After all, what's the point of going to university if not to find a high-paying job in the future? Mu Liuyun, however, amassed a seven-figure fortune in just over a year by working as a professional stunt double; does she even need a university degree?
But now, with two bosses canceling their contracts one after another, Mu Liuyun feels a sense of crisis.
Even if you have savings, it's not right to just sit around and do nothing; you still need to think about the future.
With that in mind, Mu Liuyun decided to spend another night with Old Man Mu and return to school early tomorrow morning.
As for now, let's hurry to the banquet the old man mentioned and fill our stomachs.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to attend a banquet on an empty stomach, Mu Liuyun didn't care about saving face.
However, since there's a free dinner, it's not unreasonable to take a taxi to the destination.
After all, having experienced being driven around by Shen Lanxin, Mu Liuyun found it easier to go from frugality to extravagance than from extravagance to frugality.
Just this once!
So, while silently reciting "This is the last time" to herself, Mu Liuyun waved to the taxis passing by on the road.
...
...
Half an hour later, Mu Liuyun arrived at the entrance of Shuiyilan Hotel. Looking at the security guards standing at the gate and the wealthy people dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding invitations as they walked into the hotel, Mu Liuyun couldn't help but look down at herself.
He was still wearing the work pants and white shirt he'd worn that morning, looking like a construction worker. It was only because of his striking appearance that he was likely chased away by security guards long ago.
"Chu, Chu Yaqin? Why does that name sound so familiar?"
The first two names on the welcome sign at the entrance are "Chu Yaqin" and "Lin Yurou".
But why are there two names? Which one is the granddaughter of the grandfather's friend?
The surname Chu reminded him of Chu Tianxing, the head of the Chu family in Jincheng, whom his adoptive parents had intended to give away as a gift.
The fact that a banquet could be held here suggests that Chu Yaqin has some connection with Chu Tianxing.
Fortunately, it was his adoptive parents' idea to give him away as a gift, and Chu Tianxing had no idea who he was, so he didn't have to worry about being recognized.
What should we do if we run into the Du family?
After thinking about it, it's quite possible. Given the Du family's shameless and profit-driven nature, the chances of them appearing in this kind of situation are not small.
If they really do encounter this, then Mu Liuyun can only apologize first.
He wasn't confident that he could refrain from shoving a big dagger in that old man's face when he saw him, and let him know that his two years of hard work and struggle were no joke!
But that's all in the future. What we should be doing now is...
"Let's make the call first."
Remembering Old Man Mu's instructions before she left, Mu Liuyun prepared to take out the envelope to check the phone number.
Before he could even reach into his pocket, a strong arm suddenly grabbed him.
"Miss, is no one here to greet you?"
Mu Liuyun looked up and saw a burly, bald man dressed in a butler's uniform, sweating profusely and pulling at her anxiously.
Miss?
"You've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?"
Mu Liuyun was somewhat displeased. She was dressed in men's clothing and had short hair, so how could he still be mistaken for someone else's gender so easily?
The bald man seemed to realize that his behavior had gone too far, and quickly let go of her hand: "Excuse me, miss, I am Li Guang, the person in charge of today's welcome banquet."
Li Guang was not only in charge of the welcoming banquet, but also the driver and bodyguard of Chu Tianxing, the leader of the Chu family. He was arguably the person Chu Tianxing trusted most.
The young lady has just returned from abroad, and I heard she brought a good friend from overseas with her. The master specially hosted this banquet to welcome the two of them back to the country.
Li Guang had seen a photo of this young lady's friend, and she looked exactly like the girl in front of him. He just didn't know why she was late today or why she had cut her hair short.
But no matter what, there are two main characters at the welcoming banquet, and the banquet is about to begin, but none of them have come to greet the young lady's friends. If the young lady finds out, she will definitely be angry.
"The banquet is about to begin, and you are the star of the day, so please come in quickly!"
Li Guang's tone was pleading, and he hoped in his heart that the young lady's friend was not angry because of their negligence.
Her husband dotes on his daughter immensely. Having not seen her for over two years, he wanted to give her the best welcome-back banquet. If they angered her friends and messed things up, their bonuses would probably be over for life.
Li Guang, a burly man, looked rather pitiful in his humble manner, but Mu Liuyun was not a philanthropist and could not see through Li Guang's little schemes. She remained unmoved.
Who is the main character at the welcome banquet?
Should I do this?
A stand-in?
That's no joke!
Besides, he's here to enjoy the meal, why should he have to work like a beast of burden?
So, Mu Liuyun shook her head, her eyes resolute as if she wanted to join the group.
"No, I'm not..."
The moment Mu Liuyun spoke, Li Guang knew that his mistress's friend was still angry. He immediately bowed ninety degrees to interrupt Mu Liuyun before she could finish speaking: "I'm sorry, it was our oversight that we were not prepared to welcome you. We can compensate you with 200,000 yuan. We just hope you can be lenient and not make things difficult for us servants."
"How many?"
Mu Liuyun was startled and stared at Li Guang with wide eyes.
"Add another 200,000, making it a total of 400,000!"
Li Guang assumed that Mu Liuyun's hesitation was due to dissatisfaction with the price, so he held up four fingers, gritted his teeth, and made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.
Such an amount is only enough to tempt the average person.
Li Guang knew that the young lady's friends must be wealthy and powerful, and the amount was merely a representation of their sincerity.
But Mu Liuyun was neither rich nor noble, nor was she an ordinary person, and faced with such an irresistible offer.
Without hesitation, he immediately performed a face-changing technique.
"Sir, your sincere feelings for Miss and Master have moved me, and I forgive you!"
As he spoke, he smiled broadly and reached out to shake hands with Li Guang.
Yes, I'm not doing this for the money, but mainly because of your feelings for the master and mistress, Baldy.
At the same time, this also avoids being recognized by acquaintances such as the Du family.
As for what to do if you run into the real culprit? What's there to be afraid of? It was all that bald guy's doing, what does it have to do with him!
Anyway, he hasn't received the money yet, and he has the invitation in his pocket, so why should he worry about being kicked out?
As soon as Mu Liuyun finished speaking, the bald man grasped Mu Liuyun's hand, and his face clearly showed relief.
He clapped his hands, and in an instant, two young women carrying toolboxes appeared beside Mu Liuyun like ninjas, picking her up from either side and carrying her into the hall.
"Hey, no, I can walk by myself!"
The unease of her feet leaving the ground made Mu Liuyun struggle. But the two seemingly frail young women were like an impenetrable wall, holding Mu Liuyun firmly between them.
Mu Liuyun truly hated her own constitution, which allowed her to be so easily manipulated by others.
...
Just after Mu Liuyun was taken away, a hot, sexy woman with purple hair stood in the spot where Mu Liuyun had just been.
She adjusted her sunglasses and muttered to herself with some confusion.
"That's strange. Didn't Dad say I should greet someone dressed normally at the door? But there isn't one."
...
