Chapter 127
After Gu Bai got the document, he checked it repeatedly.
[System, is this the document you mentioned?]
I scanned the system and found that everything matched, except for some details.
On second thought, since we stole it in advance this time, some minor differences should be fine.
No problem.
Gu Bai was ecstatic, his eyes flashing with determination to win.
Lin Yirou: "Abai, I did it."
Gu Bai couldn't control his arrogant laughter.
People around watched curiously.
Gu Bai: "You are truly my lucky star, my baby."
Lin Yirou: "It's great to be able to help you. After all, it's for the future of us and our children."
Gu Bai didn't show any expression on his face, but his mind was in turmoil, and he was already calculating how to make Lin Yirou shut up forever.
"I will give you a grand wedding, marry you in style, and protect you from being bullied. I will give you happiness and make you the happiest woman in the world."
Lin Yirou's eyes were red with emotion. "I believe you."
Gu Bai: "Stay home quietly for the next few days and don't go anywhere. I'll contact you after I finish this matter."
Lin Yirou nodded: "Okay."
Gu Bai: "Then I'll be leaving first. There's 100,000 yuan in the card, you can use it first. If you can't contact me, maybe I'm too busy, don't think too much."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yirou's reaction, he hurriedly left with the file bag.
Lin Yirou was stunned for a moment, and before she could come to her senses, Gu Bai's figure had disappeared from her sight.
Two days later, Nan Group finally discovered that the confidential documents were lost and immediately called the police.
The most important confidential documents of the President's Office were stolen, and the entire group was in a panic.
Later, the matter could no longer be concealed, and there were even related reports on the Internet. Although no formal media announced it, they were all just rumors, but they were enough to affect the stock price of Nan Group in the secondary market.
When Lin Yirou heard the news, she was extremely panicked. She was especially afraid that she would be arrested after the matter was exposed. For a moment, she regretted why she impulsively agreed to Gu Bai.
But on second thought, there are gains and losses. Gu Bai had already promised that he would be safe and nothing would happen. The smooth progress that day also fully demonstrated this point.
As long as Gu Bai's plan succeeds, she can successfully marry into a wealthy family, become a wealthy wife in the upper class, and enjoy wealth and glory.
While Lin Yirou was imagining the future, she felt vaguely uneasy, especially when she couldn't get through to Gu Bai on the phone, this uneasiness reached its peak.
Gu Bai himself was in a state of panic.
He had expected the Nan Group to call the police, but the problem was that unplanned and uncontrollable factors arose.
Originally, he planned to get rid of Lin Yiru first, and after the police investigation was fruitless, he would slowly wait for the market opportunity, and then expose the rumor that Nan Group had lost important confidential documents on the Internet to create panic. At the same time, he would join forces with small shareholders of Nan Group to short the stock price at a discount through bulk transactions, but he did not expect that the news would reach the market in advance.
Not to mention that not enough chips have been raised at this time, and the cost of taking action at this time will be much higher. The price is a bit high, but things have developed to this point. If we don’t act in one go, it will be difficult to find a suitable opportunity later.
Gu Bai has been busy raising funds everywhere. Not only did he persuade Gu's father to borrow 60 million, which is all the working capital of the Gu Group, he also got 300 million in high-interest loans from an institution specializing in capital allocation. The loan period is two months and the interest rate is two points. This interest rate is already very cheap in the capital market. Although the interest rate is very low, the scale of funds is large and the overall interest is still very high.
Carrying such a high cost, Gu Bai was under great pressure and couldn't sleep all night. Once the plan was implemented, it must be successful, otherwise he could not afford the cost.
Besides this, Gu Bai also had to get rid of Lin Yirou at the same time. The Li family was his last resort, and he was determined to get it and would not allow it to affect him in any way.
Another three days passed. Except for a rapid drop on the first day when the news broke, the stock price of Nan Group quickly stabilized and even showed a tendency to break through and rise.
Nan Tao doesn't know much about the operations of the capital market, but Yu Zhengyang said that as long as the stock price of Nan Group does not fall, Gu Bai's conspiracy will not succeed.
So these days, as soon as the stock market opens, I keep an eye on the stock price trend of Nan Group.
Yu Xue wondered, "Sister-in-law, why are you suddenly interested in stocks these days?"
Nan Tao: "Just take a look, isn't everyone saying the market is good lately?"
Yu Xue: "That's true. Even though I don't know much about it, I've seen short videos pushed to me several times."
The two chatted for a while, and Yu Xue suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, I've eaten a new melon recently."
Nan Tao: "Which family?"
Yu Xue said mysteriously, "Guess? We've eaten it before, this time it's a follow-up."
Nan Tao became interested, "It can't be the Li family?"
Yu Xue: "Yes, it's his family. Sister-in-law, do you know that Lin Yirou is pregnant?"
Nan Tao: "And then?"
Yu Xue: "Here comes the point. After hearing that Lin Yirou had been dumped and couldn't contact Gu Bai, she was unwilling to give up, so she took the initiative to go to the Gu family to look for someone. It just so happened that the Li family was at the Gu family's house, and the two families were discussing the marriage of Li Qiuyu and Gu Bai. As a result, the Li family found out that Gu Bai had cheated on her and got her mistress pregnant. How could they tolerate this? The Li family wanted to cancel the engagement without saying a word, and the Gu family almost knelt down to beg for mercy. In the end, Lin Yirou was forcibly taken away and had a miscarriage."
Nan Tao was stunned. "So cruel?"
Yu Xue: "It's more than that. I heard someone nearly died from severe bleeding in the operating room. It took twelve hours of emergency treatment to save their life. They're awake now, but they're just crying and not talking."
Nan Tao: "That's too tragic."
Yu Xue: "This isn't the worst, there are even worse things to come."
Nan Tao probably guessed it, "Go on."
Yu Xue sighed and shook her head. "When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can get stuck in your teeth. You were beaten when you went to my house, forced to have an abortion, and nearly died from heavy bleeding. As soon as you woke up, you were arrested by the police. Just imagine how unlucky this is."
Nan Tao: "It's really pitiful, so people should be kinder."
Yu Xue: "Having a miscarriage is reaping what she sowed. I just can't understand what illegal actions she took, and why the police arrested her."
Nan Tao coughed lightly, "I didn't tell you before because there was something I needed to keep secret. Now that the person has been arrested, it should be okay to tell you now."
Yu Xue: "Who? Could it be Lin Yirou?"
Nan Tao nodded: "My brother's company lost some documents, you know about that."
Yu Xue: "She's so bold, is she really willing to risk her life? She can do such a thing."
Nan Tao shrugged, "I was just in love, and because of my greed, I was fooled by Gu Bai."
Yu Xue: "Gu Bai is such a scumbag. So, when Brother Nan lost something, was Gu Bai the mastermind behind it? Why didn't the police arrest him?"
Nan Tao: "The person who committed the crime is Lin Yirou. There is no way to arrest Gu Bai directly unless Lin Yirou confesses that Gu Bai instructed her, but that is also difficult. We need evidence to prove it."
Yu Xue: "Gu Bai is really a piece of shit. He was the mastermind, but when something went wrong, he let a woman take the blame."
Nan Tao: "Your character is bad to the core."
A week later, Yu Ze finally officially entered the first grade of nine-year compulsory education.
Nan Tao sighed that without her son around, she would probably never have the fun of eating melons again.
A lot happened this week.
After Lin Yirou was arrested, Gu Bai was always anxious and had various arguments with the system.
The system was also very annoying. It paid such a huge price to attack the Nan Group's monitoring system, but it turned out to be useless. Who would have thought that Nan Bo was so cunning that he even used his mobile phone as a camera in the office? Even a genius could not think of such a trick, so it could only give up Gu Bai, the chess piece.
Gu Bai couldn't contact the system, and was worried about the 60 million yuan from the Gu family and the 300 million yuan from the loan sharks. He was also afraid that Lin Yirou might betray him at any time. Without thinking, he immediately went abroad, but was caught by the police at the airport.
After Gu Bai's affair was exposed, Gu's father was so angry that he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. Gu Group went bankrupt, and Gu's mother's hair turned white overnight. Gu Xuan took over the Gu family, and Li Qiuyu naturally broke off the engagement with Gu Bai.
Gu Bai was finally sentenced to life imprisonment for the crimes of infringing on commercial secrets and attempted murder, but this sentence came half a year later.
After Lin Yiru and Gu Bai were both imprisoned, Nan Tao was relieved of a heavy burden.
At least the eldest brother's problem has been resolved, and his relationship with Sister Lu Yao is on the right track. I heard from the eldest brother that if he works harder, he can bring Sister Lu Yao home for the New Year this year.
After Yu Ze went to school, Nan Tao also became busy with work.
First, I got two fashion resources. The market feedback was good, and many endorsements came to me one after another.
In addition to these, the most important thing is that director Le’s crew has started filming, and the name of the movie has also been decided, called Chang'an Inn.
Since joining the crew, Nan Tao has never left. She eats, wears and lives in the crew. All day long, she is either filming or acting with Jiang Hui. She is busy and fulfilled.
The only surprise was the awakening of special abilities.
Before, people had to listen to Yu Ze’s thoughts to eat melons. Now, you can directly see the text above each person’s head, similar to a barrage. The text briefly summarizes the content of the melon and the corresponding rating.
Nan Tao was very curious at first. While filming on the set, she enjoyed looking at the melons on people's heads.
The entertainment industry is worthy of being the entertainment industry. The number and degree of explosion of melons are several times stronger than those of ordinary people.
For example, the one playing the maid was having an affair with the head of the production team, and the one lying dead was also having an affair with the head of the production team. Not only did they know about each other, they were jealous of each other. And then there was the third male lead, who actually had a financial sponsor, a male one. And then there was the fourth female lead, who was cheating on six people at once, and then...
What surprised Nan Tao the most was that she saw above Jiang Hui's head that Zhan Li was actually Jiang Hui's biological son. No wonder she always thought that the two looked alike before, it turned out that they were really related by blood.
I just couldn’t find the right time to say it at the moment, so I can only wait until the filming of the movie is finished.
Three months later, the early autumn of September had turned into the winter of December, and the filming of the movie Chang'an Inn was finally completed.
Similar art films and costume films on the market generally have a shooting period of one to one and a half months. Director Le is a person who strives for perfection, and it took him three months to complete it.
At the film wrap party, Nan Tao kept looking for opportunities to talk to Jiang Hui about Zhan Li, but was interrupted by others every time and had no choice but to give up.
I also thought about talking to Jiang Hui on WeChat, but I felt that this kind of thing should be hinted at in person, otherwise it would be too abrupt.
Fortunately, I have already made an appointment with Jiang Hui to bring Zhan Li out to play with Yu Ze in a while, so that we can all get together.
After the filming of Chang'an Inn was completed, Nan Tao had no time to rest. Under the leadership of the director and producer, she and the main creative team went on roadshows all over the country to promote the movie and strive for good box office.
This kind of art film can usually get 100 million yuan at the box office, which is considered good. After all, the main purpose is to win awards, and a high box office is naturally icing on the cake.
Major movie box office statistics software estimate the box office of Chang'an Inn to be around 150 million yuan, mainly considering the popularity bonus of Jiang Hui and Nan Tao.
To everyone's surprise, the pre-sale box office of Chang'an Inn reached 80 million, far exceeding everyone's expectations.
After the official release of Chang'an Inn, the box office on the day was also very impressive. As of 12:00 PM, the cumulative box office had reached 180 million yuan, and its reputation on major online platforms was also very good.
Of course, the Yu Group and the Nan Group are very wealthy, and they invited all their employees to visit Chang'an Inn for free. This has sparked heated discussions on the Internet, and netizens are curious about the reason.
Some people even linked Nan Tao with the Nan Group, but the related comments were quickly suppressed and the discussion died down.
It is already late December, the coldest period of winter.
Nan Tao had a rare moment of free time, so she lay lazily in the rocking chair and basked in the sun.
The bright and glorious light shines on me through the floor-to-ceiling windows, just like a sleeping beauty waiting to be woken up by the prince's kiss.
Half asleep and half awake, the phone suddenly rang, interrupting my sweet dream.
Nan Tao rubbed her eyes sleepily, her voice a little hoarse, "Hello?"
Lin Hong: "Are you sleeping? I got you a script. It's a gay drama with two male leads."
Nan Tao: "A TV series?"
Lin Hong: "Yes, the script has added a female lead in order to pass the review. The director thinks your image is more suitable for the female lead and wants to invite you to play the role. I think the script is very good. The only worry is that playing the female lead in a gay drama will not be likable. I have accepted the script for now, but I am still hesitant and want to ask for your opinion."
Nan Tao lazily asked, "Who are the male protagonists?"
Lin Hong: "Gu Xuan, Qiu Jun."
Nan Tao sat up straight, "Who? I answered."
Lin Hong: "...Don't you want to read the script?"
