Chapter 69 Young brother, remember to come find me! Part 1
Going back to the hometown to worship the ancestors is a big event for the Gu family. The brothers packed their own things for the return. Gu Yang got tired of playing games and ran to find Gu Ye, but found that his brother had also packed a big suitcase.
“Brother, why are you bringing stuff like the Luopan compass, cinnabar, talismans, etc.? Will they be of use during the New Year?”
“Of course they can be used.” Gu Ye thought of the reading he got for the return and felt tired in his heart. Pulling his suitcase to the door, he took out a few handkerchiefs and put them on the suitcase.
“Brother, why do you bring so many handkerchiefs?”
“I’ll tie them around my knees and use them as cushions.”
Gu Yang was puzzled, “Why?”
Feeling that Gu Yang was talking too much, Gu Ye gave a disdainful look and asked, “Why so many questions? Why don’t you go pack your own things instead of playing around in my room?”
Gu Yang smiled and asked shamelessly, “Brother, are you going out to play tomorrow?”
Gu Ye had almost finished packing up and washed his hands, “Second brother and I will go to his company tomorrow. I won’t have time to play with you. You should do your homework, or our mother will treat you to ‘bamboo board fried pork’1 after school starts.”
At this moment, Gu Sen happened to pass by Gu Ye’s room and stopped, “Why are you going to your second brother’s company?”
The brothers’ rooms are next to each other so Gu Lin also heard the question. He came to the door with a smile, “He’s coming to help me calculate the work notice for next year.”
Hearing that, Gu Sen said coldly, “Feudal superstition.”
Gu Ye asked with a smile, “Brother, do you really not need my help?”
Gu Sen refused coldly and answered without turning his head, “No.”
Gu Ye smiled evilly and shouted, “Big brother! Don’t sell any land recently! Maybe it will come back to life and make a lot of money!”
Gu Sen didn’t even turn his head and repeated the same thing he said earlier, “Feudal superstition.”
At the side, Gu Lin smiled as he watched Gu Sen go downstairs, “He just wants to save face.”
Gu Ye smiled evilly, “Brother’s temperament is like Dad’s. From the outside, he looks serious and solemn, but he is actually a little prideful inside.”
The two brothers continue to poke fun at the eldest brother. When Gu Lin turned around, he saw a few handkerchiefs on Gu Ye’s suitcase. As smart as he was, he immediately knew what Gu Ye was going to do with these handkerchiefs. He smiled and asked, “Are there any extras? Give me a few.”
Earlier, Gu Yang didn’t dare to interrupt when he heard his second and third brothers gossiping about their eldest brother. But now, he can finally interrupt, “What are you going to do with the handkerchiefs?”
“Hehehe~” Gu Ye took out a few more pieces from the drawer, gave them to Gu Lin, and asked Gu Yang, “Do you want some, Old Fourth?”
It can’t be eaten or played with, so Gu Yang immediately shook his head, “No.”
The two brothers looked at Old Fourth with sympathy. In order to make Gu Yang learn that ‘following closely behind his brothers is the right thing to do’, the two older brothers decided not to remind him (of the impending doom). The child is getting older, how many times can he be tricked, right? So, every trick counts.
…
The next morning, Gu Ye asked the driver to take him to Gu Lin’s company. After getting out of the car in the parking and entering the elevator, Gu Ye saw a super handsome guy. Based on the principle of ‘having eyes is to appreciate the beautiful things’, Gu Ye took a closer look. And then, he found something wrong at first glance.
The other party saw that Gu Ye was quite young and that he was actually frank, the man found Gu Ye interesting, “Are you a newly signed artist?”
“No, I came to see my brother.” Gu Ye smiled and gave this person an 80-point appearance in his heart. Only someone like Yu Ze can get 100 points.
Qin Xu saw that the young man in front of him was good-looking and had pure eyes, and smiled, “That’s good, you’re not suitable for this line of work.”
Gu Ye smiled, “How do you know I’m not suitable for this line of work?”
Qin Xu smiled and pointed at Gu Ye’s eyes, “Too clean (pure), just ask your brother and you’ll know. Alright then, goodbye little guy.”
The lift arrived on the 6th floor, Qin Xu waved and got out of the elevator.
“Goodbye, young brother~” Gu Ye raised his hand and waved. Hearing that, Qin Xu was amused and asked, “Whose brother are you? So cute.”
Before the elevator door was about to close, Gu Ye pointed to the top floor, “My brother is Gu Lin. Young brother, you can come and play with me~”
Qin Xu looked at the number indicated on the elevator’s display after it closed, and the number kept rising until it indicated the president’s office floor. His handsome face finally couldn’t hold it anymore, and he twitched again and again.
“Brother Xu, what are you doing here?” The assistant ran over, “Director Zhang is here, waiting for you.”
Qin Xu laughed and shook his head, “Our company’s little Wangye is so cute.”
“Did you see him? Aiya, why didn’t you ask him to tell your fortune? If people knew he was coming, many celebrities would definitely come back today.”
Qin Xu thought about the scene just now and chuckled, “I really didn’t recognize him. He doesn’t look like a fortune teller, just like a boy next door. He smiles cleanly and his eyes are so beautiful.”
The assistant took out his mobile phone and showed Qin Xu of Gu Ye’s photos on the Internet, “He and President Gu have similar eyes, both are peach blossom eyes.”
“No, there is a big difference.” Qin Xu smiled and walked away quickly. The assistant was confused. He looked through the photos of Gu Ye and Gu Lin again and again but still felt that their eyes were similar and they both looked good when they smiled. What’s the difference?
The news that Gu Ye came to the company spread quickly, and the celebrities in the company were delighted: [Master Gu is here, let’s go to ask for fortune telling in groups!]
[When is he free? Anyone has a friend from the secretarial department, go find out!]
[Comrades, wait for me. I’m on vacation today but I’m in the capital. I’ll drive over now!]
[Don’t be so anxious. He’s in the president’s office now. Whether you can see him or not is another matter.]
…
Gu Ye has been in Gu Lin’s office for half an hour, but he hasn’t said much to Gu Lin because someone keeps coming into the office.
Secretary Yang Feng felt something was wrong. “Where did you guys get so many reports to submit for signatures? Is this important? If it’s not important, take it back!”
The secretary glanced at Gu Ye and ran away in shame. With this, everyone in the office understood that the target was Gu Ye.
Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and put down the coffee cup in his hand. Walking to the door, he opened the door all of a sudden. He found several secretaries standing at the door. Everyone was startled by his sudden action.
Gu Ye asked with a smile, “Miss, are you all looking for me?”
“This…” Several secretaries said embarrassedly, “We were passing by!” After that, with tapping sounds from their high heels, they ran away, and very fast too.
Gu Ye was full of admiration, “What a great balance!”
At this moment, Secretary Yang called someone to ask about the matter. Upon ending the call, he said with an amused smile, “This is what happened. The artists in the company heard that the Third Young Master was coming. Many of them rushed back and wanted to ask the Third Young Master to tell their fortune.”
Gu Ye’s mouth curved, “Aiya, I’m going to get rich today.”
Gu Lin finished reading the document in his hand and signed it. Then he warned Gu Ye, “You are here to work for me today, don’t even think about setting up a stall in the hall.”
“Am I that kind of person?” Gu Ye put his hands behind his back and quietly moved out of the president’s office. When Gu Lin looked up, Gu Ye had disappeared with a ‘Whoosh’.
Gu Lin chuckled angrily, “This kid!”
…
There is a large sofa and a bar in the lobby on the first floor, which provides a temporary rest area for the stars who occasionally come back. Gu Ye strolled into the resting area, took a disposable cup, and poured himself a cup of milk tea. After that, he took out melon seeds from his pocket and started munching them.
Seeing that Gu Ye was so idle, the assistants who had been observing him for a long time hurried to report, just like the paparazzi. Soon, several people came, all of them were big-name artists who had been famous for a long time. When they saw each other, they just smiled. When they go out, they are usually surrounded by fans and paparazzi. Now it is the other way around, everyone is surrounding Gu Ye.
Gu Ye cracked melon seeds and said with a smile, “You guys are here to see me, right? Let me make it clear first, I don’t tell fortunes for free. My reading costs money, and the price is not uniform as it changes according to the person.”
Everyone present is not short of money. When they heard Gu Ye say this, they all happily moved forward, “Okay, how much do you want?”
An elegant actress sat opposite Gu Ye with a smile on her face and said, “I’ll give you whatever amount you ask.”
Gu Ye stretched out three fingers, “You have to give me 300,000 yuan.”
The actress smiled and said, “This sister will give you 500,000 yuan instead. Please calculate for me when I will have children.”
Everyone present laughed, “Sister Gao really plans to have a child?”
Gao Yingjing smiled and said, “Yes, my husband and I both like children. If we still don’t have any results, I am afraid I will not be able to have children anymore 2.”
In the past, the filming conditions were tough, with extreme cold and heat. Gao Yingjing had to go everywhere, which left a root of disease in her body. After getting married, she took care of herself for 2 years and was almost healed. Then, she finally had a child but she didn’t know it. In the end, she fell off a horse while filming a costume drama, and the child was lost. She hasn’t gotten pregnant again in the past 10 years.
Now that Gao Yingjing is an A-list actress, she doesn’t want to work too hard anymore. The only regret is that she doesn’t have a child. She is now in her forties, and if she doesn’t have any news of pregnancy soon, she is really afraid that she won’t be able to have one anymore.
Gu Ye borrowed a pen and paper and said, “Teacher Gao3, write a word for me.”
Gao Yingjing wrote the word ‘花/flower’ on the paper.
Gu Ye smiled after reading it, “You are pregnant.”
“Ah?” Gao Yingjing was stunned, and everyone present was also surprised. Just by looking at a word, he knew that she was pregnant?
Gu Ye smiled and said, “This is the destiny. A word written in the morning will have a different destiny than the word written in the evening. Any word represents your personal luck. Teacher Gao uses ‘花/flower’ to predict pregnancy. When the flower is mature, it will bear fruit. The word 花 has 化 under it, which means changes in the human body and has the meaning embryo. Within this character, there’s ‘七/seven’ inside, which is an odd number, so it’s a boy. However, this part can also be seen as ‘匕/dagger’. Teacher Gao, you have to have a cesarean section.”
Gao Yingjing was surprised and happy, “This… is it true? I am not mentally prepared at all.”
Gu Ye tore off the paper and gave it to the other party, “Go to the hospital for a check-up now and have a good rest. Don’t take any more jobs at the moment, your health is more important.”
“I’ll go to the hospital first, I… I’m sorry. I’m too surprised, this is too unexpected.” Gao Yingjing pinched the paper, her fingers trembling. It was just a month after her period, who would have thought that she would be pregnant? If this word alone can be used to predict it, it’s too magical!
Gao Yingjing left the company in a hurry and ran into Qin Xu who had just come back alone after seeing off the director. Qin Xu asked in confusion, “Sister Gao, is there something urgent?”
“I’ll tell you when I get back. By the way, Master Gu is fortune-telling in the hall. You can go and have a fortune-telling too.”
Qin Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was the first time he heard people recommending fortune-telling to him.
As Qin Xu approached, he heard Gu Ye’s elegant voice saying slowly and calmly, “Using the word ‘江/river’ to predict your future. From the perspective of pictographic characters, there is a dam on the river, which means a dam that blocks water. If you use it to ask about your future, it can be interpreted as rising water lifts all boats, and your future is good. However, it has not reached the point of unlimited.”
Gu Ye changed the subject, “Because the water storage capacity of the dam is fixed, the water will overflow when it passes the dam. The word ‘工’ within the character can be seen as a person standing between heaven and earth. If he cannot stand firm, he will be swept by the flow. Teacher Feng, you should be more reserved recently and stop being so high-profile.”
“Thank you.” A male actor who has been in the limelight recently took the word Gu Ye gave him with a serious face and said seriously, “I will consider it.”
Gu Ye nodded, “300,000 yuan, transfer to my account.”
Hearing this, Qin Xu almost laughed out loud. 300,000 yuan for a reading, this little guy really dares to accept this amount.
Then, a female voice said, “I also do fortune telling by character too.”
Gu Ye tsk-ed and promoted himself, “I can do other things, and they are all pretty accurate. Why do you all just want to do fortune-telling by character?”
“I think fortune telling by character is more interesting,” the actress said with a smile and added, “I ask about my boyfriend’s future career.”
“Your fortune-telling fee is 50,000 yuan.”
