Chapter 486: Chapter 233: Gu Wanqing’s Battle Plan
Miss Yuji Is Cute Today, Too?
Sun Jialin didn’t recognize the name at first, but Gu Wanqing, who was beside her, exclaimed in surprise.
"Yuji? The anime cosplayer?"
"Oh—!"
Hearing Gu Wanqing’s words, it dawned on Sun Jialin.
She remembered now. She seemed to recall coming across a blogger named "Is Miss Yuji Cute Today, Too?".
She was an extremely cute girl whose cosplays of various anime characters were incredibly lifelike. Her most defining feature was how busty she was.
Sun Jialin had never seen a pair of that size before, and to top it all off, the girl was very young.
That was a key reason why Yuji had stuck in her memory.
"I remember she already has over four million fans, right?"
Gu Wanqing said, astonished.
"Lin Shen, you haven’t signed her already, have you?"
"More or less. We’re discussing it right now, but it’s pretty much a done deal."
"..."
Lin Shen’s words once again swayed Sun Jialin.
’If at first she was worried the new MCN company might go under... or that it was just one of Lin Shen’s whims...’
’After all, the rich kids nowadays are so impulsive. They do whatever they want without considering whether they can see it through.’
’But now, it seemed even a major influencer with over four million fans had this much faith in Lin Shen. What reason did she have to refuse?’
Sun Jialin couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
"Shen, so your company can even sign Yuji! That’s really amazing!"
"Actually, we’re still in the contract negotiation stage."
The moment Lin Shen finished speaking, his phone buzzed with a message from Su Youji, as if on cue.
[Su Youji: Mr. Lin, my father said he wants to talk to you in person. I was wondering when you might be free?]
’Talk in person?’
Lin Shen paused for a moment, then after some brief thought, he replied.
[Lin Shen: Tomorrow afternoon.]
[Su Youji: Okay, I’ll go ask my father.]
Su Youji didn’t keep Lin Shen waiting long and quickly sent a reply.
[Su Youji: Mr. Lin, my dad agrees. He says to do it at my house. Is that okay with you?]
’Your house?’
’Is this a business meeting or a formal visit to my father-in-law?!’
The corner of Lin Shen’s mouth twitched, and he let out a helpless sigh.
[Lin Shen: Alright. Send me the address. I’ll pay a visit tomorrow.]
[Su Youji: Zhonghai Mansion·Jiuxu]
?
’Isn’t that where Aunt Shen lives?’
Lin Shen was slightly taken aback. After a moment’s thought, the corners of his mouth curved up. He found the coincidence rather amusing.
Of course, most wealthy people living in Modu would buy a villa in Zhonghai Mansion·Jiuxu.
After all, it was considered one of Modu’s more pleasant high-end residential communities.
The price wasn’t exorbitant, either. A family with assets exceeding fifty or sixty million could afford it.
’Maybe I should find a chance to buy a villa here, too.’
Lin Shen suddenly thought of the house-buying mission from ReceivePal, but the prerequisite was that he first had to find suitable opportunities to use the Dream Vehicle Card twice.
Otherwise, he’d never save up enough money.
"What’s wrong?"
Seeing that Lin Shen had been replying to messages on his phone, Jiang Wan had thoughtfully avoided disturbing him. Instead, she peeled shrimp and picked crab meat, placing it all on his plate.
Only after he finished replying did she ask in a soft voice.
"Is it something for work?"
"Sort of."
Lin Shen chuckled, popping the crab meat into his mouth with a fork.
"I got a message from Yuji. She said her dad wants to meet me at her place."
"Is that so."
Jiang Wan’s expression was filled with pleasant surprise.
"Does that mean we have a good shot at signing Yuji?"
"A very good shot."
Lin Shen’s answer made Jiang Wan’s face light up, and she began to act affectionately toward him in all sorts of ways.
Seeing this, Gu Wanqing lowered her head and quietly ate her food, an unusually lonely expression on her face.
She couldn’t help but feel that the distance between her and Lin Shen had grown.
’After all, she had no common ground with him when it came to work, and even less so in life.’
’At this rate, will Lin Shen gradually grow distant from me?’
Gu Wanqing was worried, but she had to accept the fact that was staring her in the face.
The seven-year age gap between her and Lin Shen had indeed created a divide between them.
And that divide was very likely to grow even wider!
...
At 8:00 PM, dinner was over.
Originally, Lin Shen had planned to drop Gu Wanqing and Sun Jialin off at school first, and then take Jiang Wan home.
That way, he and Jiang Wan might have had some time to be lovey-dovey in the car.
However, Jiang Wan had extremely high emotional intelligence and was very good at reading people.
Although Gu Wanqing hadn’t said anything and was acting as cute and charming as ever, Jiang Wan still noticed the dejection hidden in her expression.
After some careful thought, she figured out the reason.
’It probably has to do with Lin Shen!’
So, Jiang Wan decisively asked Lin Shen to take her home first, before dropping off Gu Wanqing and Sun Jialin.
"Why don’t you drop me off first? My place is closer, and the school is farther out."
?
Looking at Jiang Wan’s gentle smile, Lin Shen seemed to understand.
’It was a bit of a shame he wouldn’t get to be intimate with Jiang Wan, but there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.’
"Alright."
So, Lin Shen drove Jiang Wan home first.
"I’ll send you the video once the post-production editing is done."
"Okay, I’ll be counting on you then."
Jiang Wan stood at the entrance to her apartment building, watching the brilliant red taillights of the Maybach S680 disappear around the corner as she murmured softly to herself.
"Qingqing, I hope you can seize this opportunity to have a proper talk with Lin Shen."
...
"Qingqing, how’s school been lately?"
"It’s been great!"
Although she felt a little bad toward Jiang Wan, ever since she’d left, Gu Wanqing felt as if her earlier gloom had been swept away, and she was secretly overjoyed.
"College life is really great! My schedule is flexible, I can do whatever I want after class, and there’s even club recruitment this weekend!"
