home, the first thing Gu Zhiheng did was to charge his mobile phone.

I took a shower after charging my phone.

After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Lin Zhao felt several pounds lighter.

When I came out, I saw Gu Zhiqian sitting on the sofa, without the TV on, his brows furrowed, as if he was stumped by some problem.

"Are you still thinking about work?"

Gu Zhiqian snapped out of his daze and smiled sheepishly.

The experiment stalled at a critical moment, and he and all the researchers were on edge. The project was suspended, the losses were heavy, and everyone was very anxious.

"fine……"

Before Gu Zhiqian could finish his attempt to smooth things over, Lin Zhao gently interrupted him, "Go to the study and read for a while. I've recently acquired a lot of books; I don't know if they'll be helpful to you. Go and look through them; they're in the hidden compartment."

She found it while organizing her storage rings, and fearing that taking it out inappropriately would be discovered, she put it in a hidden compartment.

Although the study at home is quite private, Lin Zhao is used to being cautious.

Gu Zhiqian's eyes lit up. He stood up and hugged Lin Zhao. "Thank you, Mom. I'll go take a look and come out to talk to you in a bit."

The sound had barely faded when...

The figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

Lin Zhao shook his head helplessly. Qianbao had been engrossed in reading since he was little and would forget about time. It was already a miracle if he came out at mealtimes.

It's nothing, you can speak anytime. I just hope those books are useful to Qianbao now and even to their laboratory, and that he can find the answers in them.

Gu Zhiqian opened the hidden compartment and found many more books inside, which he quickly browsed through.

He quickly flipped through one book after another, and when he found something useful, he took it out and sat down at his desk to read it.

It turned out to be the case.

This is it.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter, and a number of new ideas popped into his mind. He couldn't wait to get back to the lab.

Quickly jotting down his new idea, Gu Zhiqian suppressed his excitement, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

Gu Zhiqian has a good memory; he remembers everything that happened from childhood to adulthood and knows that there is something strange about Lin Zhao. These books further confirm his guess.

Therefore, the origins of those previous reference books also remain a mystery.

Gu Zhiqian didn't want to delve into it. Everyone has secrets they can't tell others, and since it doesn't affect others, why bother digging into the details?

Knowing that trying to do too much at once is counterproductive, Gu Zhiqian didn't stay in the study for long. After writing and drawing for a while, he locked the few sheets of paper in a box and left.

Upon seeing Lin Zhao, he walked over with light steps, like a swallow returning to its nest, his eyes suddenly brightening.

"Looks like we've made some progress," Lin Zhao joked with a smile.

Gu Zhiqian sat down next to her. "Yes, thank you, Mom."

"No need to thank me. Those books are just sitting there anyway. I'm glad they're useful to you." Lin Zhao was also very happy.

She was worried she wouldn't be of any use, but she never expected to be able to help.

The books were too profound for her to understand, and she didn't dare give them to anyone who could, for fear of revealing her ignorance. It's wonderful that Qianbao can use them; it made all the collecting worthwhile.

Gu Zhiqian couldn't say how important those books were, but they gave him new ideas and showed him new possibilities; their value was immeasurable.
