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

Chapter 446 The Beginning of Everything 37

Seeing Chen Zhao's still somewhat angry face, Yu Ran smiled gently and pulled her to sit down in a chair. "Zhao, don't you want to work with me in the future?"

"And Gu Yao and Yu Bai, they're both in the same company." Yu Ran pointed to the two people opposite him.

Chen Zhao was taken aback; Yu Ran hadn't called him that in a long time.

He frowned in confusion, and under Yu Ran's expectant gaze, he finally took a deep breath and said, "Then I don't want your shares. I'll work for you guys instead."

He was self-aware, knowing that he was only slightly smarter than the average person, but still quite different from the group of people in front of him.

It's a matter of talent; he can't catch up.

Yu Ran's eyes flickered, and she gave Gu Yao a wink. Gu Yao raised an eyebrow and slowly said, "How can that be? If you don't want Yu Ran's shares, I'll give you five percent of them. How about that?"

Chen Zhao wanted to say something more, but Gu Yao raised his hand to interrupt him, putting on a magnanimous air, "I don't lack this. If you really feel indebted, then work hard and consider it your technical expertise as equity."

He leaned back in his chair, revealing a capitalist's exploitative smile. "After all, I'm not exactly a good boss."

Gu Yao pointed at Chen Zhao, "In the early stages of starting a business, you need to be prepared to be a beast of burden."

Seeing that Gu Yao had already put it this way, Chen Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, consider it my investment of technology."

Gu Yao smiled and said, "Then I'll add another two percent for you personally."

Yu Ran and Cen Yubai both looked up at Gu Yao in surprise, especially Yu Ran, whose gaze was extremely complicated. They wanted to say something, but then a knock came at the door.

The waiter has come to the private room to serve the food.

Gu Yao waved his hand, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Alright, alright, that's enough. It's settled then. Saying more would be too formal."

Chen Zhao felt a warmth in his heart, nodded, picked up his chopsticks, put on gloves, and waved his hand, "Alright! I'll take the job! From now on, we're in the same boat."

Yu Ran rubbed his forehead. "Idiot, let's put it more poetically, it's about sharing weal and woe."

Chen Zhao chuckled, "The words may be rough, but the meaning is sound."

"Cheers, oh wait, I mean dried shrimp!"

Gu Yao looked up and saw that the boy's arrogant smile was full of expectations for the future, without any gloom. However, his chuunibyou (delusional) appearance, wearing disposable gloves and holding a bright red spicy crayfish, made people laugh.

What should have been a proper conversation was completely derailed by Chen Zhao.

Yu Ran glanced at it and then turned her head away, "Idiot."

Chen Zhao, however, seemed determined and shouted, "Can't you guys have a little sense of ceremony? What if our company becomes one of those awesome companies in the future? Then when we're being interviewed, we'll have something to say about it."

Yu Ran: "..."

He's thinking about flying before he's even started. Okay, that's very Chen Zhao.

Cen Yubai, who had been silent all along, glanced at him and said coolly, "What are you saying? Saying that the company's founders are just a bunch of shrimp with a sense of ritual? I can't afford to lose face like that."

Chen Zhao scratched his head. "I want to drink too, but I'm allergic to alcohol. I can't all drink alcohol while I drink soft drinks. That would be so embarrassing. Don't you think it's very thoughtful of you?"

Chen Zhao's eyes lit up as he tried to persuade the remaining three.

The brothers all drink alcohol, while he drinks a soft drink. What's the difference between that and his brothers hitting a home run while he's still stuck in Makka Pakka?

He couldn't afford to lose this man.

The strange competitive spirit among boys.

Seeing that no one moved, Chen Zhao felt a little awkward and lowered his hands slightly. "It is a little awkward, huh? If you don't want to, then forget it..."

Before the outstretched hand could be lowered, it was pulled up by a hand that cut in from the side. Another bright red shrimp bumped into Chen Zhao's shrimp, and the two curled-up shrimp looked particularly intimate as they snuggled together.

"It's a bit silly, but it's not impossible."

Chen Zhao glanced to the side and saw that Yu Ran had already stood up.

They were the same height as each other, and their eyes met unexpectedly. A smile bloomed on that usually indifferent face.

It's a bit dazzling.

For Chen Zhao...

He felt like he wasn't normal anymore; his heart seemed to skip a beat.

He quickly looked away.

Gu Yao also stood up, raised a crayfish and held it in front of the two of them, "I'll risk my life to accompany you today. If there's a real interview in the future, don't say I was there too. Don't drag me into this embarrassing history."

Although they complained, they couldn't hide the smile on their faces; their happiness, which came from within, was impossible to conceal.

Cen Yubai pursed his lips, feeling utterly unfamiliar with this situation.

He had no friends growing up, and the precarious living conditions in the Cen family made him feel like he was surrounded by enemies.

He harbors the utmost malice towards everyone. He is adept at disguising himself, able to appear polite and courteous, but only he knows that he cannot trust anyone.

If Gu Yao hadn't acted as if he knew him inside and out, and if he hadn't had the Xie family backing him up, Cen Yubai probably wouldn't have taken this gamble.

He rubbed his fingertips together, his eyes lowered, and remained motionless.

After spending several months together, he grew to like his two roommates quite a bit.

Therefore, he didn't want to lie to them.

He didn't want to put on a facade of sincerity, but he was still wary inside.

Therefore, he chose to remain silent.

All three eyes fell on him. Gu Yao, who had been with Cen Yubai for six years, could tell at a glance what was wrong with him.

I simply and roughly pulled him up from the chair and shoved a disposable glove into his hand. "It's silly, but let's just be silly this once. Let's accommodate our poor little guy who can't drink."

Cen Yubai was startled by the force of the pull, his fingertips crumpling the disposable gloves, but he didn't put them on, his eyes lowered as if he was thinking about something.

Gu Yao didn't give him a chance to refuse; he simply called out softly, "Yu Bai."

His voice was not as arrogant as usual; instead, it carried a hint of gentleness.

Cen Yubai turned his head to look, but Gu Yao looked proud. He pointed to the two people opposite him, then to himself, "We are the people you can rely on in the future business world. You'd better curry favor with us now. Eat, oh no, I mean, dried shrimp!"

Cen Yubai subconsciously looked at Yu Ran and Chen Zhao, and Yu Ran gave him a reassuring smile.

He was adept at reading people and had already keenly sensed the sensitive emotions of the aloof academic star in their dormitory.

Chen Zhao also noticed something, and he put on a pitiful look, "Yeah, yeah, you guys can't be on the highway while I'm still in Makka Pakka, can you?"

None of the three explicitly stated it, but they all tacitly took care of Cen Yubai's feelings and used their own methods to pull him into their circle.

Cen Yubai's eyes darted around, sweeping across the three faces. His stunned expression shifted slightly. Looking down at the crumpled disposable gloves on his hands, he slowly loosened his grip.

The wrinkled gloves slowly unfolded slightly in the palm of the hand.

Cen Yubai slowly put on the glove, which was already wrinkled beyond recognition, and raised his other hand to adjust his glasses.

A smile appeared on his lips, but it was no longer the perfect curve; it carried a somewhat awkward stiffness.

The smile in his eyes was genuine.

It's like the melting of a snow-capped mountain that never melts, or like a corner being pried open on the surface of a hard, icy lake.

He raised a crayfish to meet the other three.

Chen Zhao was the happiest and spoke first, "Today is our..." He suddenly paused, scratched his head, and looked at Gu Yao, "What's our company called?"

Yu Ran: "..."

Gu Yao: "..."

Cen Yubai: "..."
