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

Chapter 296 Miss Lin: Tell me, did you do something to betray me?

Influenced by Gu Yifan's calm tone.

Li Mingliang's worries subsided.

It was as if this potentially serious matter was just a minor issue to him.

Li Mingliang suddenly realized.

Indeed, my boss is young and already owns two companies. He has invested 30 million in the animation company alone, not even counting the cost of buying the company.

Li Mingliang didn't believe that he earned it all himself.

The only explanation is that the boss has even greater capital behind him.

Even many employees in the company were discussing privately whether the boss was a second-generation heir from a large corporation who had come out to make his own way in the world.

"The kind of envy that comes with having to go home and inherit billions if the company goes out of business."

Since the boss could solve it, Li Mingliang felt relieved and smiled brightly.

"Okay, boss. Also, we'll air our one-person animation on the Shanghai TV station's animation channel."

"Okay, I understand. You can go out now."

Gu Yifan spoke in a serious tone, then lowered his head and refused to look at Li Mingliang.

"."

Seeing this, Li Mingliang, who had originally wanted to chat with the boss and build a relationship, felt a little awkward.

When she saw Du Jun in the morning, she felt a sense of crisis.

After all, as the general manager, she seemed to be second only to the company leader and above everyone else.

However, it is in an awkward position.

The animation production team and the comic production team were led by 'Master Fang' and 'Senior Brother Du Jun', respectively.

All she could do was coordinate relationships between project teams and perform the work of the operations department.

Although he is the general manager.

But it seems they are not as important as the two deputy general managers and the project director.

In other words, the boss is still a college student and can't come to the company every day; otherwise, the boss could easily take over her work.

If things continue like this, it's uncertain how long Li Mingliang can stay at the company stably.

Previously, Li Mingliang had considered being laid off, and even thought about resigning voluntarily.

But now, the company seems to be growing bigger and stronger, the new boss is also quite wealthy, and the company offers salaries that far exceed those in the industry.

She began to hesitate again.

This hesitation intensified Mingliang's sense of crisis.

Even her best friends suggested that she just offer herself up after seeing Gu Yifan's photos, since the boss is so handsome and rich, she wouldn't lose out.

She was genuinely in love.

After all, she is quite attractive, a true urban beauty.

But soon, Li Mingliang discovered that his boss seemed to have no shortage of beautiful women around him.

CFO Xinling is one, lawyer Zhuge who rented this floor of office space to the company is another, and there's also Ms. Qin from this morning.

The boss has always maintained a cold, businesslike attitude towards her.
'Even if I wanted to offer myself as a bedmate, I wouldn't have the chance!!!'

"Okay, then I'll go out first." Mingliang, feeling frustrated, reluctantly turned around.

"Oh, right." Gu Yifan remembered something and called out to her again.

Just as he turned around, pouting and making a face, Li Mingliang turned back with a dry laugh.

"Boss, your orders."

"Since our company is reorganized and our first comic book is going to start serialization, and our anime is going to start airing, let's give all the employees a bonus, everyone gets one," Gu Yifan said after thinking for a moment.

"You can discuss the specific amount with Xinling."

"In addition, everyone has worked hard these past two months, so let the department heads organize a dinner party and team building activity, and the company will reimburse the expenses."

"Mingliang, you, Fang Daxia, and Du Jun, let's go out for a meal together. You can arrange the details."

Gu Yifan said in a deep voice, but his tone became somewhat strange towards the end.

Li Mingliang's eyes lit up; this was a good opportunity for her to demonstrate her abilities.

She made an OK sign, "Don't worry, boss, I guarantee I'll complete the task."

Having said that, he turned and left excitedly.

But then a loud 'bang' was heard.

Li Mingliang was startled. He turned his head and saw Gu Yifan leaning back in his boss's chair with his head held high, seemingly deep in thought.

She turned her head away.

"Anything else?"

"No, that's all~" Mingliang chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself that the boss was probably angry.

That's true. Anyone would be annoyed if something like this happened right at the beginning. I can understand why the boss had such a sour face.

Li Mingliang reconsidered.

Even though the boss was angry, he didn't yell at her directly. Instead, he asked her to give bonuses to the employees and organize team building activities.

He's definitely a good boss.

Seeing this, Li Mingliang felt a pang of pity. He thought, "Boss, don't get so angry! If you get sick, what will happen to the company? What will happen to her?"
Be sure to take care of yourself.

"I'm leaving now, boss. Don't worry, I'll try my best to talk to the publisher."

"Mm." Gu Yifan nodded with his eyes closed.

After the door closed, the room fell silent.

But faint rustling sounds could be heard.

Time passed by, and about ten minutes went by.

"call"

Gu Yifan's previously tense face relaxed a little.

A sense of serene indifference and lack of desire has appeared in his eyes.

"The Great Sage Descends"

"Cough cough."

From another room, the sound of a woman coughing could be heard.

If Li Mingliang were here, he would definitely be startled by Zhuge Liang's sudden appearance, as if he had vanished into thin air.

He stood up, using the desk for support.

Ms. Zhuge's pretty face was flushed, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her stray hairs clung to it in a messy manner.

She straightened up, said nothing, and glared at Gu Yifan with reproachful eyes.

“Sorry, sorry.”

Gu Yifan felt a little guilty and quickly went to pour Zhuge Dasheng a glass of water.

He handed it to Zhuge Dasheng, who was lying by the trash can, and patted her on the back affectionately.

After a while.

"Are you satisfied?"

Zhuge Dasheng regained her dignified demeanor, though her cheeks were still flushed. She walked with a limp, her beautiful eyes giving a reproachful sidelong glance, and she chuckled at Gu Yifan standing to the side.

"It's alright."

Gu Yifan nodded, seemingly obedient, but the slight smugness in his eyes was impossible to hide.

To be honest, I'd give it three stars at most in terms of technical aspects, but the environmental benefits deserve five stars!
Seeing Gu Yifan's mischievous grin and his gaze fixed on her red lips, Zhuge Dasheng became even more shy.

"Just this once, never happen again!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right."

Gu Yifan agreed dismissively, thinking that women are generally reserved.

It's one thing to say it, but whether it will be accurate in the future is another matter.

Ms. Zhuge forcibly took over the boss's chair, but Gu Yifan had no objection and leaned against the table.

With a smile playing on his lips, he observed the seemingly calm Zhuge Liang and thought to himself.

Is your wife, who works every day, like this now?

What kind of different charm does it possess?

Gu Yifan was very curious and decided to visit Zhuge Dasheng Law Firm when he had time.

Seeing Zhuge Dasheng dressed in professional attire, Gu Yifan's heart stirred, and he smiled as he moved closer.

"It's still early, how about we go to the lounge?"

Before Gu Yifan could finish speaking, Zhuge Dasheng didn't even glance at him, but directly raised his hand, pressed down on his face, and pushed him away.

Hmm, she's got that air of a high and mighty city lord's wife.

"Let's talk about the contract from earlier," said Zhuge Dasheng.

Of course she knew what Gu Yifan wanted to do.

only.
Zhuge Dasheng didn't want to give him too much, mainly because he felt shy.

Don't be fooled by her nonchalant demeanor as she sits here; beneath her crossed legs lies a completely different scene.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan swallowed his words, thinking there would be plenty of time in the future.

He shrugged and explained the contract and the comic book serialization.

The serialization started first. According to the plan, once the content of a single volume is completed, which is about seven to ten chapters, a single volume of manga will be published.

However, due to some adaptations, the anime's serialization time differs from the manga's.

"How do you plan to resolve this?" Zhuge Dasheng asked again.

“If it’s just a minor tactic, then let it go. But if it raises questions about breach of contract, then let’s sue.” Gu Yifan looked at Zhuge Dasheng with a smile.

"After all, sitting here is the undefeated legal queen of Shanghai."

Of course, these are just conventional methods. As for unconventional methods, Gu Yifan won't say much more. No amount of business warfare works against a cultivator.

He remembered that the Records of the Ancient Emperors of the Eastern Wilderness also contained some magical arts that violated the laws of nature.

But it's not that bad yet.

Zhuge Dasheng looked at Gu Yifan with a smile and finally nodded, "Does this count as a commission?"

“Of course it counts. Da Sheng, you can name your lawyer fees.” Gu Yifan said immediately.

But Zhuge Dasheng thought for a moment and pondered, "Dali's birthday is coming soon, do you have time?"

Gu Yifan was taken aback, then smiled. "Of course." Zhuge Dasheng still refused Gu Yifan's attempt to persuade him to stay.

I'm getting ready to go back upstairs to the law firm.

In front of the elevator, I ran into Li Mingliang, who was on his way to the newspaper office.

"Attorney Zhuge? What brings you to the company? I didn't see you earlier." Li Mingliang recognized Zhuge Dasheng and greeted him with a smile.

"Okay, let's go for a walk." Zhuge Dasheng nodded to Li Mingliang, his expression very natural, showing no sign that this was not the first time the two had met today.

Li Mingliang didn't think much of it and followed Zhuge Dasheng into the elevator.

The manga "Under One Person" is crucial to the company's future direction, and the investment in it is much greater than that in typical anime.

If it fails to become a hit, or if something unexpected happens, the company will suffer huge losses.

Although the boss said he would handle it, Li Mingliang felt it would be best if he could reach an agreement himself.

at this time.

"Manager Li, are you going out?" Zhuge Dasheng suddenly asked.

"Yes." Li Mingliang nodded.

Zhuge Dasheng hesitated for a moment, "President Gu just told me about the newspaper's breach of contract. If you're going to the newspaper, why don't we go together?"

"Huh?" Li Mingliang was a little surprised, thinking to himself, "The boss is so fast?"
She had just finished discussing the contract with her boss when Attorney Zhuge arrived.

This is Attorney Zhuge, a very busy person with countless clients wanting her services. I never expected her to have such a good relationship with the boss, that she would personally help resolve a small contract breach.

Li Mingliang inwardly marveled at the young boss's connections, and smiled as he thought this.

"Okay, let's go together. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Hmm." Zhuge Dasheng nodded seriously.

What's Yifan's business is her business.

Moreover, Zhuge Dasheng also knew that Gu Yifan knew more than just her as a lawyer, which also stirred up her subconscious competitive spirit.

In her own field, Zhuge Dasheng is confident that no one can compare to her.

After a while, Zhuge Liang became even more interested in it.

The two women, each with their own thoughts, went to the newspaper office together.

Six p.m.

Gu Yifan, who had become a hands-off boss, left work on time and drove to pick up Wanyu to go back to the apartment together.

As soon as she got in the car, Miss Lin lost the dignified and elegant demeanor she displayed in front of strangers or subordinates, revealing her true nature.

"Fanfan~ I miss you so much today, do you miss me too?"

As soon as Lin Daiyu got into the car, she dropped her bag and pounced on Gu Yifan, groping him.

Thanks to the fact that their relationship had already crossed the final line, Lin Wanyu had lost her girlish reserve.

On the contrary, they had even more reason to stick to Gu Yifan, rubbing against him and sniffing him like kittens immersed in catnip.

Gu Yifan sometimes gets annoyed by this clingy person and pushes her away.

Lin Wanyu would then turn into a whiny little devil, staring at Gu Yifan with teary eyes, pouting, looking like she was ready to cry if he didn't comfort her.

It's really frustrating.

So brothers, don't believe those who say I'm cold-hearted or slow to warm up.

If you have Daniel Wu's looks, Si Cong's wealth, and Zi Qiao's eloquence, no girl will be slow to warm up to you.

Lin Wanyu is currently in the throes of a rapidly escalating romance, and her clinginess is comparable to that of conjoined twins.

Gu Yifan asked Lin Wanyu if she wouldn't get tired of it, and Miss Lin confidently assured him.

"Boyfriends are just for their girlfriends to cuddle and have fun with, right? Be good~ Don't move, I just want to kiss you and touch you."

After waiting for Lin Wanyu to "have her fill", she hugged Gu Yifan's arm, her face slightly flushed, and leaned back in her seat with her eyes half-closed.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was drunk.

"Fasten your seatbelt, let's go." Gu Yifan patted Lin Wanyu's little bottom under her short skirt and laughed.

"Hmm~"

As soon as Lin Wanyu got into the car, she kicked off her shoes, revealing her fair, small, arched feet. Her glossy nail polish sparkled in the setting sun.

"I'm exhausted from all the meetings. Gu Yifan, I want to eat your cooking," Miss Lin said coquettishly while fastening her seatbelt.

"No problem." Gu Yifan nodded.

"Huh?" Lin Wanyu was a little surprised. She didn't expect Gu Yifan to agree so easily.

It's important to know that Gu Yifan doesn't cook every day.

Lin Wanyu's requirements are particularly high, so you can't just try to get away with something like "noodles".

This takes a lot of time.

So, it's not easy to get someone to agree three out of ten times.

On the other seven occasions, Lin Daiyu had to rely on her coquettishness and cuteness, and make some shy promises, to win over Gu Yifan.

Lin Wanyu wrinkled her nose and jokingly took Gu Yifan's arm.

"Gu Yifan, why did you agree so easily today?"

"When have you ever wanted to eat my cooking and I didn't agree?" Gu Yifan glanced at Lin Wanyu and answered naturally.

During rush hour, traffic on the streets increases, and many street vendors set up their stalls.

It adds a touch of everyday life to this city with its sophisticated atmosphere.

Looking at the long line of cars stuck in traffic ahead.

Gu Yifan sighed. Even cultivators would still get stuck in traffic if they were going to.

His driving skills were completely useless in the congested traffic.

The car's speed was forced to be reduced even further.

Coincidentally, a Porsche 911 also slowly stopped next to Gu Yifan's car, and the window rolled down.

The car owner was a young man, dressed fashionably, smoking a cigarette and looking around.

Maybe he wants to find someone to mess with.

He happened to notice the black Mercedes S350 next to him and took a closer look.

"I rely on."

The young man noticed Lin Meiren, who was curled up in the seat of Gu Yifan's car, with her beautiful feet comfortably resting on the front of the car.

I was stunned.

The Porsche beneath him suddenly lost its appeal.

Although he was driving a Porsche, there wasn't a single stunningly beautiful girl in the passenger seat.

At this moment, the car in front of the young man moved, and he turned his head to look at Gu Yifan's car, which resulted in the car behind him honking several times.

"Damn it, what are you beeping for? In such a hurry to be reincarnated?" The young man had quite a temper, turning his head and giving the middle finger to the car behind him.

The car behind wasn't going to let them get away with it either. It rolled down its window and revealed a middle-aged man who pointed at the young man and boldly spoke up.

As a result, the two started arguing.

When the young man was no match for the old man, a native of Shanghai, he was defeated by the old man's string of Shanghai dialect greetings, which sounded like a rhyme. He then slunk away and drove off.

Gu Yifan's car had already disappeared through the empty space the young man had just left.

Neither of them noticed the amusing incident that had just occurred next door.

Seeing how easily Gu Yifan agreed, Lin Meimei sensed something was amiss. Her eyes darted around, and she said slyly.

"Could it be that you did something wrong to them and are trying to make it up to them?"

Gu Yifan's expression remained unchanged, but he rolled his eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Wanyu should become a detective.

Gu Yifan did feel somewhat guilty towards Miss Lin because of Zhuge Dasheng's matter, which is why he agreed so easily.

Unexpectedly, she actually noticed something.

"Hehe, okay then." Lin Wanyu thought for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject, "Is Xinling still living at school?"

Xinling rented Master Feng's old house, originally planning to move out after military training.

However, Erxi and Xingchen are both nice people, and since Xinling rents an apartment alone, Gu Yifan can't possibly visit her every day.

Gu Yifan suggested that Xinling go to school from Monday to Friday and go to her rented apartment on the weekend.

You can also ask Erxi and Xingchen to go and keep her company.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Gu Yifan nodded.

"I see." Lin Wanyu thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "What do you think about letting Xinling stay at the apartment?"

"..." Gu Yifan was taken aback. "Why did you suddenly think of that?"

Lin Wanyu felt a little guilty. "I was just missing Xinling. If we were at the apartment, we could see each other often."

That might be one of the reasons, but it's definitely not the only one.

Regardless of Lin Wanyu's ulterior motives, Gu Yifan shook his head, "Let's talk about it later. Xinling is quite busy with her studies right now."

Lin Wanyu was slightly disappointed. "Alright then."

Once on the elevated road, the speed increased significantly.

Gu Yifan first went to the supermarket and bought a bunch of vegetables. He didn't have to worry about not being able to finish them, as the four boys next door could lick the plates clean when they got hungry at night.

He then returned to his apartment.

After changing her clothes, Lin Wanyu skipped out the door, saying she was going to 3603 to tell Yifei and the others about dinner.

Gu Yifan is planning to make a deluxe version of seafood and crab hot pot. This kind of thing doesn't take much time, can be made in one pot, and you'll never get tired of it.

Considering the large number of people, Gu Yifan simply divided it into two pots: one for seafood and crab stew, and the other for chicken feet and wings stew.

One pot is mildly spicy, and the other is savory with soy sauce, perfectly satisfying everyone's taste.

Gu Yifan was busy.

The sound of the door being quietly pushed open did not escape his excellent hearing.

A series of very light and slow footsteps.

Gu Yifan's lips curled into a smile as he waited.

Suddenly, a pair of fair, jade-like arms wrapped around his waist, and a warm, delicate body pressed silently against his back.

"Sister Yifei, stop fooling around."

Gu Yifan turned on the tap and turned to look at Ms. Hu, whose cheeks were slightly flushed.

Hu Yifei bit her lip, asking with a mixture of curiosity and resentment, "How did you know it was me?"

She didn't say a word!
Gu Yifan was neither frightened nor surprised. Couldn't this guy cooperate a little?
