Chapter 141: Chapter 141: You Guessed It, I Want to Freeload Off Our CEO

Dammit!

It’s one thing for couples to flaunt their love!

But why do I feel like I’m getting shown up by a man and his cat tonight?!

Chen Dongyuan pouted, then silently picked up his glass and took a large gulp of his drink.

He then tried to change the subject. "Hey, uh, Old Gu, seriously, you should stop borrowing money to play the stock market. It’s... it’s too risky! You got lucky and made a profit this time, but what if your luck runs out? You’ll be in big trouble if you lose everything!"

Hearing Chen Dongyuan’s words, Gu Yizhou stopped petting the cat. He looked up at his friend, his brow furrowed slightly.

As if afraid of making Gu Yizhou angry, Chen Dongyuan quickly added, "Of course, Old Gu, I’m not trying to jinx you or anything. I’m just saying this for your own good. If we had some spare cash, we could mess around with it, but if it means borrowing money... we should just stay away!"

"We should just focus on honestly building our business. With the two of us working together, we’re bound to make a fortune!"

"Mm, Old Chen, you’re right."

After a moment of silence, Gu Yizhou nodded calmly.

"Uh..."

Chen Dongyuan was left speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Gu Yizhou couldn’t be bothered with him and started explaining the core foundational algorithm for Douyin that he had just received from the system.

Although Chen Dongyuan didn’t understand the technical details, he thought it was damn impressive!

He was especially blown away when Gu Yizhou summarized and laid out a plan for the "fragmented time" app he had mentioned earlier. It was genius!

Dammit!

’This Old Gu is too damn amazing, isn’t he?’

’I just gave him a simple outline, and he managed to flesh out the entire idea in such a short time?!’

’As expected!’

’Bringing him down... bah, bringing him on board was absolutely the right choice!’

...

Half an hour later.

Gu Yizhou spoke up, "For now, that’s the gist of it. These are just some preliminary ideas. I’ll find some time to organize my thoughts, and you should organize yours too. Then we can create a detailed business plan."

"Deal!"

"I’ll sort it out tomorrow, write up a proposal, and send it to you to look over."

Chen Dongyuan said, now full of passion.

With Gu Yizhou as his anchor, his confidence in their startup’s success had just doubled!

"Mm... The most important thing right now is for you to secure an office space and get the paperwork done. Everything else follows from that."

"I have to work, so I don’t have time for all that. You can just make the decisions yourself."

"In the beginning, the office space can be a little shabby. We can always upgrade later when we’re making money."

"Okay!"

"I get it!"

"I’ll go look for a real estate agent and check out some offices tomorrow!"

"Mm..."

After chatting for a while longer about the company’s details, Gu Yizhou glanced at the time. It was already eleven o’clock at night. Thinking about work the next day, he said, "Old Chen, it’s getting late. Let’s call it a night. We can meet up again for a more detailed chat over the weekend or after you get the company paperwork sorted."

"Huh?"

"What time is it even?"

"The night is young! Let’s have a few more drinks and talk a bit longer!"

Chen Dongyuan said, reluctant to let him go.

"Drink my ass. You might not have a job anymore, but I still have to go to work tomorrow!"

Gu Yizhou shot him a glare.

"No way!"

"Old Gu, is that job of yours really so important? Do you absolutely have to go?"

"If you ask me, you should just quit. It’s not like you need that measly salary anymore!"

Chen Dongyuan pouted. "Don’t tell me there’s a girl at work you can’t bear to leave?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"There are too many girls at the company, so I can’t bear to leave. Happy now?"

Gu Yizhou said irritably.

"Holy shit!"

"I knew it!"

"You dog, it really is about a woman!"

"Speaking of which, I heard your company’s female CEO is pretty young. An ice queen, beautiful and youthful, a total trophy wife type! You damn dog, Gu Yizhou, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for her? Trying to take a shortcut and skip 40 years of struggle?"

Chen Dongyuan stared at Gu Yizhou, his face a mask of shock.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

Yan Luoxi: "..."

Gu Yizhou was speechless because this guy, Chen Dongyuan, really dared to say anything!

Yan Luoxi was speechless because... she was genuinely speechless!

"Holy shit!"

"Old Gu, what’s with that look on your face?"

"Don’t tell me I actually hit the nail on the head?"

Chen Dongyuan said.

"..."

"Get outta here, you loser!"

"I’ve been at the company for so long and I’ve barely even seen her a few times! What kind of mooching could I possibly be doing!"

Gu Yizhou said, exasperated.

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi, nestled in his arms, couldn’t help but purse her lips.

’What does he mean, "barely even seen her a few times"?’

’We see each other every single day!’

’I’m right here in your arms, for crying out loud!’

’Hmph!’

"Uh..."

Chen Dongyuan asked, confused, "Then why, Old Gu, are you so insistent on going to work?"

"There’s no reason. I just feel like being a wage slave, alright?! Is that a crime?!"

Gu Yizhou said irritably, "If you really need a reason, then fine, you guessed it. I want to mooch off our CEO!"

’Honestly!’

’He didn’t actually know why he was so insistent on going to work either.’

’It was just a subconscious feeling telling him: don’t quit!’

’He felt like it was a hint from the system. The system rarely showed itself, but he had a gut feeling that he was more likely to trigger its missions at Tidal Group.’

’He hadn’t had his fill of living an ordinary person’s life yet.’

’So, all things considered, he didn’t plan on quitting just yet.’

’Besides, the company didn’t have any rules against employees owning outside businesses.’

’Another thing was, he was lazy. He was truly lazy now, hated trouble, and didn’t want to lift a finger!’

’So, why not just invest the money, control the company’s general direction, and leave the legwork to Chen Dongyuan?’

’He’d have a stake in the company anyway!’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself smugly.

"Alright, I’m done talking nonsense with you. I’m leaving. You’re getting the bill!"

After speaking, he picked up Xiaobai, turned, walked to the roadside to hail a taxi, and got in. The car sped off in a flash...

Only then did it dawn on Chen Dongyuan.

"Holy shit!"

"You damn dog, Gu Yizhou! You said it was your treat, but you’re making me pay again!"

He shot to his feet and started cursing in the direction Gu Yizhou had left. "Dammit, that dog is a millionaire now, and he’s still tricking me into paying for the drinks! You damn dog, you really are a dog!"

After cursing for a good while, he picked up the last grilled pig dick, stuffed it in his mouth, drained his beer in one go, and finally got up to pay the bill.

...

In the taxi, Yan Luoxi was nestled in Gu Yizhou’s arms, her eyes glazed over.

The last sentence Gu Yizhou had just said echoed endlessly in her muddled mind: *You guessed it. I want to mooch off our CEO...*
