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

Chapter 297 Ms. Hu is looking for investment, and there are angel investors for Eleba!

"You and Wanyu have such different figures, it would be strange if you couldn't tell."

Gu Yifan turned to look at Ms. Hu and answered naturally.

Where is Wanyu?

"I'm getting my nails done with Meijia and Yumo." Hu Yifei had indeed sneaked back quietly.

Hu Yifei discovered that she seemed to be gradually becoming addicted to this sneaky feeling, which was quite exciting.

"Stop fooling around, I'm cooking." Gu Yifan slapped Ms. Hu's hand as she measured his abs.

"Your figure seems to have gotten even better?"

Hu Yifei was puzzled. Gu Yifan's daily routine was irregular, he didn't exercise much, and he still had to deal with both her and Wanyu.
How come her figure keeps getting better and better?

This is so unscientific.

For example, Hu Yifei felt that she had gained some weight.

It is said that this is because a woman's body undergoes some changes after she transitions from a girl to a woman.

For example, fat will gradually be stored in the lower abdomen to prepare for the possible arrival of a new life.

Ms. Hu, stop making excuses for your laziness.

"Although I've never been to a gym, I do push-ups every night and do 50 kilograms of weight training. How could my physique not improve?"

Gu Yifan answered in a serious tone.

Ms. Hu's pretty face froze for a moment, then blushed, and she raised her fist and scolded playfully.

"You are going to die."

Hehe, it feels so good to tease the director, especially since it's my girlfriend.

Gu Yifan didn't say anything, but as soon as he turned around, his large hand instinctively climbed onto Yifei's waist.

"Go cook, don't make a fuss. Be good." Hu Yifei turned her head away, blushing, and said softly.

But there wasn't much resistance in her tone.

"Give me a kiss first." Gu Yifan gradually moved closer, exhaling his breath on Hu Yifei's pretty face.

Hu Yifei stopped resisting, stood on tiptoe, and wrapped her arms around Gu Yifan's shoulders.

A few minutes later.

"Go cook."

Hu Yifei pushed Gu Yifan away and said in a coquettish tone.

It was Gu Yifan who seemed to be pushing her into the room.

Gu Yifan shrugged and turned to start cooking.

Hu Yifei stood quietly to the side, arms crossed, enjoying the tranquility.

Watching Gu Yifan cook is also a kind of enjoyment; it's not just a matter of love blinding beauty.

Gu Yifan's movements were swift, clean, and aesthetically pleasing.

It wasn't like simply cooking; it was more like an art performance, or even a form of spiritual practice.

He noticed Ms. Hu's gaze.

Gu Yifan didn't mind and continued to focus on preparing the ingredients and sauces.

Stir-fry in a hot wok with scallions, ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers. The rich aroma gradually spreads, and then add half a spoonful of fermented bean paste.

Next, put the prepared ingredients into the pot at different times.

Stir-fry until golden brown, then add the prepared sauce to color it, and pour in boiling water.

"Okay, it should be ready in about twenty minutes."

Gu Yifan handled both pots with ease, then turned around, took off his apron, and carefully washed his hands.

His spiritual food skill has reached level three, out of a total of five levels. Each level can only be unlocked after every two levels of cultivation. Gu Yifan is still a long way from reaching level four.

It's already pretty good, though. The food he makes has a built-in spiritual energy boost, along with various other effects.

For example, physique, charm, and skill bonuses.

That's why you'll immediately fall in love with his cooking after just one bite.

Spiritual food, imbued with spiritual energy and specially prepared for cultivators, tastes far better than ordinary earthly food, which contains various impurities.

Gu Yifan turned to look at Ms. Hu and saw that she was still staring at him blankly.

"Cough cough~"

Hearing Gu Yifan cough, Hu Yifei finally came to her senses and muttered, "Every time I watch you cook, it seems so easy. But when I try to cook myself, I always end up clumsy and burn the food."

"Tell me, do you have some special trick up your sleeve? Are you trying to hide it from me?" Ms. Hu asked, raising her pretty face.

That young and delicate pretty face, paired with her great figure, creates a striking contrast of youthful appearance.

What a spoiled girlfriend, she really is a spoiled girlfriend.

Ms. Hu's way of acting coquettishly is different from that of ordinary girls, but it's quite cute.

Gu Yifan retorted, "It's clearly because you don't have the talent, okay?"

"If you don't have talent, don't bother trying. It'll only make you look like a clown."

"Say that again!" Ms. Hu was furious and jumped up to chase after Gu Yifan, hitting him.

"I never said you were a clown. If you keep pursuing me, then you are the clown."

The two bickered and argued for a while.

Hu Yifei's initial romantic feelings vanished, and she wished she could crush Gu Yifan's unfunny head with her scissor legs.

Finding an opportunity, Hu Yifei punched Gu Yifan hard in the back to vent her anger before sitting down on the sofa.

Seeing Gu Yifan's pained expression.

Hu Yifei curled her lip in disdain, "Don't play dumb."

Hu Yifei had witnessed Gu Yifan's abnormal physical strength and defense many times.

She didn't believe that she was injured by a simple, light punch that she hadn't used much force.

"Yifei, you'd be perfect for a female version of One-Punch Man," Gu Yifan quipped, rubbing his shoulders as he sat down on the sofa. He glanced at his watch; ten minutes to go.

"What One-Punch Man?" Hu Yifei asked, intrigued.

“One-Punch Man is it.” Gu Yifan thought for a moment, “Yes, it’s my company’s new idea.”

Hey, here comes this new idea.

Not only can we learn from Dongda's comics, but Gu Yifan can learn from Xiao Rizi's comics with even less pressure.

The eldest brother has something to do again.

Gu Yifan thought to himself, "It means being able to take down any enemy with a single punch, without any hesitation."

"That sounds interesting." Ms. Hu's eyes lit up even more.

"Show me the drawing when it's finished."

Gu Yifan nodded indifferently.

The two sat together and whispered sweet nothings to each other for a while.

"Alright, get ready to call them over for dinner. 3601, did you go?"

I looked up at my watch to check the time.

Gu Yifan took out his phone, ready to send a message to everyone.

As the only chef in the apartment, Gu Yifan has a bunch of adopted sons and adopted grandsons.

"There's no rush." ​​Hu Yifei then remembered that she had important business to discuss with Gu Yifan.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yifan looked up.

"I need to talk to you about something. Otherwise, do you think I'd be here to watch you cook for no reason?" Hu Yifei retorted stubbornly.

Gu Yifan shrugged. "What important business? Isn't kissing me your important business?"

Hu Yifei: "Do you want to die?!"

Gu Yifan's smile faded. "Just kidding. What's wrong, Director? Is there anything you need?"

Hu Yifei then told him about the department head asking her for help that morning.

Gu Yifan listened thoughtfully, "You said you're a college student starting a business and looking for angel investment, so why did you come to me?"

"The department head knows one of the students, they're related, and you drive your luxury car around school every day, showing off." Ms. Hu said with a sneer.

She hated nepotism the most, but the department head treated her well and came to her.

She could only say that she would ask Gu Yifan when she got back.

Gu Yifan smiled. Interpersonal interactions are unavoidable, and so are social niceties.

Yifei's teachers, classmates, and even her teachers' teachers are all part of her network of relationships.

At the same time, Gu Yifan had a sudden thought, "What kind of business did they start?"

"Oh, it seems they've started a food delivery service," Hu Yifei said after thinking for a moment. "It's called something like 'Food Delivery,' where you order by phone, it's campus delivery, and they contact some businesses in the surrounding area."

"That's it."

Gu Yifan blinked, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

On second thought, I suddenly remembered the system item blueprints I had used before. Could there be any connection between the two?
Thus, Gu Yifan's originally not-so-high level of interest was raised.

If that's the case, he might actually have to take on the role of an angel investor.

"Do you have a more detailed business plan?" Gu Yifan asked.

"Yes, the department head gave it to me, but it's just sitting there in room 3603. What, are you really interested?" Hu Yifei asked in surprise.

Gu Yifan nodded, "I think their idea is great. College students are tired of eating at restaurants and want to try something different, but they don't want to go out. Ordering food by phone from their dorm rooms is a good option."

"Ordering by phone doesn't have a high reach. If it were online, with photos for reference, it would be even better."

Gu Yifan was talking about the prototype of the future food delivery industry.

Hu Yifei didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a minor squabble among students.

In recent years, more and more college students have started their own businesses, but most of them have faded away after leaving campus.

Very few manage to break through.

However, Gu Yifan's idea was not bad. At first, she also thought that relying solely on phone orders would be no different from KFC.

But if you can order food online, you can choose what you want without having to go out to eat, which is quite convenient.

"Then I'll go get it for you." Hu Yifei stood up.

"Okay, don't forget to call everyone for dinner." Gu Yifan also got up and quickly walked to the kitchen.

After dinner, Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu took Xiao Shiwan downstairs for a walk and also let Xiao Shiwan go to the toilet.

Meijia and Zhanbo washed the dishes.

On the sofa, Young Master Lü was clamoring to go to the bar to play Three Kingdoms Kill.

The reason Sima Qiao went to the bar is obvious to everyone.

Naturally, he wanted to use a novel board game like Three Kingdoms Kill to flirt with girls.

Zeng Xiaoxian was initially somewhat interested.

Just as Ziqiao was trying to persuade Zeng Xiaoxian, describing the scene of the beauties sitting with them and playing the Three Kingdoms Kill game.

A shadow fell over Lü Ziqiao.

"Hiss, there's a murderous aura." Lu Ziqiao shuddered and turned to look.

"Yi Yi Fei?"

Ms. Hu appeared quietly behind Lü Ziqiao, a forced smile on her face, and lightly patted Ziqiao's shoulder with her delicate hand.

"Young Master Lü, I remember Yifan said that no detail about this game should be revealed and that it must be kept strictly confidential, right?"

"Have you forgotten everything?!"

Although it's just a regular game, all the necessary registrations have been completed, and it's about to launch. It's different from those strictly confidential AAA games from overseas.

But it must be kept secret if it needs to be.

Hu Yifei took this matter very seriously, and seeing that Ziqiao was getting cocky again, she was furious.

Ms. Hu's slaps became harder with each one.

Sensing the dissatisfaction in her tone, Lü Ziqiao broke out in a cold sweat and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Yifei, I didn't mean to. I just forgot about it."

Mika leaned back on the sofa, rolled her eyes, and said, "Forgot? Or are you just thinking about picking up girls!"

"Young Master Lü, do you know that the reason you were able to play this game ahead of time is because Yifan considers us friends? What about you?"

It was clear that Zi Qiao was being suppressed by Hu Yifei.

Zeng Xiaoxian stopped mentioning going to the bar and immediately sided with Yifei.

"I've never told anyone this before, Yifei, you know me, I'm very tight-lipped."

"Hmph." Hu Yifei ignored Zeng Xiaoxian and continued to stare intently at Lü Ziqiao.

"Tell me, have you told anyone about this?"

She applied a little pressure with her fingers.

The sound of Ziqiao's bones being squeezed followed.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch, Yifei!" Ziqiao cried out in pain, feeling as if his bones were about to be crushed. He quickly swore loudly.

"Absolutely not, I really didn't."

"Really not?" Hu Yifei asked, disbelieving.

"Really not," Lu Ziqiao quickly said. "I'm not stupid. Yifan told me this. How could I possibly betray my brother?"

Upon hearing this, Ms. Hu withdrew her hand, her tone carrying a stern threat.

"If I ever hear about the Three Kingdoms Kill game anywhere, I'll knock both your shoulders off and your jaw off next time!"

Ziqiao nodded repeatedly, rubbing his shoulder in pain.

I thought to myself, either Yifei has taken some kind of poison.

It's just a suggestion to go to a bar to play a game, is it really necessary to be so nervous? Why does she react so strongly the moment she hears Yifan's name?

But the fault lies with him.

Lu Ziqiao secretly rejoiced that he was so afraid of being tricked by Gu Yifan that he didn't try to trick him in the Three Kingdoms Kill game.

otherwise.
He had no doubt that Hu Yifei would keep her word.

After this incident, Lu Ziqiao became much more obedient and stopped mentioning going to the bar downstairs.

He originally wanted to slip away, but Hu Yifei blocked him and told him to wait for Gu Yifan to come back so she could explain to Gu Yifan how he had betrayed his trust.

Gu Yifan returned and heard about this.

"Yes, well done, Yifei. Ziqiao needs to be taught a lesson." Gu Yifan gave Ms. Hu a thumbs up.

Faced with Zi Qiao's smirking apology, Gu Yifan shrugged and spoke the truth.

"Alright, I'm not afraid of leaks if I let everyone have fun, especially you, Ziqiao, I expected this a long time ago."

"But if there's a next time, I'll have to make you sign a confidentiality agreement, Ziqiao."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zi Qiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Yifan let him go so easily.

Ms. Hu, however, scoffed, "There'll be a next time? I'd like to see him dare to do it again."

Lu Ziqiao felt somewhat embarrassed and silently got up and left.

Gu Yifan felt it was good to teach this guy a lesson, so he didn't say anything.

After sitting down, Gu Yifan explained to Hu Yifei.

The game is about to be released, so it's okay to leak it out in advance. After all, the printing factory is already working at full capacity to print the Three Kingdoms Kill offline board game set.

Sometimes, when a game version is updated, the game company will specifically hire someone to play the role of a so-called mole.

By leaking vague information, generating buzz and sparking controversy, they can also gauge the players' reactions.

Besides, Ziqiao can be unreliable at times, but he can be quite reliable when he is.

He was the first among them to use Weibo, and now he has tens of thousands of followers. Don't underestimate these followers.

The number of people who can access the internet now is far less than in the future; they are mostly young people who are very active.

Moreover, Weibo is still relatively new and is competing with blogs that haven't been phased out yet, so the number of registered users is still small.

If Ziqiao seizes the opportunity, he could become a first-generation internet celebrity, and even remain popular in the future.

After all, some internet celebrities might be attacked because of their scandals.

But if you have a lot of scandals, you can actually survive.

Gu Yifan even considered recruiting Ziqiao and letting him stir up trouble online; he would definitely be a master at being a troll.

However, this guy only works sporadically, thinking that he's self-sufficient and doesn't care much about the rest of the family.

The same goes for the motivational speakers later on; Lu Ziqiao could have easily become a relationship coach, but he gave up on that too.

God also favored this prodigal son, giving him too many chances to turn back.

Now it seems there's no possibility for him and Meijia anymore, and Gu Yifan doesn't know what Ziqiao will become in the future.

"Yifei, Ziqiao does have his merits, there's no need to embarrass him like this."

Gu Yifan thought about Ziqiao's awkward expression when he left earlier and said to Yifei.

"Pshaw, I don't think he's good at anything other than picking up girls and borrowing money to pick up girls." Ms. Hu looked down on Lu Ziqiao.

What she said was true.

It's fair to say that the relationships among the apartment residents are quite complex, and their ability to get along is purely by chance.

It's especially strange that someone like Hu Yifei or Zeng Xiaoxian, who have respectable jobs, could get along with someone like Lu Ziqiao, who spends his days swindling and deceiving girls' feelings.

Zi Qiao's only advantage is that he's thick-skinned and doesn't hold grudges. For example, when Hu Yifei broke his arm, he was still happy and didn't hold a grudge against Yifei for it.

Seeing that Hu Yifei didn't seem to care, Gu Yifan didn't say anything more.

Instead, he picked up the business plan that Hu Yifei had brought and started reading it.

The more Gu Yifan looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

Then it suddenly dawned on me that this was exactly how a certain blue-clad army, like Ele.me, started.

Leaving aside the battle between the blue and yellow teams, the blue team lost.

Eleba should be one of the first companies in China to develop an O2O platform.

Gu Yifan was deeply impressed by the fact that the founder sold the company to Alibaba for more than 60 billion yuan.

He had seen media interviews where the company founder talked about his entrepreneurial experience. Initially, he started the business with his college roommates.

It seems like it was a year or two ago that Ele.me was sold off.

In just ten years, they earned over 60 billion yuan in profits, not to mention the even larger future market size of the food delivery industry.

It even went so far as to have Huangtuan use offline physical stores as free warehouses for its platform.

It is transforming from a food delivery platform into an e-commerce platform.

Thinking of this, Gu Yifan's heart started beating faster.

If that's true, wouldn't he become Ele.me's angel investor, or even its first investor?

"You're going to see them tomorrow, aren't you?"

Hu Yifei was somewhat surprised to see that Gu Yifan really wanted to invest.

"You think this can make money?"

Gu Yifan smiled and said, "Of course."

Not only can it make money, but it's also a completely untapped market.

Surprisingly, the founder was also from Tongji University and was an alumnus.

However, he has already graduated and is said to have been accepted into a graduate program at Jiaotong University. So, he's now Professor Zeng's junior.

Lin Wanyu, standing to the side, asked curiously, "What makes money?"

“It’s the food delivery industry,” Gu Yifan answered casually, then suddenly remembered something and looked intently at Lin Wanyu.

"By the way, Wanyu, didn't you want to make something of yourself for your old man?"

"Yes, but managing a company is so difficult." Lin Wanyu sighed. She had been so busy all month that she hadn't had time to date Gu Yifan.

The company also didn't look well.

Sometimes, Lin Wanyu felt that it would be better to hand the company over to Gu Yifan to manage; he would definitely be better at it than her.

The main problem is that managing a company isn't as fun as you might imagine; instead, you have to worry about all sorts of things.

But she had just made a bold statement to her father, saying that she would achieve something to show him.

Gu Yifan smiled. What a coincidence!

An opportunity to kill two birds with one stone is right in front of us.

"Would you be interested in investing in this startup project with me?"
