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

Chapter 25 Part 2 – “Hello Ruan Yōu, I’m Lu Jin.”

Ruan Yōu took a bath, changed into her pajamas, and sat at her desk to write in her journal.

The diary is a simple black style, with pure black pages that require a white pen to write on.

November 14th.

She wrote the date first and paused for a moment.

She didn’t know what to write, and tthere’s no logical flow between the lines or within the words. She just wrote down whatever came to mind.

【Gu Zexi is a young master who likes e-sports. He is well-behaved and is completely different from Lu Ming’s cousin. Lu Ming always says that having a little brother is a disaster, and having a little brother when he grows up is a huge disaster. The stinky little brother does nothing but ask his cousin for money. Gu Zexi is well-educated, so I don’t have this worry.】

【After returning home, I rode my bike. At first, the wind was a bit cold, but soon I felt happy. Mom and Dad are lovely people, but they seem busy and their complexion doesn’t look good, especially Dad. He seems to have lost weight.】

【My brother inexplicably asked me to invest my money in the elderly care industry. It’s very strange, but I did it anyway.】

Ruan Yōu stared at the last sentence.

This should be considered unconditional trust, or willingness without conditions.

Ruan Yōu tossed the miscellaneous items aside, locked the diary, and put it back on the bookshelf.

She tried to sleep for a while but couldn’t, so she opened the large screen and watched a drama.

. . . . .

The lights on the seventh floor flickered, but the bedroom on the sixth floor was brightly lit.

Gu Fuchen locked the door to the bedroom and sat at the desk, opening the cardboard box that Song Wen had sent half an hour ago.

Inside were various doll dress-up games for playing house.

In the morning, Gu Fuchen was moved by Ruan Yōu’s outfit when they had breakfast together, and developed a strange interest in dressing up his little sister.

He wanted to prove to Ruan Liuyu with practical action that even delicate boys could play with dolls and dress them up.

Gu Fuchen was very disappointed.

These dolls were not good-looking.

Their eyelashes were black and long, and they all looked the same.

Gu Fuchen furrowed his brows and put the dolls back into the cardboard box, asking Song Wen to deal with them tomorrow.

However, he didn’t give up and randomly searched online for some dress-up games and related items.

As he was searching, he stumbled upon a piece of news related to “Cotton Dolls,” which was explained quite vaguely.

After reading it, he messaged Song Wen:【Ask Gu Zexi what a Cotton Dolls is.】

Upon receiving the message, Song Wen let out a long sigh.

This sister fanatic is going to play again.

Song Wen’s younger sister is eighteen years old and also a fan of celebrities. Under the influence of his younger sister, Song Wen has a slight understanding of what “cotton dolls” are. In general, they are miniature versions of celebrity dolls with a height of about 10-20 centimeters, and are a type of merchandise. They can be dressed in different types of cute clothes.

The fact that this sister fanatic asked this question implies a clear meaning that even someone who doesn’t use their brain can understand. The problem is: why doesn’t he ask himself?

His image in front of Gu Zexi had already collapsed during the promotional class the other day, but the CEO still wanted to maintain his dominant persona. He really felt like crying.

Song Wen sent the message to Gu Zexi, feeling utterly hopeless.

Gu Zexi’s response was almost identical to his understanding, but he asked one more question.

【Do you also chase celebrities?】

Gu Fuchen went to great lengths to maintain his aloof and overbearing persona, so naturally Song Wen had to uphold his boss’s reputation. He sighed and replied, 【My younger sister is a star chaser, so could you please help us out?】

【No problem】

Song Wen sent a screenshot of their conversation to Gu Fuchen.

Three minutes later, he received a message that was not entirely unexpected.

【Tomorrow at noon, I want to see Ruan Yōu’s cotton doll.】

【Okay,】 replied Song Wen.

【If there’s anything else, handle it yourself. I have important business to attend to, so don’t bother me with messages.】

It was already 11:53, and the boss was still working at this late hour?

Suddenly, Song Wen felt embarrassed. Perhaps he had misunderstood Mr. Gu.

It was this late at night, and he was probably going to attend some international video conference.

Song Wen checked Gu Fuchen’s schedule for today and the coming days but didn’t find any related events.

Immediately, Song Wen opened his computer and checked the schedule for the past few days. The project related to the international video conference had already been completed with no omissions.

As he delved deeper into his search, his expression became increasingly solemn.

Even he had deliberately concealed it. Could it be that Mr. Gu was plotting something big?!

Mr. Gu still had work on his mind!

At 11:55 pm, the lights in countless households were extinguished, and the city’s corners were quiet, with numerous people sleeping soundly.

Ruan Yōu’s Weibo fan club is exceptionally lively.

The fourth “Sign-in First” competition is heating up.

The first post in the fan club is:

【If you happen to pass by, don’t miss out. Sisters, don’t check-in later. Let’s leave the competition to those two and give them the stage.】

【Hahaha, I’ve been waiting for tonight’s competition all day. I’m bored, so I’ll go first.】

【Our fan club has never been this lively before.】

【I’m laughing so hard. If other fans saw a group of people staying up late for a sign-in competition, would they call us crazy?】

【They don’t understand. This is the only entertainment activity in Ruan Yōu’s fan club.】

【Yes, yes, yes. If we don’t have new materials, can’t we organize a competition and team building?】

【Checking-in first is very important. Today is the final round to decide who is the “Ruan Yōu’s first true male fan.” Don’t ask me why we can hold this final, because in the fan club, only The Only Brother and Star are the two active male fans.】

【If we were to hold “Ruan Yōu’s first true male fan”, it might be a little difficult (dog head emoji)】

. . . . .

As they chatted, the time came to 11:59.

Gu Fuchen stared at the seconds behind the minutes on his computer: 12, 13…

The screen on his phone had entered the fan page, and the check-in button in the upper right corner was grayed out. It would instantly light up when a new day arrived.

Gu Fuchen’s goal was to click the check-in button before Lu Jin.

Lu Jin is the Star, and he also knew Gu Fuchen’s identity. So, when he found out that Ruan Yōu was the missing daughter of the Gu family two nights ago, he was half shocked and half trying to please Gu Fuchen, and he gave up on the check-in competition that night.

25, 26…

After several days of check-in competitions, Gu Fuchen had already mastered the skills perfectly. When he thought of “2” in his mind, that second had already passed.

Therefore, he only needed to press the button at the moment when he thought of “5” in his mind, when “58” appeared on the screen.

Gu Fuchen is aware that he is not only facing Lu Jin, but also a bunch of fans who are competing for first place in various sign-in competition.

It’s more challenging for him to take first place among hundreds of competitors than his first meeting with shareholders and executives after inheriting Bozhan Group.

【Help, why am I, an outsider, so nervous?】

【Hey, passerby who accidentally clicked in, what are you guys nervous about? This fan club is so active.】

【We are hosting the fourth sign-in competition for first place.】

【??? What on earth is this?】

【Unknown fans or passersby who are watching now: Wow, why are Ruan Yōu’s fans so playful? Do they really need to hold a competition for first place in sign-ins?】

【Our honorary medal is “Ruan Yōu’s first true male fan”, the supreme honor!】

【Now it’s like playing “Chicken Dinner”1 “Chicken Dinner” is a popular slang term used in the video game “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” (PUBG). It refers to the ultimate goal of the game, which is to be the last player or team standing and win the game. When a player or team wins the game, the game displays a message saying “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner”. The term has since become a catchphrase among PUBG players and gaming enthusiasts. and entering the finals, with 98 people outside watching the two solo players in the finals.】

【Hahaha you guys are really funny.】

. . . . .

Yōuyōu fans are feeling bitter in their hearts.

Other fan groups can share and upload new photos and videos of their idols, but Yōuyōu fans have already watched all of Yōuyōu’s public activities before she retired from the entertainment industry, and they are still watching them even though they have become too familiar with them.

As time passed without anything new, it became inevitably boring.

Thus, the sudden check-in competition between The Only Brother and Star became a self-entertaining topic for them.

56…57…

Gu Fuchen lightly touched the screen with his fingertips, then pulled back slightly, keeping a distance of less than a millimeter from the screen.

58…5

Gu Fuchen quickly pressed the check-in button, and a white-orange dialogue box appeared on the main page with The Only Brother profile picture and clear text below.

【4-day consecutive check-in】

The slightly smaller gray text reads: 【Ranked 1st today.】

Gu Fuchen: !!!

Immediately takes a screenshot and posts it on his fan page.

Not long after, Star sent him a private message:

【Gu Chenchen, go ahead and show off. If you fall from grace one day, all the girls who call you “National Husband” will be heartbroken. The CEO they used to admire turns out to be a childish ghost.】

【Did you not participate in the check-in competition?】

【I have nothing to be proud of.】

【Because you don’t have the qualifications to show off.】

【Gu Chenchen!! I definitely won’t lose to you tomorrow.】

【It’s too late, the young host has already awarded me the honor of being “Ruan Yōu’s first true male fan.”】

【…Don’t come to the investment class tomorrow, let Yōuyōu come alone!】

【Ha.】

Gu Fuchen turned his head and replied to the young host under the post: 【Thank you.】

Lu Jin was jealous beyond recognition.
