Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 17 – The successor of the top wealthy family, Lu Jin, is Ruan Yōu’s biggest fan.

Gu Fuchen happily bought two million followers for Ruan Yōu and specifically told her the good news. However, he only received his sister’s response of “Don’t buy it!”

It made him heartbroken.

But the pain didn’t last long.

After careful consideration, he realized that Ruanruan’s reaction was normal. Receiving a million followers as a gift for the first time would make anyone happy, but receiving the same gift again would become boring.

He realized that he didn’t come up with a good plan and was too hasty in his pursuit of success.

After much thought, he decided that playing games was a more reliable way.

Tonight, he will team up with his sister for a five-person game, and plenty of quality time awaits him.

The training session that was scheduled for yesterday afternoon had to be postponed to today due to Fu Jiazhan and Lu Jin’s unexpected delay.

Gu Fuchen didn’t invite Gu Zexi, instead, he invited a fellow member of the Gu family from his friend list to join their five-person game.

The four didn’t use the in-game voice chat, but instead used WeChat’s group chat voice call. They always did this when there were outsiders around.

Apart from each other, no one knew their true nature.

They had a good sense of self-awareness.

After the two-hour training session ended, Gu Fuchen privately messaged Lu Jin.

G : [Have you stopped being a fan?]

In order to ensure Ruanruan’s smooth enrollment in the investment class, Gu Fuchen had to find out which star Lu Jin was currently chasing.

They played the game for two hours, and Lu Jin, contrary to his usual behavior, didn’t mention anything related to star-chasing, which naturally made people wonder.

Lu : [Don’t spread rumors! I’ve found my spiritual garden.]

G: [ ? ]

Lu : [Oh, I joined her Super Topics, and there are many like-minded people there.]

Before, Lu Jin’s journey of chasing stars was very lonely. When he wanted to vent his excitement, he could only talk to his three friends. But none of them chased stars, so they had no common topics.

Before, it was okay because Lu Jin was quick to move on to the next obsession. Even if he had nothing in common with his friends, he could still enjoy watching highlight clips and it didn’t affect his daily life.

But this time was different.

The hastily departed white moonlight became an unresolved pain on his journey of chasing stars!

Lu Jin knows that Gu Fuchen, Fu Jiazhan, and Jiang Huai have never been star chasers nor do they care about chasing stars. After failing to promote his favorite celebrity twice and feeling alone in praising Ruan Yōu, he turned his attention to Super Topics.

He first learned about this community from the bullet comments while watching dramas.

Lu Jin didn’t pay much attention.

His pursuit of stars has always been lonely and secretive.

Later, at a dinner party, a sophisticated woman in her forties scolded a little girl for wasting so much time browsing Super Topics and posting replies every day.

Hearing the other person’s private affairs by accident, Lu Jin felt embarrassed and left quickly.

He doesn’t have a very good impression of Super Topics.

What is the point of checking in, posting, and analyzing data?

Businessman Lu Jin did not see the value of these things until he invested in Ruan Yōu’s Super Topics and finally felt the charm of the two words Super Topics.

It’s like a residence.

Gather a group of people with similar interests together, explore the things or people they like.

These two words are no different from football groups, investment groups, or alumni groups. Essentially, they all allow like-minded people to find their spiritual home.

Lu Jin can freely praise Ruan Yōu here, not only receiving feedback from others, but they will also dig up more material and behind-the-scenes stories that he hasn’t found.

In short, it’s amazing.

Lu Jin has already regarded this place as his spiritual garden.

Ruan Yōu’s carefree and uninhibited demeanor, as if nothing mattered, and her decisive departure when quitting the circle deeply moved him.

Lu Jin asked back to Gu Fuchen : [Do you regret it? Were you also moved by her quality of being indifferent to everything and her carefree heroic spirit?]

G : [ ? ]

G : [Thank you, I have a sister, so I won’t praise others.]

Lu : [Once you have seen her video materials, you won’t say that kind of thing anymore.]

Gu Fuchen wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but he thought for two seconds and asked, [So, who is this carefree heroic woman?]

Lu Jin couldn’t let go of this opportunity to introduce Fu Chen to the same interest.

[I’m at the company, I’ll show you her magazine posters and videos of her TV dramas!]

Gu Fuchen didn’t want to waste time, but no matter how he tried to contact Lu Jin after that, the other party wouldn’t respond. In the end, he had to ask Song Wen to prepare a car and go to Lu Group’s building.

After receiving the message, Song Wen secretly rejoiced.

Every once in a while, Gu Fuchen, Jiang Huai, Fu Jia Zhan, and Lu Jin would go to each other’s companies to learn and observe.

Mutual learning, common progress.

Recently, Mr. Gu’s sister complex had taken over his mind and body, and he really needed to be stimulated by other outstanding leaders.

Commonly known as: CEO’s internal competition.

Look at Mr. Lu.

He comes to the company to work overtime on Saturdays, how fully dedicated he is to his career!

Look at their Mr. Gu again.

Forget about coming to the office on Saturdays, he works from home even on Fridays; he only comes to the office on Saturdays to deal with his sister’s “black fan” and give them a lesson on how to become fans.

Gu Fuchen quickly scanned through the documents he needed to read, made a few comments, and left work early.

Song Wen followed him, and stepped into Lu Group’s building with a learning attitude.

Lu Jin’s office is on the 38th floor.

He chatted about recent industry developments with Lu Jin’s special assistant.

Gu Fuchen was brought by Lu Jin to his lounge.

“You didn’t take a break today?”

Lu Jin : “They have come back to the country.”

Gu Fuchen understood what he meant. When Uncle and Aunt Lu were at home, they kept a close eye on him, making it difficult for him to find time to chase starts and check out the Super Topics.

If Song Wen knew that the two leading figures of these two major corporations were working overtime on Saturdays not for work purposes, his eyes would probably roll up to the sky.

Gu Fuchen : “What material is it and where is it?”

Lu Jin took out a large cardboard box from the safe and gently pulled out the rare edition magazine inside.

“This is the first photobook I ever bought. I spent a fortune to buy it from someone else.”
“It cost me a whopping two thousand.” The thought of it made Lu Jin wince.

As Gu Fu Chen walked over, he hadn’t seen the cover yet, but when he heard Lu Jin’s words, his footsteps suddenly paused. “Twenty million1?”

Lu Jin : …

“Two thousand yuan,” Lu Jin corrected him.

Gu Fuchen said, “I forgot, you can only use your own money to chase star.”

This was also Lu Jin’s attitude towards star chasing.

Gu Fuchen vaguely sensed that the words “chasing stars” were significant to Lu Jin, but he didn’t know the reason.

“You see, our Ruan Yōu, her first photobook exudes the aura of a free and unrestrained heroine.”

Gu Fuchen’s narrow eyes were slightly stunned, and he raised his head. In his pitch-black pupils, there seemed to be no bottom. His hand gradually stiffened, and he quickly walked over to take the photobook from Lu Jin’s hand, looking at him incredulously.

“Ruan Yōu?”

Lu Jin spoke with a serious tone, “Yes, the female celebrity I’m a fan of is called Ruan Yōu.”

“You may not be familiar with her,” added Lu Jin.

Gu Fuchen didn’t have time to listen to him.

No one knew Ruan Yōu better than him.

His sister did possess all the noble qualities that a fairy should have.

But she was still a pitiful little thing who was wronged needed his protection.

This could be seen from the matter about investment.

Lu Jin : “She just retired from the entertainment industry recently, and her fame is average. But that’s not her fault. The investors in the entertainment industry only want to make money. They are blind and have no taste, and cannot appreciate Ruan Yōu’s level. So, you see, with their push, the domestic entertainment industry is going to collapse.”

The two heirs of the families reached an unprecedented agreement on this point.

Thinking of something, Lu Jin chuckled, “So, my new favorite female celebrity is indeed as good as I said, right?”

Gu Fuchen shook his head.

Lu Jin’s face darkened, and he was about to retort, but Gu Fuchen interrupted him in a deep voice.

“You still haven’t accurately described her excellence.”

Lu Jin was slightly stunned, and after a long while, he nodded heavily.

“Let me read a few more ancient texts and improve my artistic skills, and I should be able to find a suitable description.”

When Lu Jin’s assistant came in to deliver coffee, Song Wen secretly peeked inside the door. Seeing Gu Fuchen looking serious, his heart relaxed.

After Special Assistant Li came out, he asked with a smile, “What’s going on?”

Song Wen sighed, “Mr. Gu has been a bit inactive lately. After being stimulated by Mr. Lu, he will definitely become more productive.”

Special Assistant Li agreed, “Mr. Lu has been working 9962 recently.”

Song Wen looked at him with some pity and asked, “Do you have to follow him?”

“No,” Special Assistant Li said proudly, “today was a special situation. I came because there were some things I didn’t finish yesterday. Our company has five-days worktime a week, but Mr. Lu is doing 996 alone.”

What a great boss.

If he doesn’t make money, it’s against the heavens!

Song Wen felt suffocated.

It turned out that he was the clown forced to work overtime by his boss.

However, considering that Mr. Gu had just given him a set of houses this year, he could endure it for a while longer.

In the office, the two CEOs, who, in the eyes of the special assistants, were competing to work hard and run their businesses, were sitting in the lounge watching highlights of Ruan Yōu’s TV dramas.

“Her acting skills are really good,” Lu Jin couldn’t help but sigh.

Gu Fu Chen came back to his senses from the video and felt a deep sense of crisis.

He absolutely couldn’t let Lu Jin see Ruanruan!

Otherwise, he would never have a place by his sister’s side. More importantly, Lu Jin had watched more videos about Ruan Yōu than he had! He had done more research!

Maybe he shouldn’t let her attend the investment class.

He could still cultivate his sister’s confidence by going to the economic conference.

Now there’s a more important question to ask.

Gu Fuchen sat beside Lu Jin, his voice low and hoarse: “You’re not her… boyfriend fan3, are you?”

If you are, I’ll beat you to death to prevent any future trouble.
