Chapter 2345: Number 2346: This car costs 120 million.
The man speaking is named Li Xingqing, and he is the principal of Gu Jingshanâs school.
And he is the director of the school, so there is a superior-subordinate relationship between them.
Beside Li Xingqing, there was also a middle-aged woman and a young man around twenty.
They are his wife, He Pingping, and his son, Li Bo.
âItâs not really up to us, weâll have to see how Gu Yiran arranges it,â Gu Jingshan said:
âSheâs going to Yuhang tonight for the New Year. When she will return to work is still unknown.â
âThis isnât a big deal,â Li Xingqing said:
âYuhang isnât far from Zhong Hai, just an hour or two. If itâs inconvenient for her to commute, let my son go pick her up.â
âUh⊠Iâll ask her about her timing when I get the chance and arrange it.â
Gu Jingshan knew very well why they had come today; they simply wanted to set up a match between their children.
But Gu Yiran had made it clear that she wouldnât accept a blind date, so he couldnât really arrange it himself.
However, since Li Xingqing was the principal, it was difficult for him to openly refuse, so he could only reluctantly agree, and how to arrange it would be a matter for later.
âWhy put it off? Didnât you just say Gu Yiran will be back soon? When she returns, discuss it and settle the matter immediately. Itâs pointless to delay, donât you think?â
âUm, okay.â
Gu Jingshan reluctantly agreed, feeling somewhat apprehensive.
His niece, although quite attractive, had a bit of a temper.
If she knew what he had arranged for her, wouldnât she turn against him, her uncle?
Li Qiao Hong, sitting nearby, saw the difficult position her husband was in, and said:
âIn previous years, when Gu Yiran returned, many schoolmates and colleagues came to see her. I donât know what her plans are this year.â
Li Qiao Hongâs words hinted at pushing off the matter.
In the world of adults, failing to agree directly is equivalent to rejection.
âThereâs always time to hang out with schoolmates and colleagues. Iâve already booked a place for us to go hiking and visit hot springs during the long holiday. Wouldnât that be wonderful?â said Li Xingqing.
âLetâs wait for Gu Yiran to return, and I will talk to her about it.â
âThatâs the spirit,â said Li Xingqing:
âOur Li Bo works at the Finance Bureau and is already a deputy head. Your familyâs Gu Yiran is also well-regarded; itâs time for them to interact more. Our families are so close; our children shouldnât become strangers.â
Gu Jingshan and Li Qiao Hong exchanged a glance, having little they could say, and could only nod in agreement.
Gu Yiran is his niece, and even if it was for a blind date, he would have to inform her parents; he couldnât decide this matter alone.
Moreover, Gu Yiran had said before that she hadnât even considered these matters yet, but they had come without a word.
When Gu Yiran returns, he didnât even know how to begin to explain.
With the highest-ranking official holding the most power, he didnât know how to refuse.
âRight, didnât you just mention Gu Yiran was going to visit a colleagueâs home? Perfect, let our Li Bo drive her there.â
âJust now I heard sheâs going with a colleague, and they are driving there together.â
âOh, sheâs riding in a colleagueâs car.â
Li Xingqing became a bit restless, âIs it a male colleague or a female colleague?â
âThatâs hard to say, there are many men and women in their office. I canât say for sure whom sheâs accompanying.â
Gu Yiran, being an extroverted person, is reportedly close with several male colleagues, so at this point, Gu Jingshan could only tell the truth.
Ring Ring Ringâ
Just then, Gu Jingshanâs cell phone rang; it was Gu Yiran calling.
âUncle, Iâm almost at the front door. Iâm running a little late; could you bring the things downstairs, heheâŠâ
âSure, Iâm coming down now.â
âHehe, thank you, uncle. When I come back, Iâll get a bottle of wine from my dad to make it up to you.â
âYou little rascal,â Gu Jingshan replied with a laugh, âWait for me downstairs.â
After hanging up the phone, the attention of the whole family turned to Gu Jingshan.
âWhat happened, is Gu Yiran back?â
âHe said heâs in a hurry, asking me to bring the stuff down.â
âThen letâs go now, I heard heâs going to see their leader, we canât delay this.â
âThatâs perfect, we should leave too, and take a look at Gu Yiran on the way.â
âSit for a while longer, stay for lunch.â
Gu Jingshan politely said.
âI have other things this afternoon, letâs catch up another day when Gu Yiran is back.â
âThatâs alright, since you are busy, I wonât keep you.â
âWeâre all family here, no need for such formalities.â
After a quick tidy up, Gu Jingshan, carrying things, headed downstairs with both families.
Finding that Gu Yiran had not yet arrived, they started chatting leisurely downstairs.
âOld Gu, take a look at our car here; it should still be decent, right? After our trip, it shouldnât tarnish our reputation, right?â Li Xingqing pointed at his BMW 5 Series and said.
âThis car cost over 600,000, driving such a nice car definitely wonât tarnish your reputation.â Gu Jingshan said with a smile.
Their family owned a car too, but it was just a Mustang worth over 100,000, which couldnât compare with the BMW 5 Series.
Li Xingqing, feeling a bit proud, believed that buying this car was a very right decision, at least it brought a lot of face.
With the Li familyâs current conditions, thinking of becoming relatives through marriage was more than sufficient.
Just then, they suddenly heard the roaring sound.
Following the source of the sound, they saw a black sports car slowly driving towards them.
âWhat kind of car is that, must be expensive, right?â Li Xingqing said in surprise.
âDad, thatâs a Bugatti, but Iâm not sure about the model, but definitely expensive, probably several tens of millions.â Li Bo enviously said.
âActually costs tens of millions!â
The Li family, including Gu Jingshan, were astonished.
Although Zhong Hai is the wealthiest city in the country, where they lived was just an ordinary community, and most residents here were ordinary people.
It was rare enough to even see a BMW or an Audi driving by, let alone seeing a super sports car today, and such a costly one at that.
It was truly unprecedented.
âThose who can drive such cars, probably second-generation rich, as ordinary folks probably canât even afford the gas,â Li Xingqing said.
As both families watched, they were surprised to see the black sports car unexpectedly stop in front of them.
Initially, Gu Yiran hadnât planned to get out, but seeing his uncle and friends made him feel itâd be impolite not to, so he opened the car door and got out.
Seeing Gu Yiran come out of the car, everyone was greatly surprised.
âGu Yiran, this is Vice-Principal Li from our school,â Gu Jingshan introduced.
âHello, Uncle Lee,â Gu Yiran nodded, greeted him, and said nothing more.
LI Xingqing felt a bit awkward as he nodded, his gaze lingering on Lin Yi.
Wondering who the driver was.
âUncle, the stuff? Iâm in a hurry, I have to go now.â
âItâs right here.â
Gu Jingshan handed Gu Yiran a box of Old Ginseng.
âUncle, Iâll leave first, and be back soon.â
Gu Yiran, in a rush, took the stuff and turned to leave.
âHey, hey, hey, wait a moment.â
Gu Jingran pulled on Gu Yiran, and asked quietly:
âWho is the driver?â
âA colleague of mine,â Gu Yiran answered matter-of-factly.
âYour colleague?â Gu Jingshan obviously didnât believe it, âThis car must be quite expensive.â
âItâs like 1.2 billion, definitely not cheap.â
