Chapter 530: Chapter 530: I Only Drink 80 Degree Tea!

Old Sir Gu took a step back, his expression cold and guarded as he sized up the young man before him, his eyes wary.

"Who are you? You’re not a servant of our family. How did you end up here?"

The young man, belatedly realizing his omission, touched his head and said, "Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhou Xu. I was sent here by the boss to serve as your assistant while Mr. He is away. Our boss is your grandson, Gu Yu."

As he spoke, he flashed a broad grin and shook Old Sir Gu’s hand firmly, "Old Sir Gu, I’ll fill in for Mr. He during his absence. I used to work with computers and have never done this before, but don’t worry, since you are the boss’s grandfather, that makes you my grandfather too. I’ll definitely take good care of you!"

Zhou Xu quickly recited the lines he had prepared in advance, shaking Old Sir Gu’s hand several times with much enthusiasm, his heart already bursting with joy.

Zhou Xu could hardly believe his luck today; he actually got to shake hands with the richest man in Hua Country!

From the moment Zhou Xu began to speak, Old Sir Gu could tell from his words that he was unreliable, and his face quickly turned sour. He shook off Zhou Xu’s hand and said, "So Gu Yu really found me a wonderful assistant!"

With a huff, he turned to leave. Yet, as if Zhou Xu had misunderstood his disdain, he simply pushed the wheelchair and followed him,

"Old Sir Gu, are you heading to the study? Let me take you."

Ignoring Old Sir Gu’s objection, Zhou Xu snatched the walking stick from his hand, threw it away, and pushed him into the wheelchair.

Gripping the handles, Zhou Xu looked at the carved long corridor ahead of him, his eyes brimming uncontrollably with excitement.

"Old Sir Gu, are you seated well? Let’s go!"

"You—"

The wheelchair shot out at an alarmingly fast speed, causing Old Sir Gu to nearly spit out a breath that was sharply pushed back in.

"You, you, you—"

Zhou Xu, at the front, did not even hear Old Sir Gu’s cries of anger, continuously sprinting forward.

The floor of the carved corridor was made of highly polished wood, and designed with multiple bends, so the wheelchair had to turn quite frequently.

But not only did Zhou Xu not slow down, he even drifted around the corners.

Only when they finally stopped at the study door, did Old Sir Gu end up completely limp in the wheelchair, breathless and weak.

Zhou Xu, still full of energy, excitedly said, "Old Sir Gu, see? I got you here in just two minutes. I must be the most efficient assistant you’ve ever had, right?"

Old Sir Gu: "...."

He should have just paved a straight path through the garden!

"Old Sir Gu, Old Sir Gu."

Zhou Xu called out three times and, seeing that Old Sir Gu wasn’t responding and that his complexion was pale as he slumped in the wheelchair, he sighed.

"See? You still wanted to walk over here, and look, I was right to bring a wheelchair, wasn’t I?"

Then he leaned forward, bent down, and lifted Old Sir Gu into his arms.

"But don’t worry. I’ve been in the military in South Africa and trained quite a bit. I’m very strong. With me here, you won’t even need to walk."

Old Sir Gu: "...."

Was this guy sent by Gu Yu to torture him on purpose?

Finally seated in a chair in the study, Zhou Xu finally did something reasonable and brought over a pot of steaming hot tea.

"This just brewed, have a couple of sips to settle your nerves."

Gu Shengrong’s expression finally eased a bit.

But the terrifyingly high temperature of the cup when he picked it up made his hands tremble.

Gu Shengrong was now truly angry and slapped the table hard.

"I only drink tea at 80 degrees, are you trying to scald me to death?"

Zhou Xu’s mouth fell open.

No wonder the boss told him before he left that his grandfather was difficult to serve, and now it seemed true, the tea had to be at just the right temperature.

But thinking of the seven-figure salary in his card, and facing the world-class richest man sitting in front of him, Zhou Xu still endured it and squeezed out a very flamboyant smile the next second.

"Alright, Old Sir Gu, I will change it right now."

Saying so, he picked up the tea set and ran out.

The Gu Family mansion was truly too big, so big that he turned several circles and still couldn’t find where the tea room was.

With no choice, he eventually tiptoed to a water well nearby with the tea tray.

After all, it’s all water, drinking anything would be the same.

Zhou Xu, smiling broadly, brought in the green tea at 80 degrees.

"Old Sir Gu, please drink, the temperature is just right now."

"Hmm."

Gu Shengrong took the tea, took a sip, and the temperature was indeed just right, but the taste was quite strange.

But then again, considering this kid knew nothing, he endured it.

Seeing Old Sir Gu playing with a tablet, Zhou Xu immediately stretched his neck and moved closer.

"Old Sir Gu, are you trying to watch TV? Let me do it for you."

Gu Shengrong was not at all inexperienced with electronic products, quite the contrary, he was extraordinarily familiar with these electronic products popular among young people.

It was just that this model in his hand was a new product just developed by the Gu Group, it had only been delivered to him half a day ago, and he had absolutely no idea how to operate it.

But this was a good opportunity to give this clumsy youngster a hard time.

"Alright, here, you do it," Gu Shengrong raised his eyebrows and passed the tablet over, "I’m preparing to watch the variety show Gu Yu is participating in."

Zhou Xu’s eyes lit up immediately.

Great, he could enjoy his boss’s drama even while at work!

Just as Old Sir Gu was delighting in the thought that this kid would desperately struggle with a transparent tablet, he saw Zhou Xu’s fingertips rapidly tapping on the keyboard twice, and then a screen on the wall in front of him slowly descended.

The next second, the live broadcast of "Wilderness Survival 30 Days" was projected onto it.

Gu Shengrong: !!!

Was this kid so lucky?

He accidentally broadcast the TV?!

Seeing Old Sir Gu a bit surprised, Zhou Xu somewhat proudly introduced his own experience, "Old Sir Gu, don’t be too surprised, I got the national champion of a computer competition when I was in junior high, it was the professional kind, I went abroad for contests in high school, and in college, I formed a team and hacked a bank in M country, if not for the boss, I guess I would be in jail...."

Gu Shengrong: "..."

Isn’t this just a hacker?

He now sort of understood why Gu Yu would keep this oblivious kid around.

With such skills, if he wasn’t one of their own, then he would definitely become an enemy of the Gu Group.

The cost to deal with him then would not be small.

Thinking this, Gu Shengrong’s view of Zhou Xu warmed considerably.

"Alright, turn the volume up a bit."

"Got it."

Zhou Xu acted quickly and immediately switched to Gu Yu’s live broadcast.

Seeing the face that appeared on the screen, Old Sir Gu’s expression softened a lot more.

His, Gu Shengrong’s, genes were excellent, his grandson’s face was beyond reproach, it was just that the hair color was a bit glaring.
