Chapter 2278: Emotional Value

Emotional Value

Zhou Andong was full of smiles, raised his thumb high, and said with admiration in his eyes, "Fifth Brother is really domineering. I firmly believe that as long as you are here, the monsters and ghosts in the Woolen Mill will surely be subdued and bow down to you."

Gu Bing chuckled, "I know you're fooling me, but I love to hear it. You can say more things like this in the future."

"You're starting a dye shop if I give you a little color, right?" Zhou Andong rolled his eyes at Gu Bing. "It's fine if you want me to flatter you every day, ten yuan a sentence."

"Fuck!" Gu Bing cursed. "Why don't you go to the bank to rob money? Ten yuan a sentence, what, can you spit out golden lotuses?"

"You don't understand this." Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette. "My flattery isn't just moving my lips; this is called providing you with emotional value, understand? Since I put in the labor, it's reasonable to charge a corresponding fee."

Gu Bing was confused, not understanding what Zhou Andong meant by emotional value, so he frowned and asked suspiciously, "What the hell? Emotional value?"

"Emotional value, how should I put it." Zhou Andong raised his hand and scratched his head. "For example, right now, your heart is filled with sadness, sorrow, and depression, and you've even had negative thoughts like hanging yourself, jumping into a river, or touching an electric gate."

"I flatter you, praise you wildly, drive all your negative emotions out of your heart, and let you have positive emotions like happiness, satisfaction, and joy instead. Then this is the emotional value I give you."

"And in this process, you paid me money, so this money naturally becomes the emotional gain I obtained."

Gu Bing laughed. "If the King of Hell heard what you said, he'd have to give you his chair."

"Daddy!"

At this moment, a light sound of footsteps approached, and Su Su was seen running toward them in a rush.

The little girl had her hair tied into two small buns, wearing a white princess dress dotted with small red and blue floral patterns, and a pair of delicate white sandals on her feet.

In addition, she was carrying a small bag diagonally across her shoulder, bulging, not knowing what treasures were inside.

Old Four chased after her. "Run slower, if you fall, your dad will blame me, your Fourth Aunt, for not watching you."

Hearing Old Four's words, Zhou Andong's mouth twitched, and he responded helplessly, "I say, Fourth Aunt of Su Su, when have I ever blamed you?"

Old Four curled her lips. "Su Su hasn't fallen, so what would you blame me for?"

"Hahaha..."

Gu Bing laughed happily, patted Zhou Andong on the shoulder, and said to Old Four, "Old Four, tell Fifth Brother what you want, and Fifth Brother will buy it for you."

Hearing Gu Bing's words, she asked very surprised, "For no reason, why buy me something?"

Gu Bing said with a smile, "How can it be for no reason? Look, originally I was in a bad mood because of your brother, and my heart was full of negative emotions."

"But you just made your brother eat a loss, my negative emotions are gone, completely replaced by positive emotions. Now I'm very, very happy, and it's all brought by you. This is called emotional value. So, as a reward, it's only right for me to give you a small gift. This counts as your emotional gain."

"Huh?" Old Four blinked her stupid and cute eyes, nodded half-understandably, then put her hands behind her back, tilted her head and thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "Hmm... since that's the case, then okay. But I haven't thought about what I want yet, I'll tell you when I think about it."

"No problem, no problem!" Gu Bing agreed very readily. "Take your time, don't worry."

Zhou Andong sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said, "Alright, let's not dawdle, time is almost up, let's go."

Gu Bing asked, "How to go?"

Zhou Andong grabbed Su Su's little hand. "It's not far, just a few steps, of course, walk there."

Gu Bing looked up at the scorching sun in the sky. "It's so hot, you actually want to walk there, is your brain flooded?"

Zhou Andong led Su Su and walked away with a leisurely pace. Su Su, like a happy little bird, jumped and jumped, occasionally making giggling sounds.

Zhou Andong continued to walk out unhurriedly, and Su Su, held by his little hand, jumped and jumped, occasionally making giggling sounds.

Gu Bing saw this, looked up at the sky again, muttered something in his heart, the lip shape shouldn't be anything good, and finally shook his head helplessly, and walked quickly to catch up.

The Jingcheng Hotel is in the East City, located on Chang'an Street, very close to Anqiu Hutong, and the time is very sufficient. Walking there and taking a walk with the children is actually quite good.

"Wait!"

Just as they went out the gate, Sister Liu chased out with two umbrellas. "It's really too sunny, Ningning and Su Su are still young, so be careful, don't let them get heatstroke."

"Thank you, Sister Liu!" Old Four thanked her very politely, and then took the umbrella, one for Zhou Andong, and she opened another one herself.

"Su Su, Daddy will hold you." Zhou Andong squatted down slowly, carefully stretched out one hand to open the umbrella, and the other hand gently hugged Su Su into his arms and picked her up.

Gu Bing stood still, his eyes closely following Zhou Andong, who was holding an umbrella and holding Su Su, and Old Four, who was following closely and also holding an umbrella.

This moving family picture was warm and beautiful, and then he looked up at the scorching sun hanging in the sky again, and a sense of lonely desolation surged from his heart, even the scorching sun above his head couldn't make him feel any warmth.

"Oh!" Just then, an exclamation broke the silence. Sister Liu slapped her head hard and shouted with a face full of apology: "Mr. Gu, I'm really sorry, look at my memory, I actually forgot you. Please wait a moment, I'll go get you an umbrella right away."

This sudden remark was like the sound of nature entering Gu Bing's ears, instantly igniting the fire of hope that was about to go out in his heart. He, who thought he had been forgotten, felt a trace of warmth and care, and was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

Not long after, Sister Liu hurried back with an umbrella. Gu Bing took the umbrella with full gratitude and sighed, "It's really true that there is true love in the world, and true love warms the heart everywhere."

Afterward, Gu Bing opened the umbrella and strode quickly to catch up.

"Hey!" Zhou Andong saw Gu Bing, who was also holding an umbrella, chasing up: "Where did you get the umbrella?"

"Do you think Sister Liu will be as heartless as you?" Gu Bing rolled his eyes at Zhou Andong and snorted: "She just forgot to get it for me."

Zhou Andong's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Sister Liu is good at everything, but sometimes she is a bit careless. This time she must have really forgotten to get you an umbrella."

At this time, the scorching sun in the sky was hanging high, mercilessly roasting the earth, and rolling heat waves rushed toward them. However, there were quite a few people on Chang'an Street, looking very lively, all going to Qianmen or the square.

It is currently the holiday, and many parents will take their children out to play. Of course, there are also many tourists with accents from other places, who are curiously looking around or excitedly taking pictures.

Gu Bing walked while looking at the crowd, and said with some difficulty in understanding: "In such a hot ghost weather, isn't it good to stay comfortably at home?"

"Even if there is no air conditioning at home, at least there is a fan to blow. If there is no fan, then find a cool tree shade to sit down, and everyone can chat and cool off together, isn't it much better than wandering around in the sun like a fool?"

"Don't you see many are children?" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "When you have children yourself in the future, many things will naturally be understood and realized."

"By the way!" Gu Bing suddenly said: "Are you really so confident that the audit personnel sent by the Overseas Trust Bank can find problems in the Woolen Mill's finances?"

Zhou Andong shook his head gently, and answered calmly: "Who can guarantee this? After all, things are unpredictable, and no one can be 100% sure of the result."

"However, having said that, the audit experts of the Overseas Trust Bank are indeed experienced and experienced. If there are problems in the Woolen Mill's finances, it is difficult to escape their audit."

"No matter what kind of person, no matter how powerful, even if their means of falsification are superb and their ability is beyond ordinary people, wanting to make a set of fake accounts without any flaws and seamless is almost a daydream. Because as long as it is fake, it will definitely leave subtle traces to be traced."

The two chatted while walking, and unknowingly, the Jingcheng Hotel was already close at hand. Looking up, I saw that there were people in front of the hotel gate, looking quite lively.

Gu Bing saw this and couldn't help but say: "Look at this posture, so many people gathered at the gate, it is estimated that the wedding car for welcoming the bride is coming soon."

"Since the bride is coming soon, let's wait at the gate." Zhou Andong held Su Su and walked slowly to the back of the crowd. Because he was holding a large umbrella and holding Su Su, no one recognized him.

"Daddy!" Su Su stretched out a chubby little arm, affectionately hugged her father's neck, then twisted her petite body, opened her round, curious eyes, stared at the crowd, and asked in a milky voice.

"What is a bride?"

Hearing the little guy's innocent question, Zhou Andong's mind instantly flashed a very famous book, which is 'One Hundred Thousand Whys'.

This question is very simple, but it is a bit difficult to give a proper explanation to Su Su who is only two years old.

After all, she is too young and her cognitive level is limited. No matter how you explain it, I am afraid it is difficult to really understand.

But in the young heart of the child, Dad is a superhero who knows everything and can do everything, and no problem can stump him, so as a father, he cannot ignore the questions raised by the child.

Just when Zhou Andong was racking his brains to think about how to answer, Gu Bing on the side suddenly laughed: "Su Su's question is really great, Fifth Uncle decided to reward the smart and cute little Su Su, and buy you an ice cream."

As soon as the voice fell, the little girl who had been focusing on the crowd turned her head immediately. When she heard the word 'ice cream', her two watery eyes instantly bloomed with surprise, and she danced happily: "Thank you Fifth Uncle, I like eating ice cream the most."

"Hahaha!"

Gu Bing laughed happily again, which immediately caused many people to turn their heads to look, among whom a big and thick young man 'eh'ed and walked over quickly.

"Fifth Brother!"

Seeing the young man walking quickly, Gu Bing was stunned: "Er Biaozi, do you have any friendship with Tang Lin?"

"No!" Er Biaozi shook his head: "I came for the Nie family."

Gu Bing realized: "Yes, yes, I forgot, your grandfather is an old subordinate of Elder Nie."

"Yes, although Elder Nie is no longer here, Sister Wen has always supported me when I was bullied when I was a child. So, even if our two families didn't have this relationship, I would still have to come." Speaking of this, Er Biaozi smiled: "Anyway, I was always intercepted and cleaned up when I was a child."

Gu Bing shook his head with a smile: "You kid, you were big and thick since you were a child, but you were always intercepted and cleaned up."

Er Biaozi also laughed: "No way, my grandfather often grabbed the ears of our brothers and said, Jingcheng, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, speak and do things cautiously, even if you suffer a little loss, it doesn't matter, don't be fussy."

Zhou Andong raised his eyebrows and raised his head slightly, looking at Er Biaozi. No matter how you look at this guy, he is not a fuel-saving lamp, especially his name Er Biaozi, which is not consistent with his behavior at all.

Er Biaozi felt Zhou Andong's gaze, turned his head, and said with a full face of doubt: "Brother, I look at you so familiar, as if I have seen you somewhere."

Gu Bing blinked, and then said: "You look carefully again."

Zhou Andong put Su Su on the ground: "Go play with Fourth Aunt, don't run around."

When Zhou Andong stood up straight, Er Biaozi finally recognized him: "Zhou Andong!"

Before Zhou Andong could speak, this guy stretched out both hands, grabbed Zhou Andong's hand and shook it: "Chairman Zhou, sorry, sorry, just now you were holding the child, blocking half of your face, and holding an umbrella, I really didn't recognize you for a while."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I am not Renminbi, how can everyone know me? It is normal not to recognize me." ===== CHAPTER 2279 =====
