I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 381 Trying to save face: Favors always need to be repaid.

308 Dormitory.

Upon hearing that Gu Yifan had a job, Lin Xiangyu and Guan Chao couldn't sit still any longer.

In summary—Hey pro, please guide me!

Lin Xiangyu's family was the best in the dormitory; his father was a high-ranking official in a state-owned enterprise in Xijing, and he had no worries about food or drink.

But that only applies to having enough to eat and drink.

This guy is obsessed with picking up girls, his mind is full of hormones, and he spends all his living expenses lavishly, but he hasn't seen a single girlfriend.

It's strange, this kid has the face of Chen Xiao at his peak, the guy who brought Xiaolongnu home.

But when it came to Lin Xiangyu, well, a whole semester has passed and he still can't find a girlfriend!
It can only be said that this guy has too high standards; he wouldn't even look at most girls.

Guan Chao, although he is a bit better than Xie Xun, is also a child who grew up in the alley.

I grew up with my grandmother and we weren't well-off.

He usually earns a little money by tutoring children or through scholarships, but this semester he has also participated in many activities with Lin Xiangyu, so he is short of money.

When Gu Yifan said there was work to be done, everyone started volunteering.

They weren't afraid of losing face at all.

Or to put it another way.

In the subconscious of the three, Gu Yifan was not on the same level as them.

They're just here to have some fun. They have a career, connections, and talent.

In addition, Gu Yifan's calm and mature personality makes him seem unlike his peers.

Lin Xiangyu and the others didn't treat him as someone their own age.

So Gu Yifan's previous worry that it would hurt the three people's self-esteem was completely unfounded.

Quite the opposite.

“The three of us have been wanting to work for you for a long time, but we just haven’t had the chance yet. You can’t just take Xun Ge along and not take the two of us along.”

Lin Xiangyu, a native of Xijing, spoke to Gu Yifan with a half-baked smile in his broken Shanghai dialect.

"That's right, that's right." Guan Chao was a little shy, but he nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan laughed and said, "Xiang Yu, if you don't go home for the New Year, won't your old man come and arrest you?"

Lin Xiangyu scoffed, "Pshaw, my dad's busy with the company, he doesn't have time to worry about me."

"Besides, the old man has long wanted to send me to work to gain experience. If he knew that I was willing to be self-reliant, he would be overjoyed."

"Tell me what we're going to do first," Guan Chao said impatiently.

Gu Yifan didn't keep them in suspense.

Tell them that Eleba is going to start expanding.

"Go talk to merchants about business and join the company, and you can get a commission. You can do this in Shanghai or in the surrounding areas. Travel expenses will be reimbursed in the surrounding areas, and the commission will be higher."

"If you do well, you can become a boss in the future."

Relying solely on Gu Yifan's company, it's a pipe dream to seize the market.

Therefore, we need to find more people to establish branch offices across the country to generate business for the company.

Gu Yifan wasn't exaggerating when he said that in the early stages of seizing market share, it was necessary to spend a lot of money.

If Lin Xiangyu and his friends can seize the opportunity, they might not be able to become rich overnight, but they are guaranteed to be worth tens of millions after graduation.

This is a huge cake; even if Gu Yifan takes the biggest slice, he can't eat it all.

The rest is simply a matter of how to divide it.

Of course, it's too early to talk about these things now. If Lin Xiangyu and the other two want to do this, they should start by doing sales.

Not only them, but everyone in the company except Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu basically had to go out to do business.

"You can discuss the specific terms with the company, but as long as you're willing to swallow your pride, you're guaranteed to make money. Whether you can get a car or not is up to you."

"Get a car?!"

Xie Xun was shocked, his eyes shining, "Really?"

"Wow!" Lin Xiangyu was also tempted. These days, although cars are not uncommon, it is rare to own a car while in college.

Guan Chao was so excited that his cheeks flushed, which was even more noticeable against his fair skin.

Gu Yifan sighed helplessly. All that you heard about was buying a car.

Wait a minute, isn't this just making empty promises in advance?
No, no, no, Gu Yifan never lies. How can something that can be obtained be called empty promises?

"That's right, so keep up the good work, guys! By the way, if anyone else in our class wants to do it, feel free to ask them to join us."

After showing off, Gu Yifan waved his sleeve and left.

I was still excited and had already started fantasizing about how cool I would look at school with a new car.

Xie Xun, in particular, couldn't stop smiling. He was determined not to tell anyone yet and to give Xiao Jing a surprise when she came back.

"If Xiaojing comes back next semester, I'll drive my new car to the train station to pick her up. She'll be so happy."

Lin Xiangyu nodded in agreement, "If I could get a Mercedes-Benz, lots of girls would definitely fall in love with me."

"Wake up, kid! They're not in love with you, they're in love with your car!" Guan Chao rolled his eyes and said.

"The car is mine, and so is the person. So, rounding it up, it's practically the same as falling in love with me." Lin Xiangyu didn't seem to care, and was quite open-minded.

"Wait a minute." Guan Chao suddenly remembered something and stood up abruptly.

"what happened?"

Seeing the bewildered Lin Xiangyu and Xie Xun, Guan Chao scratched his head, pointed to the chaotic dormitory, and said helplessly.

"Damn it! No wonder they left so fast. We'll have to clean up all this stuff."

Lin Xiangyu's smile froze.

Xie Xun, on the other hand, stood up with a smile and said, "Hey, they've already helped us make money, why would the big boss do this dirty and tiring work? Guan Chao, you're being insensible!"

"I've cleaned it up for him. Oh, and go next door and drag the monkeys back so we can clean them up together!"

Lin Xiangyu and Guan Chao exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.

"Brother Xun is already in the shape of Little President Gu." Lin Xiangyu mouthed to Guan Chao.

The two burst out laughing.

Xie Xun was the only one who looked completely bewildered. "What are you laughing at? There's nothing funny about it."

time flies.

The end of the month is fast approaching, and exams are just around the corner.

Strangely enough, the more nervous I was before entering the exam room, the more relaxed I felt the moment I stepped out.

Laughter and joy have returned to the campus.

Of course, a few unlucky ones were caught cheating and had to retake the course on the spot, looking utterly miserable. They probably wouldn't have a good New Year.

Fortunately, Gu Yifan's cheating was very successful.

It has to be said that college students will do anything to avoid failing their courses.

Guan Chao actually stood outside the classroom, openly cursing—no, he should say using profanity as a code.

Gu Yifan was different. He directly printed out a cheat sheet on his computer and copied it openly throughout the entire process. The teacher pretended not to see it and turned a blind eye.

The others, filled with envy, were moved to tears.

It's because Gu Yifan had just promised the dean around Christmas that he would donate 20 million yuan to the department as a reward to support student entrepreneurship and the filming of a campus documentary.

In addition, Gu Yifan boasted to the vice president that Eleba would provide Tongji University with a large number of job opportunities next graduation season.

This guy is the department's cash cow; turning a blind eye to him is already unfair to him. We should just turn a complete blind eye.

Gu Yifan commented on this: It's good to be rich.

No wonder wealthy people like to donate money to their alma mater.

The exam is over, and I am leaving the examination room.

Gu Yifan drove Xie Xun to their date.

Xiaojing School gate.

"Hey, that car looks so cool."

Xiao Jing and her roommates were standing at the door, eagerly waiting.

As a black SUV drove up in the distance, several girls whispered among themselves.

They couldn't tell the price of the car, but just by looking at its design, it was much better than the Volkswagen Santana on the street.

"That car wouldn't happen to be the one your boyfriend drives, Xiaojing, would it?"

Faced with her roommate's question, Xiao Jing, who was feeling a little uneasy, smiled and calmly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm not really sure, maybe."

"Xiaojing, your boyfriend is really something! Last time he drove a Mercedes-Benz, and this time it's all thanks to him for picking us up. Otherwise, getting to the train station would have been such a hassle, just taking a taxi would have cost a lot. Oh, here he comes, it really is!"

The Land Rover came to a smooth stop at the intersection, right in front of Xiao Jing and the others.

Xiao Jing's previously anxious and insecure heart immediately calmed down, and she was just about to smile and greet everyone.

Unexpectedly, it was Gu Yifan who stepped out of the driver's seat.

Xiao Jing was taken aback.

"It's him! Wow, that Tongji University heartthrob, he's been here before!"

Xiao Jing was a little reserved and timidly greeted Gu Yifan, "Hello, Brother Gu."

For some reason, she always felt guilty in front of Gu Yifan, looking at his life and hearing Xie Xun describe how rich Gu Yifan was.

That feeling of inferiority kept welling up inside me.

At this moment, the back door opened, and Xie Xun jumped out of the car, running eagerly to Xiao Jing's side and putting his arm around her shoulder. "Did you miss me?"

"Brother Xun, you're here~" Xiao Jing smiled.

"Oh my, look who's the busy guy here. Thanks for taking us to the station, Brother Xun."

Xie Xun greeted Xiao Jing and her roommates with a smile.

“My car isn’t spacious enough to fit, so I’m getting a wider one.”

Gu Yifan stood aside with a smile, not participating, after all, he wasn't the main character today.

It's clear that Xiao Jing's roommates all think Xie Xun is very rich, and because of this, Xiao Jing and Xie Xun are put on a pedestal.

"Alright, let's get in the car first." Although Xie Xun really wanted to talk to Xiao Jing more, he caught a glimpse of Gu Yifan standing silently to the side, so he quickly called to the girls.

There were four of them in total, and they were planning to go to the south together to work as part-time models.

"This car is so big, it can definitely fit all the luggage. By the way, how do you open the trunk?"

"I'll do it, you guys go up and sit down."

Seeing that several girls wanted to put their luggage away, Xie Xun quickly ran over and said something.

When Xie Xun heard the price of the car, his eyes went black. If it were scratched or damaged, he wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it even if he sold his car.

While the girls were chattering away, they got on the bus.

Xie Xun and Xiao Jing walked to the back of the car.

"Sorry, Xun-ge, I'm sorry to have troubled you and your classmate," Xiao Jing said apologetically.

"Oh, don't bother me. I want to spend more time with you, Xiaojing. After all, I won't see you for two months. I'll miss you."

Xie Xun carefully carried the luggage, trying his best not to touch anything.

Xiao Jing looked at it, pursed her lips, and said, "I'm also reluctant to part with you. This isn't about making money. By the way, this car must be very expensive, right?"

Xie Xun, oblivious to his girlfriend's expression, exclaimed dramatically, "Expensive? That's outrageous!"

Xiao Jing was somewhat dismissive, "This car can't possibly be as expensive as your last Mercedes, can it?"

Xie Xun shook his head, smacked his lips, and said mysteriously, "This one is worth three of those. It's a car that Little Gu just bought less than two months ago. What do you think?"

Xiao Jing's eyes widened immediately, and she stammered in a low voice, "Three or three cars?" "Wouldn't that cost three or four million? That's too much trouble for them. How much would the gas cost along the way?"

Xie Xun finally loaded everyone's luggage into the car, breathed a sigh of relief, and gave his girlfriend some instructions.

"So you should tell them not to touch or move anything, otherwise I really won't be able to explain it to CEO Gu."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing's expression became even more complicated, and she nodded.

"How long would it take the two of us working to earn this much money? Twenty years, thirty years?"

Xie Xun was taken aback, remembering Gu Yifan's promise to take him to work, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

"Hey, why think about these things? As long as we work together, we'll have a car, and we'll have bread too!"

As he spoke, Xie Xun chuckled and placed his hands on Xiao Jing's shoulders. "Cheer up, you've got a billionaire boss as your driver."

"Go away, who said we're husband and wife?" Xiao Jing was amused by Xie Xun. Then, after thinking for a moment, she took Xie Xun's arm and chuckled, "You're not allowed to secretly take care of things while I'm gone. You'll understand when I get back."

After hearing this, Xie Xun's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Definitely."

"Tch," Xiao Jing rolled her eyes, then thought for a moment and said shyly, "The train is at six in the afternoon, so... how about we find a short-stay room to rest for a bit?"

Xie Xun's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, his smile as radiant as a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Yes, yes!"

After Xie Xun and Xiao Jing got into the car, Gu Yifan started the car and drove towards the train station.

But soon they stopped in front of a restaurant that looked expensive.

"We still have time. Let's go have a meal as a farewell dinner for Xiaojing."

After Gu Yifan turned off the engine, he said to Xie Xun, who was stunned.

"Hey, hey, that won't do." Xie Xun waved his hand immediately upon hearing this, but was interrupted by Gu Yifan.

"It's just a meal." Gu Yifan stretched, his handsome profile stunning the girls, and smiled. "Besides, I'm hungry too. I've been taking exams all morning, you can't just not let me eat, can you?"

Xie Xun then nodded.

The girls were very excited and whispered to Xiaojing, talking about their private matters.

Although Xiaojing felt embarrassed, she still felt a little flattered by her roommates' praise and compliments.

Gu Yifan and Xie Xun walked behind.

Xie Xun looked embarrassed. "Thanks, Mr. Gu. Would you like to have dinner with me?"

"Hold it in." Gu Yifan interrupted Xie Xun, glancing at him sideways.

"You're just being polite with me."

Xie Xun blushed; he knew he definitely couldn't afford to treat them to this meal.

"It's okay, I'm happy." Gu Yifan patted Xie Xun on the shoulder. "When you make money, just pay me back for two meals."

"No problem, all three meals are fine!" Xie Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Yifan nodded before following Xie Xun inside.

When Xie Xun approached him and asked to borrow his car, Gu Yifan knew it must be because of Xiao Jing again.

Sure enough, it was Xiao Jing's roommate who was reluctant to spend the money on a taxi and kept pestering Xiao Jing to ask Xie Xun to drive them.

To be honest, Gu Yifan felt that continuing to act like this was not a sustainable solution.

The lie will be exposed one day.

Xiao Jing wanted to save face, so she dragged Xie Xun along and had to put on a brave face.

But Xie Xun was willing to do it himself; he was willing to give anything for Xiao Jing.

Gu Yifan did not comment on whether Xie Xun's feelings were worth it.

If Xiao Jing doesn't cause trouble, how can Xie Xun owe her a favor?
You owe many favors, but you have to repay them all.

In addition, Gu Yifan also hoped that Xiao Jing could understand that if she followed Xie Xun well, she would have these things in the future.

The lunch was a delightful experience for both host and guests, with Gu Yifan having specially chosen Chongqing-style home-cooked dishes.

Judging from Xie Xun's eyes, if he were a girl, he would probably fall completely in love with Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan: Ugh, I've also been corrupted by this damned social niceties, and I've started using this whole "buying people's hearts" thing.

TRAIN STATION.

Watching Gu Yifan wave goodbye and leave.

Xie Xun breathed a sigh of relief, lit a cigarette, and waited.

A moment later, Xiao Jing ran over and threw herself into Xie Xun's arms. "I've already told them we'll meet at five o'clock, Xun-ge~ I'm yours now~"

Hearing Xiaojing's soft voice, Xie Xun swallowed hard, threw the cigarette he had just lit on the ground and stomped it out. Then, to Xiaojing's surprise, he picked her up by the waist.

"Ah! Brother Xun, why are you putting me down? There are so many people here."

Xiao Jing blushed with embarrassment and patted Xie Xun's shoulder softly. Xie Xun didn't care, "I'm holding my own wife, who dares to gossip?"

Nearby budget hotels.

Two hours later, Xie Xun entered a state of sage-like tranquility, leaning comfortably against the bedside and smoking.

Xiao Jing, wrapped in a bath towel after her shower, came out and scolded him, "Brother Xun! How many times have I told you not to smoke in bed? If you burn the sheets, you'll have to pay for it!"

"Oh dear, I'm just enjoying myself too much, I can't go without one." Xie Xun grinned as he stubbed out his cigarette, pulled Xiao Jing over, and reached under the towel to grope around.

Xiao Jing playfully slapped Xie Xun's restless hand.

"We're leaving soon, stop fooling around."

Xie Xun then looked somewhat regretful and muttered, "There's still some time."

Xiao Jing bit her lip and turned around. "Brother Xun, I want to talk to you."

Xie Xun calmed down and nodded, "Go ahead and say it."

"Young Master Gu, you've been a huge help to us. Have you thought about how to thank him?"

"What are you thanking me for? We've already agreed that once I make some money, I'll treat him to three meals in a row!" Xie Xun said with a silly grin.

"Get lost, do you think they owe you that little bit of food?" Xiao Jing frowned.

"Well, then we don't have anyone else that anyone would want us," Xie Xun said, feeling wronged.

Xiao Jing still frowned.

Xie Xun knew she felt uncomfortable because she always owed people favors and couldn't repay them, so he took her hand and said...

"Oh, I know what you mean. Mr. Gu is a good person and loyal. It's my honor to have such a roommate."

"Don't worry, we'll try not to bother them in the future. I, Xie Xun, will repay this kindness even if it means working like a slave."

"Even if you work like a slave, people won't care," Xiao Jing pouted.

Xie Xun scratched his head and chuckled, "Then I'll just have to live that life a few more times."

Xiao Jing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Brother Xun, it's good that you know. If possible, you must maintain a good relationship. It would be even better if you could go to General Manager Gu's company after graduation."

Xie Xun scoffed, "What? They might not even want me. Okay, I know, I know."

As he spoke, Xie Xun suddenly curled his lips into a wicked smile and abruptly yanked the bath towel in his hand.

As Xiao Jing exclaimed in surprise, Xie Xun lunged forward again, baring his teeth and claws.

"No time!!!"

"There's still some left, let me finish this quickly, okay?"

Gu Yifan was unaware of the private conversation between Xie Xun and his wife.

Even if they knew, they would just laugh it off.

Xiao Jing is actually a nice girl, and she's thoughtful, but she's also a bit vain.

But this is the norm for most people.

Gu Yifan timed it perfectly and drove back to school.

He helped Xie Xun for two reasons: it was a small favor, and Xinling had an exam that afternoon.

By the time Xie Xun returned, Xinling had just finished her exams.

Gu Yifan hadn't been standing by the car for long when he saw three beautiful figures walking out of the examination hall.

Xinling spotted Gu Yifan waiting by the roadside at a glance. Her usually quiet and pretty face was now beaming with joy.

He jogged over to Gu Yifan.

"Brother!"

"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Seeing Xinling running, Gu Yifan quickly took a few steps over, opened his arms and hugged the soft, delicate body of the girl who rushed into his embrace.

A faint fragrance drifted from Xinling's hair into Gu Yifan's nose.

Cyndi is increasingly resembling an artistic young woman, fresh and elegant, like a lotus emerging from the water.

If she hadn't said anything, no one would have guessed that such a healthy, rosy-cheeked girl had a serious congenital heart disease.

Passing students all cast curious glances their way.

Xinling blushed slightly and stepped back a little from Gu Yifan's warm embrace, but she didn't go too far.

She still tightly hugged Gu Yifan's arm, clinging to his side like a little bird seeking shelter.

At this moment, Erxi and Xia Xingchen also came over.

"Brother Yifan~ Come pick up Xinling."

Erxi greeted them with a smile first, and Xia Xingchen's gaze immediately fell on Gu Yifan's face. She also called out softly, "Hello, Brother Yifan."

"Yes, the exam is over. How did it go?" Gu Yifan nodded and asked.

"That stinky old man kept staring at me, so I didn't dare to take out the little note I had prepared," Erxi pouted, indignantly.

"I think the questions are all quite easy, and I've memorized them all," Xia Xingchen said with a smile. "I should be able to get a good score."

This might be the difference between boys and girls. Lin Xiangyu and his classmates were cramming at the last minute, only thinking about how not to fail.

"That's fine then. Let's go out together tonight to celebrate the end of the exams," Gu Yifan said after thinking for a moment.

He had told Miss Lin in advance that his roommates might have a dinner party that night.

Miss Lin also agreed that he could go back a little later.

"Really!" Erxi exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's my treat, a big meal," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

But Erxi's happiness didn't last long before Xia Xingchen poured cold water on her, saying, "Erxi, have you forgotten? There's a class reunion tonight."

Upon hearing this, Erxi's face immediately fell. Rather than eating barbecue in the cold winter, she would rather have a big meal with Gu Yifan and Xinling.

The key is that she has to pay for it! Xingchen doesn't!
Erxi: I'm so angry!!!
"Stars~"

Erxi adopted a coquettish attitude.

But Xia Xingchen had anticipated this and interrupted Erxi directly, "Don't look at me, there's nothing I can do, you've already signed up."

"What kind of class reunion?" Gu Yifan asked curiously.

They're only freshmen and they're already having a class reunion.

Erxi explained, somewhat annoyed, that the boys planned to have a barbecue on the teaching building.

Gu Yifan: "???"

Are college students these days really this wild? Also, what genius came up with the idea of having barbecue on a rooftop in the dead of winter?

Just then, a male voice suddenly broke in.

"Hey, isn't this Xingchen and Xinling? How did you do on the exam?"

Gu Yifan turned his head to look when he heard the sound.

A question mark appeared on his face.
