The Super Rich: Start from when the family business is about to go bankrupt!

Chapter 674 WPG heeds advice and commits to the project, inviting four dance students to last year's event; Deer Father returns.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On January 13th, final exams began at East Soford College.

Xia Yuqing, who is far away in Shanghai, is also taking her exam today. The Shanghai Dramatic Arts Academy's holiday starts this Saturday.

The exams at East Soford College were too easy; they were all open-book, and An Wuyang even received the standard answers in advance.

An Wuyang didn't pretentiously refuse to answer; it was just an internal school final exam, nothing unfair.

Time flew by during the exams, and An Wuyang and Lin Dongyuan also discussed the issue of meal subsidies for impoverished students.

In the end, An Wuyang accepted almost all of Lin Dongyuan's suggestions.

For example, Lin Dongyuan suggested using the cafeteria monitoring system to monitor every meal served to students applying for and receiving meal subsidies, as well as their consumption patterns and whether there was any food waste.

The second step is to verify the applicant's identity.

According to An Wuyang's idea, as long as the dining conditions are met, one can directly receive a meal subsidy without applying or being reviewed, and thus directly obtain the corresponding subsidy quota.

However, the loopholes pointed out by Lin Dongyuan do exist, so now an application process and an audit process have been added, and a follow-up supervision agreement needs to be signed.

The subsequent oversight agreement will authorize the school to use the security monitoring system in the cafeteria to record relevant information.

This will prevent the catering subsidy charity project from being exploited by various freeloaders.

All other details were also discussed and settled, and An Wuyang decided to start a charity project to provide meals for impoverished students at East Soft College starting next semester.

This winter break was the perfect time for East Soft College to develop the corresponding computer software functionality.

January 14th, 3 PM.

After finishing his exams, An Wuyang took a Gulfstream G650ER to Shanghai.

Zhuang Xiaomeng will stay in Tianfu; she will not return to Jiangcheng.

Because she no longer has a home in Jiangcheng!
Zhuang Xiaomeng planned to stay at Guyanxinju during the winter vacation. An Wuyang originally offered to let Zhuang Xiaomeng live in Kunpeng Pavilion, but Zhuang Xiaomeng refused.

An Wuyang didn't insist. Since Zhuang Xiaomeng had made her own decision, what could An Wuyang say?
An Wuyang always respected his girlfriend's decisions. Zhuang Xiao wanted to stay at Guyan Xinju in Tianfu, so An Wuyang naturally wouldn't interfere too much.

It's better to let your girlfriend have her own things to do than for her to pester you every day.
It was nearly six o'clock in the evening.

An Wuyang arrived at Huashan Apartment. He didn't go to the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Academy. If he had gone, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave.

So An Wuyang chose to wait for Xia Yuqing at home.

Around 6:30, Xia Yuqing, Lu Manman, Zong Chunyan, and Wen Xin arrived at Huashan Apartment.

When Wen Xin saw An Wuyang, she couldn't wait to ask, "President An, when is your annual meeting at 5 AM?"

An Wuyang had previously invited Wenxin and Zong Chunyan to Wugengtian's annual meeting, and Wenxin really wanted to go!
"Next Saturday, the 22nd," An Wuyang set the date for the annual meeting.

The annual meeting at dawn is usually held a week before the holiday, and is not delayed until the day before the Spring Festival holiday.

This is because the people-oriented management plan of Wugengtian (五更天) is what the leaders of Anjia (安家) believe is that holding the annual meeting and distributing year-end bonuses in advance will help employees have a better New Year.

After all, which family doesn't prepare for the New Year?

If year-end bonuses are distributed in advance, wouldn't that allow employees to have a more relaxed holiday?
Therefore, Wugengtian's annual meeting has always been held on the Saturday of the week before the Spring Festival holiday, so that employees can rest on Sunday to recover and then stand their last shift.

"Do you have time to participate?" An Wuyang asked casually.

"Of course I have time!" Wen Xin replied cheerfully.

Zong Chunyan also responded, "I also want to participate. We can go to Shengqing for a week-long trip, and after attending Wugengtian's annual meeting, we can go home for the New Year."

“Okay!” An Wuyang agreed, then asked Lu Manman, “Manman, are you coming to Shengqing with us today?”

When asked about An Wuyang's invitation, Lu Manman replied negatively, "I can't go, my dad is back today."

"Your dad's back?" An Wuyang raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm!" Lu Manman said with some worry.

“Then we won’t go back to Shengqing today. I’ll help you deal with this first.” An Wuyang immediately changed his plans. He had thought this was a simple problem before, and he didn’t find it troublesome now.

Xia Yuqing generously agreed, "Manman, I support Brother Wuyang helping you deal with this matter first."

Wen Xin and Zong Chunyan both looked at Xia Yuqing with slight surprise, then exchanged a glance.

Xia Yuqing's magnanimous personality gave Wen Xin and Zong Chunyan even more ideas.
Lu Manman was secretly touched, but she declined, saying, "No need, President An. My mother told me not to get involved in this matter, and that she will handle it."

"Oh?" An Wuyang was secretly curious about how Gu Qingzhi would handle this matter.

“Since your mother needs to deal with this matter first, let’s wait for the results. If it’s resolved, we can go to Shengqing together tomorrow.” An Wuyang still decided to change the itinerary.

We'll stay in Shanghai for one night to see if Gu Qingzhi can handle things properly.

If handled well, then everyone will be happy.

If it cannot be handled properly, An Wuyang will consider handling it personally.

"Let's go, let's eat first." An Wuyang expressed that since things had come to this, they should eat first.

On the other side, Shanghai Railway Station.

Gu Qingzhi drove her Mercedes-Benz E300L to the underground parking lot, and then headed to the passenger arrival gate to welcome Lu Manman's father, Lu Baichuan.

About ten minutes later, after Gu Qingzhi and Lu Baichuan communicated by phone, they finally met up successfully.

However, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward when the two met.

At this moment, Gu Qingzhi was wearing a camel-colored wool coat, black leather boots, and fleece-lined tights. In addition, she had used the Snow White Essence Cream, which made her skin look supple and fair. She looked like a glamorous urban woman.

In contrast, Lu Baichuan wore a worn-out jacket, and his face was marked by the passage of time.

Furthermore, neither his beard nor his hair was properly groomed, highlighting his unkempt appearance.

Lu Baichuan was also carrying a denim backpack that looked quite vintage. All these elements combined to make Lu Baichuan a great portrayal of a construction worker.

Lu Baichuan looked at Gu Qingzhi in silence, and Gu Qingzhi looked at Lu Baichuan in silence as well. The difference in their appearances was too great!

Lu Baichuan took a deep breath and asked first, "Where's Manman?" Gu Qingzhi replied, "She has her final exams today, so I came to pick you up first."

In reality, Gu Qingzhi deliberately didn't want Lu Manman to come over, because she was worried that the father and daughter would have a conflict if they met.

"Let's go home first," Gu Qingzhi said.

Lu Baichuan silently followed behind Gu Qingzhi, and the two walked one after the other into the underground parking garage. Lu Baichuan frowned inwardly, he didn't remember having a car at home.
So it was bought by Lu Manman's 'boyfriend'?
Gu Qingzhi never told Lu Baichuan about the changes in the family, because she knew that Lu Baichuan was stubborn and had a lot of so-called backbone.

That's why Gu Qingzhi wouldn't tell Lu Baichuan beforehand, because if she did, it would lead to a fight.

When Lu Baichuan watched Gu Qingzhi unlock the Mercedes-Benz E300L, his brows furrowed even more deeply!

He didn't know exactly how much a Mercedes-Benz E300L cost, but he knew that Mercedes-Benz cars were expensive, and he certainly couldn't afford one.

Gu Qingzhi opened the trunk and said, "Baichuan, put your backpack in first."

Lu Baichuan took a deep breath and chose to do as instructed. Then, at Gu Qingzhi's invitation, he sat in the passenger seat of the Mercedes-Benz E300L.

This was Lu Baichuan's first time riding in a Mercedes-Benz, and he couldn't help but secretly admire how luxurious it was compared to ordinary cars.

Gu Qingzhi started the engine and set off. During the journey, the two remained silent.

In the past, Lu Baichuan would have had endless things to say, such as telling stories about interesting things that happened on the construction site, and asking Gu Qingzhi if she was having a hard time at home, etc.

However, at this moment, Lu Baichuan suddenly didn't know what to say.

Because Gu Qingzhi seemed to be living a very good life, especially since she dressed very elegantly, she even gave him the feeling that he couldn't reach her.

When they first met, Lu Baichuan had the illusion that Gu Qingzhi was ten years younger, while he felt a sense of desolation as if he had been afflicted by the passage of time for ten years.

When he stood next to Gu Qingzhi, there was a feeling that the two were not from the same generation, let alone a couple.

As the street scene outside the window became more and more familiar, Lu Baichuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Judging from the current route, it seemed that they were still heading back to Changling Alley.

This speculation truly relieved Lu Baichuan.

However, Lu Baichuan soon became doubtful again.

Because Gu Qingzhi drove past Changling Alley, but did not stop.

Lu Baichuan couldn't help but ask, "Don't you live in Changling Alley anymore?"

“I don’t live there anymore,” Gu Qingzhi replied casually. “We’ll be there soon. My new home is in Xintiandi Garden near Changling Alley, as you probably already know.”

Lu Baichuan fell silent again. He knew about Xintiandi Garden and knew that the property prices there were very high.

In less than ten minutes, Gu Qingzhi drove into Henglian Xintiandi Garden, then parked in the underground parking space under Building 9, and then took Lu Baichuan upstairs by elevator.

Room 901, Building 9.

Gu Qingzhi used her fingerprint to unlock the door and then led Lu Baichuan into the room.

Gu Qingzhi first showed Lu Baichuan around the house, explaining, "The room facing the main entrance is the guest room, the bedroom in the northwest corner is our room, and over there is Manman's dance studio and her bedroom."

“However, Manman doesn’t usually live here; I’m the only one living here right now,” Gu Qingzhi explained.

Lu Baichuan couldn't help but ask, "Where does she live?"

"She lives with that so-called boyfriend?" Lu Baichuan's words were barbed.

Gu Qingzhi gave a soft hum, "Yes!"

"Manman lives with her boyfriend, do you think there's a problem with that?" Gu Qingzhi retorted sarcastically.

"Do you think there's no problem?" Lu Baichuan asked again.

"You didn't know about her boyfriend? I saw it all in the short videos!" Lu Baichuan raised his voice.

"Didn't you know her boyfriend has other girlfriends?" Lu Baichuan pressed on.

Gu Qingzhi calmly looked at Lu Baichuan, neither answering his question nor refuting it, but simply watching him quietly.

Lu Baichuan gritted his teeth and asked, "So you knew all about these things?"

Gu Qingzhi calmly replied, "I am currently the Deputy Financial Director of Tianyin Pharmaceutical Sales Company. My monthly salary is 50,000 yuan, and I receive 14 months' salary per year, which is equivalent to an annual salary of 700,000 yuan."

"In addition, the vehicle we just rode in was provided by Tianyin Pharmaceutical," Gu Qingzhi added.

"This apartment was a gift from Manman's boyfriend. It was purchased in full and registered under only Manman's name. The total price exceeded twelve million!" Gu Qingzhi dropped a bombshell.

Lu Baichuan fell silent. The number twelve million had stunned him!
“Manman’s boyfriend also arranged new jobs for my older sister, brother-in-law, and Xiuxiang. He even arranged for Xiuxiang to teach at a school, and she has a tenured teaching position!” Gu Qingzhi added.

“Baichuan, I know you have lofty ambitions, but sometimes we should think about Manman. Do you really want Manman to suffer?” Gu Qingzhi asked.

Lu Baichuan couldn't help but wonder how long it would take him, Gu Qingzhi, and Lu Manman to afford this house if they worked together.
Perhaps I'll never be able to afford it?
"Baichuan, you said you saw Manman's boyfriend and other information in the short video. You should watch the short video. Given Manman's situation, what do you think her future will be like?" Gu Qingzhi asked a very pointed question.

Lu Manman is indeed very beautiful!

But being a beautiful girl from a poor family might not always be a good thing.

Especially after Lu Manman entered society, her beauty not only did not bring her any advantage, but instead made her a target of covetousness.

Faced with such a pointed question, Lu Baichuan didn't know how to answer, because he did need to watch the short video and understand the situation.

Gu Qingzhi looked at the silent Lu Baichuan and sighed, "Manman will eventually have to find a boyfriend. Her current boyfriend is actually quite good. For example, he gave Manman a peony garden."

“This peony garden is quite profitable. Based on a four-year profit cycle, it generates over one million yuan each year,” Gu Qingzhi added.

"Can ordinary people provide these industries for Manman?" Gu Qingzhi asked.

Gu Qingzhi's meaning was very clear: An Wuyang was Lu Manman's best choice, even if An Wuyang had other girlfriends.

After all, An Wuyang has his own problems. He has a particular "want and want" mentality, which is why he is willing to spend more money and even invest more emotion in his relationships with all his girlfriends.

If An Wuyang didn't have the psychological problem of "wanting both," even wealthy people wouldn't invest as many resources as An Wuyang!
