Gu Chenan walked out of the conference room, leaving behind a group of confused people.
Outside the conference room, Ma Bing and others were waiting here. Gu Chenan waved his hand and said, "Come with me."
A group of people came to Yang Lang's office.
Gu Chenan sat on the sofa, then patted the place next to him. Bai Yutian's mouth turned slightly upwards as she sat next to Gu Chenan.
Then, Gu Chenan looked at Ma Bing and said, "What's the situation with Lin Yu in Donghai?"
Previously, Gu Chenan had sent Ma Bing to spread out people in the corners of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Over such a long time, they had roughly figured out Lin Yu's trajectory.
Ma Bing took out a piece of paper from his chest pocket and read, "Young Master Gu, in recent days Lin Yu has been fooling around with flowers in Suzhou and Hangzhou. In just a few days, he has already conquered more than a dozen people, and went all the way with all of them. As for..."
"Alright, alright, alright." Gu Chenan raised his hand to stop him and said, "Get to the point."
"Yes."
Bai Yutian sitting next to Gu Chenan instantly showed a look of contempt on her face when she heard these words.
This Lin Yu is really a scumbag!
Fortunately, I knew about Lin Yu's character earlier from the young master's inner voice, otherwise I would never have discovered it!
Since I have come to Suzhou and Hangzhou with the young master this time, I must let the young master understand my attitude towards Lin Yu!
Ma Bing went on, "Among the several big families in Suzhou and Hangzhou, Lin Yu seems to be wooing the Xiao family at the moment."
"Xiao Yajie, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, is quite close with Lin Yu."
After finishing speaking, Ma Bing added, "But nothing has happened between the two."
Xiao Family, Xiao Yajie.
Gu Chenan stroked his chin thoughtfully.
In the original plot, this Xiao Yajie also had quite a lot of scenes.
Although her status in the book was not comparable to Su Qiaomei, Liu Mengchen and several other female leads in Donghai, she was the first female lead in this Suzhou-Hangzhou plotline.
In the novel, the Xiao family was Lin Yu's first plotline after arriving in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
In the original plot, Lin Yu's reputation had already thoroughly resounded throughout Donghai. In order to strengthen his own power and fulfill his ambition to make a name for himself in China, he set his sights on Suzhou and Hangzhou, which were not far from Donghai.
Coincidentally, the Black Owl organization had just received an assassination mission targeting the Patriarch of the Xiao family. So Lin Yu went to Suzhou and Hangzhou together with Black Owl's people.
After going through a series of typical arrogant routines of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, he not only successfully assassinated the Patriarch of the Xiao family for Black Owl, but also used lies and sweet talk to take Xiao Yajie, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, into his harem.
He finally succeeded in taking over the Xiao family's power.
Until the end of the novel, Xiao Yajie still didn't know that her father was killed by Lin Yu. She even foolishly thought that Lin Yu had come to help her.
The Xiao family was the most powerful family in Suzhou and Hangzhou. No matter how the current plot develops compared to the original novel, the Xiao family is a target that must be won over in order to contain Lin Yu's growth!
But the problem is that his own reputation in Suzhou and Hangzhou has already stunk, and also this is Suzhou and Hangzhou, so the Xiao family is not afraid of him at all.
If he went there and was met with cold sarcasm, he would have to tear his face with the Xiao family on the spot according to his arrogant young master persona.
If that happened, how could he win over the Xiao family?
"Alright, your next task is to buy some gifts, and send them to the Xiao family in the name of the Gu family," Gu Chenan said.
Although his own reputation stinks, he still can't do nothing.
A philosopher, scientist and assassin from the lower city of Zaun named Ekko once said - I would rather make a mistake than do nothing at all.
"Understood." Ma Bing nodded and left the office with his people.
"Young ... young master Gu, do you need me to do anything?"
Bai Yutian next to him blinked her watery eyes and looked at Gu Chenan expectantly.
She really wanted to show Gu Chenan what she could do, to show him how much she despised and hated Lin Yu.
Seeing that Gu Chenan had given Ma Bing a task, she was also eager to carry out a task herself.
Without mentioning anything else, just the four words "carry out task" made Bai Yutian full of anticipation.
She had even imagined herself wearing black sunglasses, pressing the walkie-talkie and reporting to Gu Chenan: "Young Master Gu, mission accomplished."
How cool!
"You..."
Gu Chenan looked at Bai Yutian, stretched out his hand to point at Bai Yutian's little white silk feet, then pointed at his own mouth.
"Come, show off in my mouth."
Bai Yutian was stunned.
This... this task is not what I imagined!
She hesitated and said, "Young Master Gu, do you still want to..."
Before the word "lick" came out, she saw Gu Chenan grab Bai Yutian's little feet in his hands, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Young Master Gu."
Just then, Yang Lang rushed anxiously into the office.
"What's the matter?" Gu Chenan naturally put down Bai Yutian's little feet and raised his eyebrows to ask.
Yang Lang was very speechless. Last night he received the news that Gu Chenan was coming, and early this morning he had notified the company's middle and senior management to prepare work reports.
But he didn't expect that Gu Chenan didn't even listen to work reports, and even spoke so casually.
There was a huge gap between his and Gu Chenan's status, so he didn't dare to ask. He could only smile awkwardly and said, "Young Master Gu, you've worked hard."
"Mm."
Gu Chenan nodded, then said, "Old Yang, I said I didn't come for work this time, so you guys should just do whatever you usually do and pretend I'm not here."
"I'll come by from time to time, but most of the time I won't be here."
Yang Lang nodded and said, "I understand, I understand."
"Oh, right." Gu Chenan thought for a moment and asked, "Have any major events happened in Suzhou and Hangzhou recently?"
Yang Lang blinked, pondered for a long time, and then said, "It seems like something happened with the Xiao family recently."
"Speak clearly." Gu Chenan said.
"It's like this." Yang Lang said rubbing his hands, "The Xiao family Patriarch has recently recruited a group of people from the ancient martial arts circle. According to little rumors, it seems someone wants to assassinate the Xiao family Patriarch, so the Patriarch has sent these people to investigate."
After finishing speaking, Yang Lang added, "As for whether it's true or false...it's uncertain."
"Okay, I got it." Gu Chenan nodded.
"Young Master Gu, please wait here first, I'm going to get busy."
"Go on."
After Yang Lang left, Gu Chenan subconsciously placed his hand on Bai Yutian's beautiful white silk legs, thinking while touching.
The Xiao family recruiting ancient martial artists to investigate something...
It looks like the plot is still the same as the original!
In that case, things are much simpler. With this move, the Xiao family must have gotten some wind of it.
If he went to pay respects to the Xiao family now, with the Gu family's power in Donghai, the Xiao family would definitely try to get on his good side in hopes that he would help them out.
After all, before those Black Owl assassins were caught, the Xiao family wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.
Thinking of this, Gu Chenan directly called Ma Bing.
"Hey, after buying the gifts, come back first. I'm going to pay a visit to the Xiao family personally."
Feeling the warmth of Gu Chenan's palms, Bai Yutian's cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't help but lean closer to Gu Chenan.

From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!
