On the day of her work, Luo Bei roughly calculated the profits of her businesses under her name.

It goes without saying that the unmanned stores and vending machines have been successful, and with six or seven budget hotels placing her vending machines over the past six months, business has been very good during holidays. The unmanned store has also opened its third branch. Overall, through this, the profits per month are nearly 20-30 thousand yuan.

In the disposable products field, she has also secured the right to supply several companies and the profits per month are comparable to the unmanned store…

For these two areas, the net profit per month is about 50,000 yuan.

Of course, the biggest source of profit now is still the online store and car beauty shop. After sharing profits with Gu Qianyan, during good business months, they can earn up to 100,000 yuan per month. Even in the off-season, they can still earn tens of thousands of yuan per month. A year ago, Luo Bei couldn’t even imagine this. She still keeps in touch with her former colleagues, and the girl who took over her position earns a similar basic salary. After a year, she only got a 500-yuan raise. After all the welfare benefits are added up, she can only earn around 7-8 thousand yuan per month.

But for someone who has just graduated for one or two years, this salary is still acceptable, as she is just a company employee.

Now, her income has increased tenfold compared to before.

More importantly, a few months ago, she bought a batch of tea and sold it for a profit of 30-40 thousand yuan. Luo Bei doesn’t have many expenses now, and she has saved tens of thousands of yuan. She thought about it and discussed it with her Grandma. She paid off her outstanding debts in advance. Now she and her Grandma are debt-free. As far as she can remember, they have been paying off debts all the time. Now, with the profits from her business and rent, she can earn over 100,000 yuan per month. She believes that by mid-year, she will be able to save up for the down payment for a small house without waiting until the end of the year!

When Luo Bei was talking to Gu Qianyan, she was so happy that she couldn’t hide it. “Once I buy a house and save up for a year or two, I will definitely decorate it the way I want. Also, I calculated my finances, and I won’t have any pressure on the mortgage because we still have a lot of rental income every month.”

Gu Qianyan teased her, “I knew you’d strike it rich someday. Since you want to decorate, why not just buy a bigger house? If you need money, I have some here.”

Luo Bei couldn’t help but be tempted. “How big should I buy?”

“At least three bedrooms and two living rooms,” Gu Qianyan planned for her. “One master bedroom, one guest bedroom, and one activity room that can be used as a study or a guest room. It’s better to save up and buy a larger apartment than to buy a small one.”

“…Okay,” Luo Bei thought about it. She planned to bring her grandmother to live with her in the future, so she would need a bigger house. Without even realizing it, she had secretly reserved a room for Gu Qianyan in her heart.

Actually, Luo Bei’s conditions were really good. Compared to most people struggling in this city, she was doing well.

She owned a building in the urban village, what did that mean? It meant that even if she did nothing, she could still live comfortably.

Thinking about the future, Luo Bei was full of expectations.

Although she was vulgar and only thought about buying a house and a car, the thought of having her own house and decorating it to her liking made her really excited.

As a matter of fact, it has been proven that although Gu Qianyan’s memory is not complete, his abilities and means are still the same, or even better than before.

He quickly became familiar with the work process, and the employees of the Gu family also noticed that Young President Gu seemed different from before. They couldn’t quite put their finger on what was different, but it felt good. The elders of the family cursed the ancestors of the Gu family for not knowing the situation. It turned out that Gu Qianyan didn’t have any problems. Old Gu, that old fox and crafty person, deliberately sent Gu Qianyan outside to exercise and gave him the opportunity to deal with them. Now it’s almost over, and he has brought his grandson back. Their duet is really wonderful.

Grandpa Gu saw that Gu Qianyan was still capable as ever and felt much more at ease. He had now come to terms with the fact that if he wanted to hand over the company to his grandson, he had to trust his judgment. If his grandson always followed his every word, he might end up disappointed.

On this day, Grandpa Gu was doing his usual activities of reading and writing in his old house when suddenly the butler came in and said that his disappointing son and daughter-in-law had returned and wanted to talk to him.

Grandpa Gu knew his son and daughter-in-law too well, and he already knew what they wanted to discuss without thinking about it.

As expected, as soon as they sat down, he heard his son hesitate and ask, “Dad, I heard that Qianyan has a girlfriend?”

Without lifting an eyelid, Grandpa Gu replied, “How would I know? Go ask your own son.”

Father Gu became silent, unsure of how to proceed. He glanced at his wife, hoping she could take the lead.

In truth, the couple cared about their son a lot. After all, Qianyan was their only child, and they loved him very much. However, their son was too stubborn and strong-willed, and they had lost their authority over him since his middle school years.

Despite this, Father and Mother Gu were happy that their son had become successful. They were prepared to live out their lives without much excitement, but their mismanagement of their family business left them feeling guilty. Fortunately, their son was intelligent, capable, and successful. That alone was enough to leave a mark in the history of the Gu family, wasn’t it?

Mother Gu gave her husband a glance, then looked at her father-in-law and said, “Dad, we haven’t talked to Qianyan these past few days, and you know his personality. We don’t dare to ask him about this kind of question. If he has a girlfriend, it’s okay, but if he doesn’t, he might think we are urging him to get married.”

“Yeah, Dad. Even when you asked him about marriage and dating before, he could get angry with you, let alone us,” added Father Gu.

Grandpa Gu cleared his throat heavily.

He wanted to remind his son and daughter-in-law not to bring up that past incident again. After all, his grandson calling them breeding cancers was not a glorious thing.

Father Gu and Mother Gu immediately fell silent.

“Qianyan is indeed dating someone. I really like that girl. I told you in advance. She is not from our circle.” Grandpa Gu glanced at his son and daughter-in-law, “She’s from an ordinary family. However, she is kind and good, and the most important thing is that Qianyan likes her very much. When you meet her in the future, you should show her some respect.”

Father Gu immediately replied, “Dad, you can rest assured about this. Qianyan’s own liking is stronger than anything else. Besides, the idea of matching families is quite outdated. As a father-in-law, how could I be so petty as to show a bad attitude towards my daughter-in-law? Throughout history, it has always been the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who have had problems.”

“I said, Gu Tingjun, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I would give Qianyan’s girlfriend a hard time?” Mother Gu snorted, “I am thrilled that my son is in a relationship. I am an educated person, and I have nothing to do with my son and daughter-in-law’s relationship. My son is not going to spend his life with me, so why would I offend my daughter-in-law?”

Basically, both of them don’t want to offend their future daughter-in-law. After all, they know very well that they want to live a comfortable life without worries. They used to rely on their parents, but don’t they need rely on their son in their old age? They know their son very well. After so many years, he finally has a girlfriend. It’s obvious how much he likes her. Are they crazy or out of their minds to act like stereotypical in-laws?

Grandpa Gu doesn’t want to see his son and daughter-in-law acting like this, so he waved his hand and shooed them away like chasing away a chicken.

After Father and Mother Gu left the study, they discussed what kind of gift would be appropriate for their son’s girlfriend.

“From the old man’s tone, it seems that Qianyan will bring his girlfriend back soon. What kind of gift should we prepare for the first-meeting gift?”

“I don’t know. Qianyan has never brought a girlfriend back before.”

“Well, why don’t you ask Qianyan what his girlfriend likes, and we’ll prepare accordingly.”

“Why don’t you ask? Why do I have to do it every time? Is your mouth just for decoration?”

“You are his mother, so it’s better for you to ask.”

“Well, you are his father, so if you don’t want to ask, don’t ask. I won’t ask either. You can ask if you want to.”

“If not, then prepare a big red envelope, it’s convenient.”

“If Qianyan is not satisfied at that time, just say it’s your idea.”

Father Gu was anxious, “Why are you like this?”

“I’m just like this, is it the first day you know me?” Mother Gu rolled her eyes. “I won’t talk to you anymore. I made an appointment with someone to play cards.”

Luo Bei worked until ten o’clock in the evening before returning home. After a five-minute call with Gu Qianyan, she took a shower and got ready to sleep.

She was very busy every day now, so when she lay down on the bed, she could fall asleep immediately within five minutes.

It’s just that she, who had not dreamed for a long time, had a very strange dream. The reason why the dream was strange was because she was also watching a novel throughout the process, but the female lead of this novel was actually her—

The male lead was an amnesiac domineering president who rented a house from the female lead by chance. The two of them started a business together and gradually developed feelings. When the male lead regained his identity, the two of them were already together. In terms of feelings, everything went smoothly. There were no female supporting characters or male supporting characters, no troublesome relatives, and no parents who opposed their relationship. They just got together naturally and got married and had children naturally.

At the end of the story, the female lead was already in her forties, and the company she founded was also listed in that year. She married the domineering president male lead in her twenties, and twenty years later, she also became a domineering president.
