With a light kiss on the top of Yue Fei's gland seal, Gu Wei tucked the person in the blanket, got up, took the tablet to the side bar and sat down, and continued to process the emails from the two secretaries.
Compensation, condolences, apology, laboratory progress, Gu Group's attitude...
Reading through the current problems, Gu Wei methodically issued tasks to the subordinates for when he returned to the Gu Group to clean up the mess.
The next day, the Gu Group meeting room.
"It was just a Beta who died."
Gu Tiansheng's arrogant speech has been shared on the Internet. The Gu Group's contempt for the rights and interests of the beta has caused the beta human rights committee to speak publicly, saying that if there is no satisfactory answer, it will boycott all the Gu's industries.
If this matter had not been exposed in front of the public, it would only be seen that Gu Tiansheng was just being impulsive on the moment, but now that it had been exposed to the public, the Gu Group's response would determine their reputation among the beta community in the next few years.
Instructing the secretary to close the video, He Yinyin said: "The simplest solution to this is actually to disclose Xiao Fei's identity."
"He is a beta, and you, as the next person in charge of the Gu Family, have a beta as a partner, which best reflects our Gu Family of not discriminating against betas."
The people on the board of directors basically knew about Yue Fei's existence. Hearing He Yinyin's words at this moment, they all felt that it was an excellent plan.
Even Gu Wei, using purely rational analysis, felt that He Yinyin's idea was indeed the most effective and labor-saving solution.
At first, he also thought about this method, but...
"I disagree."
For the first time, when dealing with the company's affairs, Gu Wei gave up his rational thinking.
He didn't want Yue Fei to be involved in such matters, not to mention the fact that he knew that Yue Fei's delayed differentiation. Under this circumstance, it was not a good thing to disclose Yue Fei's identity to the world and to use Yue Fei's previous beta status.
This was his battlefield, Yue Fei only needed to stand behind him.
"It was my father who said that sentence at the beginning. It is he that needs to apologize to the public. I will also speak on behalf of the group's board of directors. Others are not necessary."
"Compared to using my partner's identity to divert the public's focus, I think it is more urgent to find out the cause of the accident, determine the responsibility, and give the public an explanation. Don't you think so?"
On the board of directors, Gu Wei had always had the final saying in everything.
"We have no opinions."
"Resolving this matter as soon as possible is the key."
"Big Brother hasn't shown up since the accident. He really needs to come out and re-state his position. Sister-in-law, you have to persuade him."
"No, we need to meet Big Brother in the afternoon. He can't always ask us to clean up every time he makes a mess. We have seen how much Gu Wei has done for the Gu Family over the years."
...
He Yinyin glanced at Gu Wei and smiled soothingly: "Don't worry, with Gu Wei around, this matter will definitely be resolved soon."
After the meeting was over, He Yinyin, who was sitting next to Gu Wei, did not leave. Gu Wei also sat in the same position, knowing she had something to say.
When there were only two people left in the conference room, He Yinyin said: "I know that you and Xiao Fei are in a good relationship, but I didn't expect that you would be emotional when dealing with company affairs. With the current public opinion, what the public wants to see is not the truth of the accident; but, it's the Gu Group's attitude towards betas. I don't believe you can't even see this."
Gu Wei frowned: "Mom, you haven't been to the company for a long time. You may not be used to it. Within the company, the decision I made will never change."
"I don't want to interfere, I just want you to think carefully." He Yinyin said in a light tone, "This time your father could cause such a disaster. Was it not because you have to abandon the company business and go on a honeymoon."
Gu Wei chuckled lightly: "Mom, I know what I'm doing."
"Compared to mine, I think you may need to pay more attention to Second Brother's situation."
...
"Perhaps my dad always thinks it doesn't matter if I die."
In the bar, Gu Xing was drinking, and next to him were his drinking friends.
"From childhood to adulthood, I have always been an invisible person in his eyes, no matter if I am doing well or not, he never cares about me."
The person, who had just coaxed to ask Gu Xing about the Gu Group's situation, was extremely embarrassed at this moment.
"Hey, don't talk about this. We came to the bar to hang out, thinking that would not do us any good. We don't even have the rights to inherit."
Those who can hang out with Gu Xing are people in their generation who have no inheritance rights.
"What's good about being a person in power? Every day is a working day, working yourself to die. I would rather be the rich good-for-nothing, at least I get to live leisurely." Gu Xing said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, whoever seldom inherits rights, I don't want it too."
"Hahaha, let them work hard to make money, and we just spend as much money."
Raising his head and drinking the wine in the glass, Gu Xing watched the lights flickering in the distance, his eyes turned cold.
Even if his parents valued the alpha son most, Gu Wei's partner was still just a beta.
"Hey, I heard that your third brother has become a partner with a beta. Is it true? Are your parents okay with it?"
Suddenly, someone in the deck surged up a gossip.
"Really? Gu Wei and a beta?"
"I'm not too surprised, with his attitude towards omegas, I really can't think of how he gets along with omega."
"I'm a little curious about the beta that Gu Wei is interested in."
"Second Brother, you must have seen him already, call him to come out and play with us, it's just us betas, please satisfy our curiosity."
"Yes, Second Brother, only you can call him out here, please call him to come out so we can take a look."
Gu Xing did not answer.
"Aren't you embarrassing Second Brother? He may not have the beta's contact information, don't give him a hard time. After all, although they are both betas, Second Brother might not inherit as much as Third Brother's partner in the future."
"True, after all, he is Gu Wei's partner, it's still different."
These people did not care of the consequences of their actions, so they decided to use all methods to provoke Ge Xing's pride. Gu Xing could read their thoughts, but he also remembered that a heartbroken Lu Lin could only stay in a foreign country because of Gu Wei, so he smiled: " Isn't it just calling him over, it's not a problem."
When he was receiving an unknown number call, Yue Fei was studying hard in his study room.
"Second Brother?"
Hearing the voice of the other party, Yue Fei was very surprised, because Gu Xing was not very friendly to him.
"Xiao Fei, can you come over to Glacier Bar now?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Um... I'm a little drunk, come and pick me up."
This jackass reason? They were not very familiar with each other, right...Yue Fei frowned: "Then I can ask the driver to come picking you up, right?"
When the other party heard the words, he paused for a moment, then spoke again, Gu Xing's voice was a little bit displeased.
"Heh, just come to pick me up, you don't want to? Or do you think I'm just a beta, and I don't have the rights to speak in the Gu Family, so you don't want to have anything to do with me?"
Yue Fei was shocked by the depression in his tone, thinking of the news of Gu Tiansheng he saw during the day. If Gu Tiansheng had such a view on beta, then Gu Xing in his eyes was not not anything special to him. Maybe the other was calling him because Gu Xing thought of him as a beta, and they might share common language.
Thinking about it this way, Yue Fei did not have a heart to refuse: "You have misunderstood, Second Brother, please send me the location, I will come over now."
Because Gu Wei was busy with the company, he had already told him in advance that he would be back late tonight. Therefore, Yue Fei didn't tell Gu Wei that he went out, so he called the driver to take him to the bar.
Glacier Bar was about half an hour's drive from Nanwan Xiang District, and Yue Fei arrived at the place soon.
Prior to coming to this world, Yue Fei would occasionally work part-time in a bar, so he was fairly calm about the bar environment, and was occasionally accosted while looking for Gu Xing, and he was able to avoid those with intentions smoothly.
Soon, Yue Fei saw Gu Xing in the deck on the very back, and there were many strange faces with Gu Xing.
"Second Brother?"
Yue Fei approached and called out behind Gu Xing.
Gu Xing turned his head and saw him, the corners of his mouth curved up, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"This is the beta?"
"Wow, you actually were able to call him out."
"He really does not look that great, this is your third brother's taste?"
"Totally inferior to Lu Lin, what did Third Brother think?"
...
The discussion with no suppressed voice made Yue Fei frown: "Didn't you say that you were drunk and asked me to pick you up? Second brother, I think you are quite sober."
Hearing that someone got up and screamed at Yue Fei: "If you want to take Gu Xing home, you can, after finishing these two glasses."
"Since you're already here, make some friends, sit down and play for a while."
Strictly speaking, Yue Fei didn't care much about Gu Xing's well-being, not to mention the way Gu Xing was just sitting to watch on the excitement now; he looked totally fine to him.
Without saying a word, Yue Fei turned around and left. Garbage Gu Xing wasted his precious study time, he could have done a few more problems instead of coming here and back.
However, as soon as he turned around, someone immediately stood in front of him.
Yue Fei raised her eyebrows: "Are you trying to do something to me?"
Everyone knew that he had Gu Wei backing him up, and if they tried to do something to him, weren't they looking for death?
The person who stopped him didn't touch him, but just held up a glass of wine and handed it in front of him: "You came to Glacier but left without tasting anything. Isn't it a pity?"
Yue Fei: "Gu Wei said to not accept any unknown source of drinks from strangers."
"Oh, you still have to call him to complain?" Lu Cheng was Lu Lin's cousin, and his dissatisfaction with Yue Fei went deeper than just a beta disliked another beta. He really couldn't understand why Gu Wei can't see the excellency in his older cousin, but fell in love with such a useless beta who has no background, no ability, and no value.
Yue Fei blinked his eyes when he heard that: "What you said makes sense."
With that said, Yue Fei fished out his phone and dialed the number.
They did not expect Yue Fei to be such a prideless person, acting like a student who lost in a fight then came running to complain to the teacher.
"Don't talk nonsense, not like we don't let you go..."
Lu Cheng was afraid of Gu Wei. He thought that Yue Fei didn't have the guts to tell Gu Wei what happened here, but now it seemed everything did not go the way he had imagined.
"Hello, big brother." The people who had froze because of Yue Fei's action, suddenly felt relieved when they heard who he called. Only Gu Xing was the one who suddenly looked at Yue Fei.
"Second Brother said he was drunk and asked me to come to the bar to pick him up, but he was not drunk at all, and he wouldn't go back with me, he even made people stop me from going home."
"Okay, I'll hand him the phone."
Yue Fei walked towards Gu Xing.
"Big Brother wants to talk to you."
The expression on Gu Xing's face was distorted for a moment, but he did not refuse.
"Hello..."
No one knew what Gu Weii and Gu Xing had said. Yue Fei watched Gu Xing's face turn from white to red and blue, like a color palette changing its color. He quickly averted his gaze, because he was afraid that he would not be able to hold his own laughter if he kept on looking.
"Understood."
Hanging up the phone, Gu Xing got up from the deck, walked to Yue Fei, and returned the phone to him.
"Let's go, I'll take you back." He said with gritted teeth.
The people on the side saw him and hushed: "Second Brother, you don't have any guts at all, First Brother is not Gu Wei, you are already scared of this omega."
Hearing the words, Gu Xing turned his head coldly, kicked the seat on the sofa where the speaker was sitting, causing it to crook.
"Are you looking for death?"
Everyone was silent.
Everyone loves to ridicule and to stab others behind their back as long as that does not touch the bottom line, but once the bottom line is reached, the Gu Family behind Gu Xing is his confidence in all his actions. Today, everyone dared to ask Yue Fei to come out to be ridiculed by them, but it was actually because Gu Xing was here.
Now Gu Xing's attitude had changed, and of course others dared not joke anymore.
Yue Fei followed behind Gu Xing in silence, the two got into the car waiting outside the door together.
"Hhm, Big Brother cares a lot about you."
In the car, Gu Xing said in an ambivalent tone.
Yue Fei: "Maybe because I don't trick my own family."
Gu Xing turned his head to look at him with a cold face: "Who is a family with you?"
"Gu Wei and I are a family, you and Gu Wei are a family, we both are not a family, are we not," Yue Fei reasoned.
From the very beginning, Gu Xing, who had been keeping his opinion, finally spoke: "...Don't think I don't know the trickery between the two of you, he is not even interested in omega, what makes you think he would be sexually interested in you, a beta?"
"..." Yue Fei really did not know what is the right thing to say to this. It was weird to say that Gu Wei was interested or he was not interested. "I didn't expect Second Brother to be interested in what is going on in his younger brother's bedroom."
The driver's ear in front moved lightly.
Gu Xing closed his mouth and stopped speaking.
Yue Fei turned his head and looked out the window.
Both of them were speechless on the way back.
After sending Yue Fei back to Nanwan Xiang District, the driver turned to take Gu Xing back.
Yue Fei opened the door and went in, only to find that the house was brightly lit...It was Gu Wei who had returned.
He pulled off his tie at random and put it on the sofa. Gu Wei was sitting on the sofa in the living room without changing his suit. Seeing Yue Fei coming in from the hallway after changing his shoes, he frowned slightly and asked, "Where have you been out so late?" "
