Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 660 To Vent One's Humiliation

Soon after Gu Lingfei changed her clothes, Li Guoqiang stood up from the sofa, preparing to take her out for a nice meal to replenish her nutrition.

However, whether it was a coincidence or not, they ran into Song Jiaqi, the "big internet celebrity," as soon as they opened the door.

She stared at the tall and imposing Li Guoqiang and the radiant Gu Lingfei, and couldn't help but pause for a moment in surprise.

As someone who's been through it all, she could certainly understand what games Li Guoqiang and Gu Lingfei had been playing in the room.

However, she really didn't expect Gu Lingfei to be in such a hurry.

Regardless, we should at least get to the bottom of things and see what kind of person this old man Li Guoqiang is!

If the quality isn't good, wouldn't we lose a lot of money?

"Jiaqi, you're back!" Gu Lingfei noticed that Song Jiaqi was looking at her with a strange expression, and couldn't help but greet her awkwardly.

"Feifei, come with me!" Song Jiaqi snapped out of her daze and immediately pulled Gu Lingfei aside.

"???" Gu Lingfei looked at Song Jiaqi with some confusion, seemingly not understanding what the other party wanted to do.
"Feifei, you're being too casual! I remember you said you'd never been in a relationship before, and now you've just randomly picked an old man and given yourself away? How can you be so stupid?" Song Jiaqi said in a low voice, sounding exasperated.

"No, how do you know I'm promiscuous?" Gu Lingfei frowned instantly upon hearing this, and then retorted somewhat indignantly.

"So what did he give you? He couldn't possibly have promised to marry you, could he?" Song Jiaqi pursed her lips and asked with a disdainful look.

"He didn't promise to marry me in the future, but he promised to give me 100,000 yuan every month." Seeing Song Jiaqi like this, Gu Lingfei held back for a while, but finally couldn't help but tell the truth.

Given her ordinary neighborly relationship with Song Jiaqi, she wouldn't have needed to say these things to Song Jiaqi.

However, Song Jiaqi's attitude was really infuriating.

In addition, she had seen Song Jiaqi flaunt her older brother in front of her many times before, so this was a good opportunity for her to vent her anger.

"No, you're not kidding me, are you? He can give you 100,000 yuan a month?" Song Jiaqi's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously.

You know, that's 100,000 yuan a month!
That adds up to a million a year.

According to relevant statistics, there are at most two million people in China who can earn one million yuan a year.

This number is less than two-thousandths of a population of over one billion.

That means out of a thousand people, only two will earn a million a year.

Moreover, and most importantly, Song Jiaqi herself is not among these people.

Based on her income, she could only earn a few hundred thousand yuan a year at most.

In fact, to earn so much money, she had been skirting the law for several years, sacrificing some of her integrity to win over those big shots.

Gu Lingfei, on the other hand, can get a higher income than her just by randomly picking an old man. This is simply outrageous!
"Look!" Faced with Song Jiaqi's questioning, Gu Lingfei didn't intend to explain. She simply showed Song Jiaqi the phone screen showing the money Li Guoqiang had transferred to her.

"..." Song Jiaqi stared blankly at the string of zeros on her phone screen.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of resentment welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but clench her fists tightly.

After all, the most she had ever received in the past was only a little over 20,000 yuan after deducting the tips.

Although it was only once for her, it was a month for Gu Lingfei.

But is there a difference between once and once a month?
"In addition, he also wants me to help him manage his investment company, with an initial investment of ten million." Gu Lingfei felt a surge of secret pleasure upon seeing Song Jiaqi's reaction, and then spoke calmly.

"No, he's gone mad!" Upon hearing this, Song Jiaqi's heart exploded, and her face was filled with shock.

Then, when she looked at Gu Lingfei, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy and jealousy.

She could barely accept the offer of 100,000 a month.

After all, Gu Lingfei has a newbie protection period, so it's understandable that her price is a bit higher.

However, the idea of ​​having Gu Lingfei help manage an investment company worth tens of millions was something she found hard to accept.

Why?

As far as she knew, Gu Lingfei was just a country girl from a small mountain village, and she had no experience or ability in managing a company at all.

In just over two hours, Gu Lingfei was promoted to CEO of an investment company worth tens of millions of yuan. Is that even possible?
If she had known it would be like this, she would have definitely tried to get along with Li Guoqiang!

Who knows, with her looks and ability to flirt, she might even be able to snatch away that amazing old man, Li Guoqiang!
Thinking about this, she was filled with deep regret.

"Hey, you can't say that about him. This is all because he trusts me." Gu Lingfei frowned upon hearing this, and then said with some dissatisfaction.

"You're not kidding me, are you? Do you know what an investment company worth tens of millions means? That means he has at least hundreds of millions in assets. Maybe he's just trying to make you happy," Song Jiaqi asked, trying to reassure herself.

"No matter what, that's between him and me, it's none of your business." Gu Lingfei's expression turned cold, and she spoke in a somewhat ambiguous tone.

After saying that, she saw that Song Jiaqi seemed to want to say something more, so she quickly said goodbye first, "Excuse me, we have to go out to eat now. Let's talk again another time!"

"Hey, I haven't eaten yet! Why don't you take me with you? We're best friends who live across the hall, after all. Now that you've found such a great boyfriend, you can't just leave me behind." Song Jiaqi grabbed Gu Lingfei's arm and said in a somewhat ingratiating tone.

In her opinion, perhaps Gu Lingfei was just bluffing, and maybe it wasn't 100,000 a month, but 100,000 a year.

Therefore, she had to find a way to expose Gu Lingfei's scheme.

Besides, she also wanted to take this opportunity to see what kind of person Li Guoqiang was.
If the quality is really good, then she might be able to find a way to poach Li Guoqiang.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Li Guoqiang, her gaze sweeping over his face and body before finally settling on his tall and straight back.

After all that fussing for over two hours, and with his posture still so upright, it's hard not to have something to think about!
"This..." Gu Lingfei instinctively wanted to refuse when she heard that Song Jiaqi was going to be a third wheel, but considering that they were all neighbors living across the hall, it wouldn't be appropriate to just refuse her like that.

In addition, she could guess that the main reason Song Jiaqi wanted to go to dinner with her was because she suspected that Song Jiaqi was lying.

In order to convince Song Jiaqi and to vent her pent-up frustration, she ultimately didn't refuse outright. Instead, she turned back to Li Guoqiang and explained the situation. "It's alright, since she wants to go together, let her go too!" Seeing Gu Lingfei's actions, Li Guoqiang easily guessed her little scheme and readily agreed without hesitation.

He then took the lead and pressed the elevator button.

Gu Lingfei felt a slight sense of relief, then hurriedly walked up to Song Jiaqi and gave her an OK sign.

"Alright, I told him you wanted to come along, and he agreed."

"That's great! I knew you could do it!" Song Jiaqi exclaimed with delight upon hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, she showed no intention of going home. She simply used her phone to tell her fans that she had something urgent to attend to and was changing the live stream time to the evening.

Then, she followed Gu Lingfei and Li Guoqiang down the elevator.

"No, doesn't he have a car?" Song Jiaqi saw Li Guoqiang leading the way towards the entrance of the residential area and suddenly remembered something. She quickly grabbed Gu Lingfei's arm and asked in a low voice.

"Yes! You'll see in a bit!" Gu Lingfei couldn't help but chuckle when she heard that.

She didn't intend to explain to Song Jiaqi afterward, just gave a casual remark, quickened her pace to catch up with Li Guoqiang, and took his arm, her face beaming with a happy smile.

At that moment, anyone who saw them would think they were a very loving young couple.

Especially Song Jiaqi, who was following behind, felt a pang of jealousy as she watched Li Guoqiang and Gu Lingfei's retreating figures. She couldn't help but scoff inwardly:

"Hmph, I'd like to see what kind of car it is. Why didn't it stop in the basement, but instead parked at the entrance of the complex?"

After saying that, she quickened her pace to catch up, already mentally rehearsing her sarcastic remarks.

After walking for a while, they soon left the residential area and came to the road outside the area.

There are marked parking spaces on both sides of this road, and they are paid parking spaces.

Therefore, residents in the community usually park their cars in the underground parking lot. This avoids paying fees and ensures the safety of the cars, preventing them from being accidentally scratched or having their locks broken.

This is especially true for some of the more expensive luxury cars.

Just as Song Jiaqi was focusing her attention on those very ordinary cars and wondering which one Li Guoqiang was driving, she suddenly saw Gu Lingfei and Li Guoqiang stop in their tracks.

Right next to them was a rather dazzling luxury car worth millions.

Before Song Jiaqi could ask or confirm, she saw Li Guoqiang reach out and open the passenger door, then very gentlemanly invite Gu Lingfei to get in.

This scene instantly brought a sour taste to her mouth. She looked at the car, then at Li Guoqiang, then at the car again, then at Li Guoqiang again, seemingly unable to believe that it was all real.

After all, according to some online rumors, people who can afford luxury cars worth millions are definitely worth no less than ten million.

In other words, about 80% to 90% of what Gu Lingfei told her before was true.

Gu Lingfei has really hooked up with a rich guy this time.

"Jiaqi, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in the car!" Gu Lingfei opened the car window and saw Song Jiaqi standing there blankly without moving. She was secretly pleased and then shouted loudly.

"Oh!" Song Jiaqi snapped out of her daze upon hearing this, then hurriedly went forward, opened the car door, and got in.

Soon, Li Guoqiang lightly pressed the accelerator and drove the car onto the road.

Song Jiaqi glanced at Li Guoqiang, then at Gu Lingfei, and then at the luxurious interior of the car, her heart filled with bitterness.

This was actually the first time she had ever ridden in such a luxurious car!

"Jiaqi, is there anything you'd like to eat?" Gu Lingfei turned around and asked politely.

"I'm fine with anything!" Song Jiaqi met Gu Lingfei's gaze, feeling a little timid for the first time.

Because she didn't know what kind of food millionaires like Li Guoqiang usually ate, she didn't dare to say anything, for fear of making a fool of herself.

“Okay, let’s go eat skewers hot pot! I remember a new skewers hot pot restaurant opened nearby, and I’ve been wanting to try it but haven’t had the chance!” Gu Lingfei nodded and said immediately upon hearing this.

"Ha!" Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Because he knew that Gu Lingfei hadn't failed to find an opportunity, but rather hadn't found someone to share a meal with.

After all, this hot pot with skewers isn't like a steak buffet where you just count people.

Upon hearing Li Guoqiang's laughter, Gu Lingfei couldn't help but glare at him with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.

After that, she didn't say anything, but just took out her phone and started looking for group-buying information for that hot pot restaurant, completely unaware of the strange look on Song Jiaqi's face.

Originally, Song Jiaqi thought that Li Guoqiang would take Gu Lingfei to a top-notch steakhouse or a king crab feast.

To her utter surprise, Gu Lingfei actually suggested going to eat skewers hot pot.

Wouldn't this make Li Guoqiang feel ashamed?
Or is this the truly low-key and sophisticated life of the wealthy?
After thinking for a while, Song Jiaqi still couldn't figure it out. Then, not long after, she discovered that Li Guoqiang had already driven the car there.

"Hey, have you decided yet?" Li Guoqiang parked the car in the parking space, then turned to look at Gu Lingfei, who was staring at her phone, and asked with a smile.

If it were Ruan Mu Ning, she wouldn't be in the mood to look at any group deals right now!

Even if there were discounts available on-site, Ruan Muning probably wouldn't consider taking them.

Because then you wouldn't be able to enjoy the vanity and prestige that money brings.

"Alright, I've already booked it. Let's hurry in and get a number to queue up!" Gu Lingfei said, tapping her phone several times before letting out a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, Song Jiaqi was momentarily stunned.

No, do we have to wait in line to dine with a multi-millionaire?
