The Richest Girl Just Started Kindergarten

The people in the scientific research industry have a super high IQ but lower EQ than others. Due to that, they are straightforward and easy to communicate with, although it’s not always pleasant. But it is better than making friends with other people that talk confusingly and make you believe the opposite.

The latter type of people can make you accidentally dig into a hole, so you always have to be on guard. It’s always tiring.

Getting along with Lu Hongyu is so simple. You can maintain your friendship for a long time without much effort.

So in a flash, everyone’s known each other for decades.

They heard Lu Hongyu’s words, but weren’t angry. Instead, they joked back. “Hongyu, I told you, getting married is just as important as working in your lab. Look now, we have grandchildren already, but you don’t even have a wife.”

“Yes, Hongyu, you have dedicated half your life to research for the country. It’s time to slow down and enjoy the nearby scenery.”

Lu Hongyu didn’t want to hear this.

Here we go again…… 

His group of friends began to push him to get married 40 years ago. Back then, they were still pretty convergent and hesitated to talk about it too much. Now 40 years later, they talk about it every time they meet. It was like a crime to stay single.

“I don’t have the time.”

Gu Hongyu spent all his time in the lab, so he doesn’t even have time to do daily things. It was like he wished for humans to be made of steel so he wouldn’t need to sleep or eat. How does he have time for dating?

“Don’t just recruit men, hire some women too. It would be a surprise if they don’t become a thing by sunset.”

“Yes, do you know how many pretty women want to join your team? Just a few days ago the news interviewed that lady with the doctorate saying openly that she wants to be in your lab team.”

“Hongyu, think about it, there’s many opportunities.”

Lu Hongyu was ridiculed by everyone. He didn’t get mad but instead said, “If they want to join my team, it doesn’t matter if they are male or female. It depends on their skills. Moreover, work is work, personal life is personal life, you can’t mix these together.”

“Well, it seems that this is going nowhere.”

“Last time Mrs. Zhang introduced you to that female star, did you chat with her?”

The giant in the scientific research industry paired with a hot female celebrity was a perfect match. In the olden times, every old powerful man always had a pretty wife.

Lu Hongyu hearing his friends mentioning these things really pushed his buttons. His face darkened. “Is everyone here to celebrate my birthday or to gossip about my personal life?”

“If it is the former, then everyone can have a good time. If it’s the latter, they should immediately pack up and leave.”

Everyone has been friends for decades, so they knew where the line was.

If they pushed further, they would really cross the line.

It became awkward for a while. Gu Shengming couldn’t really speak up so he whispered a few words into Gu Enyu’s ears. The child then broke the awkward silence.

“Uncle Lu, I have a special gift for you.”

The clear crisp voice echoed in the large room. Lu Hongyu’s face eased a little. “Oh, what gift did Enyu prepare for me today?”

“Uncle Lu, you wait here!”

Gu Enyu then ran out of the room and came back with a little violin.

“I learned to play happy birthday just for you!”

“Enyu, great job! Nice!”

When Gu Enyu played the violin, he became a different person. He focused all of his attention of playing, and his technique was on point. The notes flowed smoothly through the entire song and it was pleasing to hear.

At the end, he transformed from a little boy and bowed like a gentleman.

“Uncle Lu, I hope you like it. I wish you a happy birthday. May you have a fortune as endless as the Eastern Seas and live longer than the Southern Mountains.”

The song sounded great, the kid was a good kid, the wishes were also good, but why did it sound a bit off?

The last phrase made Lu Hongyu feel like he was already in his 70’s or 80’s, but he was still in his 40’s.

Ah whatever, just forget about it. 

The unpleasant chat of the marriage episode was over, and it was time to start the actual dinner.

A group of busy friends in their respective fields rarely got a chance to be together. Everyone had a great time and left at around 10 pm.

Gu Enyu’s bedtime was at 9 pm. He was so sleepy he just crashed on top of Gu Shengming and fell asleep.
