CHAPTER 46: ONE MOVE TO OVERCOME THE ENEMY

Inside the house.

Sheng Yi had just heard everything clearly from inside.

When Gu Yuan came in, Sheng Yi gave her a big thumbs up: "Yuanyuan, your move was brilliant! I was just thinking Chi Yu might get aggressive, but you took him down with one move, hahaha."

Sheng Yi laughed so hard she couldn’t close her mouth.

Gu Yuan went over to pour herself a glass of water: "I’m leaving tomorrow."

Sheng Yi’s wide smile suddenly froze, then slowly closed. She walked over to Gu Yuan and whispered, "What time are you leaving tomorrow?"

Gu Yuan finished her water, put the glass back on the table, and covered it with the lid: "After lunch, I guess." She paused, glanced sideways at Sheng Yi, and asked, "What do you want for breakfast tomorrow? I’ll make it for you."

"Ah—President Gu making me breakfast, what an honor~" Sheng Yi raised her hands and twirled around, showing off.

After twirling, Sheng Yi remembered something: "Yuanyuan, how did you get used to life in the countryside? It’s been four months... Snakes, rats, insects, and ants show up now and then, going to the city isn’t convenient either, and you even helped manage the orchard. I heard from the village chief that you found the distributors for the orchard."

"Yeah," Gu Yuan responded, saying, "Last year’s profits from the village’s mangoes and lychees weren’t much. It wasn’t that they couldn’t sell, but because the distributors exploited them. I stepped in and cut ties with this year’s distributors and found two new ones. The profits will be ten times last year’s."

Sheng Yi’s eyes widened in shock: "Wow, those are really unscrupulous distributors, daring to cheat the farmers out of their money."

After speaking, Sheng Yi noticed Gu Yuan was smiling.

Sheng Yi leaned over and asked, "Yuanyuan, what are you smiling about?"

Gu Yuan slowly said, "Sometimes you can’t blame these distributors for being unscrupulous. There aren’t many honest people in business, because the honest ones are all crushed. Blocking someone’s path to money is common, and everyone’s backstabbing each other. I’m not looking to right wrongs; I’m just another businessperson trying to get a piece of the pie."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yi understood and said, "So the distributors you found are actually other companies under the Gu Group, being the good guy and still pocketing the money."

Gu Yuan shrugged: "This way, everyone wins."

Sheng Yi: "..."

The calculations of a capitalist are indeed the most precise.

"Let’s sleep." Gu Yuan took off her shoes and got into bed.

Sheng Yi closed her mouth that had been open in shock, came over eagerly, and said in a low, playful voice: "Beauty, lie down nicely, I, the king, will pamper you."

...

Outside the house.

The rain wasn’t heavy, but the chilly wind blew intermittently. Chi Yu thought that if he didn’t die, he might as well hang on until tomorrow.

After being driven out by the village chief, he stood in the yard and didn’t leave.

Aunt Cai came out for a look, saw the young man standing in the yard in the wind and rain, and couldn’t bear it, so she said to the old man behind her, "Look at his hand, it’s injured, the blood is seeping through, he looks so pitiful."

The words sounded full of sympathy.

The next thing Aunt Cai said: "Even our Huang has a shelter from the wind and rain."

Hearing this, Chi Yu: "..."

Doing worse than a dog!

Human life is worse than a dog’s, indeed.

The village chief snorted and said, "It’s not like there’s no place for him to hide from the rain under the eaves, but he insists on standing in the yard getting wet. What can I say?"

Saying this made the village chief angry: "Don’t worry about him, you didn’t see what that brat just did. He undressed in front of Yanyan, not knowing shame as a grown man, while Yanyan is still a young, unmarried girl. That brat really deserves a beating."
