ABCFWGR Chapter 58: Lui Han Yan's Acting Skills
Start a company?
Wu Anqi was shocked. Could it be that Lui Han Yan was telling the truth just now?
Could she really intend to disrupt the building materials industry?
"Miss Lui!"
Wu Anqi weakly called out.
Lui Han Yan turned back and smiled at her, not explaining anything, but looked at Gu Chen and said, "After this period of investigation, I feel that the pharmaceutical and real estate industries are more suitable for my development."
"You've finished your investigation, so why are you consulting me? Besides, I know nothing about business. Maybe even less than what Wu Anqi knows," Gu Chen said, not knowing what she was up to.
But Wu Anqi guessed roughly what was going on and wore a deep look of secrecy.
Both pharmaceuticals and real estate were the foundation of the Chen family's standing. Lui Han Yan's target was clear.
For a moment, she was somewhat glad she didn't confront her just now. Otherwise, in addition to pharmaceuticals and real estate, she might have added the construction industry.
"No, no, no."
Lui Han Yan waved her index finger and said, "Although you don't understand business, you understand medicine, and your medical skills are unparalleled, even surpassing the Eternal Immortal Doctor."
"So... I want to invite you to be the CEO of my pharmaceutical company."
After speaking, she blinked her charming eyes at Gu Chen.
A look that said she was trying to seduce him.
"..."
Hearing this, Gu Chen frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
He couldn't help but recall his experience working at the Chen Pharmaceutical Company a while back. Although it was only a few days, it gave him a taste of the cutthroat nature of the workplace.
To be honest, he was a naive and freedom-loving man who didn't want to be constrained by anything.
Wait a minute!
Gu Chen suddenly looked up. "Lui Han Yan, why are the two industries you're getting into the same as the ones the Chen family is in? Is this intentional?"
Finally, he figured it out!
Wu Anqi quietly rolled her eyes.
But fearing Lui Han Yan, she didn't dare to openly express it and could only silently mock her in her heart.
"Gu Chen, am I that kind of person in your eyes?"
Lui Han Yan sniffed, as if on the verge of tears. "I'm the young miss of the Lui family. Do I need to bother a small family like yours? The reason I chose these two industries is because I see potential in them."
This acting... tsk tsk!
Wu Anqi was stunned, feeling that even if she and Yu Wei joined forces, they might not be a match.
If even she felt overwhelmed, what about the innocent youth Gu Chen?
"Don't cry, I didn't say anything. I just proposed a possibility," Gu Chen hurriedly explained.
Lui Han Yan smirked cunningly for a moment before returning to her normal demeanor. She sniffed and said, "So, does that mean you've agreed to take on the role of CEO?"
When did I agree?
Gu Chen was almost confused by her words and denied, "I didn't agree to anything."
"Even if you want to refuse, you still need a reason, right?" Lui Han Yan looked at him.
A reason?
Gu Chen thought of Chen Yuwei's appearance and said, "I just resigned from the Chen Pharmaceutical Company, so joining your pharmaceutical company would cause gossip."
"Heh!"
Lui Han Yan chuckled lightly. "Do you think I believe that? Are you someone who cares about rumors?"
"I don't care, but if you don't have a valid reason, you have to help me, otherwise, it's discrimination, and I won't let you off the hook."
In the end, she even started acting spoiled.
With such a beautiful woman pouting like that, even Wu Anqi, as a woman herself, found it hard to resist.
Too enchanting!
If she lived in ancient times, she would definitely be a calamity to the country and the people, ranking alongside Daji of King Zhou and Bao Si of King You.
"Before, I went to the Chen family to please Aunt Jiang."
Gu Chen didn't want to argue with her and could only push the blame onto Aunt Jiang.
"Hmph, hmph..."
Lui Han Yan let out a series of cold laughs, which made Gu Chen and Wu Anqi shudder.
"I see, you just don't like me, so you're making up such a lame excuse to avoid helping me. Forget it, I was wrong to have hoped for your assistance."
"If you don't want to help me, I understand. After all, the waters of the Lui family run deep. But now, I just want to rely on your medical skills to help my company establish itself in Lin'an, and you refuse!"
"Perhaps I'm destined to be a sacrifice for the family."
Lui Han Yan's eyes seemed to genuinely well up with tears, whether it was an act or genuine emotion.
Such a pitiful appearance.
It made Wu Anqi, if she hadn't been present the whole time, almost think that Gu Chen was a heartless man.
"Don't be like this, I'm not refusing to help you..."
Gu Chen hadn't finished his sentence when Lui Han Yan interrupted, "So, you agreed to help me?"
Sigh!
Although he knew she was pretending, she was still his good friend's younger sister.
Even if it was for the sake of her brother, Gu Chen felt a twinge of pity and reluctantly nodded, "But only for the pharmaceutical company, I won't get involved in anything else."
"Alright, it's a deal!" Lui Han Yan smiled happily.
Although there was an element of acting just now, there was also some truth to it. Women from big families often faced the fate of being sacrificial lambs.
This was also the reason why she had been seeking Gu Chen's help all along; she didn't want to succumb to fate.
No one should succumb to fate.
Even if their fate had been predetermined since birth.
"As for setting up the company, you don't need to worry, I've already arranged for someone to handle it."
"However, as the young miss of the Lui family, I'll be hosting a banquet, and you must attend."
Lui Han Yan was making arrangements quickly.
"That's no problem. As long as it's a reasonable request, I'll try my best to meet it," Gu Chen said.
Lui Han Yan became even happier and turned to Wu Anqi, saying, "And Miss Wu, please grace us with your presence as well. I'll have someone send the invitation to your home."
"..."
Wu Anqi was stunned for a moment, thinking that she wouldn't be invited, especially since the two of them were now rivals.
But then she happily agreed, "Of course, for Miss Lui's sake, I must attend!"
The banquet hosted by the young miss of the Lui family would undoubtedly be grand.
Even just one collaboration could sustain her family's Wu Building Materials Company for half a year. Even if there was no collaboration, meeting a few big shots would still be beneficial.
No matter how you looked at it, it was all benefit and no harm.
Afterwards, the two happy women left the luxurious Qiong Lou Yu Yu together.
Actually, Wu Anqi didn't want to leave, but seeing that Lui Han Yan had something to attend to and having just accepted her favor, Wu Anqi felt embarrassed to linger, so she had no choice but to leave together.
The two of them could be considered to have entered a temporary honeymoon period.
In the evening.
The two old men, Wu Ji Xian Yi and Qi De Dao, came to visit independently.
"Master, this is the Spring Rain painting from the last auction. The father and daughter couldn't afford to pay for it, so it was left behind. Knowing that you knew them, we specially brought it here for you to dispose of as you wish," Qi De Dao respectfully handed over the scroll.
It should be mentioned that Qi De Dao was an extremely respectful and obedient disciple.
This was something even Gu Chen couldn't deny.
"Thank you, just put it down," Gu Chen smiled kindly.
Following that, Wu Ji Xian Yi, with a worried expression, said, "Mr. Gu, to be honest, I've encountered some trouble and came to ask for your help. I hope you can lend a hand."
