☆, Chapter 81: Wealth Soars

Gu's father was originally estimated to be worth several billion, but after recently learning about the financial situation of Gu Qiu Group, it was discovered that the inheritance he inherited was only valued at around 2 billion, and the shares received by others were even less.

Of course, this is wealth that ordinary people cannot earn in several lifetimes, and it is also enough for those people to live the rest of their lives without worries about food and clothing.

But compared to the wealth accumulated by Gu's father, it is really a drop in the bucket and far from enough.

Therefore, even if all the inheritance was given to Gu Ran, it would not seem too biased compared to the Gu family's property.

Gu Qiu Group, the name was originally formed by combining Mr. Gu’s surname and Ruan Qiu’s name. It is a husband-and-wife business, which originally had a good meaning.

But after Mr. Gu frequently cheated on his wife and frequently brought other wives home, it became a kind of irony.

Father Gu didn't want to interfere in Gu Qiu's company's business at all.

These two reasons are very sufficient as excuses, and even come from the heart.

Gu Ran naturally didn't notice anything wrong.

only…

[What a sudden beauty!]

[This is a piece of cake!]

[I haven’t even worked hard yet, and I’ve already become a billionaire?]

[For a moment, I really couldn't grasp the transition of this identity. It didn't feel real at all.]

[I feel lightheaded and dizzy...]

[Hold your composure! Gu Ran, you won't just be the daughter of the Gu family from now on. You'll also be a wealthy woman with a net worth of two billion!]

[All those dreams and fantasies I had before now have a chance to come true!]

[Oh, so exciting!]

[Keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!]

[Wait, I remember in the original novel, Mr. Gu's wealth seemed to shrink very quickly?]

[Not long after his death, the group's stock price plummeted, and it was severely damaged by a rival company. None of his children were capable of anything, and they were punished by the board of directors, who plundered a lot of their money.]

[Also, Gu Qiu didn't make much progress in the future. He was almost bankrupt at the end. The shares of this company will probably not be worth that much soon.]

[No, I have to sell off all the inheritance I can before the stock price plummets. I'll use the money to invest later. Who knows, I might soon overtake Grandpa Bai and become the richest man in City A, hahaha!]

Gu Ran rubbed his hands excitedly.

Father and Mother Gu looked at each other and felt more and more that this decision was correct.

It turns out these legacies will soon be diminished.

A sharp drop in stock prices is no joke. Stocks worth tens of billions can drop to hundreds of millions in an instant.

It seems that these inheritances will be more effective in Gu Ran's hands.

…

It took a whole morning to transfer all the inheritance, and Gu Ran officially upgraded from a multi-millionaire to a billionaire.

Next, she spent several days looking for an agent to sell all the stocks that were destined to depreciate, leaving only some real estate that would not depreciate.

After doing all this, Gu Ran called Bai Yifan and invited him to dinner.

In the past, Bai Yifan always took her out to play, and this time, Gu Ran could finally treat Bai Yifan to it to celebrate her skyrocketing assets.

The two met at a Western restaurant.

Gu Ran chose the most famous one in City A, and her spending was well worth her current wealth.

Feeling that Bai Yifan was very busy recently, Gu Ran made an appointment for 8 o'clock in the evening.

In the evening, the two arrived at the restaurant on time, but just after they sat down, they were greeted by an uninvited guest.

"Yifan, what a coincidence, are you also here to have dinner with your friends?"

Zhou Qiong came in from the main gate and followed the waiter's instructions. Suddenly, she noticed Bai Yifan and walked over there.

Gu Ran was sitting with her back to the door, so Zhou Qiong didn't recognize her and thought she was one of Bai Yifan's friends or colleagues.

Gu Ran turned around when he heard the voice and looked at Zhou Qiong, who looked familiar. He quickly remembered that she was the fake rich girl he had met in the villa.

Zhou Qiong also recognized her instantly and was slightly surprised, "Gu Ran..."

"Ms. Zhou." Gu Ran nodded.

She didn't have a very deep impression of Zhou Qiong.

Zhou Qiong had a much deeper impression of her. After all, there were very few people of the opposite sex that Bai Yifan was close to, and Gu Ran was a very prominent one.

When they were at the villa, it was obvious that Bai Yifan was protecting Gu Ran.

Now that they are having a candlelight dinner in such a restaurant, it is hard not to wonder about the relationship between the two.

Zhou Qiong pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.

It's not that she hasn't taken the initiative to ask Bai Yifan out, but she was politely rejected every time, and there was no chance for them to dine together.

"Yifan, aren't you busy lately? I've met you twice now, and you've finally learned to take some time off and relax?"

Zhou Qiong joked, but in fact he was also hinting at the relationship between Bai Yifan and Gu Ran.

There were only two sets of tableware on the table, so there probably wasn't a third person coming, but Zhou Qiong didn't want to think it was a date.

She had also seen Bai Yifan and Gu Yan having dinner together before. After all, they were from the same circle, so couldn't it be a business dinner?

"I'm not that free. I'm currently organizing a new project and don't have much time." Bai Yifan replied calmly.

“…” Zhou Qiong’s expression paused.

This means that it is not a business dinner, but a private one.

Although he didn't have much time, he still took time out to have dinner with Gu Ran in such a romantic and romantic Western restaurant. This really speaks volumes.

Bai Yifan had no intention of hiding anything and quite generously put Gu Ran on the table, hinting at their relationship.

Zhou Qiong looked at Gu Ran with even colder eyes, and suddenly felt very unwilling, as if the treasure he had been guarding for a long time had been stolen by someone accidentally.

Zhou Qiong has known Bai Yifan for a long time and has liked Bai Yifan for a long time. Why was he snatched away by Gu Ran?

Even if she couldn't get it, she didn't want Gu Ran to have it so easy.

"Let's go here." Zhou Qiong pointed to the dining table closest to Bai Yifan.

The table was just for two and there was no reservation.

The waiter took a look and gestured for invitation.

It is quite common for guests to change their minds at the last minute. As long as the table is not already reserved, they can make an exception.

"Take your time eating, I'll be leaving first." Zhou Qiong said goodbye to Bai Yifan with a smile and followed the waiter to the table to sit down.

Gu Ran thought it was the table she had originally booked, so she didn't think much about it. She sat back in her chair, picked up the cutlery and cut the steak that had just been served.

In his previous life, Gu Ran didn't have many opportunities to go to high-end restaurants. After traveling through time, he mostly ate Chinese food and was not particularly proficient in using Western tableware.

Zhou Qiong looked at the table next to her and frowned.

She chose a close distance because she wanted to see what kind of ability Gu Ran had to attract Bai Yifan.

I didn't expect that this person not only had no table manners at all, but was also so unfamiliar with the use of cutlery that he even used it with the wrong hand.

She smiled so widely and even exchanged dishes with Bai Yifan. Does she know what politeness and reserve are?

Zhou Qiong's frown deepened.
