At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Reporter: "Are you a junior majoring in software engineering at Haidong University?"

Gu Yu: "Yes, I'm a junior."

Reporter: "Are you also a specially appointed chief physician at Haidong University Affiliated Hospital?"

Gu Yu looked toward Tan Shizhen, this question should be answered by Dean Tan.

Tan Shizhen nodded and stepped forward: "This is indeed the case, I can confirm it."

"Regarding the special experts of our hospital, I will publish the list of experts on the hospital's official website and on the notice boards at the registration area soon!"

Hearing Tan Shizhen confirm that Gu Yu was indeed a specially appointed expert and chief physician, the reporters below burst into discussion.

They had never seen such a young chief physician before!

However, most of them were not very familiar with the medical profession's career system, so they were just surprised and did not have too many questions.

Reporter: "Mr. Gu, being so excellent, your family must be extraordinary, right? May I ask if you could reveal a bit about your family background?"

The reporter from Modu Daily asked a very sensitive question directly to the point.

This already involved a deep level of privacy!

Gu Yu also felt somewhat displeased in his heart; why were these reporters digging so deeply as if conducting a household registration?

His face still wore a faint smile, but he did not hesitate to decline to respond.

"I'm sorry, but I don't wish to disclose information involving my family."

"Also, I would like to refute your assumption, someone's excellence does not necessarily mean that their family background is impressive."

"Perhaps behind my shining achievements, there is actually a sequence of lonely and miserable past experiences?"

Gu Yu's lips curved slightly upwards, the words of rebuttal from his mouth somehow sounded surprisingly pleasant to everyone.

Indeed, as the old saying goes, adversity produces nobility; a person's merit does not mean they are merely a product of their family's influence.

Of course, no one applied this saying to Gu Yu himself.

They had already taken for granted that Gu Yu had a decent background.

If Gu Yu were just a top student from Haidong University, people might consider him a noble child from a family of modest means who had excelled through studies.

But to display talent in several unrelated fields is not something that can be achieved merely through diligent study.

This requires an immense amount of resources and unimaginable educational nurturing.

In an era where it's increasingly hard for those from humble backgrounds to rise to prominence, it's virtually impossible for someone like Gu Yu to emerge as a "noble child from a humble family."

Everyone just took his previous statement as a display of modesty.

Looking at the reporters who seemed unconcerned, Gu Yu did not overly explain.

He was speaking the truth, but it was a pity that no one believed him.

Only Tan Shizhen by his side had a flicker of an unusual light in his eyes.

For some reason, he actually believed what Gu Yu had said, perhaps because Gu Yu sounded quite serious when he said it.

But he quickly dismissed such thoughts.

Because Dai Zhengguo had already revealed Gu Yu's identity to him.

Behind Gu Yu were the Guardians of Huaxia!

Perhaps the lonely and miserable experiences Gu Yu spoke of were the various challenges and trials given by his family when he was young?

After all, those zealous Guardians of Huaxia often had extremely strict demands for their own children as well.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but sigh.

They say genius is ninety-nine percent perspiration and one percent inspiration.

He agreed with this saying!

After all, he, Tan Shizhen, was also called a genius in his youth.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the dean of Haidong Hospital now.

The achievements most people reach in their lifetime are actually determined when they're young.

Some reach the pinnacle of an ordinary person's life by the age of twenty.

Like Gu Yu, who is in the prime of his life with limitless potential.

"Uh, okay, I apologize for the intrusion!"

The refusal from Gu Yu was actually within the expectations of all the reporters, but they still felt a bit disappointed deep down.

They wanted to dig up a bit more information to enrich their material archives.

Gu Yu was now like a wholesale machine of human-interest news stories; any small detail about him could be used to produce an individual new media video…

With Gu Yu, this big fat sheep, they guessed their annual news task KPIs wouldn't be anything to worry about!

Unfortunately, Gu Yu, this fat sheep, was extremely elusive, and they couldn't even catch his tail.

The reporters in the audience silently resolved to make Gu Yu their next major observation target.

No matter what it took, they had to get more dirt on him!

In their line of work, there were just too many channels to acquire information.

As long as they wanted to dig, there would always be a chance to get the information.

"It's okay, does anyone else have any questions? If not, then…"

Gu Yu shook his head amiably at the Modu Daily reporter who had apologized.

Then he glanced at his phone to check the time, saw that ten minutes had almost passed, and walked around the microphone to address the reporters below:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"

"If you have further questions, we can talk next time. I don't think it will be long before my defamation case concludes, and then I will hold another press conference!"

After Gu Yu finished speaking, he didn't wait for the reporters below to say anything and left directly through the front door. Find exclusive stories on empire

Dai Zhengguo, watching from below, also stealthily slipped out the back door.

He had come today to step in and help out if Tan Shizhen couldn't explain Gu Yu's situation to the media.

But since Tan Shizhen handled it well, and Gu Yu later made a sudden appearance, his presence wasn't needed at all.

Dai Zhengguo hurried out of the conference hall, looked around in the corridor, and just happened to see Gu Yu disappearing around the left corner.

He quickly followed.

"Yu, why are you in such a hurry?"

Dai Zhengguo called out to Gu Yu.

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Yu paused in his steps, turned his head, and saw Dai Zhengguo, then stopped to wait for him.

"Old Dai, it's you! How could I not hurry? By the time those reporters snap out of it, I probably won't be able to leave."

Gu Yu spread his hands with a look of helplessness.

"Haha, that's true." Dai Zhengguo walked alongside him, unable to suppress a chuckle. After laughing, he looked down as though he was pondering something.

"Speaking of which, Old Dai, do you need something from me? I'm in a rush to get back to my company; it's working hours right now," Gu Yu inquired, seeing Dai Zhengguo's preoccupied expression.

Dai Zhengguo looked up, somewhat surprised, "You're going to work?"

Gu Yu's expression became serious, "Why? Shouldn't I be working? Working is a major part of life!"

"What work? Programming? Quit it. You should come and work at the Affiliated Hospital instead. It's far more relaxed than coding, and the pay is much higher," Dai Zhengguo mistook him for doing an internship in software engineering and quickly tried to persuade him.

It was a pity for someone with Gu Yu's exquisite medical skills to be tapping away at code.

"No, I started a company, I'm the boss," Gu Yu shook his head, aware that Dai Zhengguo had misunderstood.

"Tsk, playing around, aren't you? You haven't even graduated yet, how big could your company possibly be? Does your company even have assets worth a hundred thousand? Work at the Affiliated Hospital, and you can earn that sum in just two or three months!"

Dai Zhengguo wore a look of disdain when he heard Gu Yu had started a company.

Gu Yu still shook his head, "That won't do, my company might be small, but we have quite a lot of assets. I can't just abandon everyone and run off."

"Oh, how much can it be? Spit it out. Two hundred thousand? I have here a long-term contract for an external consultant; I assure you, Dean Tan can offer you five hundred thousand a year!"

Dai Zhengguo still appeared unconcerned.

Gu Yu was too young to know how much a Chief Physician at the Affiliated Hospital could earn.

Gu Yu scratched behind his ear and hesitated, "I'm not entirely sure about the exact amount of my company's assets, but it's definitely no less than fifty million…"

"Cut it out, just fifty thousan—million...million? Eh? Fifty million?" Dai Zhengguo's reflex was to sneer again, but he quickly realized that the figures Gu Yu mentioned were far off!

What? Fifty million!!

The hand Dai Zhengguo had extended towards his pocket to retrieve the contract for external consulting froze in place.
