Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Chapter 12
Yan Xiu hesitated and said, "I saw a watch recently, and it almost..."
Gu Ting quickly covered his ears: "Alright, alright, I hate the rich and can't stand this kind of stimulation."
She had conjured up a story about the suffering of a wealthy second-generation kid, but it turned out his greatest suffering was wanting to buy a watch worth tens of millions but not having the money to pay for it… Human suffering truly is incomparable! The difference between people is greater than the difference between humans and cattle!
Yan Xiu didn't say anything to the phone, but there was always a faint smile between his brows like the spring breeze. Gu Ting admired him a little. He was kidnapped and almost had his kidneys cut, but he could still smile?
"This is a small matter for me. But you, were plotted against by your own family, and in the end you had to cover up for them and swallow your anger. Haha, I can't swallow this." Gu Ting felt a little sorry for Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu's smile faded slightly, and a hint of sharpness appeared between his brows, but he didn't say much. Finally, he said: "I'll contact you after signing. You have a good rest." After that, he hung up the phone.
Gu Ting was very excited, and she couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts. Could it be that her meeting Yan Xiu was not entirely an accident, but was also the result of the God of Wealth's buff? Otherwise, how could she explain that she and Yan Xiu had only known each other for one day, and yet he had brought her 10 million in wealth?
This is really a case of money falling from the sky and the mother having to get married, there is no way to avoid it, what can she do? She can only compromise and accept the money with tears!
Gu Ting simply cleaned up the glass shards and immediately called the person who had the landlord's name on her phone and asked to cancel the lease. The landlord was very unhappy at first, but when Gu Ting told him about her experience of being targeted by two groups of people, who even broke into her house through the window and kidnapped her, and how the police had just sent her back, the landlord had nothing to say and reluctantly returned two months' rent. After deducting 100 yuan for repairs, there was still 1,300 yuan left.
Faced with the 1,300 yuan, Gu Ting was not excited about picking up money for free. She felt that she was a little spoiled by the God of Wealth buff.
Then Gu Ting contacted the moving company. While waiting, Gu Ting took out Lawyer Liu's business card and called the other party first.
"Lawyer Liu, regarding the confidentiality agreement we signed this morning, I'm willing to sign it, but there are still some details that need to be discussed."
The other party replied quickly: "Sure. If it's convenient for Miss Gu, then we can meet at 3 pm at a place of your choice."
Gu Ting was not very familiar with the city, so he chose to meet at a cafe outside the community where Lin Mengmeng lived.
After finishing all the work, Gu Ting finally clicked on the voice message Lin Yi sent last night with disdain, "Tingting, since you've entered this industry, there's no need to be so conservative. Isn't it better to enjoy life while you can? It's always better to have more friends than more enemies. Don't narrow your path."
Gu Ting decisively blocked Lin Yi. Although it was unwise to offend the company's top boss, but... as long as she was happy!
On the way to move, Gu Ting finally had a chance to surf the Internet quietly and check the local news. Within two minutes, she was so angry that she almost threw her phone.
"When the beauty woke up, she found herself in a den of thieves and suffered..."
Gu Ting angrily clicked on the video: a beautiful anchorwoman was kidnapped in her sleep. After enduring a night of cold, she finally handed over three dying kidnappers to the police. The mystery behind this was beyond comprehension...
Gu Ting: Damn your father’s head!
The beautiful anchorwoman actually has an unspeakable hobby...
Clicking on it, I saw: A beautiful anchor on the XX platform was exposed by passersby as a ten-year scratch-off lottery addict, spending all her money! Finally, she won the first prize!
Gu Ting: I curse you to be poor forever! No thanks!
《Shocked, this beauty is so hot...》
Gu Ting hesitated and clicked on it. A beautiful woman surnamed Gu had fallen into the hands of a thief, only to discover she was a descendant of the dragon. She beat the kidnapper to a pulp with a set of dragon fists, sending him straight to the hospital for emergency treatment! The beautiful woman was so happy that she bought two scratch-off tickets and won the 600,000 yuan jackpot. Her admirer knelt down and proposed to her on the spot, simply because she was so hot...
Gu Ting: I really fucked~~~
The media these days is so good at finding gimmicks that Gu Ting's eyes went dark after dark. She simply scrolled through local short videos. The fifth one she saw was a clip of her scratching off a lottery ticket and winning first prize. The video had over 10,000 likes and over 1,000 comments. She scrolled through the comments, and the content was all within her acceptable range. Some people were praising her good luck or her beauty. Some people even spoke up, saying that this beautiful woman had just escaped the clutches of the kidnappers and that she had contributed to their capture. Maybe she was under a lot of mental stress and bought a scratch-off ticket outside the police station, but she didn't expect to win. It was just like beauty gets rewarded...
Gu Ting’s first thought: Netizens are really heartwarming, unlike those unscrupulous media outlets that are only interested in attracting attention and have no bottom line for traffic.
The second thought: From beginning to end, the word "banquet" did not appear once!
But within half an hour, Gu Ting realized that he had gained a little bit of fame on the Internet. Was this a blessing in disguise?
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Ting finally moved into Lin Mengmeng's residence, made the bed, packed out clothes and shoes, and arranged daily necessities. When she was almost done, she casually ate a bowl of fried noodles outside the community. At three o'clock in the afternoon, she and Lawyer Liu met at the agreed coffee shop.
Lawyer Liu took out the documents and got straight to the point: "Ms. Gu, is there anything else you are dissatisfied with about this agreement?"
Gu Ting said sincerely: "Except for the amount, everything else is very satisfactory."
Lawyer Liu's expression remained unchanged: "How much do you want?"
Gu Ting held up two fingers: "Twenty million."
Lawyer Liu's expression changed for the first time, his eyes inquiring, "Ms. Gu, I'm a little curious. You said this morning that you wanted to contact Mr. Xiao Yan directly. Why did you change your mind?"
Gu Ting looked at him as if he was a fool. "Of course Yan Xiu is unwilling to give the 20 million. Otherwise, what would you do?"
Lawyer Liu was choked, and after a long while he said, "5 million to 20 million, isn't that a bit too much, Miss Gu? I wonder if you know that Qian Yan, who just signed an advertising contract with you, also belongs to the Yan Group?"
Gu Ting looked at him like he was stupid. "Excuse me: 500,000 yuan for endorsement or 20 million yuan, which one is higher?"
Lawyer Liu was speechless for a while. After regrouping, he said, "10 million is a huge sum of money for you."
Gu Ting complained in his heart: Of course it’s no problem for me to have 10 million by myself, but the problem is that you have to face two “bad guys” now, how can it be the same?
He spoke rather aggressively, "Your Yan Group is a huge company, so why are you hesitating over 20 million? Last night, Yan Xiu was willing to spend 20 million to save a stranger like me. Do you know how deep that bond is? So now I'm signing this agreement completely against my conscience. Conscience is priceless. I'm only taking 20 million from you. Is that too much?"
Lawyer Liu: “!!!” I have never seen such a shameless person.
But on the other hand, the more shameless and money-hungry Gu Ting is, the more reassured they are. If Gu Ting is smart, he will never give up 20 million for an insignificant person.
In the second round of confrontation between Lawyer Liu and Gu Ting, Liu suffered a disastrous defeat in the shameless arena and finally had to revise the agreement and change the confidentiality amount to 20 million.
After the signing, 20 million was quickly transferred to the account.
Gu Ting received the money, suppressed his surging emotions, and said goodbye with a smile: "Lawyer Liu, see you next time."
Lawyer Liu said with a forced smile: I’ll say goodbye to you!
After Lawyer Liu left, Gu Ting looked at the countless zeros on her phone spinning in circles. This was a full 20 million! This damn money goblin, he looked so ordinary, but he was so addictive that people couldn't help themselves!
The moment the money arrived, Gu Ting thought a lot. She wanted to buy two houses, living in one and leaving the other empty. She also wanted to buy two cars, driving them alternately on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Thursday, and Saturday. She also wanted to buy a lot of beautiful clothes and shoes, never wearing the same thing twice a week. She also wanted to buy dozens of kilograms of gold jewelry, filling her entire jewelry box. She wanted to have a cup of milk tea in the morning, a cup at noon, a cup in the afternoon, and another cup for midnight snack. She wouldn't order anything less than 20 yuan...
The more Gu Ting thought about it, the more exaggerated and outrageous it became. He even thought of donating money to the country to develop an interstellar missile, the kind that could reach the moon with one shot... Gu Ting finally realized that he was a little too obsessed. This was only 20 million, not 200 billion.
At this stage, her greatest contribution to the country is that she can take good care of herself, pay taxes according to the law, and not cause trouble to the motherland.
Gu Ting finally calmed down and sent an "ok" gesture to Yan Xiu, followed by another message: The account has been sent.
Yan Xiu must have been busy and did not reply immediately.
Seeing that it was still early, Gu Ting had received the first payment of the day, and it was time to get the second payment. Based on the information on the Internet, she brought her ID card, bank card, put on a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, and after being fully armed, she headed straight to the city's Welfare Lottery Center.
Gu Ting went to the counter and took out two scratch-off tickets to claim her prize. After verifying their authenticity, the staff gave her some forms to fill out, saying, "I've never seen two first-prize tickets win at once. My dear lady, most people who win prizes donate some of their winnings so they pay less tax. Do you want to donate?"
Gu Ting only showed his two eyes, and the dog asked secretly: "Who will this money be donated to?"
The staff member replied: “Donate it to children in impoverished mountainous areas to help them improve their lives and complete their studies.”
Gu Ting's eyes moved slightly, he thought for a moment, and finally said, "Donate one hundred thousand."
The staff member looked up and confirmed again and again: "Are you sure you want to donate 100,000?"
Gu Ting didn't hesitate at all, "Yes."
Only those who share the same suffering can sympathize with her and understand the cruelty and injustice of fate. She had been caught in the rain as a child, and now that she has grown up, she will do her best to help by holding up a broken umbrella for other children.
Seeing her resolute attitude, the staff asked her to fill out a donation form while muttering quietly, "I was originally thinking of having a cup of milk tea to share in the festive mood, but now I feel embarrassed."
Gu Ting took the remittance slip and waved her hand: "Sister, next time you come to redeem your prize, I promise to bring you a few more cups of milk tea! Whatever you order!"
The staff was speechless. Is the grand prize to be picking up cabbages? Just walking around the fields and picking up one? If you're so talented, why aren't you on the Forbes rich list?
Gu Ting donated 100,000 yuan, paid 20% tax on the remaining 500,000 yuan, and finally received a remittance slip with a face value of 400,000 yuan.
Seeing that it was already 5:30 in the afternoon, Gu Ting planned to go to the bank to cash the remittance order later when she had time. When she was about to reach the gate of the community, her cell phone rang. The caller ID showed that it was Luo Yuan, so she answered the call.
"Gu Ting, you've been acting strange lately," Luo Yuan said in a cold voice.
"I treat you better than my own sister. If you need money, I'll do everything I can to help you. If you get into trouble, I'll help you clean up the mess. I'm devoted to you and never shirk my responsibilities. I've done this for you, and this is how you treat me now? You don't answer my calls if you don't want to, and you ignore my messages if you don't want to. Is this how you act? Have you ever considered me?"
"You weren't like this before. You were obedient, serious about your work, and very responsible. You wouldn't read a message without replying, disappear without a reason, break an appointment, or even lie! I'm so disappointed in you!"
Luo Yuan was accusing himself with great emotion when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound and couldn't help but ask, "What's that sound?"
