Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 86: Career Change

Listening to Mu Zong's words, Gu Xuqiao's expression remained unchanged.

"Uncle Mu, this is N City. With the Yin family overseeing it, it is unlikely for those from the Imperial Capital to extend their reach here. Believe me, it will be soon that Nine Heavens Network will sit at the top of this country, and even the big families in the Imperial Capital will hesitate to make a move against us." The words spoken by the girl were soft but firm and clear, and rang loudly in his ears.

Mu Zong's eyes flickered as he glanced into the distance, as though the scene was playing in his eyes. Their company already had advanced softwares to research on, perfect marketing plans, and Gu Xiqiao had also personally designed risk-free financial products. These were just a few of the products they had, but it had managed to attract those financial predators right from the start. That in turn had attracted almost an amount of millions in investments, and with such scenarios, don't talk about standing at the top within the country, even standing at the top of the world didn't sound impossible now, did it?

After hanging up the phone, Mu Zong asked Wang Bo to bring the contract to meet Luo Wenlang.

When Luo Wenlang returned to the hospital once again, Gu Xiqiao had already left. Luo Wenlin was watching a rerun of the afternoon's program on TV.

"Brother! Look at Sister Xu!" Seeing that Luo Wenlang had returned, Luo Wenlin pointed at the TV excitedly, "Sister Xu is on TV again, she's so great, being interviewed on national television!"

Xu Jiayin was indeed good, reaching such a point at such a young age, and her talent cannot be underestimated. However, Luo Wenlang merely glanced at the screen. "Not bad."

Luo Wenlin was obviously dissatisfied with Luo Wenlang's response, "Brother, although Sister Xu is only a few years younger than you, but among her own age group, she's very good!"

"The older sister who took you out today, her name is Gu Xiqiao. She's this year's top ranker in the national finals, and she's closer to full marks compared to me," Luo Wenlang said, secretly laughing at the stunned look on his brother's face and couldn't resist adding in further, "Not only that, the art competition that your Sister Xu took part in last time, she's also the one who took the champion for that. Dozens of major media places wanted a chance to interview her, and yet she didn't agree to a single one."

"She, she, she...!" Luo Wenlin stuttered, before taking a deep breath to calm himself, "How can she be better than you!"

Recalling how he had gushed about Xu Jiayin in front of Gu Xiqiao today, his face flushed red, not knowing how to describe the shame he felt inside. Who knows how hard Gu Xiqiao was laughing at him on the inside!

Luo Wenlin wailed, burying himself in the sheets as the mortification spread through him.

Luo Wenlang stood to the side as he watched him, but his eyes were not focused on him, staring through him instead. He recalled the afternoon's incident, and immediately his whole face became gloomy. Making up his mind, he proceeded to drag Luo Wenlin downstairs without a word, towards where there was a cash machine. Because it was night, there weren't many people around. He immediately shoved his card in the machine, keying in his pin number and selecting the display of balance in his account.

After the balance was displayed, he pulled Luo Wenlin in front to let him see the amount. "Your brother has money now, if you dare to repeat what you said in the afternoon again, then don't call me your brother anymore!"

No one could imagine the alarming panic that had gripped his heart when he heard Luo Wenlin exclaimed he didn't want the treatments anymore in the afternoon. He had spent the entire afternoon screwing up quite a few orders in his delivery job, and he was just lucky the few girls didn't complain to the store manager. He was in such a state up to the point when he received the call, where someone had offered to sign him on for ten years, and was willing to pay him an advance of one million in cash.
