Chapter 116: The top student’s little Desktop Pet 10 (part 1 of 2)
Beauty can be deceiving. Shen Tong, who had unexpectedly been momentarily fascinated by this smile, couldn’t help but reach out to hold his hand too, and immediately introduced himself afterwards: “.…..I’m Shen Tong.”
Gu Qiange slender, strong and distinct hands were as attractive as his smile, which conveys a feeling of calmness and stability. Shen Tong, who quickly returned to his senses after holding onto Gu Qiange’s hands, subconsciously pursed his lips and attempted to withdraw his hand.
This type of polite handshake is done with a brief contact followed by a withdrawal, yet Shen Tong was actually unable to successfully take his hand back.
Gu Qiange held the youth’s hand in a tight grip, just like grasping onto a long lost treasure, and held it for no less than 4 to 5 seconds before slightly loosening his hold. So, Shen Tong took this opportunity and forcibly pulled his hand back. Fortunately, Gu Qiange didn’t persist anymore, which finally allowed him to successfully break free.
But before breaking away, Shen Tong clearly felt Gu Qiange draw a circle at the center of his palm with his index finger. With an obvious teasing meaning, the neither light nor heavy touch brought a tingly feeling, causing an agitating feeling in his body, that he couldn’t help but glare at Gu Qiange.
But Gu Qiange still had a very serious and calm expression on his face. As if he hadn’t drawn on his hand or notice his glare at all. He only diligently answered the question mother Shen had asked just a moment ago: “I haven’t. I have only heard of Tong Tong’s matter through Baiji.”
In order to curry favor with the future brother-in-law, Gu Qiange even used this intimate address of Baiji which he had never used before. Then said in a way that avoids the important matters and dwell on the trivial ones: “Which was why I had always been curious as to what Tong Tong looks like, and having seen him today, I actually realized that he looks exactly as how I imagined he would be. I instantly felt very fond and a feeling of closeness at first sight, which temporarily made me a bit excited……”
The great top student even played the emotional card: “In fact, I’ve always wanted to have a younger brother. My parents have always been busy with research for as long as I can recall, and would very rarely stay at home. I’ll be faced with a big empty house all by myself everyday after school, so I’ve always dreamed of having a younger brother like Tong Tong to be at my side……”
His magnetic voice was tinged with loneliness, his expression also had just the right amount of melancholia, which can simply allow him to be nominated for an Oscar award. As he was actually able to successfully fool mother Shen, who had a very vast experience in the business world.
Since she greatly wanted to obtain a cooperation with Gu Qiange, mother Shen naturally knew about his life experiences and family background ahead of time. She also knew that his parents were both very influential scientists and well-known academicians, participating in quite a lot of national projects, that they didn’t even have enough time to do experiments in normal times, let alone spending time with their family.
So when mother Shen looked at both her sons, then at Gu Qiange’s lonely expression once more, her heart instantly become flooded with motherly love. But the great older brother dissatisfaction increasingly grew, that his brows became more furrowed and deep.
Damn it, someone was actually trying to rob his little brother out in the open!!
When Kong Baiji had just met him before, he felt that Gu Qiange was still reliable in handling matters even if he was unsociable and arrogant. But his looks had somehow become displeasing to the eyes now. –If he wants to find a younger brother to bring home for himself, why does he have to run over and pretend to be pitiful in order to grab someone else’s younger brother? This is simply intolerable and unbearable!
But in order to increase the chances of getting a cooperation with Gu Qiange a bit more, mother Shen unexpectedly sold her son straight away: “Since Mr. Gu feels close to Tong Tong, if you don’t dislike it, you can just directly treat him as a younger brother. I’m sure he’ll also feel happy to have another older brother.”
Gu Qiange’s eyes immediately showed a surprise look. Then, with an especially sincere expression set on his face, and utilizing his ultimate smile as well, “How could I dislike it? I would only be more than happy to.”
But Shen Tong and Kong Baiji silently muttered in their hearts at the same time: I’m sorry for disliking it very much.
Mother Shen felt very elated, not only because of the chance to cooperate, but more of from a motherly point of view. She knows the temperament of her son very well, which is a silly sweet, just like her husband, who is only suitable for studying and not business management, and could never be taught. Her eldest son can only be expected to fully take over the business company, and then set aside half of the shares to her young naive son as dividends. But Shen Tong’s academic performance was truly very good. He was also very fond of studying, and would frequently declare his desire to be a university teacher. Gu Qiange had completed his undergraduate course from the best university in the country, so his status and connections in the academic field are unquestionable. In less than several days since his return from abroad, quite a lot of universities and colleges had given him an olive branch to be a guest lecturer. Since Shen Tong wants to step into the road of the academic field, to be able to associate with Gu Qiange will garner him a lot of advantages without any drawbacks.
