Chapter 39: It Doesn’t Cost Anything to Try

Gu Qingchen lowered her eyes and began to ponder.

It seemed that Liu Ying had gone to look for Shi Tian. Shi Tian must have learned from Liu Ying that the missing account book was in Gu Qingchen’s hands.

That was why when she came to school today, Shi Wei did not play her usual dirty tricks.

After all, she suspected that Gu Qingchen had something that could be used against her family. If she angered Gu Qingchen, it would not benefit her family.

However, Gu Qingchen felt that she did not have many peaceful days left.

With Shi Tian’s character, he definitely would start to make a move.

It seemed that she had to pay more attention.

“Qingchen, have you thought about what special skill you want to use to enter Hongfeng? I have paid some attention to it. Next weekend, Hongfeng will start accepting people.”

Han Zhengxiu saw Gu Qingchen and asked softly.

Next week?

Gu Qingchen was a little surprised. She had thought that it would take a long time, but she did not expect it to start next weekend.

Hongfeng Elite School would recruit high-quality students with special talents. Perhaps their specialized courses were not the best, but they were outstanding talents in other areas.

Gu Qingchen rested her chin on one hand, the expression in her eyes was a little empty.

What was her special skill?

Did mind-reading count?

Of course not. The number of times she could read minds every day was limited. Moreover, her mind-reading ability could not be known by others. If others knew, they might arrest her and send her to the research institute as a research subject.

Thinking of the research institute…

Gu Qingchen was slightly startled, and her thoughts were also in a mess. That was a place that she did not want to go to for the second time in her life.

If mind-reading could not be counted, could her photographic memory and ability to accept things quickly be counted as a talent?

However, the students who could go to the Hongfeng Elite School seemed to have very good grades. These two points did not seem to be special in Hongfeng.

If these were not possible, what should she do?

She could not tell others that she knew divination, right.

Although she didn’t know anything about divination, she was still a person who had lived once. She knew about some important events.

Maybe she would be regarded as a prophet.

No, that wasn’t reliable. Divination also needed time to prove. She couldn’t let the future happen immediately. How could the teacher who interviewed her be sure that what she said wasn’t false?

Sigh, it was a little worrisome.

Han Zhengxiu looked at Gu Qingchen’s changing expression and guessed that Gu Qingchen was worried about her talent.

“Why don’t you think about what you are most interested in and if you have the talent in that area?”

He still hoped that Gu Qingchen could take the Hongfeng examination with him. He was very clear about his talent. In terms of eloquence, he might not lose to others.

Gu Qingchen frowned slightly. After thinking for a long time, she still could not figure out what talent to use.

These talents of hers were all shameful, okay.

Han Zhengxiu looked a little anxious. In the end, after holding it in for a long time, he said, “Why don’t you compete with others in beauty? Being beautiful is also a kind of talent!”

Pfft!

Gu Qingchen immediately spat out when she heard Han Zhengxiu’s words.

Han Zhengxiu was also a little embarrassed. He averted his eyes, and his ears were a little red. In the end, he said in a low voice, “Anyway, we can try. It doesn’t cost anything to try.”

Gu Qingchen stared at Han Zhengxiu for a long time before she burst into laughter. Her laughter was very happy and was not pretentious at all. She looked very cheerful and could infect others.

When Han Zhengxiu saw Gu Qingchen’s smile, his heart skipped a beat and his breathing tightened. He felt that the current Gu Qingchen was astonishingly beautiful. That kind of gentle and cheerful charm that blended into one was unforgettable to him for the rest of his life.

Many years later, Han Zhengxiu recalled the past and was still moved by Gu Qingchen’s smile.

When one was young and frivolous, one’s emotions would stir!

Sometimes, it was just a matter in a moment.

The throbbing of one’s heart during puberty was young and sweet, ignorant and beautiful.

Everything was that simple. Falling in love with someone was just a matter of a moment.

In the end, Gu Qingchen did not think about what talent she wanted to use, but she promised Han Zhengxiu that she would definitely participate.

When she returned home, Gu Qingchen realized that her father’s expression did not look good. However, when he saw his daughter return, he forced himself to be more energetic.

“Dad, what happened to you? Did you encounter any problems?”

Even without reading his mind, Gu Qingchen could tell that Gu Yuanchuan was not in a good mood today.

Gu Yuanchuan opened his mouth and swallowed his words. In the end, it was Mrs. Gu who spoke up, “Don’t mention it. Your father originally thought that he was more familiar with the timber business and wanted to use your five million to start over, but who knew that your father’s former business partners seemed to have communicated with one another. Even if your father had the money now, they wouldn’t be willing to cooperate with your father.”

Gu Yuanchuan was also very sullen. Usually, he treated these people very well and with sincerity. He didn’t expect that they would treat him like this now.

In the end, Gu Yuanchuan was a conservative person. Even if he was a businessman who ventured into business, he had not learned the ability to abandon morality for profit, see the wind, and set the helm.

Gu Yuanchuan believed that when doing business, one should be honest, and everyone should be kind to one another in order to make money.

He did not expect that his years of honesty would bring him the merciless abandonment of his past business partners.

More or less, Gu Yuanchuan felt a little disheartened and upset.

“Dad, in my opinion, although you are familiar with the timber business, it will be a little difficult for you to expand it. Why don’t you change your business while you are still young? The most important thing is to seize the business opportunity. I see that this jade business has a lot of potential and I know some people in this field. Why don’t you consider it?”

Gu Qingchen could roughly guess why her father was always bumping into walls. Needless to say, it must have something to do with Shi Tian.

Her father was pure and honest, so he definitely did not think about it. His current situation was very likely that someone was deliberately trying to trip him up.

Since her father did not think about it, she did not want to expose it. It was also good to change the business and get in touch with some people again.

As for those people in the past, it was fine to stop contacting them.

It was not worth befriending such people who stepped down on others.

Gu Yuanchuan thought for a moment and felt that what his daughter said made sense. Perhaps he could give it a try.

Mrs. Gu also tried to persuade him, “Yes, this timber business must have been snatched away by Shi Tian. If you want to do it again, it is indeed very difficult. Why don’t you listen to your daughter? From now on, we will do the jade business.”

Mrs. Gu was a more understanding person. As soon as she spoke, she hit the nail on the head.

Gu Yuanchuan nodded and swept away his previous frustration. “Okay, let’s try it.”

Gu Qingchen smiled. The three of them made this decision and ate happily.

How could they let Shi Tian and those ungrateful people off so easily?

Hehe, of course not. Gu Qingchen had her own plans.

In the next few days, Gu Qingchen brought her father to the stone gambling venue and introduced Zhou Xiang to her father. After the previous contact, Zhou Xiang and Gu Qingchen were very familiar with each other.

When he learned that Gu Qingchen’s father was interested in the jade business, Zhou Xiang did not exclude him. He enthusiastically taught Gu Yuanchuan about jade.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before Hongfeng Elite School’s special enrollment.
