Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 61 一 Gu Fuchen is Ruan Yōu’s older brother!!

In the live broadcast room, before the person everyone thought was “Ruan Chenchen” appeared on the screen, there were many barrage comments filling up about half of the screen, all saying things like [The dining room is so big and beautiful] and [Gu family’s mansion is so impressive].

The moment “Ruan Chenchen” appeared, the screen of the live broadcast room was filled with [?] and [!] and [Ruan You and Ruan Chenchen are also at Gu family’s mansion!]

Until Wei Wen, who walked out from the main kitchen, uttered a sacred and solemn sentence, “Good morning, Young Master Gu.”

Gu? Young Master!

According to netizens, this person’s last name is Ruan, not Gu1.

“Ruan Chenchen” who was looking down at his phone, naturally nodded upon hearing the voice.

The overly natural movement was like a thunderbolt, hitting the netizens’ heads with a boom, leaving their minds in shock and only expressing sounds like [Ah, ah, ah] and [Wow, wow, wow].

[He is Gu Fuchen! Ahhh!]

[Ruan Chenchen, you’ve deceived us so painfully TAT]

[To actually fool us, (pointing our fingers).gif]

At first, those who knew Ruan Chenchen treated him as a “cute older brother” and were the first to realize it. They “rebuked” Ruan Chenchen “viciously” in the barrage comments.

There are many finance professionals who watch this variety show. Many people who are involved in or interested in finance and business circles will watch this show. They not only have a curiosity to see how executives from various companies perform in the show, but also want to learn some knowledge from their lives.

It’s a win-win situation to learn while being entertained.

Therefore, after the first season of “Heirs” aired, it swept through the entire business circle.

The second season just started broadcasting, and there are many business professionals flooding into the live stream. Among them, there is a large group of fans who are fans of Gu Fuchen.

It’s not that Gu Fuchen’s fans have nothing better to do and love watching this variety show. It’s just that among the six major wealthy family heirs in the country, Gu Fuchen’s performance is truly outstanding.

If the business circle is ranked according to the rankings in the entertainment industry, Gu Fuchen is undoubtedly the top-level figure, like a king among kings. His fan base is large, treating Gu Fuchen as an idol-like figure and learning his business theories, gradually getting closer to him.

In addition, Wei Wen just revealed that the guest on Channel 1 is Fatty Cat, who is Gu Fuchen’s sister. With the hope of “having a chance to meet a business legend,” Gu Fuchen’s fans flocked to the show.

At this moment, one-third of the people in the live stream are here to see the business legend Gu Fuchen.

Seeing this scene in the live stream, their minds went blank, and their rationality stopped functioning. The entire audience was stunned.

How is this possible?

Ruan Chenchen, the idiot, how could he be their business legend? The low-profile, calm, and profound high-level executive who dominates in business battles, the noble and aloof Gu Fuchen?

No way!

What is this “even in despair, there’s a hint of amusement” situation? What’s going on?

Even business legends browse popular topics, acting childish by participating in the first check-in competition. Moreover, he praised… He even praised Ruan Chenchen in an interview!

They originally thought that Gu Fuchen and Ruan Chenchen had a mutual affection, both of them going the extra mile, exchanging experiences on pampering younger sisters every day. But it turns out it was all Gu Fuchen/Ruan Chenchen’s self-directed performance.

He’s praising himself.

What a shameless overlord.

Although there’s a kind of helplessness reminiscent of a “collapsing house2” in the entertainment circle, they can’t help but laugh to death after the helplessness.

After all the fans recovered their senses, they quickly took over the barrage in the live chat room. At first, the onlookers were surprised and frozen in front of the screen, not typing any comments. They watched as a group of business enthusiasts shouted on various platforms like the live chat room and Weibo, reclaiming the battlefield of astonishment and laughter.

They’ll continue enjoying the show behind the screen.

[I don’t believe it. My idol would never do everything that Ruan Chenchen had done (but he did!)]

[From now on, everyone will know that the business legend Gu Fuchen is actually a crazier version of a sister complex]

[I really want to interview Bozhan’s employees or people who have worked with Gu Fuchen. After seeing Ruan Chenchen’s actions online, would they be able to keep a straight face and not burst into laughter when meeting Gu Fuchen?]

[Hahaha, what sin did Gu Fuchen committed! He’s just a little siscon, but he still has some self-respect! Just a moment ago, he was secretly happy that the variety show team didn’t come, and then he looked up and…. Hahaha.]

The entire staff of Bozhan laughed until they thought they would die.

Finally! Finally, the day has come when the boss gets exposed.

They no longer have to secretly share gossip in the group. They can openly share everything they know about Gu Fuchen on Weibo.

—Congratulations, my dear family!3

At the same time, #Gu_Fuchen_Is_Ruan_Chenchen#” exploded as hot search, firmly occupying the top spot, becoming a national discussion. From time to time, they even see foreign friends discussing in different languages.

The whole internet declares that today is the day to let Gu Fuchen be socially humiliated. The would make him stay firmly in the top of the hot search!

Gu Fuchen’s assistant team and Bozhan’s public relations department saw all of this.

The public relations department should have published some articles or Weibo posts to salvage Gu Fuchen’s “face,” but no one wanted to. Under the leadership of the deputy general manager, all the Bozhan employees opened the live streaming room and enjoyed the show together.

The same goes for the subsidiary groups located in different parts of the country.

No one wants to post on Weibo to defend Gu Fuchen’s dignity.

Even Gu Youqian and Ruan Liuyu, the last people Gu Fuchen could rely on, chose to sit in front of the LCD screen, smiling and watching Channel 1’s live stream with the Father and Mother Lu, Mother Fu, and Mother Qi.

After all, this prosperous era is what the netizens nationwide wished for.

The number of people in the live stream room soared.

Fortunately, in the week before the start of the live stream, the director and producer speculated that several top heirs would appear, and the traffic would inevitably reach its peak, prompting the live streaming app to upgrade its servers quickly.

Now, the number of people in Channel 1’s live broadcast room has risen to tens of millions, and many more are still pouring in within a short period of time.

Cheng Guyuan’s fans didn’t say anything, and his management team remained quiet as chicks.

There are also some casual fans of Cheng Guyuan who hurriedly ran into Channel 1’s live broadcast room. There’s nothing to be done; idols are valuable, but Gu Fuchen’s value is even higher.

In front of Gu Fuchen, Cheng Guyuan can at most be considered a young second-generation rich person, not even deserving the title of a prominent family.

With such an outstanding legendary figure present, who would still want to watch Cheng Guyuan?

In the live broadcast room, everyone is excitedly waiting for Gu Fuchen’s next move.

[Let me see what Gu Fuchen will do to save his dignity!]

[Ah, even though he hasn’t done anything, I’m already excited. What should I do?]

[Gu Fuchen looks so handsome, wuwuwu]

[Hurry, hurry, I wish I could fast forward the live broadcast. Let me travel to the future quickly and see what Gu Fuchen will do!

In the second floor’s dining room.

Gu Fuchen has never felt so desperate.

But unfortunately, he can’t show it.

The entire nation is watching, and it’s easy to imagine how much laughter there is in the live stream right now.

Gu Fuchen remains tense the whole time, sitting stiffly on the dining chair with his hands folded on the table. His eyes are fixed on the empty chair across from him, hoping that Ruan You will appear soon and break this awkward moment.

Luckily, his wish comes true.

His younger sister doesn’t show up, but a phone call from Song Wen saves him.

The variety show was recorded during the week before the Spring Festival. Prior to appearing on the show, Gu Fuchen had already discussed his plans for the upcoming days with Song Wen. Except for urgent work matters, Song Wen wouldn’t disturb him.

Bozhan indeed encountered a crisis today.

Half a month ago, he was discussing cooperation with a company from Country Y, and the cooperation was progressing very smoothly. However, today, the other party suddenly became firm in their attitude.

They were not satisfied with the current profit sharing and wanted to increase it a bit.

The main reason is that during the cooperation process, a company from Country M intervened, and the two companies were competing for a project collaboration. The decision-making power was in the hands of the other party, naturally making their attitude more arrogant.

But the key point is that their contract was already signed the day before yesterday.

Song Wen reported everything in detail over the phone, and Gu Fuchen listened attentively.

The unease, embarrassment, and shyness from a few minutes ago gradually disappeared. Gu Fuchen listened very seriously. When he heard that the other party had changed their mind halfway through, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his jawline tightened, and his expression became serious.

He couldn’t directly state the solution in the live broadcast room.

“I will send you the countermeasures on WeChat,” Gu Fuchen’s voice was deep. His every move exuded a faint self-confidence and calmness, along with an invisible pride, as if nothing could trouble him.

“Understood, President Gu.”

[Ah, ah, ah, at this moment, I am convinced that he is still Gu Fu Chen!]

[Wow, he has such charisma and personality.]

[Can the current CEO dramas learn from Gu Fuchen’s demeanor? He’s adorable in private, but when he’s working, his charisma is exceptional. Whatever he says, it just makes people feel at ease.]

[Wuwuwu, he truly is my idol]

[I’m so happy that I can watch him work.]

[Hehehe, while the CEO is working, I’m just lazing around. Bliss~!]

…

Gu Fu Chen lowered his head and typed, his brows showing a hint of seriousness.

Netizens who were watching realized that it might be a tricky situation, and they started advising the production team to quickly let the overlord off the set to work.

PD Xiao Yu from Channel 1 realized this and asked softly, “President Gu, do you need to leave the live stream room to work?”

Gu Fu Chen was immersed in his serious work, without much thought and without considering it as a perfect opportunity to avoid being on camera. He replied in a calm tone, “No need.”

And he continued to type with his head down.

Netizens were particularly curious about what could make him so serious.

Five minutes later, the official Weibo account of Bozhan posted a push notification on a foreign social media platform.

Translated into Chinese4 is :

“You have behaved very badly. If you want to peacefully terminate the contract, you are welcome to do so anytime.”

Implicitly, it means:

It’s not Bozhan begging you; it’s you begging Bozhan.

Bozhan can find partners all over the world, not just your company. So don’t think too highly of yourselves.

Using coercion tactics against Bozhan won’t work.

You should be aware of this.

Someone reposted the push notification from the international platform, and netizens collectively exclaimed.

[It’s him, it’s him! So handsome]

[Hahaha, there is a company wants to coerce Bozhan? How dare they]

…

At the same time, Gu Fuchen’s typing speed slowed down.

Just now, he sent the follow-up impact of this matter, possible events, and corresponding measures to Song Wen, and Song Wen agreed to each of them.

Now that the work matters are finished, Gu Fuchen’s tense nerves relax, and suddenly he thinks of something very important.

He asks Song Wen secretly:

G : [How is the public opinion about me on the internet now? Are there many people mocking me?]

Then he recalls the question from the directing team earlier about whether he wanted to go out for work. When he thinks about his refusal, Gu Fuchen deeply regrets it.

Song Wen has been busy with official duties and hasn’t had a chance to look at online public opinion.

Reading this, he sighs deeply.

President Gu is truly—

One moment he’s an overlord, and the next moment he’s like a fool.

The states of Gu Fuchen and Ruan Chenchen switch depending on their work status.

Song Wen replied honestly : [President Gu, I’m busy handling official matters and don’t have time to observe. Why don’t you take a look yourself?]

Gu Fuchen tightly pursed his lips.

He did want to see it himself, but he didn’t have the courage to face it directly!

Gu Fuchen dared not look at the online reviews with his own eyes. He turned off his phone and stared blankly at the awkward scene that would follow.

Very well.

Here comes the awkwardness again.

He was wearing a black coat with a dark gray suit underneath, the collar neatly tied with a tie, looking very formal, the epitome of an overlord’s attire.

Gu Fuchen folded his hands and immersed himself in the silence of a moment ago.

The dining room was eerily quiet. Gu Fuchen remained silent, and the variety show team standing beside him also maintained absolute silence.

Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Fuchen raised his gaze to secretly assess their current state, wondering if they were trying to mock him.

As he looked up, he unexpectedly met Xiao Yu’s eyes.

Gu Fuchen quickly averted his gaze.

Three seconds later, he sneakily took another glance.

Result—

His eyes met with a group of staff members.

Gu Fuchen : …

Anxious yet seemingly calm, he immediately averted his gaze.

[So adorable, so adorable, so adorable]

[Take a glance, sneak another glance, and yet another]

[Confirming through the eyes, serious Gu Fuchen at work, cute and silly Ruan Chenchen off work]

[Aww, this is the first time I’m seeing overlord in real life. It feels so genuine. Serious at work, happy in life]

[Let me tell a joke. He’s not afraid of business battles or foreign companies, only afraid of cameras and netizens]

[Hahaha, does this mean we’ve firmly grasped the overlord?]

…

Feeling uneasy, Xiao Yu mustered up the courage to break the silence in the restaurant: “President Gu, would you like to introduce yourself?”

Gu Fuchen firmly and quickly responded, “No.”

[Hahaha, they’re giving him a way out, but he’s not taking it.]

[Hahaha, he’s like an anxious elementary school student, waiting quietly for the teacher.]

…

Gu Fuchen didn’t want to speak. He preferred to endure the silence at this moment and wait quietly for his sister to come.

No problem, his sister has experienced many ups and downs in the entertainment industry. She will surely know how to salvage the awkward situation now!

Wei Wen also realized this and respectfully said, “Young Master Gu, I’ll go upstairs to see if Miss has woken up.”

Gu Fuchen pretended to remain calm and nodded.

With Wei Wen’s words, the netizens who had been in a state of shock since the start of the livestream finally remembered another important detail.

If Gu Fuchen is Ruan Chenchen, then Fatty Cat, whom the butler referred to as ‘Miss,’ must be Ruan You??

[Oh no, my shocked brain hasn’t even recovered yet, and now I have to endure another blow?]

[Gu Fuchen’s elder brother is Ruan You? Ah, my mistake, Ruan You is Gu Fuchen’s elder brother? Ahh, d*mn, I can’t type correctly.]

[Let me help you. Let’s say it loudly: Gu Fuchen is Ruan You’s elder brother!]

[Ah! (Screaming) (Roaring) (Twisting) Ruan You is Fatty Cat]

[If it’s Ruan You, I understand why Gu Fuchen is a siscon. Ruan You deserves it.]

[The sibling relationship between Gu Fuchen and Ruan You is so lovely. Ruan You mentioned in the Super Topics group that she is doing well now, and it’s all true!]

[Everyone, stand up and get ready to welcome powerful woman Ruan “Fatty Cat” You]

When Wei Wen walked out, Ruan You had already finished washing up and arrived in the second floor dining room.

Just the thought of her brother shining brightly on the entire internet, with everyone knowing his face, filled Ruan You’s heart with a peculiar happiness.

Her brother, forever shining!

At the same time, Ruan You couldn’t help but feel a little joy for the “embarrassment storm” her brother would soon face.

Hahaha, Brother is going to become a joke across the entire internet!

Ruan You had her hands in her coat, walking lightly with a spring in her steps, indicating a sense of happiness.

Soon, she’ll be able to see Brother’s joke~

But when does the variety show start?

Ruan You patted her pocket and realized she forgot to bring her phone.

At this time, Wei Wen should be in the dining room. Ruan Yo eagerly and joyfully walked towards the restaurant. When he was about two or three meters away, the door opened by itself.

Wei Wen walked towards her.

Ruan You continued her light and bouncy movements, with a smile in her eyes, wanting to ask Wei Wen when the variety show team would arrive. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a row of cameras facing the restaurant door. Ruan You swiftly transitioned from a cute and joyful hopping mode, resembling a little bunny, to a normal walking mode.

Ruan You walked solemnly and gracefully to the table, sitting in front of Gu Fuchen while maintaining a smiling expression without showing any emotions in his eyes. He signaled with his gaze to Gu Fuchen.

—Brother, I’m feeling so desperate right now.

—Sister, I have already been feeling desperate until now.
