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

Chapter 28 Part 2 – Is this our Fat Cat?

Gu Fuchen was quite surprised to see Jiang Huai during working hours.

“Give this to Ruan Yōu.”

Gu Fuchen took the paper and glanced at it, his brows furrowed.

Jiang Huai took a sip of coffee and said calmly, “Ruan Yōu agreed to let me join her investment plan, which means that your sister will be one of my employees in the future.”

Gu Fuchen: ??

Jiang Huai smirked in satisfaction, “I support your sister’s career, but if we lose money, remember to compensate me.”

Gu Fuchen: “Get out of here!”

Jiang Huai sat in Gu Fuchen’s panoramic office, enjoying the magnificent view that always put him in a good mood. He felt more relaxed now.

Gu Fuchen stared at the two hundred million yuan check and felt a sense of anxiety building up inside him.

Wuwuwu, my stupid sister, why did she become someone else’s employee like a fool?

She doesn’t even like money, most likely she’s too embarrassed to refuse. Ultimately, it’s all Jiang Huai’s fault, taking advantage of Ruanruan’s innocence and kindness!!

“Finish your drink and get out of here.” Gu Fuchen didn’t like looking at Jiang Huai now.

But Jiang Huai wasn’t bothered. Last time Gu Fuchen played a game, he got a discounted piece of land that he sold to the government for an extra one hundred million yuan.

His private account had some extra money in it again.

Jiang Huai took another sip of coffee and noticed Gu Fuchen still staring at the money. He stood up and sat across from him, “Has your sister called you ‘big brother’ yet?”

He and Ruan Yōu attended two investment classes together. Jiang Huai saw how they interacted, and although Gu Fuchen didn’t say anything, he was probably a little bit upset.

You can’t keep your emotions bottled up like this, it doesn’t feel good.

Gu Fuchen was embarrassed to bring it up to anyone else, but as a good friend, Jiang Huai had the obligation to help him relieve his emotions. Besides, Brother Chenchen had earned him one hundred million yuan, and Chenchen’s sister was his employee, so to speak. In any case, they were both his “little cash cows”, and he had to be good to them.

Gu Fuchen’s eyes changed slightly, and he folded the banknotes and put them in his inner pocket, murmuring a “yeah.”

“Why don’t you bring it up to her?” Jiang Huai suggested. “You’ve been so good to her lately. If you mention it, she’ll definitely call you ‘big brother’.”

Gu Fuchen replied, “She’ll call me that eventually.”

He just wasn’t ready for her to accept it completely. He didn’t want to use his “feelings” to pressure her.

He didn’t want his sister to call him ‘big brother’ because “Big brother is very good to me, and if he brings it up, it might not be good if I don’t do it.”

He didn’t want Ruan Yōu to be conflicted, even a little bit.

His sister should be the happiest and most carefree person in the world. This was the mission he set for himself after Ruan Yōu disappeared.

As for whether or not to call him ‘big brother’, it doesn’t matter.

Ruanruan can call him whatever she wants.

Jiang Huai took another sip of coffee. “She has become more natural around you.”

Gu Fuchen nodded with a hint of pride. “Last time she made me laugh!”

“Just one time and you’re already so happy?” Jiang Huai chuckled. “If she calls you ‘big brother’ from now on, I’ll treat you to a celebration worth 50 yuan.”

Gu Fuchen said seriously, “No, the money I earn is for Ruanruan to spend.”

There are still many places to spend money on my sister.

Saving 50 yuan is still saving 50 yuan.

Jiang Huai: …

“You are really stingy.”

“Compared to you, I can be considered generous. Do you need to examine yourself?”

Jiang Huai didn’t want to argue with him anymore, so he went back to the company to make big money.

After Jiang Huai left, Gu Fuchen took out a two hundred million yuan check, feeling heavy-hearted.

Ruan Yōu and Lu Xuan worked together to invest and spent money every day. At first, Gu Fuchen was very happy. His sister not only made new friends but also gained confidence in investing, and her aversion to money became lighter.

Everything was moving in a good direction.

However, Gu Fuchen’s happiness disappeared when he learned that Ruan Yōu and Lu Xuan had an investment advisor, who was the initial user Ruan Yōu had mentioned before.

Jealousy made him unrecognizable.

As the President of Bozhan Group, his leadership, investment vision, and ability to control the overall situation are all stronger than that inexperienced initial user.

Why should his sister choose it as an investment advisor instead of him?

This is not logical.

He felt that Ruan Yōu still had a long way to go in the investment field, so Gu Fuchen became alert. He searched for several articles that praised him as a business legend and sent them to Song Wen on WeChat.

【Share these on your WeChat Moments.】

Song Wen: ?

【You added Ruanruan on WeChat, right? She liked and commented on your post and told me about it.】

Song Wen: … Understood.

Shared it just to show it to Miss Ruan Yōu.

This guy is really amazing.

In order to maintain the boss’s image as a domineering president who doesn’t care about worldly affairs, Song Wen sadly forwarded eight articles praising Gu Fuchen.

. . . . .

Ruan Yōu didn’t disappoint Gu Fuchen; she happened to be browsing Song Wen’s Moments.

After hanging up the phone with Jiang Huai, Ruan Yōu asked Xia Shi to find out who was actually financing the elderly care company. At the same time, she discovered a very important problem.

It seemed like her company was getting bigger and bigger…

There was an e-sports team, the entertainment company her brother arranged for her to visit at the economic conference last time, and now an elderly care company. Each company had a considerable scale.

The entertainment company was not something she needed to handle for now.

Xia Shi was in charge of the team, the new elderly care company, and the occasional investment project ‘You Xuan’. It was apparent that Xia Shi and her assistant were overwhelmed.

Ruan Yōu didn’t have a habit of squeezing her employees, so she instructed Xia Shi to start recruiting.

To be honest, if a few more companies came along, her business chain would spread across all industries in the country, and the number of assistants would trend toward Gu Fuchen’s proximity.

Unknowingly, she was about to become the type of person she feared the most — the heiress?

Ruan Yōu quickly stopped herself and asked Xia Shi to remind her that if she wanted to buy a company next time, she must try to persuade herself to give up the idea.

The company was small now and she didn’t have to handle everything. But when the empire was established, things would definitely not develop as she had imagined.

No, she absolutely couldn’t build her own business empire!

This was the first principle of her retirement life as a “salted fish.”

Hiring a capable assistant is a top priority.

Ruan Yōu only knew one special assistant, Song Wen. She went to browse his social media to see if he had posted any messages about introducing friends or anything like that.

After searching around, she didn’t find anything, but unexpectedly came across eight articles on a public account praising Gu Fuchen.

Ruan Yōu was completely stunned.

He really loves his boss!

It’s rare to see a special assistant who regards their boss as an idol nowadays.

It’s necessary to help her brother to keep this loyal and dedicated special assistant.

Ruan Yōu was also bored, so she read all eight articles without missing a single word. Her admiration for Gu Fuchen reached its peak, and she didn’t forget to give Song Wen a like to express her praise for his loyalty to Gu Fuchen.

We absolutely cannot let my brother lose such a loyal right-hand man like Song Wen!

After making a small contribution to her brother’s career path, Ruan Yōu was in a good mood. She washed up, had breakfast, and began her busy day.

Today, she will be attending C brand’s 110th anniversary autumn and winter haute couture fashion show with Lu Xuan, Qi Zhiyan, and Wen Juxi.

She has to pick out dresses, jewelry, accessories, as well as hair and makeup.

The designers, costume designers, and stylists are waiting for her in the 7th floor reception room.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, she received a WeChat message as she was heading to the fashion show.

【G: After it’s over tonight, I’ll come with you back home.】

【Fat Cat: OKOK, I’ll be done by 7 pm~】

【G: Alright.】

The haute couture dress that Ruan Yōu is wearing is a classic little black dress from C brand’s collection thirty years ago. This kind of dress is usually kept in C brand’s tailor shop, displayed in the closet like an antique collectible. It is not shown to anyone casually, and if someone wants to see this dress, they can only do so through C brand’s handbook from years ago or information circulating online.

To show their respect for the Gu family, C brand specially air shipped this decades-old haute couture dress, along with five others, for Ruan Yōu to choose from.

Ruan Yōu immediately fell in love with this one.

It is an elegantly simple classic little black dress, with three strands of pearl necklaces around the neck and a vintage-style waistline.

Despite being a dress for autumn and winter, it is not cold to wear.

She hardly ever has to wear a coat because there is heating everywhere she goes.

There is a row of luxury cars parked at the entrance of the fashion show, with spotlights shining constantly beside them.

The fashion show is being held in a century-old castle, surrounded by an iron fence that keeps the reporters at bay.

It started to drizzle outside at an unknown time, and the view outside the window became hazy.

Ruan Yōu, feeling bored, played with a black wide-brimmed hat. The wavy contour and slightly drooping edge of the wide-brimmed hat were classical, exquisite, and elegant, matching well with today’s little black dress.

A small delicate pearl was adorned on the wide-brimmed hat, adding some liveliness and interest.

The car slowly entered the castle, with a red carpet laid out inside. The socialites in front of her, perhaps acquaintances, got off and walked side by side inside the castle.

The red carpet was not very long, about fifteen meters.

Ruan Yōu put on her coat and got off the car with the wide-brimmed hat in hand.

The accompanying bodyguard got off the car behind her and quickly opened an umbrella for her. Just as Ruan Yōu was about to walk inside, Wei Wen timely stepped forward and said, “Miss, Miss Qi has arrived.”

Qi Zhiyan got off the car and nodded faintly after seeing Ruan Yōu.

“Together?” she asked, her voice cold.

Ruan Yōu nodded repeatedly.

Qi Zhiyan was not wearing a suit today, and like Ruan Yōu, she was wearing an evening gown. It was unclear what style it was, as she wore a coat over it. However, no matter what clothes she wore, they would exude the confident aura of “big sister is cool” when on her.

As Qi Zhiyan walked towards Ruan Yōu, there was suddenly a commotion behind her.

“Yu Chi, look over here!”

Ruan Yōu subconsciously looked over upon hearing the name.

Many female celebrities were invited to tonight’s event, and Yu Chi was one of them. There were three actresses with even greater fame than her.

Yu Chi wore a coat in an earthy tone and got off the car gracefully without paying attention to the reporters stationed outside. The entertainment journalists immediately uploaded pictures of her online.

Ruan Yōu held her wide-brimmed hat tightly in her hand.

She remembered in the novel, Yu Chi wore a backless evening gown to an event and became a hot topic with her charming appearance. She was wearing clothes from the C brand, and the gift she received made her the brand ambassador, bringing her even more success in the entertainment industry.

However, Ruan Yōu knew that Yu Chi’s success in the entertainment industry was ultimately to prove herself to her parents and to use public opinion to pressure her parents to involve her in the inheritance battle.

After retiring from the industry, Yu Chi’s alluring red carpet journey with the backless gown was often mocked by her elder brother and mother, who disliked the entertainment industry. They believed that she had lost the dignity of their family by smiling and greeting reporters in the freezing weather.

A true lady would never compete for the spotlight.

Therefore, Yu Chi also became aware of the novel’s consciousness.

“What’s wrong?” Qi Zhiyan suddenly asked.

Ruan Yōu withdrew her gaze and shook her head. “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”

Qi Zhiyan pointed her chin behind her. “We can’t leave yet. Your little sister, Lu Xuan, is here.”

Ruan Yōu used her hat to partially cover her face and turned to look outside. The spotlight flashed for a moment, and Wei Wen frowned as she looked over.

A reporter climbed over the iron fence on the side where there weren’t many people and took advantage of the loophole.

From this angle, he should have taken a side view of Ruan Yōu.

Wei Wen said urgently, “Miss, I’ll take care of it right away.”

Ruan Yōu nodded.

She wasn’t worried. Today, her appearance was completely different from her previous style in the entertainment industry, and she was wearing makeup with a lot of highlighter, making her three-dimensional profile stand out even more.

She was different from her previous self.

Lu Xuan smiled as she came over with Xia Yuan.

She knew there were other people present, and politely greeted them without calling out Ruan Yōu’s name, saying, “Hello, Sister Gu and Sister Qi.”

Xia Yuan was taken aback and looked at the long-coated “Sister Gu.”

“So you are the one from the Gu family?” Xia Yuan was surprised. It was rumored in the industry that Miss Gu had returned home and that the online persona Fat Cat was likely her.

Most of the elite women did not hold her in high regard due to her “nouveau riche” ways of blindly spending money like an uncultured poor person. Being in the same wealthy family as such a person made the self-proclaimed elegant ladies a little unhappy.

It was not that they hated her, but they were a bit curious to see Fat Cat make a fool of herself.

Xia Yuan was one of those people.

She had heard that Miss Gu would be attending a brand event, so she had specially gone to find Lu Xuan and come with her today.

Lu Jin, the older brother of Lu Xuan, has such a good relationship with Gu Fuchen. Lu Xuan should have seen Miss Gu a few times more or less. Xia Yuan knew that she could only catch a glimpse of Miss Gu’s appearance before the fashion show began. After entering the show, Qi Zhiyan, Lu Xuan, Miss Gu, and Wen Juxi would be invited to the VIP lounge.

Although everyone who came today had status, there was still a difference between wealthy families and top wealthy families. In this circle of wealthy families, there were also upper and lower levels, and these four were undoubtedly the top-tier socialites.

But how could Fat Cat, who spends extravagantly and has weird and abnormal thoughts, be in the same class as the other three?

Xia Yuan tried to approach Miss Gu from a different angle to get a clear look at her face. Ruan Yōu tilted her head and lowered her hat, “Miss Gu, let’s be friends. My name is Xia Yuan.”

Ruan Yōu didn’t want to deal with her, shaking her hand and walking away, expressing her silent and blunt rejection.
