Chapter 1138 Targeted Donation
Gu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, I see. Then let's get together another day."
Su Xing nodded perfunctorily, "Let's talk about it another day."
She and Gu Yi hadn't even added each other on WeChat. When he casually mentioned "let's get together another day," she just took it with a grain of salt.
The three of them entered the elevator together.
Got to the first floor.
Su Xing didn't want to go out with Gu Yi, so he said, "I'm leaving first, Mr. Shen, Mr. Gu, goodbye."
The large Ming Hongwu underglaze red chrysanthemum-patterned lobed plate she bought at auction still has some settlement procedures to complete, and it's estimated that the money will arrive in her account in about a month.
She was in no hurry.
Shen Bai said to Su Xing, "Goodbye, call me if you need anything."
Su Xing smiled at Shen Bai and replied, "Okay."
Gu Yi said, "Goodbye, Miss Su."
Su Xing waved to the two of them and quickly left.
Shen Bai stood still, turning his head to give Gu Yi a cold glare, "What are you thinking?"
Gu Yi put his hands in his pockets. "What do you mean, what am I thinking?"
Shen Bai said, "Didn't you already know who Miss Su's boyfriend was last time? What's this all about now?"
Gu Yi felt a little guilty. "What did I do? I just... considered her a friend. Aren't you her friend too?"
Actually, the last time he made eye contact with He Xu through the glass door, he knew he had no chance, and he had never offended the He family for Su Xing's sake.
During this time, he didn't see Su Xing in person, and he didn't think about those random things.
But... when he suddenly saw her today, he couldn't control himself. His eyes kept following her, trying to catch her every smile and frown.
He had blurted out the invitation to Su Xing almost unconsciously, and afterwards he felt a pang of regret, but at the same time, he also hoped she would accept...
"Heh..." Shen Bai sneered, "She and I are business partners and like-minded friends. Is that what you and she are like? You can't even treat her with equality and respect. Do you think she would want to be friends with you?"
Gu Yi frowned, his tone indignant, "How am I being unfair to her? How am I being disrespectful?!"
"Gu Yi, look at her eyes. I can see it clearly, and she can feel it too. As your childhood friend, I'm giving you one last piece of advice: don't make a fool of yourself and end up making things awkward for everyone."
Shen Bai didn't believe that Gu Yi was deeply in love with Su Xing, whom he had only met a few times.
Over the years, Gu Yi has never lacked women around him, but none of them have been able to maintain a long-term, stable relationship with him. At most, they would only stay by his side for a month or two before he was replaced by someone else.
The reason he could keep thinking about Su Xing was simply because he had never had her and was unwilling to accept it.
Gu Yi said impatiently, "Alright, alright! Stop lecturing me, I know what I'm doing! Just mind your own business!"
Shen Bai held back for a moment, but couldn't help rolling her eyes at Gu Yi. "You'd better watch yourself!"
At that moment, his assistant came to greet him.
Shen Bai strode away.
Gu Yi raised one hand and rubbed his face vigorously.
He was getting a little irritated.
……
Su Xing found He Xu's car in the parking lot, opened the door, and got into the passenger seat.
He Xu asked her with a smile, "Was the auction interesting?"
While fastening his seatbelt, Su Xing said, "It's very interesting. I saw a lot of ceramic items today. It's been an eye-opener. There's a Longquan celadon double-fish washer from the Southern Song Dynasty, and a Ming Dynasty peacock blue glazed stem bowl..."
She knew many of the items up close, and even described some details, including the starting price and the final price.
He Xu started the car, his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel, listening attentively to his girlfriend's account of her experiences at the auction, occasionally interjecting with a question or two.
The two chatted back and forth, creating a relaxed and warm atmosphere.
We arrived at the He family's old residence.
Grandma He Xu smiled and said, "Oh my, we've finally got our little Xing back!"
Su Xing opened his arms and hugged the old lady, "Grandma, I missed you so much!"
The old lady patted Su Xing's back, "I missed you too~"
After hugging Grandma He, Su Xing quickly greeted Grandpa He, "Hello, Grandpa."
"Yes, please sit down." Old Master He nodded, then asked, "That field internship you're doing must be quite tough, right?"
Su Xing said, "It's alright. Everyone was a little unaccustomed to it for the first two days, but once they got used to it, they didn't feel it was hard anymore."
He Xu interjected, "Our Xiao Xing is very adaptable to her environment."
"I heard you live in a cave dwelling over there?"
"Yes, this is the first time I've ever lived in a cave dwelling. It feels quite novel."
"Cave dwellings are great, they're warm in winter and cool in summer."
After everyone sat together and chatted for a while, the door opened again, and Ye Xitang walked in from outside.
As she changed her shoes, she called out to Su Xing, "Sister-in-law, you're finally back!"
She heard that Su Xing had returned, so she rushed back today.
Su Xing smiled and said, "I heard you were busy filming recently. Have you finished filming yet?"
“Hey!” Ye Xitang said, “I only had a cameo role in an ancient costume drama. I didn’t have many scenes, and filming wrapped up a long time ago.”
She mainly focuses on songwriting and singing; the few dramas she's acted in are all guest roles, with her most prominent role being the third female lead.
Although she has resources and wants to play leading roles, with plenty of people handing her scripts, she has a clear understanding of herself. With her current acting skills, she is not yet capable of carrying a leading role. If she forces herself to play such a role, she will definitely be criticized by a large number of viewers and lose their goodwill.
Ye Xitang moved closer and sat down next to Su Xing.
The two chatted for a few more minutes about their recent lives.
The nanny came to report that dinner was ready.
The elderly couple invited their children to a restaurant for a meal.
Nowadays, Su Xing no longer holds back or hides his appetite in front of the He family.
She ate as much as she wanted for dinner.
Grandma He loved watching Su Xing eat and kept putting all sorts of delicious food on her plate.
They were happy to eat anything that woke them up.
The housekeeper who cooks at home smiled broadly when she saw that a whole table of food had been eaten, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
After the meal, the three grandchildren chatted with the elderly couple for a while.
Around nine o'clock, the three left the He family's old house.
……
on Monday.
Su Xing's morning classes were very full.
There are only two classes in the afternoon.
After finishing her class, she left the school to take care of something.
She received a 900,000 yuan reward for reporting the three spies during her summer vacation, which she hasn't claimed yet.
Today she's going to collect the money.
Su Xing went to the National Security Bureau at No. 9 Qianmen East Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing.
She showed her identification and explained her purpose.
The staff worked quickly and began processing her application to receive the bonus.
After completing the formalities, she wasn't given 900,000 yuan in cash directly; instead, the reward was paid to the whistleblower via bank transfer.
The staff told Su Xing, "The money should be in your account within 24 hours. Please check your bank for the notification. If you do not receive the funds within 24 hours, please call our contact number for inquiries."
Su Xing said, "Okay, thank you."
The staff member added, "Thank you very much for your support and cooperation with national security work. If you discover similar clues in the future, please continue to report them to us."
Su Xing said, "Thank you for the reminder. Safeguarding national security is the responsibility of every citizen. I will definitely report any relevant information to you in a timely manner. This is what we citizens should do."
After leaving the National Security Bureau, Su Xing did not wait for the reward money to arrive. She directly searched for "Spring Bud Project" online, chose to make a targeted donation, and specified the girls' high school she wanted to donate to in the remarks, donating one million yuan.
