I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father - Chapter 247

Chapter 247 – Gu Xi ran over happily toward Gu Shao when she saw him. (3)

“How about cash?” asked Gu Xi.

“That works.” The worker nodded and added, “But, we can’ only cut you a check. You will need to cash it yourself.”

“Alright.” Gu Xi nodded.

Finally, the worker had Accounts Payable wrote out 3x 5,000 yuan check for Gu Xi and the others.

The three had very different looks on them when they received their prize money.

Dong Mingming was planning excitedly how to spend the money.

Gu Xi only had one idea in mind: Put it into saving! Her risk-management fund would go up again!

Sheng Xiuyan, on the other hand, was very nonchalant. Instead, he was very baffled when he saw how excited Gu Xi was.

Gu Yanxiao and the others were never short money; as such, Gu Xi shouldn’t either. Why did she look so “unworldly” then?

At this rate, if they were to win the 1-million-yuan prize money from Tianchuang Competition, Gu Xi would likely pass out from happiness.

Sheng Xiuyan grumbled to himself.

Nevertheless, recalling that the first round of Tianchuang Competition was going to be the following week and he could no longer avoid it, Sheng Xiuyan was not so happy all of a sudden.

***

Gu Xi had no idea what was going through Sheng Xiuyan’s head nor was she baffled that Sheng Xiuyan did not look particularly happy.

Sheng Xiuyan was, after all, the high and mighty valedictorian. It would be odd if he was cheery like them.

When Gu Xi spotted Gu Shao, however, she happily ran up to him and share her happiness of winning the award.

Gu Shao had thought that with the girl’s money-loving tendency, she would for sure first show the check to him.

He was, however, wrong: Gu Xi first showed the trophy to him.

“Look, Dad, our team took first place!” Gu Xi’s eyes were sparkling when she showed off her trophy to Gu Shao.

“Not bad,” said Gu Shao.

Having said that, Gu Xi blinked eagerly as she continued to look at Gu Shao.

Gu Shao lifted his brows, chuckled, and asked, “You want some sort of a reward?”

“No……” What she wanted to say was: Perhaps you should consider and pay more attention to this outstanding student with so much potential.

NTN will, through some examinations and competitions, identify students with high potential for observation and nurturing. SL Youth Innovation Competition was one of the competitions that NTN monitored.

That was why Gu Xi hoped that Gu Shao would notice her.

That was the main purpose of her joining this competition.

Gu Shao, however, did not seem to get her hint.

Gu Shao chuckled again and patted Gu Xi on her head. “You will get your reward when we get home. Let’s head out.”

Gu Shao had more work that needed taken care of that afternoon; as such, he had parted ways with Sheng Yi and Father and Mother Dong with Gu Xi.

Looking at the docile Gu Xi following behind Gu Shao, Sheng Yi couldn’t help but grumbled to himself, “How was that guy so lucky? He just got such a pretty and cute daughter out of nowhere……”

Having said that, he glanced over at his son who was standing about a meter away from him and suddenly did not feel as happy anymore. Sure enough, a little padded jacket is much cuter.

“I wonder which lucky boy will end up with her in the future.” Sheng Yi suddenly lamented after the early-romance discussion with Gu Shao just a little while ago.

Having said that, Sheng Yi was suddenly pleased by the thought that: No matter who it is, with a father-in-law like Gu Shao and the other Gu family members, it would probably not be very pleasant. Haha.

On the other end, after getting into the car, Xu Fei handed a document over to Gu Shao and said, “Boss, this is the material for our meeting.”

Gu Shao took the document from Xu Fei and Gu Xi happened to see the words Oceanic Transportation Monitoring System and she was excited all over again.

“Is Dad’s meeting in a little while on this Oceanic Transportation Monitoring System?” asked Gu Xi.

“That’s right.” Xu Fei nodded and added, “The meeting today is to iron out some of the details on this system.”

The technology for such a system was not difficult to NTN, let alone the fact that their boss had requested this to be done as soon as possible.

As such, the research and development department had quickly completed the office monitoring equipment and system after their last demonstration. The only remaining parts were the installation of the equipment and the kicking off.

Gu Xi nodded when she heard Xu Fei’s explanation.
