Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 369 - 370: Cool! Who Dares to Kick Him Out
Over there, Zhou Yunchen glanced at his phone. Honestly... she’s still the same as ever, blushing and getting angry like a little girl at the drop of a hat. It was a good thing he’d also known Gu Yuanshan for so many years.
After hanging up, he lay down but found he couldn’t sleep. So, he got up and went to the living room sofa to watch some television, occasionally checking his phone. It remained quiet. Zhou Yunchen chuckled silently, his hand resting on the arm of the sofa, lightly tapping it...
The next day, Zhou Yunchen arrived at the company, clearly sporting dark circles under his eyes.
Zhang Niuniu, who had distinctively blond hair, was very concerned. He personally brewed a cup of tea for Mr. Zhou, then hopped onto Zhou Yunchen’s desk and said, "Mr. Zhou, didn’t you sleep well? Missing a certain young lady?"
Zhou Yunchen took a sip of tea before nonchalantly responding, "Where’d you get such ideas? I merely answered a call from a jerk and then couldn’t fall asleep afterward."
Niuniu grinned. "Which jerk has that much power over you?"
Zhou Yunchen, sipping his tea, said, "Mind your own business. By the way, have you found a villa yet?"
Niuniu fell silent, not making a sound.
Zhou Yunchen put down his teacup. "You didn’t gamble the money away, did you? Or get swindled?"
"No." Niuniu scratched his head. "It’s just, Mr. Zhou, I have about eight or ten of my guys who are getting on in years... They don’t have houses or cars."
"So, you played the generous benefactor and divided the money among them to buy houses and cars?" Zhou Yunchen finished his sentence for him.
Niuniu scratched his head again. "Not all of it. I still saved twenty million as a nest egg for when I get married." He chuckled sheepishly, glancing somewhat fearfully at Zhou Yunchen.
In Niuniu’s heart, Zhou Yunchen and Gu Anxi were capable people, different from him, which was why he had always been a little afraid of Zhou Yunchen.
Zhou Yunchen laughed and scolded, "You little rascal! Well, this is a good thing, even if a bit impulsive!"
He picked up his cup to drink some water, then thought to himself: Anxi’s judgment of people is pretty good. Niuniu really is a decent kid, very genuine.
He sipped his tea. "Alright, let’s go to the Gu Corporation’s building after work."
Niuniu immediately said, "What, can we collect another hundred million?"
Zhou Yunchen nearly spat out his tea. "You wish!"
He paused for a moment before explaining, "Didn’t Anxi have us acquire several buildings a while ago? The lease on the Gu Corporation’s building has expired. Little Gu asked us to go and collect the rent."
Niuniu’s eyes lit up with yearning. "Mr. Zhou, does that entire Gu Corporation building belong to us?"
"It belongs to Little Gu," Zhou Yunchen said, looking at the young man with sympathy.
Niuniu scratched his head. "Basically, it’s ours then! Does that mean we can kick the Gu family out of the building whenever we feel like it?"
Zhou Yunchen chuckled and scolded, "Rounding up, I suppose so!"
Niuniu’s face once again filled with yearning. "Anxi is truly amazing."
This is a complete encirclement! She has the entire Gu family backed into a corner. The slightest trouble, and the Gu family will have to bow their heads. They have no choice! It’s like Anxi can tell them, ’I control your raw materials, and your shopping malls and office buildings are on my turf!’
Zhou Yunchen smiled. "Naturally."
Niuniu immediately grabbed the car keys. "Okay, I’ll drive."
Zhou Yunchen gathered some documents, and he and Zhang Niuniu went to collect the rent...
When they arrived, Zhou Yunchen ran into an acquaintance. They found a spot and had tea together. Meanwhile, Zhang Niuniu sat in the office area, killing time on his phone.
Coincidentally, Gu Mingzhu had just finished shopping with a few well-off girlfriends and decided to visit Gu Yuanshan. That’s when she saw Zhang Niuniu.
Gu Mingzhu’s expression turned ugly. She had harbored deep resentment towards Gu Anxi since her previous defeat and wanted nothing to do with them. Yet here was this little ruffian, daring to sit so brazenly in the Gu Corporation’s office area...
The Gu princess was livid. She strode over. "Zhang, this is not a place for you to sit."
Niuniu looked up, saw Gu Mingzhu, and smirked. "This isn’t your place either, is it?"
"This is the Gu Corporation, my family’s business," Gu Mingzhu stated coldly, then called for security. "Throw this man out."
Security guards immediately approached. "Sorry, sir, this is an office area. Please leave."
Niuniu grew anxious. "I’m here to collect the rent! You dare kick me out?"
One of Gu Mingzhu’s friends scoffed, "Stop bluffing. Look at you, your clothes probably cost a few hundred at most. Do you know how much this building is worth? Over five billion. The annual rent alone could crush you."
Niuniu usually had a slick tongue, but with several young women ganging up on him, he found himself speechless. He couldn’t utter a single one of his usually confident retorts and was actually being dragged off by security.
But Niuniu knew how to yell, and his howls were quite loud...
Just then, Shen Congwen came out. "Mr. Gu was disturbed. What happened?"
When Gu Mingzhu saw him, she lowered her eyes. "Brother Congwen, this man shouldn’t be here. I asked security to escort him out, but he created a scene, yelling and claiming this building was his."
Gu Mingzhu looked at Shen Congwen, just as he was about to speak.
In her eyes, there was a faint trace of girlish affection...
This scene was conveniently witnessed by Zhou Yunchen, who had just hurried over. Forgetting Niuniu’s predicament for the moment, he jokingly said to Shen Congwen, "Well, well, what perfect timing! Am I interrupting a scene from the Romance of the West Chamber?"
Gu Mingzhu’s expression changed.
She didn’t have a good impression of Zhou Yunchen, finding him too slippery. It also seemed like he was always bullying Congwen.
Zhou Yunchen, seemingly oblivious to her expression, continued to smile. "Congwen, don’t forget to invite me for a celebratory drink at your wedding."
"Not happening." Shen Congwen’s two words shattered Princess Gu’s dream.
Although she had never seriously considered marrying Shen Congwen, she had secretly fantasized about it. Now, being rejected so bluntly to her face, she felt utterly humiliated... but she couldn’t lose her composure, so she could only pretend not to understand.
Then, Zhou Yunchen added, "Just kidding, don’t take it seriously! By the way... did Niuniu offend Miss Gu again? Are we going to have to drag him to the station once more?"
He paused. "Tsk, this silly kid just split his money with his buddies and was thinking of making another score. And now an opportunity presents itself, eh?"
Gu Mingzhu was on the verge of tears, hating Zhou Yunchen even more.
Zhou Yunchen’s gaze, swift as lightning, flicked between her and Shen Congwen. What was there not to understand?
Gu Mingzhu said coldly, "This is the Gu Corporation’s office area. Not just anyone can come in."
"Oh! Is that so?" Zhou Yunchen smiled, then turned his head to look at Niuniu. "See, this is your fault."
Gu Mingzhu’s voice became even colder. "It was his fault from the start! This place is Gu family territory. Not just anyone can come and go as they please."
Zhou Yunchen nodded. "Indeed! However, Miss Gu, you seem to have made a mistake. This land doesn’t actually belong to the Gu family."
