At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

/It seems the last chapter was censored…/

"Sir Chen, if you find yourself strapped for cash when setting up the factory later, feel free to ask me."

Gu Yu patted his chest with assurance.

"You do have the spirit, but you'd better keep your money for yourself! It's just about enough to pay your employees' salaries."

Chen Tian looked surprised, then shook his head and smiled.

He knew that Gu Yu's Ideal Paradise was doing quite well. He had checked it out before, and the actual paid-in capital had reached fifty million yuan.

For a company that had been established for only two months to achieve this was already a miracle in Huaxia's entrepreneurship circles.

But fifty million, though it might be a lot for a company, was just a drop in the ocean for him, and even more so for an energy factory.

He had already invested one and a half billion yuan into the energy factory he was just starting to build.

The subsequent costs would undoubtedly be counted in billions as well—ten billion, tens of billions, or even a hundred billion.

This would be a colossal money-devouring beast, into which any amount of cash could be swallowed up.

He was ready to gradually sell off the industries he had set up over the years.

Before he ran out of strength, he wanted to return to the nation what he had received from it!

"Sir Chen, aren't you underestimating me a bit? Fifty million is no small change!"

"And my company will certainly grow bigger and bigger, even bigger than your Shengda!"

Feeling belittled by Chen Tian, Gu Yu was somewhat indignant.

With the system at his side, the back-end management of his company was well-organized, making it virtually impossible to have any issues at the system level.

And now, Ideal Paradise also had a group of King of Competition who strived tirelessly for their aspirations.

He believed that it was only a matter of time before Ideal Paradise surpassed Shengda.

"I believe in you, but giants don't grow overnight. Although Shengda is on the decline now, your Ideal Paradise has a long way to go to catch up with Shengda."

Chen Tian didn't deny Gu Yu's words; of course, he believed that Gu Yu could surpass the former him and that Ideal Paradise could rise above Shengda.

But this would take time, and not a short amount of time at that.

Thinking this, he sighed with regret.

"Ah, I might not live to see that day."

He knew his own body well. Since the beginning of the year, he had been hospitalized several times, and his health was deteriorating day by day.

If not for good care, he would have probably been bedridden by now.

He just didn't know how many years he could hold on; it would be a blessing if he could make it until the energy factory was officially up and running.

As for witnessing Ideal Paradise surpass Shengda, he felt he probably wouldn't have the chance.

The development of Shengda took a full twenty years.

Even if Ideal Paradise was impressive, it would likely take ten years. Ten years—is it really possible for him to live that long?

Chen Tian was skeptical.

"Don't worry, with me here, you'll definitely live to see it," said Gu Yu with a very optimistic smile.

As someone who hung up posters, he had full confidence.

The day Ideal Paradise would surpass Shengda would definitely not be too far off. As for Sir Chen not feeling well and thinking he didn't have much longer to live,

all he wanted to say was that the System Mall had life-extending medicines, and keeping Sir Chen alive until ninety or a hundred years old was certainly no problem.

It's just that he didn't have many check-in points at the moment, having reserved half a million check-in points as a lifesaving measure, with only a little over twenty thousand points left.

That was the balance from before and the contributions from the company employees during this period.

Over twenty thousand points is not enough even for an intermediate skill...

The Life Extending Pill would cost at least a hundred thousand check-in points.

Right now, he certainly didn't have the chance to earn a hundred thousand check-in points.

The last time the system issued a mission was to take down Sword Barrier Network...

"System, you're not being very supportive right now! Give me some missions!"

Gu Yu muttered to himself in his heart.

Ding! A new task has been issued: record a video of eating noodles while doing a handstand on the Dou Ying platform, reward 100 Check-in Points!

The system seemed to have heard his words and casually assigned him a new task.

Gu Yu: "?"

"Damn system, are you sure you're not messing with me?"

System: "╮(╯▽╰)╭ Do it or don't, if you don't, I'll take it back."

Gu Yu: "..."

Alright, he did really need the Check-in Points, even though it was only a hundred, but it was still good!

"Consider it done, I'll accept the task."

Gu Yu cursed fiercely in his heart.

It turns out that the biggest capitalist is the system itself, still falling for the system's tricks after all!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Gu Yu's distraught expression, Lin Xinyue asked with concern.

"Baby, I suddenly feel like having noodles..." Gu Yu winked at Lin Xinyue.

Lin Xinyue looked puzzled: "Didn't we just finish eating? Are you hungry again so soon?"

Chen Tian, however, didn't find it strange: "Young people, they get hungry quickly."

"Since you want to eat noodles, shall I have the Yuebin Building's chef make you a bowl of yangchun noodles?"

Gu Yu quickly shook his head and then stood up with Lin Xinyue, "Sir Chen, no need to go to all that trouble, I just fancy eating the noodles made by Xinyue."

"Oh~ I get it, you young people are full of energy, in the middle of the day you're already... hehe, go on then, I was just about to take a trip to Shengda Game headquarters myself."

Chen Tian suddenly realized.

Lin Xinyue's face flushed with embarrassment: "What are you talking about, Sir Chen! That's so annoying!"

Gu Yu: "??? I was talking about the noodles below... Sir, how could your thoughts even go there?"

"Ah, don't be so uptight! When I was young, I don't know how many..."

Chen Tian almost let something slip, but thankfully he caught himself in time.

He couldn't let these two kids in on his romantic adventures from his youth.

He still cared about keeping up appearances.

"Right, I should head back, I still have a report to give to Ya this afternoon!"

Lin Xinyue suddenly clapped her hands, remembering she still had something she hadn't done.
Experience new stories with empire

"Goodbye, Sir Chen, please tell Chuyin I'll come to see her in a few days!"

She quickly dragged Gu Yu away from the Yuebin Building.

Chen Tian stood at the entrance, smiling as he watched the two drive away, his eyes revealing a trace of envy.

Once upon a time, he also had such a sincere love.

A gentle, virtuous, and graceful girl who pulled him out of the frivolous world and since then, they lived a sincere and happy life.

"Wife, just wait a few more years for me, once I get everything settled here, I'll be able to come to you," Chen Tian muttered softly as he looked up at the clear blue sky.

Little did he know, twenty years later, he would still be uttering the same sigh.

But all that is a story for another time.

Gu Yu focused on driving, while Lin Xinyue, still baffled, looked at him from the passenger seat: "You don't really want to eat noodles, do you?"

Gu Yu's eyes stayed on the road: "Of course... well, not really the noodles, I just want to shoot a video..."

"Shoot a video?"

Now Lin Xinyue was even more confused.

What on earth was Gu Yu up to?
