Chapter 1580: Revenge

Wang Yan didn't see Nan Xiang until the afternoon of the next day.

It was by the flower bed next to the entrepreneurship center.

Seeing Wang Yan sitting on a bench with his legs crossed and smoking, Nan Xiang asked: "You didn't really get together with that Lin Lin, did you?"

"Not only did we get together, but from yesterday afternoon to this morning, we were always together. We really said a lot of heart-to-heart words." Wang Yan raised an eyebrow at her with a smile.

"Then that means she was by your side when I called you last night?"

"Obviously."

"She didn't scold me? Didn't scold you?"

"Both scolded." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "But so what? I have no other advantages, just being realistic. I told her before that I don't get married and won't have only one girlfriend. Although it's hard to avoid some possessiveness later, she figured it out after calming down."

"I don't understand for her."

"What's there to not understand? It's just normal dating. It's hard to say whether there will be a future. Grasping the present is the best. This is what she said, and she also said what era it is, don't hold on to old-fashioned thoughts. I think what she said makes some sense. However, your not understanding makes me not understand."

Wang Yan dangled his legs in a devil-may-care manner, "What's up? Seeing that I've made it, you, who dream of having money and success, regret not having had good contact with me before?"

"Don't be narcissistic. Gu Li said that valuation is just valuation; you don't actually have that much money. Even if it's 500 million, it has nothing to do with you."

"That's her comforting herself. Go look at the news later, search for Zhenxuan Life, and you'll know whether the valuation is useful or not. I'm an industry rising star now; most of the executives of internet companies you can name have had contact with me.

In terms you can understand, it's the high-end elite social circle you dream of—it's about the life of these executive levels. Every one of them is an industry celebrity. They have annual salaries of millions or tens of millions and hold company options and shares.

They have a certain right to speak in emerging industry groups, have considerable connections in traditional industries, have certain contacts in government units, and have certain resources both domestically and abroad. Every time there is an industry gathering or high-end salon, they talk about cooperation worth tens or hundreds of millions.

If I give you an example you can understand, Gu Li's family is a bumpkin in their eyes, a commoner. Whether in assets or industry advantages, they are not something Gu Li and that Gu Yuan's family can look up to.

They have eaten a meal, met once, and said two words with them, and then they have to brag to their friends, saying I met so-and-so last time and said what, to show their high-end status."

Nan Xiang hugged her shoulders: "Aren't you just mentioning them now to show your own high-end status?"

Wang Yan smiled: "You're not wrong, but what I'm doing now is letting them use knowing me to show their high-end status in the future. Do you believe it?"

"I wish you success." Nan Xiang didn't say whether she believed it or not, but she believed it a little.

Because Wang Yan's appearance at this moment was the same as when he said he would have assets of ten million within a few months and assets of over a hundred million within a year. And now he had already achieved assets of ten million, and it had only taken less than three months...

Wang Yan extinguished the cigarette butt and flicked it accurately into the trash can next to him: "What do you want with me?"

"Can't I find you if there's nothing?"

Seeing Wang Yan looking at her with a look of "looking at a mentally disabled person," Nan Xiang asked back, "What's wrong?"

"I'm quite busy. I'm not hooking up with you; it's not okay to find me if there's nothing—this is quite ambiguous. What's up? Do you want to abandon that little trash and throw yourself into my arms?"

Wang Yan stood up and cupped her face with both hands, "Then you have to be early. Because you yourself don't have much value, the more you delay, the less valuable you'll become. Don't glare; two months ago you followed me, and now you follow me—do you think it's the same? Then wait until a while later, when I successfully conduct Series A financing and the company valuation is hundreds of millions—what will it be like then?"

Nan Xiang didn't speak, just stared blankly at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan smiled lightly, pinched her face to play with it, and then turned and went into the building...

"No way, are they really together?" Tang Wanru lowered her voice, with a faint excitement of watching the fun and eating melons.

In the distance, behind the corner of the wall, Gu Li, Lin Xiao, and Tang Wanru were peeking sneakily, and even took photos.

The four good sisters had lunch together at noon. According to their usual routine, the four of them would still go for a walk and drink coffee together, but today Nan Xiang gave up the collective activity and left alone. Thinking of Nan Xiang's private contact with Wang Yan earlier, Tang Wanru suggested following secretly, and Gu Li and Lin Xiao didn't object...

Lin Xiao hesitated and said: "It doesn't look like it; Nan Xiang doesn't seem very happy. It's probably Wang Yan being handsy and taking advantage."

"Nan Xiang is still willing, otherwise why didn't she slap that psychopath's salty pig hand away?" Gu Li hugged her shoulders, "I think it's just that Nan Xiang is shallow; hearing that Wang Yan now has assets of 40 million, she wants to stick to him."

"I want to stick to him too." Tang Wanru said, "Gu Li, actually I think Xicheng is just too lousy, he's simply being slaughtered by Wang Yan... Okay, okay, Nan Xiang is doing the wrong thing; she didn't consider the feelings between us sisters at all. If she's with Wang Yan, where does she put us? It's really unloyal."

Gu Li glanced at her, hugged her shoulders, and didn't speak, lifting her chin slightly to look at Nan Xiang, who was walking slowly away in the distance, for a moment.

Lin Xiao sighed impatiently: "I just can't understand, what's so good about that Wang Yan? Why does Nan Xiang insist on getting mixed up with him? It's really annoying!"

Tang Wanru said: "Why don't we tell Xicheng about this? This time we don't even need Gu Yuan to spend money to incite him; that bastard Xicheng definitely won't let Wang Yan go. Then we'll just watch the fire from the other side and sit firmly on the fishing boat."

"Not bad, I really didn't see that you had this kind of brain." Gu Li praised Tang Wanru for once, looking like she agreed with this idea.

Lin Xiao hesitated and said: "That's not very good, Gu Li, Wanru. Nan Xiang and Xicheng are already distant. If Xicheng finds out about these things, he will definitely start a scene with Nan Xiang first. If Nan Xiang gets beaten by Xicheng again, that would be terrible. Let's not get involved; let Nan Xiang do whatever she wants."

Tang Wanru also changed her tune: "Of course, we are all good sisters, how could we harm Nan Xiang? I was just saying that. Right, Gu Li?"

Gu Li gave a vague "hmm" and turned to leave first: "Let's go, there's no fun to watch."

A few days later, at the entrance of the detention center.

Gu Yuan, who had his hair shaved into a buzz cut, walked out step by step. After seeing Gu Li running over, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and the two hugged tightly.

The happy Gu Yuan even hugged Gu Li and spun around.

"Finally out. Gu Li, do you know? The thing I missed most inside was you."

"Isn't missing me expected? If not, who else would you miss?" Gu Li patted Gu Yuan, unable to help complaining, "You're really something, why were you so reckless? Who couldn't you find, and you had to find that trash Xicheng? What was the result? The police didn't even need to interrogate; that psychopath Wang Yan asked it out. You're simply stupid enough."

"No way, I just came out, suffered for three months inside, and you don't say you feel sorry for me, but instead start complaining about me?" Gu Yuan said unhappily, "Besides, wasn't I doing that for you?"

"I beg you not to do things for me anymore. Let me tell you, you behave yourself this time and don't go looking for trouble with that psychopath. He's a madman, always putting on a look of 'the barefooted aren't afraid of the shod,' and he can do anything. You belong to the category of porcelain hitting a stone; it's not worth it at all."

Gu Yuan nodded: "Can you not be like an old lady? I'm not stupid."

"Heh, if you were really smart, would we be talking here?" Gu Li was merciless.

Gu Yuan didn't argue anymore; he knew there was no way to explain it clearly to Gu Li.

He looked around and frowned: "Where's my mom? Why didn't she come?"

"She's a big boss, a noble lady, busy every day. Anyway, you're out, and it's not a big deal, so whether she comes or not doesn't have much impact."

Gu Li pulled Gu Yuan's arm, "Let's go, let's go eat something good, welcome you back, and get rid of the bad luck."

The two of them said some shameless things and drove into the city...

It wasn't until the next day that Gu Yuan finally returned home.

"So you know how to come back?" Ye Chuanping looked at her precious son gloomily.

"I was locked up for three months and came out, and you didn't even come to pick me up? You're my mom, your heart is really cruel." Gu Yuan complained and threw himself onto the sofa.

Only then did he look at Ye Chuanping properly, only to find that his own mother was exceptionally haggard.

He couldn't help but ask: "What happened, Mom?"

"The company had some problems, it has nothing to do with you. Just stop causing me trouble and let me save some worry. And that Gu Li, you'd better break it off sooner rather than later. This time your matter was entirely caused by her. Although she went to find that little punk, she definitely didn't try very hard to fight for it. You didn't have to carry this stain, but you ended up being locked up for three months!"

"Mom! It was all my own willingness; Gu Li was completely unaware. I just don't understand why you have such a big prejudice against Gu Li. She's so good—pretty, studies well, has a brain, and is a good match for our family..."

"It's just that you have no brain; I'm afraid she'll sell you and you'll still be counting the money for her."

Gu Yuan didn't want to argue with his mother and changed the subject: "Mom, what happened to the company?"

"I told you..."

"Mom, I'm over twenty years old, and in a year and a half I'll graduate. I should know about the family business, right? If you don't tell me, how would I understand?"

Ye Chuanping looked at Gu Yuan, rubbed her temples exhaustedly, sighed, and said: "Actually, it's nothing big. It's just that our family's taxes have some problems. We need to take out more than 30 million in cash for supplementary tax payments and fines. The company's partners heard about this and urged us to settle payments, which affected all the company's business."

"Isn't it just this 30 million in cash affecting our family's cash flow? Why not just mortgage and borrow another 30 million? Our family company is a listed company anyway, 20 million shouldn't have much impact, right?"

"Yes, I've already borrowed money. But the impact on our company's business has already happened. The news spread, the stock price fell, and some people smelled the scent and came to eat our meat. A series of impacts made me exhausted. It's long past the matter of 30 million. Otherwise, do you think I wouldn't have picked you up when you were released? It's just because I knew Gu Li would definitely go, so I was dealing with company matters."

Ye Chuanping let out a long sigh, "It's also because I've been too tired recently, so I came back to rest. If you had been a little later, I guess we wouldn't have seen each other for several days."

"Mom, you should rest occasionally; money can never be earned enough."

"Money can never be earned enough, but it can be lost completely! Doing business isn't that simple."

Ye Chuanping thought for a while and then said, "Stop looking for trouble with that little punk surnamed Wang. I suspect he's the one who caused this. Aside from him, our family hasn't offended anyone recently. But I can't think of how a poor student like him could have any way to do these things? In short, stay away from him."

"Mom, I was sent in by him to stay for three months; I can't just let it pass so lightly, right? Besides, he's still playing dirty behind my back, making our family lose money—I can't let him go even more!"

"Not let him go? What can you do?"

"Anyway, I can't let him go! My friend knows real hooligans, I'll go..."

"Gu Yuan!" Ye Chuanping shouted to stop her son's words, "You don't even use your brain to think. That Wang Yan can fight more than ten people alone. Even if he can't beat the hooligans you're talking about, can't he run? Even if he can't run, do you want his life? After you finish the job, won't people call the police? Then won't you have to go back in? Haven't you stayed enough?"

"Then you tell me what to do. He made me suffer so much; if I don't retaliate against him, I can't even sleep!"

Ye Chuanping was so angry at her son's stupidity that her liver hurt, but she had to find a way. Because if she didn't provide any feedback, based on her understanding of her precious son, he would really do something brainless, and by then, he might be sentenced to years in prison.

She knew that Wang Yan was someone who really dared to say and do things. She really felt that everything happening to the company today was done by Wang Yan, which made her regret it a little. After all, the losses caused to her so far were not as simple as her precious son staying for three months...

After thinking for a while, Ye Chuanping said, "That little punk surnamed Wang is doing quite well in his startup; he raised 5 million as soon as he started. If you want revenge, then prove that you are better than him and can do better than him. I'll give you 2 million; you go copy him and see if you can make it work."

"If you can't make it work, you can't blame anyone. If the 2 million goes down the drain, you'll have gained training and recognized reality. If you can make it work, then I can rest easy and enjoy my life from now on, and I won't say another word about you and Gu Li."

"Really?"

"I'll have someone transfer the money to your card in a while."

Ye Chuanping stood up with an "ouch," and in her eyes looking at her son, there was an expectation that she couldn't help but hold onto, even though she knew he was a loser...
