It turned out that no one intentionally called them to report on the follow-up situation.
Chu Ge was awakened by his disrupted eating schedule over the past few months. Rubbing his face, he grabbed the phone charging by the bedside and checked the ti. It was exactly twelve noon…
There were no missed calls, not even an unread ssage or WeChat…
He was so hungry, and there was no delicious food cooked by Qiuqiu to eat.
But Qiu Wuji herself, who was even more delicious, was right here in his arms.
His movent with the phone seed to awaken her too. Her beautiful eyes opened slightly, a little dazed and blinking.
Then she realized their situation and a blush spread across her face.
They were in a hotel room… and there was only one bed. Yet, everything felt natural and effortless, without the prior internal struggle and awkwardness that Chu Ge had imagined. He simply embraced her, told her to rest well, and she snuggled into his embrace and fell asleep like a content little cat.
Was it because of the big move last night, which had exhausted them so much?
But even upon waking up, Qiu Wuji felt reluctant to move, lazy and disinclined to get up… So familiar, his breath and embrace.
Chu Ge also noticed that she was awake and smiled as he greeted her, “Good afternoon.”
Qiu Wuji pouted, her voice a bit weak as she responded, “Good afternoon… I heard your stomach growling, are you hungry? Do you want to go out to eat?”
“Compared to eating, I’d rather taste you.” As Chu Ge spoke, he leaned down and accurately aid for her lips.
Qiu Wuji didn’t even have the presence of mind to evade, as if it were ant to be, and even closed her eyes, responding to his kiss.
Because she wanted to kiss him too…
No one could imagine that this shy and bashful young woman was the sa person who had shattered the sky with her sword like a divine being just last night.
“Alright, alright…” After who knows how long they kissed, Qiu Wuji pressed down his exploring hand, her voice as soft as silk, “You’re like a bull, waking up early in the morning and huffing and puffing…”
Chu Ge played with her lips and gazed at her, falling more in love as he watched, whispering, “It’s all because my Qiuqiu is too tempting.”
Qiu Wuji bit her lower lip, “Clearly, it was the Creator God who seduced and abducted an innocent ancient female cultivator, deceiving her into bed… I’ve never seen such a shaless and audacious god.”
“Is that so? Isn’t it just the Creator God and the woman he created falling uncontrollably in love? It’s like they’re unable to control themselves?”
Qiu Wuji was a bit anxious, “He, he doesn’t have good intentions! He just wants to turn into soone he likes. I must not fall for his tricks…”
Chu Ge leaned in again, “Who cares about that? It’s Qiuqiu ‘tricks’ that would trap …”
Qiu Wuji slightly tilted her head and took a breath, “You… If you were an emperor, you’d definitely be a debauched ruler who’s obsessed with won rather than attending court early.”
Chu Ge muttered, “I’m not that kind of debauched ruler. My eyes are fixated on just one person.”
“Li Longji, you’re so much like him. He also had other consorts, didn’t he?” Qiu Wuji suddenly gritted her teeth, “Fine then, how many do you actually want?”
Chu Ge, “Huh?”
Qiu Wuji flipped him over with a sudden movent, ending up on top of him. She humd, “Is Gu Ruoyan soft-handed or not?”
Chu Ge chuckled helplessly, “It’s just a handshake gesture. I think you’re the only one making such a fuss about it.”
“Why did she shake hands with you instead of with Zhong Yi?”
“… Because we’re at least familiar, my mom and she are colleagues.” Chu Ge held her hand and smiled, “Why does it feel like sothing is burning?”
“Are you complaining about being unreasonable?”
“Hey, actually we should look at it this way… That handso guy who drives the Ferrari likes you, right? I just think it’s normal. Competition brings about comparison, and comparison shows how great I am.”
Qiu Wuji almost burst into laughter, “It’s you… I don’t see how you’re better than anyone else.”
“Give it ti, you’ll gradually see. Look, just compare yourself to Gu Ruoyan, and you’ll know your own rits.”
“Hmm?” Qiu Wuji blinked her eyes innocently.
“Mph, don’t do that…”
In the midst of their playful banter, Chu Ge’s phone rang.
He grabbed it and saw that it was Gu Ruoyan calling to inform them about the progress of the case. “Du Lianfeng and his partner have confessed like madn. They’ve confessed to over a hundred illegal cases related to the Tianmu Group, many of which are long-standing unsolved cases. They’ve arrested several hundred people from the entire group, and the interrogation rooms are overflowing.”
Chu Ge: “Whoa…”
Gu Ruoyan found this reaction strange, “Why are you surprised?”
“Whoa… sigh…” Chu Ge looked at Qiu Wuji with a strained expression. It seed like Gu Ruoyan’s voice had triggered sothing in her.
She really wanted to compare whose hands were softer!?
In other words, actually, this little hint of jealousy wasn’t a bad thing, but rather advantageous, isn’t it?
“Uh… No worries, please continue.”
Gu Ruoyan sounded perplexed, but continued, “So governnt officials have also been implicated, so there might be a minor earthquake. Strangely, it hasn’t reached very high levels. I estimate that the group hasn’t been influential for too long, so the impact isn’t too great… Anyway, you don’t need to worry about this, just knowing is enough.”
Chu Ge sighed, “This group has fallen apart overnight.”
“Do you know where the key lies?”
“Where?”
“The key is that after absorbing Du Lianfeng and Qi Chengtai’s assets previously, now the largest shareholder of the company in na is Mi Xiaolin, who’s been put on the wanted list. The second largest shareholder was Lei Jiangyong, who’s deceased and has no heir. The other minor shareholders have all been arrested and implicated, which ans the company currently has no responsible person…” Gu Ruoyan smiled, “And the reason why Lei Jiangyong set himself on fire, is also under investigation now. At the mont, it seems to lean towards an overseas cult organization’s involvent.”
Chu Ge: “…”
The organization’s leader is called ‘Creator God,’ right? And the female protagonist created by him is currently…
“Whoa…”
“What on earth are you doing? Why the sudden surprise?”
“Uh, nothing. I’m not really interested in how their assets are doing or how many people were arrested. You telling this isn’t of much use.”
Gu Ruoyan said sowhat exasperatedly, “Was I talking to you about the business aspect? I don’t need to inform you about the case details. Can’t you tell that the key point is telling you about Lei Jiangyong? Why do you seem a bit silly today?”
“Uh, I, I just woke up, feeling a bit groggy.” Chu Ge knew that this was indeed the key point of Gu Ruoyan’s call. How could she randomly call him for no reason?
She was indicating that she knew Lei Jiangyong’s matter was your doing, but I’ve helped you cover it up, so don’t worry about that.
“Thanks.” Chu Ge’s feelings were sowhat complex. This was a backdoor approach… In a certain sense, wasn’t he one of the biggest playboys? If he were to turn into a villain, he could be extrely terrifying.
Luckily, he wasn’t.
Gu Ruoyan said, “It’s okay, so matters… you’re inherently special.”
Chu Ge shifted his focus and asked, “What about that foreigner who clashed with Qiuqiu using soundwaves? Any leads?”
“No.” Gu Ruoyan’s tone was sowhat shadowy, “He should have been in direct contact with Mi Xiaolin all along. Now it depends on whether we can extract any clues from the foreign employees we’ve apprehended, but I’m not very optimistic. The other side is very cautious.”
Chu Ge fell into silence for a mont.
Mi Xiaolin has escaped… This matter isn’t over yet; there will be future connections.
Gu Ruoyan seed to know what he was thinking and reassured, “It’s okay, at least Mi Xiaolin won’t be able to enter the country. Under normal circumstances, they won’t be able to act recklessly on our territory.”
“Yeah.”
“As for what you said about the various industries having nothing to do with you, that’s not entirely true either. I don’t understand the specifics of how it will be carried out, but I suspect they’ll be auctioned off separately. There are relatively high-quality comic and animation studios among them. If you’re interested, you could consider buying them and using them. Even if you’re doing your own comics, you’ll need people to assist, various collaborations. It’s not reasonable for one person to handle everything. Sooner or later, you’ll need to hire people.”
Chu Ge was montarily stunned. “This is in Shanghai. I still have to go back to Nanjiang.”
“When the ti cos, see if the employees are willing to move with you. Frankly, it’s not the employees’ fault. If soone can quickly take over and secure their jobs, it’s for their benefit. Anyway, you’re not familiar with these matters, let the people of Black Room handle it for you. If you’re really planning to buy, it’s best to have trustworthy people invest and manage with you. Otherwise, with your business sense? Forget it…”
Chu Ge: “…Do you know well, Miss Gu? Hiss… Oh…”
Gu Ruoyan frowned on the other side. “What’s with that tone? If it weren’t for Aunt Wu telling to take care of you, how would I know what you’re doing in Shanghai?”
Uh, so it was Aunt Wu’s request. No wonder Gu Ruoyan suddenly started acting like an understanding big sister. No wonder she triggered Qiu Wuji like that…
Gu Ruoyan continued, “I looked into it. You’re here to sign a cooperation agreent with Xie Wenyuan. A mber from the Black Room nad Zhu Shenghong is negotiating on your behalf. It’s almost finalized. You can directly go there this afternoon to sign the contract. As for the studio and other things, you can start by signing an individual contract. If you want to change it to a studio contract later, you don’t need to do it in person. You can just send a modified agreent remotely.”
Chu Ge thought for a while and hesitated, “So, what you’re saying is that my purpose for coming to Shanghai will be completely finished after signing the contract?”
“Yes, your purpose for coming to Shanghai was originally for your contract. It’s best to involve as little else as possible, so Aunt Wu won’t worry… Once you’ve signed, you can go back if you want to go back. If you don’t want to go back, have a nice vacation with your girlfriend.”
“Ah, oh…” Chu Ge suddenly shivered and bounced lightly.
Gu Ruoyan was puzzled, “What are you doing again?”
“N-nothing…” Chu Ge looked at the snow white mountains in front of him, his voice becoming ethereal, “This is the ti of wisdom after the dust has settled…”
Qiu Wuji is getting better at playing around… This must be the power of being a jealous girlfriend… Cough. Chu Ge concluded her hand was definitely softer…
Gu Ruoyan hung up the phone in annoyance.
Heaven knows what that guy is up to. Why does it always feel like he’s being molested?
