Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Before the dishes were served, Gu Yao's gaze was fixed on Yu Ran, observing him with great interest.

Suddenly, he spoke with a hint of teasing, "Our young master Yu has really gone all out. Just say what you need to say."

Yu Ran raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yao in front of him. He knew that intelligent people never need to say much.

He put down his phone, looked directly at Gu Yao, but did not speak immediately.

Even the usually oblivious Chen Zhao sensed something was amiss, noticing the strange expressions on the two people's faces.

He didn't know why the atmosphere at the dormitory gathering had suddenly become so tense.

Chen Zhao secretly tugged at Yu Ran's hand under the table, but Yu Ran hooked his fingers around hers.

Yu Ran didn't turn his head, and his expression remained serious.

Chen Zhao looked down and saw the hands he had envied countless times; the index and middle fingers were already hooking around his little finger.

Yu Ran's little finger was still gently scratching his palm, tickling him, as if to soothe him.

Chen Zhao, however, felt it was more like... seduction?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Chen Zhao blushed slightly and coughed awkwardly, tilting his head to the side.

How could he doubt Yu Ran like that?

It must be Gu Yao's doing; now everyone looks gay to him.

After some comforting words, Chen Zhao successfully brainwashed himself.

On the contrary, Gu Yao, who was sitting opposite, saw all of this.

A glint flashed in his eyes.

Yu Ran spoke up at this moment, getting straight to the point, "Gu Yao, I want to invest in your company."

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He intended to bring the entire dormitory into the group, and Yu Ran could offer her more help than Cen Yu Bai.

Cen Yubai was, after all, just an illegitimate son of the Cen family, while Yu Ran...

However, you must take the initiative in negotiations.

Gu Yao leaned forward slightly, his expression cold. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his light-colored eyes narrowing as he stared intently at Yu Ran. "Oh? What gives you the right to talk to me about this?"

Yu Ran remained unmoved. "I can provide the capital, and I can also contribute my technology as equity."

Gu Yao became interested. "Investment? How much?"

His company is on the right track and he's currently developing new products, so his savings are a bit tight.

Although things are a little better than at the beginning of the previous life, Gu Yao has been working non-stop lately.

Looking back on his previous life, he and Cen Yubai wished they could be in two places at once. The two of them were practically five people. Sometimes Gu Yao didn't even know how long it had been since he had slept.

They go everywhere seeking investment, and there are even cases of people drinking to the point of stomach bleeding at banquets.

The company is indeed short of money right now, and Gu Yao doesn't want to cause any trouble.

He has many ways to make money.

However, the most profitable methods are all recorded in the criminal law.

In my past life, when I was short of money, I tried a few times to help the company through a difficult period.

But now, he doesn't want to be behind bars and turn Xie Gui into a widower.

But he didn't want to ask Xie Gui for help, and now it's like someone just delivered a pillow when you're sleepy.

Yu Ran's expression relaxed.

If Gu Yao agrees, then there's room for negotiation.

A smile appeared on his face. "Twenty million, and I will personally contribute my technology as equity!"

Gu Yao thought for a moment, then said without beating around the bush, "Okay, how many shares do you want?"

If Yu Ran is too greedy, then he won't need to eat today.

He always needs to have control over his company.

Although he will definitely need financing as the business develops, and his shares will certainly be diluted, he needs to have absolute control in the current initial stage.

Upon hearing this, Cen Yubai's heart tightened, his eyes narrowed, and he held his breath, waiting for Yu Ran's reply.

Yu Ran seemed to sense Cen Yubai's nervousness, "I only need ten percent."

Cen Yubai breathed a sigh of relief.

"but……"

Cen Yubai brought it up again.

Yu Ran continued, "But I still need to give five percent to Chen Zhao."

Gu Yao nodded. "Okay."

Yu Ran wasn't greedy; for their small, fledgling company, 20 million was a worthwhile price.

Cen Yubai breathed a sigh of relief.

Every single day, they just keep messing with people's minds.

Chen Zhao, who had been dumbfounded since the start of their serious negotiations, jumped up from his chair upon hearing this, looking at Yu Ran as if he were a madman.

"Yu Ran, is today April Fool's Day? Where did you get 20 million? You couldn't even get 20 million if you sold yourself! You didn't do anything illegal, did you? I don't want to visit you in jail."

Yu Ran looked at his hand that had been flung away, then at Chen Zhao who was bombarding him with questions, and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "Idiot, do I look like that kind of person? This money is absolutely legal and compliant, and it came from a legitimate source."

Seeing Yu Ran's serious expression, Chen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and didn't ask where the money came from, but just shook his head.

"I don't want that damn share! If you're stupid enough to have money to burn, then keep it for yourself."

Gu Yao looked at Chen Zhao, then at Yu Ran, exchanging glances.

Didn't you tell him?

Yu Ran shrugged, looking helpless.

He just didn't realize it.

Chen Zhao is incredibly thick-skinned.

He never tried to hide it, but Chen Zhao's impression of him remained from their first meeting in childhood.

Back then in the countryside, he was filthy and must have looked extremely dirty.

Over the years, he has always stood by Chen Zhao's side as a protector. However, this fool still feels that his family is not well-off. He always tries to share his snacks with him in various ways and always brings him a portion when he buys food.

Yu Ran had told him before that she simply didn't like junk food.

Chen Zhao used all of this as an excuse to cover up his actions, as evidence that he was forcibly maintaining his self-esteem.

I always agree verbally, but I'll still bring him a portion next time.

Like a little sun, he forcefully entered Yu Ran's originally calm and gloomy life, illuminating his path from childhood to adulthood.

They've been together since they first met when they were seven, so how could he let Chen Zhao leave?

That's why he came up with this idea.

Plan Chen Zhao's post-graduation path in advance.

Yu Ran lowered his gaze and unconsciously rubbed his index and middle fingers together, as if the slightly burning heat still lingered on them.

He closed his eyes.

Call him despicable or shameless, he was determined to keep Chen Zhao alive.
