After a week off, Xia Zichen officially returned to work in the company, and his life was still on the same track. ˋˊ After Xia Yuze came to work in Gu's family, the location was much closer to Gu Xu's company. If you have time at night, Xia Zichen and Gu Xu would choose to have dinner with Xia Yuze. Sometimes Gu Yan would join, and the family got along more and more harmoniously.

The situation in the Lei family is still unclear. I heard that the two brothers are fighting for their family property, and both of them want to get more. The old man from the Lei family in the hospital heard that after all the previous two investments failed, he was so angry that he had a heart attack. His body, which was already in a hurry, was even worse. Now he is in a coma and is less awake.

After the news that the old man of the Lei family was almost out of power, the partners who had worked together began to retreat quietly. Those who had intended to cooperate in the past gradually became distant and even disappeared. The so-called clear person next to him, Lei Cheng and Lei Xin thought he was pretty good, but if anyone had a little brain, he could see that the Lei family without Mr. Lei was over. And how many businessmen who can make a fortune now are fools? Naturally, they are as far as they can go. As for the Shen family and the Fan family, they are trapped inside, and they can't get out of their way.

Since Xia Yuze entered Gu's family, he has never seen Lei Xin again. Xia Zichen has a holiday and goes to work with Gu Xu every day, nor has he seen him again. This is the best thing for the father and son. Lei Xin disappeared and their days returned to their previous peace.

But what they didn't know was that Lei Xin had indeed visited Shengchen to find Xia Zichen. Gu did not dare to break through. As long as Xia Yuze didn't want to see him, the security guard downstairs would drive people away responsibly, so he chose Shengchen, who felt easier to enter. However, Gu Xu was prepared for a long time and arranged all the security personnel when Xia Zichen was on vacation, and professional bodyguards were added. The floor where the Finance Department was located was specially sent to guard. In order not to cause doubts from employees, Gu Xu gave an explanation: it would be more chaotic by the end of the year, and strengthening the company's security measures was also to make everyone feel more at ease.

So Xia Zichen didn't doubt it much and did his job as usual. Lei Xin came twice and was sent by the bodyguard downstairs. The matter was just covered up by Xia Zichen. Anyway, Xia Zichen didn't care much about this.

As January comes, it is logical that the busyness at the end of the year should have come to an end, but Shengchen Technology shows no sign of relaxation, but it is even busier.

The cooperation project that has been striving for before has entered the final stage, and it depends on how the other party finally chooses. In addition to Shengchen, there are several online game companies that are also competing for this cooperation. Compared with those online game companies, Shengchen is a new online game company. Although Gu's support is behind it, Gu Xu is obviously not ready to gain the glory of Gu's. However, because Shengchen is a rising star, many ideas and creativity are more innovative and distinctive, and more in line with the preferences of today's online game players. This is also its most competitive side.

After finishing the work, Xia Zichen closed his slightly awkward eyes, got up and left his seat, and prepared to relax in the corridor. It was particularly easy to get sleepy in the afternoon, and Xia Zichen was used to drinking a cup of coffee to make himself more awake. Gu Xu has been busy during this period and has to hold a meeting almost every afternoon. The two of them secretly had to cancel their afternoon tea date for a while.

When walking towards the tea room, Xia Zichen noticed that when he was resting, there was a very tall man standing by the window, with only one silhouette. Xia Zichen did not recognize who it was. After all, there were too many people in the company, and he could not recognize them all. ˋˊ However, the man did not give him a feeling like an ordinary employee.

As soon as a pot of coffee was brewed in the tea room, Xia Zichen poured himself a cup, thought for a while, then pulled out another disposable paper cup and poured it into the cup, mixed with milk and sugar, walked out of the tea room and walked towards the window.

Maybe it’s because there are more people in the company, and now Xia Zichen is more likely to communicate with others than others, which is a good thing for him.

When he walked to the window, he stopped. Seeing that there were more people around him, the man turned to look over. Xia Zichen then realized that this man should be a mixed-race man. He looked similar to Gu Yan’s age, had deep facial features, perfect body proportions, and his blue eyes were like gems, beautiful and sharp, and his hair was brown, which felt very smooth.

Xia Zichen admitted that this man looks very outstanding, but even with such a type of person, no matter how good his appearance is, the strong aura exudes on his body will be far away from him. He feels that he cannot be provoked and dare not provoke him, such as: Gu Yan, Gu Ao, Gu Xu, and the man in front of him...

Although the feeling of oppression is very strong, Xia Zichen has brought out two cups of coffee, so it is hard to turn it back now. Moreover, after being with Gu Xu for a long time, he still has immunity.

"Drink coffee? I just brought an extra cup." Xia Zichen asked.

The man was stunned for a moment, looked at Xia Zichen for a while, then reached out to take the cup, "Thank you."

Seeing that he could understand Chinese, Xia Zichen was relieved. Although he was not bad in English, he had not really applied it in life. Apart from the courses, he could only read some English books or documents. He was not very confident in speaking.

Xia Zichen held his cup and slowly drank coffee. His eyes looked through the window and looked at the scenery in the distance, and his spirit slowly relaxed. The advantage of standing high and looking far is to take a full view of the scenery and enjoy the freehand painting brought by the openness.

"Are you a Shengchen employee?" The man looked at Xia Zichen next to him, "You look quite small."

"I am an intern." Xia Zichen replied, "Are you... going to work in Shengchen?" If this person really wants to work in Shengchen, he must be the management team.

The man hesitated for a moment, "That's right, I'm still thinking."

Work is purely a personal wish, and Xia Zichen is not going to say anything more. The man's face is reflected on the glass. Xia Zichen can see his slightly frowning brows. His eyes are empty when he is silent, as if he is thinking about something.

Xia Zichen is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business, but Xia Zichen can't tell me why. He would like to ask more questions, maybe it's because he is about the same age as Gu Yan and Xia Yuze. ˋˊ

"Are you upset?" Xia Zichen, who asked this sentence, actually did not expect an answer, but just asked a polite question.

"It's a little bit." The man smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Do you have a solution?"

Xia Zichen was speechless for a moment and thought for a while before saying, "It can't be said that it's a solution. It's just that drinking some hot cocoa when you are upset will make you feel much better." He only told Gu Xu about this method.

The man was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "Do you think of the method yourself or what others taught you?"

Xia Zichen curled the corner of his mouth, "My father taught me, it's very useful."

The man took Xia Zichen seriously, as if he wanted to see something from him.

Xia Zichen felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What's your name?" the man asked seriously.

Xia Zichen was silent for a moment and replied, "Xia Zichen." He didn't know why this man suddenly asked about his name.

"Your surname is Xia?" A trace of clarity flashed in the man's eyes, and he asked immediately: "Do you know Xia Yuze?"

"Hmm? Do you know my dad?" This time it was Xia Zichen's turn to be surprised. Unexpectedly, a topic of hot cocoa actually led to the man's understanding of his dad.

The man smiled, and this time he had a smile on his eyes, "I met. I didn't expect his son to be like this." The man put the coffee cup he had finished drinking on the windowsill and patted Xia Zichen on the shoulder and said, "You have a good father."

"I know." Xia Zichen never denies this.

The man's smile became stronger, and the sense of alienation on his body dissipated a lot. He turned around and took a few steps, stopped again, and turned around and said, "You are very good too, your voice is very good."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

When it was time to get off work, Xia Zichen realized that the cooperation project that Shengchen had been fought for had been signed. In the afternoon, someone from the other party visited Shengchen and did not ask for a companion. He just said that he wanted to take a walk and learn about Shengchen's working style. The public relations department went back to his department as soon as possible at the request of Luo Ji, so that the other party could be convenient for him.

Originally, the other party was still thinking about it, but for some reason, he suddenly decided. The other party's president knocked on the door of the conference room and asked Gu Xu to take the documents. After signing, he took the people away.

On the way home from get off work, Xia Zichen asked about the man and learned from Gu Xu that the other party’s surname was Qiao. ˋˊ Gu Xu also realized that it was because of Xia Zichen that the other party signed so happily. But Gu Xu didn’t know what the relationship between the man and Xia Yuze was. He probably had to go home and ask his elder brother. But no matter what, Shengchen should have a very good time in the next few years.

He reached out to take Xia Zichen, Gu Xu kissed him on the lips, and smiled and said, "You are my lucky star."

Xia Zichen snorted, "Speak nicely."

There are not many festivals in the year, but the Lunar New Year is always the most important. In previous years, Xia Zichen spent two people with Xia Yuze, but this year the Gu family would spend in City N, and it was the first year when Gu Xu took Xia Zichen home to meet his parents. Gu Yan and Gu’s father and mother discussed and decided to invite Xia Yuze and Xia Zichen this year, so that the whole family would lively. Gu Xu could not see Xia Zichen and think about having a bad New Year. Moreover, Gu’s father and mother had never met Xia Yuze, and this time they happened to meet together, so they thought it was officially decided for the two children.

Gu Yan said that Xia Yuze was there, and Xia Yuze did not object. Anyway, the father and son have lived in a deserted life for so many years, so there is nothing wrong with being lively.

Gu Xu took a break and asked Gu Yan about Mr. Qiao. Gu Yan only said that it was Xia Yuze's private affairs, and he was not convenient to say more. He and Qiao Chuqin had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship, but they had never had the opportunity to cooperate. In addition, Qiao Chuqin was abroad, and the two had less time to meet in the past two years.

The reason why he went to investigate Xia Yuze before was that he was entrusted by Qiao Chuqin. He had never mentioned Shengchen's matter to Qiao Chuqin, but he thought that the other party should know that the company belonged to Gu Xu. However, Qiao Chuqin has always been a person with clear public and private affairs, and would not let Gu Xu go because of Gu Yan's relationship.

This time Qiao Chuqin went to Shengchen for inspection, probably because she was interested in cooperating with Gu Xu. Xia Zichen happened to be the help that made him make up his mind in the end, so Qiao Chuqin signed the contract so readily.

In other words, in addition to thanking Xia Zichen, Gu Xu also has to thank Xia Yuze. After all, Qiao Chuqin didn't know about Xia Zichen's work in Shengchen, and fate was so coincidental that they met by chance, and they actually talked about Xia Yuze.

Because Mr. Qiao was involved in Xia Yuze's private affairs, Gu Xu didn't ask much. Gu Yan reminded him that it would be better not to mention Qiao Chuqin in front of Xia Yuze for the time being, so he could only continue to remain silent. Xia Zichen was busy preparing for the New Year recently, but forgot about Mr. Qiao's affairs for a while.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Gu Xu drove Xia Yuze and Xia Zichen to the Gu family. Butler Fu welcomed him enthusiastically and led Xia Yuze into the house.

Hearing that Xia Yuze was coming, Gu's mother quickly came out and smiled and said, "This is the in-laws, welcome, come in quickly." Then she said to Xia Zichen who was walking behind, "Xiaoyao, you can do whatever you want, I will only treat your father today. ˋˊ"

Xia Zichen smiled and nodded, changed his shoes and entered the house.

At this time, Gu’s father and Gu Yan heard the movement and walked down from the study.

"I asked Gu Yan to ask you before, but the time has never stopped." Gu's father walked over and shook hands with Xia Yuze, "Welcome to come. Zichen is very good, we all like him very much. It is also your father who teaches you well."

"You are too proud. It is also his blessing to Chenchen meet Gu Xu." For Xia Yuze, Gu Zhengqing and Wang Yuehua can be regarded as his elders.

"You are too polite." Gu's father is not a talkative person, but he is willing to say a few more words to someone who is satisfied with him, "Come in and sit down, don't stand."

"Okay." Xia Yuze followed Gu's father and mother to the large living room, and nodded to Gu Yan who was walking behind him, saying hello. Gu Yan smiled and did not enter the living room, but turned around to the kitchen.

Because Wang Yuehua welcomed her out, Gu Han and Gu Ao waited in the living room so that everyone would not be crowded in the entrance hall. Not only did the guests get into the house, but there were too many people and it seemed quite messy.

"This is my second son Gu Han and my third son Gu Ao." Wang Yuehua introduced.

Although Xia Yuze is not old, in terms of seniority, the two of them still call uncles with Gu Xu.

"The little demon is so beautiful, it looks like an uncle." Gu Ao smiled, "But the little demon is still a child no matter how you look at it, and the uncle feels more attractive."

The Gu family knew that Xia Zichen was not Xia Yuze's biological child, but no one cared about this issue. Moreover, Xia Zichen did not look like the Lei family, and his temperament was more like Xia Yuze.

"He is just a child. If you have any bad things, please include them." Xia Yuze smiled.

"Xiaoyao is more sensible than us. You don't have to worry." Gu Han smiled and asked Xia Yuze to rest assured.

"This is true. Since the little demon entered our house, we have all fallen out of favor." Gu Ao leaned against the sofa and said lazily.

Wang Yuehua sat next to Xia Yuze, pointed at Gu Ao, and smiled and said, "Stop talking."

The family chatted casually, and Gu Yan brought out two cups of Blue Mountain from the kitchen and placed them in front of Xia Zichen and Xia Yuze, "I just cooked it, try it."

Xia Zichen thanked him and shared a cup with Gu Xu. Xia Yuze took a sip and nodded with a smile, "The taste is very good."

In the entire Gu family, Gu Yan is actually the one who knows how to make coffee, but he cooks it very few times. ˋˊ

With Xia Yuze and Xia Zichen joining this thirty, the topic has become more. In the evening, Wang Yuehua and Xia Yuze go to the kitchen to make dumplings with the servants, which is also a must-do for Mrs. Gu every year. Although she has a bad cooking skills, she will do something for her family every year. Even if she can’t roll the dough, she can’t make the filling, she can only wrap it, and the shape is not very good. But these are all okay, what is important is her feelings for her husband and sons.

With Xia Yuze's joining this year, Wang Yuehua's interest became even stronger. He learned from Xia Yuze how to make it look better. Although it is not about how good the results are, at least it has made a lot of progress and will not reveal the content.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, supper was officially served. The servants set up another table in the building where the guests were hosting. The family ate casually and the servants were free to use it, and no one was restrained.

At the dinner table, Gu Zhengqing picked up the wine glass and said, "This year Zichen entered our house, which is the happiest thing. Although it is not fair yet, if you invite Yu Ze to dinner this year, it is equivalent to formally making the matter between Zi Chen and Gu Xu. In the future, it will be a family. Don't be polite if you have any needs." His eyes turned to Xia Yuze, and Gu Zhengqing continued, "Please rest assured, we will not treat Zi Chen badly. Gu Xu has something to do, so you don't have to be polite, I will teach him a lesson."

"I feel relieved when Chenchen and Gu Xu are together." Xia Yuze also held the wine glass and said politely. This is what Xia Yuze said in his heart. He has never had any snacks for them since the day when the two children were together.

"That's good. The Gu family's business is doing well this year, and Gu Yan has worked hard. Dad is very relieved to you. Gu Han is too busy this year, so you should pay more attention to your health. Gu Ao takes care of your grandfather's affairs, be careful in everything, and safety is the first priority. Gu Xu has done the most this year. He opened a company and made a decision with Zichen. He will continue to work hard next year." Gu Zhengqing looked at his sons. Although he was a serious father, he was indeed proud of his sons.

"I got it, dad."

"Okay, I won't say much about the others. I hope everything goes well next year and everyone is healthy and safe." Gu Zhengqing raised his wine glass.

After a table of people clinked glasses with each other, they started to have a meal.

At the dining table, Gu Yan took care of Xia Yuze, Gu Xu took care of Xia Zichen, Gu Ao helped Gu Han pick up food from time to time, Gu's father and mother clinked glasses from time to time, picking up food from time to time, making each other happy and particularly lively.

After dinner, the family gathered in the living room to watch TV, and there were various fruits, snacks and drinks on the coffee table. Xia Zichen and Xia Yuze sat next to each other, less quiet and more lively than before, and more lively as a family.

At around eleven o'clock, Wang Yuehua called Xia Zichen alone and went to Gu's father and mother's bedroom.

Wang Yuehua sat in front of the dressing table and asked Xia Zichen to sit on the chair next to her. He opened the drawer on the side of the dressing table and took out a crimson velvet box. When he opened it, there was a set of jade jewelry - earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. The jade color was all green and there was no impurity at all. Even Xia Zichen, a person who didn't understand jade, knew it was of great value.

"This set of jewelry is the family tradition of the Gu family. It was originally given to the next generation by the previous generation. In your generation, I will give it to you." Wang Yuehua smiled and stuffed the box into Xia Zichen's hand.

"I..." Xia Zichen held the box and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Wang Yuehua interrupted Xia Zichen and continued: "Although Gu Yan took over the Gu family, Gu Xu would have to come back to help him sooner or later. And you are the first to enter our house, so I think it is better to give it to you. As for who you want to give to your next generation, it is up to you to decide. This thing is not taken back after being sent out, so you must accept it. Even if you boys don't need it, it represents our attitude."

Xia Zichen pursed his lips and nodded. This was always the recognition of Gu's family for him, and he could not refuse this, "Thank you aunt."
