Chapter 462: Chapter 210 Gu Tongshu is Numb_2

"Su Huai didn’t harbor any negative emotions, including impatience, entanglement, unease, and so on. He wasn’t a blindly confident man, which meant that, in his view, the current conflicts and differences weren’t serious—there was either a solution, or there was no need to solve them at all. Therefore, even if a rift in the relationship truly occurred at the moment, it would be temporary and soon recoverable."

"This Puppy!"

Gu Tongshu ground his teeth in anger, "Damn it, he actually dared!"

"I think we should vaccinate the young lady against this as soon as possible."

Chu Yan’s expression was very cold, yet her words were a stab aimed at Su Huai.

"The young lady is not in good health; we cannot wait until the relationship deepens before letting her know everything. The risk is too high. And, it could effectively disrupt her... illusions."

Chu Yan’s choice of words was careful—’illusions,’ implying she held a very dim view of Su Huai and Jiuyue’s relationship.

But on this matter, Gu Tongshu had a different opinion.

"I can’t take any active measures, once Jiuyue knows I’ve been monitoring Su Huai, right becomes wrong, and the ’it’s for her own good’ spiel, she won’t buy it,"

Chu Yan coldly suggested, "We could lead Wu Yong to uncover their relationship."

Gu Tongshu continued to shake his head, "Doing so, besides putting Wu Yong in a difficult position, won’t serve any purpose. Wu Yong won’t tell Jiuyue."

"It all comes down to what you think."

Chu Yan tossed the dilemma back to Gu Tongshu, trying to ascertain his true thoughts.

"If you wish Wu Yong to take responsibility, she will find a way to let the young lady know."

"Hmm..."

Gu Tongshu fell into rumination.

The window glass reflected his face, showing a pair of highly conflicted eyes.

"What do you think?"

In the end, he hadn’t made a decision, but instead, he asked again.

Chu Yan had her answer and thus changed her tone.

"If this did not involve the young lady, I would think it’s not a big deal.

Su Huai is young, handsome, proud, capable, and quite likely to become a very successful man in a conventional sense; yet he’s only 19 now, far from the age to settle down.

He would need at least ten more years before truly settling down.

In such a lengthy process of maturation, he will go through more than one relationship, meet more than one woman, and hesitate for a long time before he finds the real home that truly suits him.

Thus, I don’t want to judge his actions, and can even totally understand them.

If I were Su Huai’s girlfriend, I would choose to turn a blind eye, slowly guiding him to understand true emotions, and not demanding absolute fidelity, as long as his heart stays with his family, and he loves his children, all other trivial matters can be overlooked.

But the problem is, the young lady lacks the basic standpoint.

She both subjectively and objectively lacks the potential to guide Su Huai."

"The young lady has many merits, but her physical condition does not support intimate activities. No one can force a man like Su Huai to remain a monk for life, violating the most basic human nature.

Therefore, for the sake of the young lady’s physical and emotional health, I would do everything possible to prevent a true love from developing between them.

However, from what it seems, Su Huai also truly lacks such thoughts towards the young lady. Maybe we can directly communicate with him, letting him personally control the distance and pace..."

Chu Yan was too rational, too objective, and Gu Tongshu really took it in."

When he heard the phrase "not seeking absolute fidelity," he nodded silently."

Gu Tongshu had only truly loved two women in his life, but the number of women he had been with was above ten."

In his position, temptations were too numerous; most times he could resist, but occasionally there were special circumstances where mood, timing, impulse, and preference all aligned, then he would play the field once."

Moral sense was something he lacked, so he never felt guilty about it; the rare instances he refrained from messing around were out of pride and respect for his wife."

Did Su Huai have a moral sense?"

In Gu Tongshu’s view, probably not completely devoid, but certainly quite weak."

So, Chu Yan’s hint had a hidden emphasis—don’t try to force Su Huai to both be with Jiuyue and remain loyal all the time."

On this matter, "wanting both" was not feasible."

Thus, the approach couldn’t be too brute, which was precisely why Gu Tongshu hesitated to make a final decision."

If Jiuyue were a normal girl, he would have sent someone to break Su Huai’s legs long ago."

"Confront him about it..."

Gu Tongshu pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to ask, "His trip to the Magic Capital, how did it go?"

Chu Yan fully understood what Mr. Gu wanted to ask, so she nodded gently, "Very pretty."

"Oh?"

"His company has already finalized a collaboration with L’Oréal, and L’Oréal’s evaluation of him is extremely high. I did some urgent homework, and my personal feeling is that although Xingyu has only been dabbling so far, the choice of track is very clever, and the entry point is extremely well-suited to the current social development trends."

Chu Yan praised him wholeheartedly and sincerely.

"Currently, all major internet companies are venturing into live-streaming channels; Ali has a major content strategy, Tencent is deeply cultivating the IP domain, LeEco is promoting their content ecological loop everywhere, and Byte’s main focus is also on content...

Currently, the hottest buzzword in the venture capital field is content.

But how should content be approached?

Many big company CEOs’ understanding doesn’t even compare to Su Huai’s.

His overall distribution theory on traffic gameplay is ahead of the current era by more than a year, and although the place he cuts into the content pie is quite off-center, he cuts very deep, and I personally highly rate his chances of making some name for himself.

Hmm, the industry’s number one, a market value of tens of billions?

Both should be possible."

Gu Tongshu silently opened the documents, reviewing meeting minutes and personal notes relayed from inside L’Oréal.

He was unfamiliar with this industry, but with such high intelligence and vision, he could roughly understand Su Huai’s approach.

Then, the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.

"Do you think he’s aiming to be acquired, or does he plan to be the big boss himself?"

"Hard to say." Chu Yan shook her head, "I feel his personality can hardly tolerate others directing him, but he lacks traffic portals. No matter how much he struggles, he will be limited by platforms such as Taobao Live, Kuaishou, and others, and he will likely end up collaborating with some major company?

This trip he went to Hangzhou, I think he must have learned some lessons already, Mr. Gu, if you plan to intervene, now is a good opportunity."

Chu Yan didn’t mention Douyin because Byte had just launched Douyin, initially intending it to be just a music short video platform.

But Gu Tongshu thought of it.

He slowly tapped on the table, then suddenly ordered, "Go sort out our stock holdings in all relevant platforms, get a bottom line, and give me a report back."

Chu Yan felt that for the first time she hadn’t understood Mr. Gu’s thoughts, hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to ask, "Are you thinking..."

"I haven’t decided yet."

Gu Tongshu openly admitted his wariness towards Su Huai and sighed tiredly, "Just need to be prepared ahead of time, and wait and see."

"Okay."

Chu Yan knew her task was done, she had further details about Xingyu’s big financier to mention, but thinking that there were still many details unclear, she decided not to rush it, turned around, and left the room, leaving Mr. Gu some peace.

Last, Gu Tongshu was left alone, staring out the window lost in thought.

And did not move for a long time.

...

When Su Huai returned to school, it was already past 3 PM.

Today’s singer finals were starting at 7:30 PM at the main campus music hall, lasting less than two hours, and currently, the rehearsal was underway.

Wu Tianyou, who performed very ordinarily in the semifinals, had already been eliminated, but Chu Changkuo managed to enter the final top 20 with a deeply emotional love song and would perform tonight.

The other familiar participants were Chen Nuanhan’s roommates, Dandong Girl and Guangxi cousin.

So Su Huai wasn’t going to see Chen Nuanhan, but to cheer for his roommate—isn’t that proper?

As for the conflict and fallout with Kuokuo... well, no outsiders knew about it.

When he returned to his dorm room, Sao Ji was not there, but Xia Yu was waiting for him.

"Bro, you’re back?"

Xia Yu was excited, pulling Su Huai, ready to head out, "Senior sister came back to school, she specifically asked me to call you for dinner, let’s hurry up and go!"

Previously, Pei Shuyu had mentioned it on WeChat, Su Huai didn’t have time to reply to her, and didn’t respond.

Now he had a chance to ask, "What’s the situation? Does she need something?"

"Senior sister wants to scout for potential talents to recruit to the guild, so she plans to check it out on-site, anyway we have to go see the rich young man, might as well go together!"

Su Huai felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Chen Nuanhan would definitely be there, and once she saw him mingling with Pei Shuyu... really damn thrilling!

If it had been before yesterday, he would definitely have avoided it.

But now the situation had reversed, he decided to tread across this river on a tightrope.
