Chapter 257: Chapter 166: Family Division

Another group was made up of second-hand luxury shop owners. Though their goods were pre-owned, they catered to their own clientele—a very high-end one at that.

These people began using different accounts to purchase the Country GY national style skincare sets and the National Style Bags.

Their objective was also very clear: to sell the new releases. Once the National Style Bags shipped, they would bundle them with the Country GY national style skincare sets to sell them as a package.

This caused the sales in the GY store to skyrocket tonight.

Not only did sales for the national style skincare sets increase, but the pre-orders for the National Style Bags shot past five hundred units.

Over ten million in sales revenue was generated in a single night, and it wasn’t stopping.

That’s right, the sales just kept climbing.

Because GY was trending again!

This time, it wasn’t trending on TikTok, but on Weibo.

But that didn’t matter, because online traffic is fluid. In this age of internet traffic, people who make money from it will naturally follow where it flows.

Where there’s traffic, there’s money to be made!

Gao Yuan didn’t concern himself with what came next. He had already done so much; if his subordinates still couldn’t handle it, he would really have to consider replacing the team.

After that, Gao Yuan went to spend time with Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing.

This time, Gao Yuan didn’t lie across both of them. Instead, he leaned back on the sofa, his hands resting on and stroking their legs as he watched TV.

Men are really just big kids. Give them something to fiddle with, and they’re easily pleased.

"Brother Yuan, there’s something I want to talk to you about."

As they watched TV, Li Mengqing slowly leaned toward Gao Yuan’s shoulder and spoke in a low voice.

After dinner at her family’s home today, her older brother Li Lin had walked her to the car. It was then that she finally learned about her family’s situation. Although her brother hadn’t been explicit, she could sense that the Li Family’s business wasn’t clean.

She had originally held a lot of resentment toward the Li Family, but tonight’s dinner had given her a rare sense of warmth.

Li Lin had said he wanted to meet Gao Yuan to discuss Technology City, and Li Mengqing felt she should tell Gao Yuan about it.

She had also noticed how much Gao Yuan liked those three buildings. Perhaps a conversation really could lead to something productive.

But she was also very aware that getting involved with the Li Family was a bad idea, and she needed to make sure Gao Yuan was on his guard.

"When I was home for dinner tonight, my family was talking all about you. I think they seem pretty interested in Yuanfang Company."

Li Mengqing voiced her suspicions to Gao Yuan.

Although Lin Wanyu was watching TV, her ears were wide open, listening intently to what Li Mengqing was saying.

When she heard Li Mengqing’s words, she immediately looked at her, then glanced up at Gao Yuan. Seeing his calm expression, she turned her attention back to the television.

Gao Yuan wrapped his arm around Li Mengqing’s shoulder, letting her rest her head against him. "I know," he said nonchalantly.

Gao Yuan was sharp. The moment Li Mengqing got that call from her family, he’d had his suspicions.

’Otherwise, Shuya wouldn’t have gotten to enjoy that little thrill.’

’But still, he wasn’t really afraid of this.’

’On one hand, he was the second-largest shareholder of the Lin Group. On the other, his work was in the internet industry, completely separate from the Li Family’s business.’

’If they wanted to cause trouble, they’d need an in.’

’Besides, he, Gao Yuan, had a powerful backer—no, not a backer, a sugar mama. A super-rich one, at that.’

’The Li Family’s entire fortune was probably nothing in Xiao Xiao’s eyes.’

Hearing Gao Yuan say he knew, Li Mengqing suddenly felt a wave of relief. She was truly moved that he understood all this and still doted on her so much.

This reaffirmed her decision to stay with Gao Yuan always.

Just before, when Gao Yuan had gone to answer his phone, Lin Wanyu had been too absorbed in the TV to see the single word displayed on the screen, but Li Mengqing had seen it.

But it was in her nature to keep things to herself. Though she was curious which woman Gao Yuan would have saved in his phone as "Wife," and wondered what her own place was in his heart, she didn’t ask.

Her relationship with Gao Yuan, and Lin Wanyu’s as well, had developed very naturally. Neither of them had ever asked him for any kind of official title or status.

Besides, Gao Yuan’s actions and character had always earned both her and Lin Wanyu’s trust, so she wanted to wait for him to be the one to bring it up.

Or to wait for him to give her that status.

For now, however, Li Mengqing’s main goal was to talk to Gao Yuan about Technology City.

"There’s one more thing. My older brother, Li Lin, wants to meet with you tomorrow."

Hearing that Li Mengqing’s brother wanted to meet him, Gao Yuan recalled the man he’d seen when he picked her up.

He was a tall, handsome, and well-built man, but the gold-rimmed glasses Li Lin wore added a touch of scholarly refinement to his appearance.

In particular, Li Lin’s constant smile made a rather good impression.

"Did he say what it was about?"

Gao Yuan tilted his head and looked at Li Mengqing as he asked.

"He said he wanted to talk about Technology City. I don’t really get it, but I figured since you like that place so much, I should ask if you wanted to meet him."

Gao Yuan didn’t answer Li Mengqing right away. This was something he really needed to think about.

He had just learned from Li Mengqing that Li Lin himself had admitted some of the family’s dealings couldn’t see the light of day. Gao Yuan could have guessed as much.

’It’s hard to stay completely clean in the construction and mining businesses.’

’How many people from the older generation who built an enterprise to this scale could say their first pot of gold was clean?’

’He was thinking about Yuanfang’s future. Getting entangled with the Li Family really wouldn’t be a good thing. It would be like swatting a fly on a pristine white suit.’
