When Shangguan Wu returned home, she entered the villa and found her elder brother, Gu Yilou, in the living room. She was quite surprised: "Why are you back, brother?"
Didn't he go with everyone else?
When Gu Yilou saw them return, remembering Qin Yiheng's words, he asked Shangguan Wu, "Sister-in-law, I have a question I'd like to ask you, is that alright?"
Shangguan Wu replied without hesitation, "Sure, brother, just tell me. I'll tell you everything I know."
Gu Yilou glanced at his fourth brother and gestured, "Sit down and let's talk."
Shangguan Wu walked to the sofa and sat down.
Gu Yunzhen sat down next to her, his arm draped over the back of the sofa behind her.
Gu Yilou looked at the couple and said, "Sister-in-law, Aheng asked me to pass on a message to you: [Meise] perfume has been sold overseas and is quite profitable. Also, the three perfumers from the Xiao family have returned to the country. They had a big fight with Xiao Jingming and tricked him before leaving. The Xiao family's power is gone and they can no longer amount to anything."
Shangguan Wushui's eyes were filled with surprise: "You broke up?"
Gu Yilou nodded: "Yes, they manipulated a set of data, which caused problems with the 'Alluring Beauty' perfume produced by the Xiao family."
Xiao Jingming originally intended to dominate the perfume market through volume, so he invested all of Xiao Group's working capital into it. Now that things have gone wrong, the shareholders of Xiao Group are all looking for him, and he's in a complete mess.
"That's wonderful!"
Shangguan Wu was quite excited, but she was also puzzled: "None of my older cousins told me about this." She was at the Qin family's house at the time!
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Gu Yunzhen.
Gu Yunzhen spoke up: "They didn't tell me either."
Gu Yilou coughed twice: "Ahem, I guess I forgot back then."
"Oh." Shangguan Wu blinked, not quite believing it.
Gu Yilou had a bit of a headache, but he still had to say what needed to be said. He continued, "It's like this, Aheng is planning to have the three of us cooperate to produce hovercars, and he asked if you're interested in participating?"
By cooperating with the two giants of the capital, Shangguan Wu was basically making money for free. It would be a fool not to take advantage of such a good deal, so why wouldn't she agree?
"have!"
Absolutely!
But she asked with concern, "The system chip for the hovercars hasn't been made yet, and the aerial roads haven't been developed either. We can't just let everyone fly around freely, can we?"
If someone in the sky gets into a car accident, and something falls down, it could damage a house or hit someone; it would be a disaster no matter how you look at it.
Although we live in a high-tech era, there is a saying that haste makes waste, and we cannot take too big a step at once.
Gu Yilou nodded: "Your consideration is good. Aheng said that the road development will be led by the government, and he has already reached an agreement. Our two companies will share the funding according to equity, and we need to provide 8 billion yuan."
"That's good." Shangguan Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but still had one worry: "Big brother, our Shangguan family's working capital is probably insufficient. Could you give me a little more time to raise it?"
Gu Yunzhen suddenly spoke up: "Madam, you have sufficient funds, so there's no need to worry."
Shangguan Wu exclaimed, "Huh? What?"
Gu Yunzhen told her, "Shangguan Group does not have enough working capital, but you do. You can use it first, and then take it back when the funds come back."
Shangguan Wu's beautiful eyes widened: "Where would I get that much money?"
"What's mine is yours," Gu Yunzhen said casually, turning her head to look at Gu Yilou: "Brother, if there's nothing else, we'll go back to our rooms first. You should get some sleep too."
Gu Yilou smiled with satisfaction and said, "Alright, you can go up now."
Shangguan Wu, somewhat bewildered as Gu Yunzhen led her upstairs: "..." So, did she take advantage of her husband?
"Husband, I..."
Before Shangguan Wu could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen interrupted him: "Isn't this a good opportunity?"
"It's a good opportunity, but..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Do you mean you and I should be separate?"
We are inseparable~
A warm current surged through Shangguan Wu's heart, flowing through her entire body, making her feel warm and sweet.
"Honey, thank you!"
Moved, she hugged Gu Yunzhen's lean waist, buried her face in his warm chest, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was so glad that she could marry him again in this life.
She was glad that all her perseverance had been worthwhile.
This is a blessing from heaven, but a person's blessings are finite and must not be squandered, otherwise even the greatest good deeds will be exhausted.
The Buddha said that planting good seeds will yield good results.
She will cherish her relationship with him and will try her best to do good deeds.
Of course, those who owe her will have to pay it back!
Shangguan Wu pondered to himself.
The following morning, the world was shrouded in white, and the surroundings were exceptionally quiet.
Shangguan Wu and Gu Yunzhen returned to her parents' home to pay New Year's respects.
Because the Shangguan family moved to the capital, fewer people came to pay their respects for the New Year than in previous years, but it was still very lively, with two more children at home.
They were a brother and sister whom Shangguan Lin brought back from his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors.
According to seniority, the siblings should call Shangguan Xue and her two sisters "aunt".
Their father died, their mother ran away, and their grandfather died in a mudslide, leaving only the two siblings to depend on each other for survival. Because they were too young, they relied on the kindness of others in the village for food, and they were thin, small, and pitiful.
The old village chief led them to Shangguan Lin, begging him to adopt the siblings.
Shangguan Lin had initially refused.
After all, the family had produced a son named Shangguan Xiong, whom the old man had adopted as a child, but who almost caused a major disaster.
Still shaken, Shangguan Lin discussed with the village chief that he would provide financial assistance to the two children, covering their future schooling and living expenses, and would not concern himself with anything else.
