After Transmigrating as the Northeast CEO's Pampered Little Husband - Chapter 29

When Gu Jiaoyang woke up in the morning, Dai Gucan had already left for work. Since they had just officially started their relationship, he would likely be sleeping in Mr Dai’s bedroom from now on. He hadn’t expected Mr Dai to be so quiet when getting up; he hadn’t been woken until now.

The midsummer sunlight was like thin, translucent silver. As it spilled through the window, it had a dazzling quality. Gu Jiaoyang drew back the curtains and stood on the balcony looking down; the vast greenery, accompanied by the chirping of little sparrows, was full of life.

“Good morning, Grandpa Sun!” Gu Jiaoyang cupped his hands around his mouth like a megaphone, squinted, and shouted at the sun. A continuous stream of solar qi, like warm flowing water, washed over his body and then condensed in his dantian, becoming the most primal motive force.

Time to eat, time to eat…

Breakfast was usually quite light. Perhaps because they were now dating, Mr Dai had instructed the kitchen auntie to use a mould to fry the eggs. Consequently, there was now a heart-shaped fried egg on Gu Jiaoyang’s breakfast plate.

Eating the fried egg, Gu Jiaoyang couldn’t help but imagine Mr Dai standing at the kitchen door, slightly blushing as he instructed the auntie to make a heart-shaped egg.

Oh my, how could Mr Dai be so cute?

“Boss, this is the progress report you wanted. The He Corporation hasn’t discovered the demolition plans for the W City commercial district; they are still proceeding with construction.” Secretary Zhou placed the file on the desk and pushed up his glasses as he spoke.

“Very good. Continue to release news that we are fundraising, sell off 2% of the subsidiary’s shares, and tell Team 3 to prepare. Our real negotiations are about to begin.”

Dai Gucan flipped through the report, made a few minor changes, and handed it back to the secretary.

“Tell them to keep an eye on the fax machine. The data from that side should arrive in about half an hour. Ensure everyone gets a copy. Everyone must write down at least one opinion or suggestion before sending it to planning.”

“Yes, sir.”

Just as He Shengxuan had said when they met at the shopping centre, the He Corporation had indeed snatched a project from the Dai Group. However, it was actually a massive pitfall. Without the correct information sources, the He Corporation was destined to pour all the money invested in that project down the drain.

After all, the Dai Group’s parent company was a pharmaceutical firm; holding policy information from government shareholders, they could hardly be blamed for cheating.

“Brat, I was running rampant in No. 1 Middle School before you were even born.” Dai Gucan blew on the hot steam rising from his teacup, the look in his eyes behind his plain glasses as fierce as a roaring Siberian tiger.

Ding-ding~

The mobile phone on the desk vibrated. Dai Gucan unlocked it, and a message popped up.

Good morning, Mr Dai! I ate your heart all up!

The attached photo showed a blue-rimmed plate that had been licked clean by his little boyfriend, with a small, milky-white hand making a heart shape in the top right corner.

Sending my heart to you too. Work hard today! Chu.

“He just knows how to act coquettishly.”

Although Mr Dai said this with his mouth, his thumb uncontrollably long-pressed the screen to save the image. Then, he backed out to the transfer interface and sent five transfers in one breath.

On the other side, Gu Jiaoyang had returned to his room and was sitting in his chair adjusting the angle for his mobile livestream when his fingers went numb from the vibration of a string of message notifications.

Mn.

A clean and crisp monosyllable. At first glance, it was as cool and aloof as Mr Dai himself provided, of course, you ignored the speed of Mr Dai’s instant reply and the rapidity of the money transfers.

Received! I like Mr Dai the most! Mwah.

Mn. Don’t reply anymore; I have a meeting.

Gu Jiaoyang held his phone, unable to suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth.

Truly an instant reply. Tsk tsk, men.

Dai Gucan looked at his phone for a moment longer. Confirming that his little boyfriend hadn’t replied again, he put the lid on his teacup and went to his meeting.

Secretary Zhou, following behind his boss, couldn’t help but take a few quiet steps forward to steal a glance at his boss’s expression. For some reason, he had a feeling that his boss was in a very good mood today.

Once the meeting began, the employees who had been extremely cautious, terrified of angering the boss discovered that no matter what they said, their usually stony-faced boss responded with: “Mn,” “Not bad,” “Acceptable,” or “Sit down.” The feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze suddenly felt tangible.

Boo hoo hoo, which immortal has finally started blessing us?! Please give us such a “cute” boss every day!!!

Because the notifications from the Orange Blossom App were annoying, Gu Jiaoyang had turned off its permissions. When he fixed his phone in place and opened Orange Blossom, he discovered his messages had exploded.

…Oh dear.

Surely he wasn’t being flamed again?

Gu Jiaoyang opened his messages, but unexpectedly, due to the sheer volume of private messages, the entire phone screen froze as soon as he clicked the button. The app became unresponsive. He had no choice but to force-quit and restart. He went into the app settings to disable private messages, but after thinking about it, that didn’t seem quite right. So, he changed all settings to “Only followers can XXX”, then switched back, popped the red notification dot, and simply ignored the private messages.

Since he hadn’t gone out to buy snacks today, Gu Jiaoyang had originally intended to livestream eating the small desserts and fried calamari rings made by the kitchen auntie. But given the current situation…

Gu Jiaoyang opened the homepage and found it was indeed packed with comments. Since only the most-liked comments appeared separately, Gu Jiaoyang saw a pinned comment with over 110,000 likes.

Get out of Orange Blossom!

…

Fair enough.

Gu Jiaoyang picked up a calamari ring, dipped it in some ketchup, and started eating. He casually scrolled through the comment section, found the link to the thread that was the culprit, and went in to investigate.

Fortunately, this account was bound to the mobile phone and couldn’t be logged into from a different location. Otherwise, with this level of attention, that damned Virus System would have farmed an unknown amount of energy.

However, he estimated that Xi Chuanbai didn’t know that as soon as he took over this account, it would be this miserable.

Since the information posted in the thread was all fabricated, Gu Jiaoyang felt zero sense of personal identification with it. He skimmed through the beginning and end, then ignored the thread. Instead, he retreated to the backend to check his earnings.

They had definitely increased a lot. This wave of hate had pushed his video clicks to a very high tier. The revenue calculated based on views was skyrocketing quietly in the backend, reaching an amount that would make an ordinary person’s jaw drop.

“Tsk, not bad.” Gu Jiaoyang swallowed the calamari ring. Faced with this overwhelming negativity, what came to his mind instead was the tomato and cucumber plants he had chosen in Mr Dai’s garden.

If those two plants could really be transformed into spiritual plants after he infused them with qi, he would talk to Mr Dai about opening a vegetable market or something later. He could sell the ones he couldn’t finish, or the ones that grew poorly with low spiritual energy, to others. That would be another substantial income stream.

One had to know that the effects of spiritual plants on ordinary people were significant. Although they didn’t have the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and transforming the bones, they were more than enough to regulate the body’s endocrine system and improve sub-health conditions.

So, open an online shop? Or a physical store?

If he really wanted to sell them, he’d have to find people who understood their value. Logistics shouldn’t be ordinary either; after all, spiritual plants would attract all sorts of beings. For an ordinary courier, carrying such a treasure could be a dangerous liability.

A physical store wasn’t ideal either. He’d have to hire staff, and due to the special nature of the goods, it would likely attract various problems.

“Sigh, doing business is so hard…”

Thinking only about how to sell spiritual plants in the future, Gu Jiaoyang temporarily put the livestream out of his mind. It wasn’t until he finished the ketchup in the small saucer and turned to squeeze more that he suddenly remembered he still had the unresolved matter of the livestream.

Should he do a face reveal?

Crunch, crunch, Gu Jiaoyang ate the calamari rings. In the end, he decided to show his face to boost the heat. He’d secure the money first and worry about the rest later!

I’m so tired from scolding. Comrades, can we rest for a bit?

Rest for what? I’ve been following the drama since last night, haven’t slept at all lololol

Same, haven’t slept. Camping for a reply from Gu Yangyang Doge.

Camping too. Is this scumbag too scared to come out?
