Chapter 53 Part 2 一 Male Models Fashion Show.
The public’s confidence in Jiang Company is rekindled, and their products are selling well.
As for Ruan Yōu, the former President of LOP Group, she sold 45% of the shares and retained 10%.
Jiang Huai asked her why, and Ruan Yōu, with a playful smile in her eyes, answered happily over the phone:
“Now, it’s your turn to work for me.”
Jiang Huai:…
He remembered a long time ago when he gave Ruan Yōu 200 million yuan, jokingly saying that she was his employee. And now…
Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river1, finally being retaliated against by Ruan Yōu.
“Work hard, my employee~” Ruan Yōu laughed and hung up the phone, feeling even better as she saw the 20 billion yuan skyrocketing in her account.
When Lu Xuan heard that Ruan Yōu earned 20 billion yuan, she was incredibly excited and hurriedly went to the Gu family. Both of them covered their faces with their hands, earnestly admiring the additional 20,000,000,000 yuan in the account.
After a while, Lu Xuan held her face and sighed, “Is it all taught by that initial user?”
Ruan Yōu nodded in deep intoxication, “Mmm.”
“Wow~” Lu Xuan exclaimed.
Last time, when Ruan Yōu gave a gift to Elder Qi, in return, Elder Qi gifted her a chessboard worth a fortune. Later, he even rented a VIP room in Ruan Yōu’s Springfield Flower Elderly Care Community for several decades, rounding it up to give her 100 million yuan.
Not only that, Qi Zhiyan’s younger brother, Qi Nuo, became a player for Ruan Yōu’s club for free.
Why does it feel like…
Everyone is giving money to Ruan Yōu?!
“Why is it that every time you help someone, you can get so much money?” Lu Xuan was particularly puzzled and very eager to obtain the same skill.
Ruan Yōu tilted her head and, with a satisfied expression, counted the zeros once again. Then she turned her head to Lu Xuan and said sincerely, “Helping others brings joy, and good people receive good rewards.”
Lu Xuan:…
Lu Xuan turned her head to the side, envying Ruan Yōu’s life.
With such a formidable investment advisor by her side, she could do whatever she wanted.
Since Ruan Yōu started the elderly care company, Lu Xuan’s “You Xuan” investment plan with Ruan Yōu was put aside. Lu Xuan returned to a state of extreme boredom in her life. She was busy with Ruan Yōu’s banquet recently, racking her brains to choose gifts for her, running around everywhere. Now that the banquet was over, Lu Xuan’s life once again lost its direction.
Ruan Yōu was busy again, so she didn’t have much time to spend with Lu Xuan.
On the fifth day after the banquet ended, Lu Jin came to the Gu family and brought some explosive and distressing news.
He finally finished his long and tiring work a few days before the banquet, returned home after enduring the jet lag, and quickly went back to the Lu Residence to have a rare opportunity to communicate with Lu Xuan.
The news about Lu Xuan was still learned from Qi Zhiyan.
She said, “Lu Xuan has fallen for a young ‘little milk dog’ in the entertainment industry, a 19-year-old newcomer.”
Lu Jin’s stiff head instantly went numb.
After finally getting Lu Xuan away from a scumbag, her love-struck mind rushed into the arms of a little milk dog. Lu Jin’s head ached with anxiety, so he hurriedly came to seek help from Ruan Yōu.
“The little star’s name is Fang Xun, 19-year-old. Here’s his photo.” Lu Jin flipped through his phone album, sounding somewhat panicked. “You have to help, Ruan Yōu. If our parents find out that she’s been deceived by another little milk dog, they’ll definitely send her away overseas.”
Father Lu and Mother Lu usually appeared very amiable and reasonable, but they behaved extremely in major matters.
That’s also why he hesitated to confess to his parents that he was secretly chasing stars. Once he mentioned it, it would undoubtedly lead to a bloody mess at home.
Listening to Lu Jin, Ruan Yōu said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let Lu Xuan be deceived. These little milk dogs are all just packaged by the entertainment industry. Fans use photo editing, and they use filters for filming. In reality, they’re definitely ugly. Those who like them are a bit…”
As she spoke, she took the phone that Lu Jin handed over and looked down:
“They’re a bit一aesthetic.”
Gu Fuchen & Lu Jin: ?
Did you say all that just to compliment him?
“He looks good, it’s no big deal for a little romance.” Ruan Yōu objectively commented.
Gu Fuchen frowned, looking at the delicate and handsome face on the screen, and solemnly remarked: “Very ugly.”
His younger sister absolutely cannot be in a relationship.
Fire prevention, theft prevention, and love prevention2.
Ruan Yōu scratched her head and said, “I know, but what if the other person is true love, a good person, not like the previous ones who deceived her like Lu Xuan? Is it really that bad to have a relationship?”
Lu Jin remained silent, his expression serious.
“If he’s not a scumbag, then it’s not a big deal to have a relationship. But the key is that my parents must know that this person is not a scumbag, they must know his background.”
If Lu Xuan is deceived by a scumbag for the third time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ruan Yōu said, “Okay, I’ll have Cheng Xin check Fang Xun’s background.”
Cheng Xin is still the manager of her “Everyday Taking Down Entertainment Company”. Anything related to the entertainment industry, she always goes to him.
Ruan Yōu mentioned this matter to Cheng Xin on WeChat, and Cheng Xin also mentioned the recent popular variety show in the entertainment industry, <The Heirs> Season 2.
【This variety show contacted me and hopes that I can convey the invitation to Ruan Yōu and Fat Cat. The production team earnestly invites the two young ladies to participate in the show recording. It was a week ago when I received the news, but I kept forgetting. I’m mentioning it today while I’m at it.】
【Fat Cat: I received it and already declined.】
【Cheng Xin: Why decline? Why not charge forward with Gu Fuchen? If this variety show becomes popular, I can invest some money on behalf of the company, and the company can earn a lot.】
Ruan Yōu keenly caught onto a word.
【Again?】
【How far is the company from bankruptcy?】
Cheng Xin: …
【I apologize for not being able to make the company go bankrupt within a month.】
【To say something that might make you angry, not only did the company not go bankrupt, but it is actually booming.】
【Fat Cat: …】
【Cheng Xin: After the collective performance of the company’s artists, we had Truth King appear in our company. He criticized the production team, male guests, and hypocritical people on the dating variety show. After the recording ended, he planned to quit and retire to your beautiful and peaceful Springfield Flower Elderly Care Community. Unfortunately, he became popular, and his retirement life came to an end.】
【Cheng Xin: Apart from the Truth King, we also have an artist who live-streams sleeping every day and another daring actor who questions directors and investors in the livestream room. In short, the company is doing great now, and earning one billion yuan next year is not a dream at all.】
【Cheng Xin: Oh, by the way, our company has become a gathering place for top-tier talents. Apart from Cheng Guyuan, top-tier talents from various fields are all in this company.】
Ruan Yōu: …
Fine, making money is fine.
There are even more employees now who give her money.
After finishing this, Cheng Xin shifted the topic back to the second season of <The Heirs>.
【Cheng Xin: Are you sure you don’t want to take Gu Fuchen and ride the wind and waves together?】
【Cheng Xin: I think this is a good way for you to fulfill your dream in the entertainment industry. It was a bit regrettable when you suddenly withdrew from the industry before, as it happened too quickly. Now, this variety show is very suitable for you. It will allow you to let your fans know how well you’ve been doing.】
Without hesitation, Ruan Yōu refused once again.
Seeing Cheng Xin’s sincere intentions, she added a reason after refusing.
【Let me take Gu Fuchen to the variety show. Do you still think Ruan Chenchen’s name is not embarrassing enough on the internet…】
Last time Ruan Yōu saw netizens’ evaluation of Ruan Chenchen as “a rich man who is silly and a siscon.”
How ironic. Ruan Chenchen’s name doesn’t even live up to overlord anymore.
However, his real name, Gu Fuchen, is regarded as the overlord among the overlords.
Ruan Yōu sighed.
If everyone knew that Gu Fuchen was Ruan Chenchen, the face of the business legend Gu Fuchen would be completely lost.
Despite Ruan Yōu’s two refusals, discussions about Fat Cat and Gu Fuchen, as well as Ruan Yōu and Ruan Chenchen on the internet, remained intense.
In the official recommendation for the second season of <The Heirs>, the “two pairs” of siblings, Fat Cat and Gu Fuchen, and Ruan Yōu and Ruan Chenchen, occupied the top two spots in the voting, leaving Cheng Guyuan far behind.
Bozhan’s heir, the business legend Gu Fuchen with Fat Cat Who Tries Hard to Spend Money; and Ruan Yōu, who was deeply hurt by the entertainment industry, decisively retired and transformed into Niu Hulu Ruan Yōu, the revengeful young lady of the entertainment industry with the adorable and silly super fan “The Only Brother” 一 Ruan Chenchen.
Just by looking at these prefixes, you can tell how funny it would be if these four appeared on a variety show.
The decision lies with Ruan Yōu.
To protect her brother’s reputation, Ruan Yōu firmly declined the invitation to the variety show.
In the days following the banquet, her life gradually returned to normal.
To be honest, she had a morbid curiosity about how desperate the fans would be if they knew that the business legend they idolized, Gu Fuchen, was actually Ruan Chenchen.
But she still had to uphold her big brother’s reputation~
Ruan Yōu didn’t mention this matter to Gu Fuchen.
On the seventh day after the end of the banquet, Cheng Xin entered the 7th floor living room with Fang Xun’s information in hand.
He sat on the single sofa, smiling lightly, “Why investigate this young newcomer? Are you planning to sign him? He just debuted six months ago and isn’t very famous.”
Of course, Ruan Yōu wouldn’t mention that Lu Xuan likes the little star. She was about to come up with an excuse when Ruan Liuyu entered the 7th floor living room.
She caught a glimpse of Cheng Xin by the side and her gaze faltered.
Ruan Yōu explained, “This is the manager of my entertainment company, Cheng Xin, an investment senior in the entertainment industry.”
Ruan Liuyu nodded lightly towards Cheng Xin and turned to Ruan Yōu with a smile, “Tomorrow, I’ll go out with your dad. You and your brother have a good meal at home.”
Ruan Yōu nodded vigorously.
Now, whenever mom and dad leave for the whole day, they always make a point of telling her.
Mom says it’s necessary communication among family members.
After saying that, Ruan Liuyu didn’t disturb her daughter and Cheng Xin’s conversation. She asked Wei Wen to prepare some refreshments and went downstairs herself.
Ruan Liuyu takes good care of herself, and you can’t tell at all that she has a daughter and a son.
Cheng Xin: “So, this is the legendary Mrs. Ruan? I don’t recall you mentioning her before.”
Ruan Yōu gestured for Wei Wen to push the pastries in front of Cheng Xin, picked up the documents he had brought from the coffee table, and casually explained, “My parents have been busy overseas recently and haven’t come back.”
Cheng Xin: “Is your father still managing Bo Zhan’s affairs? Didn’t he hand over the company to Gu Fuchen a while ago?”
Ruan Yōu’s hand trembled slightly as she flipped through the documents, and her eyelashes quivered. Then, she nonchalantly started reading the documents quickly.
“Maybe they’re busy with something else.”
Her parents didn’t return home until almost a month after she did, and she had been puzzled by it. But since her father, mother, and brother didn’t mention it, she didn’t ask either.
Everyone has their little secrets and things they don’t want to talk about.
Ruan Yōu didn’t dwell on this matter any further and turned her head to look at the information about the fresh meat Fang Xun.
The first page introduced his basic information, such as when he debuted and his educational background.
Ruan Yōu quickly scanned through the unimportant information and flipped to the next page.
“The second page is quite exciting. You should take a good look,” Cheng Xin suddenly spoke up.
Ruan Yōu raised an eyebrow and slowed down her pace.
The beginning described his romantic experiences.
Before his debut, he had been in three relationships during high school. It wasn’t a big deal to have multiple relationships, but the key question was:
Why are you still straddling on three boats?
Bah, bah, bah, she had actually praised his face a couple of days ago.
What bad luck.
Clearly, he was a scumbag, but online comments portrayed him as “a younger brother with innocence, shyness, and the inability to make eye contact with his older sister.”
Described the scumbag king as a pure and innocent school grass.
Yuck.
“Take a look at the information above, and there’s one important thing I haven’t mentioned there.”
“What is it?”
Cheng Xin lowered his voice: “Five days ago, Fang Xun posted on his WeChat Moments using a secondary account, saying that he was interested in a Porsche. The next day, Lu Xuan, your good friend, bought him a million-dollar Porsche.”
“For Lu Xuan, a million is nothing. This kind of fresh meat has no abilities except for his face. If Lu Xuan really wants to be a fan and start a fanatical pursuit, I will investigate some morally and capable fresh meat for her.”
Ruan Yōu helplessly rubbed her forehead.
Goodness.
This time, instead of giving him a plane, she gave him a car.
After Cheng Xin left, Ruan Yōu immediately told Qi Zhiyan, who also knew about Lu Xuan’s situation, and they both brainstormed for countermeasures.
Getting the scumbag out of the circle is essential. He must not harm his fans and girls. More importantly, how to tell Lu Xuan the truth.
Lu Jin said that after Lu Xuan was deceived by a young ‘little milk dog’ last time, she was sad for a long time. Her delicate heart couldn’t handle consecutive blows, but she must face reality through this one.
There are countless scumbags in the world.
The wise do not fall in love, only the foolish would repeat their mistakes!!
When faced with the difficult task of how to talk to Lu Xuan, Ruan Yōu came up with a solution.
“She likes supermodels.”
On the other end of the phone, Qi Zhiyan clearly didn’t react.
“So?”
Ruan Yōu: “So let’s organize a supermodel fashion show for her. Male models from all over the world will stand in front of her, 20 handsome clothes hangers. Can’t they beat a scumbag?”
Qi Zhiyan:…
一 Ruan Yōu, be honest, have you been wanting to organize a supermodel fashion show for a long time? Otherwise, why did your voice involuntarily brighten up when you mentioned 20 handsome clothes hangers?
Qi Zhiyan couldn’t object and left everything to Ruan Yōu to handle.
Ruan Yōu asked Wei Wen to come up to the 7th floor living room and gave her careful instructions: “Contact male models from around the world who are available. They should have a high appearance value, good runway skills, and excellent physique. Tomorrow night, we’ll hold a supermodel fashion show for Lu Xuan.”
“Tomorrow night?”
“Yes, tomorrow night.”
Ruan Yōu sent a message to Lu Xuan:
【I have prepared an unforgettable supermodel fashion show for you. Can you make it tomorrow night?】
【Lu Xuan: ! ! ! Sure!】
Shortly after, Lu Xuan replied again.
【Lu Xuan: Can I bring someone with me? He’s really handsome~】
【Ruan Yōu: Of course.】
Let the little scumbag experience social humiliation in front of the male models, causing him to feel ashamed and insignificant. Only then will this fashion show become more interesting.
Ruan Yōu immersed herself in the joy of waiting for male models to walk the runway.
Male models, handsome guys, who doesn’t like them?
She only enjoyed the happiness for a minute when she received several messages.
【Lu Jin: ? Are you taking Lu Xuan to see the male models? As a fan, I disagree with this.】
Fu Jiazhan’s message was very tactful.
【Are you organizing a large event tomorrow?】
【G: ? ? ? ? Ruanruan, are you going to see male models?】
Ruan Yōu replied to them seriously and uniformly.
【Yes, I’m organizing a male model fashion show. Would you like to come and watch?】

Taw’s note: Sister Yōuyōu, invite me too~ 😍🤣
I really dislike how Mc just typically waits around and try to play nice with the bastard protags, that and on how quick she jumps to her own conclusions like with praising the milk dog without actually knowing anything.
I swear, Mc just gets worse and worse. Only sticking cause there are only a few chapters left so, just gotta endure.
