Chapter 1583 Revenge
Wang Yan met Nan Xiang on the afternoon of the second day.

It's next to the flower bed beside the entrepreneurship center.

Seeing Wang Yan sitting on the bench with his legs crossed, smoking, Nan Xiang asked, "You're not really dating that Lin Quan, are you?"

"It's more than just getting along; we've been together from yesterday afternoon until this morning. We've really had a lot of heartfelt conversations." Wang Yan smiled and raised an eyebrow at her.

"So you're saying she was right next to you when I called you last night?"

"It's obvious."

"She didn't yell at me? She didn't yell at you?"

“She did scold me.” Wang Yan nodded with a smile. “But so what? I don’t have many other good points, but I’m a very honest person. I told her before that I wouldn’t get married and wouldn’t have only one girlfriend. Although she might have some possessiveness afterward, she calmed down and figured it out.”

"I don't understand it at all for her."

"What's there to not understand? It's just normal dating. Whether there's a future is hard to say, so it's best to seize the present. That's what she said, and she also said that we live in a different era and shouldn't hold onto old-fashioned ideas. I think there's some truth to what she said. But your lack of understanding is what I don't understand."

Wang Yan swung his legs casually, "What's wrong? Now that I've made it big, you, who always dreamed of being rich and successful, regret not getting to know me better before?"

"Don't flatter yourself. Gu Li said that valuation is valuation. You don't actually have that much money. Even if it's 500 million, it has nothing to do with you."

"That's just her comforting herself. If you look at the news later and search for 'Selected Life,' you'll know whether valuation is really useful or not. Now I'm a rising star in the industry, and I've had contact with most of the executives of the internet companies you can name."

In layman's terms, the high-end elite lifestyle you dream of is roughly equivalent to that of these executives. They are all industry celebrities, earning hundreds of millions or even millions annually, and also holding company stock options.

They wield considerable influence in emerging industries, maintain significant connections in traditional sectors, and have extensive networks within government agencies. They possess resources both domestically and internationally. At industry gatherings and high-end salons, they discuss collaborations worth tens or hundreds of millions of yuan.

To give you an example that you can understand, Gu Li's family is seen as unsophisticated and lowbrow by these people. Whether in terms of assets or industry advantages, they are far superior to Gu Li and Gu Yuan's family.

"Even if I've only had a meal with them, met them once, and exchanged a few words with them, I'll still brag to my friends about who I met and what I said, just to show off how sophisticated I am."

Nan Xiang crossed her arms: "Aren't you just bringing them up to show off your high-class status?"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, but what I'm doing now is making them use knowing me to show off their high status. Do you believe me?"

"I wish you success." Nan Xiang didn't say whether she believed it or not, but she did believe it to some extent.

Because Wang Yan's current state is the same as when he said he would be worth tens of millions within a few months and hundreds of millions within a year. And now he has already achieved that in less than three months…

Wang Yan stubbed out his cigarette and flicked it precisely into the nearby trash can: "What do you want?"

"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"

Seeing Wang Yan looking at her like she was an idiot, Nan Xiang asked back, "What's wrong?"

"I'm pretty busy. I'm not dating you. Why don't you call me if you don't have anything going on? That sounds pretty ambiguous. So, you're thinking of dumping that little piece of trash and jumping into my arms?"

Wang Yan stood up and cupped her face in his hands. "Then you should hurry. Because you don't have much value to begin with, and the longer you delay, the less valuable you'll become. Don't glare at me. Do you think it's the same if you followed me two months ago and you follow me now? What will it be like when I successfully complete my Series A funding round and the company is valued at hundreds of millions?"

Nan Xiang didn't speak, she just stared blankly at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan chuckled softly, pinched her cheek and played with it for a moment, then turned and went inside the building...

"No way, they're really together?" Tang Wanru said in a low voice, with a hint of excitement as she watched the drama unfold.

In the distance, behind a corner of the wall, Gu Li, Lin Xiao, and Tang Wanru were sneakily watching and even took pictures.

The four best friends had lunch together at noon. As usual, they would take a walk and have coffee together, but today Nanxiang skipped the group activity and left alone. Remembering Nanxiang's previous private meeting with Wang Yan, Tang Wanru suggested secretly following her, and Gu Li and Lin Xiao didn't object…

Lin Xiao hesitated and said, "It doesn't seem like it. Nan Xiang doesn't seem happy. I guess Wang Yan took advantage of her by touching her inappropriately."

“Nan Xiang is still willing, otherwise why doesn’t she knock off that groping hand of that mentally ill man?” Gu Li crossed her arms. “I think it’s just that Nan Xiang is short-sighted. She heard that Wang Yan is now worth 40 million, so she wants to get close to him.”

“I want to stick with him too,” Tang Wanru said. “Gu Li, I actually think Xi Cheng is really terrible. He was completely crushed by Wang Yan… Okay, okay, Nan Xiang was wrong. She didn’t consider the feelings between us sisters at all. If she gets together with Wang Yan, where does that leave us? She’s so disloyal.”

Gu Li glanced at her, crossed her arms without saying a word, raised her chin slightly, stared blankly into the distance for a moment, and then slowly left.

Lin Xiao groaned in annoyance, "I just don't understand, what's so great about Wang Yan? Why does Nan Xiang insist on getting involved with him? It's so annoying!"

Tang Wanru said, "Why don't we tell Xi Cheng about this? This time, Gu Yuan won't even need to spend money to incite him. That bastard Xi Cheng definitely won't let Wang Yan off the hook. We can just sit back and watch from the sidelines."

"Wow, you're something else. I never knew you had this kind of brain." Gu Li rarely praised Tang Wanru, so it seemed she agreed with the idea.

Lin Xiao hesitated and said, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Gu Li, Wanru, Nanxiang and Xicheng have always been on-again, off-again. If Xicheng finds out about these things, he'll definitely start a fight with Nanxiang first. Then Nanxiang will get beaten up by Xicheng, which would be terrible. Let's not get involved. Let Nanxiang do whatever she wants."

Tang Wanru also changed her tune: "Of course, we're all good sisters, how could I harm Nanxiang? I was just saying that. Right, Gu Li?"

Gu Li gave a vague "hmm" and turned to leave first: "Let's go, there's no more excitement to watch."

……

A few days later, at the entrance of the detention center.

Gu Yuan, whose head had been shaved, walked out step by step. When he saw Gu Li running over, he quickened his pace, and the two embraced tightly.

Overjoyed, Gu Yuan even hugged Gu Li and spun her around. "We're finally out, Gu Li. You know what? You're the one I missed most while I was in there."

"Isn't it natural for you to think about me? Who else would you think about?" Gu Li patted Gu Yuan, unable to help but complain, "You really are something, why were you so reckless? Of all the people you could go to, why did you have to go to that trash Xi Cheng? And what was the result? Without even a police interrogation, that lunatic Wang Yan got the information out of him. You're just incredibly stupid."

"Seriously? I just got out, and I suffered for three months inside. Instead of showing me any concern, you're starting to complain?" Gu Yuan said unhappily. "Besides, wasn't I doing all that for you?"

“I beg you, please don’t do this for me anymore. I’m telling you, this time you better behave yourself and don’t go looking for trouble with that mentally ill person. He’s a lunatic who always acts like he has nothing to lose and is capable of anything. You’re just throwing your cake and eating it too. It’s not worth it at all.”

Gu Yuan nodded: "Can you stop acting like a mother hen? I'm not stupid."

"Ha, if you were really smart, would we be talking here?" Gu Li said mercilessly.

Gu Yuan didn't argue anymore; he knew there was no way to explain it to Gu Li.

He looked around and frowned. "Where's my mom? Why didn't she come?"

"She's not a big boss, just a wealthy lady, she's incredibly busy every day. Anyway, you're already out, it's not a big deal, whether you come or not won't make a difference."

Gu Li pulled Gu Yuan's arm, "Let's go, let's go get something good to eat, to welcome you back and wash away the bad luck."

The two exchanged shameless words, got into the car, and drove into the city...

On the second day, Gu Yuan finally returned home.

"So you still know how to come back?" Ye Chuanping looked at her beloved son with a sigh.

"I was locked up for three months and when I got out, you didn't even come to pick me up. You're supposed to be my mother, how can you be so heartless?" Gu Yuan complained as she threw herself onto the sofa.

Only then did he take a good look at Ye Chuanping, only to find that his mother looked extremely haggard.

He couldn't help but ask, "What happened, Mom?"

"The company has run into some problems, but it has nothing to do with you. Just stop causing me trouble and give me some peace of mind. And that Gu Li, you two should break up as soon as possible. This whole mess of yours is entirely because of her. Although she went to see that bastard, she certainly didn't put in much effort. You didn't have to carry this stain on your record, but you ended up being locked up for three months!"

"Mom! It was all my own choice, Gu Li knew nothing about it. I just don't understand why you have such a strong prejudice against Gu Li. She's so wonderful, beautiful, smart, and a perfect match for our family..."

"You're so clueless. I'm afraid she'll sell you out and you'll still be counting the money for her."

Unwilling to argue with his mother, Gu Yuan changed the subject: "Mom, what happened at the company?"

"said……"

"Mom, I'm already in my twenties, and I'll be graduating in a year and a half. I need to know about the family business, right? Even if you tell me, I won't understand. How can I understand if you don't tell me?"

Ye Chuanping glanced at Gu Yuan, rubbed her temples wearily, and sighed, saying, "Actually, it's nothing serious. It's just that our family has some tax issues. We need to pay back taxes and fines, which will cost us over 30 million yuan in cash. Our business partners heard about this and have been urging us to settle the payment, which has affected all of our business."

"Isn't it just this 30 million yuan in cash that's affecting our cash flow? We can just mortgage it and borrow another 30 million. Our company is a listed company, after all; 20 million won't have much of an impact, right?"

"Yes, I've already borrowed money. But the impact on our company's business has already happened. The news has spread, the stock price has fallen, and some people are trying to take advantage of us. A series of consequences have left me overwhelmed. It's no longer just a matter of 30 million. Otherwise, do you think I wouldn't go to pick you up after you got out of prison? I only started dealing with company matters because I knew Gu Li would definitely come."

Ye Chuanping sighed, "I've been too tired lately, so I came back to rest. If you had come any later, we probably wouldn't have seen each other for several days."

"Mom, you need to rest every now and then. You can never earn all the money in the world."

"You can never earn all the money in the world, but you can lose it all! Doing business is not that simple."

Ye Chuanping thought for a moment, then said, "Don't go looking for trouble with that brat surnamed Wang. I suspect he's the one behind this. Apart from him, our family hasn't offended anyone recently. But I can't think of any way a poor student like him could have done this. In short, stay away from him."

"Mom, he sent me to jail for three months. We can't just let it go like this, can we? Besides, he sabotaged us behind our backs and made our family pay compensation. We can't let him get away with this!"

"You won't let him go? What can you do?"

"We just can't let him get away with this! My friend knows some real thugs, I'm going to..."

"Gu Yuan!" Ye Chuanping interrupted her son. "Don't you even use your brain? That Wang Yan can take on more than ten people by himself. Even if he can't beat those thugs you're talking about, can't he just run away? Even if he can't run away, do you still want to kill him? After we're done here, won't they call the police later? Then you'll have to go to jail, won't you? Haven't you had enough of staying here yet?"

"Then what do you suggest we do? He made me suffer so much, I can't sleep if I don't get revenge!"

Ye Chuanping was furious at her son's stupidity, but she had no choice but to find a solution. Knowing her precious son as she did, if she didn't respond, he might do something truly reckless, potentially landing her a prison sentence of several years.

She knew Wang Yan was a truly outspoken and decisive person. She genuinely felt that everything that happened at the company today was Wang Yan's doing, which made her somewhat regretful. After all, the losses he had caused her were no longer as simple as her beloved son serving three months in prison…

After thinking for a while, Ye Chuanping said, "That little bastard surnamed Wang is doing quite well in his business, raising five million right away. If you want revenge, then it proves you're better than him, that you can do better. I'll give you two million; go and copy his approach and see if you can make it work."

If you fail, you can't blame anyone. Two million will go down the drain, but you'll have learned a lesson and faced reality. If you succeed, then I can finally enjoy my retirement without worry, and I won't say another word about you and Gu Li."

"Really?"

"I'll have someone transfer the money to your account in a bit."

Ye Chuanping cried out and stood up. Looking at her son, her eyes held a lingering hope despite knowing he was useless…
