Chapter 263 Go back
Gu Ranle didn't delay for a moment and transferred Li Shenzhi to the Gu family overnight.
Someone might come to Villa No. 5 to cause trouble at any time. Li Shenzhi was unconscious, and she had no idea what other people were thinking. To be on the safe side, she decided to arrange for him to stay in her own home and have her own people guard it, so that she could feel at ease.
She asked Captain Gao to transfer another group of people from "Gu Chengwei" for fear that something might go wrong while she was away.
At the same time, she also specifically sought the opinions of the three brothers of the Ling family, asking them if they would be willing to temporarily join the Gu family's security team.
Each of these three brothers is very skilled. With their help, the safety of the Gu family can be better guaranteed.
When the three brothers of the Ling family heard this, they were naturally very happy. After all, Gu Ranle was usually very kind to them, and their teacher was in the Gu family, so there was no reason for them not to join.
So, they were incorporated into the Gu family's security team and obeyed the arrangements of Captain Gao.
As for the wages, of course they would be paid uniformly by the Gu family. Gu Ranle had already thought about this.
By the time everything for Li Shenzhi was arranged, it was already past midnight.
Gu Ranle didn't sleep a wink the night before, and had a lot of things to do that day, so he was busy all day.
But the strange thing was that she didn't feel sleepy at all.
She knew in her heart that her time was limited, and she had to finish all the things that needed to be done and arranged while she was still here.
After taking a shower, she didn't rush to bed, but went straight to the study.
In the study, the light was soft. She sat at the desk and began to deal with some urgent matters.
I read documents one by one, handled things one by one, and before I knew it, the night had passed.
She rubbed her sore eyes, stood up and walked to the window to enjoy the cool wind, then washed her face with cold water.
The cool water splashed on her face, making her instantly more awake.
She shook the water droplets off her hands and went downstairs.
In the kitchen, Aunt Wang and several other chefs were busy.
There are many people eating at the Gu family now, and Aunt Wang can’t handle it all by herself.
The last time Gu Ranle came back, he specially arranged a few more chefs for the kitchen.
Just last night, Ling Chong recommended himself and said that he also wanted to join the chef team.
Gu Ranle thought about it and felt that it would be okay to let him try, so he asked him to go find Wang Ma. He could become a chef only if he passed the assessment. If he failed, he would continue to be his bodyguard.
At this moment, Mother Wang was testing Ling Chong.
Gu Ranle walked over and saw Ling Chong making pancakes skillfully. His technique and the temperature were both well-practiced.
The pancakes spread out on the side are golden in color and smell so fragrant that one can't help but want to take a bite.
She reached out and pinched one, brought it to her mouth and took a bite.
Well, it tastes really good, with good color, aroma and taste!
"Very good!" she couldn't help but praise.
When Ling Chong heard this, he smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss. I will continue to work hard!"
Aunt Wang also took a pancake and tasted it, then nodded, "It tastes really good, so stay and be the chef."
"Thank you, Aunt Wang!" Ling Chong was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"You can be a chef, but don't think you can get double the salary," Gu Ranle reminded.
She didn't want to spoil this kid, she had to make him understand that not everyone could take her, Gu Ranle's money.
Ling Chong smiled shamelessly and said, "I can't even think about double salary, Miss, just give me some bonus."
"Mother Wang has the final say on the reward and punishment system in the kitchen."
Gu Ranle rolled her eyes at him, took another pancake, ate it, and walked out of the kitchen.
As soon as I reached the door, I bumped into Gu Xiuyuan head-on.
Gu Xiuyuan, this kid, went crazy early in the morning and no one knew where he went. His hair was a mess like a chicken coop.
"Sister, what's delicious to eat?"
Gu Xiuyuan saw the pancake in Gu Ranle's hand at a glance, walked up to her, snatched the half-eaten pancake from her and stuffed it into his own mouth.
"Mmm, delicious!"
"Look at your worthless look!"
Gu Ranle frowned and said with disgust.
She stretched out her greasy hands and tidied Gu Xiuyuan's messy hair. "If you are too lazy to take care of it, just give it a crew cut. It will look more energetic."
"That's what I was planning!" Gu Xiuyuan took a big bite of the other pancake in Gu Ranle's hand and said, "Sister, do you have anything to do this morning? Come with me to get a haircut!"
Gu Ranle was actually quite conflicted.
She knew that the old man didn't have much time left, and she wanted to spend more time with him.
But looking at Gu Xiuyuan's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse.
"I have to accompany my grandfather in the morning. How about inviting the barber to our house?" she suggested.
Gu Xiuyuan thought about it and felt that this was fine, but he was a little worried, "It will cost a lot more money to invite someone to my house, right?"
Gu Ranle rolled her eyes and said, "I'll pay for it."
This is what I've been waiting for!
When Gu Xiuyuan heard this, he was immediately happy, "Sister, you are so nice to me!"
As he spoke, he held onto Gu Ranle's arm like a clingy person, like an arm pendant, and followed her wherever she went.
Gu Ranle looked at the funny guy beside him and shook his head helplessly.
This guy, although he is already an adult in age, his mental age is still like that of a three-year-old child. He is always in a mess and I don’t know when he will truly grow up.
She brought Gu Xiuyuan, who looked like an arm pendant, to Mr. Jiang's house.
As people get older, they naturally become less sleepy.
Mr. Jiang had gotten up a long time ago and was sitting there listening to the morning news.
When Gu Ranle entered the room, the old man was listening intently and didn't notice anyone coming in at all.
It was Jiang Wanruo who called him, and then the old man turned around and found Gu Ranle coming over.
"You went to bed so late last night, why didn't you sleep a little longer?" The old man turned off the news and said to Gu Ranle.
Gu Ranle shrugged, looking innocent, "It's just my biological clock that's playing tricks on me. I can't fall asleep after I wake up."
"I see you didn't sleep all night." The old man squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"...How is that possible!" Gu Ranle widened his eyes and denied it quickly.
"The light in your study has been on all night." The old man said slowly.
"No...then you haven't slept either?" Gu Ranle felt a little guilty, but still said stubbornly.
"Of course I slept!" The old man rolled his eyes at her.
"You were asleep, but you knew that the light in my study was on all night?" Gu Ranle asked back unconvinced.
"The light in your study was on when I was sleeping, it was still on when I woke up at night, and it was still on when I got up in the morning, so I guess you didn't sleep all night." The old man spoke very logically.
"..."
Gu Ranle was suddenly speechless. Your speculation is really reasonable and well-founded, and it is impossible to refute it.
Seeing that she remained silent, Mr. Jiang snorted coldly, "Don't take advantage of your youth to ignore your health. You dare not sleep for two nights in a row, aren't you afraid..."
He didn't say anything else, but his eyes were a little red.
Gu Ranle's heart tightened, and she quickly squatted in front of him and apologized sincerely: "Grandpa, I was wrong. I promise not to stay up late tonight and sleep well."
Grandpa Jiang sighed and raised his hand to rub her head. "Le Le, Grandpa knows that you are worried that you don't have enough time, so you want to do everything you need to do. But how can you finish everything? Your health is the capital of the revolution."
Gu Ranle was moved when she heard what her grandfather said.
She knew that her grandfather was nagging her because he really loved her.
She nodded and said, "Grandpa is right. There is always something to be done, but health is the most important thing. I will pay attention to it in the future and won't make you worry anymore."
Mr. Jiang looked at her with a relieved smile on his face, "Grandpa will be relieved now."
He paused for a moment before speaking: "Le Le, grandpa wants to go back tomorrow."
"Go back?" Gu Ranle was stunned, and then his face turned pale as if he thought of something.
Mr. Jiang rubbed her face lovingly, "When people get old, there will always be a day like that."
"But..." Gu Ranle was speechless and tears fell first.
