Chapter 601: The Sour Smell of Love!

Just now, when we were talking about Tie Mao, Gu Yin and the other two entered the banquet hall and encountered him chatting with some bosses.

Upon seeing Gu Yin and the others enter, Tie Mao and the person he was chatting with stopped their conversation and led their group toward them.

"Big Boss, Second Boss!"

Chu Yan lowered his head and said softly, "I'll transfer my 1% share to you later. That way of addressing you is too awful."

Gu Yin tilted her head slightly: "I'll give you more of my shares later, and you'll be managing them all. If you don't pay me to help me for free, I'll feel bad letting you manage them."

YingLe is already a very large company, ranking among the top three in the entertainment industry. Given its current trend, it's not impossible for YingLe to become number one next year, and it could even go public in another year. It's the perfect time to make money. If Chu Yan were to withdraw now, what would she become?

Chu Yan chuckled: "That's fine, consider it a gift."

Gu Yin asked in confusion, "What gift?"

Chu Yan didn't explain, but squeezed her fingers and looked at Tie Mao, who had already arrived: "We came here to eat and drink, why are you talking business?"

Tie Mao laughed, "Everywhere I look are big shots! This is a rare opportunity. I won't be able to rest easy until I secure a few endorsements! I won't be able to sleep at night!"

After speaking, he pointed to the two people next to him: "This is Manhua, the actress who earns the most money in our company, and this is Liang Yu, the top singer who just joined our company today."

The two quickly greeted Gu Yin and Chu Yan.

Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. Please increase this year's year-end bonus."

Manhua's eyes lit up! Last year's top performer received three top luxury brand endorsements and a house as their year-end bonus! It's already October; if she can stick to being number one for two more months, those endorsements will definitely be hers!

"I will definitely continue to work hard!"

Gu Yin smiled and said, "Health comes first, work appropriately!" Then she looked at the very handsome Liang Yu and said, "Welcome to Ying Le."

Liang Yu was a bit shy, and nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "Thank you, boss, I will try my best!"

Chu Yan looked at Tie Mao: "You guys have fun first, we'll go say hello to the others."

Tie Mao nodded and led the two to continue negotiating resources with the big shots.

After arriving at her parents' side and getting to know several business tycoons through Zhou Wansheng, Gu Yin disappeared. She hadn't eaten anything all afternoon and was starving.

"Why are you here all alone?" Gu Yin took some food to the rest area and saw Li Mingxuan eating alone.

Although Li Mingxuan didn't attend the same university as them, he was still in Beijing. Gu Shu would often visit him, so his relationship with the Gu family was fairly good. This time, they invited him to the banquet. Since Li Mingxuan's major was the same as Gu Hua's, Gu Hua was the one who entertained him when he arrived.

Li Mingxuan explained, "She went to the restroom."

Li Mingxuan knew the Gu family was rich, and he also knew the Zhou family was rich, but he had no idea they were this rich! It was simply unbelievable!

The Gu family in Lijia Village and the Gu family in Beijing are the same people, but they are completely different!

Seeing that he was a little reserved, Gu Yin smiled and said, "Are you not used to it? Actually, even after a year or two, I'm still not used to it, but this is my family's good intention and blessing, so just go along with it. By the way, how are you doing at National Chengchi University? I mean, how are you doing in your studies?"

Li Mingxuan was indeed quite unaccustomed to it. Seeing that Gu Yin had changed a lot in terms of temperament but otherwise looked the same as before, he smiled and said, "It's alright, you can keep up. As for you, I've heard about you all over our school. Your paper caused quite a stir. Amazing! I admire you! I'm so proud of you!"

He truly admired Gu Yin! For a child from the countryside to be able to attend university in Beijing is already extremely rare, but she managed to break through the ranks of so many talented people in the school, break records, and go on to achieve global success. She is the only one of her kind in history!

"You're amazing too!" Gu Hua's voice rang out from the side.

Gu Yin looked at her.

Gu Hua nodded to Li Mingxuan: "Ayin, he's working as an assistant to Teacher Chongjing now. Don't you think he's amazing!"

Gu Yin exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's incredibly impressive! So many graduate students are vying for that spot, and you managed to get it. You're something else, Li Mingxuan!"

In his previous life, Li Mingxuan managed to stay in Beijing as a civil servant through his own abilities. Initially, it was due to his own hard work, and later, his girlfriend's family did help him get promoted. But ultimately, one must be capable oneself; otherwise, all efforts would be in vain.

Li Mingxuan said embarrassedly, "Professor Chongjing encountered a problem on the bus, and I helped him out. We met a few more times at school after that. Later, he taught our class, and I was the class monitor. Because we interacted a lot, he made me his assistant. I was really lucky."

People who admire professors aren't stupid; they know whether a professor has real skills or not.

"Did you know that Professor Chongjing plans to take on students in the undergraduate department?" Gu Yin asked curiously.

Li Mingxuan nodded: "I know. He told me to work harder, go to court to listen to cases when I have time, and write a paper for him at the end of this semester, a paper that I completed independently."

A smart person would immediately recognize that this means he's being groomed as a disciple.

Gu Yin raised her glass: "Congratulations!"

Gu Hua also raised her drink: "I hope that after I finish my freshman year, I can be your junior!"

Li Mingxuan smiled and nodded: "Keep it up, everyone!"

"Ah Yin!"

Gu Yin turned around and saw Chu Yan: "What's wrong?"

"Come here for a second."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yin put down her cup and said, "I'll go over there first. You two can talk first."

Walking up to Chu Yan, Gu Yin asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yan pointed to the back garden: "Let's go for a walk."

Gu Yin looked outside: "Okay, let's go out for some fresh air."

The two walked to the back garden. Chu Yan put his coat on her, looked around, stood in front of Gu Yin, and coughed lightly.

"I have something to tell you."

Looking into his serious eyes, Gu Yin's heart began to race without her realizing it.

"Okay, go ahead."

Chu Yan took a deep breath, then reached out and took Gu Yin's hand, and said softly, "We've known each other for so many years, but because of our age difference, there are some things we've never said clearly. Today is your birthday, and on such a good day, I want to ask you for an identity."

Gu Yin's face suddenly flushed. Her image was reflected in the other person's deep eyes, and the red crescent moons on his eyebrows turned even redder. For some reason, Gu Yin found the other person somewhat attractive! Smelling the aroma of wine emanating from him, Gu Yin unconsciously swallowed the saliva in her mouth: "Good, good."

Chu Yan looked at her confused expression and couldn't help but chuckle, the laughter growing louder and louder.

Gu Yin frowned.

Chu Yan rested his chin on Gu Yin's shoulder and chuckled, "Ahem, I haven't even mentioned my identity yet, and you've already agreed."

As the other person spoke, the warmth intermittently enveloped Gu Yin's shoulders and neck, a sensation that was warm, itchy, tingling, and numb.

"What is your identity?"

Chu Yan reached out and hugged Gu Yin's slender waist, which was easily encircled by her two hands, his voice hoarse: "As her boyfriend, is that okay?"

Gu Yin blinked: "Mmm." She was already drunk even without drinking; the men were so alluring!! It was all because the moon was too enchanting tonight, bewitching her to the point of oblivion.

A chill ran through her chest, and Gu Yin gently pulled away from Chu Yan's embrace. Looking down, she saw that on her snow-white skin, besides the string of jade beads, there was now a sun-shaped yellow gemstone necklace.

"From now on, you will be my sun, and I will always be the sunflower waiting for you and following you. Girlfriend, do you like it?"

Gu Yin nodded: "My boyfriend is very handsome, I like him very much."

Chu Yan smiled and couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek: "I'm glad you like it. I made it myself."

She used to think the phrase "gentle as water" was fake when she read novels, but tonight she finally experienced its charm!

Chu Yan's neck was pressed down, and he felt a warmth between his brows. The soft touch disappeared as soon as it touched him, and he hadn't even come to his senses yet. Gu Yin then walked back.

Chu Yan reached up and touched his brow, pursed his lips, and smiled as he chased after him.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Gu Yin smiled without stopping. A moment later, her right hand, which was hanging by her side, was grasped.

Chu Yan looked down at Gu Yin and saw that she was smiling, so he couldn't help but laugh silently.

Seeing the two walking towards the back garden, Gu Le wondered what they were going to do, so she followed them. As a result, she saw and heard Chu Yan's confession and witnessed the two of them acting all shy and awkward. Gu Le rolled her eyes!

The stench of this romance can be smelled even from so far away!
