Chapter 388: Writing Dinner, Read as Blind Date
Gu Cheng arrived home at seven o'clock, and before he had slept for an hour, he arrived at the Cultural Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock to continue working.
His fatigue was obvious. When Qi Zhi saw him, she quickly brought him a cup of tea and told him to take a rest in the morning to avoid sudden death.
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "I'll deal with the urgent documents first, so I can't delay my work."
Under his strict request, Qi Zhi sifted through it several times before finally handing out the documents she was really anxious about.
The task was updated on the terminal, and Gu Cheng worked hard with a sullen face.
When he signed the last word, the tight string in his mind suddenly relaxed, and then strong sleepiness swept over his mind, drowning the last bit of sanity he had managed to maintain.
He fell into a deep sleep. It wasn't until night fell again that he quietly woke up.
At this time, the documents on the table had already been put away, and he was covered with a blanket.
He looked down at the time: "It's eight o'clock."
Gu Cheng rolled his stiff neck and exhaled a deep breath.
After nearly eight hours of sleep, his body finally recovered.
After all, he had A+ level mental power in this life.
On the way to get off work, Gu Cheng quickly scanned the message list.
Gu Pan asked when they would go home for dinner, and Ke Jin secretly inquired whether his matter had been resolved and whether he needed help. There were also reports from several supervisors in the company and the problems they encountered.
There are so many and complicated things that Gu Cheng, who is still disappointed by this failed relationship again, can no longer wallow in sadness.
To Gu Pan, Gu Cheng still couldn't calmly explain their breakup, so he chose to vaguely say that he was busy at work.
As for Ke Jin, he first expressed his gratitude and said that he could handle it, and then asked him to take advantage of this opportunity to have fun.
However, as soon as this sentence was sent, Ke Jin replied instantly.
Ke Jin: [As long as the matter is resolved, by the way, I have a charity dinner here, and many of your colleagues will come. Do you want to come and join in the fun? 】
Gu Cheng typed quickly: [No, it won’t be long before the public beta begins. I don’t have the heart to care about their intrigues. 】
Ke Jin: [You only dare to be absent because of the quality and popularity of the other world. 】
Gu Cheng: [You can do it too, but you are so bored that you are running around hiding from the servants, how could you miss this fun. 】
Ke Jin: [Haha, yes, you said these aristocrats and rich men look like human beings, but they all play really well. 】
Ke Jin: [Tell me about the banquet I attended the day before yesterday. A 250-year-old man actually married a 20-year-old boy and brought him to such an occasion. Do you think he is too old? Ren is also shriveled up and prefers formal occasions to make a fool of himself. 】
Gu Cheng looked at the news and couldn't help but recall that when he and James had just established their relationship, James was eager to announce to the world that they were a couple.
After thinking for a few seconds, he replied: [Maybe, they are true love. 】
As soon as the message was sent, the optical computer showed that the other party was typing for a long time. It was obvious that Ke Jin was holding back a long sentence and waiting to say it.
Ke Jin: [Brother, you are so funny, true love. How can there be true love between people who are more than ten times different in age and whose status is completely different? Don't think that everyone in the world is together because of love and affection because your relationship with brother James is too happy. 】
Ke Jin: [In our circle, you and brother James are the outliers. Even I won’t be able to have only one person by my side in the future. 】
The repressive mother, the gentle and loving father, the relatives who have almost eliminated Xiaole in the whole family, and the non-toxic him.
Yes, because Ke Jin's body is not offensive at all, but is the antidote to the poison of the royal family. This is destined to lead him to a large number of marriages in order to ascend to power.
This has to be thanked for the genetic technology of the interstellar era.
It removes the shackles that men and women must combine to have children, allowing people of all sexual orientations to reproduce without any barriers.
However, because this technology is very expensive to operate, it is still only available among the wealthy class.

Just as Gu Cheng was thinking hard about the upcoming open beta of the alien world, Pei Mingxu quietly escaped from the banquet hall and wandered aimlessly on the bustling streets.
He took out a pipe, leaned back in his chair and puffed away.
The faint fragrance of tea filled the air, covering his sharp eyebrows.
Pei Mingxu originally thought that what would trouble him as an adult would be the difficult and ugly nobles, the covetous allies and enemies, and the impulsive and brainless but extremely numerous Zerg.
However, what he didn't expect was that the first thing that gave him a headache was the blind date!
Just like every parent who hopes that their children will make progress and work hard when they are in school, they hope that their children will get married and have children as soon as they graduate.
The emperor and empress also earnestly hoped that their workaholic son would have someone who could understand both cold and hot things.
No, reading dinners and writing blind parties were held one after another.
Pei Mingxu knew that his parents were doing this for his own good.
The Fanxing royal family has few heirs. Over the years, except for an occasional younger sister and younger brother, there has been no increase in the number of members of the royal family.
It is a very rare thing in the past dynasties.
But it's no wonder that the emperor and the empress didn't work hard. It's just that although the country is singing and dancing and everything is peaceful, the border is still on wartime alert, ready to fight at any time.
Pei Chaoxi is not a fool who just waits for death. He has a very fiery and impatient personality. He wishes he could go into battle and fight against the Zerg. He has no intention of creating villains.
Only Pei Mingxu.
He is in his prime and has not yet ascended the throne, so the pressure is not that great, so isn't he a good candidate to create a villain?
"Drip drip!"
The smoke alarm sounded one after another. Pei Mingxu quietly raised his eyes, placed the pipe in the jar, and said with his lips: "Open the ventilation system."
"The ventilation system is on."
After the intelligent system's announcement, a faint whining sound came from the car.
After a while, the air was completely clear, and the entire cabin was filled with the fragrance of perfume lilies.
But at this time, the person Pei Mingxu didn't want to see the most, but couldn't help but, called at the right time.
Pei Mingxu sighed slightly and connected the communication.
The next second, a woman with fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but unable to hide her bright eyes, appeared on the opposite side with a smile.
Pei Mingxu said respectfully: "Mother."
Nanasha asked with concern: "Well, how was the banquet today? Did anyone like it?"
Pei Mingxu said categorically: "No."
After hearing her son's answer, the old mother did not believe it easily this time.
"Oh, I heard that you had a good chat with some young masters. I don't know why, but then you left them behind."
Pei Mingxu: "...I just don't like it, no special reason."
"Okay." Nanasha compromised, but she warned: "But you can't go to work today. The empire is not so busy that you need to work all year round."
"You're out of the palace tonight anyway, so let's have some fun with a few people."
"Can……"
Nanasha frowned and said: "It's settled, you are not allowed to return to the palace, do you hear me?"
Pei Mingxu: "...Okay."
Nanasha smiled: "That's right, you are still young, have fun while your father can still support you, there are still plenty of days to deal with official business, enough to keep you busy in the future."
"understood."
In order to stop Nanasha from continuing to talk, Pei Mingxu quickly gave in.
After the light screen went out, there was silence in the cabin again.
The young prince who was kicked out of the palace felt confused for the first time.
Where should he go?
