Chapter 32 I dream of Shen Wancheng every night
After parting ways with Shen Wancheng and the others, Liang Muchao did not go home, but instead went to the Gu Mansion to find Gu Jinxing.
Gu Jinxing has just finished leg rehabilitation treatment.
Liang Muchao first inquired about his friend's health.
How is your leg recovering?
"About what we expected."
Where are the eyes?
"Same."
The rumors circulating in wealthy circles are that Gu Jinxing's leg will never heal and his eyes will never fully recover. The Gu family doesn't know the actual situation.
The answer Liang Muchao received was ambiguous, since he didn't know what Gu Jinxing's expectations were.
But Liang Muchao didn't press for details; he simply expressed his concern.
They struck the perfect balance in their relationship.
This is also why he and Gu Jinxing have a good relationship.
Gu Jinxing countered Liang Muchao's question, "What brings you here so suddenly?"
"Remember last time in Marseille, when I said I saw two pretty girls beating up three thugs?"
"Ah."
"I ran into them again today. They are so interesting. I feel like spring is coming."
Gu Jinxing remained indifferent, showing no interest in what Liang Muchao said, but he would still reply to him.
"You are like spring all year round."
Liang Muchao was displeased. "I'm serious this time. Both girls are very interesting."
"Oh."
"Hey, why are you such a spoilsport? I was really serious this time."
"I'm not interested in this."
"Then let me tell you something that might interest you."
"What?"
Liang Muchao knew that Gu Jinxing couldn't see, but he still sat down in front of Gu Jinxing and stared at him intently, trying to see some change in Gu Jinxing's perpetually indifferent face.
“One of those two pretty girls, the older sister, saw the potential of Wharf Holdings.”
How do you know she figured it out? Maybe someone gave you some pointers?
“I wasn’t sure at first either, so I befriended them and learned that both of them were from the mainland and were alone in Hong Kong. How could someone possibly be giving them advice?”
Gu Jinxing calmly continued drinking his coffee.
"By sheer chance."
“No, that’s not true. I also heard Shen Wancheng’s analysis. He said that if the Gu family wants to maintain its absolute authority in the freight industry for the next few years, it must take over Wharf Holdings. He also said that the Gu family has been in close contact with the Zhou family recently, so the people in power in the Gu family must have already taken action.”
Liang Muchao saw Gu Jinxing's hand, which was holding a coffee, freeze in mid-air, and he looked smug.
I knew Gu Jinxing would be interested.
"How could a young girl have guessed your actions so accurately? It couldn't have been just a fluke, could it? Even within the Gu family, most people are unaware of your intentions behind your frequent contact with the Zhou family."
Gu Jinxing remained silent for a long while before asking, "Where is this person?"
Gu Jinxing suddenly realized that Liang Muchao, who was unreliable most of the time, had actually discovered a talent this time.
"I don't know. Those two sisters are really bold. They used most of their savings to buy Wharf Holdings shares. They don't even have a pager. But I gave them my pager number before I left, so I'll wait for them to contact me."
Gu Jinxing habitually poured cold water on Liang Muchao.
"Others may not necessarily contact you again."
"Hey! You can't talk like that. I'm confident that I've made a very good impression on them, and they'll definitely come looking for me."
Gu Jinxing gave a noncommittal "hmm".
"Don't you believe me? Although I haven't talked much with that older sister, I can really talk about anything with Shen Yao."
"and then?"
Aside from knowing other people's names, I know nothing else; I rely entirely on one-way communication from others.
and many more.
Gu Jinxing looked up at Liang Muchao, his gaze sharp.
For a moment, Liang Muchao forgot that Gu Jinxing's eyes were injured and he couldn't see people at all.
Liang Muchao rarely saw Gu Jinxing show such concern, and he felt a little apprehensive.
"what happened?"
"What did you say the names of those two sisters were?"
"Shen Wancheng, Shen Yao, what's wrong?"
"From the inland?"
"Yes."
Gu Jinxing gave a snort with an inexplicable expression.
It's true what they say, someone who's been searching high and low and can't be found anywhere has actually come to Hong Kong Island.
Gu Jinxing has really felt like he's gone crazy in the past month.
He truly didn't go through a single night without dreaming about Shen Wancheng; every single thing that happened that night appeared countless times in his dreams.
Gu Jinxing vividly remembered every expression Shen Wancheng made, whether she was on top or on the bottom.
In his dream, every glance Shen Wancheng gave him felt like a thread binding his heart.
Gu Jinxing had never been so moved by any woman, or rather, by any person.
Every morning when he opens his eyes, he has only one thought in his mind.
Find her, find Shen Wancheng.
Gu Jinxing felt like he was going crazy, yet he didn't dislike this feeling of being out of control.
However, none of the people Gu Jinxing sent to the inland to look for Shen Wancheng found any news of her; it was as if Shen Wancheng had vanished into thin air.
Upon suddenly hearing the news that Shen Wancheng was in Hong Kong, Gu Jinxing felt as if a ray of hope had suddenly appeared in his heart.
Liang Muchao had no idea what Gu Jinxing was going through in that short moment.
He thought Gu Jinxing looked down on Shen Wancheng and her sister for coming from the inland.
Liang Muchao defended Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao, saying, "Although these two sisters come from the inland, they are not unsophisticated in terms of their clothing, manner of speaking, or temperament. They are quite interesting."
“Hmm.” Gu Jinxing rarely explained his reaction, “I didn’t look down on them because they came from the inland.”
"Hmm?" Liang Muchao was somewhat surprised, leaning closer to look at Gu Jinxing. "Interested?"
Gu Jinxing tactically drank water, avoiding Liang Muchao's gaze.
"It's alright, let me know next time they contact you."
"Okay."
Liang Muchao was quite pleased that Gu Jinxing was interested in Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao. It wasn't that he wanted to give Gu Jinxing women, but rather that he couldn't stand Gu Jinxing's usual cold demeanor, like a monk detached from worldly affairs.
Living in a dazzling world like Hong Kong Island, how can one transcend worldly concerns? Of course, one should enjoy life!
But when will Shen Wancheng and her sister page him?
*
Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao, who were being nagged by Liang Muchao, temporarily put Liang Muchao out of their minds.
The two sisters were preoccupied with finding jobs and making money.
Now that Shen Mei has found a job, the two of them are spending money.
Shen Wancheng saw a job posting for jockey trainees in the Horse Racing Daily that evening.
She asked Shen Yao if she was interested. Although Shen Yao felt that she was fully capable of riding like a professional jockey, she was still willing to apply and give it a try.
Shen Wancheng told Shen Yao the information she had learned about the jockey.
To become a certified jockey, one must first become a jockey trainee. Only by passing rounds of selection and assessment by the racecourse during the trainee period can one finally become a jockey at various racetracks.
Becoming a jockey doesn't necessarily mean you can participate in horse races; new jockeys usually start by trying out horses.
Some jockeys are unlucky and don't know how to scheme, so they may spend their whole lives doing test rides.
Some lucky jockeys, however, hit it off immediately with the racehorse during trial rides, developing a perfect rapport and being appointed as the racehorse's personal jockey by the owner.
Shen Yao was very confident in her riding skills and horse training abilities, and assured Shen Wancheng that she would definitely become a formal jockey within three months.
