As Gu Chenan stared at Song Xiaoli, he froze for a second.
Memories of the past flooded his mind like a reversing river.
There was no happiness or sweetness, only humiliation and pressure!
During high school, after getting together with Song Xiaoli, he not only took great care of her but also wanted to give her everything he could. He thought true sincerity would be reciprocated with sincerity.
But he never imagined that instead of receiving sincerity in return, what he got was the other person's overbearing attitude and the humiliation of having to buy gifts and apologize regardless of who was right or wrong.
However, several years had passed, and Gu Chenan had long since put it behind him.
Song Xiaoli's appearance only made him realize what a wonderful girl Su Qianmo was.
Compared to Su Qianmo, Song Xiaoli was like a firefly to the sun and moon, a river to the ocean!
Coming back to his senses, Gu Chenan smiled and nodded at Song Xiaoli, raising his glass and drinking it down with everyone else.
After several rounds of drinks, people started using their chopsticks, eating and chatting.
"Old Gu, where exactly are you working these days?" someone asked curiously.
Gu Chenan shook his head lightly and said, "It's nothing special, I just had some money on hand and bought a company."
As soon as he said this, everyone's hands holding their chopsticks froze.
All eyes turned to Gu Chenan.
Bought... bought a company?
Damn!
Did you win the lottery jackpot a hundred times or something? How can you be so extravagant?
First buying a villa and now a company?
"Mr. Gu, you're so generous!"
"Old Gu, you're really the most successful one in our class now, buying companies just like that. I'm impressed!"
"Hey Old Gu, what kind of company did you buy?"
Gu Chenan calmly replied, "It's a local company in our magical city, they make cosmetics. It's called Caiying."
"Cai..."
Class monitor Zhao Lu was stunned, his brows furrowing slightly.
"What's wrong, monitor? Do you know this company?"
Noticing Zhao Lu's unusual reaction, people asked.
Zhao Lu's expression became awkward, and he forced a smile, "I've heard of it, heard of it."
"Oh, what's this company like?"
"Hey, any company Mr. Gu chooses must be great."
Questions and flattery arose simultaneously.
Zhao Lu put down his chopsticks, looked at everyone, then at Gu Chenan.
"Shall I speak frankly?" He was seeking Gu Chenan's opinion.
Gu Chenan didn't mind and nodded, "Sure, let me hear it too."
"Ahem." Zhao Lu cleared his throat and said, "As far as I know, Caiying has broken its capital chain, its products aren't selling, and it's on the verge of bankruptcy."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and all eyes turned to Gu Chenan again.
Buying such a nearly bankrupt company, isn't that purely being a sucker who's left holding the bag?
Even if you're rich, you shouldn't waste money like this, right?
Although Gu Chenan didn't make eye contact with each person, he could sense the expressions in everyone's eyes.
Confusion, bewilderment, great shock.
"Uh..." Gu Chenan spread his hands and said, "I see. I didn't know this company had such big problems."
This wasn't just modesty; he really didn't know.
Su Qianmo had chosen this company, he just bought it without knowing anything else.
"Old Gu, were you scammed?" Zhao Lu asked with a frown.
Gu Chenan shrugged without answering, and the others didn't dare to ask further.
But a thought instantly appeared in everyone's minds.
Gu Chenan, who knows nothing about the business world, actually bought a company without investigation. It seems his vision and ability are seriously problematic!
He may seem to have a lot of money now, but as soon as he takes over this company, he'll lose all his money!
Tsk tsk tsk, a nouveau riche is just a nouveau riche, without ability it's all bullshit!
The admiration and respect that had just appeared for Gu Chenan diminished greatly at this moment.
Those who had originally wanted to build a good relationship with Gu Chenan and get his help also gave up on this idea.
When Gu Chenan loses all his money, forget about helping others, it would be good if he doesn't come borrowing money!
"Ah hahaha." Zhao Lu scratched the back of his head and laughed, slightly easing the heavy atmosphere, "Looks like I said too much."
"It's fine, it's not a big deal. Although this company is about to go bankrupt, I'm confident I can make it big and strong," Gu Chenan said nonchalantly.
"Hahaha, yes, that's right, Mr. Gu has guts."
"Old Gu, I'm not saying... ah never mind, it's nothing, wish you a bright future."
"Mr. Gu, all of us classmates are watching, don't let us down, okay?"
People basically didn't believe what Gu Chenan said, just laughing it off and smoothing things over.
This sudden change in attitude is understandable. A gaming addict who never studied suddenly got some money from somewhere and bought a nearly bankrupt company, saying he would make it big and strong.
Not just these people, no one would believe it.
If you had this ability, why would you have stayed dormant at home for so long?
Yes, it's true that even the finest jade can be covered in dust, and even the bright moon can't resist dark rainy clouds, but the light of a firefly can never illuminate the night.
Gu Chenan's behavior naturally made everyone think it was a rash and ridiculous decision.
It's not exactly schadenfreude, but everyone wanted to see Gu Chenan crash and burn.
"Come on, let's eat," Zhao Lu urged.
For the rest of the time, those who had been eagerly raising their glasses to drink with Gu Chenan earlier notably decreased, and those coming to pour wine for him disappeared entirely.
Gu Chenan went from being the center of attention to being treated like everyone else, no longer receiving any flattery from the crowd.
As the banquet was ending and people were about to leave, Song Xiaoli approached with a glass of red wine.
"Chenan, we haven't toasted yet tonight, shall we drink?"
Seeing this, everyone's gossip-loving hearts started beating faster.
"Old Gu, Xiaoli is your old flame, shouldn't you drink a cross-cup with her?"
"Yeah, you two used to be the most famous couple in our class back then."
"Come on, Old Gu, have a drink with Xiaoli."
Before Gu Chenan could speak, Song Xiaoli snorted and said, "Sorry, Chenan, I can't drink a cross-cup with you. My boyfriend would be angry."
Gu Chenan: ?
Wait, sister, are you an idiot?
I didn't say I wanted to drink a cross-cup with you?
Don't think so highly of yourself, okay? Is this another delusional woman?
Gu Chenan glanced at Song Xiaoli with some annoyance and mimicked her tone, saying sarcastically, "I'm sorry, I don't drink with other women. My girlfriend would be angry."
Gu Chenan's attitude made Song Xiaoli frown, and she was about to make a sarcastic remark when suddenly she grinned.
"Come on, Chenan, are you still mad at me? Back then, I just wanted you to buy me a phone, and when you couldn't afford it, I broke up with you. Do you have to hold a grudge for so long?"
"Oh right, I forgot to mention, my current boyfriend is the general manager of Zhenhua Cosmetics. I heard you bought a cosmetics company, you should know him, right?"
"Ah, I'm not complaining, but my boyfriend is great in every way, except he likes to give me gifts all the time. He gives me a limited edition bag every month. Don't you think that's too much? I've told him, but he won't listen. It's so annoying!"
Gu Chenan: ?
Wait, sister, who the hell asked you?
You're obviously here to show off, right?
Damn it, if you want to show off, fine, but why do you have to make a comparison with me?
Putting someone down to lift yourself up?
Did you graduate from the University of Chinese Entertainment Industry or something?
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
