Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 35 一 Dinner

When the name ‘Everyday Taking Down Entertainment Company’ was announced, it shocked the domestic entertainment industry.

Many people didn’t believe it when they said that the domestic entertainment industry was in trouble before. But now, after seeing this一

It’s over.

Those who are trying to crack down on the domestic entertainment industry are already on their way.

Some netizens analyzed that they can’t quite figure out Ruan Yōu’s family background for the time being, but it can be said to be a wealthy family. This also explains why there are now a bunch of wealthy people gathered on Ruan Yōu’s Weibo page.

Eight out of ten people believe that during the high society banquet, Ruan Yōu’s excellent performance earned praise from the entire audience. Even those young ladies and wealthy young masters who have never chased after stars found it rare and interesting, and joined the trending topic together.

Fat Cat is now one of Ruan Yōu’s biggest fans, but she has not yet joined Ruan Yōu’s fan group.

When the internal rumor spread that “Fat Cat invested 500 million yuan in the entertainment company to make it bankrupt every day,” netizens trembled.

To be honest, they didn’t understand why the eldest lady of the top wealthy family, Gu Family, would help Ruan Yōu. Even if Ruan Yōu performed extremely well, it’s difficult to attract people from the Gu family, right?

There is only one explanation: Ruan Yōu herself is from the Gu family.

This thought flashed by, and no one took it seriously, treating it as a joke.

Ruan Yōu’s acquisition of a small company and her brother’s use of drones to humiliate others is indeed impressive, but it is definitely not at the same level as “Fat Cat who casually sent out several million” and “The Only Brother with top-notch merchandise that amazed the entertainment industry”.

This issue is thought-provoking. At the moment when people saw Fat Cat’s investment of 500 million yuan, the entire network suddenly had a feeling of “seeing the light through the clouds1.”

Got it, got it, finally understood!

一 Fat Cat and Ruan Yōu share common interests and hobbies in the entertainment industry.

It’s their hobby that gave them a common language!

Ruan Yōu changed the name of the company like this probably for fun, but even so, there are still many people following the company’s official social media account.

【Cheng Xin: If you can make an ordinary artist who is about to fade away suddenly become popular on the internet, then you must have some skills. I admire you.】

【Fat Cat: …】

Hao Yunjia’s success is purely due to good timing, favorable geography, and people’s support.

Before, Su Yue Entertainment focused on the film and television industry, and its subsidiary had a singer project. Its resources couldn’t compare to ordinary record companies, but on the other hand, the record companies didn’t think highly of Hao Yunjia at that time.

At that time, she had a strong online presence and was somewhat of an internet celebrity. Her singing skills were inexperienced due to a lack of professional training, and only Su Yue Entertainment was willing to sign her.

Su Yue Entertainment’s agent signed her mainly for her looks. Nowadays, countless singers in the entertainment industry become actors as long as they are popular. Who cares what they do? The company has several artists with good looks and a little bit of fame but not much acting ability. Acting skills can be developed later.

Hao Yunjia has been suppressing her emotions for so long, and has finally decided to quit the entertainment industry. Her fearless and sincere attitude in live variety shows has gained resonance and goodwill from many people. With this goodwill, she finally has a platform to showcase herself, and her unexpectedly beautiful singing voice in <The Only One> has fulfilled her original aspirations. This is also her last song before retiring from the industry. It is full of emotions and a sense of release, and she sings much better than before she debuted, which naturally earns her a lot of points.

There is a high level of discussion about her on the internet, and various resources and projects are pouring in.

【Cheng Xin: Hao Yunjia’s popularity among ordinary people is very good now, and she cherishes this opportunity.】

Ruan Yōu: …

It seems to be different from what she imagined.

【Cheng Xin: Other artists have now started to learn from her and show their true selves without hesitation during work.】

Ruan Yōu feels a bit strange.

【Cheng Xin: An actor who used to have a noble image has become a foolish son of a landlord, and a female actor who relied on her looks to make a living almost performed a stunt act on a show.】

【Cheng Xin: You have foresight and knew that there are hidden talents in your company.】

Ruan Yōu: …

Just take it as you’re praising me.

The first episode of <Who is the Actor> live variety show ended, and Yu Chi didn’t get the chance she wanted. The plot that was originally supposed to stun the audience by her in the novel was changed.

Yu Chi looked stiffly at this scene, not knowing why things had developed like this. It wasn’t until she saw the news online that she realized it was Ruan Yōu’s doing.

Ruan Yōu was very likely to have awakened to the consciousness of the novel and chose a better path for her artists under her label, avoiding the danger of being cannon fodder.

She immediately shared the news with Cheng Guyuan.

<Our Youth> is now like a dying fish on a chopping board, with a poor following. No matter how hard they try, for the next ten days, only existing fans will be watching.

There are quite a few viewers who come to watch the show as a joke. When they think about how they worked hard to follow the given character setting and script before the live broadcast, only to be laughed at by a group of viewers before the live broadcast, the process was too torturous. Yu Chi’s hands and feet were cold just thinking about it. She wanted to run away from <Our Youth> at all times.

In order to redeem herself, she participated in <Who is the Actor>. Although she didn’t make any mistakes this time, she didn’t get the recognition she deserved.

Yu Chi and Cheng Guyuan analyzed, “It is very likely that Ruan Yōu knows the plot and is using it to establish a relationship with the rich and powerful characters in the novel.”

The sudden help from Fat Cat, The Only Brother, and others can explain this.

Her ultimate goal is to compete for the inheritance rights in the wealthy family. With the entertainment industry being full of crises, there are someone like “Fat Cat” and Ruan Yōu’s strange company. If she continues to stay, who knows what they will do to cover up her limelight. Her popularity with the public will also decline, and her father, who has always valued reputation, will never allow such a thing to happen.

To change the current crisis, there is only one way for Yu Chi:

To withdraw from the entertainment industry.

To contact the family business in advance, use the known business plot to regain her father’s trust.

There is not much description of business in the novel, but every plot involving it has left a deep impression on Yu Chi.

. . . . .

When Ruan Yōu arrived at the Bozhan Group’s building carrying a thermos, she felt a lot of pressure.

The old butler said that Gu Fuchen had been preoccupied for the past two days and was very busy with work. He heard from Song Wen that Gu Fuchen had eaten very little in the company these past two days. The butler tried to bring him a midnight snack last night, urging him to eat, but Gu Fuchen only nodded perfunctorily before turning back to his work. He was so busy that he didn’t finish until 1:30 in the morning, and the study light was still on.

When the old butler went to check on him in the morning, the milk and meal from last night were still sitting there untouched.

Young Master Gu never listened to him, but he would always listen to Young Lady.

And that’s how this happened.

Ruan Yōu secretly asked Song Wen about the reason.

The response she received was that recently, Bozhan was busy with the acquisition of Yawei Automobile, which was the most important project for the company this quarter. As the successor of Bozhan, Gu Fuchen had to go through all the major and minor meetings, summaries, and detailed planning. He had no rest time at all.

Furthermore, Bozhan’s performance in the automobile industry had been poor for the past two years. Acquiring Yawei Automobile was a risky move, but if they didn’t do it, several other competing automobile companies would be waiting to do so.

This acquisition was a last resort and put even more pressure on them.

Holding the insulated bucket, Ruan Yōu sighed heavily.

Being overlord is not easy.

She wore a wide-brimmed hat and waited for Song Wen on the first floor.

This was Ruan Yōu’s first time coming to Bozhan. It was just lunchtime, and many employees crowded out, either holding hands and going out to eat together or taking their own takeaway from the shelves.

Ruan Yōu was unique today, wearing a pink coat with a beige knit sweater inside, looking youthful and pink.

She held a silver insulated bucket in her hand, with sunglasses, a mask, and a scarf on her face, making it hard for anyone to see her appearance. She inadvertently caught the attention of others.

一 Who is she?

Someone gestured to the front desk with their eyes.

The front desk weakly shook their head.

The identity was a mystery.

Song Wen ran down, panting, and stood in front of Ruan Yōu with a smile, saying, “Miss, this way to the elevator, President Gu hasn’t had lunch yet.”

As he spoke, he led her to the VIP private elevator.

After the two figures disappeared from sight, the employees on the first floor who were holding takeout and preparing to go out for lunch finally came back to their senses.

“Assistant Song called her Miss, is she President Gu’s younger sister?”

“Then she is our little half-boss.”

“Oh, It’s Fat Cat! President Gu defended her online last time, no wonder, turns out they are siblings.”

“Wow, the whole internet is guessing the identity of Fat Cat, thinking she’s just someone from the Gu family and has a good relationship with Gu Fuchen, but didn’t expect… she’s the eldest lady of the Gu family.”

“So mysterious, I haven’t seen what she looks like at all.”

“With a wealthy family, good sibling relationship, good taste and temperament, she must be beautiful. With the best script in hand, did Fat Cat bribe Nüwa2when she created humans?”

“If you’re talking about bribes, President Gu definitely did with that face of his. Nüwa’s own son, we’re just small potatoes.”

. . . . .

Gu Fuchen has been very busy in the last two days, but not mainly because of Yawei Automobile.

He accumulated the tasks for the next few days together and wanted to quickly finish them to go abroad to see his parents.

His mother previously said his father would be back in two days, but then it got delayed by another two days. When he proposed to have a video call with his father Gu Youqian, either his mother Ruan Liuyu would change the subject or say that Gu Youqian was resting and could not do a video call.

When he tried to say something else, he hung up the phone on the pretext of a doctor’s ward round.

These two people were keeping something from him.

Ruan Liuyu knew her son very well and knew that if things continued like this, Gu Fuchen would definitely become suspicious. So she made a video call to him at noon today.

In the video, Gu Youqian was sleeping in the hospital bed, no different from before, except that he had lost some weight and didn’t look well.

“We have had a bit of trouble in the last two days, but it’s nothing serious. Don’t worry, we will definitely be able to go home in a few days. How is the dinner plan and invitation card? Let me take a look,” Ruan Liuyu asked him while sitting on the sofa.

Everything in the room was arranged correctly, and all the details were no different from when Gu Fuchen last had a video call with them half a month ago, except…

Gu Fuchen had a serious look on his face and asked, “Mom, let’s not talk about that matter for now. I have a question.”

Ruan Liuyu smiled and asked, “Why so serious? What’s your question?”

“The room is decorated exactly like the previous hospital room. It’s very meticulous and well done, but Mom, what happened to our time difference?”

They had a 12-hour time difference with him, but now both of them were in broad daylight.

Ruan Liuyu rubbed her nose and was annoyed that she had forgotten about this matter. She sneakily glanced at her son’s face on the screen.

Seriously, very angry.

“Where are you guys?”

“In Marysue City,” Ruan Liuyu sighed.

“Ten days ago, your father couldn’t stand the hospital life anymore and insisted on coming back to hold a banquet for Yōuyōu. He said if he didn’t come back, others would make fun of Yōuyōu. You also know the situation of Uncle and other families. The Lu and Fu families are still fine, but some who don’t know the truth heard that the Gu family’s young miss returned but the banquet was delayed, so they couldn’t help but make some comments behind our backs. We all know that’s not the truth, but for them, your father and I not going back temporarily is the best evidence.

No matter what, they only believe what they see. Your father was in a hurry to see Yōuyōu, so he was discharged four days early. At first, his condition was fine when he got on the plane with the family doctor, but on the way back to Gu’s house after getting off the plane, there were some small problems. Suddenly, he felt palpitations and shortness of breath, and stayed at the central hospital for a few days. He suffered a bit, don’t mention it to him.”

Ruan Liuyu paused and added, “I’m your mother, so you can’t accuse me.”

Gu Fuchen: …

Knowing that he will get angry, they still went ahead and did it!

“Your health is your own, if you don’t cherish it, who will cherish it for you?”

“Ruanruan is living well at home. Even if we don’t see each other every day, we still see each other in the morning and evening. If father obediently listens to the doctor’s advice, there won’t be any problems like this.”

Ruan Liuyu knew that what she and Gu Youqian did was wrong, nodded repeatedly, and had a good attitude.

“You’re right, there won’t be a next time.”

“Mom and Dad have been lectured by you, don’t be angry anymore. I’ll relay your words to your father word for word.” Ruan Liuyu smiled. “My son is really smart. He can even sense the time difference.”

Gu Fuchen really wanted to roll his eyes, “Rainbow farts are useless.”

Ruan Liuyu said, “How could this be flattery? You and Yōuyōu are both excellent. Your father and I have seen what she did online, and it’s impressive.”

After a brief pause, Ruan Liuyu added, “The way she spends money is very impressive. Your father admires her.”

Gu Fuchen wanted to say something more, asking them to take care of themselves, but then Song Wen spoke on the phone and said that Ruan Yōu had come to bring him lunch.

Gu Fuchen: !!

Ruan Liuyu was a bit sour, “You have such a good relationship with Yōuyōu? You shouldn’t leave even a grain of rice after lunch, as it is a precious meal.”

Even through the screen, you could feel Ruan Liuyu’s sourness.

Gu Fuchen replied stiffly, “You can also eat it by following the doctor’s orders and not doing anything wrong.”

The joy that Ruan Yōu brought him by bringing him food was quickly suppressed by this thought.

Both of them were a hundred years old together and still didn’t know how to take care of their health.

Even elementary school students know to follow the doctor’s orders, but they don’t.

When Ruan Yōu came in, Gu Fuchen’s annoyance hadn’t disappeared from his face.

Ruan Yōu scratched her head.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Gu Fuchen glanced at the thermos in her hand and after a long silence, he sighed heavily and said in a low voice, “Ruanruan, someone very important to me is in the hospital in Marysue City. Can you accompany me to bring him dinner?”

Ruan Yōu was stunned.

It was a strange request coming from Gu Fuchen.

Gu Fuchen doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would ask her to accompany him to deliver food, let alone deliver it to someone she doesn’t know.

He rarely asks her to do anything, and Ruan Yōu agreed with a nod.

Today, the temperature in Marysue City dropped sharply, so Ruan Yōu went home to change into a warm down jacket.

The central hospital moved to the southern suburbs two years ago to expand its capacity. The new central hospital is very large, and there are many people coming and going at the hospital entrance.

Gu Fuchen didn’t go in.

He bought a bouquet of flowers in the flower shop across from the hospital and wrote a small line on the card, “Get well soon 一 Gu Fuchen,” while secretly glancing at the girl wandering around in the flower shop, unsure how to ask her to leave her name on it.

This is someone he knows, but she seems to have no right to do so.

After hesitating for a while, Gu Fuchen stood next to Ruan Yōu with the card in hand, “Ruanruan, this person seems to be your fan, can you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ruan Yōu understood instantly. She took the pen and card from Gu Fuchen and wrote below his line, “Wish…”

“Is he very old?”

“Yeah.”

Ruan Yōu continued writing with a serious expression.

After a while, there was an extra line on the card.

“Wishing you a speedy recovery, Ruan Yōu.”

Ruan Yōu even drew a cute little flower behind it.

Ruan Yōu felt a bit embarrassed as she watched Gu Fuchen repeatedly glance at the small flower on the card, “Is it too childish? Should I rewrite it?”

Gu Fuchen carefully put away the card, looked up at Ruan Yōu, and a fleeting hint of joy was hidden in his eyes, “He will like it very much.”

Ruan Yōu didn’t go to the hospital to deliver dinner with Gu Fuchen. She sat on a bench in front of the inpatient department waiting for him.

It was very cold in winter, and she wore a down jacket with a hat, hiding her face in the hat.

Lu Ming called her, “I just received the loving dinner from your family’s chef.”

Ruan Yōu smiled, “I arranged it with a nutritionist. Don’t tire yourself out during this period, and sleep is also essential.”

“I know.” Lu Ming heard the noisy crowd outside and asked curiously, “Aren’t you at home?”

“I came over with my brother to deliver food to people.”

Lu Ming asked a bunch of questions in confusion, “Your family delivers food and you have to go in person? Does your brother have to go too? Then where is he? Why are you outside?”

Ruan Yōu explained the situation, and Lu Ming didn’t know what to say.

Gu Fuchen asked her to accompany him and wait for him. How could she be so easily swayed?

“Then wait in the car or inside the building.”

Ruan Yōu honestly said, “There are too many people inside the building, and I’m afraid I’ll be recognized. I don’t want to go to the car. I want to stay here and see his emotions when he comes out.”

“What do you mean?”

“Gu Fuchen’s mood was very bad today. But he rarely shows his emotions in front of others. If he’s still unhappy when he comes out and starts to conceal it again when he sees me, it will be very uncomfortable.”

This is what happened when I brought him food at noon.

“You waiting here, what’s the use?”

Ruan Yōu said, “I can stay and see if he needs comforting later.”

Lu Ming felt Ruan Yōu’s change in attitude in an instant, no longer a stumbling block between her and her family, and said, “Be careful not to catch a cold. Drink some ginger Coke when you get home.”

“I know,” Ruan Yōu replied.

When Gu Fuchen came out, his face was gloomy and his eyes were a little red.

He obviously didn’t expect to see Ruan Yōu here and lowered his head, frowning. “Why didn’t you go back to the car?”

“I wanted to feel the breeze.” Ruan Yōu approached him and spoke softly, “Is something wrong?”

“No.” Gu Fuchen exhaled lightly, his white breath disappearing into the air. “When I went up, he was undergoing a reexamination and saw the scar from the surgery.”

It was a long and terrifying scar, with blood on the bandage that wrapped around it.

Gu Youqian and Ruan Liuyu didn’t mention this, and he didn’t expect to see such a scene.

Gu Fuchen knew that the surgery was very painful and had been mentally prepared, but even with preparation, seeing his father weakly lying on the hospital bed still made his nose feel sour.

With everything like this, he still wants to go back.

Ruan Yōu whispered, “After he gets through these few days, he’ll have a brand new life.”

Gu Fuchen nodded, and saw Ruan Yōu’s face buried in the hood of her down jacket. He quickly took off his scarf and gave it to her. “Let’s go home first.”

Once the parents get through this period, their whole family can be reunited.

Ruan Yōu ran after him with her hands in her pockets. On the 10th floor of the inpatient department, Ruan Liuyu stood by the window, looking down as the two figures grew smaller in the distance.

“The dinner that Yōuyōu brought me, I can eat a big bowl of it,” said Gu Youqian, full of energy. He glanced at his secretly grieving wife and smiled, “You can go home.”

Ruan Liuyu turned back, puzzled.

“We’ve been busy abroad for so long, which is abnormal. You go back to see Yōuyōu, and I’ll be back soon,” said Gu Youqian with a smile. His body was still weak and his voice was a bit weak when he spoke, but his attitude was firm. “Tomorrow, you’ll go back.”

Ruan Liuyu sighed lightly, “The day after tomorrow.”

She would go back to see Yōuyōu and then come back.

She couldn’t leave the mischievous Gu Youqian alone in the hospital room.

In the car, Ruan Yōu occasionally stole glances at Gu Fuchen. After hesitating for a while, she opened the WeChat chat box with his mother, Ruan Liuyu.

【What hobbies does my brother have besides work?】

【Cat acting cute.GIF】

Ruan Liuyu replied almost instantly.

【He doesn’t have any particular favorites; usually, after work, he’ll go to dinner with a few friends to hang out.】

“Dinner?”

Ruan Yōu tried to find a way to make her melancholic brother happy.

“Hanging out with a few friends…”

Ruan Yōu had a rough idea in mind.
