Chapter 113: Chapter 112 The Dean Let Me Be It Too!

"...""Hmm, no problem, I'll definitely be there."

"Great, thank you!"

The phone call lasted ten minutes, and the entire time it was Xu Fei's assistant on the other line introducing the specific content of the investment seminar.

After thinking about it, since I didn't have anything else going on tomorrow, I decided I might as well go have a look at Shengda.

Get an understanding of how these big companies operate.

"What's going on? Did someone invite you to some event?"

Lin Xinyue asked, puzzled, as she had faintly heard words like company, investment, and conference coming from Gu Yu's phone call.

"It's an internal investment initiative from Shengda Game for some of Modu's internet startups. The gist is that they're looking to inject funds into small companies like Ideal Paradise to support their development," Gu Yu nodded, giving her a brief rundown.

He then smirked with a smile, "How about it, Secretary Lin, would you like to accompany me tomorrow?"

Being invited by Gu Yu, Lin Xinyue lightly tapped her chin with her index finger, pondering for a moment.

"Hmm! I'm free tomorrow, so I'll join you!"

She then gave Gu Yu a playful glare, "I am both your agent and your secretary—you've got to give me a raise, you know!"

Hearing this, Gu Yu, who had been wondering how to fleece the system for more benefits, quickly patted his chest and said, "No problem! I'll raise it to six thousand! Double the base salary!"

That was the highest salary he could currently offer within the system's set range!

Lin Xinyue, seeing his bluster, hadn't expected him to take her seriously.

She quickly waved her hands, "No no, I was just kidding! Three thousand is fine for me!"

From the very beginning when she joined Ideal Paradise, she had made it clear that she would only take the minimum base salary and didn't want anything else.

Gu Yu, knowing he couldn't win the argument, reluctantly nodded.

"Alright, thanks for your hard work! Not only do you have to handle my external business cooperation, but you also assist with company management..."

It wasn't like he had just got a girlfriend; he had found a treasure!

Xinyue did so much work for him without any complaints or demands.

Gu Yu cherished this relationship even more in his heart.

They say behind every successful man is a woman who quietly contributes, and he felt he had already found her.

"Your business is my business. If you become a tycoon in the future, doesn't that make me the wealthy lady?"

Lin Xinyue said with pride but quickly realized that Gu Yu wasn't poor now!

She hastily corrected herself, "When you become chairman in the future, doesn't that make me the chairman's wife?"

No sooner had the words left her mouth, she felt something was off. Gu Yu's company might be small now, but he was indeed the rightful chairman, wasn't he?

Saying "in the future" was also incorrect...

Watching Lin Xinyue's conflicted expression, Gu Yu smiled lightly and pulled her into his arms.

"We share both fortune and misfortune, riches and diligence—you will always be the most important person by my side."

He had no family left in the world, and it was Lin Xinyue who had given him something to care about anew.

If she stayed with him, he was resolved to follow her through life and death!

Lin Xinyue's heart trembled, and she nestled into Gu Yu's chest, blushing.

But there was someone who couldn't sit still anymore.

"Hey hey hey! Chairman Sir and Madam Chairman, please lift your hands. Can you stop showing off your affection and ignoring my existence?"

Hu Xiaoya looked helplessly at the two of them.

She was cleaning the table, but Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue's hands were always resting on the table. She had whispered reminders several times, but they completely ignored her!

Is this what they mean by love being blind and deaf?

Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue quickly withdrew their hands, sharing a smiling glance.

After breakfast, Lin Xinyue returned to her room and focused on handling the contract for Gu Yu's endorsement of Honey Jar Ice City with her laptop.

Gu Yu sat beside her for a while but soon found it dull.

Stuff like textual regulations made his head ache, being a man of science and technology.

He was fine with looking at code, but drafting contracts was not his forte!

Thank goodness for Lin Xinyue taking care of it; otherwise, he would have likely declined these messy endorsement deals without a second thought.

"How about we don't take on these kinds of endorsement events anymore? We really aren't in need of this small amount of money."

Gu Yu said as he watched Lin Xinyue's focused profile, brushing her hair that fell near her eyes back behind her ear.

Lin Xinyue turned her face and rolled her eyes at him.

"We can't just spend money without earning it. Besides, I've already negotiated this endorsement with Honey Jar Ice City. It's virtually no burden on you, but it's an easy twenty thousand in endorsement fees per year."

"Why not take the money if it's free, the steady trickle is the way of life!"

She felt that Gu Yu must have gotten a bit too cocky, thinking that two hundred thousand a year is just small change!

Looking at Lin Xinyue, who appeared thrifty and good at managing a household, Gu Yu scratched his head and could only let out an "Oh!"

Lin Xinyue helplessly curled her lip and moved her gaze back to the computer to process some contract files.

Gu Yu saw that she was focused on her work and didn't want to keep bothering her.

He went to sit on the bed and play with his phone, scrolling through Dou Ying.

After playing for a little while, a new message suddenly popped up on Feixin, prompting him to add a friend.

He clicked on it to see a profile picture of an old man with white hair; the nickname was 'Fugia Fang', with a note saying: I'm Shu Fugai, I've got some matters I'd like to discuss with you.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering why this Shu Yinyin's uncle was coming to him again?

Hadn't their last negotiation already fallen through?

He hadn't given any face to Dean Shu at all, yet the man still took the initiative to add him?

With the mentality of watching a drama unfold, Gu Yu accepted the friend request.

Fugia Fang: "Gu Yu, student, I am Dean Shu Fugai."

Right after the add, the other party sent an introduction.

Gu Yu casually replied: "I know, what do you want?"

Fugia Fang: "Hehe, Yu, I admit that my bringing Yinyin to you to apologize last time was rather rash, and I also acknowledge that Yinyin's attitude in apologizing was not good. I hope that you, as the better person, won't hold it against the lesser, and don't take it to heart."

Seeing Shu Fugai calling him Yu filled Gu Yu with question marks.

Why was Dean Shu apologizing again?

He had thought that the reason he had been added was so he could be cursed out, and yet?

What was this new act all about?

Gu Yu: "You really live up to being in the arts, with words that make a mundane person like me unable to understand. Just speak plainly! What's the purpose of adding me?"

As soon as he sent his message, he noticed the other party had been typing for quite some time.

After a good thirty to forty seconds, Shu Fugai sent another message:

"Hehe, you're still so blunt when you speak, so let me be straight with you. I was hoping to settle, in private, the misunderstandings between you and Yinyin. Anyway, Yinyin has been expelled now, so the anger in your heart should be gone, right?"

"Why go to the extent of a total fallout? Leave some room for flexibility, so when we meet again in the school, it'll be less awkward, won't it?"

"Just retract your lawsuit, and name your price, a hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? I can afford it! If you want to study art, I can guarantee postgraduate positions in the arts college for your entire dorm!"

Even though Shu Fugai had written a lot, Gu Yu just glanced over it briefly.

The gist was that Shu Yinyin was pretty much confirmed to be facing a jail sentence, and both Shu Yinyin and Shu Fugai were getting desperate, looking to spend money to solve the disaster.

But whether it was a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, or guaranteed postgraduate positions, none of them enticed Gu Yu in the slightest.

As for the three guys in his dormitory, after living together for three years, Gu Yu didn't think any of them were interested in pursuing the arts.

Since money and postgraduate positions were meaningless to him, he didn't even think twice before refusing. Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He didn't feel like being polite in his response, either; perhaps it was time to disgust Shu Fugai a little more.

On the other side of Feixin,

Shu Fugai sat in the dean's office, beside him was Shu Yinyin, who had been bailed out for a huge sum.

"Uncle, will this work? What if Gu Yu demands an exorbitant amount?"

Shu Yinyin looked haggard, clearly having suffered quite a bit in custody.

Shu Fugai looked at his niece with a mixture of anger and heartache, sighing deeply: "Even if he demands an exorbitant amount, we have no other way. Do you really want to spend two years in prison?"

"If you end up with a criminal record from time in jail, it will be detrimental to your future forever!"

"Your parents have already said that, even if it takes fifty or a hundred thousand, they have to get you out. I think this Gu Yu probably won't really set such a high price. Just a university student, what does he know about that kind of money? Ten or twenty thousand will make him secretly happy!"

Just as Shu Fugai thought he had Gu Yu figured out and was confidently comforting Shu Yinyin, his phone buzzed twice.

Gu Yu: "Oh! So you mean a private settlement? Sure!"

Seeing the message, both Shu Fugai and Shu Yinyin's faces brightened.

"Whatever you want, just sa..."

Gu Yu: "A private settlement is fine, ten million in cash, and I'll also take the dean position from you."

Before Shu Fugai could finish typing his message, Gu Yu sent another one. After reading Gu Yu's reply, before the word "say" could even be typed out, he almost crushed his phone.

"Impertinent brat! Scoundrel!"

Fury flashed across Shu Fugai's face, and he quickly changed what was in the input box.

"!"

Gu Yu had deleted him right after sending the message!!!
