Chapter 3177 Shen Tianyu 577

Gu Chufan and Shi Shi's engagement ceremony and banquet were very grand.

The scale of the engagement was even higher than that of Gu Jinzhou's engagement back then.

This was proposed by Gu Jinzhou, and he also personally organized the engagement banquet.

He even paid for the betrothal gifts out of his own pocket, adding an extra 30 million.

On the day of the engagement banquet, Gu Jinzhou got drunk.

He had always had a bad temper, and no one dared to force him to drink. In his twenty-six years of life, he had only been drunk a handful of times.

This was the drunkest I've ever been.

After getting completely drunk, Gu Jinzhou held onto Gu Chufan tightly and refused to let go, calling him "little brother" repeatedly, even more affectionately than Gu Chufan had called him "brother" when they were children.

He kept saying, "Fanfan, I'm so sorry! Fanfan, you love me the most! Fanfan, my dear little brother, you've suffered so much all these years!"

No one expected that such a cold and proud person would suddenly become so clingy and sentimental after getting drunk.

Gu Chufan was both amused and exasperated.

He patted Gu Jinzhou on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you're drunk. Brother, you haven't done anything wrong to me. It's no one's fault but fate. Brother, don't blame yourself."

Gu Jinzhou still refused to let go of him.

He rested his head on his neck, closed his eyes, and whispered, "Brother, brother, my dear brother."

He disliked Gu Chufan's coquettishness since he was a child.

He complains that he's always following him around, calling him "brother, brother" incessantly.

However, at Gu Chufan's engagement banquet, everyone in the banquet hall heard him calling out for his younger brother, at least hundreds of times.

Unfortunately, he was also very skilled, and no one could separate him from Gu Chufan.

Little Qingbao glared at him with her big, slanted eyes, and asked Yan Qingyu in her sweet, childlike voice, "Mommy, has my daddy been possessed again?"

Yan Qingyu patted her fluffy little head. "Your dad is happy. It's rare for him to be happy, so let him be."

Little Qingbao buried her face between her two little hands, her little mouth moving slightly, "How embarrassing, I still prefer Daddy's aloof look."

Yan Qingyu laughed, "Just this once, let him go crazy. It's rare to be so unrestrained in life."

"Won't his stomach feel uncomfortable after drinking so much?"

"He took some stomach medicine beforehand, and he'll try to get rid of the alcohol in his body when he gets back. He doesn't usually drink excessively; it's okay if he drinks too much occasionally."

Xiao Qingbao still felt ashamed of her father's drunken outburst.

Of course, losing face is secondary.

She felt sorry for him.

If Mom can't handle it, she will.

She got off the chair and, with her slender legs, walked over to the two brothers.

She reached out her little hand and tugged at Gu Jinzhou's trousers, "Dad, today is Second Uncle's engagement, what are you doing, a mere guest, trying to steal the show?"

Her sweet, childlike voice was clear and strong.

She put her hands on her small waist, tilted her head back, and stared at Gu Jinzhou with her big, dark eyes. She was clearly an extremely beautiful and adorable little child, but she had the air of a matriarch.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Gu Jinzhou immediately sobered up a bit.

He patted Gu Chufan's back hard and said, "Little brother, you and Shi Shi must be good to each other. You must grow old together and have a baby soon! I want to drink more on your wedding day!"

Little Qingbao gave a sweet snort, "Daddy, that's enough."

Shi Shi thought she was so cute.

Such a small child, yet she manages Gu Jinzhou like a housekeeper.

She bent down and picked up Xiao Qingbao.

Xiao Qingbao touched Shi Shi's hair and said, "Second Aunt, you look so beautiful today, so beautiful."

Shi Shi smiled, "Little Qingbao is even more beautiful."

Little Qingbao said earnestly, "Second Aunt, my second uncle looks exactly like my dad. If you have a daughter, she will be as beautiful as me."

Shi Shi's smile deepened. "Thank you for your kind words."

In the end, Gu Jinzhou was helped away by Gu Yifeng.

Little Qingbao, held in Gu Qianyun's arms, followed behind and muttered, "Daddy, it's okay to drink a lot, but don't drink too much. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're handsome."

At such a young age, she already knows many idioms, all taught to her by Yan Qingyu.

Gu Chufan and Shi Shi continued to offer toasts.

It's time to show respect to family.

Many members of the Shi family who lived overseas also flew back to attend their engagement party.

The Shi family occupied five tables.

They weren't the richest or the most good-looking people in the room, but they were the most educated, all holding master's or doctoral degrees, and even medical doctorates.

As is well known, medicine is one of the most challenging professions.

Shi Shi held up her wine glass and called out to everyone in turn.

Second grandfather, second grandmother, third grandfather, third grandmother, second maternal grandfather, third maternal grandfather, fourth maternal grandfather, aunt, great-aunt, great-uncle, uncle, cousin, cousin, cousin, cousin, cousin...

She called out once, and Gu Chufan called out once more.

The two men took turns toasting each other.

Shi Shi didn't mince words, openly recruiting people: "Dear elders and brothers and sisters, I am currently in charge of the pharmaceutical company under the Gu Group. Gu Group Pharmaceutical accounts for half of the pharmaceutical companies in the country. If you can return to China, your salary will double. Come back, Gu Group Pharmaceutical needs you, and the motherland needs you."

She suddenly said that.

No one had told us beforehand.

Everyone looked at each other.

Mr. Shi, holding a wine glass, walked over from Gu Aoting's table and said, "Fanfan's shares in Gu's Pharmaceutical have been transferred to Shi Shi. Shi Shi is a shareholder of Gu's Pharmaceutical, and she can make the final decision on salary issues. Of course, what everyone cares about is not the salary, but the research and development atmosphere. Shi Shi will set up a special department for everyone. This is a private enterprise, so there is no bureaucracy as you are worried about. Everyone just needs to focus on research and experiments, and leave the rest to me and Shi Shi."

This is such a big problem that everyone needs to consider.

Many of them have settled abroad.

One small change can have far-reaching consequences.

Shi Shi said, "I may have been a bit abrupt in bringing this up, but you don't need to rush to answer my question. Just give me your reply after you've thought it over."

Everyone agreed.

Several tables of people clinked their glasses and chatted happily.

Gu Chufan glanced at Shi Shi.

Four years have passed, and she has not only transformed from a student into a promising dermatologist, but also from an innocent, lively, and naive young girl into a refined, capable, and highly intelligent woman.

Gu Beixian and Su Hua led the applause.

Jing Hong and Bai Chenxue also applauded.

Jing Hong's drum was the loudest.

The stronger the relationship between Gu Chufan and Shi Shi, the more at ease he felt.

He placed his large hand on Bai Chenxue's lower abdomen and whispered, "Jing Bai, your Uncle Fanfan has finally settled down. Thank goodness, you almost didn't have the chance to be reborn into my lover's womb."

Bai Chenxue rolled her eyes at him.

He really loves to show off his relationship.

She felt both shy and happy as she listened.

Just then, Gu Aoting, holding a wine glass and supported by his bodyguard, walked over, raised his glass to Jing Hong, and said loudly, "Ah Hong, today, I, Old Gu, must toast you properly!"

Jing Hong stood up, holding his wine glass.

Gu Aoting slammed his wine glass against Hong's, "Ah Hong, you're the lucky charm! The moment you arrived, all the deadlock was broken, and lovers were finally united! I, Old Gu, thank you! A thousand thanks!"
