Chapter 198 Breakup & Private Dishes
People say that if you stand in the right place, even a pig can take off!
In just over a month, Gu Qingyu and his colleagues went to Guangzhou six times to purchase goods. After they had almost cleared out the goods on hand, Gu Qingyu and his colleagues calmed down and counted the profits.
Everyone knew that they had made money, but after a careful calculation, the net profit was actually 120,000. Even Gu Qingyu himself did not expect it to be so much.
"Is this... really the money we earned after spending a month?"
"Qingyu, have you deducted the principal? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in the calculation?" Sun Lei asked Gu Qingyu with an expression of disbelief.
Chen Yuanchao, who was standing next to him, also couldn't believe the result and said to Gu Qingyu, "Yeah, Qingyu, do you want to recalculate it?"
Gu Qingyu looked at the two people opposite him helplessly and said, "I've counted it twice, how could I be wrong? It's exactly this much!"
After seeing Gu Qingyu repeatedly say that he hadn't made a mistake in his calculations, Sun Lei suddenly stood up excitedly and said to everyone, "Oh my god... we're rich!"
Chen Yuanchao said excitedly, "Yes... yes, I've made a fortune!"
When Gu Qingyu first recruited these two people to join the gang, they originally just wanted to help Gu Qingyu and earn some pocket money at the same time.
They didn't expect that they could earn so much in just over a month. How could they not be excited?
Gu Qingyu looked at the two people who were still in an excited mood and said helplessly, "Okay, let's be happy later. Let's divide the money first!"
When he heard about the money sharing, Sun Lei quickly came to Gu Qingyu, rubbing his hands together and saying excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Share the money!"
Even Chen Yuanchao, who is so reserved, joked, "I didn't expect that I'm a wealthy man now!"
After the money was divided, Gu Qingyu asked Sun Lei and Chen Yuanchao, "We have cleared out the goods we had. What are your plans next?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Lei said without hesitation, "Of course, just keep doing it!"
"Well... it's enough to have this unexpected fortune. I won't get involved in the future!" Chen Yuanchao refused cleanly and neatly.
Sun Lei was very puzzled when he heard this and asked, "Huh? Brother Chen, why don't you continue? Who would bite their hand because of too much money?"
Chen Yuanchao just smiled and didn't explain to Sun Lei's confusion. After all, he was not interested in this and he joined in to help Gu Qingyu raise funds.
At this time, Gu Qingyu suddenly said, "Actually... I don't plan to continue doing this anymore!"
As soon as Gu Qingyu finished speaking, Sun Lei and Chen Yuanchao looked at each other in confusion. They didn't expect Gu Qingyu to say this suddenly.
After all, it was Gu Qingyu who took the lead in this matter, and the relationship in Guangzhou was also established through Gu Qingyu's connections.
The situation is very good now, but Gu Qingyu suddenly announced that he would no longer participate in the subsequent matters. This is too strange!
Sun Lei looked at Gu Qingyu in confusion and asked anxiously, "Qingyu, why are you planning to give up too?"
"I've received my acceptance letter, and school is about to start. I've been busy since then, and I don't have the energy to deal with all this anymore!"
When they heard Gu Qingyu talking about the admission letter, Sun Lei and Chen Yuanchao no longer bothered to ask Gu Qingyu why he withdrew, and hurried forward to inquire about the admission result.
"What! The acceptance letter has arrived?"
"Where is it? Take it out and show us. Which school did you get into?"
Gu Qingyu looked at the two people who were even more excited than herself, and hurriedly took out the file bag next to her and handed it to them, letting them take a look for themselves.
Sun Lei saw that the university listed on the admission notice was actually Peking University, and said to Gu Qingyu in admiration, "Qingyu, awesome! Peking University!"
Chen Yuanchao put down the admission letter and congratulated Gu Qingyu, "Congratulations, Qingyu!"
"I spent a lot of money on buying a house and renovating it, and my wallet is empty, so I thought I could make some extra money before school starts to supplement my income."
"I didn't expect that after working so hard for over a month, we could actually earn so much. This far exceeded my expectations. I'm already very satisfied."
"It just so happens that after school starts, I want to focus my main energy on my studies, so I proposed to give up!" Gu Qingyu explained to the two people in front of him.
In an era when the average monthly salary was only 40 or 50 yuan, the money each of Gu Qingyu and his group received was almost the total income of an ordinary worker for more than ten or twenty years.
What's more, Gu Qingyu understood the development process of future generations and knew what the property she had would be worth in the future, so she was willing to give up.
Sun Lei looked at the two calm people in front of him and asked helplessly, "But, if both of you give up, what should I do?"
Looking at Sun Lei's expression, Gu Qingyu knew that the other party would not be able to give up such a huge profit for a while.
"Actually, you've already run this route five or six times, so you're familiar with the situation. If you want to continue, I can introduce you to my connections in Guang City!"
Sun Lei didn't expect Gu Qingyu to agree to give him his connections in Guangzhou so readily, but he couldn't make up his mind to go it alone for the time being.
"This...Qingyu, can you let me go back and think about it carefully before answering you?"
Gu Qingyu nodded after hearing this, "Well, it's okay, you can go back and think about it carefully, there's no rush anyway."
At this time, Chen Yuanchao said, "Qingyu, you have received the admission letter, shouldn't we come out to celebrate!"
Sun Lei was just hesitating whether to go it alone, but when he heard Chen Yuanchao's proposal, he immediately put the matter behind him.
"Of course we should. It just so happens that we have divided the money today. It's a double happiness. Why don't we go out and have something nice to eat, okay?" Sun Lei suggested to Gu Qingyu.
Gu Qingyu nodded in agreement and asked Sun Lei, "You decide where to go? I'll treat you!"
"I know a private restaurant. The chef's ancestor was a royal chef in the palace. He can cook authentic palace dishes. Do you want to go?"
Gu Qingyu asked in disbelief, "Really?"
"Really? I can't lie to you!"
Gu Qingyu didn't hesitate after hearing this and said to the two of them, "Then why are you hesitating? Let's go!"
The private restaurant is located in the suburbs of Beijing. It was converted from a two-courtyard quadrangle house. Sun Lei brought Gu Qingyu and Chen Yuanchao straight here.
Led by the waiter, they sat down in the private room. Gu Qingyu then asked the two people opposite, "Have you informed Mingzhu and Brother Zhou?"
"Don't worry, they've already been notified by phone. They should be on their way now!"
Gu Qingyu nodded when he heard this, then took the menu from the table and said, "As long as the notification is in place, let's order first!"
Several of them were now well-off and were generous in ordering dishes, not to mention that Zhou Weiguo and his four big men were there.
While waiting for someone, Zhang Lei suddenly told Gu Qingyu about what had happened in the Gu family recently.
"Qingyu. You haven't been back to see the Gu family since they returned to the capital. I'm afraid you don't know what's happening with your two younger brothers now, right?"
"Gu Dongsheng? Gu Beisheng?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingyu asked curiously, "What happened to them?"
"I don't know what connections these two guys have, but they've recently started secretly reselling steel and are doing very well. I have a feeling this is a bit shady!"
"Really?" Gu Qingyu frowned and looked at Sun Lei, asking uncertainly.
"Well, after I heard the news, I went to inquire about it again, and it's absolutely true!" Sun Lei nodded affirmatively at Gu Qingyu and said with certainty.
Sun Lei said to Gu Qingyu worriedly, "Why don't you take some time to go back and take a look? I'm afraid if something happens to them, it will implicate you!"
Chen Yuanchao suddenly said, "I think I know something about this matter!"
When Gu Qingyu saw Chen Yuanchao speaking at this time, for some reason, he suddenly thought of the Lin family.
Gu Qingyu looked at Chen Yuanchao meaningfully and asked, "Do you know something?"
"I've gotten some clues about what you asked me to find out before. The eldest brother of the Lin family has always had a confidante by his side. It is said that this woman even gave birth to a son for him."
"I found out that this lady and your stepmother are distant relatives. I think your two brothers may have lost their lives through this lady's connections."
"You mean...?" Gu Qingyu didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was very clear.
"Well, I think this is why Gu An persuaded Duan Xuezhi to come to you after you clearly refused."
"It is impossible for ordinary people to reach out and touch the steel. Otherwise, why would the other party give such a huge benefit to your two useless brothers!" Chen Yuanchao analyzed to Gu Qingyu.
Although Chen Yuanchao spoke tactfully, Gu Qingyu still understood that Gu An and Chen Qingxue were using her marriage to exchange benefits for their two sons.
"Great! I never thought that I, Gu Qingyu, would have such a role one day!" Gu Qingyu said hatefully.
Sun Lei was completely confused. He didn't understand why Chen Yuanchao mentioned the Lin family, nor did he understand why Gu Qingyu was so angry after hearing it.
"Qingyu, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
"I'll explain this to you later. Let Chen Yuanchao continue!" Gu Qingyu turned to Chen Yuanchao and asked, "Then how did they decide to target me?"
"I did some research. Lin Hwai-min's first wife passed away just two years ago, and this confidante of Lin Hwai-min has never been able to marry into the Lin family. It's said that his first wife's family didn't agree."
"Some time ago, the eldest son born to this first wife was reportedly in an accident and was seriously injured. He was not only disabled but also disfigured."
"So, this beauty whispered in Lin Juemin's ear, asking him to introduce a beautiful and talented woman to the young master!"
Gu Qingyu asked word by word, "So, Gu An pushed me out?"
"That's almost it, isn't it?" Chen Yuanchao replied.
Gu Qingyu was so angry after hearing this. As expected, that little bit of family affection was not worth mentioning in the face of interests.
Chen Yuanchao looked at Gu Qingyu's chest, which was heaving violently with anger, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"Good! I'm better than ever!" Gu Qingyu said gritting his teeth.
"Since Gu Anxian doesn't care about the feelings of his daughter, then I don't have to show mercy to them!"
"I want to see their expressions when they plan all this and then find out that all their efforts have been in vain!"
After Gu Qingyu finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and said to Sun Lei and Chen Yuanchao, "You guys sit down first, I'm going to go out and get some fresh air!"
The two of them could see that Gu Qingyu was probably in a bad mood, and they agreed with his idea of going out for some fresh air.
"Do you want us to accompany you?" Sun Lei asked worriedly.
Gu Qingyu refused and said, "No need, I'll just walk around the yard and come back later!"
Seeing this, the two stopped trying to persuade her and left Gu Qingyu to walk outside alone.
Gu Qingyu came to the corridor and sat down alone, staring at the little goldfish in the landscape fish pond.
In fact, her mood was much worse than what she had just shown in the private room.
It's funny to say that two people who have never spoken to each other since their divorce can actually put aside their past grudges and cooperate for the sake of interests to plan their daughter's lifelong affairs.
This is so ironic!
Originally thought that when she left Beijing, the two sides had reached a consensus that apart from the obligation of support, they would not interfere with each other!
It seems that she is too naive!
In this case, she needs to let Gu An and Duan Xuezhi know where her, Gu Qingyu's, bottom line is!
At this moment, a few voices were faintly heard from the other end of the corridor, "A Zhao, when did you come back?"
"I heard that your family wants to introduce you to a blind date. Is that true?" asked a young man's voice.
"Who told you that?" asked another deeper male voice.
"I heard it from my aunt. It seems that it was proposed by your father."
"Haha...you really can't wait!" the man said sarcastically.
As the two men walked further away, their voices became increasingly unclear, and one could only vaguely hear the younger man complaining about something.
Gu Qingyu didn't take this matter to heart. Her mood had calmed down at this time. She waited for Chen Mingzhu and the others to arrive, so she simply went back to the box.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Just as Gu Qingyu returned to the private room and sat down, Chen Mingzhu pushed the door open and came in noisily.
"Oh, who found this place? It's so hard to find!"
Sun Lei was unhappy when he heard this, "Hey! This place makes authentic imperial cuisine, so what if it's hard to find?"
"Oh, I thought you were the one who found it!" Chen Mingzhu said with sudden realization.
"Humph! When the food comes, you'll know whether it's worth coming here or not!"
While Sun Lei and Chen Mingzhu were arguing, Zhou Weiguo and the other three arrived at the box one after another.
After Gu Qingyu asked the waiter to serve the dishes, he stood up and said to everyone, "Thank you all for your hard work during this period. Today's meal is a reward for your hard work!" As he said that, Gu Qingyu raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Seeing this, everyone stood up and raised their glasses to drink the wine in them.
