People in Zongman: Building a foundation to accommodate all worlds

After leaving Sobu High School, Gu Zeyuan prepared to return to his apartment.

Halfway through the walk, I suddenly received a call.

So, I simply changed the route midway.

In front of an unknown family restaurant, a young girl dressed somewhat shabbily was waiting silently.

When Gu Zeyuan came nearby, he saw the girl at first sight.

She attracted everyone's attention just by standing there.

Gu Zeyuan walked over.

Seeing Gu Zeyuan approaching, the girl gave a standard smile, as if she had rehearsed it many times.

"Let's go."

Gu Zeyuan said nothing and took the girl into the restaurant.

After sitting down, Gu Zeyuan asked her, "What do you want to eat?"

Hoshino Ai was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"I don't..."

As I was talking, my stomach made a rumbling sound.

Hoshino Ai choked all of a sudden.

I didn't expect that my lies would be exposed by my body's instinct... 0

Gu Zeyuan simply pushed the menu over.

Hoshino Ai ordered the cheapest set meal.

Family restaurants usually serve rice bowls, but Hoshino Ai didn't order any.

"Don't you like rice?"

Gu Zeyuan asked casually.

Hoshino Ai, who was sitting opposite, nodded.

"Because my mother used to mix sand and glass into rice, I was a little disgusted."

She was smiling when she said this.

Gu Zeyuan paused.

What did this fourteen-year-old girl experience in her childhood?

(The timeline has been changed here. Hoshino Ai's mother was imprisoned when she was young, maybe six, seven or eight years old? She became an idol at the age of twelve, but this is too young, so let's just change it to fourteen.)

"So, your mother was sent to a detention center and will most likely stay in prison for a few years in the future. This seems to be a good thing."

Gu Zeyuan said so.

Hoshino Ai looked at Gu Zeyuan.

"Maybe... I will be sent to an orphanage, and even if my mother is released from prison, she probably won't come to see me."

Unexpectedly, Gu Zeyuan saw a little sadness.

This is quite strange.

Her mother, who abused her since she was a child, was locked up, so at least she doesn't have to suffer anymore.

Most people will be happy.

But now it seems...

It seems that the name suits the person.

She is pursuing love and hopes to be loved, even by a mother like that.

"Are you saying this to make me back off?"

Gu Zeyuan's fingers tapped regularly on the table.

Hoshino Ai is a smart girl. She naturally knows that what she is saying now will make normal people feel disgusted and repulsed.

Because, no matter what, a girl from such a tragic family sounds like trouble.

Hoshino Ai nodded.

Silence fell between the two.

The food was served.

Hoshino Ai picked up the chopsticks and ate bit by bit.

But, the way of holding chopsticks is weird.

But you'll know if you think about it.

With a mother like that, what kind of education could Hoshino Ai receive in her childhood?

I guess no one taught her how to use chopsticks.

"Hoshino Ai."

Gu Zeyuan called out.

Hoshino Ai raised her head.

Then, she saw Gu Zeyuan pick up the chopsticks beside him.

"Put your index finger here, support it with the palm of your hand, and then use these two fingers to exert force."

Hoshino Ai was confused for a moment, then she realized that Gu Zeyuan was teaching her how to use chopsticks.

Following Gu Zeyuan's example, she tried it.

It became much smoother.

At this moment, Gu Zeyuan reached out and held her hand.

"This is not right. It will be awkward to exert force like this. Like this..."

Feel the warmth from my fingertips, the hands-on teaching, and the careful and patient explanations.

Hoshino Ai doesn't understand.

Why does the person in front of me want to do this?

"why?"

Hoshino Ai asked.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zeyuan just smiled.

"You called, right?"

Although after Hoshino Ai arrived, she tried to use words to make Gu Zeyuan give up.

But, at least she tried.

that's enough.

"Normal people won't hurt you. Love is not a luxury. Even though it may be hard for you to accept it for a while..."

"But change is a good thing, so take it slow."

Gu Zeyuan said with a smile.

(My dear readers, monthly tickets are still very important, please beg for them! There are also rewards and reminders! Giving free flowers and comments is also a great support for Sanqi! Thank you all readers!).

Chapter 72 Adopting Hoshino Ai and New Neighbors

"Change is a good thing...?"

Hoshino Ai repeated it.

Those starry eyes that would attract other people's attention lit up at this moment.

For Hoshino Ai, change means the unknown.

And the unknown...is usually painful.

If you act rashly and make changes, you will usually be beaten by your mother, starve to death, and suffer.

Countless past experiences are advising Hoshino Ai.

Don't change, live a familiar lie.

But, at this moment, Hoshino Ai decided to... give it a try.

What if?

Use chopsticks to eat the food.

Although Hoshino's gesture of holding chopsticks is still a little awkward, it is much better than before.

Then she looked at Gu Zeyuan.

"Have you made a decision?" Gu Zeyuan asked with a smile.

Hoshino Ai nodded.

"Please take me away, anything is fine."

This sounds easy to be misunderstood.

But, Hoshino Ai is serious.

Anything is fine.

Gu Zeyuan was a little amused.

"Although change is a good thing, don't burn your boats so hard. You are still young and have plenty of time to try."

He reached out and ruffled Hoshino Ai's hair.

Afterwards, Gu Zeyuan brought Hoshino Ai to a corporate company under the foundation.

The prototype has already been established here, and all resources are complete, but it has not yet been put into operation.

The boss in charge here is named Kyoko Saito, and she is a management talent recruited by the foundation some time ago.

His identity within the foundation is a C-level manager, and externally he is the boss of the 'Umbrella' agency.

I am also a beautiful 30-year-old woman.

When Saito Kyoko saw Gu Zeyuan, her eyes widened and she looked a little frightened.

"President." Saito Kyoko greeted.

Gu Zeyuan waved his hand.

"Don't be so formal. When not on a mission, we are all colleagues."

Saito Kyoko was a little surprised when she heard this.

This guy... is the boss of that unfathomable organization, yet he is so easy-going?

Gu Zeyuan's identity does not need to be kept secret within the foundation, he is the only O5 councilor known to everyone.

This design is purposeful.

First of all, if there are forces hostile to the Foundation, most of their targets will inevitably fall on Gu Zeyuan.

Compared to the Foundation, Gu Zeyuan is actually more difficult to target.

Secondly, there is the current situation.

Gu Zeyuan's identity needs no explanation, so it is very convenient for him to act.

"Ms. Kyoko, starting tomorrow, the 'Umbrella' agency will be officially operational."

"We will focus on her, allocate resources, and create an idol. The goal is to make her a national idol and the best in the world."

Upon hearing this, Saito Kyoko looked at the girl that Gu Zeyuan was holding.

Some young girls wear cheap clothes. Does the president want to promote such people to become national idols?

The original plan of 'Umbrella' company was to use the money to buy some well-known idols, actors, etc.
