Chapter 80 Part 3 一 Breaking news! Initial users is “lurking” in the Gu family!!
At eleven o’clock, everyone sat down on the 2nd floor sofa.
The downstairs band’s music didn’t stop.
Ruan Yōu, Gu Fuchen, Qi Zhiyan, and others had some drinks and chatted. Most of them were discussing recent business news. Ruan Yōu leaned weakly against the railing, letting out a long sigh.
Lu Xuan smiled and asked, “Sister Yōuyōu, are you still thinking about the mahjong game from earlier?”
Gu Fuchen chuckled, “She’ll be thinking about it all night.”
“This is definitely the most impressive and regrettable thing for Ruan Yōu this year.”
Ruan Yōu frowned, feeling miserable.
“I never want to play mahjong again.”
Gu Fuchen laughed and handed her a cocktail, “Have a drink, it’s time to drown your sorrows.”
Ruan Yōu pouted and turned her head, avoiding the drink. “I won’t drown my sorrows with alcohol.”
Lu Xuan was puzzled, “But last time, you were definitely drowning your sorrows with alcohol.”
“When was that?” Ruan Yōu was confused.
Lu Xuan replied, “It happened about one or two months ago. I remember it very clearly. Back then, you hadn’t bought the entertainment company yet, and your agent and that unscrupulous company were exploiting your popularity. That unscrupulous company even spread rumors on Weibo to discredit you. You were venting on Weibo, and when we came to see you, you walked in all red-eyed, and you asked Wei Wen to prepare alcohol for you to drown your sorrows.”
Ruan Yōu: …
She remembered that incident.
But why was her own version completely different from what they were saying?
Ruan Yōu pursed her lips, meeting the caring gazes of the other seven people. She shook her head solemnly, “I didn’t.”
Gu Fuchen raised an eyebrow.
“At that time, the agent and the company did target me, but I didn’t take it seriously. I even questioned them online after posting a questioning Weibo. I felt good after that, rode my bicycle around the estate for a while. It was just that when I was going back, some dust got into my eyes, and they turned red. When I returned home, I asked Wei Wen to bring me some red wine, but that was just because I wanted to drink.”
Gu Fuchen & Fu Jiazhan & Lu Xuan & Lu Jin & Jiang Huai & Qi Zhiyan: …
Wen Juxi, being the only one present who wasn’t involved in this incident, raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Are you all sure you’re talking about the same thing?”
“Is it really like that?” Gu Fuchen was half skeptical.
Ruan Yōu nodded solemnly.
“Of course.”
Gu Fuchen sighed and rubbed his temples.
Well then.
It’s a beautiful misunderstanding.
Anyway, the unscrupulous company and agent got what they deserved.
As long as the ending is good.
The conversation of the people present immediately shifted to this matter, and they discussed the origin of the misunderstanding with mixed feelings.
Wen Juxi listened quietly, her lips curled slightly, her smile much more sincere than before.
Their story was indeed somewhat interesting.
While members of the six top wealthy families were chatting and laughing, two young men came up from the first floor.
Wen Juxi caught sight of them, furrowing her brows unconsciously, a fleeting hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.
Ruan Yōu followed her gaze and looked back.
The two young men were probably in their early twenties. When they met Ruan Yōu’s gaze, they nodded with faint smiles.
Wen Juxi frowned, “My brothers.”
Two younger brother who is favored by a father who favors sons over daughters despite both being useless.
So what if you’re favored?
Wen Cheng wanted to divide the Wen family, and the two brothers were no exception.
However, for now, the Wen family was still under her control, and the failed marriage alliance between Wen Cheng and Gu Min had solidified her control even further.
Father Wen didn’t have much say in the family.
Real power rested with their grandfather, who valued strength. So, no matter how much Father Wen doted on his two sons, they still hadn’t earned their grandfather’s recognition and support.
The two sons of the Wen family were capable, but in every aspect, they were not as good as their elder sister, Wen Juxi.
Wen Juxi got up, “I’ll go over and take a look. You all continue chatting.”
Wen Juxi’s two younger brothers came here unintentionally. Upon hearing that Wen Juxi and the other members of the top wealthy families were upstairs, they wanted to come and say hello.
“Sister, there’s no need to be so guarded. We’re all part of the same circle, just basic communication and interaction.”
They were all members of the top wealthy family, and they hadn’t stooped so low as to have to ingratiate themselves with other heirs.
After Wen Juxi left, everyone kept an eye on her movements.
Most of the people present had some knowledge of what was happening within the Wen family.
Perhaps due to Jiang Wei’s influence, Jiang Huai didn’t have much affection for this younger brothers who were favored by their parents but lacked abilities.
Wen Juxi’s two younger brothers came to say hello, and the attitudes of Ruan Yōu, Gu Fuchen, Jiang Huai, and others were no longer as friendly as they had been in their previous conversation; they simply nodded politely.
The two brothers sensed the change in their attitudes, and their faces became slightly stiff, feeling disinterested.
They were all part of the same circle, and no one was nobler than anyone else.
. . . . .
After Wen Juxi’s two younger brothers left, it was past midnight, and they didn’t continue their conversation.
The chauffeur arranged by the butler had already arrived. After Ruan Yōu
got in the car and took a short rest, she returned home, hastily washed up, and then slept soundly.
She woke up the next day at 8:30 a.m.
She sat on the bed in a daze.
The 7th floor french window in the room offered a panoramic view, and the scenery outside was breathtaking.
She watched it countless times without getting tired. Each time, she found healing in the scenery.
Maybe it was because she got used to the busy period before, but Ruan Yōu woke up feeling a bit bored for the first time.
A few days ago, she watched variety shows, played games, or even checked stocks if nothing else was interesting. Now that she didn’t need the initial user’s account anymore, she didn’t know what to do with her free time.
She remembered the comments that Lu Xuan had seen in the “Snowman Building” incident before.
At that time, many people said their snowmen were cute and hoped to buy merchandise to give to their friends.
At that time, Ruan Yōu was preoccupied with Gu Min’s matters and didn’t have the energy to look at doll merchandise. Now that she had some free time, she could plan it properly.
Snowman merchandise for eight people, one for each person.
Consider it as token of friendship.
Let’s do it!
While eating breakfast, Ruan Yōu scrolled through her friend circle and unexpectedly came across the post from the initial user.
She silently gave it a like.
The text was normal, and the photo was taken in the 1st floor lobby.
A white A4 paper occupied four-fifths of the entire photo, and one-fifth was a blurred black sofa armrest.
Ruan Yōu was sure this photo wouldn’t reveal anything.
It was just a black sofa.
All businessmen have them in their homes.
She put down her spoon and left a comment for herself in the comments section.
【Goodbye, may you have a happy life in the future.】
This could also be considered as her drawing a perfect ending to the initial user’s life.
Ruan Yōu was satisfied, closed her phone, finished her breakfast, and went into the study, fully immersed in the snowman-related project.
. . . . .
At this moment, Jiang Huai was conspiring with Lu Xuan to organize a retirement farewell party for the initial user.
Jiang Huai didn’t want the initial user to leave, and he didn’t want Ruan Yōu to give up this “God of Wealth.” Lu Xuan, on the other hand, purely wanted to see what the mysterious initial user was like.
This person had once rejected her on the forum, no matter how much she tried to be coquettish, the other party ignored her.
At that time, she thought he was a girl, but now she thought it might have been his daughter typing online under his guidance.
After all, many middle-aged men aren’t very skilled with the internet and have to rely on their children for help.
In addition to this, Lu Xuan also wanted to use the retirement farewell party as an opportunity for Gu Fuchen and the initial user to meet, discuss investment ideas and plans, and prepare for her and Ruan Yōu’s future investment life.
Like handing over work after resigning.
Jiang Huai and Lu Xuan knew that they couldn’t find information from Ruan Yōu, so they had to ask the initial user themselves, but their messages went unanswered.
Jiang Huai stared at the initial user’s Moments, lost in thought.
As he looked, a lifeless gaze suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light.
“Lu Xuan!”
Lu Xuan was startled by this sudden voice, “What’s up? You scared me to death.”
Jiang Huai enlarged a photo in Lao Chu’s Moments and said, “Look at this sofa, doesn’t it look like the one at the Gu family?”
Gu family sofas are all custom-made by Company C, and each one has a logo on it.
The Gu family is low-key and naturally doesn’t display the logo conspicuously in front of visitors, so all the sofas and leather goods have a subtle logo.
Lu Xuan looked left and right, shaking her head in confusion.
“I don’t know. What can you tell from a black sofa? They have those everywhere.”
Jiang Huai’s tone was certain, “No, this is the Gu family’s style.”
He had sat on the Gu family’s first-floor lobby sofa, which was very comfortable, so he inquired with the Gu family’s housekeeper and had the same style customized, only in a different color.
The Gu family’s first floor used black, while his family used deep blue.
Jiang Huai said, “Let’s go to the Gu family.”
. . . . .
One hour later.
Ruan Yōu stared at the photos of snowmen in the study, looking at several plush dolls, but couldn’t make up her mind.
She wanted to ask who Gu Fuchen had commissioned to make the cotton dolls for her at that time.
Her mind was in a mess, and she had no idea. She planned to go out for a walk to look at the scenery and find inspiration.
The moment she opened the study door to step outside, Wei Wen hastily rushed over from the corridor, standing in front of Ruan Yōu, panting heavily, and said, “Miss, something big has happened.”
Ruan Yōu had never seen Wei Wen so flustered before.
She couldn’t help but furrow her brow and said, “What’s happened? Take your time and tell me.”
Wei Wen replied, “Miss, Mr. Jiang Huai has discovered that your investment advisor is lurking at the Gu family. He’s planning to poach all of the Gu family’s household staff, drivers, and even the old butler, at a high price.”
Ruan Yōu: ?
“Once others heard about this, they all came to look for your investment advisor.”
Ruan Yōu: ??
Ruan Yōu took in a sharp breath.
What! on! earth! has! happened!
She didn’t have time to think about why Jiang Huai would do this and said helplessly as she rubbed her temples, “Quickly, tell them to stop.”
Wei Wen fell silent and remained quiet for a whole minute.
After a minute, she said solemnly, “Miss, the real problem is was.”
“Young master Gu was very willing to let Jiang Huai poach his people, even ordering him to remove the initial user from the Gu family within five minutes.”
“Young master Gu said that no one can shake the investment advisory job he fought so hard to obtain during the intense competition.”
Ruan Yōu:….
So, he sent away the aunties, drivers, beauticians, and others from the family?
