Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 64: The Return of the System

Gu Xiqiao refused Mu Zong's offer to send her back home once again and walked directly towards the crowd.

One of her hands was stuffed in her pocket while the other was holding her bag. As she was waiting for the lights at the pedestrian crossing to become green, a royal blue sports car stopped right next to her, and the windows rolled down to reveal a devilishly handsome face.

The youngsters in the crowd were all quite surprised by this, and they all pointed towards it and started breaking out in excited conversation. To them, this sort of extravagant car could only be seen on the television and in magazines, and they were all in disbelief upon seeing it in real life.

Gu Xiqiao looked at the car, before opening the door and entering it, and at this point, she had two thoughts on her mind:

One, that a certain Young Master Yin had bought a new car again; Two, was he not worried that he was going to be fined for stopping at the pedestrian crossing?

"Did you come out by yourself?" Yin Shaoyuan spotted her at the coffee shop when he finished talking business with someone else, and he was too worried to let her go home by herself after she went missing the day before yesterday so he waited for her to finish before fetching her home himself.

Gu Xiqiao was scrolling on her phone, and upon hearing this she only hummed in confirmation, before speaking, "I won't be going back just yet."

"Huh?" Yin Shaoyuan almost braked right there on the spot. "Where do you want to go?"

She replied with an address, and Yin Shaoyuan muttered, "That's quite out of the way..."

That being said, he still obliged and spun the steering wheel to go to the address that Gu Xiqiao told him. He couldn't defy the orders of Empress Gu, after all! At this point, he would probably be unused to it if the girl suddenly started treating him gently.

"Are you checking on the stocks again?" He asked, upon seeing her looking at the familiar website out of the corner of his eye.

"Yeah," Gu Xiqiao replied halfheartedly before she saw a familiar stock and tapped into it. "Bluestar has been having financial troubles lately, hasn't it?"

"Huh?" Yin Shaoyuan was quite surprised at this. "You knew about it?"

The female celebrity from before had been fired by Yin Shaoyuan, and because the company had spent too many resources on her—She was featured on a recent drama, but Bluestar bought the rights to it and changed the female lead to someone else. This bought some negative consequences to the company and caused their stocks to drop, but since this drama was based on a well-known novel with a lot of fans, Bluestar Entertainment could easily get a new bunch of fans through this without any consequences by buying the trending tab positions and getting prime time placements...

But Gu Xiqiao knew that Yin Shaoyuan would be able to think of all these plans, so she had something else in mind. "We have high-tech entertainment tools on our hands, do you want them?"

She had six percent of the shares to the company after all, so it was natural that she would help.

The quality of celebrities under an entertainment company's name as well as the tech that they had under their belt was both important. A company that didn't have proper funding wouldn't be able to create a critically acclaimed piece of art, both because of the high price of contracting artists and all sorts of technical equipment and behind the scenes workers, but the best technical equipment couldn't easily be bought even if they had the money for it.

Yin Shaoyuan turned over and looked at her calm expression before smiling. "High-tech entertainment tools? Alright."

"I'll have someone contact you later about it." Gu Xiqiao looked back down at her phone, not saying much.
