Chapter 127
After Gu Bai received the document, he checked it repeatedly.
[System, is this the document you are talking about? ]
The system scanned it and found that it was generally correct, but some details seemed to be wrong.
On second thought, since I stole it in advance this time, some minor differences should be fine.
【No problem.】
Gu Bai was ecstatic, his eyes flashing with ambition to win.
Lin Yirou: "Abai, I did it."
Gu Bai couldn't control his arrogant laughter.
People around watched curiously.
Gu Bai: "You are really 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 a state of confusion, and he was already thinking about how to make Lin Yirou shut up forever.
"I will give you a grand wedding, let you marry me with honor, and never let you be 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 at home for the next few days and don't go anywhere. I will contact you after I finish this matter."
Lin Yirou nodded: "Okay."
Gu Bai: "Then I'll go first. There's 100,000 yuan in the card. You can use it first. If you can't contact me, it may be that I'm too busy. Don't think too much."
After saying this, 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 not be concealed and there were even related reports on the Internet. Although there was no formal media announcement and they were all just rumors, 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 particularly 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 has already promised that he is safe and nothing will 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 lady in the upper class, and enjoy wealth and glory.
Lin Yirou was thinking about the future with hope, but at the same time she felt a little uneasy. This uneasiness reached its peak when she couldn't get through to Gu Bai.
Gu Bai himself was in a state of panic.
He had expected the Nan Group to call the police, but the problem was that uncontrollable factors beyond his plan emerged.
Originally, he planned to take care of Lin Yirou first, and after the police's investigation was fruitless, he would slowly wait for the market opportunity, and then expose the rumor that Nan's Group had lost important confidential documents on the Internet to create panic. At the same time, he would team up with small shareholders of Nan's Group to short the stock price at a discount through block transactions. However, he did not expect that the news would reach the market in advance.
Not to mention that we haven't gathered enough chips yet, and the cost of taking action at this time will be much higher. The cost 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 took out a high-interest loan of 300 million from an institution that specializes 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.
In addition, Gu Bai must also get rid of Lin Yirou at the same time. The Li family is his last resort, and he must get it and must not be affected in any way.
Another three days passed. Except for a rapid drop on the first day when the news broke, the share price of Nan Group quickly stabilized and even showed a tendency to break through and rise.
Nan Tao doesn't know much about the operation 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 in the past few days, as soon as the stock market opened, I kept 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 recently?"
Yu Xue: "That's true. I don't know much about this, but 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 one?"
Yu Xue said mysteriously, "Guess? We ate it before, this time it's just a sequel."
Nan Tao became interested, "It can't be from the Li family?"
Yu Xue: "Yes, it's his. 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 was dumped and couldn't get in touch with Gu Bai, she was unwilling to accept the fact, so she took the initiative to go to Gu's house to look for someone. It happened that the Li family was at Gu's house, and the two families discussed 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 his 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 taken away by force to have an abortion."
Nan Tao was stunned. "So cruel?"
Yu Xue: "It's more than that. I heard that someone almost died from heavy bleeding in the operating room. It took twelve hours of rescue work in the emergency room to save a life. Now the person is awake, but he keeps crying and won't talk."
Nan Tao: “It’s too tragic.”
Yu Xue: "This is not the worst, there are worse things to come."
Nan Tao probably guessed it, "Go on."
Yu Xue sighed and shook her head. "She was so unlucky that even drinking cold water got stuck in her teeth. She was beaten when she went to her husband's house. She had a forced abortion and almost died from heavy bleeding. She was arrested by the police the moment she woke up. How unlucky is that?"
Nan Tao: "It's really pitiful, so we should be kinder."
Yu Xue: "Having a miscarriage is a result of one's own actions. I just don't understand what illegal thing she did and why the police arrested her."
Nan Tao coughed lightly, "I didn't tell you about something I had to keep secret before. 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 is so brave that she doesn't care about her life? She can do such a thing."
Nan Tao shrugged, "It was because of love and greed that she 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 was 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. There must be evidence to prove it."
Yu Xue: "Gu Bai is a piece of shit. He was the mastermind, but when something went wrong, he let the 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 the nine-year compulsory education.
Nan Tao sighed that without her son by her side, she would probably never have the fun of watching melons again.
A lot happened during this week.
After Lin Yirou was arrested, Gu Bai was always in a state of panic and had various arguments with the system.
The system was also in trouble. It paid such a huge price to attack the Nan Group's surveillance system, but in the end it was completely useless. Who would have thought that Nan Bo was such a coward that he even used his mobile phone as a camera in the office? Not even a genius could have thought of such a trick. It could only give up Gu Bai, this chess piece, helplessly.
Gu Bai couldn't contact the system, and was worried about the Gu family's 60 million and the 300 million in high-interest loans. 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, Gu's mother's hair turned white overnight, and Gu Xuan took over the Gu family. Naturally, Li Qiuyu broke off the engagement with Gu Bai.
Gu Bai was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment for the crimes of infringing on trade secrets and attempted murder, but this sentencing took place half a year later.
After Lin Yirou and Gu Bai were both imprisoned, Nan Tao felt relieved of a huge burden.
At least eldest brother's problem has been solved, and his relationship with Lu Yao is back on track. I heard from eldest brother that if he works harder, he will be able to bring Lu Yao home for the New Year this year.
After Yu Ze went to school, Nan Tao also became busy with work.
First, we acquired two fashion resources. The market feedback was good and many endorsement offers came to us one after another.
In addition to these, the most important thing is that director Le and the crew have started filming, and the name of the movie has also been decided, which is called Chang'an Inn.
Since joining the crew, Nan Tao has never left. She eats, wears and lives in the crew. She either shoots scenes or plays opposite Jiang Hui all day long. Her life is busy and fulfilling.
The only surprise was that my special abilities were awakened.
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 has a corresponding rating.
Nan Tao was very curious at first. While filming in the crew, she enjoyed looking at the melons on people's heads.
The entertainment industry is worthy of being the entertainment industry. The quantity and degree of explosion of gossips are several times stronger than those of ordinary people.
For example, the one who plays the maid is having an affair with the head of the production, and the one lying dead is also having an affair with the head of the production. Not only do these two know each other's existence, they are also jealous of each other. And the third male lead actually has a sponsor, the male kind, and the fourth female lead is cheating on six people at the same time, and...
What surprised Nan Tao the most was that she saw from 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 really were related by blood.
It’s just that I couldn’t find the right opportunity at the moment, so I can only look for an opportunity after the filming of the movie is finished.
Three months later, the early autumn of September has turned into the winter of December, and the filming of Changan Inn has finally been completed.
The general shooting period for art films and costume movies on the market is 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's wrap party, Nan Tao kept looking for opportunities to talk to Jiang Hui about Zhan Li, but was interrupted by others 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 the future 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 film and strive for good box office results.
This kind of cultural and artistic work can usually get 100 million at the box office, which is considered good. After all, the main purpose is to win awards, and a high box office is naturally the icing on the cake.
All major movie box office statistics software estimate that Chang An Inn's box office is around 150 million, mainly considering the popularity of Jiang Hui and Nan Tao.
To everyone's surprise, the pre-sale box office of Changan Inn actually sold 80 million, far exceeding everyone's expectations.
After Changan Inn was officially released, the box office on the day was also very impressive. As of 12:00 p.m., the cumulative box office had reached 180 million, 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 employees of the group to visit Changan Inn for free. This caused heated discussions on the Internet, and netizens were curious about the reason.
Some people even associated Nan Tao with the Nan Group, but the related comments were quickly suppressed and the discussion became less heated.
It is already late December, the coldest time of winter.
Nan Tao had a rare moment of free time, so she lay on the rocking chair and basked in the sun lazily.
The bright and beautiful light shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto my body, just like a sleeping beauty waiting to be awakened by the prince's kiss.
Half asleep and half awake, my cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting my beautiful dream.
Nan Tao rubbed her eyes sleepily, and said in a hoarse voice, "Hello?"
Lin Hong: "Are you sleeping? I got you a script, it's a gay drama with two male protagonists."
Nan Tao: "TV series?"
Lin Hong: "Yes, the script has 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 good. The only thing I am worried about is that playing the female lead in a gay drama will not be pleasing. I have accepted the script first, but I am still hesitating. I would like to ask for your opinion."
Nan Tao asked lazily, "Who are the male protagonists?"
Lin Hong: "Gu Xuan, Qiu Jun."
Nan Tao sat up straight, "Who? I picked up."
Lin Hong: "...won't you read the script?"
