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

Chapter 26 Part 1 – “Crazy-style Publicity” redefines “Small and Insignificant Variety Show”

Lu Jin has even thought about dying.

Gu Fuchen didn’t want Lu Jin to try to get attention in front of Ruanruan, so he took Ruanruan and walked towards Fu Jiazhan, Jiang Huai, and Qi Zhiyan’s direction.

As Ruan Yōu gaze slowly moved away from Lu Jin, Ruan Yōu changed into slippers and followed Gu Fuchen.

Fu Jiazhan, Jiang Huai, Qi Zhiyan, Wen Juxi, and Lu Xuan, their eyes passed over Gu Fuchen and fell on Ruan Yōu behind him.

There was a hint of curiosity in Wen Juxi’s gaze.

Gu Fuchen didn’t want Ruanruan to be too nervous, so he signaled to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan understood in an instant and took two steps forward, boldly approaching Ruan Yōu’s ear. Her voice was small, but her words were sweet: “Sister, my name is Lu Xuan. We are both so good-looking, we must have many common topics.”

Ruan Yōu: ?

Not necessarily… right?

After just 30 seconds of meeting, Lu Xuan had already regarded Ruan Yōu as a good sister in the group. Her voice was a little louder as she said, “Sister Yōuyōu, the one wearing the black suit is Qi Zhiyan.”

Ruan Yōu subconsciously looked over.

Qi Zhiyan stood on the far left.

The black suit, the wine-red lapels were both stylish and elegant, and her slightly curled short hair fell on her shoulders, clean and neat.

On the first floor of the villa, there was a seven-meter-high floor-to-ceiling window on the side facing the courtyard. The curtains were not closed, and Qi Zhiyan stood in front of the window, her face reflected in the glass.

Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s introduction, Qi Zhiyan raised her eyebrows unconsciously.

With a slightly lazy expression in her raised eyebrows, Qi Zhiyan’s gaze met Ruan Yōu’s and she lightly nodded her chin in greeting.

Lu Xuan covered her mouth and whispered to Ruan Yōu, “This sister is very cool. I still don’t dare to talk to her proactively.”

Of course, even if she did, there was no guarantee she would be acknowledged.

Qi Zhiyan would stand at the door to greet Ruan Yōu, purely out of courtesy between inheritors.

As an inheritor, she was flawless and perfect.

Qi Zhiyan: “Lu Xuan, what are you tattling about now?”

Her voice was clear and cold, like the “tick, tick, tick, tick” sound of raindrops falling on the ground in the woods.

Lu Xuan instinctively hid behind Ruan Yōu and stuck her head out to explain, “I’m just telling the truth.”

As their conversation continued, Lu Xuan began to feel that she was making sense. She stood tall and confidently refuted, “I’m telling Sister Yōuyōu the truth, who would stoop so low as to tattle?”

However, Qi Zhiyan did not respond to her, giving her a cold look and leaving her to feel the weight of her own words.

Ruan Yōu had a particular fondness for aloof beauties, something she knew she could never be.

She took another quick glance, but was caught by Qi Zhiyan. She tried to play it cool by quickly retracting her gaze and continuing to listen to Lu Xuan’s explanations.

Big sister is so cool.

“The one in the orange sweater is Wen Juxi,” said Lu Xuan.

Wen Juxi reached out a friendly hand.

“On the far right is Fu Jiazhan. Next to him is Jiang Huai. And the one standing at the entrance lost in thought is my brother, Lu Jin,” she continued to explain.

Ruan Yōu remembered Jiang Huai, who left a deep impression on her.

He was a down-to-earth CEO who didn’t even buy skins while playing games.

Ruan Yōu nodded to everyone in greeting.

Gu Fuchen raised his wrist to check the time, “It’s time, let’s go up.”

Turning to Ruanruan, he said, “Today we have an investor from the film and television industry sharing their experience.”

He brought Ruanruan here for two reasons: to build her confidence and to make it easier for her to enter social circles by getting to know and becoming familiar with Qi Zhiyan, Lu Xuan, Wen Juxi.

Objective two could be achieved by coming here a few more times, but objective one required more attention.

Considering his sister’s previous job, Gu Fuchen specially asked Lu Jin to arrange for investors in the film and television industry.

Suddenly, Ruan Yōu thought of Cheng Xin whom she met at the economic conference yesterday.

Can it be such a coincidence?

Ruan Yōu was led up the revolving staircase by Lu Xuan while hiding something in her heart, completely forgetting that Lu Jin was still petrified in the entrance hall.

Lu Xuan also forgot about her brother.

Like Ruan Yōu, this was her first time attending an investment class, and everything new around her could always pique her curiosity.

After Gu Fuchen, Ruan Yōu, Lu Xuan, Qi Zhiyan, and Wen Juxi went up, Jiang Huai and Fu Jiazhan walked over to Lu Jin.

Jiang Huai patted his shoulder and held back his laughter, “It’s just walk with the same hand and foot, nothing to be ashamed of.”

Jiang Huai glanced towards the empty staircase, leaned over to Lu Jin, and gossiped in a low voice, “Is Ruan Yōu your favorite female celebrity?”

Lu Jin had been saying that his idol was the best in the world a few days ago, but now seeing him nervous and clumsy around Ruan Yōu, it was inevitable to arouse suspicion.

Fu Jiazhan also mentioned that Ruan Yōu was a former celebrity in the entertainment industry who recently retired. Moreover, Gu Fuchen’s evaluation of his sister was that she was a noble and money-averse living bodhisattva, and Lu Jin had a similar evaluation of his idol, such as not competing for fame or profit.

Upon careful consideration, the answer was clear.

Lu Jin felt as if his heart had turned to ashes and he had no strength to speak.

How could his sister be such a pitfall for him?1 Referring to the previous chapter, when Lu Xuan teased his brother because he walked with the same hand and foot instead of just nodding silently.

Fu Jiazhan looked at Lu Jin thoughtfully, then went upstairs first and said, “Let’s go.”

Jiang Huai comfortingly patted Lu Jin’s shoulder and couldn’t help but laugh: “Are you planning to stay down here all night and be a door god? You’ve already embarrassed yourself before.”

Lu Jin weakly argued, “It’s not the same.”

First impressions are important.

But he had just shown an extremely awkward side in front of Ruan Yōu, and she was bound to have a lasting impression. No matter how he behaved in the future, he would still be known as clumsy and awkward.

Just thinking about it was despairing.

“Let’s go up.” Jiang Huai pulled him up.

Lu Jin ascended the stairs like a zombie.

To the second floor.

The class location is in the study.

The study has a large conference table lying horizontally in front of a big screen, facing the front of the study. It doesn’t seem like a class, but rather like investors coming to apply for a job, or to report their work to the business owners.

For several heirs of top wealthy families, the weekly private class can only be considered as an experience exchange between investors and heirs, without the idea of imparting knowledge.

Gu Fuchen and the others generally do not absent themselves unless there is a major event.

Regardless of whether the investing person who comes to share involves a familiar field or industry, everyone will listen and understand the news of other industries. You never know when the company might expand into that field.

Ruan Yōu picked a seat by the window.

The location is in the corner, where she can slightly turn her head to see the stars outside.

Gu Fuchen pursed his lips slightly.

That seat has been unoccupied all along.

His sister is indeed lacking in confidence, always choosing seats in inconspicuous corners where others cannot see her.

Gu Fuchen was determined to help his sister build her self-confidence as soon as possible, and the matter of the elderly care industry must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Gu Fuchen naturally sat next to Ruan Yōu.

Lu Xuan went out to take a call just now. When she came back, she saw someone sitting next to Ruan Yōu and stared at Gu Fuchen in surprise.

Lu Xuan’s attitude towards Ruan Yōu now is like when two new students attend a tutorial class together and have a heart-to-heart. Both she and Ruan Yōu are novices in the investment class, and of course, they should sit together and communicate more.

In Lu Xuan’s eyes, Ruan Yōu, like her, is a newcomer to the investment industry, and may even be less knowledgeable than her.

Ruan Yōu has been in the entertainment industry for three years, and she (Lu Xuan) has learned something from following her brother since childhood. No matter how you think about it, she should know more than Ruan Yōu.

This way, she should sit next to Ruan Yōu.

If there are any questions that Ruan Yōu doesn’t know, she can ask her.

Don’t hesitate to ask, the experience of someone who has been through it is valuable.

If you ask Gu Fuchen or Fu Jiazhan, the answers you get will be even more difficult to understand than the question itself.

When she was a child, she went to Gu Fuchen’s house with Lu Jin to do homework. They couldn’t solve a problem, and even her brother couldn’t help. Finally, they had to seek help from Gu Fuchen.

A seemingly simple equation had five different solution methods given to her by Gu Fuchen. After listening to them, she was completely unable to solve the problem that she had previously been able to solve with a little effort.

Although Ruan Yōu is only half a year older than her, Lu Xuan has been in the wealthy family for a long time and everyone there knows her. Ruan Yōu is new here and nobody knows her. Just now, Gu Fuchen even signaled for her to introduce Ruan Yōu.

Lu Xuan noticed that Ruan Yōu was sitting in the farthest corner, affirming herself with a nod of her head.

Her judgment is absolutely correct.

Ruan Yōu didn’t know how to communicate with those strange bosses and arrogant sisters, so she deliberately chose a place that no one would notice.

Lu Xuan suddenly realized this and stood there with a proud feeling of “I am the only one awake in a drunken world”.

She saw through Sister Yōuyōu’s truest side!

Lu Xuan stared at Gu Fuchen, with a burning gaze that not only the parties involved could feel, but also Ruan Yōu who was thinking with her head down noticed the gaze coming from behind her.

Ruan Yōu and Gu Fuchen turned their heads at the same time.

Lu Xuan still stared at Gu Fuchen, her round eyes bulging like copper bells. If she participated in a staring contest, Lu Xuan would definitely not lose now.

Ruan Yōu looked at Gu Fuchen, pursed her lips, and asked a little harshly, “Did you bully her?”

Her first impression of Lu Xuan was very good.

If the cute little princess was so angry, there must be a reason.

Gu Fuchen: ?

“No, I didn’t,” he replied.

She’s trying to frame him!

Gu Fuchen felt wronged, but he didn’t say anything.

When Gu Fuchen felt Lu Xuan’s burning gaze, he vaguely sensed what she wanted, but he pretended not to notice and sat firmly next to Ruan Yōu.

Joke.

Of course, siblings should sit together.

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but speak up, “Sister Yōuyōu, your brother took my seat.”

Gu Fuchen: ?

“We came up together, so of course we should sit together.”

During their university days, girlfriends would hold hands and sit together in the classroom.

It was an unwritten rule between girlfriends.

The boys didn’t understand, but Ruan Yōu got it.

Ruan Yōu instinctively looked at Gu Fuchen.

Gu Fuchen felt so wronged.

But he wouldn’t be so childish as to compete with his friend’s sister for a seat in front of his sister and others.

He gave a faint glance at Lu Xuan and “suddenly realized” and said, “So you wanted to sit here.”

With that, Gu Fuchen “casually” got up and sat next to Fu Jiazhan.

Lu Xuan happily placed her bag on the seat and took out a pink pen, a pink clipboard with a few sheets of A4 paper clipped on it for note-taking.

Then she took out a pink slim notebook and some pink sticky notes.

After arranging all her study materials, Lu Xuan smiled brightly at Ruan Yōu.

— Look, she’s fully prepared. If you don’t understand anything, remember to ask her.

Ruan Yōu internally sighed a little.

The little princess takes private lessons seriously too.

All of them are study nerds.

Lu Xuan noticed that Ruan Yōu’s study materials were not complete enough, so she tore her own pink sticky note in half and gave it to her.

Ruan Yōu held the sticky note with confusion in her almond-shaped eyes.

Lu Xuan leaned in to her side and whispered, “It’s for passing notes during class.”

Ruan Yōu: ?

She withdrew her earlier statement and said thank you.

The little princess was here to experience high school classes.

Lu Xuan saw her looking shocked and realized what had happened. She took the sticky note from Ruan Yōu’s hand and put it back into the bag along with half of her own.

Ruan Yōu: ?

Did the little princess reform herself?

The next second, Lu Xuan leaned in mysteriously and whispered, “You’re right. It’s not a good idea to pass notes during the first class. Let’s do it next class.”

Ruan Yōu: …

When did she say that!

Where!

It was all Lu Xuan’s true thoughts.
