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

Chapter 37 一 Travel Expenses.

Feeling the scorching gaze of Qi Zhiyan, Ruan Yōu smoothed out the corners of her mouth.

Indeed, she couldn’t appear too happy.

Ruan Yōu pretended to be serious, but the slight curve of her lips betrayed her, “Businessmen emphasize information exchange between each other. You should be accustomed to this, right?”

After finishing speaking, she nodded seriously.

“These are things I learned from following you guys,” Ruan Yōu reassured.

一 It was the deep-minded heirs of your business circle who influenced her; she did not have many ideas of her own.

Qi Zhiyan: …

If she couldn’t see the slight upward curve of Ruan You’s lips and the bright apricot eyes, Qi Zhiyan could have deceived herself into thinking that this was a serious and fair exchange of information.

Now, she just wanted to say: “If you want to laugh, just laugh.”

It was uncomfortable to hold it in.

Ruan Yōu’s lips curved into a smile, her plump and beautiful apple cheeks looked like round and juicy peaches that were so red they could be bitten.

She stuffed the invitation into her palm, “Be sure to come this Saturday.”

Qi Zhiyan remained silent and glanced at Yu Chi below, indicating that she should continue speaking.

Ruan Yōu picked up the tablet that Qui Zhiyan had just used and showed her two news articles and a video.

【Yu Family acquires commercial land in Chunning District Economic Development Zone.】

【Yu Chi announces retirement in a high-profile manner, Yu Father shares it.】

“As far as I know, Yu Chi has an average relationship with his family. This video is a documentary of Yu Father from earlier years, where he was unwilling to listen to advice from company shareholders during a conversation and was obstinate, suspicious, and highly concerned with status and face. He was also a typical chauvinist.

Not long ago, Yu Chi made a big joke on a campus variety show. Yu Father cannot be unaware of this. Although Yu Father’s repost did not say anything else, his attitude has already shown to the public that no matter what Yu Chi does in the entertainment industry, he is still a member of the wealthy Yu family. He allowed her to do so for a reason. And the Yu family acquired commercial land first, and Yu Chi’s retirement followed.”

Since announcing the development of Chunning District Economic Zone, it has been the focus of attention within the industry. Most people are watching and waiting to see who will be the first to reach out to the commercial circle in Chunning District.

It’s easy to talk about the several pieces of residential land that Ruan Yōu bought; they can be developed into residential areas, and land prices are expected to rise. However, commercial land is different, it requires foot traffic.

Residential areas can be built in remote locations, but eating, drinking, and entertainment cannot.

Yu Family’s bold move is related to Yu Chi.

Yu Chi awakened her consciousness of the novel and now it’s clear that she wants to end her entertainment career early and go on the right path.

She wants to retire from the entertainment industry and gradually establish her position in her father’s heart.

“You mean, Yu Chi had her father take that piece of land,” Qi Zhiyan frowned, “but there is no reason for her father to believe her.”

Ruan Yōu pulled up a Weibo hot search.

#A mysterious figure makes crazy profits of 100 million yuan in the stock market#

With a principal of 80 million yuan, she earned 100 million yuan in seven days.

“Is this Yu Chi?”

Ruan Yōu nodded, “That piece of commercial land is worth 200 million yuan.”

Yu Chi, the female protagonist who awakened her consciousness, first demonstrated her talent in front of her father by using her consciousness to invest in the stock market. After receiving her father’s approval, she suggested that her father focus on the economic development zone.

The development of Chunning District is three years ahead of the timeline in the novel.

This should be the butterfly effect.

As a cannon fodder character in the novel, she changed some of the plot, causing the main storyline to deviate and the plot to become chaotic. She bought an elderly care company and received one billion yuan investment from Bozhan, which more or less showed the new business opportunities in Chunning District to the Marysue City.

It is unclear what is driving all of this specifically, but the only thing that can be confirmed is一

Yu Chi is now targeting the entire Gu family.

In the novel, after announcing the redevelopment of Chunning district in the Marysue City, Bozhan bought the two largest commercial plots of land, one to build a CBD shopping center and the other to build a cinema.

Later on, with the support of favorable policies in Chunning district and the rapid development of the neighboring Long Aotian City, which relied on its port and policies, Bozhan’s shopping center became one of the three most profitable shopping centers in the entire Marysue City.

In other words一

what Yu Chi is now snatching is the future industry of the Gu family.

Ruan Yōu believes in Gu Fuchen’s decision-making ability.

When the development zone was established in the novel, Gu Fuchen did not hesitate to organize the group to purchase commercial land for development. Not doing so now could be because the neighboring Long Aotian city is still in a pitiful growth phase and has not yet developed into the “I control my destiny, even if the heavens want to destroy me I will destroy the heavens” cool and awesome Long Aotian city as seen in TV dramas.

The development level of all parties is not enough.

At best, it can be considered a growth period, still quite far from the mature period in a few years.

Starting the commercial planning of Chunning district now is slow in development, with a low economic return rate. It would be more beneficial to spend the money elsewhere.

What Ruan Yōu is concerned about now is not Bozhan or making money, but the Gu family.

In the novel, there were so many opportunities in front of Yu Chi, but she chose to focus on the Gu family’s business. It was obvious that she intended to cultivate her strength and wait until later in the novel to directly overthrow the Gu family, who were blocking her from becoming the wealthiest person.

Also, in the novel, the Bozhan Group, the top wealthy family Gu Family, and Gu Fuchen were all unbeatable peaks for the original male and female leads. As background and later antagonists, they had strong power that the protagonists could not surpass. In the end, it was the internal power struggles within the Gu family that caused the family to collapse, allowing the two main characters to rise to the top by stepping on the Bozhan and Gu Family.

This way of reaching the pinnacle of life has never been convincing, and now that Yu Chi has awakened her consciousness of the novel, how could she allow such a method to exist? Naturally, she must openly defeat Bozhan and ascend to the position of the wealthiest person.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yōu’s alarm bell rang loudly.

This matter must be handled well.

Qi Zhiyan patted Ruan Yōu’s head, pulling her back from her contemplation.

“Does the Yu family want to build a shopping center on that piece of land?”

Qi’s family is engaged in the fashion and beauty industry, with a wide range of beauty brands, from top luxury to second and third-tier brands. Moreover, Qi’s family cooperates with many foreign clothing industries and has won the agency rights of those companies in China.

Ruan Yōu said that Yu Chi’s participation in the auction was related to her, and buying commercial land to build a shopping center was the only answer Qi Zhiyan could think of.

Ruan Yōu nodded like a pecking chicken.

“She is probably going to buy the painting that your grandfather likes and give it to you or directly give it to your grandfather.”

Qi’s family holds agency rights for several top luxury brands, making them a major player in the industry. If someone wants to build a luxurious shopping destination by inviting brands not available in other centers, working with the Qi family is necessary. Bozhan can easily collaborate with them, but the Yu family, who do not hold a high position, can only establish connections by giving gifts. Therefore, to collaborate with the Qi family, the Yu family must rely on gift-giving to establish connections.

Ruan Yōu found Qi Zhiyan for two reasons. The first was for the picnic invitation, which was the most important thing. The second was to sabotage the cooperation between the Yu and Qi families.

It wasn’t revenge. She just wanted to give Yu Chi a warning.

一If it’s not meant to be hers, then it’s not hers in the end.

Don’t think of the Gu family as a springboard or a target that must be destroyed to lead her to the pinnacle.

Since she awakened her consciousness as a character in a novel, there were countless ways to deal with Yu Chi. If she didn’t want to cause trouble with her and the Gu family, and chose a different way to reach the pinnacle, Ruan Yōu wouldn’t bother with her.

Developing the company with honesty and integrity, even if she could become the world’s wealthiest person by relying on her golden finger, Ruan Yōu would still be excited for her and give her a thumbs up after seeing the economic headlines.

After all, it’s bringing glory to the country and enhancing its reputation, and it’s worth giving a thumbs up even if she doesn’t have a gift.

The conflicts between her and the male and female leads have already been settled in the waves of variety shows and the entertainment industry. If they don’t stir up trouble, they will both go their separate ways.

Ruan Yōu doesn’t want to be tangled up with the male and female protagonists all the time.

She still has a lot of money waiting to be spent, so how could she waste her wonderful retirement time on trivial and headache-inducing business struggles?

On the first floor, the auction was intensifying with bidding wars.

While Ruan Yōu was talking with Qi Zhiyan, the auction downstairs reached the <Hundred Miles of Rivers and Mountains> painting that Qi Zhiyan wanted.

As expected, Yu Chi raised the price.

Ruan Yōu said: “No need to compete with her and waste money. I have a better way, we don’t need this painting.”

Qi Zhiyan raised her eyebrows.

Ruan Yōu whispered something in her ear. Her warm breath made Qi Zhiyan feel uneasy and she moved away slightly.

Ruan Yōu looked at her with confusion and then earnestly said something. Qi Zhiyan patiently listened to her.

“Okay, but I don’t have the time.”

“I’ll go for you~” Ruan Yōu said with a smile.

She hadn’t left the country since returning home. Her mother would return tomorrow, and she would immediately fly abroad. After the auction, she would fly back and arrive tomorrow morning.

The time seemed tight, but she could sleep on the private plane, and there was nothing worth getting tired over.

Qi Zhiyan looked at her again, lowered her head, and wrote a check for ten million yuan.

“For your travel expenses.”

After some thought, she added, “I heard that food delivery services now charge travel fees. You have to go quite far, is this price okay?”

Ruan Yōu: …?

Ten million yuan, just one shout outside and little yellow and little blue1 will come rushing towards you from two blocks away.

This travel expenses was incredible!

Let’s go, let’s go meet the lost antiques abroad and bring them home!
