Chapter 153: Bound to the Childbirth System, Becoming a Winner in Life Chapter 154: Newly Promoted Financial Consortium's Rise to Pow

Protagonist:

Shen Yao

When she had previously chatted with the system, Shen Yao had said that there were three types of people whose money was easiest to earn.

Now what Shen Yao wanted to earn was women's money, with the prefix being the two words "love beauty."

Everyone has a love for beauty; who can refuse beautiful things?

"Is this your plan? It's indeed not bad, but beauty counts as the medical industry," although profitable, the waters within are not shallow.

Gu Jingrun smiled and explained, "Wanting to enter the medical market and get a share of the pie will inevitably touch upon certain people's interests."

Nowadays, the largest market share belongs to Shan De Medical operated by the Zhou Family.

The only ones left competing with it are the Gu Family, the Wei Family, and the Wei Family—three families.

As for those not mentioned, they can all be ignored.

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, "As far as I know, the Zhou Family's and the Gu Family's medical fields lean more toward equipment usage and drug research."

The Wei Family specializes in the health product industry, and the path the Wei Family takes is rather special, but the general direction is still in genetic inheritance.

The beauty industry involves plastic surgery and subsequent recovery; delving deep into it holds great potential."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yao decisively walked to Gu Jingrun's side and sat down directly.

"General Manager Gu, how about considering it? This is a sunrise industry of the future."

"Like the entertainment industry that dazzles the eyes with chaotic flowers, everyone wants to come in and take a look."

But the entertainment industry is not easy to enter; without an outstanding appearance and a young, healthy body, what can be used as a stepping stone?

What Shen Yao is doing now is precisely opening a door for these boys and girls who cherish dreams.

Whether it is a dream of millet or a dream come true, it depends on each person's fate.

Gu Jingrun:...

Gu Jingrun couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "You can always convince me."

"This industry indeed makes money, but I don't suggest using the Gu Family's squad."

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, "Reason"

Gu Jingrun reached out and touched Shen Yao's cheek, his eyes full of pampering, "Division of interests"

Cooperating with the Gu Family, even though he is the Young Master of the Gu Family, cannot avoid a situation where Shen Yao suffers losses.

The Gu Family being able to reach such a large market today is not something they achieved by being vegetarians.

Even Hehuan Film & Television, which Gu Jingrun now fully controls, was once an industry of Grandmother Li Shuli.

Enough to show that the Gu Family is a giant devouring beast, not even letting go of the private property of Gu Family members.

Shen Yao laughed, teasing Gu Jingrun with her words, "General Manager Gu actually wants to dig up his own family's wall corner."

Pushing away the business that came to the door, although Shen Yao was very satisfied with Gu Jingrun's approach in her heart.

Gu Jingrun sighed helplessly, "There is a family and a business to support; compared now, I can only first apologize to the clan."

Compared to Shen Yao and him, naturally the interests of the Gu Family can be weighed and discarded.

This is not a case of favoring outsiders over family; after all, the Gu Family is not his.

Getting it cheap and for free, when the time comes the heir who takes over the Gu Family is not himself, it's too much of a loss.

"I am deeply moved by what General Manager Gu said," Shen Yao wrapped both arms around Gu Jingrun's neck, bringing her whole face over, "For now I can only offer myself in marriage, merely to express my intent."

Gu Jingrun raised an eyebrow, "I couldn't ask for more, but I suggest Young Lady Shen still strive more before marrying in."

"The Gu Family's rules are disadvantageous to Young Lady Shen; life in the Old House is too bitter, it's better to be relaxed and free outside."

He pulled Shen Yao into his arms with a backhand, letting her sit obediently on his body.

Gu Jingrun leaned over and kissed Shen Yao's cheek, quietly speaking about the Old House situation he disliked immensely.

It wasn't that Gu Jingrun didn't want to marry Shen Yao home; it was just that Shen Yao marrying into the Gu Family at this time would be a significant economic loss for both of them.

Shen Yao seemed to say, "The Gu Family is like this, yet can still remain stable for decades?" It can simply be called a miracle; listen, what kind of bizarre rules are these.

Gu Jingrun shrugged, "The older generation is still around; what can the younger generation do?"

"Not just me, Eldest Brother and Second Brother are also very troubled by this."

"Oh, the one who actually best fits Grandfather's intent is actually the cousin, but that's the only advantage he has left."

I don't know if it's because the juniors of this generation have some problem.

Gu Jingrun's choice of Shen Yao is fine; Shen Yao earns her living by her own ability, and the career she will undertake in the future will only get better and better.

Eldest Brother Gu Jingxing is entangled with his own secretary, and Second Brother Gu Jingzhi has constant scandals with artists from Hehuan Film & Television.

As for cousin Gu Jingzhe, he is currently being obediently arranged to go on blind dates with several financial consortium young ladies.

"Yao Yao, being born into a family like ours, wanting to live well, you must have value yourself."

Whether it's value you can create yourself, or value bestowed by the family behind you.

Shen Yao buried her head in Gu Jingrun's arms, completely not thinking that this kind of situation was something she couldn't accept.

If the financial consortium were so easy to enter, how could there be so many illegitimate children kept in the dark?

Women who marry into wealthy families mostly live unhappily, let alone a financial consortium that is even more grand than a wealthy family.

The difficulty will only be greater than imagined, absolutely not smaller than imagined.

"Rest assured, I've long known there would be these things, but precisely because of this, we are the most suited."

Shen Yao looked up, her eyes bright and sparkling as she looked at Gu Jingrun, her heart softening for a moment.

A low, clear, and mellow voice spilled from the corner of his mouth; Gu Jingrun touched Shen Yao's hair.

"Yeah, some people are simply impossible to seek out," he only clarified what type of partner he wanted after meeting Shen Yao.

Shen Yao was confident and dazzling enough, like a bright candlelight in the dark night.

Gu Jingrun admitted his intentions weren't pure at first, but the person in his arms wasn't the same?

As expected, they were the most compatible. Gu Jingrun's tone carried a sigh of admiration.

……

Shen Yao was a medical student; university graduation required five years.

And in those five years, Shen Yao worked as a screenwriter, learned pharmaceuticals, tried her hand in the beauty industry, made a killing in the financial stock market... in short, her daily life was rich enough to surprise people.

Oh, this still doesn't count Shen Yao dating a boyfriend from a financial consortium background.

"Boyfriend?"

Gu Jingrun, dressed in a light gray suit, walked up to Shen Yao and smiled, "Yao Yao, did you forget we're getting engaged soon?"

This July, Shen Yao graduated university; this September is their engagement banquet.

Looking at Gu Jingrun who came to pick her up after class, Shen Yao smiled and hooked her arm through his, "How could I forget? Just didn't expect that with Jingrun having an older brother above and a younger brother below, we'd be the first to settle it."

Truly unexpected; at least in Shen Yao's imagination, Gu Jingrun's two older brothers absolutely weren't people who did stupid things.

But the facts were exactly the opposite: one kept breaking up and getting back together with his secretary, the other couldn't stop flirting and fooling around with various celebrities.

Compared to those two, Gu Jingrun finding Shen Yao as a wife was simply a rare normal person.

Although Shen Yao's background wasn't prominent, her ability to make money breed money and interest roll over interest over five years of university still satisfied Gu Mengyan, the Head of the Gu Family.

Although Shen Yao's current assets were a drop in the bucket compared to the Gu Family.

But these were all earned by Shen Yao herself, visibly on an upward trend.

So their engagement banquet after university graduation came naturally.

The two got in the car; Gu Jingrun watched the constantly rising stock charts while telling Shen Yao about the incident that happened when he left the Gu Family today.

Shen Yao froze for a moment, "Pregnant?"

Gu Jingrun's mouth corner held a smile, "Yeah, Eldest Brother insists on marrying her in.

First, a statement: as the younger brother, I'm very satisfied with this Eldest Sister-in-law."

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao reached out and touched Gu Jingrun's cheek, "Your face skin is this thick, not afraid of being scolded?"

Gu Jingrun backhandedly grasped Shen Yao's wrist, "Mom and Dad currently have no mood to scold me.

Besides, your and my matter was entirely decided by them; this anger can't be vented on my head no matter what."

Shen Yao nodded, but more than that she still didn't understand Gu Jingxing's thinking.

"If he liked her, he wouldn't have dragged it out for seven years. Eldest Brother seemingly didn't do few blind dates."

After dating Gu Jingrun, she had once actively paid attention to the Gu Family's situation.

Gu Jingxing and that on-and-off secretary of his had been entangled very early on.

Over these many years, just from Gu Jingrun's mouth she had heard of Gu Jingxing's blind dates no less than ten times, and Gu Jingxing had even brought female guests back to the Gu Family.

How come the older he got, the more Gu Jingxing lived in reverse?

Pregnant? Gu Jingxing cares? The Gu Family's illegitimate children are not few.

Gu Jingrun sneered, pulling Shen Yao into his arms, "Brain not sober.

Moreover, not just pregnant, she's already given birth to a child, three years old this year."

Shen Yao: ……? ！！！

Shen Yao's face full of disbelief, "Don't joke, this is the Gu Family?!"

Runaway pregnancy this easy, it's not an illogical novel!

Uh, seems this place really is a novel storybook world.

Gu Jingrun signaled Shen Yao not to make a fuss, "Intent to hide, someone helps; moreover Eldest Brother himself doesn't care about being manipulated and schemed against, so of course I support Eldest Brother."

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao reached out and pointed emptily at Gu Jingrun, "I see you're up to no good."

Gu Jingrun counter-asked Shen Yao, conveniently kissing her left and right cheeks, "Not just me; could it be you, this Third Young Mistress, don't support?"

Shen Yao smiled like a flower, "Of course support; Eldest Brother likes Eldest Sister-in-law, the two are so compatible, they should last long and forever."

Marrying the secretary is good, especially this kind of secretary who can't help half a bit.

The Gu Family isn't implementing some patriarchal succession system; kicking out someone who could compete for the Head of Family position is only beneficial to them!

"Speaking of, how are Mom and Dad reacting? Our engagement banquet is coming up soon."

Can't let their engagement banquet make way for Gu Jingxing marrying a wife.

Not to mention their engagement banquet clearing the way for the future; just Shen Yao's face as a Yingzhong nouveau riche can't be slapped just like that.

Not only because of Shen Yao and Gu Jingrun's relationship, but also cooperation exists between both sides.

Those products snatched up crazy outside, related patents are all in Shen Yao's hands.

Gu Group's companies want to make money, can't offend the partner right?

Gu Jingrun leaned to Shen Yao's ear; from afar the two seemed to be whispering intimately, actually they were very proper, calculating accounts one more iron-faced and impartial than the other.

"Our engagement banquet is naturally the top priority; invitations have been sent out, attendees are all political dignitaries and celebrities, how can there be any mistake.

Eldest Brother's side, Dad means low-key wedding, but anyway she gave the Gu Family a child, the due status can be given.

Just Mom is somewhat unwilling; after all Mom's thinking you and I know, whether it's the Zhou Family girl or Gu Group's daily partners, their backgrounds are all much better than this Eldest Sister-in-law before us."

Gu Jingrun's words were still too tactful; Shen Yao's this Eldest Sister-in-law, surname Jiang, given name Peiyi.

Ordinary family background, older brother above younger brother below, parents sick, hospitalized year-round with costly expenses.

Back then Gu Jingxing and the other party entangled, was a drunken mistake, gave money she refused, causing the follow-up drama.

For the Gu Family, this kind of thing counts as black history; Shen Yao naturally didn't hear it from Gu Jingrun's mouth, but learned it from the Big Mouth System's popular science explanation.

Only at times like this would Shen Yao feel even a sliver of wavering toward this world.

Feelings, even with only background, will still give rise to some cliché old tropes.

However, as long as it doesn't happen on her own body, Shen Yao has always not meddled in idle affairs.

Smiling, she patted Gu Jingrun's shoulder, then straightened his tie for him, "Eldest Young Master is willing; even if Father and Mother oppose it, there's no effect.

Moreover, Eldest Young Master has kept a clean reputation for many years; now that he finally has two children, he must also want to find a clear path forward.

In which month is Eldest Young Master's marriage set? This year the time is all rather tight."

After finishing their engagement banquet in September, December is Second House Gu Mingyue's wedding ceremony.

Next year there's also their wedding, Second House Gu Jingzhe's engagement banquet.

Hiss—

Shen Yao blinked her eyes, suddenly feeling that Gu Mengyan's words about a low-key marriage had a somewhat unusual implication.

Could it be... Shen Yao moved her fingers, looked up and glared at the serious-looking Gu Jingrun, "Intentional?"

Gu Jingrun felt wronged, "Where? Father's meaning is just to get the marriage certificate.

At that time invite a few acquainted families over for a simple meal; after all, Eldest Young Master said it, Eldest Sister-in-law is gentle and kind, and even more intolerant of complicated socializing.

Moreover, she's pregnant again, so Father and Mother naturally must be extra considerate of Eldest Sister-in-law."

Shen Yao:... Ha?

Shen Yao's expression was hard to describe, "Eldest Young Master really is..." Serious? Brain muddled or water in the head? To actually be like this.

Gu Jingrun spread his hands, "The matter is temporarily arranged for early December."

Just right, it's half a month before Second House Gu Mingyue's wedding.

Shen Yao leaned on Gu Jingrun's shoulder, "Alright, let's not talk about Eldest Young Master's affairs.

First go to the Company, I have matters on my side that need handling, then eat a meal together, then go home?"

Gu Jingrun naturally had no objection; Hehuan Film & Television is currently operating well, already not needing him to be there at all times.

His main mission going out today is to accompany his own fiancée.

The black sedan passed the tunnel before them, turned a corner and entered an even wider car lane.

In no more than half an hour, Shen Yao's Company was reached.

"I'll go to the Conference Room for a meeting, you rest first," lowering her head to kiss Gu Jingrun, Shen Yao smiled brightly, carrying documents as she turned and went out the door.

Gu Jingrun looked at his own vigorous and decisive Strong Woman, the smile at his mouth corner unable to be suppressed.

The more he looked the more he liked her; worthy of being the person he set his sights on.

On the other side, Shen Yao entered work mode, flipped open the documents in hand and asked about new product progress.

"Everything is ready, approvals are all qualified; right now the whole Factory is rushing to stock up.

Preliminarily estimated market launch time is early June."

Because their goods all have guarantee, after use one can see obvious effects.

Even though not yet on the market, Yingzhong's noble ladies have already ordered quite a few.

Speaking to here, the personnel who came to report had an obviously excited tone, "General Manager Shen, I suggest we can appropriately increase the Mall's stock quantity and site area.

Product quality is our foundation; taking advantage of this current east wind, we can increase publicity intensity."

Hearing this, Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, "Do you have a well-made plan?"
