Transmigration: A Plan to Save My Lovely Wife and Adorable Child
Chapter 180 – The Song Request Has Arrived
No one could understand what Liu Gao was trying to do, not even Gu Xingyi. He knew someone was definitely stirring things up behind the scenes in this incident, but he couldn't figure out the purpose behind their actions!
Were they trying to distract him by throwing dirt on him? And then prevent him from focusing on Hua Country's Strongest Voice?
If that was the case, then Gu Xingyi could only say that the person who came up with this idea was incredibly foolish! To think something like this could make him lose focus on songwriting—it was simply a joke!
And the day after the incident, three unexpected visitors arrived at Xingyao Entertainment.
When the three arrived, Gu Xingyi was not at the company. Li Wenjing, the receptionist, looked at the three elderly men with imposing auras and couldn't help but wonder who they were. She quickly stood up and greeted them.
"Hello, may I ask who you're here to see?"
The elderly man at the front smiled warmly and replied while the three of them surveyed the surroundings.
"We're here to see Gu Xingyi. Is he at the company?"
"Are you looking for President Gu? Please wait a moment. He's not in the office right now, but I'll contact him for you."
"Thank you, little miss. Just tell him Lin Guodong is here."
"Sure, please come into the reception room and rest for a bit. Lele-jie, someone is here to see President Gu, can you please come and greet them?"
Li Wenjing quickly replied, feeling that these elderly men were no ordinary visitors. She hurriedly notified Tao Lele to come and make sure they were treated well, not wanting to make a mistake.
Tao Lele rushed over, quickly guiding the three elderly men into the reception room where they were served tea.
The three elderly men politely thanked her, and then one of them smiled at another, complaining,
"Xiao Lin, I told you we should have contacted him in advance. Who just shows up unannounced like this?"
"Didn't I want to surprise him? Don't young people like this kind of thing? I didn't expect this kid to not even be in the office at this hour."
As soon as he finished speaking, another elderly man immediately chimed in.
"Heh, we're all getting on in years, still playing these games. But this company of Xiao Gu's is organized well, although a bit small. Oh, I've been hearing you praise him so much, I wanted to meet the person behind it. Too bad, we came up empty."
After finishing his sentence, the old man turned to Tao Lele, who was standing to the side, looking stiff. He smiled and said,
"Little miss, don't be so tense. We're just three old men, not bad people. By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves. I'm Bai Yongzhi, president of the Hua Country Charity Association. This is Du Gu, the chief director of Huayang TV, and the other is Lin Guodong, the chief director of Huayin."
When Tao Lele heard their self-introduction, her mind went blank. All she could think of were the names Hua Country Charity, Huayang, and Huayin.
These were all figures she never even imagined she would meet!
And today, they had come to Xingyao Entertainment!
Seeing Tao Lele's stunned expression, Bai Yongzhi continued,
"Recently, there's been a lot of negative talk about President Gu online. Why does it seem like he's not in any hurry to address it?"
As soon as they arrived at Xingyao Entertainment, the three elderly men were pleased with what they saw. The company didn't appear to have been affected at all. Everyone at work was smiling, which surprised Bai Yongzhi.
You have to know that in other companies, when such an incident happens, the PR team would have long been working to clean things up.
And Bai Yongzhi was well aware of Gu Xingyi's donations. After all, every donation had been made through the Hua Country Charity. He had donated a significant amount—after all, it was thirty percent of the company's earnings. It was easy to imagine how much that amounted to.
Upon hearing Bai Yongzhi's question, Tao Lele finally came to her senses. Although her mind was still in a daze, she quickly spoke up.
"Because President Gu said, 'Do good deeds without worrying about the future; follow your heart without worrying the destination. As long as we do the right thing, we won't worry about personal gains and losses, and we don't need to care about people's gossip. We just need to be at peace with ourselves.'"
"Oh?"
The three elderly men all brightened their eyes at the same time. Bai Yongzhi murmured the phrase "Do good deeds without worrying about the future" and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Good, 'Do good deeds without worrying about the future'! I'm really starting to look forward to meeting this young man more and more!"
"Haha! Lao Bai! How did I guess? That Xiao Gu kid, he's not in a hurry at all. That's why I like him!"
"I agree with Xiao Lin's view on this. Although I've never met him, my first impression of him is that he's someone who remains unruffled by praise or criticism, and his demeanor shows the elegance of one who has read much."
At that moment, the door to the reception room was hurriedly opened. The group turned their heads to see Gu Xingyi rushing in.
"Lao Lin! I could hear you all praising me from outside, and now I'm embarrassed to come in! Who are these two gentlemen?"
As Gu Xingyi walked in, he awkwardly smiled. Hearing others praise him like this made him feel shy, especially since those were famous sayings from the original world's big shots, and he was just a transporter of their words.
This praise was making him uneasy.
"Haha, you're embarrassed? Let me introduce you," Lin Guodong smiled as he stood up. "This is Du Gu, the one you missed meeting last time, from Huayang, and this is Bai Yongzhi, the main person who came to find you, representing Hua Country Charity."
The three elderly men also stood up, and Lin Guodong continued to introduce them.
"Lao Du, Lao Bai, I'm really sorry for troubling you to come all the way. Please, sit down and talk. You're making me feel embarrassed."
Gu Xingyi hurriedly shook hands with the elderly gentlemen, then quickly asked them to sit down. Only after that did he sit down on the opposite side. Tao Lele had been standing nervously, but when Gu Xingyi gave her a glance, she anxiously sat down.
There was nothing she could do. The most formidable person she had ever seen was Gu Xingyi. Now, meeting these three elderly gentlemen who had held high positions for years, it was strange if she wasn't nervous!
At the same time, her admiration for Gu Xingyi grew. She had always thought Gu Xingyi was amazing, but she didn't realize how incredible he was until now—able to converse with these big shots so casually!
"Three old gentlemen, I wonder if there's anything important you need from me today?"
After everyone sat down, Gu Xingyi asked.
Aside from Lin Guodong, Du Gu and Bai Yongzhi were seeing Gu Xingyi for the first time. They carefully observed him, and the more they looked, the more pleased they were.
Although they were old, they could tell from his spirit what kind of person he was.
"Since you've already called us old gentlemen, I'll stop hiding it. Xiao Gu, we're here today because we'd like to ask you to compose a song. You've already composed for Lao Lin and Lao Du before, so now it's time to compose one for Hua Country Charity!"
"We've been planning a publicity program for our Hua Country Charity recently, and just so happened to see your work online. I discussed it with the two old fellows, and we thought—why not ask you? You're famous, great at composing songs, and your charity work is top-notch! Besides you, I can't think of anyone else!"
"Xiao Gu, how about it? Are you interested?"
Bai Yongzhi looked at Gu Xingyi, smiling, and the other two elderly men looked over as well.
