Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral-Chapter 93: Gu · Fiery Eyes · Knowledge

As soon as a few people stepped into No.2 Homestay, they were bombarded by the pink curtains inside.

Jiang Xiangwan and Sun Chaohua saw guests coming and quickly came out to welcome them, taking the old man for a tour of the homestay while introducing the prices.

"The prices are quite reasonable, more normal than next door," the old man said nonchalantly. After seeing all the rooms, he shook his head. "But these rooms aren’t suitable for me, haha, the colors are strange, they feel off to me."

[Hahaha, ’the colors are strange,’ official criticism is the most lethal.]

[Sun must feel this way too / dog head emoji.]

"Pfft," Sun Chaohua couldn’t help but laugh, "I think so too, but my room doesn’t have those things. If you want to stay, I can clean up my room for you?"

"No, no, that’s too much trouble. Didn’t you say there’s another place? I’ll go take a look."

Sun Chaohua stayed silent, but Gu Yiyi frowned unhappily. She inexplicably didn’t want the customers to go to No.3 Homestay. What magic did they have that always stole her guests?

Unable to resist, she said, "Old grandpa, how about staying at our place? I’ll give you a discount and charge the same price as theirs."

"Or, you can stay here too. The last place is too popular, too many people, I’m afraid it might disturb your rest."

She’d rather keep the guests at No.2 Homestay than let No.3 Homestay have the benefits!

The old man hesitated.

Jiang Xiangwan glanced at Gu Yiyi, her gaze somewhat subtle, and said, "Grandpa, why not take a look? No.3 Homestay is interesting, with an outdoor gym and swings, and they cook well too."

"Really? There’s an outdoor gym? Then I have to check it out, hahaha." The old man was instantly more interested, hurrying downstairs.

Gu Yiyi glared unhappily at Jiang Xiangwan. What was her deal? She was trying to retain the guest for her, yet she was pushing them away!?

Jiang Xiangwan didn’t care about Gu Yiyi and quickly followed them.

[Hahaha, this old grandpa is inexplicably cute, what’s his deal, he feels like someone important, who is he?]

[The sauce CP is real! Wanwan actually pushed her own guest to Zhi Zhi, so sweet!]

[Now that’s what I call stealing business, @Mili, open your eyes and see.]

[Honestly, I was a casual fan of Gu Yiyi before, but now watching this show, I like her less and less...]

Jiang Xiangwan and the others went straight to No.3 Homestay.

As soon as the old man saw the gym equipment and swing in the yard, he was fascinated and disregarded any attempts to stop him from trying them, startling Jiang Xiangwan and the others.

Jiang Xiangwan quickly grabbed him, "Grandpa, you can’t try this lightly. If you fall, it will be terrible."

"Hahaha, don’t worry," the old man was quite determined, "I used to be able to do thirty pull-ups in one go!"

Jiang Xiangwan: "..."

That’s why it was ’used to be’!

Luckily, Gu Zhi heard the commotion and soon came out, making Jiang Xiangwan feel relieved.

Gu Zhi ushered everyone inside and poured them a cup of water.

She asked, "Grandpa, are you here to stay too?"

"Yes." The old man sipped his tea, glancing at her a few more times, finding her quite pretty, "Are you the owner here? Did you set up all those things outside?"

Gu Zhi nodded, "My brother and the others made it themselves."

"Made it themselves? Impressive! What rooms do you have here? Let me take a look."

Gu Zhi quickly brought over a tablet, but they only had two of the smallest rooms left.

The old man looked at the prices, "About the same as next door, but it’s much cleaner here. Just these two rooms left?"

"Yes," Gu Zhi nodded, looking at him, "These are all I have left, if you want to stay, I’ll give you one room free of charge, no money needed."

"Free of charge?" The old man looked surprised.

Everyone seemed a bit taken aback.

Gu Zhi smiled, looking quite profound, "Giving you one free room doesn’t cause me much loss. If I’m not mistaken, you’re probably a local invited by the show’s production team, right?"

Seeing the old man for the first time, she more or less guessed it. The young man with him didn’t look like his son, but respected him a lot, more like a student. The two didn’t have any luggage, only carrying a bag, they didn’t look like tourists.

Moreover, the old man spoke with a bit of a local accent.

If she guessed correctly, the person should be the professor mentioned in the original script.

His research on magnetic abrasive had reached cooperation with a project overseen by Gu Group in this show, contributing greatly to the development of Gu Group’s scientific endeavors.

And Qin Yuan, who assisted in this project, was reported after calculating the critical materials for the project, resulting in his expulsion from the school and almost landing him in prison.

The old man was stunned to hear this, looking at Gu Zhi in surprise, "How did you know?"

"Just a guess. If the locals want to promote tourism, they would definitely invite a local person. And if I’m not mistaken, you should be an important figure."

Hearing her words, the young man beside him couldn’t hold back anymore, "You’re right, this old gentleman is Professor Chen Qingyuan, a national first-class academician from Jing University Engineering Institute. Yufeng Mountain is his hometown, and he was invited by your show to promote local cultural tourism. I’m his student and assistant, Xiao Wang."

"What!!?"

Everyone looked shocked upon hearing this.

[Oh my god!!! A national first-class academician! A professor from Jing University! Not a simple identity!]

[Mama, I made it, I actually have the privilege to watch a Jing University professor’s live broadcast!]

[Wow, this is truly amazing, who would’ve thought this skinny old man turned out to be a national-level academician!]

[So how did Gu Zhi know? We’ve been watching and couldn’t tell anything, we thought he was just a regular tourist?]

"You’re actually a university professor, a national academician!! Sorry for not greeting you properly, it’s really an honor," Sun Chaohua reacted, quickly greeting him again.

Jiang Xiangwan and the others were also stunned, looking at the old man with admiration.

Gu Zhi remained calm as usual, extending her hand, "Welcome, Professor Chen Qingyuan."

"Hahaha," the old man laughed loudly, giving her a playful glare, "I didn’t plan on revealing my identity, but you exposed me so quickly!" fгeewebnovёl.com

Gu Zhi gave a faint smile.

[Gu·Hawkeye·Zhi.]

Gu Yiyi was even more incredulous, he wasn’t just a professor, but a national academician!? How did Gu Zhi guess it?

She quickly said, "Professor Chen, sorry for not recognizing your identity, our reception was inadequate. How about this, come to my place, and everything will be free of charge."

"No problem," Elder Chen waved it off, "I’ve been retired for many years, I’m just like a regular person, no need to treat me specially, I’ll stay here today."

After saying this, he looked at Gu Zhi, "Does the free offer you mentioned earlier still stand?"
