Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The family gets along well, and Akahoshi is very satisfied with their current life as a couple.

As the company thrived, Gu Yuzhi made a considerable amount of money using his business acumen.

At that time, he was just a junior in college.

Chi Xing was an intern at Gu Yuzhi's company. He didn't have any grand ambitions; he just wanted to stay by A Yuzhi's side and watch him shine every day.

Gu Yuzhi simply took Chi Xing and started another company, which was named "Hengxing Trading".

Gu Yuzhi named the company and personally oversaw everything from site selection and decoration to hiring employees.

The company was under their names, and just like that, Akahoshi became the vice president right after graduation.

"Ayu, I just want to be your secretary, not your vice president."

Akahoshi pitifully complained that he really didn't want to work hard.

He had been hoping to have a "domineering CEO and pretty secretary" story with Ayu in this world, but unexpectedly, Ayu made him a vice president.

This was completely different from what Akahoshi had expected, which made him feel utterly deflated.

Gu Yuzhi patted his head: "Good boy, you don't need to do anything, I'll do it."

At this moment, Gu Yuzhi was like he had been injected with chicken blood, wishing he could use all the business knowledge he had learned before, and he really didn't let Chixing make a move.

The company grew bigger and bigger, and even started to engage in import and export trade.

Gu Yuzhi is like a born businessman, with a keener sense of market trends than even Chi Yang.

During this period, Gu Yuzhi also cooperated with the Chi family, and the result was a win-win situation.

At this time, Chi Xing also learned that Cheng Li and Gu Ye had been released from prison.

It turned out that the Cheng family, under Chi Yang's manipulation, failed to break away from the organization in time and were eventually arrested and put on trial.

The main members of the Cheng family were either dead or sentenced to prison, leaving only Cheng Li, who was imprisoned in another city, as a fugitive.

After the educated youth returned to the city, collective labor was abolished within a few years, and each household was allocated land to be self-sufficient.

Private trading was no longer speculation; with the educated youth no longer sent to the countryside, the brigade leader simply led the villagers to engage in animal husbandry.

All the educated youth from Xicun returned to the city, and all those who had been sent down to the farms were recalled.

Cheng Li and Gu Ye were exiled for crimes, so naturally they were taken back to continue serving their sentences.

Having endured three years of being sent to the countryside and then serving four years in prison, by the time he was released, the outside world had already undergone tremendous changes.

Compared to Gu Ye's confusion, Cheng Li, being a time traveler, had a more predictable feeling.

When he saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't hide his shock.

The two were released at the same time. They had been imprisoned in the same prison, so they left together after their release.

Two men with buzz cuts walked down the street, attracting the curiosity of some, but more people dared not approach.

Without the educated youth sent to the countryside, Cheng Li didn't want to go back to Xicun.

Gu Ye had a different idea. He was originally from Xicun. He recalled how his mother cried bitterly when he was taken away back then, and he didn't know how she was doing now.

Cheng Li didn't dare to go back to Beijing alone. He didn't even have money for the train, so he had to go home with Gu Ye.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they returned to Xicun, they saw Liu Yong, whom they had known for years.

At this moment, Liu Yong was holding a child in one arm and carrying things in the other. The woman next to him was probably his wife.

When he saw Cheng Li and Gu Ye, his face was still full of disbelief.

“Brother Liu… Brother Liu Yong…”

Seeing Liu Yong looking so spirited and confident, and then looking at Gu Ye, who looked so weathered and worn beside her, Cheng Li felt a moment of regret.

Liu Yong acted as if he hadn't seen him, and instead said to Gu Ye, "You're back. Go see your mother."

His brows furrowed slightly, giving Gu Ye a bad feeling.

And this premonition was not wrong. When they returned to the Gu family home, the weeds and fallen leaves in front of the Gu family home looked like they had not been swept for a long time, and the old courtyard gate was slightly open.

He knocked on the door, and footsteps quickly came from inside:

"Who?"

"It's me, Gu Ye." Gu Ye's voice was a little hoarse.

The person inside paused for a moment, then opened the door.

"You, my second brother?"

This woman was Gu Ye's sister-in-law. Seeing him return, she didn't give him a friendly look, and said with a stern face:

"Go in and see your mother quickly; she talks about you every day."

Gu Ye followed his sister-in-law into the house and immediately saw his father's memorial tablet, his eyes widening in surprise.

"My father..."

The eldest sister-in-law rolled her eyes: "We encountered a wild boar when we went up the mountain a couple of years ago, and Mother got seriously ill. You'll have to figure it out yourself."

My sister-in-law had already separated from them. After her father-in-law passed away, she came to take care of her mother-in-law, which was more than enough.

When Gu Ye entered the room, he saw his mother, who was terminally ill, and his elder brother, who looked blaming him.

Cheng Li wanted to come in, but was chased out by Sister-in-law Gu.

"Pah! It's all your fault, you're the one who ruined our family."

Cheng Li wanted to argue, but Sister-in-law Gu refused to listen and slammed the door shut.

Not long after, Gu Ye's crying could be heard from inside. Gu Ye's mother saw her youngest son, and the last breath she had held on to dissipated.

When news of Gu Ye's return spread, the villagers could not tolerate them and only allowed him to observe mourning for seven days at his mother's grave.

When Brother Gu saw that he was still with Cheng Li, he simply gave him some money and told him to go as far away as he wanted.

Cheng Li said he had a way to make money, and that if Gu Ye was willing to take him to Beijing, they would have a chance to turn things around.

Akahoshi was bored and waited for the self-righteous transmigrator to walk right into his trap.

The day came quickly. When he went with Gu Yuzhi to check on the project's progress, he ran into Cheng Li, who was looking for work everywhere.

"President Gu, President Chi, our company is currently recruiting. These are the applicants." The head of the human resources department spoke to the two men with utmost respect.

Gu Yuzhi did not recognize Cheng Li among them, only Chi Xing glanced at her and got a mischievous urge.

"Mr. Gu, since we have nothing else to do, why don't you take a look at the interviews? I haven't looked at any yet."

Gu Yuzhi never refused him. As soon as Chi Xing spoke, the people below prepared to make room for them.

As expected, Gu Yuzhi sat in the middle with Chi Xing.

Gu Yuzhi, who was always serious about his work, looked at the resume and invited someone in for an interview.

Soon it was Cheng Li's turn, full of confidence.

Since arriving in Beijing, Cheng Li has become much more confident. The things here are far too outdated for someone who has transmigrated here.

He firmly believes that as long as he is willing to work hard, even a convict can ride the waves and become someone who benefits from the times.

Gu Ye didn't have as many thoughts as him. After arriving here, in order to survive, he had no choice but to work as a bricklayer on the construction site.

The two didn't separate; Gu Ye rented a small room, and they continued to live together.

This life of relying on each other actually improved their relationship a lot.

Cheng Li also earnestly changed his image and worked hard to interview at private companies. As long as someone could appreciate him, he could rise rapidly in his career.

Unfortunately, his ideals were lofty, but reality slapped him hard in the face.
