“You’ve admitted your mistake sincerely, so I won’t scold you anymore,” Chen Liangdong replied. “But you still need to be punished. Little Yu, you and I are bound together. If you make a mistake, I’ll take the blame.”

“Why?” Gu Ziyu frowned. “I made the mistake. I don’t need you to take the blame.”

Chen Liangdong smiled and shook his head. “It doesn’t work that way. You’re the little pride of our country. How can I punish you? So, you’ll only punish me.”

Gu Ziyu clenched his small fists and glared at Chen Liangdong. Chen Liangdong took a bite of roast beef. “It’s settled then.”

“If Chen Fei doesn’t say anything, you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, no one will know!”

Chen Liangdong shook his head and pointed at the sky. “No, only the heavens know. Little brat, the heavens are watching us. We have to be magnanimous and act as gentlemen. If we’re wrong, we’ll admit our mistakes, okay?” “What punishment will you receive?”

“Punishment!” Chen Liangdong chuckled. “This is the first punishment I’ve ever received. I hope it will make us more cautious in our words and actions. After three punishments, I’ll retire from this military uniform.”

Gu Ziyu’s expression slightly changed, and he tightly clenched his little fists.

Chen Liangdong snapped his fingers. “Boss, give me another serving of beef tongue. My kid loves it.”

“Alright!” the boss replied.

Chen Liangdong looked at the gloomy Gu Ziyu and lovingly coaxed him. “You’re so adorable at such a young age. Why are you wearing such a long face? You should smile more.”

Gu Ziyu was speechless.

At the Global Center, Ji Meng handed the video to Lu Zhiyuan. Lu Zhiyuan watched Gu Ziyu’s actions and words in the hospital from beginning to end, and he was surprised.

“Gu Ziyu?”

“It’s true, Third Master,” Ji Meng said. “This child… Antisocial personality?”

Lu Zhiyuan fell silent.

Ji Meng smiled. “I quite like it.”

Lu Zhiyuan’s cold gaze swept over, and Ji Yao smiled. “I’m just joking, Third Master. Don’t take it so seriously.”

Lu Zhiyuan turned off the video and tapped his fingers on the table. “This child is extremely intelligent and ruthless. He harbors a deep hostility towards the Blackhawk Group. Keep an eye on him… He’ll bring endless trouble in the future.”

Ji Meng was surprised. Did Third Master really want to get rid of him?

“When humans are young, it is indeed the best time to clip their wings,” Ji Meng raised his eyebrows. “Young Master and Miss Gu Ci have a deep relationship. If something happens to him, Miss Gu Ci will be devastated.”

Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes darkened. “Ji Meng…”

“Yes, Third Master.”

“You talk too much.”

Ji Meng maintained a polite smile that wasn’t awkward. Lu Zhiyuan didn’t dwell on Gu Ziyu’s matter. “Since you’re in City A, gradually take over the Asian department. I want you to replace the Asian department president within two years.”

“One year is enough,” Ji Meng replied confidently.

Gu Ci’s follow-up examination showed that she was in good health. After the doctor approved her discharge, Zhou Jinjin helped her pack her things. The bruise on Gu Ci’s chin had not completely faded, but the colors had lightened, and it wasn’t very noticeable anymore.

After completing the discharge procedures, Gu Ci went to visit the old lady. Unfortunately, the old lady was still asleep. The surgery had been successful, but she needed rest afterward. Gu Ci didn’t wait for her to wake up and returned to the Global Center.

Zhou Jinjin finally sensed that something was amiss. “Did you have another argument with Lu Zhiyuan?”

“Yes,” Gu Ci replied.

Zhou Jinjin slapped his forehead. “You two really can’t get along. You’ve been enemies since you were young. What’s the reason this time?”

Gu Ci was speechless about the matter.

“I can’t coax him this time,” she said. It was extremely difficult to appease Lu Zhiyuan when he was angry.

“You’re too kind when you’re in love. Lu Shixiu cheated on me,” Zhou Jinjin mockingly said. “This idiot has been trying to contact me recently.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m famous.”

Zhou Jinjin had started a beauty blogger account in her second year of high school, and she even guaranteed to release a magazine every week during her third year of high school. The traffic on her platform had always been high, making her quite popular.

After the college entrance exam results were released, she posted her scores and quickly gained even more popularity. The traffic on her account soared. Recently, she had endorsed a domestic brand, and the sales exceeded 100 million yuan in just half a month. She earned 4 million yuan from it.

Zhou Jinjin scoffed, “Everyone calls him the Second Young Master of the Lu family, but he’s only good at putting on a facade. When we were dating, I was the one who paid for the l,ooo-yuan-per-person restaurant bill. He had no shares, no assets. He only relied on his mother’s monthly allowance, which was about 500,000 yuan. Who is Qiao Yamei? She’s fair, rich, and beautiful. She spends money like water. I saw her WeChat Moments posts, showing off her bags and jewelry. Lu Shixiu’s pocket money isn’t enough for her to spend. She can’t go back to her old ways.”

“What a scumbag,” Gu Ci pursed her lips and reminded Zhou Jinjin, “Transfer the money to me. I’ll take care of it.”

“I haven’t received the 4 million yuan yet.”

“I don’t want you to be soft-hearted and let a scumbag take advantage of you.” “Do you think I’m stupid? Why would I let him deceive me?” Zhou Jinjin snorted. “I’ll work hard to earn money. When I’m forty, I’ll find myself a twenty-year-old hunk.”

“Ambitious!” Gu Ci gave him an expressionless thumbs up. “Remember to transfer the money. I checked the earnings from the last investment. You already have 1.2 million yuan in my account.”

“Damn, Cici, you’re amazing,” Zhou Jinjin’s eyes sparkled with stars, but he quickly turned serious. “I want to use this money to start a business. My account has been receiving a lot of traffic recently. I need to recruit people, select products, do quality control, handle data, and manage public relations. The Global Center also has an empty office building. Can I rent it?”

Gu Ci wanted to take Zhou Jinjin to find Li Jiang.

After Li Jiang confirmed Zhou Jinjin’s needs, he provided her with three office spaces to choose from. Each space was around 500 square meters and had two bedrooms that could be used for both commercial and residential purposes. The rent was also discounted by 20%. Zhou Jinjin calculated the costs and happily signed a two-year contract.

“I have a cash flow problem,” Gu Ci said.

“No problem.” Zhou Jinjin knew that starting a business could be challenging, so she didn’t hesitate to accept Gu Ci’s offer. With sufficient funds, this position would be more flexible, and the costs wouldn’t be too high.

In the future, when she became more established, Gu Ci planned to create her own beauty brand. There was already a prototype, and it was slowly being perfected.

Coincidentally, Zhou Jinjin received a call from Zhou Li’s manager while discussing the venue with Li Jiang. He wanted to discuss Zhou Li’s live broadcast with her.

Since Gu Ci and Zhou Li were quite familiar with each other, Zhou Jinjin invited Gu Ci to join the discussion.

Zhou Li and his manager, Brother Qiang, came to Worldwide, and the group discussed business. Zhou Li was the first celebrity to be invited to Zhou Jinjin’s live broadcast. He agreed to it mainly because of Gu Ci.

On Zhou Jinjin’s social media platform, she often posted photos of her and Gu Ci together. From junior high to the college entrance exams, Zhou Jinjin had a fiery temper and didn’t hide the fact that they were bullied and isolated in school.

Their story of being beautiful sisters who entered A University together resonated with many people.

Brother Qiang and Zhou Jinjin discussed the details of the live broadcast room, the requirements, and the working hours. Gu Ci and Zhou Li sat on the side, sipping tea. Zhou Li spoke up, “Last time, we agreed to collaborate on a music project. What does Cici think about it?”

“I can write a song for you,” Gu Ci replied. She didn’t want to waste her musical talents. “If you have any inspiration or a specific style in mind, I can work with you to create something..”
