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

Chapter 261 Cultivating a Team to Support Gu Yifan in Building a Harem
Before driving to the dinner party.

Gu Yifan drove back to the school first, intending to pick up Xinling and go together.

After all, Cyndi will become a senior executive in a comic book and animation company in the future.

Let's meet first and get to know each other.

Downstairs in the girls dormitory.

Xinling had just finished class and was walking back with Erxi and Xingchen.

"Xinling, let's take a shower first. It's been so hot and stuffy after all day of classes. Let's shower first, then go to the cafeteria~"

Zhao Erxi walked backwards, stretching out a big yawn as he relaxed, his back and shoulders aching from sitting all day, and muttered to himself.

"I feel that university life after formal classes start is not as good as military training."

"Come on, Erxi. I don't know who was envious of Xinling during military training, always sighing and complaining about how long the training was going to last." Xia Xingchen, holding her textbooks, smiled sweetly.

"Oh dear! Xingchen, why do you always expose my shortcomings?" Zhao Erxi blushed and stomped her foot in annoyance.

As a result, he lost his balance and fell backward.

"what!!!"

Seeing Erxi's eyes widen and her pretty face show despair, she was about to squat down on the ground.

Xinling reacted quickly, grabbing Erxi's arm and saving her from embarrassment and injury.

"Phew, I'm saved." Zhao Erxi patted her chest as if she had survived a disaster, her eyes shining as she looked at Xinling, who was bending down to pick up the books she had dropped.

"Xinling! You're just like the female knight-errant from Gu Long's martial arts novels!"

"He rescued the young woman from dire straits at a critical moment."

"You were so cool just now, I don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Then I'll repay you with my body." Xia Xingchen also squatted down and helped pick up the textbooks.

Erxi, however, didn't take it seriously and immediately threw herself into Xinling's arms, pretending to be shy.

"Actually, it's not impossible for me to repay you with my body~ How about we make do with each other from now on, Cindy?"

"No way!" Xinling's gentle face showed a hint of reproach, and she pouted in disdain.

"Tch~ I knew it, Xinling, there's someone else in your heart, isn't there~"

Erxi grinned mischievously, "That's it!"

"Oh, Erxi." Xinling finally couldn't help but feel shy and twisted her body to get away from Erxi.

Zhao Erxi's slightly chubby face looked like a little fox when she smiled. "Okay, okay, I won't say anything~"

As she spoke, Erxi suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise, looking behind Xinling, "Hey! Senior Brother Gu! You're here!"

Upon hearing this, Xinling and Xia Xingchen turned their heads almost simultaneously to look behind them.

Erxi took the opportunity to grope Xinling's chest.

"Hey!"

Cyndi was suddenly ambushed and cried out in surprise, her face flushed as she clutched her chest.

Looking at Erxi, who had already run away, how could he not know that she had deliberately lied to him and was playing a prank?

"Erxi! Stop right there!" Xinling gritted her teeth and chased after him.

She insisted on watching Erhao today.

Xia Xingchen, on the other hand, felt a little guilty and melancholy as she looked at Xinling's back. She quickly suppressed these emotions and followed after her.

"Hey, you two, stop fighting."

Just as Erxi ran breathlessly to the dormitory building.

I didn't notice the student riding a bicycle coming from behind me and almost crashed into him.

"Are you blind? Can't you see where you're going?"

Zhao Erxi was startled. Although she hadn't been watching where she was going, she couldn't just stand there and talk back after being scolded. She immediately retaliated.

"You're the one who's blind! Do you own this main road? It's none of your business how I walk. You're supposed to give way to pedestrians!"

Upon hearing this, the other party also got angry and stopped the car, intending to argue with Zhao Erxi.

At this time.

"Drip!"

A short, sharp whistle sounded.

The other person turned their head and saw a Mercedes slowly driving up.

Perhaps worried that a teacher was sitting in the car, the other person glared at Zhao Erxi resentfully before riding away.

Zhao Erxi was still a little unconvinced, pouting, "What kind of person is he? Even if I'm wrong, he can't just swear at me!"

Just then, she noticed that the car that had come from behind had stopped beside her, and the window had rolled down.

Zhao Erxi straightened up, bent down, and looked into the car.

She then saw Gu Yifan, wearing sunglasses, smiling broadly as he looked at her from the driver's seat.

"Erxi".

Zhao Erxi's eyes widened. "Senior Brother Gu! What brings you here?"

At this moment, Xinling and Xia Xingchen, who were a step behind, also ran over with Erxi's book in their hands.

I happened to overhear Erxi's words.

Xinling pouted, "Erxi, are you trying to lie to me again?"

"That's right, Erxi, you're not allowed to joke about Senior Brother Gu anymore." Xia Xingchen and Xinling were on the same side.

"I wasn't joking. Look who's in the car." Zhao Erxi said, feeling wronged, pointing to Gu Yifan's lane on the side of the road.

Xinling then noticed the car and saw Gu Yifan smiling and waving at her through the windshield.

"elder brother!"

Xinling was overjoyed and, ignoring Erxi and Xingchen, went around to the driver's seat, "Why are you here~"

"What are you saying? I can't come," Gu Yifan said with a smile, taking off his sunglasses.

Xinling's pretty face immediately flushed slightly, and she said softly, "That's not what I meant~"

Just then, there was the sound of a door opening, and Xia Xingchen calling out, "Erxi, what are you doing?"

Erxi, the lively young girl, actually opened the passenger door of Gu Yifan's car and got in.

"Let's go, senior brother," Erxi said, making a show of fastening his seatbelt as if it were a serious matter.

"Where are you going?" Gu Yifan asked, blinking.

"You didn't come to take us out for a fancy meal, did you?"

Erxi unbuckled her seatbelt and made a cute gesture with a smile.

By the car window, Xinling and Xia Xingchen's faces immediately darkened.

They were all staring intently at Erxi.

Cyndi: "That's my seat! Only I can sit next to him!"

Xia Xingchen: "Why can't I just stand there like Erxi for a while? I want to experience what it's like to sit in the passenger seat of Senior Brother Gu."

Gu Yifan found Erxi to be a really interesting girl.

"I am indeed going to have a big meal."

"Really!" Erxi's eyes widened. She was just joking. Could it be that her dream had come true?

Erxi still misses Xiao Nan Guo; the food there is so much better than what you get in the cafeteria.

Gu Yifan shrugged. "But you guys have evening self-study sessions, so you can only take Xinling out to eat by yourself."

Upon hearing this, Erxi's excited little face immediately stiffened and fell, her bright eyes looking at Gu Yifan with a wronged expression.

"Senior brother, you're so naughty!"

"Erxi, come down quickly." Xia Xingchen was also a little excited, but she knew very well that there was still evening self-study. So she called Erxi to get out of the car.

"Let's wait until the weekend. If I'm free on the weekend, I can treat you to a meal and take you out for fun," Gu Yifan said with a smile, a thought crossing his mind.

Hearing this, Erxi cheered up again, "It's a deal!"

"Don't worry." Gu Yifan nodded.

Erxi then got out of the car, and Xia Xingchen took the opportunity to greet Gu Yifan with a slightly flushed face.

"Senior Brother Gu~"

"Yeah, Xingchen, you've gotten even more beautiful in just a few days," Gu Yifan joked.

Little did she know that this unintentional remark would make Xia Xingchen's heart pound faster.

As for Xinling, she wasn't angry about Erxi's behavior, and Gu Yifan's words had diverted her attention.

"Brother, are you going to take me out to eat?"

"Okay, get in the car first, I'll explain later," Gu Yifan said, turning his head to Xinling.

Some of the female students around had already noticed something and were starting to gather around.

This is also why Gu Yifan didn't get off the car immediately.

If he gets surrounded this time, there won't be a second Yifei to save him from this "deep water and hot fire".

It just so happened that Xia Xingchen mustered up the courage to say something.

All they saw was the back of Gu Yifan's head.

Her once joyful eyes now held a hint of resentment.

Xinling happily ran to the passenger seat, and Xia Xingchen silently gave up her seat, looking at her good roommate with envy in her eyes.

Zhao Erxi grabbed Xinling's arm, refusing to let her go, and said aggrievedly.

"Traitor! You promised to take a shower first and then go to the cafeteria for lunch, Xinling, you big traitor!"

"Hey~ I'll bring you guys some delicious food when I get back, okay~" Xinling tempted Erxi with treats, "Enough for you to eat for a week~"

"Really? Okay, then you must bring it!"

Erxi is a little foodie and couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. He relaxed his heart, watched her get into the car, and said goodbye to himself and Xingchen through the car window.

After Gu Yifan's car disappeared around the corner, Erxi sighed and took Xingchen's arm. "We're doomed. It's just the two of us left again."

"I'm so envious of Cyndi!" Erxi said, envious that Cyndi could go out for a fancy meal.

Xia Xingchen nodded silently. She felt the same way, but she was just envious that Xinling could sit in the passenger seat of her senior brother Gu.

After leaving the campus, the car's speed noticeably increased.

Gu Yifan turned onto the elevated road and headed towards the restaurant that Li Mingliang had sent him.

A gentle breeze blew into the car from the window, carrying the scent of sunset, which smelled wonderful.

Xinling's hair was blown around wildly. She closed the car window, leaving only a small crack, before turning to look at Gu Yifan, her beautiful eyes filled with deep affection. "Brother~ why did you suddenly decide to take me out to eat?"

While driving, Gu Yifan explained that he had bought the two companies.

Upon hearing this, Xinling, who was initially delighted that Gu Yifan had only taken her out to eat, widened her eyes.

"what!!!"

"What? Be careful not to dislocate your jaw. Close your mouth quickly," Gu Yifan teased.

Then we got down to business.

"Once the company is up and running, Xinling, you will be the financial director, responsible for the animation company's financial work. You are also a company veteran, so you'll have to make an appearance tonight."

Upon hearing this, Xinling also became serious, somewhat worried, "But...but can I really do this job well? I have no experience. Brother, why don't you find an experienced financial accountant?"

That won't do.

Gu Yifan immediately shook his head. This position must belong to Xinling. Who else but her? If she doesn't take the job, where will the employees' salaries come from? Therefore, Xinling must be the financial director.

"I believe you can do it, but Xinling, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. You won't be doing all of this work; I'll be hiring more people."

Xinling breathed a sigh of relief. Who wouldn't like to be firmly chosen by their sweetheart? Her face flushed slightly as she nodded, "That's good."

Gu Yifan brought up another matter.

"By the way, I was just about to ask you if you know any senior students who have graduated or are about to graduate from your department and are planning to find jobs. You could introduce them to me."

"Accounting seniors?" Xinling blinked. "Brother, why don't you hire some experienced accountants?"

Experienced?
Those with experience are all studying in prison, okay?

Gu Yifan chose recent graduates instead of experienced ones for a variety of reasons.

Having extensive experience is not a good thing in all industries. For example, accounting and finance positions are usually held by the boss's confidants, and their importance is self-evident.

That's why Gu Yifan gave the position of CFO to Xinling; she was absolutely one of his own.

Gu Yifan believed that if Xinling were asked to falsify accounts or do something illegal, but it would benefit him, she would do it without hesitation.

Of course, he wouldn't do that.

What if they bring in a bunch of seasoned veterans who can easily tamper with things, or take advantage of Xinling's inexperience, not care about her, or not listen to her?

Could such a thing happen?
It will definitely happen!
That would be better to find some recent graduates.

They were seniors in school, but once they graduate, they're all freshmen.

This can reduce the chances of disobedience and double-dealing. Of course, newcomers should be trained, and they can also be trained as confidants.

As expected, Gu Yifan will not only have one company in the future, but he already has two companies and a studio.

He definitely can't manage everything by himself.

You need trustworthy people to help with management and oversight.

Finally, it's about cultivating Cyndi's authority.

When faced with a group of seasoned veterans, the innocent and kind-hearted Xinling will be bullied.

However, with a group of equally inexperienced college students, Cyndi Wang also built confidence, cultivated a team, and established prestige.

Gu Yifan gave Xinling a brief explanation.

Xinling immediately understood Gu Yifan's good intentions.

"Students like Erxi and Xingchen can come to our company if they want," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

But Xinling pouted, a hint of sourness in her voice, "Brother, you wouldn't be thinking of recruiting Erxi and Xingchen into the company just because they're pretty, would you?"

Gu Yifan: "."

He turned his head and met Cyndi Wang's bright, sparkling eyes.

"Nonsense." Gu Yifan rolled his eyes and turned back to drive.

"Having you by my side is enough for me."

Xinling smiled and said, "Really?"

"Don't believe it?"

"What about Sister Wanyu?"

Gu Yifan froze again. "Fine, fine, Xinling is gradually going astray now."

Her personality has become more and more cheerful, but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

"Of course, the two of you are enough."

"But I think that the relationship between Sister Weiwei, Sister Yifei and you is not ordinary, right?"

This girl, why is she speaking such blunt truths? It's better to keep quiet when you see through something.

Gu Yifan couldn't bring himself to say "You are all my wings" because he felt a little awkward.

At this moment, Cyndi suddenly made a bold statement.

"So, brother, if you want, I can also find a way to help you win over Erxi and Xingchen."

"Don't talk nonsense, there really isn't one." Gu Yifan glared angrily at Xinling.

Is this girl's bottom itchy?

Why are you getting so sharp-tongued and sarcastic?

To everyone's surprise, Xinling pouted and said seriously, "I'm serious."

"I think both of them are interested in you, and they're both so good-looking. Rather than letting them go to someone else, why not let you have them instead?"

Cyndi isn't stupid.

On the contrary, she was very smart and noticed Xia Xingchen's budding feelings early on.

"Isn't it every guy's dream to have two more beautiful wives?" That's what Cyndi Wang said.

Gu Yifan laughed, "What, are there many girls who are interested in me? Do I have to marry them all?"

Cyndi remained silent.

A gentle evening breeze ruffled Xinling's hair, and a fiery sunset gradually appeared over the overpass.

The beautiful scenery was also reflected in Cyndi's beautiful eyes.

Of course she'd be jealous. If she could, she'd love to have him all to herself.

But now it seems that it's no longer possible.

There's Sister Wanyu, Sister Yifei, and Sister Weiwei.

If Gu Yifan were truly a romantic playboy, then Xinling would be willing to endure the pain of unrequited love to fulfill his desires.

However, judging from this test, it seems that Brother isn't very interested in Xingchen or Erxi.

Xinling sighed. To be realistic, Weiwei had Nuolan, Wanyu and Yifei, while she was all alone, which didn't seem to give her any advantage.

It's better to actively pull in one or two good girlfriends, that way you can always maintain your position in my heart.

If Gu Yifan knew what Xinling was thinking, he would definitely criticize her for watching too many palace dramas. What, are you planning to engage in palace intrigue?

By the time the two reached their destination, the sunset had completely disappeared and turned into night.

"Here we are, this is it."

Gu Yifan unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

When Xinling came down, they were just about to enter the restaurant.

Gu Yifan's arm was held by Xinling, and he could hear the traditional girl's soft voice and smell her sweet and soft scent as it seeped into his heart.

"If you ever take a fancy to any girl in the future, don't hide it from Xinling. Xinling is willing to help you win them over and supports you in building a harem!"

Gu Yifan's body trembled.

Before he could even lecture the little girl, Xinling had already let go of his hand and jogged towards the restaurant.

Although the person is gone, those words still echo in Gu Yifan's heart.

"I support you building a harem."

Is Cyndi always so traditional?
This girl really saw right through him. He had thought Su Hu was a wicked concubine who brought ruin to the country.

But now, it seems that Xinling, who appears to be an innocent girl, is more like a wicked concubine who would cooperate with the emperor to bring chaos to the world.

Gu Yifan paused for a moment, then shook his head violently. This was definitely Xinling's scheme, and he wouldn't fall for it.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? You haven't suddenly become enlightened, have you?"

Standing on the steps, Xinling tilted her head, a smile playing on her lips, and loudly questioned the silent Gu Yifan.

Before she could speak, Gu Yifan quickly stepped forward and covered Xinling's cherry-like mouth.

"Grandma, you're my older sister, okay?"

Xinling was half-embraced by Gu Yifan. She blinked her beautiful eyes and gazed at Gu Yifan with deep affection. Gu Yifan, who was about to scold Xinling for becoming increasingly bold, was stunned and swallowed his words.

"I knew it, brother loves me the most and can't bear to punish me." Xinling's smile became even more beautiful. She stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Gu Yifan's lips.

"Alright, brother, just take it as Xinling talking nonsense. It's because you haven't come to see me for the past three days. Xinling was worried that you had forgotten about me."

"But looking at it now, I don't think I've forgotten."

"I can't do anything with you." Gu Yifan's heart softened, and he rubbed Xinling's head.

"Let's go, we can't say anything carelessly once we're inside."

Xinling giggled and rubbed her face against Gu Yifan's arm, like a clingy kitten.

“I know, I know~”
