I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 435 Wei "Teacher"

With ease, he pulled out the small pink basin that Wei Lan usually used to soak his feet from the bottom of the bed. He poured the water in and tested the temperature of the water with his big hand. After making sure it was not hot, he held Wei Lan's little feet and put them into the water.

 “Take a foot soak to get rid of the cold.”

Wei Lan's feet were cold and white from the rain. When he put them into the hot water, his body felt trembling. Goosebumps and hairs stood up at the same time. After a while, the heat from his feet spread throughout his body.

 The skin on Gu Chao's hands was a deep wheat color, which was in sharp contrast with her white calves.

As his body regained its warmth, Wei Lan returned to her thoughts and lifted her legs away from Gu Chao's palm.

“I’ll just do it myself... Is there any hot water? You should also take a dip and change into a pair of clean shoes and socks.”

It was muddy outside. Gu Chao wore straw sandals because he was afraid of getting his shoes dirty. Now that he was back home, he had to wear warm clothes.

Gu Chao smiled lightly and said, "Okay."

There are a total of fourteen pigs in Bieshan. One was killed for the Chinese New Year two years ago, and three were killed yesterday. They were just shipped out today.

Meat is in short supply, so the three pigs have already found a way to send them to the black market in a nearby town.

 The county seat is far away, so Chen Zhengwen considers the risk high and plans to wait until the first batch of meat is sold to see which way the wind blows before making a decision.

 At first, Gu Chaohui joined the Bieshan business because he valued the prospects.

 Pig farming in remote mountains involves various risks.

  For example, the wild beasts that may appear at any time, and the red armbands at the foot of the mountain.

 However, it can earn a lot of money in the shortest time.

 Gu Chao thought he would keep doing it, but afterwards he had better opportunities, which quickly took up most of his focus.

Nowadays, the pig farm business is no longer his main battlefield. He usually relies on Chen Zhengwen and Dabao Xiaobao to take care of it.

The wild boars were going to be put out for slaughter in the past two days, and Gu Chao rushed to help. After careful consideration, he revealed his willingness to make peace with Chen Zhengwen.

If Chen Zhengwen plans to continue his business after these pigs are put out of the market, he can serve as an investor and invest in the pig farm as shares, and do nothing else. As long as it is not a loss-making situation, Chen Zhengwen can do whatever he wants to do. No intervention at all.

 Gu Chao is making long-term plans.

 He wants to give Wei Lan better and the best, and he will go to Beijing in the future...

Let’s not talk about whether he will go to the capital for business or something else. The expenses in the capital are not much higher than in a small place like theirs. Before going, he must prepare enough money so that his and Wei Lan’s lives will not be affected until they are stabilized.

 He must now use his time in ways that are more beneficial to him.

Chen Zhengwen is very clever when it comes to business and usually has many ideas.

After hearing Gu Chao’s wishes, Chen Zhengwen showed reluctance and regret on his face, but in fact he was already happy in his heart.

 Chen Zhengwen wanted to do it alone from the beginning, but because he didn’t have enough money at the time and was worried about losing his family fortune, he looked around for candidates. On the one hand, he really needed manpower, and on the other hand, he also needed people to bear the risks.

Chen Zhengwen made up his mind that if the meat sold well and made a lot of money, he would agree to Gu Chao's proposal.

Gu Chao is willing to pay, which is equivalent to taking risks in disguise, and will not interfere with the decisions he makes. Except that 20% of the final profit will be shared with Gu Chao, it is just like him doing it alone.

It's not that Chen Zhengwen couldn't see the changes in Gu Chao. He knew very well that the changes in Gu Chao were mostly due to the bag of gold taken from his hand.

 There must be envy and jealousy, but Chen Zhengwen is a sensible person.

Everyone's fate is different, and that is Gu Chao's fate. If it were him who was reselling gold, and he went to the sea market with such a bag of gold, he might not be able to come back safely.

With this thought, Chen Zhengwen put aside his resentment and concentrated on the matter at hand.

Three hundred and sixty years later, Chen Zhengwen really didn’t believe that he was the number one scholar in the industry. As long as he was willing to do it, how could he still make a fortune?

It is precisely because of Chen Zhengwen's trustworthy character that Gu Chao assured him and expressed his willingness to invest.

 Gu Chao's thoughts ran away, and as he ran away, the water in the basin became cold without him realizing it.

 “Put your feet up!” Wei Lan shouted.

Gu Chao obediently raised his feet and let Wei Lan add hot water to the basin.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Wei Lan squinted at him, put the elephant trunk bottle aside, opened the drawer, pulled out a notebook and stuffed it into Gu Chao’s hand.

Wei Lan smiled and held her chin while sitting at the table, "Are you okay this afternoon? Take a look at this. You can do as much as you can."

Gu Chao was still struggling with how to answer the previous question, and was confused by the notebook in his hand.

After a while to react, Gu Chao held the book and read it carefully.

 Gu Chao answered the first five equations quickly and calculated the final results without drafting.

"A ship sails eastward at 20 knots. At first, the ship sees lighthouse B at point A, which is 45° east of the north of the ship. One hour later, the ship sees this lighthouse at point C, which is 15° east of the north of the ship. Find the distance CB between the ship and the lighthouse at this time..."

 In accordance with the question below, mark the triangle with three points A, B, and C.

 After Gu Chao read the title, he subconsciously looked at Wei Lan.

Wei Lan blinked and took a closer look at the notebook, "Can't do this?"

Slender fingers brushed over the topic. Just as Wei Lan was about to ask something, Gu Chao put his index finger between her lips and said, "Don't worry, let me try it first."

His angular lower jaw was slightly drooped, and he looked at the topic thoughtfully. He exuded a restrained and calm aura, quiet and with a certain persuasive charm.

Wei Lan's pupils flickered slightly, she sat back in the chair and held her chin in her hands, waiting quietly.

 Previously, Gu Chao had found the diameter and radius of a circle, and also found the area and volume of a square and a rectangle. This was the first time he had found this kind of distance.

 Gu Chao had some difficulties at first, but after calming down and thinking for a while, he realized that most of these questions were about changing the question type. In fact, it was still a matter of changing the soup without changing the medicine, so the difficulty should not be too great.

 Thinking everything through, Gu Chao began to write.

Wei Lan waited and waited, imagining several outcomes in his mind, such as Gu Chao not being able to do it or doing it wrong, or getting into a certain misunderstanding...

However, when Gu Chao handed the notebook over, Wei Lan's eyes widened and she glanced back and forth between the notebook and Gu Chao's faces, "You, you, you, you..."

 “Isn’t that right?”

Wei Lan shook her head blankly.

 In fact, it is not wrong, but Gu Chao only used two formulas to solve this problem.

 Thinking about it, when she originally listed this question, she also calculated the correct answer.

Comparing the two easy-to-understand formula calculation methods of Gu Chao at the moment, Wei Lan covered her face and planned to secretly destroy the answers she wrote.

Wei Lan couldn't say anything and handed the notebook to Gu Chao again, "Keep going!"

 Is Gu Chao that smart? Is there anything he can't do?

Wei Lan's cheeks puffed up and she crossed her chest with her hands angrily, not believing this evil.

 But, it turns out.

Gu Chao does have shortcomings, but his shortcomings are only the length of time to solve problems, and there is no question of whether he can or not.

There are a total of twenty questions in the book. Wei Lan read all the answers, her mouth tightened and she didn't want to speak.

Gu Chao poked her delicate cheek with his index finger, "Why are you suddenly unhappy?" Wei Lan glared at him, "Can't you pretend that you don't know one thing?"

 It’s not easy for her to answer these questions, right? There is no pleasure at all in being a teacher!

Wei Lan's eyes turned red and she turned away, feeling even more aggrieved.

Gu Chao can probably guess a little bit.

He held the notebook and looked at it for a long time. He hugged Wei Lan from behind, raised the notebook in front of her, and rubbed his long fingers on the answer. "Look, this question only has the answer but no process. Five points will be deducted."

 “This is also the case, and this is also...”

“This △ is written crookedly, so three points will be deducted…”

 The twenty questions are worth five points each, which is exactly 100 points.

Those who have been buckled by Gu Chao now have less than thirty points left.

Wei Lan's face turned red and white, and finally she couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. She squirmed in his arms and tried to get out, "I'm annoying you to death! You're the only smart one!"

Gu Chao's breathing was a little heavier, and his big hands tightened around Wei Lan's waist, refusing to let go.

 Gu Chao lowered his head, and his hot breath fell on Wei Lan's neck. Wei Lan's cheeks were light pink, and her toes in her slippers curled up nervously, "Stop making trouble... I, I admit that you are smart!"

Gu Chao laughed muffledly, grabbed Wei Lan's hand and touched the last question on the notebook, "Teacher, I don't know how to answer this question..."

The hoarse, low and magnetic voice rang in his ears, and Su entered his bones. Wei Lan's breathing was stagnant, and for a moment, his waist softened and his whole body lay softly on Gu Chao's chest.

"I, let me see..." Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes were misty, trying to stay clear to read the question.

　　 is a question about finding angles. Gu Chao only wrote the numbers and left out the "°". He lost points in small details. There is no problem with the correct answer.

 It’s not impossible at all!

 But, she didn’t check it out just now!

 “I will never pay you any bills again—well…”

Wei Lan turned her head to glare at Gu Chao, but Gu Chao grabbed her chin, twisted her neck and forced a deep kiss.

After a long time, Gu Chao let go of Wei Lan. Wei Lan's eyes were blurred, and he took the opportunity to breathe heavily. The man's low and hoarse voice came to his ears again:

"Teacher...I will definitely behave well in the future. Can I not be angry this time?"

Still addicted to playing?

Hearing the teasing tone in his tone, Wei Lan was filled with anger and clenched her silver teeth.

 How are you afraid of her being angry?

 This is obviously because he saw that she was still alive, and he disliked her and was not angry to death!

“You still dare to laugh at me, I’m not done with you!” Wei Lan raised his eyebrows, turned around with a fierce look and pushed his head into Gu Chao’s arms.

That posture was just about knocking Gu Chao to the ground.

 Who is Gu Chao? Not to mention that he could knock down his father-in-law, even the bulls in the team might not be able to push him.

Wei Lan's little strength is nothing.

Since then, Wei Lan, except for smudging his forehead, did not shake Gu Chao in the slightest.

 Wei Lan's eyes were red, she covered her forehead in grievance, and still stared at Gu Chao unwillingly.

Gu Chao was afraid that if she came again and hurt him again, he put his big hand around Wei Lan and lifted him up so that Wei Lan was sitting on his lap, "Okay, let's stop making trouble."

Wei Lan rested her chin on his shoulder, put her hand around his back, and punched him twice, "Who's causing trouble! You're the only one who bullied me! I'll write a letter to my father tomorrow, and you just wait to be punished... Uh-"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Chao lowered his waist and arched upwards. Wei Lan's body trembled suddenly, and she shrank into Gu Chao's arms, not daring to say another word.

"Are you obedient this time?" Gu Chao lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms tenderly.

The little girl has pink cheeks and a pair of eyes filled with mist, hazy and gleaming, charming and pure.

 “The teacher is not careful in checking the questions and should be punished.”

The gentle man suddenly became serious. Before Wei Lan could react, he was pecked on the lip.

 “Hmm…huh?”

  “A little confused.”

Gu Chao's deep eyes were bright and seemed to be hiding firelight. He lifted Wei Lan's chin and pressed it firmly this time.

 …

In the evening, Grandma Gu was washing rice and cooking, while Wei Lan sat aside and pinched the vegetable moss.

That posture was full of bitterness and resentment. Those who knew she was picking at the cabbage moss, but those who didn’t knew, thought she was going to eat someone.

Grandma Gu looked back and quickly took the basket of vegetable moss, "Confused girl, how can the vegetable moss be cut so short?"

 Wei Lan was even more unhappy after being scolded. Her bright red little mouth was pouted, wishing she could hang up the oil bottle.

Grandma Gu moved slightly, her eyes paused on Wei Lan's lips for a moment, "What's wrong with your mouth?"

"Ah? Ah..." Wei Lan lowered his head unnaturally, holding the corner of his clothes and evasive, "It's too, too dry, I licked it!"

She was obviously angry in the afternoon. Who knows what happened, but she was hugged by Gu Chao, nibbled and kissed her... The skin on her lips was a little broken, and it hurt when she licked her.

After Wei Lan finished speaking, he couldn't help but lick it again, and immediately took a small breath.

 Stinky Gu Chao! Wei Lan cursed inwardly.

Grandma Gu thought it was really chapped lips, so she put down the vegetable basket, took a bottle of sesame oil, and applied a layer of sesame oil on Wei Lan's mouth, "Don't rub it, let it go on for a while, it will be fine tomorrow." .”

 When making cold dishes and spicy noodles, adding sesame oil will make it fragrant, but when it is applied on the mouth alone, Wei Lan licks it and seeps into the mouth. It is a bit astringent and not delicious.

Grandma Gu just left her alone. After doing this, Wei Lan's eyes showed a blush, and he groaned and wanted to hit the snake with a stick.

Grandma Gu knew her temper very well, and she would never stop acting coquettishly, so she pushed the oil pot forward and said, "I don't think it's enough, please give me some more."

Wei Lan's face turned pale, thinking that Grandma Gu was really going to rub sesame oil on her, so she quickly shrank her neck and stepped back, shaking her head, "No, no, no, this is good!"

 After saying that, he turned around and jumped out of the kitchen and ran away.

"Squeamish little girl." Grandma Gu sighed, shook her head helplessly, put down the oil bottle, and picked up the remaining vegetable moss in the vegetable basket where Wei Lan had just picked vegetables.

 Different from the red cabbage sprouts, the cabbage sprouts are the core grown from Chinese cabbage. They are boiled with some oil. Although it is a vegetarian vegetable, it tastes sweet when chewed and is delicious.

Everyone in the family likes to eat it. Grandma Gu thought about it and simply picked off all the vegetable moss in the basket.

   *

It rained lightly all night, and in the early morning of the next morning, the Gu family’s bamboo forest was shrouded in hazy mist. When we stood at the door of the front yard, we saw the fields in the distance, misty and rainy, like a fairyland.

Wei Lan yawned and went to the well to wash up. As soon as he arrived in the backyard, his eyes were attracted by two fish baskets that had turned green.

“Ah!” Wei Lan exclaimed excitedly, put down the washbasin, ran over, held up the basket and squinted one eye to look inside.

Frowning for a while, he shook the fish basket in disbelief and continued to look inside.

After looking at it for a long time and confirming that it was empty, Wei Lan turned around to get another fish basket and repeated the action just now.
