Gu Shiting and Song Chen sat here for another hour.
It’s already midnight, early September night, slightly chilly.
Gu Shiyan’s call came through.
On the phone, she urged Song Chen: "Bring him over here, don’t follow him messing around, staying out all night. You have a wife and child, he’s single, why join him in the fun?"
Song Chen: "..."
This sister, truly consistent for five years.
Song Chen stood up and patted Gu Shiting on the shoulder: "Let’s go back, okay to stay at our place tonight? Your sister is urging."
Gu Shiting nodded.
When he returned to the apartment, Gu Shiyan was still waiting.
She has an event to attend tomorrow but can’t sleep well because of her dear brother’s interference.
As soon as Gu Shiting entered, Gu Shiyan frowned: "You reek of smoke! Did you fall into an ashtray?"
Song Chen: "..."
The apartment they live in is two hundred and sixty square meters, besides the couple, there’s also a nanny and two maids.
The nanny has already lured Yangyang to sleep, the maid responsible for taking care of Gu Shiyan also fell asleep, only the daily cleaner and cook auntie are still awake.
She poured tea for Gu Shiting and said: "The guest room is ready, madam."
"Okay, you can go to sleep." Gu Shiyan said, "I’ll call you if there’s anything."
The maid turned and left.
Gu Shiting went to the guest room.
He took a shower, just got ready to lie down, his sister came over again.
"I heard you met Tangtang again?" Gu Shiyan asked him.
Gu Shiting wasn’t keen to discuss this topic.
"How are you feeling? You’re going back to the headquarters for work this time, if it’s too much, go back to Switzerland for a few months, I’ll talk to mom and dad." Gu Shiyan’s concern this time is genuine.
After Sheng Tang left, Gu Shiting was sick for a year.
That year, he was ill, undergoing treatment, and accepted very harsh new treatments. The person was in immense pain, but after repeated experiments, his fear of darkness showed signs of reducing and he slowly improved.
The next four years, he was studying.
In his freshman year, he completed the four-year college courses, so he directly skipped to a graduate study in physics.
Master’s degree took three years for others, he finished in six months, then spent another six months with the professor doing research, even produced some results, thus caught the eye of a physics expert, promoting him directly as a PhD student.
During his PhD, he entered Taylor Research Institute in the second year.
That year, Taylor Research Institute only recruited two people, both Asian genius physicists, Su Luo in the first half of the year, he was recruited in the second half.
Su Luo is a year younger and truly a genius girl with two PhDs.
If Gu Shiting hadn’t been ill since childhood, he might have been as remarkable as Su Luo.
Last year, Mrs. Gu suggested he return to the company to manage some routine affairs.
"You don’t need to know much, major decisions in the company are handled by Song Chen. Your father and I have left you an excellent managerial team, follow their rhythm and you’ll be fine." Mrs. Gu said, "We’re retiring."
Taylor Research Institute also doesn’t require daily attendance, just as Gu Shiting finished a project, the next project application might take half a year, so he agreed to intern at the company’s branch in Switzerland.
He worked quite impressively.
He has always been ruthless, not particularly adept with interpersonal matters, therefore, he can be uncompromising; and for other company affairs, he understands quickly, making it difficult for others to deceive him.
Within a month of joining the company, he was already familiar with all aspects, nothing escapes his scrutiny.
Thus, by chance, the branch staff dubbed him "capable and visionary."
As for what capabilities, Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu couldn’t precisely say, but Gu Shiting’s boldness and ruthlessness brought a new atmosphere to the branch, increasing annual profits by thirty percent.
