Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 73: The Sweet and Innocent Girl Tao Miaomiao

As soon as he finished speaking, the mobile phone in Gu Jianguo's hand was snatched away, and his aunt's face appeared in front of Gu Heng.

"Xiao Heng, I heard from your mother that you are working in Hangzhou?"

Hearing his aunt's sudden question, Gu Heng nodded.

"I remember Hangzhou is not far from Shanghai, right? Ask your friend if there is still room in the car. Can you go to Shanghai to pick up your sister? Your friend can pay whatever the fare is.

Your sister is doing an internship in her junior year. Some time ago, she said that her company said that interns need to stay on the job during the Chinese New Year, so she didn’t buy a ticket. Now they say she can go home for the Chinese New Year, but she still can’t buy a ticket after trying for a few days. Even the bus is gone. Your uncle is planning to hire a car from home to pick her up in Shanghai.

Gu Heng was silent after listening to his aunt's words.
To be honest, he really dislikes his uncle and aunt.

These two people are the type of people who fully demonstrate the word "snobbish".
My cousin Gu Xinran was admitted to the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, a double first-class university. Not only is she unique in their local area, she is also an outstanding student even in the whole country.

What about me? I went out to work after graduating from high school. Because of this, they felt superior to others and often mocked my family. They said that I would not have any future. When I called home, I often heard my mother complaining that I was disobedient and did not go to college, and that my uncle's family looked down on me.
Rural area.
That's actually the case
I have had so much contact with my relatives and neighbors that I always like to compare and show off everything.

However, although he disliked his uncle and aunt, he had no prejudice against his cousin. After all, there was not much difference in age between them, and Gu Xinran was also a follower behind him when she was a child.

It was only later that she went to college, didn't make a name for herself and rarely came home, so we gradually lost contact.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng no longer thought about it and said to his aunt on the phone: "Let me call Xinran first and ask her what's going on there?"

"Okay, okay, you contact her first, and then come back and ask your uncle to prepare a table for you!"

Looking at the natural smile of the young aunt, Gu Heng felt more and more snobbish, but unexpectedly he felt a little refreshed.
It feels really good to be asked for help by someone you once looked down upon. It really feels like "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west".
However, he knew clearly that this was just the beginning. When he returned home, he would truly enter the script of [Three-Year Agreement, Setting Foot on the Yunlan Sect].

After hanging up the video, Gu Heng searched through WeChat for a while before finding Gu Xinran’s WeChat.

Without thinking too much, I just called.

The phone rang for a full half minute before the other end answered.
"elder brother?"

Hearing the familiar voice and address from the other side, Gu Heng raised a smile, and the image of the lively girl who liked to wear a skirt and follow behind him in his memory directly emerged in his mind: "I heard that you are trapped in Shanghai and can't go back?"

Gu Xinran: “???!!”

"how do you know?!"

"Your mother just told me, have you bought the ticket yet?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but once she did, Gu Xinran's voice was filled with pain: "Wow, don't say it. I've been looking for it for a few days but still can't find one. I can't even get a ride. I guess I'll have to spend the New Year in Shanghai this year."

"If there is a car today, can we go back directly?"

"Of course I can. I'm just an intern. I don't have much to do except serving tea and water. My vacation has been approved a long time ago. I can leave anytime as long as I sign my name." Gu Xinran was very smart. By the end of his speech, he had roughly guessed the purpose of Gu Heng's call. He hesitated and said, "Brother, you don't want to..."

"Stop talking nonsense and send me the location."

"Brother!!! You are the best brother in the whole world!!"

As the piercing scream rang out from the other end of the phone, Gu Heng couldn't help but take the phone away from his ear.
This girl is still the same as she was a few years ago, liking to be startled.

"I'm in Hangzhou now, and it'll take about an hour to get to Shanghai. You should get ready now, and we'll go home directly when we arrive." After saying that, Gu Heng was ready to hang up the phone.

"Wait a moment!"

"what happened again?"

"I have a roommate from Tongcheng. She and I are interning at the same company. It's the same situation. Do you have any vacancies?"

Hearing this, Gu Heng glanced at the trunk that was filled with things, and then asked, "Is your friend fat?"

"Not fat, what's wrong?"

"If she's not fat, she should be able to squeeze in. Then you can ask her to prepare as well."

"Brother! Love you!"

As the call was hung up, Gu Xinran, who was far away in Shanghai, jumped up from his workstation, rushed to another workstation, and shouted: "Miaomiao! We can go back now!!"

After Gu Xinran finished yelling, Tao Miaomiao, who was quietly working on a spreadsheet in front of the computer, seemed not to have heard it. She looked indifferent and didn't even move her eyelids. She was still typing on the keyboard seriously, her eyes wide open, and the twin ponytails on both sides of her neck jumped up and down with the amplitude of the keyboard typing.
Seeing Tao Miaomiao ignoring him, Gu Xinran did not get anxious, but began to count silently in his mind out of habit.

As the cry of "Three Gangs" in her heart ended, Tao Miaomiao, who had been working seriously the last second, suddenly turned around and stood up, grabbing Gu Xinran's hand with excitement on her face. Her natural baby face coupled with her current surprised expression made her look indescribably cute and naive.

Gu Xinran: “.”

I have been roommates with Tao Miaomiao for three years, and I have long known that sometimes when she is fully focused on something and is interrupted, her reaction time can be as long as three seconds.

But if it were someone else, they would probably be startled by her sudden action.
Thinking of this, Gu Xinran also complained: "Miaomiao, your reaction time is getting longer and longer. When I first met you, it was only one second, but now it has become three seconds."

Listening to Gu Xinran's complaints, Tao Miaomiao lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, and a touch of pink appeared on her innocent face.
Gu Xinran was already used to her roommate and best friend blushing after just three sentences, so she shook her head and said, "My brother just called me and said he's coming to pick me up. Hurry up and pack your things. Let's go report to our supervisor and go home soon!"

"Yeah, I'll go after I finish this form."

After saying that, he turned around again, sat down at his workstation, stared at the keyboard quickly,
Hearing her soft and weak voice, Gu Xinran was helpless and could only honestly return to his workstation to put some things that needed to be packed into his small bag, and then propped up his chin and waited for Tao Miaomiao to finish the work at hand.
She knew her best friend very well. Although she looked weak, pale, young and thin, she was so stubborn that even nine bulls could not pull her back.
