Chapter 18

Mu Xingyu and Grandpa Gu went to the dining room and asked the chef to prepare the dishes.

Previously, when Lin Xiao was present, he was responsible for the affairs of the Gu family. However, Grandpa Gu was concerned about the possibility of infiltrators and didn’t recruit a new butler. Therefore, household matters were generally reviewed by Grandpa Gu or Mu Xingyu.

Mu Xingyu didn’t want Grandpa Gu to be too burdened, and in the future, he wouldn’t be able to handle family matters when he was working outside. So, he suggested that Grandpa Gu choose someone from the household staff to replace Lin Xiao.

“Do you have a candidate?”

Mu Xingyu thought for a moment and said, “Grandpa, now that Mr. Gu has awakened, the nursing workload has reduced. We can let Aunt Chu help manage the affairs.”

“Chu Jinlan?” Grandpa Gu pondered for a moment and expressed his approval.

Until the person behind Lin Xiao’s instructions was identified, Grandpa Gu was very cautious in his hiring. Chu Jinlan had been taking care of Gu Yunzhou without making the picky Gu Yunzhou unhappy, which was already quite an accomplishment. Now that Mu Xingyu recommended her, Grandpa Gu decided to reappoint Aunt Chu.

At that moment, Mu Xingyu’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Chen Feng. He quickly asked, “Chen Feng, what’s up?”

“Mr. Mu, we’re on our way back.”

“Really? I thought you’d be coming back very late. Grandpa and I are waiting for you to have dinner. Be safe on the road,” Mu Xingyu smiled and then told the chef not to serve the food just yet.

Grandpa Gu knew that Gu Yunzhou would be back soon, and he said, “He used to work late and rarely came home for dinner. I didn’t expect this today…”

“Grandpa, Mr. Gu should be aware of his own health, so he didn’t work overtime, I suppose.”

“Maybe. Let’s wait a little longer,” Grandpa Gu smiled but his gaze drifted towards Mu Xingyu. He always felt that his grandson had something special with Mu Xingyu. However, Gu Yunzhou never expressed his thoughts, making Grandpa Gu unable to figure it out.

After about twenty minutes, Gu Yunzhou returned.

Mu Xingyu happily went to the door and watched Gu Yunzhou wheel in. He cheerfully said, “You’re back! Let’s go eat.”

Gu Yunzhou nodded politely and joined Mu Xingyu in the dining room.

At the dining table, everyone remained silent.

Due to accommodating Gu Yunzhou’s health, the recent dishes were relatively bland. However, the top chefs of the Gu family always managed to make the dishes both delicious and visually appealing. Mu Xingyu also enjoyed the meal.

After dinner, Grandpa Gu and Gu Yunzhou went to the study to discuss work matters. Mu Xingyu knew that they were going to have a business conversation, so he went to find Aunt Chu.

” Young Master Mu , what can I help you with?” Aunt Chu was looking at the menu for the next day, checking if there were any adjustments needed.

Mu Xingyu said, “Here’s the thing. Today, Grandpa and I discussed it, and we decided to have you take over Lin Xiao’s position.”

“Replace Lin Xiao?” Aunt Chu was very surprised and asked, “Young Master Mu, you’re not joking, are you?”

“No, are you worried that you won’t be able to do it?”

“Not at all, it’s just that I’m very surprised because I’m just a nurse.”

Mu Xingyu smiled and said, “You are Mr. Gu’s personal nurse. If you can satisfy Mr. Gu, I believe you can also manage the Gu family well and make Grandpa happy.”

“Young Master Mu, please rest assured, I won’t let you and Grandpa down.” Aunt Chu cherished this hard-earned opportunity and felt grateful towards Mu Xingyu.

“Now that Mr. Gu has awakened, the main focus is on his ongoing rehabilitation and leg rehabilitation. You should also put more of your energy into Mr. Gu’s recovery.”

“I understand.”

After Mu Xingyu’s conversation with Aunt Chu, he returned to the fourth floor and saw that the study door was still closed, so he went back to his room.

About an hour later, Grandpa Gu came out, but Gu Yunzhou continued to stay in the study.

When it was time for him to take his medication, Gu Yunzhou had not come out, and Mu Xingyu was worried. He took the medication box and a water glass from Aunt Chu and knocked on the study door.

“Come in.”

Mu Xingyu saw Gu Yunzhou sitting in front of the computer, dealing with company matters. He said, “Take your medication first.”

“You can leave it here.”

Mu Xingyu shook his head and said, “I want to watch you take it.” He stood by the table with an attitude that implied, “I won’t leave until you take it.”

Gu Yunzhou had no choice but to divert his gaze from the computer screen and took the medication box and water glass from Mu Xingyu.

The medication box contained all the medicines he had to take that evening. Gu Yunzhou casually picked out four or five pills and washed them down with water. He was used to the bitter taste of various medications, and now he was so skilled that he quickly finished taking the pills.

“Finish the water too,” Mu Xingyu knew that Gu Yunzhou often forgot to drink water when he got busy, so he added some spiritual water to the water and to ensure that Gu Yunzhou didn’t waste it.

Gu Yunzhou reluctantly finished the water and said, “I’ll be busy late. You should rest early.”

“Mr. Gu, please take care of your health and don’t work too late,” Mu Xingyu said seriously. He poured another glass of water for Gu Yunzhou and then left the study.

Mu Xingyu went back to his room to freshen up. When he came out in his pajamas, he noticed that the study’s light was still on and shook his head.

He turned off the main light in his room, then lay on the bed to check his Weibo messages. He originally intended to wait for Gu Yunzhou to return, but he soon began to feel drowsy.

After Gu Yunzhou finished handling the urgent matters accumulated at the company, he wheeled his chair back to the room. The bedside lamp emitted a warm glow as if it was waiting for him.

He noticed that Mu Xingyu was already asleep, so he quietly went to the wardrobe, took a set of pajamas, and entered the bathroom.

By the time he lay on the bed, it was almost midnight. Unexpectedly, Mu Xingyu woke up groggily and mumbled, “When did you come back?”

“Sorry for waking you up.”

“I was actually waiting for you, but I fell asleep,” Mu Xingyu blushed.

Gu Yunzhou, on the other hand, was quite happy. “Go back to sleep early.”

“Okay,” Mu Xingyu was too exhausted and closed his eyes to sleep.

Gu Yunzhou smiled slightly, turned off the bedside lamp, and also lay down to rest. He couldn’t resist reaching out to touch Mu Xingyu’s sleeping face.

The next day, Gu Yunzhou went to the company again.

Mu Xingyu had been in a daze all day. At lunchtime, he was very concerned that Gu Yunzhou might forget to eat.

Grandpa Gu reassured him, “Don’t worry, Chen Feng is there.”

But Mu Xingyu couldn’t help but worry.

Aunt Chu saw his concern and suggested, “Young Master Mu , in the afternoon, I’ll be making ginseng soup. How about you take it to Mr. Gu after it’s ready?”

“Me? Take it?”

Grandpa Gu nodded in agreement, thinking that this would give the two younger generations a chance to meet and strengthen their relationship. He said, “Xingyu, you can take it and also check on his health, remind him to rest.”

“Alright, Grandpa.”

In the afternoon, Mu Xingyu took a thermos filled with ginseng soup and had it sent to the Gu Building by the driver. He didn’t inform Gu Yunzhou about his visit to the company and asked Aunt Chu not to mention it either, planning to surprise Gu Yunzhou later.

Beijing’s central business district is very bustling, with six out of the top ten national companies and twelve of the world’s top 100 corporations having their headquarters or branches here.

Previously, Gu’s Group had its headquarters in the UK, but three years ago, Gu Yunzhou relocated the headquarters to Beijing. Since then, the Gu Building became an iconic structure in Beijing’s central business district.

After getting out of the car, Mu Xingyu asked the driver to return and carried the thermos bottle into the Gu Building’s first-floor lobby.

“Who are you looking for, sir?” the receptionist asked, noticing Mu Xingyu’s stylish W&W spring and summer outfit and thinking he must be important.

“Hello, I’m here to see Mr. Gu.”

“Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist inquired politely.

“No.”

“I’m sorry, sir, if you want to see Mr. Gu, you need to make an appointment in advance,” the receptionist said with a slightly strained smile.

“I don’t have an appointment, but I can call him, and he’ll let me go up,” Mu Xingyu said, taking out his phone.

At that moment, a mocking voice came from beside him, “Really, big talker, everyone knows Mr. Gu doesn’t leave his phone number. When there’s business, we contact his assistant. You actually say you’re going to call Mr. Gu, heh heh.”

Mu Xingyu followed the voice and saw a flashy woman decked out in high-end brands.

“Sister Rong.”

“I have an appointment with Mr. Gu. Can I go up?” the woman asked.

“Of course,” the receptionist said and had someone escort the woman named “Rong” to the elevator.

Before leaving, the woman gave Mu Xingyu a glance and murmured under her breath, “Why does such a good-looking man have to do anything here?”

Mu Xingyu, after drinking the spirit water, had heightened senses and heard this remark. He furrowed his brow and asked the receptionist, “Who is she?”

“She’s Jin Yurong, the head of the Asia-Pacific division of a Korean electronics company.”

“No wonder she could schedule an appointment with Gu Yunzhou.” Although he understood the reason, Mu Xingyu was still unhappy.

The receptionist, noticing that Mu Xingyu was quite handsome, and feeling a sense of familiarity, decided not to discourage him. She suggested, “Sir, many people want to see Mr. Gu, and we have to strictly follow the company’s policies. If you have any channels, it’s best to make an appointment in advance.”

“I understand, thank you.” Mu Xingyu walked aside and took out his phone, intending to call Gu Yunzhou. However, at that moment, he was dumbfounded because he didn’t have Gu Yunzhou’s phone number.

Gu Yunzhou had been recovering at home since he woke up, so there was no need for him to leave his phone number. These past two days when Gu Yunzhou went to the company, Mu Xingyu had been contacting Chen Feng, so he didn’t have Gu Yunzhou’s phone number.

Mu Xingyu had no choice but to call Chen Feng. The call was quickly answered.

” Young Master Mu, what’s the matter?”

“Chen Feng, I’m in the lobby now, but I didn’t make an appointment, so I can’t go upstairs.”

“You’re in the lobby? I’ll come down to pick you up right away,” Chen Feng replied quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Xingyu waited in the lobby, and perhaps his good looks attracted the attention of the young women passing by.

“Is that him, XingXing?”

“Seems like it.”

“Definitely, just look at that delicate chin and prominent nose; there’s no one else like him in the world.”

After some discussion, the three young women approached Mu Xingyu.

However, at that moment, the special elevator for the CEO sounded a “ding,” which surprised everyone who heard it.

Employees at Gu Group knew that their CEO was very mysterious and always used the special elevator, which regular employees couldn’t access. It was the first time the special elevator had come down to the first floor, so the employees were all curious to see what was happening.

This was the first time they saw the CEO’s exclusive elevator arrive at the first floor, and it brought a handsome bodyguard.

Chen Feng stepped out of the elevator, and when he saw Mu Xingyu, he quickly approached. ” Young Master Mu, sorry to keep you waiting.”

“It’s okay,” Mu Xingyu shook his head and replied as he followed Chen Feng into the elevator.

As they left, the lobby staff was left in astonishment.
