03 Zhang Ran
03 Zhang Ran
It is not without reason that Gu Jinhui suddenly skipped class and went home.
He received a text message from Zhang Ran returning to China at noon, and resolutely decided to skip class to attend the "Phantom of Clothes" spring and summer fashion global conference to be held in the afternoon. Its chief designer is Zhang Ran, who has always cared for him.
When it comes to Zhang Ran, one must mention the Zhang family. The relationship between the Zhang family and the Gu family has a long history.
Gu Shanglin's father, that is, Gu Jinting's grandfather and Zhang Ran's grandfather started a business and made a fortune together, sharing weal and woe, and they are very close brothers with different surnames.In Gu Shanglin's generation, although it is not as good as the brotherhood of the previous generation, the business cooperation and interest exchanges are very close, and the relationship with the children is very good.
Moreover, Zhang Ran's father, Zhang Ruisheng, fell in love with Gu Jinting, the second son of the Gu family, and both parties intended to match Zhang Ran and Gu Jinting so that the two families could get closer.
Whether Zhang Ran and Gu Jinting, childhood sweethearts, will be able to achieve true results is still unknown, but it is certain that the third son, Gu Jinhui, has a great admiration for his sister Zhang Ran.
Ruan Fanghua returned to the Gu family's mansion several years after marrying Gu Shanglin. At that time, her elder brother Gu Jinbiao was ready to go abroad, Gu Jinting was still studying, and Gu Jinhui, who hadn't started elementary school, didn't kiss anyone in the mansion.Gu Shanglin's career is booming, and it is difficult to spare too much time for his wife and children. What Gu Jinhui resents the most is that Ruan Fanghua is busy every day, taking care of his ex-husband's son, Shen Junhang, who is about to enter junior high school.
In the big empty house, there are only three or two servants and housekeepers to take care of the house. There are no parents, brothers, or partners. Gu Jinhui spent his childhood in such boundless loneliness and sadness.
Fortunately, he met Zhang Ran.
This sister Zhang Ran, who is not a few years younger than Gu Jinting, often comes to the mansion to play. Her situation is similar to that of Gu Jinhui, and there is no one at home, so she simply comes to Gu Jinting's house to have a meal and study with Gu Jinting on the way.Later, knowing that Gu Jinhui was bored by himself, he came over to tease him.
Zhang Ran likes to buy all kinds of toys for Gu Jinhui, including Transformers remote control car models, and sometimes even Barbie dolls.As a girl, Zhang Ran also likes desserts very much. Every time he makes a new dessert in the kitchen, poor Gu Jinhui will be the guinea pig, and after several improvements, it becomes a gift that pleases Gu Jinting.
Later, when he grew up, Zhang Ran began to harm Gu Jinhui with clothes.From the design to the production of a set of clothes, Zhang Ran single-handedly handles them. The men's and women's clothes are all handmade. Gu Jinhui is the model for her to try them on.Gu Jinhui was somewhat helpless, but every time he let Zhang Ran make troubles.Whenever the clothes become more and more beautiful and fashionable, Gu Jinhui is happier than anyone else.
Zhang Ran has completed her studies and returned to China, and has already made some achievements. How could she miss Gu Jinhui in her first domestic press conference.
It's nothing to miss the afternoon class, I'm afraid that my father and second brother will disagree.
It's good now, a Shen Junhang messed up all his plans, and even angered his father.
Gu Jinhui looked at the time, feeling restless.
He grabbed his school uniform jacket and didn't intend to go back to his room to change. He walked out and said loudly: "Dad, stop talking, you can do whatever you want when I come back!"
"Gu Jinhui, stop for me!"
Gu Shanglin threw his cup up, and the water in the cup splashed Gu Jinhui's trousers.
"What's the use of going to the press conference? A student should do what a student should do. It's fine for your second brother to go, and Mrs. Zhang didn't invite you by name. Going there will only embarrass me!"
"Dad!" Gu Jinhui seemed to have been poked into a sore spot, and couldn't keep his face off. "What is my relationship with Sister Zhang Ran? I haven't tried any of the clothes she designed. If it weren't for the fact that I'm a student, I should be doing the catwalk now instead of..."
Gu Shanglin raised his hand and slapped him, and shouted: "Nizi, how could you have such an idle thought!"
Gu Jinhui, who was slapped by his father, covered half of his face, wanting to cry.
At this time, Gu Jinting and Shen Junhang went downstairs one after the other, Gu Jinhui was slightly taken aback, and suddenly became angry.Pointing at Shen Junhang, he shouted: "What about him, what is he, why should he show off his power in front of me! He is just a restaurant owner, he has no right to stay in the Gu family!"
Shen Junhang, who was being scolded by name and surname, lost his expression, and his fingers clasped the railing of the stairs so hard that his phalanges turned white.
It was one thing for the two of them to quarrel alone just now, but now facing Gu Shanglin and Gu Jinting, it is another feeling for Gu Jinhui to express his dislike for him so clearly, like being slapped in the face on the street.
He always believed that Gu Jinhui and him were blood brothers after all, if Gu Jinhui hated him, scolded him, beat him up, the story would end.He thought that Gu Jinhui had a child's heart, and the eldest and young master had a bad temper, so there was no obstacle between brothers.
What a self-deceiving idea, Gu Jinhui hated him to the bone.What he did was wrong, and what he didn't do was wrong. His appearance and existence were all wrong to Gu Jinhui.
Others don't care about him, and chasing after him is not a business, so why should he force others.
"First, I do run a restaurant; second, there is no distinction between high and low professions, you can despise me, but you can't insult my profession; third, I stay at Gu's family to mourn my mother, there is no other purpose. Gu Jinhui, you are very impulsive now."
"You..." Just as Gu Jinhui was about to speak, he was suddenly dragged down on the sofa by Gu Jinting.
"Is it enough?" Gu Jinting reprimanded with a sullen face.
"Second brother, he is bullying me, and you don't even help me!" Gu Jinhui felt wronged, his eyes were red.
"He's your brother too."
Hearing Gu Jinting's words, Shen Junhang who was standing at the stairs suddenly sneered, turned and went back to his room.
The sound of Gu Jinhui crying and making a fuss was vaguely heard downstairs. Shen Junhang felt annoyed, so he simply turned on the stereo and TV in the room, randomly selected a channel, and turned on the TV to the loudest.
Inside is the live broadcast of the "Phantom of Clothes" spring and summer fashion global conference. Shen Junhang's mind is not on the TV, and it doesn't matter what the TV is broadcasting.
The press conference had just started, and many celebrities joined in to add to the fun. Faced with media interviews, they all expressed their love for the brand, and even some were willing to become the exclusive spokesperson of the brand for free, and all kinds of praise were beyond words.
They are all kinds of official polite words, extremely hypocritical.
The finale is the chief designer of this spring and summer fashion.The bold and avant-garde nude lace floor-to-ceiling dress, the simple streamlined design perfectly outlines the curvy and beautiful figure of women.Gorgeous but not gaudy makeup, fluffy big wavy hair, not too much jewelry matching, more showing the aristocratic temperament set off by the dress.
It's so much better than those celebrities who deliberately dress up.
Zhang Ran affectionately held the male model's arm and faced the reporters' flashlights, with a polite and proper smile without showing his teeth.
She slowly stepped onto the stage with her long skirt in hand, answering all kinds of sharp questions calmly.
"Miss Zhang decided that this spring and summer debut will be in City A instead of Paris and New York in the past. Is there any deep meaning?"
"City A is a fashion city comparable to Paris and New York. 'Neon Clothes' can be launched in Paris and New York, of course, it can also be in City A. And this fashion theme incorporates a lot of Chinese elements. I hope that after the press conference, 'Neon Clothes' 'It can become the vane of China and even the fashion industry."
"Of course, city A is my hometown, so I have a little selfishness."
After finishing speaking, the reporters in the audience all gave a very cooperative and understanding smile.
"Then, Ms. Zhang, you have already become the chief designer of 'Neon Clothes' at a young age. Has the industry ever questioned you for taking advantage of the power of the Zhang Group to take the opportunity?"
The reporter asked blatantly, but Zhang Ran just smiled lightly. "If you don't believe my designs, please experience more in the following fashion show. I am fully sure that I can use the beauty of the clothes I design to capture everyone's attention."
Zhang Ran's answer was confident and imposing, and it paved the way for the presentation later.
"The industry is looking forward to this press conference, why don't Ms. Zhang introduce the highlights of this design for us first."
……
When Gu Jinting knocked on the door and came in, Shen Junhang had already fallen asleep leaning on the bed.
Gu Jinting fixed his eyes on Zhang Ran on the TV, pulled out the remote control in Shen Junhang's hand to turn off the TV, then lifted the thin quilt on the bed to cover him before leaving lightly.
Shen Junhang fell asleep for a while, and woke up from hunger.
Not to mention that he didn't eat at noon, he also lost a lot in the fight with Gu Jinhui, and he completely forgot about it just now because he was so angry, he was already hungry, and his stomach was so empty that he felt uncomfortable.
I went downstairs to look for food in the kitchen by myself, but Uncle Zhong bumped into me and said embarrassingly that I was hungry.
Uncle Zhong pushed him to the dining room, and said kindly: "Go to the dining room, the master and the second young master are also here, and we just happen to eat together."
Shen Junhang's expression was slightly embarrassed, he rubbed his face and walked out.
Uncle Zhong didn't stop him, but said carefully behind him: "Master Junhang, don't blame the third young master too much. The third young master lived alone when he was a child, and the master, wife, and two elder brothers could not spend much time with him. To some extent it is a complaint. He is young and cannot understand some things, but when he grows up, he will understand."
Shen Junhang turned his head and gave Uncle Zhong a deep look, but did not respond to his words, his silence made Uncle Zhong sigh again.
"The third young master has been grounded during this period, so we will inevitably meet each other. It is better not to have any more conflicts."
"There won't be any more." Shen Junhang said softly, he had already walked out of Uncle Zhong's sight.
When preparing the meal, the three people in the dining room were silent.
Gu Shanglin cut a cigar, took a puff and held it between his fingers, and then stopped smoking.He stared at Shen Junhang's quiet face in a daze.
Shen Junhang's appearance mostly followed Ruan Fanghua's, especially his eyes and mouth, and when he smiled, he had the same dimples as Ruan Fanghua, which was very cute.
Gu Shanglin had met Shen Junhang from a distance several times before, loved Wu Jiwu, and had a good impression of him.
"Junhang, there is a charity reception tonight, you can go with Jin Ting." Gu Shanglin's voice was low, with an air of prestige without anger, but the tone was distinct and soft.
Shen Junhang didn't understand his intentions, not to mention that he had never been to this kind of high society gathering, his status was not embarrassing, if he went, he might leave people with criticism and discredit the Gu family.
If Gu Shanglin intends to pull him into their circle, what is his purpose? There is no profit for him at all, and it is not worth Gu Shanglin's effort to deal with it.If it's just for his own good, and to help him make friends with nobles, then it's unnecessary. He is very satisfied with the class he lives in now, and has no interest in high society at all.
Shen Junhang secretly spurned himself in his heart, sure enough, after staying in Gu's house for a long time, his thoughts would become complicated, and he couldn't help trying to figure out other people's goals in everything he did.
Maybe it's being narrow-minded.
Shen Junhang thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Uncle Gu, thank you for your kindness, I'll forget it."
"You don't need to worry." Gu Shanglin took a puff of cigarette, his eyes were uncompromising. "It's just a charity reception, and there is an auction to raise money. You are doing charity in your mother's name, which is also a blessing for her."
Gu Shanglin moved Ruan Fanghua out, and Shen Junhang seemed to have to do as he said.Although he complied with Gu Shanglin's request, he felt uncomfortable.
As a result, each meal was extremely depressing.
The author has something to say: The "evil rich man" Hang Baobao looked contemptuously.
Gu Big Bad Wolf hugged him, "Baby is now a wicked rich man"
Hang Baobao pouted "It's the other way around"
"Yes yes yes, the evil rich man is yours"
The blushing Hang Baby "..."
