The Old Bachelor

“Little Yuan, are you sure these people will become famous in the future?” Gu Qin hesitated for a long time but still asked. After Su Yuan told him that she wanted to set up an entertainment company, she gave him a list and asked him to find out all the information about these people in the shortest time possible. In the past few days, he had been investigating day after day, and he had finally gathered all the information on everyone on the list.

“Little Yuan, are you sure these people will become famous in the future?” Gu Qin hesitated for a long time but still asked. After Su Yuan told him that she wanted to set up an entertainment company, she gave him a list and asked him to find out all the information about these people in the shortest time possible. In the past few days, he had been investigating day after day, and he had finally gathered all the information on everyone on the list. However, he urged Su Yuan to get in touch with the people on the list. Most of these people either did not have proper jobs, were cattle herders, sheep herders, and even a pig killer!

Su Yuan happily closed the document. “Brother Gu Qin, the information you’ve found is correct. Next, you must sign all these people under the company’s name. You don’t have to worry about the money!” After saying that, she took out the bank card with the polished paint from her bag. “Take this card. There’s 2 million Yuan here. I’ll transfer more money to this card in the future.”

Gu Qin glanced at the card but did not take it. He looked at Su Yuan with a serious expression and asked, “Tell me the truth, where did you get so much money?”

Su Yuan pouted. “I can’t tell you for now. But don’t worry, it’s all clean money. I didn’t break the law.”

Seeing Gu Qin’s disbelief, Su Yuan stuffed the card into his hand. “Trust me, you won’t lose anything if you use this money to sign these people. In two years at most, all of them will become famous, and then they will help our company keep making money.

“Don’t look down on their current profession. Soon, the era of short video would arrive, and they would all become the top streamers in the industry. They could make a lot of money by taking on any advertisement and bringing goods with them.” Back then, these were all things that would happen in the future, and Su Yuan would never tell Gu Qin.

Gu Qin accepted the bank card doubtfully. The two chatted for a while, and the sky outside slowly darkened.

Su Yuan had already finished her iced star drink, and Gu Qin had no choice but to order another glass for her after she acted like a spoiled child.

This time, Gu Qin had specifically told the barista to put less ice. Su Yuan took the ice star and happily sucked on it. It was all water, not much ice. Her face was full of displeasure. “It’s not as good as the cup just now!”

“Give it to me if you don’t want it.” Gu Qin pretended to snatch it away, but Su Yuan quickly leaned back with the glass and dodged it.

Gu Qin did not continue to scare her. “Oh, right. I forgot to ask you. Where have you been staying the past few days?” He asked. “Didn’t you ask me to find you a house? Why don’t you need it anymore?”

Su Yuan returned to the table with the cup. “I’m now living with an uncle.”

“Uncle?” Gu Qin asked, puzzled.

Su Yuan nodded.

“The uncle you were talking about?”

“Yes,” Su Yuan replied.

“What? ” Gu Qin’s eyes narrowed. “So, the money in the card was also from that uncle?”

‘It’s finished! I seemed to have let it slip!’

Su Yuan’s brain worked quickly. “That’s right. That uncle of mine is old and single. He has no children. He has so much money that he doesn’t even have a place to spend it. He just contacted us recently and saw that my mother’s health wasn’t very good, so he took the initiative to bear the medical expenses for my mother’s treatment. When he heard that I wanted to start my own company, he gave me some money.”

Afraid that Gu Qin would overthink, Su Yuan added, “I wrote an IOU. When I earn enough money, I’ll return it to him with interest.”

She said it very seriously, and her eyes were clear. Gu Qin had no reason to doubt her. However, he just felt that something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on it.

EL Group

“President Mo, I’ve found out that the Madam went to see a man named Gu Qin. The two of them are now having coffee in a mall under EL’s banner.” Fu Wen showed his phone to Mo Ting.

In order to report the situation, the bodyguards took photos of Su Yuan and Gu Qin from various angles. Fu Wen had an impression of Gu Qin. They had met at the police station before. “President Mo, he’s her friend.”

Afraid that Mo Ting did not remember this person, Fu Wen was just about to remind him, but Mo Ting raised his hand and cut him off, “I know.”

Fu Wen blinked his eyes and finally understood. “That’s right, how could President Mo forget? This guy was his number one love rival. It was really difficult for his President Mo!”

Mo Ting expressionlessly flipped through the photos on his phone. There were a total of 5 photos, 3 from the front and 2 from the side. As he flipped to the last photo, Mo Ting’s hand froze. In the photo, Gu Qin was helplessly stroking Su Yuan’s hair. Su Yuan bit her straw and smiled mischievously.

Mo Ting’s heart ached, Little Yuan had never smiled at him with such an expression, “Did you find out what they said?”
