Chapter 1594 Convincing Myself

"God back."

Wang Yan reached out and lifted Lin Xiao's chin, closing her open mouth.

Lin Xiao slapped Wang Yan's hand away, her childish voice filled with anger: "Wang Yan! You're such a bad person!"

"What does this have to do with me?" Wang Yan spread his hands innocently. "You might not believe it, but I have to tell you, I've known about Gu Li's family problems for a long time, I just haven't taken any action. This time, Gu Yuan's family is in dire straits, and Gu Li says that their relationship is unbreakable and that she doesn't care about money. I had a sudden inspiration and thought of letting Gu Yuan make this choice. So the one who's in trouble isn't me, it's Gu Yuan, understand?"

"Then why don't you give it to Gu Yuan..."

"Whether I give it to you or not is none of your business. It's Gu Yuanju who didn't report it. It's like a gun. Some people use it to commit crimes, while others use it to defend their country. If I give you the gun, can you blame me for your crimes? Isn't that what you wanted to do? It's not like I told you to. On the contrary, you should thank me because if I didn't give you the gun, you wouldn't be able to commit a crime even if you wanted to."

"That's just making excuses. You're so smart, you must have known that Gu Yuan would definitely report it."

"You overestimate me. No matter how smart I am, I can't understand what people are thinking. Just like the shameless things you've said to me, do you really not know right from wrong, or are you just simply siding with Gu Li and racking your brains to find reasonable reasons to prove that she's not wrong, or to prove that she didn't do anything seriously wrong?"

They'd rack their brains trying to find flaws in my seemingly normal, legally compliant retaliation, to prove I'm a ruthless villain. But what's the reality? "Lin Xiao, how about I beat you up right now? Don't call the police, don't hold a grudge, okay?"

"You...you...you..." Lin Xiao pointed at his hand and said in a trembling voice, "You're just making excuses!"

Wang Yan chuckled and grabbed her hand, gently stroking it, directly engaging in lewd behavior.

"Look at you, what are you afraid of? You're so pretty, and you have some sense of right and wrong. At least you're racking your brains to find reasons, instead of just blaming me for everything without giving any reasons at all. That's good enough."

"Hey, stop being a pervert!" Lin Xiao pulled her hand away and playfully punched Wang Yan with her little fists.

"Are you flirting with me?" Wang Yan raised an eyebrow suggestively, and then started playfully sparring with her, throwing a bunch of wild punches in defense.

So Lin Xiao behaved himself, put his hand down, and sat there blankly.

"Gu Li must be so heartbroken..."

Wang Yan asked, "Do you think she's more heartbroken about not having money, or more heartbroken about Gu Yuan betraying her?"

"They must all be badly injured, right? Wang Yan, you're so vicious."

Wang Yan did not try to explain his malice anymore, since he knew that even if he did, he couldn't change Lin Xiao's mind.

He simply smiled and said, "No, there must be someone who hurt her even more."

"It's all about sadness, so what's the point of trying to pinpoint the most heartbreaking part?" Lin Xiao returned Wang Yan's words to him.

Wang Yan gently shook his head: "It's still very meaningful. Given Gu Li's character, being penniless is almost like taking her life. Relatively speaking, Gu Yuan's betrayal won't hurt Gu Li too much, although she will still be somewhat disappointed."

"Nonsense, Gu Li loves Gu Yuan so much..."

"Forget it." Wang Yan waved his hand gently. "Nan Xiang told me that when Gu Li and Gu Yuan argue, it's usually Gu Yuan who apologizes first and begs for Gu Li's forgiveness. The two of them put in different amounts of effort in the relationship, and the sincerity they show is also different. To be honest, I think Gu Yuan is the one who is suffering the most right now. It's a kind of morbid love, and I think you probably won't understand."

"You're talking nonsense. He reported Gu Li's family, causing Gu Li's father to go to jail for more than ten years. What pain did he suffer? You talk as if you know so much."

"Don't resist what I'm saying. Just think carefully about how Gu Li has treated Gu Yuan over the years."

"I don't want to!"

Lin Xiao's childish voice cracked with anger again, and she left in a huff. As she walked, she took out her phone and called Gu Li to warn her.

Wang Yan turned to look behind the tree on the other side, and a figure swiftly withdrew its head.

He smiled slightly, then strolled back into the building to get to work.

While others went bankrupt and were arrested, he was riding high. He had successfully secured a Series A funding round, offering 20% ​​of the shares and raising $50 million. The company's valuation was approaching $2 billion, as if it were taking off on a rocket.

Thanks to the reasons mentioned earlier, Zhenxuan Life has the skills and methods to make money. As long as there is sufficient funding, the company can naturally be built up. Therefore, even though it has only been a startup for a little over six months, with its proven user base and the website's resilience, a high valuation is normal; it would be abnormal if it weren't.

With this injection of funds, Select Life is now fully demonstrating its intention and ability to expand.

The company began sending out a large number of people to connect with relevant companies in various product categories, and shipped directly from the source as mentioned above, eliminating the need for middlemen to make a profit.

At the same time, it began to improve and expand its local delivery business, and built its own delivery team. It started to get involved in food delivery and other local delivery businesses, joining the food delivery war.

Although Zhenxuan Life's actions angered some of its partner companies, there wasn't a major conflict, and their cooperation wasn't severed. Since Zhenxuan Life didn't offer subsidies to users, users naturally continued to buy things at lower prices, thus increasing their order volume.

Wang Yan primarily focused on building his team and handling other delivery services, such as medicine, supermarket group-buying items, digital products, and same-city delivery via express delivery, rather than emphasizing the largest volume of business: food delivery. This avoided conflict, minimized disruption to his core business, and allowed him to cultivate his own delivery force while retaining the ability to operate food delivery services in major regions and cities.

The main reason is that Wang Yan doesn't want to pour all his money into subsidies and hinder the development of other businesses. Relatively speaking, his scale is still far smaller, and he can't compete with others in terms of spending money.

The ultimate secret to winning a price war is either to drive the price down to the absolute bottom, or not to lower it at all. After all, only the lowest price is the most attractive. If you can't achieve the lowest price, then the money you spend is wasted.

So the selection process is still quite busy.

The company is about to embark on another rapid expansion. Wang Yan has even found an office building off-campus and started recruiting from the public. Otherwise, relying solely on the current student part-time jobs, there is already a shortage of human resources.

Wang Yan was naturally even busier...

Of course, no matter how busy Wang Yan is, he will never forget to take care of women.

Nan Xiang lay in Wang Yan's arms and chuckled softly, "You're so naughty! But I like it. Now Gu Li and Gu Yuan are both poor people they used to look down on. Gu Yuan even reported Gu Li's family, causing Gu Li's father to be arrested. You've dealt them both a blow. I bet Gu Yuan who reported them is feeling pretty bad too."

"Lin Xiao came to see me today..." Wang Yan recounted his conversation with Lin Xiao, "So I'm not a bad person, I'm a good person, I'm helping them test their relationship." "What if Gu Yuan doesn't report it? What will you do then?"

Wang Yan shook his head: "Of course I won't let Gu Li's father off the hook either. Do you know how much money he embezzled? Four hundred million!"

Nan Xiang's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Gu Li's father is too ruthless."

"If someone commits a crime, it's fine if you don't know about it, but if you do know, you'll definitely report it, since everyone dislikes them."

"Actually, it's a bit of a lose-lose situation."

"Your awareness is too low. It may not benefit me personally, but it benefits the country and the people. The money goes into the national treasury and is then used for public expenditures. This is a great thing. Besides, if others harm me but I don't, then I'm making a profit."

Nan Xiang was speechless and choked with emotion: "You think you're so enlightened? You're worth a billion now, how much money do you actually have?"

“When I put my shares out for sale, everyone rushes to buy them. They’re too short-sighted.”

"You know I'm terrified of being poor. Only money that I actually hold in my hands is truly mine."

"Are you afraid of being poor? I seem to be poorer than you, right?" Wang Yan said with a smile. "To be honest, I do have some money, after all, I have a salary. I've received so much money this time, I have to keep some of it."

So how much money do you have right now?

"If I don't tell you, I'm afraid you'll be eyeing my money and won't be able to have a spiritual connection with me anymore. But it's still a happy occasion, so here's ten thousand for you to spend."

"Alright, ten thousand is ten thousand, at least I didn't get it for free." Nan Xiang expressed her satisfaction and didn't dwell on it. She then said, "Hey, there's something else interesting."

"You said."

"Didn't Lin Xiao go looking for you today? But not long after Lin Xiao left, Jian Xi went to look for him. Tang Wanru was there, and she said Lin Xiao had gone to see you. When Lin Xiao went back, Tang Wanru asked her if she had seen Jian Xi, but Lin Xiao said no..."

Nan Xiang said meaningfully, "Wang Yan, you've committed a heinous crime. Another couple is going to break up because of you."

"What are you saying? It was Lin Xiao who came to find me, not me who went to find her. If they could break up like that, then it means they weren't truly in love." Wang Yantian was shameless, as if he wasn't the one who had laid a hand on her.

"Hey, have you also taken a liking to Lin Xiao?"

"What do you mean by 'looking at her' or 'not looking at her'? I just said she's pretty. When we first met at the stadium, didn't I say she was prettier than Gu Li?"

Nan Xiang said, "You're such a scumbag, Wang Yan."

“Your definition of a scumbag is flawed. After all, I am responsible. And I made it clear beforehand that I have never intentionally deceived anyone. You have a huge misunderstanding about me, and I need to correct you.”

……

Compared to Wang Yan and Nan Xiang's carefree life, Gu Li's situation was much worse.

At the villa in the suburbs, Gu Li drank glass after glass of wine, even lighting a cigarette. Her mind replayed the interrogation, the seizure notice, the frozen accounts, Lin Xiao's phone call telling her the truth, and the words Gu Yuan had spoken to her a few days earlier when she tried to persuade him…

As Gu Yuan said, when it really came to her, she too was devastated. She lost hope for the future, wallowing in the comforts of the past, unable to pull herself out. Her heart was filled with endless regret and immense hatred for Wang Yan…

She spent the night in a drunken stupor, and the next day she woke up early, unable to sleep despite a terrible headache. Her mind began to clear, which only intensified her suffering.

I sat there blankly all morning, and when I got really hungry, I finally packed up and left the villa.

After finding a place to eat, Gu Li, having regained her senses, went straight to Gu Yuan's residence.

After a series of loud knocks, Gu Yuan finally opened the door.

Without saying a word, Gu Li slapped him across the face.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment after being slapped, then laughed loudly, turned around and went back into the house, where he lazily lay down on the sofa.

"You found out? Wang Yan told you, didn't he? I knew that guy surnamed Wang had no good intentions, he did it on purpose. But it doesn't matter, I did it on purpose too. Gu Li, come here, what about what you said the other day? Have you thought of any more profound principles these past two days? Now we're both in the same boat, so tell me, comfort me, and comfort yourself too."

Seeing Gu Yuan's erratic behavior, Gu Li was filled with disappointment.

"Gu Yuan, I never expected you to be this kind of person. I was originally thinking of taking care of you because I had the ability..."

"Gu Li, stop pretending. I know myself, I'm nothing, I can't do anything right. Can you keep spending money on me for long? You'll just look down on me and kick me out later. Now, your family is richer than mine, so you can save more, but you have a lot of family members too. Now that your dad's in jail, how much will you get?"

Gu Yuan chuckled softly, "You always said we were a good match, and people always said we were a good match too. Gu Li, now we're equal. I still love you, do you love me?"

"Is this how you love me?" Gu Li laughed in anger. "Gu Yuan, you're completely insane."

"Yes, I'm crazy. Now you're crazy too, aren't you? Hahaha..."

"Gu Yuan, you've got guts! Go get revenge on Wang Yan. Go kill him, do you dare?"

Gu Yuan said, "It was clearly you who wanted to kill him! It's all your fault, all the mess you made, all your fault! Even now, you still want to provoke me. You deserve what you got!"

"Didn't you want to kill Wang Yan? I'll teach you a way. That Wang guy is a lecher; if you offer yourself up, he'll definitely take you. When he's asleep, just grab a kitchen knife and chop him up. Anyway, you won't have any qualms about it. You slept with trash like Xi Cheng, isn't that Wang guy better than trash? Don't you think so?"

Gu Li, already in tears, just looked at Gu Yuan and shook her head in disappointment. She wanted to slap Gu Yuan a few times, and even more so, she wanted to give him a good scolding. But seeing Gu Yuan's utterly reckless and heartless attitude, Gu Li ultimately said nothing, wiped away her tears, and turned to leave…
