Chapter 348 Surprise
Looking at their appearance, Gu Zheng sighed again.
There was indeed an imbalance in the hearts of the two of them. Gu Zheng also knew that once he gave the opportunity to the two of them, it would be difficult for the four of them to return to such a good relationship before. But even if he didn't give it, The four of them also had no way to return to their original state.
Realm, status, money and other reasons made it impossible for them to be poor boys having fun and laughing together like before. Although Gu Zheng was very reluctant to see all this, he also knew that this was Nothing he can change.
Even if he becomes an immortal cultivator, he can't change it. Immortal cultivators are just immortals, not omnipotent gods, and they can't change people's hearts.
"Yongkui, I know you want to open your own studio. I can give you 20 million to open a studio that satisfies you. However, this money is not given to you in vain. You have to pay it back to me in ten years. May I?"
Gu Zheng first said to Zhao Yongkui that Zhao Yongkui's biggest hobby is photography. It is indeed his dream to open a studio. Unfortunately, due to financial problems, this dream has always been illusory.
"You don't need that much, five million is enough!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yongkui seemed a little excited and waved his hands and said something. Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Just 20 million. I remember you said that if you want to do it, do it the best. A top studio has five If one million is not enough, just 20 million. If you can’t use it all, you can keep it as a reserve fund!”
Ordinary photo studios definitely don’t have that much money. Zhao Yongkui once said that what he yearns for is a large, complete photo studio of two to three thousand square meters. In this way, millions will definitely not be able to do the best. Gu Zheng simply gave him two Ten million.
Zhao Yongkui has complete control over how he uses the 20 million. The money is not given to him directly, but borrowed, and will be repaid in installments within ten years without any interest.
If given directly, the relationship between the two would probably end here.
"Okay, thank you Gu Zheng, don't worry, I will definitely make this studio the best it can be!"
Zhao Yongkui no longer refused and nodded excitedly. He knew that Gu Zheng was rich, but 20 million was not a small amount. Besides, Gu Zheng only became rich recently. Being able to lend him 20 million in one breath was really a lot.
Twenty million, still interest-free, Zhao Yongkui is already very satisfied.
"Wang Tao, you have always wanted to join politics. I have told Chang Le before that you will take the civil service exam this time. As long as you pass the exam, he will help you and let you embark on this path!"
Gu Zheng then told Wang Tao that Wang Tao had been a fan of officials since he was a child. He had indeed thought about taking the civil service exam, but he had been hesitant.
Wang Tao's family is from a peasant background. Even if he is admitted to the civil service, he will still be at the lowest level. It is difficult to climb up. If he cannot climb up, he will be stuck at the bottom for his whole life. He has seen too many such examples.
In addition, his family needs money, and he needs his own salary to support his family. Although his current salary is not much, it is better than that of a civil servant. Once he takes the civil service examination, he will no longer be able to support his family in a short period of time.
Even so, Wang Tao also set a time limit for himself, three years, three years at most. He will definitely take the exam within three years. No matter what the future holds, he will go in even if he is trapped to death.
Now Gu Zheng asked him to take the exam now, and directly named him. As long as he can pass the exam, his future career will be smooth, and someone will specifically support him.
He didn't know Chang Le's true background, but he could feel that Chang Le was not an ordinary person. Since such a person could say such things, he must have the confidence.
"Okay, I will take the exam this year. Thank you Gu Zheng!"
"Don't thank me, I didn't give you a penny of help, I just said hello!"
Gu Zheng smiled again, and Wang Tao also smiled. Gu Zheng did not directly give 20 million like he did to Zhao Yongkui, but the value of this greeting was definitely not low, even higher than 20 million.
Wang Tao is very clear about how difficult it is to get into politics without any background or connections. Gu Zheng can give him this connection and background, which is already the greatest help.
Wang Tao did take the civil service exam and passed the exam. After that, with the help of the Chang family, he made rapid progress. Later, he finally understood the background of the Chang family, which was a very terrifying background.
At that time, he was even more grateful to Gu Zheng, but that was a story for another day.
Du Yang looked at the two men and was happy for them from the bottom of his heart. Although he had completely changed his destiny with Chang Feng's help, he had only just changed. He was powerless to help these two brothers.
Gu Zheng is different. Gu Zheng is now the most promising among the four. As long as he is willing to help, the two of them can definitely change their destiny completely and change like him.
Zhao Yongkui and Wang Tao were both satisfied. For Gu Zheng, it was just a favor from Chang Le and 20 million.
These ancient disputes are nothing. Chang Feng has arrived in Emei, and his relationship with the Chang family has become closer. If he opened this mouth, whether it is because of himself or because of Chang Feng, the Chang family will regard Wang Tao as Cultivate him as his own person. In this way, as long as Wang Tao has the ability, he will definitely have a good future in the future.
As for Zhao Yongkui, he has no big goals. His biggest hobby is photography. A top studio is his biggest wish.
The three of them left quickly, and Gu Zheng took them to the subway station.
Zhao Yongkui's 20 million will be in his account tomorrow. He is in a hurry to go back and find a suitable place to build a studio. Since he wants to do the best, the place is very important. This studio is not a hobby. He needs to make a profit to repay the money Gu Zheng lent him.
Wang Tao will read more books when he goes back. There are only a few months left for the civil service examination. He even plans to resign and prepare for the exam.
He understands that as long as he can pass the civil service examination, his fate will change completely. It will not be like before. Even if he passes the civil service examination, he does not know what his fate will be.
Of course, if he wants to change for the better, he still needs his efforts and his ability. The stronger his ability is, the further he can go in the future.
After sending the three people away, Gu Zheng returned home, took out his mobile phone and pressed a number, but he put the phone down after thinking for a while.
There is a group of numbers on the screen of the mobile phone, without a name, but this is the number that Gu Zheng is most familiar with. This is the phone number of his father Gu Ming. Gu Zheng wanted to notify his father, but finally gave up.
He wanted to give his father a surprise. He hadn't seen him for more than a year. He suddenly appeared in front of his father. He didn't know what his father's expression would be, but one thing was certain, he would be extremely surprised.
Three days later, Charles de Gaulle International Airport in France.
A Gulfstream G550 landed on the airport runway. After the crew, Chang Le and Gu Zheng got off the plane together.
It must be said that this private plane is comfortable, much better than ordinary civil aviation. No wonder many rich people like to buy private planes now. Not only can it save time and resources, but the most important thing is the comfort.
Gu Zheng was still thinking about whether he would buy one when he had money in the future. Although he could fly in the air after becoming a cultivator, flying by himself was not as comfortable as lying in a comfortable plane. Unfortunately, he had no official business at all and didn't need to fly out often, so this idea could only be abandoned.
Someone came to pick up Chang Le. Chang Le introduced Gu Zheng to everyone, which made many people couldn't help but look at Gu Zheng more.
They all knew who Chang Le was. The person who could get off the plane with Chang Le and was introduced by Chang Le with such importance must not be an ordinary person. Many people remembered Gu Zheng's appearance in their minds.
Chinese people live in a society of favors. In fact, foreign countries are not much different. They also know how to use relationships, but they don't use relationships to the extreme like Chinese people. Without relationships, they can't move forward.
"Chang Le, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go find my father first!"
After the introduction, Gu Zheng took Chang Le aside when he was free. He didn't know these people and had no intersection with him. Although there were many dignitaries among them, it was a pity that he had no interest at all.
"Okay, I'll send you a car. Contact me after you're done!"
"No need, I'll take a taxi directly and contact you later!"
Gu Zheng said hello to Chang Le and left. He didn't tell his father because he wanted to give him a surprise. Of course, he had to go quietly by himself.
Watching Gu Zheng leave elegantly, Chang Le couldn't help shaking his head again.
Gu Zheng didn't bring anything with him, not even a small bag. It was the first time he saw someone who went out without anything. Although he didn't bring much with him, he still had some personal belongings with him. Unlike Gu Zheng, he didn't have anything.
Gu Zheng didn't know what he was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely laugh.
He didn't bring anything with him. He brought a lot of things with him. He also bought a lot of things his father liked in China, and other things. But he put all of these into the prehistoric space. With the prehistoric space, it was really much easier for him to go out now.
Gu Ming works next to the famous Champs Elysees in France. It is a small Western restaurant. Although it is not big, it is very exquisite inside, and many customers have to make reservations.
This is a three-star restaurant led by Mickey. Whether it is service or taste, it is first-class.
Gu Zheng took a taxi directly to the vicinity of the restaurant. He had never been here before, but Gu Ming had told him the address long ago. With the reputation of the restaurant, it was not difficult to find it.
Gu Zheng also checked Gu Ming's working hours. He was at work today.
Wearing sunglasses, Gu Zheng walked into the restaurant and was immediately greeted by a waiter. The service in the restaurant was very good. Seeing that Gu Zheng had an oriental face, they first asked in English, and then tried Chinese and Japanese.
"I am Chinese!"
Gu Zheng replied directly in English, and let him not speak Japanese. Gu Zheng's English was not bad, and he actually knew some French. He took French as an elective in college.
"Hello, what would you like to order?"
The waiter's Chinese was not bad, but it sounded stiff, but the meaning was expressed. Gu Zheng looked at the menu and ordered a set meal directly.
This was a traditional set meal. The appetizer was served soon. Gu Zheng tasted it and it tasted okay, but it also had obvious flaws. This appetizer was definitely not made by his father.
In any case, Gu Ming was also a three-star chef, and the appetizer he made could not have such obvious flaws.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything and continued to taste the soup and dishes that followed. Only when the main course came did a faint smile appear on Gu Zheng's face. This main course was made by his father, and the previous ones were either made by the kitchen helper or other chefs here.
Gu Ming is the chef, but that doesn't mean he has to cook all the dishes himself. The main dish of this set meal is made by Gu Ming, which is not easy. After all, Gu Zheng did not reveal his identity. He is just an ordinary guest here.
"Waiter!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand and called the waiter over. The waiter was very polite after he came and asked Gu Zheng if he needed any help.
"Who made this steak? Tell him that I can make it better than his. Ask him if he dares to compete with me!"
Gu Zheng smiled, but the waiter was surprised. Gu Zheng's behavior was completely provocative. In Chinese terms, it is a challenge. However, he knew very well that this main dish was made by the chef who worked today.
Although their chef is a Chinese, his cooking skills are beyond reproach. Everyone respects him very much. The Chinese man in front of him actually wants to challenge their chef, which makes him instinctively alert.
Challenge, that is, challenge. This is the way Gu Zheng thought of to greet his father.
Gu Ming always talked about the importance of cooking skills and always wanted him to inherit the cooking skills. At that time, Gu Zheng was lazy and only wanted to eat but not cook. Now, by chance, he has better cooking skills and he has to show off in front of his father.
"Sir, are you kidding me?"
The waiter still asked, but Gu Zheng denied it. Seeing that Gu Zheng was not joking but serious, the waiter hurried away.
"Chinese, I want to see which Chinese will come to kick my restaurant!"
After a while, the waiter and a middle-aged man in chef's clothes came out. The middle-aged man was still talking while walking, but he was speaking Chinese and his voice was not loud, but Gu Zheng had very good hearing and heard it all.
"That's the gentleman!"
The two came quickly, and the waiter pointed at Gu Zheng, who had taken off his glasses and looked at his father with a smile.
Gu Ming was actually not very old, and was at the best age for a chef. Gu Ming was well maintained and looked like he was in his thirties in his forties. He looked at the smiling Gu Zheng, was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his hand.
"You little brat, you actually teased your dad!"
Gu Ming's next reaction was completely beyond Gu Zheng's expectation. He actually raised his hand and slapped Gu Zheng on the head. His father was scolding him, and Gu Zheng couldn't fight back. He could only hold his head and beg for mercy.
Fortunately, this was in a restaurant, and it was a Michelin three-star restaurant. Gu Ming only taught him a few gentle slaps and took him directly to the kitchen.
