I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 255 System, you call Xu Hongdou Zhao Ling'er?
It took Gu Yifan a long time to realize what had happened.

When Mingming first arrived, everyone ignored him, but now they all gather around him.

"Is this 'Under One Person' really written by you, brother?" someone asked curiously, seemingly a big shot in the comic book industry whom Guan Gu had praised.

"I've also written 400,000 words of plot, which is about half of it. I haven't figured out the rest of the plot yet," Gu Yifan nodded.

He didn't forget to write even during his military training.

other side:"???"

Everyone: "???"

"Damn, that's awesome, bro."

"Amazing! With this kind of perseverance, you can succeed no matter what."

The crowd gasped in surprise, some teasing, others expressing astonishment and emotion.

"Then why did Teacher Du Jun say that?" someone asked at this point.

"I drew the first draft and asked my senior brother to help me refine it. He can be considered my partner."

After learning what had happened, Gu Yifan wasn't angry. He spoke naturally with a smile, trying to smooth things over for Du Jun.

After all, to be fair, what he did was... cough cough, plagiarism, so how can you call it plagiarism?

Learn from it, learn from it.

As long as we can quickly resolve the manpower shortage in the comic studio and start animation and game production as soon as possible, that will be enough.

Under One Person was Gu Yifan's first battle. If he fought it well, it would show that he had foresight, acted decisively, and dared to think and act.

That way, you can grow bigger and stronger, continuously releasing new comics, new animations, and even games.

If we lose, it will be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.

If the business fails, Gu Yifan will only have...
Well, I'll obediently become the son-in-law of the Lin Group, marry Lin Wanyu who inherits billions in assets, and have children. That'll be enough to make ends meet.
Ugh, the life of a live-in son-in-law sounds so dull and boring.

I wonder if I'll get bullied.

Does anyone know the answer? I'm worried and anxious, waiting online.

So as long as the senior brother can recruit people, there won't be a problem.

"Our senior brother is, after all, a veteran in the comic book industry, with great fame and prestige, so we decided to play a joke on you all. Sorry."

After Gu Yifan explained, everyone understood.

After all, not everyone has the time to mentor newcomers; many see them as potential competitors and are already doing a good job if they don't cause them trouble.

Among the crowd, some cartoonists who had decisively rejected Gu Yifan were now somewhat embarrassed.

Dude, your comic is so awesome, but you didn't say so.

Du Jun reluctantly gave himself a way out and nodded in agreement.

However, Du Jun saw the beautiful cartoonist who had just been flirting with him.

She ran to Gu Yifan's side again.

"Teacher Gu, could we add each other on QQ? We can keep in touch more often. I'd like to ask you for some creative advice privately."

Du Jun's gaze towards his 'good junior brother' Guan Gu was now filled with murderous intent.

His child's stepmother is gone!
Today, he vows to act as the senior disciple, on behalf of their master, to expel this disrespectful, unruly, and morally bankrupt junior disciple from the sect!

If there weren't so many people around, Du Jun would definitely have used his scissor kick to crush Guan Gu's head.

The excitement is over.

The few people who were interested in joining left their contact information.

Mu Wei also made an appointment with Gu Yifan to meet next week to discuss the terms of their employment.

The others returned to their previous state, gathering in small groups and chatting amongst themselves.

However, every now and then, people would turn their attention to Gu Yifan.

Clearly, the chat content was also related to what had just happened.

"Guan Gu, Senior Brother, I'll be leaving now."

Gu Yifan said to Guan Gu and his senior brother, who were in a cold war.

There's a buffet lunch at noon during the exchange meeting, so he doesn't plan to eat there.

Gu Yifan planned to call Empress Qin to ask about her moving, since he had promised to help her move last time.

In the past few days, Gu Yifan has also been in contact with Qin Yumo.

Empress Qin went from being embarrassed and apologetic to being warm, proactive, and quite interesting in her speech.

Based on this, it seems most likely that Qin Yumo won't be moving to an apartment.

Moreover, the apartments are not enough to accommodate everyone; rooms 3601 and 3602 are fully occupied.

Both 3603 and 3604 are currently vacant. It would be too extravagant for Qin Yumo to rent them all by herself.

“Okay, Yifan, drive carefully,” Guangu replied immediately.

"Be careful on the road." Du Jun was also grateful to Gu Yifan for saving face for him.

There were so many people around that he lost his composure and almost caused a scene. He'll apologize to Gu Yifan separately when he gets to the studio.

That's what Du Jun thought.

At the same time, he noticed his junior brother Guan Gu's furtive glances.

"Humph!"

Now you know you were wrong, right? According to the sect's rules, it's always the junior brother who takes the initiative to admit his mistakes and apologize to the senior brother.

Guangu, your brother is waiting for you!
Gu Yifan: Goodness, Senior Brother has a proud and arrogant heart.

When he looked at Guan Gu again, he also had an angry expression, so he simply turned around and left.

Tsk, these two petty people have gotten together. Gu Yifan thinks this is going to be quite amusing in the future.

Leave the venue.

As Gu Yifan walked toward the hall, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Liu Xu Hongdou's slender figure was standing at the door, explaining something to the two guests.

He bowed repeatedly, but the other party seemed quite dissatisfied.

Next to the service desk at the main entrance.

"I apologize, Mr. Zhou and Ms. Li. This was our oversight; we failed to reserve a room for you in advance."

Xu Hongdou was in a bit of a panic.

Mr. Zhou, the owner of this hotel, is a frequent customer and is considered a VIP. She wasn't usually the one responsible for receiving him, but today she's the manager on duty.

The suite that the other party booked was not entered into the system for some reason, which prevented me from checking in smoothly.

Although the front desk staff offered to upgrade Mr. Zhou's room for free, he was still not satisfied and felt there was a problem with the hotel's service.

"I've been a regular customer here for a while now, but the quality of your hotel service has been getting worse and worse, which makes me very dissatisfied."

"Yes, yes, yes," Xu Hongdou could only obediently lower her head and listen to Mr. Zhou's dissatisfied accusations.

"I booked a room in advance, but when I arrived here, they told me there was no reservation record and I couldn't check in."

"What about your attitude and solutions? You're just leaving me here waiting, putting the customer out in the cold?"

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Zhou, this has given you a bad experience."

Xu Hongdou quickly said, "How about this, I'll check you in for free as an apology for our mistake? Is that alright?"

"I don't need that little bit of money to pay for a room?"

Xu Hongdou: "."

That's how it is in the service industry; the customer is king.

Luxury hotels, in particular, must prioritize customer satisfaction, especially when the customer is in the right.

Xu Hongdou sighed silently, feeling increasingly exhausted, her mental fatigue far exceeding her physical exhaustion.

Just as she was about to continue bowing and apologizing, waiting for the customer to calm down...

"Mr. Zhou?"

An unexpected sound reached Xu Hongdou's ears.

She turned her head to look.

She immediately recognized the smartly dressed, handsome man in front of her as the 'cartoonist' she had just met.

Mr. Zhou, whose anger had not yet subsided, also turned his head to look and was taken aback.

"Are you... Attorney Su's boyfriend?"

Gu Yifan nodded and smiled at the man he had met at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store when he bought the car with Su Weiwei, who was said to be a businessman named Boss Zhou.

"Yes, what a coincidence."

Just now, Gu Yifan was attracted by the commotion and saw Xu Hongdou bowing repeatedly, which aroused his curiosity.

I want to see which big shot made 'Fairy Liu' apologize repeatedly.

As a result, they recognized this Boss Zhou.

The main reason Gu Yifan was so impressed was the beautiful young woman in her thirties with a slender figure who was beside him.

"Yeah, it's all Ziqiao's fault!"

He can't remember anything else, but he can remember beautiful women perfectly.

What? Ziqiao has the memory of a fish? He cleared his memory, otherwise the beautiful women he remembers every day would burn out his brain's CPU.

Besides, in the end, Ziqiao also remembered all his ex-girlfriends under Yifei's coercion and enticement.

Gu Yifan also learned Ziqiao's ability along the way.

All this is to prove that I, Gu, am definitely not a pervert!
Boss Zhou was also deeply impressed by Gu Yifan.

The last time he went to Attorney Su's law firm to discuss business, he mentioned to her boss that Attorney Su had a boyfriend.

As it turned out, only a few days later...

During the dinner, everyone sat together again, and the law firm owner brought up the matter.

She shook her head and sighed, saying that Lawyer Su's boyfriend picked her up in a Maybach worth tens of millions. "Comparison is the thief of joy," she said. "He's been in the business for so long, and forget tens of millions, his car is barely a million."

This further deepened his impression.

"Oh, look at my memory, isn't it Mr. Gu?" Boss Zhou quickly recalled Gu Yifan's name, and a warm smile appeared on his face, which was still filled with anger.

"I didn't expect you to remember my name." Gu Yifan shook hands with Boss Zhou, then turned his gaze to the beautiful young woman.

"Who is this."

"Hello Mr. Gu, my surname is Li, Li Ya."

The beautiful young woman stepped forward, smiled, and shook hands with Gu Yifan.

However, no mention was made of her relationship with Boss Zhou, so it seems she was his mistress.

"I really envy Boss Zhou, your wife is so young and beautiful." Gu Yifan said to Boss Zhou with a smile.

"Oh, you're too kind." Although Boss Zhou still didn't understand Gu Yifan's identity, he could tell that he was no ordinary person, so he spoke very politely and asked tentatively.

"Mr. Gu, you're staying at this hotel too?"

"No, I'm here to participate in the event." Gu Yifan pointed to the venue next to him.

When Mr. Zhou saw the sign "Shanghai Cartoonists Forum Exchange Meeting," he was somewhat bewildered.

"I didn't expect Mr. Gu to be a cartoonist?"

“Not entirely.” Gu Yifan shook his head. “I bought a few animation and game development companies, so I came here.”

Boss Zhou noticed that Gu Yifan said "buy".

"Oh, I see. I don't really know much about these industries, but I've heard the prospects are very good."

"Yes, now that the economy is developing well, the entertainment industry is about to experience its golden age." Gu Yifan nodded.

At this moment, Xu Hongdou, who was standing to the side, looked at Gu Yifan with some surprise in her eyes.

She knew this Mr. Zhou; he was said to be worth tens of millions and the owner of a trading company, so his total assets were at least over 100 million.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly young man knew the other party, and Mr. Zhou was very polite in his words.

Out of professional habit, Xu Hongdou remembered Gu Yifan's surname.

"His surname is Gu."

"Yes, yes, my son loves watching cartoons and playing video games. He keeps pestering me to buy him that Neon game console, which isn't cheap."

Mr. Zhou said with a smile, "Unfortunately, I know nothing about this."

“Mr. Gu, please stop calling me Boss Zhou. I’m a few years older than you. You can call me Old Zhou or Brother Zhou.”

“Okay, then I’ll call you Brother Zhou. You can call me Yifan, Mr. Gu, you’re too kind,” Gu Yifan said with a smile.

The reason I didn't call him Xiao Gu is because that would be beneath me and make him look down on me.

Besides, Xiao Gu was called by Lin's father. Can this Boss Zhou be compared to Lin's father?

“Alright, Brother Yifan.” Boss Zhou’s smile became even brighter.

Judging from Gu Yifan's dignified appearance and extraordinary temperament, even though their professions seem unrelated now, it wouldn't hurt to get to know him.

"I wonder, Brother Yifan, how much investment is required to enter the entertainment industry?" Boss Zhou asked curiously.

"invest."

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, "That's really hard to say, but I spent about 30 million yuan just to buy the two companies, and that hasn't even been calculated yet."

"More than 30 million?"

This number really surprised Mr. Zhou.

What game and animation company could be worth over 30 million? His company's annual net profit isn't even that much, and then that's divided up among him.
How much money do I need to make to break even?
Looking at Gu Yifan's expression, he seemed indifferent, as if thirty million was nothing to him.

Whether it was an act or not, Boss Zhou had once again elevated Gu Yifan's status in his heart.

"You have to give up something to gain something," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

This number also shocked Xu Hongdou, who was standing nearby.

She works as a manager at a luxury hotel, earning over 30 million yuan, which is considered a high salary, but still an unimaginable figure.

At this moment, looking at Gu Yifan, who had a smile on his lips and a gentle and refined demeanor.

He's handsome, needless to say, and also rich.

Xu Hongdou's heart started racing involuntarily.

At this moment, Gu Yifan turned his head and noticed that the fairy was blushing.

"Manager Xu, is your phone still intact after the fall?"

"what"

Xu Hongdou looked up and met Gu Yifan's gaze. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.

"No, no, I just bumped into something."

"That's fine then." Gu Yifan nodded.

Seeing the two talking, Boss Zhou asked, "Manager Xu, you also know Brother Yifan?"

Before Xu Hongdou could answer, Gu Yifan spoke.

"Yeah, I recognized you, Brother Zhou, because I saw her here. By the way, what were you two talking about just now?"

"I didn't expect Manager Xu to know you, Yifan. It's alright, I'm also a regular customer of Manager Xu's, I come to this hotel often."

Mr. Zhou laughed, without mentioning the room at all.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongdou immediately understood that Gu Yifan was helping her out of a predicament.

Feeling grateful, she quickly nodded, "Yes, Mr. Zhou is an old friend."

"That's fine then." Gu Yifan nodded, then glanced at his watch, a hint of apology appearing on his handsome face. "Sorry, Brother Zhou, I have something to attend to and have to go first. How about we talk another day?"

Boss Zhou had originally wanted to invite Gu Yifan for tea and to have a more chat, but he was a little disappointed upon hearing this, though he still smiled.

"Alright, then let's talk again next time, Brother Yifan. I'll treat you and Attorney Su to dinner then, to thank Attorney Su for his hard work in helping me with my company's affairs."

“Okay.” Gu Yifan did not refuse and turned to Xu Hongdou.

"Manager Xu, I'll be going now."

"Mr. Gu, please take care."

Gu Yifan left quickly.

His purpose in coming was to help Xu Hongdou out of a predicament, which could be considered a small favor.

Seeing the fairy sister being scolded, Gu Yifan couldn't bear it. Even though Xu Hongdou was Xu Hongdou, just for that face, it was worth it.

Xu Hongdou wanted to thank Gu Yifan, but she had to deal with Boss Zhou's matter first.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm so sorry. How about this solution?"

Before Xu Hongdou could finish speaking, Boss Zhou waved his hand and said amicably.

"Alright, since Manager Xu knows Mr. Gu, let's leave it at that. Can we check in now?"

Xu Hongdou nodded immediately, "Of course, this way please."

Boss Zhou also noticed Xu Hongdou's angelic appearance and thought to himself.

No wonder she came to speak up for me; tsk, she is indeed quite attractive.

As for Gu Yifan having a girlfriend, Boss Zhou didn't care at all.

A man who isn't lustful is no man at all.
