Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Do You Think I’m Too Good for You?

The group walked for a while, and Gu Yue was sent by Song Chu to buy soda.

Song Lao Si winked at Song Chu, who was standing under the tree to cool off, “Little Sister, you’re amazing.”

Song Chu asked inexplicably, “What am I amazing at?”

“You just confessed to Educated Youth Gu. If it were me, I wouldn’t have the guts to say it in front of others,” Song Lao Si chuckled.

“???” Song Chu was speechless. “I confessed to him? What are you talking about?”

“Didn’t you just tell Educated Youth Gu, ‘I like people like you’?” Song Lao Si thought his sister was being shy.

Ever since he overheard the conversation between his sister and their mother about how to play Gu Yue, Song Lao Si felt that his sister’s words and actions were full of hidden meanings, deliberately teasing Educated Youth Gu.

“…” Song Chu really wanted to hit him. “I said I like talented people like you, thank you!”

Song Lao Si said indifferently, “Isn’t that the same thing?”

Song Chu couldn’t hold back and fiercely pinched his arm. “Did you learn nothing in school? Don’t talk nonsense.”

Song Lao Si cried out in pain, “I won’t, I won’t.”

Just then, Gu Yue returned with four bottles of soda. “What’s going on?”

Song Lao Si said aggrievedly, “My sister is bullying me.”

Gu Yue smiled and handed a bottle of soda to Song Chu, asking with a smile, “Why are you bullying him again?”

Song Chu rolled her eyes. “He was talking nonsense.”

“What did he say?” Gu Yue chuckled.

Song Lao Si, who took the soda, hesitated. He definitely couldn’t tell Educated Youth Gu, or he would be in trouble with his sister.

Song Chu, however, was more open. “He said I just confessed to you, omitting the word ‘talented’ from what I said. Don’t you think he deserves a beating?”

Gu Yue’s grip on the soda bottle tightened, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.

He took a sip of soda and slowly glanced at Song Lao Si. “He deserves a beating.”

“…” Song Lao Si, “What did I do to deserve this?”

He really didn’t expect his sister to say it directly. Shouldn’t she be shy? Is she even a woman!

Then he couldn’t help but glance at Educated Youth Gu, his eyes filled with sympathy. Educated Youth Gu is so pitiful to be targeted by her sister.

Gu Yue, who was being pitied, noticed Song Lao Si’s gaze and was filled with confusion. Is there something wrong with Song Chu’s fourth brother?

The next day, Gu Yue took the three of them around the more central and bustling areas of the provincial capital.

For Song Lao Si and Song Ping, these places were much more prosperous than the county town, like country bumpkins entering the city for the first time.

Song Chu had seen the prosperity of later generations, so she just looked at it with a sense of novelty. Otherwise, in her eyes, these places were a bit run-down.

Gu Yue also noticed her nonchalant expression. “Have you been to the provincial capital before?”

“No, I haven’t,” Song Chu shook her head. “Why?”

Gu Yue smiled faintly. “Nothing, I just feel like you’ve seen the world.”

Under normal circumstances, Song Ping and Song Lao Si’s reactions were normal.

But for some reason, he felt that Song Chu’s reaction was the right one. Ever since they started spending more time together after the mudslide, he realized that she was a very special person.

Song Chu raised her chin and looked at him with a smile, “Do you think I’m too good for you?”

Gu Yue chuckled and quickly averted his eyes from hers. “Pretend I didn’t ask.”

Every time she smiled so brightly and said she was too good, his heart would beat faster.

“I’m going to visit an elder tomorrow. Do you want to come along?” he asked.

Song Chu shook her head. “No, I’ll take them shopping.”

◈◈◈

Why would they tag along when he was visiting an elder? She knew better.

Gu Yue didn’t insist. “Alright.”

“Gu, the Academic God, do you have any tickets? I want to buy some clothes and shoes.” Song Chu had brought some, but felt it wasn’t enough.

Gu Yue nodded without hesitation. “Yes, I’ll give them to you when we get back to the hotel.”

He didn’t know why, but when he left, he felt a strange urge to bring all the tickets he had. Now, they came in handy.

The next day, Gu Yue went to visit the elder, while Song Chu took Song Lao Si and Song Ping to the department store to buy clothes.

Song Lao Si went to choose clothes with a grin, while Song Ping was taken aback.

“Why are you buying me clothes? I don’t need any.” Her sister had arranged a job for her, allowing her to find meaning in life. She was already very grateful and couldn’t let her sister spend more money on her.

But Song Chu pulled her to try on clothes. “You are my secretary. When you go out, you represent my image. You can’t dress poorly.”

“The workers at the pig farm each have two sets of clothes. You are my secretary, and Fourth Brother is in charge of running business. Neither of you should wear work clothes, so you must buy two more suitable sets. Don’t worry, it’s not my personal money. It’s reimbursable.”

She added, “I’m going to pick two outfits for myself too.”

Hearing this, Song Ping couldn’t help but ask, “Is this also reimbursable?”

“This is for the image of the pig farm. Why wouldn’t it be?” Song Chu said generously.

“Don’t worry, I’m the boss at the pig farm. What I say goes.” If she couldn’t even make this decision, why would she even run a pig farm?

It’s important to dress well when going out to discuss business, no matter the era. Otherwise, it’s easy to be looked down upon.

Song Ping then hesitantly tried on clothes, not wanting to embarrass Song Chu.

Song Chu picked a white dress for herself, which would make her look more mature, as her face was too youthful.

Then she picked a white shirt and black trousers, and also bought a pair of leather shoes.

She also bought a pair of leather shoes for Song Lao Si and Song Ping.

After buying, she said to Song Lao Si, “Fourth Brother, when you go back, talk to the shoe factory. Exchange some of the pig farm’s products for a batch of shoes to distribute to the employees as benefits.”

Song Lao Si was now very experienced in negotiating business, using Song Chu’s tactics more and more skillfully. “No problem, leave it to me.”

“Should we try to negotiate with the shoe factory in the provincial capital?” After seeing the world in the provincial capital, he felt that the county’s shoe factory was not enough for him to show his skills.

Song Chu rolled her eyes at him. “Give it a rest. Don’t try to bite off more than you can chew.”

“Even if you managed to make a deal, how would you transport the shoes back? Delivering oil here is also troublesome, and you have to consider whether the transportation costs are worth it.”

“Besides, we are still small-scale now. The big factories in the provincial capital won’t even notice us. Moreover, these factories have several times more employees than the county factories. We can’t provide that much oil and soy products.”

However, Song Lao Si had improved a lot recently. She patted his shoulder and encouraged him, “Of course, there will be a time for you to shine. When our pig farm grows bigger and stronger, you can come back here.”

Song Lao Si wasn’t disappointed. After listening to his sister, he felt it made sense. He said with admiration, “Little Sister, how do you know everything? You’re so amazing.”

Song Chu glanced at him. “Of course. If I wasn’t more capable than you, how could I be your leader?”

Song Lao Si: “…” He was speechless.
