I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Chapter 220: [52,099 yuan had been deposited.] (1)

Something occurring to her, Gu Xi added, The judge also told us that the topic, which is T&S has a bright future and it was well-received?

It was quite good.

And that the concept stemmed from our project? asked Gu Xi again.

Mmhmm, replied Gu Shao.

Listening to Gu Xis string of questions and seeing her curious look, Gu Shao found that comical. He asked her, Would you like to go see it?

YES!

That was the first thought that popped into Gu Xis mind.

That being said, after she had calmed down, Gu Xi started to hesitate she was very curiuos what the actual product was like but, she was also worried that it would negatively impact her when she looked back at their crude design after looking at the real thing.

After a long hesitation, Gu Xi finally bit her lips and shook her head, No, I think Ill wait on that.

Lets talk about something else, said Gu Xi to Gu Shao all of a sudden.

What is it?

Something very important. Gu Xi sat down in the chair across from Gu Shao desk before she pointed at Gu Shaos chair. Dad, you go and sit there.

Gu Shao raised his brows when he heard Gu Xis words. A look of surprise flashed past his eyes. He walked over to the other side of his desk and sat down in front of his daughter nonetheless.

Alright, what is it that you want to talk about? Looking at the very solemn look on Gu Xi, Gu Shao had to try hard not to laugh out loud.

Theres something very serious I want to talk to you about, Boss Gu, said Gu Xi very seriously.

Boss Gu? Gu Shaos eyes flickered.

Gu Xi, Uh, Comrade Gu?

Gu Shao, Try Dad.

Um, Dad. Intimidated, Gu Xi addressed Gu Shao as Dad docilely.

Out with it.

About the T&S project. We are looking at good future market and ROI, am I right?

Looking at Gu Xis look of anticipation, Gu Shao nodded and said neutrally, Its not bad. It fits well with future market development and has a wide range of applications.

So, you would say it will be a profitable project then, asked Gu Xi.

Mmhmm. Gu Shao nodded. Truth was, some enterprises had already reached out to NTN after their demonstration the other day expressing their interest in the product.

Good then. Gu Xi smiled and said, Em, Dad. You see, this project has such a bright future and will likely bring in a lot of money for NTN. Its a good subject and a very innovative idea, right? As the idea came from our topic, so

Gu Xi gave Gu Shao a somewhat guilty smile.

It wasnt easy to say it out loud, but Gu Xi still gritted her teeth and summoned up encourage to say it out loudly, Should you be paying us, Dad?

Yes? By the last word, Gu Xi lost her guts again.

..Gu Shao was taken aback when he heard that. Obviously, that wasnt what he was expecting from Gu Xi.

Gu Shaos lips twitched almost unnoticeably. You want money?

Yes! Em, yes Gu Xi put up a courageous front despite the intimidation that she was feeling and nodded. She was here to talk to Gu Shao about money.

The seriousness on Gu Xi made Gu Shao want to laugh. Nevertheless, he maintained his cool and asked nonchalantly, How much do you want?

Well Gu Xi thought about it some and said, 2,000! No, 5,000!

Gu Xi couldnt even maintain her courageous front for over 2 seconds. The next second, she asked uncertainly, 5,000 is not asking too much, is it?

Gu Shao studied Gu Xi a little.

He couldn't help but thought to himself: He had been nice to this girl. Food, clothes, she had everything that she needed. Why did she want money so badly? Did she not know that she could spend as much money as she wanted with the bank card that he had given her?

It suddenly dawned on Gu Shao that, with the exception of that one time that she had bought him a tie, Gu Xi had never spent a penny from that card.

Not noticing the smile that was hidden inside Gu Shaos eyes. Gu Xi was intimidated by Gu Shaos look.

Or, I can take 3 4,000. 4,000 will be fine too. Gu Xi stuck out three fingers at Gu Shao first then quickly added another one and gestured a 4.

4,000. I dont think I am asking for too much here.

No, not too much, said Gu Shao. Except that he should never let Gu Xi go strike any business deals.
