Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

269-272

Shu Chen only saw lines upon lines of numbers, and her eyes were crossed at the amount of it on the screen. She didn’t understand a single thing Gu Xiqiao was doing at all.

She somehow felt… shocked.

She wasn’t sure why, but she wanted to sigh. Grabbing her laptop, she left the room. Shu Chen felt that only Mrs. Zhang would be able to chat with her. She might as well get some stories on what the two had been up to back in N City previously.

“Jiji,” Gu Xiqiao said, once the door closed. “Be careful next time.”

Jiji raised its mechanical head, holding the laptop that Gu Xiqiao had configured specially for it. “When are you going to change my body, Beauty Qiao?”

Gu Xiqiao sat in front of her computer, still browsing through the files. “I thought you’d want to upgrade first.”

“The upgrade can wait, I want to change my body first. A tall and mighty body is more important now.” Jiji lowered its head, emphasizing again, “Tall and mighty.”

“Oh.” Gu Xiqiao’s tone was flat and indifferent.

Cheapskate! Lazy! Petty! Jiji raised its head, accusation clear in its mechanical eyes, but sadly, Gu Xiqiao ignored it completely, submerging herself in the data once again.

Jiji gave a glance at the data, and it knew the details of Yang Enterprise. The scale of the company was small, and their performance was mediocre. The financial statements are not detailed enough, and there was nothing worth noting about it. Why was Beauty Qiao interested in a company like this?

Gu Xiqiao leaned back against her chair once she was done reading, and started to analyze the entire situation of Yang Enterprise. As she was doing so, the penguin head on the bottom right of her computer started to jump.

Clicking on it, she found that it was Luo Wenlang who was messaging her.

Luo Wenlang: I’ve met the person, there’s nothing special about him.

Luo Wenlang: He’s a bit nuts too.

Luo Wenlang: Even more so than Fu Dongyi.

Gu XIqiao: I know, don’t hold it against him.

Luo Wenlang: … Sure.

Gu Xiqiao: I’ll come in tomorrow.

Luo Wenlang: Okay!

***

The moment he typed the last word in, Gu Xiqiao’s status went offline, the penguin head going grey. He raised his head then, looking at Yang An who was sitting on the sofa in front of him, looking dazed.

“Su Wu, is this really the guy she asked you to bring over?” Luo Wenlang held in the sigh that threatened to come from his mouth.

Su Wu turned to Luo Wenlang, a solemn look on his face. “I swear in the name of the Lord.”

Luo Wenlang stared at him with a deadpan expression. Did you think that swearing by the Lord’s name means you won’t lose a fight? He turned his head to Yang An. “Mr. Yang, how are you?”

Yang An turned to the voice, looking blankly at Luo Wenlang. He felt like he was in a dream. As much as he didn’t care about the business affairs, he was still well aware of what Nine Heavens represented and what they did. He was playing a game that was developed by them after all, and he had once made up his mind to properly study management too.

His lecturer in university had used Nine Heavens as a case-study back then. In a short period of time, this joke of a company had grown into one of the world’s top hundred companies. It’s international influence was not something to be underestimated, but the entire company was low-key, and there weren’t any of the staff or management that had been interviewed on any media platforms.
