Upon hearing this, Hao Li spat out a mouthful of tea.
"What? You've been kept by someone? You're not talking about Gu Jingyan, are you?"
Chen Zhe shrugged.
"Who else could it be but him?"
"Wait a minute! Manager Chen, this is against the rules. If the higher-ups find out..."
Linglong Club has a rule that strictly prohibits technicians from having excessive contact with clients.
"It's not what you think. It means that from now on, Young Master Gu will take over all of Xiao Dingdong's time. You could say he's bought it out."
"How much... did he spend?"
"10,000 a day."
"Pfft!!! What? 10,000 yuan a day? He really is a rich kid. He can easily afford to pay 5,000 yuan a month to a female college student. These rich kids don't even need to spend money. There are plenty of girls who will pay them."
People online always talk about how much money they make from being kept by someone, but that's because they haven't thought things through.
Rich people are rich, but they are not stupid.
The reason they are rich is largely because they are stingy, and they are particularly good at calculating; they can calculate the cost of anything.
For an average-looking female college student, 5,000 yuan a month is considered the basic rate. For a prettier one, it's about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.
Leaving aside female celebrities, their fame speaks for itself, and wealthy people are more likely to pay for that fame.
But before those female celebrities became famous, they were worthless. Hao Li knew several of them. When the customers came over, they would often talk about how they had patronized those female celebrities for several months before they became famous, and some of them didn't even pay.
So when Chen Zhe said that Gu Jingyan paid 10,000 yuan a day to book Xiao Dingdong, she thought it was an exaggeration.
To be honest, Gu Jingyan also thought it was an exaggeration.
He didn't pay that money.
But Chen Zhe said that if this matter were to be made public, he only needed to tacitly agree.
"Sister Li, there's a saying that money can't buy what I want. Maybe Young Master Gu just likes this kind of thing? It's very common for rich people to spend money on what they like."
"Well, I've learned something new. If he spends money like this, won't his father say something?"
Hao Li knew that Gu Jingyan's father, Gu Zhendong, was very opposed to Gu Jingyan coming to this kind of place.
...
At the Gu family villa, Gu Zhendong looked at his son Gu Jingyan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and his lips trembled with anger.
He picked up the teacup next to him and threw it at Gu Jingyan. Gu Jingyan didn't dodge, and the teacup hit him.
His wife, Cao Xue, chuckled inwardly, then feigned innocence as she came over and placed her hand on his heaving chest.
"Brother Dong, don't get too angry. Jingyan might have just acted impulsively. After he becomes disabled, his thoughts might become a bit extreme. We'll discipline him slowly in the future."
"What do you mean, 'acting on impulse'? I think he just wanted to go against me! He didn't just break his leg, he broke his brain too! Otherwise, how could he do something so stupid? Paying 10,000 yuan a day to hire a female masseuse! If word got out, people would laugh their heads off!!! If my friend hadn't been there at that club, I wouldn't have known about this. Do you know what people are saying about me now? They're saying I gave birth to a son with guts, what is that? That's mocking me!!!"
"Brother Dong, don't be too angry. Although Jingyan was wrong this time, he's still your son. He might be looking for a girlfriend, or he might be insecure about his leg, which is why he went to that kind of place..."
Gu Jingyan looked at his stepmother Cao Xue with a cold gaze.
"Shut up! What's it to you? Even if I'm lame, I'm still better than your son. I heard he's already lost a hundred million in his company, haha, what a success!"
Cao Xue was furious when she heard this, but she was a very patient person, so she just pretended to be sad and wiped away a few tears.
“Jingyan, I’m speaking up for you, why are you dragging your brother into this? Although your brother lost money, he gained valuable experience, which will help him build up his skills for inheriting the company in the future…”
"Heh, with his money-wasting ways, he'll bankrupt the Gu family in just a few years after inheriting the company. Accumulating experience? What kind of experience? The experience of failure?"
Gu Jingyan's sharp tongue isn't just directed at outsiders; he's the same way with his family. Ever since he became disabled, he's been like a hedgehog covered in thorns.
"Shut up!!!"
Gu Zhendong was trembling with anger again.
"Your mother was just speaking up for you, why are you being so aggressive? Jingping is currently gaining experience. Who hasn't lost money in business? I can afford this tuition, and I'm willing to let him lose. Even if he loses money, he's doing something worthwhile, unlike you, who spends all day with women, does nothing productive, and only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. In what way do you resemble a family person like me?"
Gu Jingyan looked at his father, his eyes filled with sorrow.
"He lost a hundred million, and you said it was worth it, but I only spend a few million, and you beat and scold me. Hah, maybe I really am not your son. Also, this woman is not my mother. My mother's name is Ye Wanting. Please remember that!!!"
"How dare you talk about your mother? If she were still alive, how heartbroken would she be to see you like this?"
"Of course she'll be heartbroken, because before she died, you promised her you'd hand the company over to me! But you broke your promise!"
"You!!! You!!!"
Gu Zhendong clutched his chest, unable to utter a single word. This was the thing he felt most indebted to his son, but there was nothing he could do. His eldest son's leg was crippled, making it difficult for him to inherit the company. He had no choice but to hand the company over to his younger son to manage. All of this was for the sake of the bigger picture.
Seeing Gu Zhendong clutching his chest, Cao Xue quickly went over to support him, then glared angrily at Gu Jingyan.
"Look at you! What if you make your dad have a heart attack?"
Gu Jingyan sneered, "His illness has flared up, doesn't that fulfill your wishes? This way, you and your son can inherit the company!"
It has to be said that Gu Jingyan's words were extremely venomous; he was practically cursing his own father to die.
The last shred of guilt in Gu Zhendong's heart was washed away by his anger.
"Get out of here! Get out of this house! I'll freeze all your cards. I'll show you how hard it is to make money. Don't even think about coming back until you understand this!"
Gu Jingyan coldly looked at his father and his annoying stepmother, placed his hand on the wheelchair, and turned around without the slightest hesitation.
The nanny quickly stepped forward and pulled him back.
"Young Master, please apologize to the Master. How can you go out alone like this?"
Gu Zhendong's lips moved slightly. It was only when his son placed his hand on the wheelchair that he realized his son was disabled.
Can he survive if he goes out like this?
[Jingyan, quickly admit your mistake. If you just soften your stance, Dad will give you a way out...]
That's what he thought, but the result disappointed him.
Gu Jingyan pried the nanny's hands off, leaving behind only a sentence that made Gu Zhendong feel very uncomfortable.
That man doesn't deserve to be my father!
