This commotion was just a small interlude in the banquet. It subsided after Song Xiaoli laid down her harsh words.
Song Xiaoli walked back to her table with a scowl, while the surrounding classmates tried to persuade Gu Chenan.
"Old Gu, why are you making such a fuss? It's just a drink, is it really worth all this drama?"
"Oh come on, Old Gu. Xiaoli's boyfriend is the general manager of Zhenhua. Zhenhua practically rules the cosmetics industry in Shanghai. How will your company survive if you offend her?"
"Old Gu, go apologize to Xiaoli. We're all old classmates, let's not make a scene."
"That's right. Old Gu, you can't just call Xiaoli an ugly woman. She's as beautiful as a flower, so pretty."
"Old Gu must have been speaking out of anger, saying whatever came to mind."
Although no one really believed that Caiying could be revitalized under Gu Chenan's management, they still tried to mediate by mentioning Song Xiaoli's boyfriend's influence.
"Apologize?" Gu Chenan looked around at everyone. "What should I apologize for?"
"She threatened me. Why should I apologize to her?"
"And as for calling her an ugly woman, I was just telling the truth. It wasn't said out of anger," Gu Chenan stated honestly.
If Song Xiaoli were to be singled out, she definitely wouldn't be considered ugly. But when compared to Su Qianmo and other female protagonists from novels, who else would be considered ugly if not her?
Seeing Gu Chenan's resolute attitude, no one spoke up again. They just went along with what he said.
"That's true. CEO Gu is not the same as before. How could he possibly apologize to her?"
"Look at Old Gu's attitude. He doesn't seem scared at all, does he?"
"Old Gu has seen many beautiful women, unlike us."
Though they said these things, their hearts told a different story.
Gu Chenan's attitude made many of them feel dissatisfied, even disdainful.
You just made some money and bought a company, and now you're getting cocky?
Forget about her boyfriend ruining your company, your company won't even survive without their help!
Even Caiying's original owner, who had been in the cosmetics industry for so long, could only watch helplessly as Caiying went downhill. How could you, someone who knows nothing about cosmetics, possibly make Caiying bigger and stronger?
Now you've offended Song Xiaoli, and her boyfriend is not to be trifted with.
Besides, even if you were angry, you didn't need to tell such an obvious lie.
Song Xiaoli was our class beauty after all. How pretty is your girlfriend that you can call her ugly?
Ah, success at a young age leads to arrogance!
The already tense class reunion came to an end amidst everyone's dissatisfaction with Gu Chenan.
Having been through the world of novels, Gu Chenan could pretty much guess what these people were thinking.
If things went as expected, the next plot point would be him getting his revenge.
Suddenly, Gu Chenan felt a bit dazed.
Damn, in the novel I was the villain, but now back in the real world, I'm following the plot of a web novel protagonist?
What's next? Am I going to be provoked by Song Xiaoli's boyfriend, and then get my revenge on all my classmates and her boyfriend after Qianmo makes the company big and strong?
Damn, no, please no.
Anticipating the upcoming plot, Gu Chenan felt goosebumps all over his body.
It seems he should avoid such class reunions in the future. Wouldn't it be better to focus on making the company bigger and stronger, waiting for all the female protagonists to travel through time to him?
......
The group walked out of the restaurant and stood outside saying their goodbyes.
But just then, Gu Chenan's phone rang.
He looked at the number. It was Su Qianmo.
"Hello, Qianmo, what's up?" Gu Chenan answered.
On the other end of the line, Su Qianmo asked, "When are you coming home?"
"Right away."
"Oh." Su Qianmo nodded and then said, "You've all come out, right?"
Gu Chenan was stunned. He looked around.
"How did you know?"
"Hehe." Su Qianmo laughed mischievously, "I followed you after you left."
Gu Chenan: ?
"Wait, why did you follow me?"
Su Qianmo said softly, "Why would you leave me alone at home? It's boring. Besides, I'm your fiancée. Shouldn't you introduce me to your classmates?"
Su Qianmo knew that other people would be traveling through time to Gu Chenan's side in the future.
So before that happened, she had to make full preparations!
That meant having Gu Chenan announce to everyone that she was his fiancée!
Now Gu Chenan's parents knew, so next were his classmates and friends.
If she waited until others arrived, it would be much more difficult to handle.
Gu Chenan hadn't thought of this point, but when Su Qianmo brought it up, he suddenly understood.
Su Qianmo had come to this unknown world with only him to rely on, and he hadn't given her enough sense of security. This was indeed not right.
"Where are you now?" Gu Chenan asked.
"Squatting by the roadside," Su Qianmo replied.
"Why are you squatting there? If you're here, just come over."
"Okay!" Su Qianmo's voice brightened as she stood up and walked towards the restaurant entrance.
It wasn't that Su Qianmo didn't want to come over, she just wasn't sure what Gu Chenan was thinking.
She had squatted in this inconspicuous spot by the roadside. If Gu Chenan wanted her to come over, she would. If he didn't want to introduce her to his classmates, she could ensure that no one else saw her.
"What's up, Old Gu? Who are you talking to?" someone came over and asked.
"My girlfriend," Gu Chenan said, then addressed the group, "Everyone, I'm going to pick up my girlfriend."
Hearing this, everyone became interested.
Earlier, Zhang Fan had said that Gu Chenan's girlfriend was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and just now Gu Chenan had called Song Xiaoli an ugly woman.
Putting these two things together, everyone naturally became extremely curious about Gu Chenan's girlfriend.
They wanted to see what Gu Chenan's girlfriend really looked like, and they all had the same thought.
If Gu Chenan's girlfriend wasn't as pretty as Song Xiaoli, what gave him the courage to call Song Xiaoli ugly?
If Gu Chenan's girlfriend looked about the same as Song Xiaoli, and he called Song Xiaoli ugly, then his girlfriend must be ugly too!
"Alright, alright, go quickly and come back soon. We'll wait for you."
"Oh wow, Old Gu's girlfriend is here too? Are you planning to show her off to us?"
Gu Chenan ignored their comments, waved his hand, and quickly walked towards the roadside.
Nearby, when the female classmates heard that Gu Chenan's girlfriend was coming, their eyes immediately lit up.
Zhang Fan said Gu Chenan's girlfriend was unbelievably beautiful. Well, let's see just how beautiful she can be!
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
ither go to a cultivation world where a single sword strike can defeat ten thousand enemies. Or they travel back to historical dynasties to alter history and wield imperial power. At the very least, they'd go back a few decades to get rich using their future knowledge and build a harem. Who the hell would transmigrate here!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
