My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 243 - 216: Chasing Wind Scumbag Girl Group

[Xu Manning transfers 50% of 'Wansheng Technology Information Company' shares, equivalent to 222,500 yuan.]

[Number of lottery draws obtained: 5.]

[Remaining amount needed to unlock the next lottery draw: 47,360 yuan...]

After returning from Shuiguan Great Wall to the city, Li Peifeng didn't follow the others to the restaurant but went home briefly before heading to Jintian City to retrieve his and Wu Wenyue's ID cards and handed them to a young guy responsible for processing the share transfer procedures.

This young guy was pretty efficient. Just as Li Peifeng returned to the restaurant and sat down to eat with everyone, he received a system notification.

Presumably, the guy managed to submit the documents to the business bureau before they closed, but as Li Peifeng heard, even if the paperwork was submitted, it would take five to ten working days for approval before it officially takes effect...

"Or maybe this is just the speed of the system."

Li Peifeng was quite pleased with this, thinking that it's never a bad thing to get things sooner, as the sooner it's in the bag, the safer it is. But the surprises didn't end there; the number of lottery draws rewarded by the system was more than he imagined.

It wasn't three draws, but five.

Upon seeing the system notification, Li Peifeng realized something.

Because neither he nor Wu Wenyue had a car purchase quota, Xu Manning bought a car for them. They couldn't drive it legally, so they bought a shell company with a car quota, bought a car through the company, and gifted it to the two, costing 450,000 yuan at the time.

Now since Xu Manning wanted to gift the car to the two, she had to give it along with the company, with each holding 50% of the shares. The system converted this to half of 450,000 yuan, which is quite fair and just...

"Five lottery chances, what would be the best thing to win?"

Li Peifeng, feeling a bit flush with wealth, kept staring at the lottery wheel during the meal, pondering over which prize would be most practical.

Or maybe I want everything? The possibility is low; it's unlikely to go empty-handed with five lottery draws.

"What are you thinking about?" Wu Wenyue nudged him and said, "Everyone's discussing your account positioning, why aren't you chiming in?"

Li Peifeng replied, "I think what you guys said makes sense. A lifestyle account focusing on looks and singing or sharing content, this positioning is quite suitable for me. I don't have to spend too much time on shooting videos... By the way, once your injury gets better, we can go to the gym and shoot some workout videos, showing off our physique."

Wu Wenyue nodded, "Sure, but my back is still aching. I feel it'll take at least half a month before I can exercise."

With that, she sighed, "The match I mentioned earlier is tomorrow, I wonder if I'll be able to run through the whole game."

The injury, Wenyue's injury...

Li Peifeng suddenly had an idea for the reward he wanted to draw, thoughtfully saying, "I'll give you a massage when we go back, maybe it'll get better right away."

"Brother Feng, let me toast to you."

At this moment, the girl sitting to Li Peifeng's right held up her glass, ready to toast him.

Gu Jinyu, responsible for the studio's operations, a third-year student and a dance major. Back when Wu Wenyue and Li Peifeng invited her to join, the reason was simply because this girl... is good-looking!

With fair skin, clear bright eyes, a pure and slightly aloof appearance, her features were very distinctive, and she had a great figure.

Moreover, she was proficient in dancing, which in a short video team is equivalent to a 'choreographer'. In the future, as the studio grows and considers expanding the cast, Gu Jinyu might very well be the first to be signed.

"Thanks for the treat, the food is especially delicious."

Gu Jinyu downed the sparkling wine in her glass after speaking, her ears slightly reddening, but she quietly watched Li Peifeng.

"If it's good, then eat more."

Li Peifeng chuckled, also taking a sip of his drink.

Gu Jinyu hesitated for a moment and then asked, "I heard from Sister Yue yesterday that a month from now, there might not be any layoffs, and everyone will become regular employees and stay, is that true?"

"That's correct. Everyone's abilities are excellent, and the development of the studio relies on everyone's efforts. In the future, you'll not only be managing my account but possibly also going down the acting route, with workload gradually increasing, so there won't be any layoffs."

"That's great!"

"Will there be further recruitment?"

"Yes, that's a possibility."

"Haha, hearing this news makes the meal even more enjoyable, otherwise I'd always be worried about getting laid off."

"Exactly, that would be so embarrassing."

"Come on, eat up, try this roast duck..."

The meal was a Hong Kong-style hotpot, over six hundred yuan per person. The table was loaded with king crabs, Boston lobsters, Antarctic shrimps, large peony shrimps, East Star spot, French foie gras, Siberian caviar roast duck, four-head abalone, high-end vegetables and fruits airlifted from Miyun, and exquisite desserts.

The studio members, having finished discussing Li Peifeng's account positioning, were visibly more cheerful after hearing from him about the cancellation of layoff plans. They eagerly started enjoying the food, chatting about various topics, or joking around.

"Distribute this money to them."

Seeing the lively atmosphere, Li Peifeng discreetly took out a stack of cash from his pocket, handing it to Wu Wenyue, "It's a total of five thousand, a thousand for each, neatly bundled."

The matter of distributing money had been discussed between the two when they descended the Great Wall, mainly because the base salary set initially for these college students was too low. During the internship period, the base salary was fifteen hundred; after turning regular, the total monthly take-home pay barely reached four to five thousand yuan, which is quite a lot for part-time college students. But with two of the five about to graduate next year and look for jobs, a salary of four thousand surely won't retain them.

However, drastically increasing salaries wasn't feasible. Wu Wenyue's account was still some time away from profitability, so increasing salaries now would make it difficult to reduce them later if the studio's leads to poor results.

So, Li Peifeng and Wu Wenyue planned to temporarily raise employee treatment by handing out bonuses. Later, when the studio's profitability stabilizes, it won't be too late to increase salaries.

And right now was a great opportunity to give out bonuses – their first outing, their first group meal, and after confirming the operation of Li Peifeng's account, there was an additional work task, thus money must be taken out to provide an incentive.

Moreover, due to the previous collaborative video, Li Peifeng earned a considerably larger manuscript fee, and the contributions of the studio's five members were significant. Especially Tang Yan, who, with a stroke of inspiration, decided to focus the camera on Li at the time. Without that, the videos wouldn't have had such a good effect.

"Is Tang Yan getting a thousand too?"

"I still have three thousand cash on me, you can privately give it to him later, encourage him to continue his efforts."

The two bosses whispered and finally, Wu Wenyue nodded slightly, clapped her hands twice to quiet everyone, said a few words of encouragement and praise, and then... distributed the money!

"Clap~"

"Thank you Sister Yue, thank you Brother Feng!"

"This month's living expenses are covered, haha."

"All I feel is gratitude!"

The employees were thrilled to see the cash, holding the money as the atmosphere grew livelier. Gu Jinyu's gaze toward Li Peifeng also started to change.

"Brother Feng."

"Hmm?"

"Actually, my roommate also wants to join our studio."

Gu Jinyu quietly spoke and then took out her phone, "Let me add you on WeChat; if there's any recruitment later, let me know."

"Alright."

Li Peifeng vaguely felt that this usually quiet girl might have a bit of a crush on him, but didn't think much of it.

After all, for a member of the 'appearance association', who could resist his looks? There are plenty of people who fancy him, one or two more makes no difference.

But Wu Wenyue was not quite pleased with him adding Gu Jinyu on WeChat. By five in the afternoon, after finishing their meal, everyone returned to the studio, while the two headed home. As they were alone in the elevator, she began her nagging...

"Are you turning the studio into your harem? Why were you grinning like a fool at Mu An'an? Mu An'an at the table didn't even dare look you straight in the eye, and now you've added Gu Jinyu on WeChat, what do you intend to do? Living apart didn't make you reflect; instead, it's causing you to further perpetuate these mistakes!"

"Alright, talk less and once we're inside, you can vent all you want on me, whether you bite or scratch, feel free."

Li Peifeng joked around, but his phone buzzed with a WeChat notification.

"Take it out and have a look." Wu Wenyue gave him a glance, "It better not be Gu Jinyu, otherwise..."

Yeah, it's best if it's not Xiaoyu contacting me, or else you might really find yourself eating fried squid!

You fear what you least want happening; sure enough, it was Gu Jinyu when Li Peifeng took a peek at his phone, although the content was not what they expected.

"Brother Feng, I think you're quite a good person, not as bad as people say out there, so there's something I want to tell you."

"What does she mean by this?"

Wu Wenyue was puzzled, and so was Li Peifeng, typing, "I'm reading, go ahead."

Gu Jinyu: "Lately, someone intends to harm you, be cautious, and never easily trust people."

Someone intending to harm me? Don't easily trust people?

What does this mean?

"What is this riddler talking about? Get her to clarify."

Even without Wu Wenyue's reminder, Li Peifeng was intrigued, continuing to type, "Could you elaborate more?"

"Ding~"

The elevator arrived, and the two entered the house. Li Peifeng just set down the bag of clothes when Gu Jinyu's reply finally came through...

"Have you heard of the 'Chasing Wind Scumbag Girl Group'?"
