The villain is too crazy, the little ancestor is not going to do it anymore

This man, Fu Hanting, does have some means.

At least, he is better than Li Shenzhi.

so what?

Threaten her?

Is Gu Ranle someone who is afraid of threats?

Gu Ranle sighed softly, "Oh, that's such a pity. I wanted to introduce my elder brother to you, but now it seems that my elder brother doesn't have this blessing. Mr. Fu, please give the phone to Dr. Song. I have a few words to say to him."

"Little girl." The phone returned to Song Yu's hand.

"Uncle Song, I'll send you the detailed treatment plan later."

"You're not coming over?"

"No, I've been busy lately and I really can't spare the time."

After ending the call, Gu Ranle put the phone aside and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, she ignored her phone and went straight to the study.

She spent the whole afternoon in the study, and after sending Mr. Luo's detailed treatment plan to Song Yu, she read for several hours.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

After Wang Ma prepared dinner, she came upstairs to call her to eat.

"Miss, dinner is ready, let's go downstairs and eat."

Gu Ranle closed the book, stretched, and asked, "Is everyone back?"

"The eldest and second young masters will not be back for dinner tonight. Only Miss Yueming is back."

Wang Ma replied late, and then added: "The eldest young master called and asked you to call him back when you are free."

"Well, I see."

Gu Ranle turned back to the bedroom to get her cell phone and found that in addition to the missed call from Gu Jingcheng, there were several other missed calls and unread messages.

She called Gu Jingcheng back first, and the call was connected after a few rings.

Gu Jingcheng's voice came, a little noisy, obviously he was answering the phone outside.

He explained: "I was having dinner with a client and it was a bit noisy."

Then he added, "Fu Hanting called me this afternoon and said he was willing to cooperate with the Gu family in developing the land in the west of the city."

The land in the west of the city finally fell into the hands of the Luo family in the capital after a fierce battle at the end of last year.

Gu Jingcheng had tried to cooperate with Fu Hanting many times, but he never even met him and was always rejected for various reasons.

He knew very well that the Luo family was unwilling to cooperate because the Gu family was not strong enough.

But today, Fu Hanting actually took the initiative to propose cooperation, and agreed to discuss the specific details after he arrived in Gu Cheng tomorrow.

Although Gu Jingcheng was excited, he also had doubts. After all, this sudden cooperation opportunity was hard to predict.

He remembered that Gu Ranle had specifically asked him to send an invitation letter to Fu Hanting, and guessed that the two might know each other, so he called to confirm, but unfortunately Gu Ranle did not answer the call at that time.

After hearing this, Gu Ranle's expression was indifferent. "Didn't you say before that the Luo family would cooperate with the Li family? Are you kicking the Li family out now, or do you just want to share some of the benefits with us?"

"I don't know the details yet. Fu Hanting said we'll talk behind Gu Cheng tomorrow." Gu Jingcheng responded.

"Tell Fu Hanting that he can only choose one between the Gu family and the Li family." Gu Ranle said in a firm tone.

Gu Jingcheng was silent for a moment after hearing this. "Le Le, the company's current situation is not optimistic. Working capital is tight and it is difficult to get bank loans. With our current strength, we can only take on one-tenth of the projects at most. If we take on more, it will be difficult to digest."

“What is the estimated total investment?”

"200."

Gu Ranle was secretly surprised that the company was in such a tight spot.

She sighed secretly, "I'll take care of the funding issue, big brother, just talk to Fu Hanting."

"Okay." Gu Jingcheng responded.

Other missed calls included those from Song Yu, Zhao Lili, Luo Jiangdu, and a strange number from Gu Cheng's hometown. Gu Ranle did not call back each one, but just quickly browsed the unread messages.

Luo Jiangdu's messages popped up one after another, appearing both anxious and enthusiastic.

[Luo Jiangdu: You evil doctor, Dr. Song has already come to the capital. When will you come? I will arrange it for you.]

[Luo Jiangdu: Evil doctor, what are your requirements for accommodation? Are there any dietary restrictions?]

[Luo Jiangdu: You evil doctor, how about I ask my elder brother to apply for a special plane to pick you up? Or should I ask my elder brother to drive to pick you up personally?]

[Luo Jiangdu: Calling the wicked divine doctor! Calling the wicked divine doctor!]

Next came Song Yu's message, his words revealing a hint of helplessness.

[I am as straight as steel: I have read the plan, but I am not confident in my skills. You should come in person.]

[I am as straight as steel: I know you were just saying that in anger.]

[I am as straight as steel: Fu Hanting called Gu Jingcheng this afternoon. I don’t know what they talked about. You can ask Gu Jingcheng.]

[I am as straight as steel: The place for treatment has been decided. I went to see Mr. Luo this afternoon. The situation is not optimistic.]

Gu Ranle replied to Song Yu's message.

[The Five Elements lack morality but not money: Fu Hanting will come to Gucheng tomorrow, maybe he will ask me to meet him, we will talk about it then.]

Song Yu replied briefly: [Okay.]

When I came down from upstairs, Butler Zhao was already waiting at the stairs.

"Miss, Mr. Li is here."

Wang Ma joked, "Look at this attitude, are you coming to our house for a free meal again?"

She deliberately dragged out the word "again", with a hint of teasing in her tone.

The air around me seemed to be able to sense that subtlety——

"Other men who chase girls use flowers and delicious food to attract them, but he treats this place like a canteen."

Gu Ranle smiled slightly and said to Wang Ma, "Wang Ma, when he comes, you should ask him to pay for his food. He can't eat at our house for free every day."

"Okay!" Aunt Wang agreed readily, thinking about what would be the appropriate fee.

Every time Li Shenzhi comes, there are five mouths to feed.

"Five hundred per person, isn't that too much? After all, this is the young master of the richest man's family and his bodyguard team." Aunt Wang muttered to herself, "Five people, that's two thousand five hundred, the price in restaurants outside can't be lowered."

As soon as Li Shenzhi stepped over the threshold, Aunt Wang came to greet him immediately, and the payment code on her mobile phone was dazzlingly bright.

"Mr. Li, let's settle the bill before we eat. Five hundred per person, a total of two thousand five hundred. Just scan the code."

When Ling Chong, who was standing behind Li Shenzhi, heard this, his expression changed slightly.

Five hundred for a meal, are the Gu family going crazy because of poverty?

Ling Chong subconsciously held the phone in his trouser pocket tightly, fearing that it would come out and pay the bill.

Seeing this, Wang Ma added with a smile: "Of course, if you have already eaten, just ignore what I said."

Li Shenzhi smiled calmly and said to Ling Chong, "Ling Chong, pay."

Ling Chong had no choice but to take out his mobile phone, scan the code and pay 500 yuan.

Wang Ma's phone notified her that 500 yuan had been deposited into her account. "500 yuan is just for one person's meal expenses."

Ling Chong quickly said: "I'm not hungry. This money belongs to my husband, so I won't eat."

Then he looked at the other three people and said, "Whoever wants to eat, pay for it yourself."

The three of them shook their heads and said in unison: "We are not hungry either."

Five hundred yuan for a meal, they really think they are being taken advantage of! I can order takeout later and eat a full meal for fifty yuan.

The weather was too hot and no one had much appetite, so Aunt Wang cooked mung bean soup tonight, mixed a few cold dishes, and fried dumplings that were left over from the morning.

Such a home-cooked meal doesn't seem to be worth five hundred dollars.

The most important thing is that these cold dishes are all sour and spicy, and even the fried dumplings are sprinkled with chili powder.

Li Shenzhi just took a bite and he started coughing because of the spiciness. He had to drink mung bean soup instead and didn't dare to eat any more vegetables.

Gu Ranle looked at him and laughed in her heart, "Tell me what you want to eat that's not spicy. I'll ask Aunt Wang to make it again."

"No need to bother," Li Shenzhi shook his head, holding the bowl and sipping the mung bean soup in small sips, like a pitiful kitten, "It's good to have this soup."

Gu Ranle really couldn't stand him behaving like this in front of her.

"Let me make you a bowl of noodles." She put down her chopsticks and stood up.

When he heard that she was going to cook for him personally, Li Shenzhi's eyes lit up immediately and he immediately put down the mung bean soup in his hand.

"I want to eat tomato and egg noodle soup with some vegetables, is that ok?"

"Okay, absolutely." Gu Ranle teased him intentionally, "It's only five hundred yuan. Even if you want to eat beef noodles, I'll make it for you."

"No, no, no, tomato and egg noodles are good enough." Li Shenzhi waved his hands quickly.

Even though Gu Ranle hasn't cooked for many years, making a bowl of tomato and egg noodles is still no problem for her.

There were all the ingredients in the kitchen, and in a short while, a bowl of delicious noodles came out of the pot.

Li Shenzhi eagerly tasted the soup, "Mm, it tastes really good, I didn't expect you have such a skill."

"There are still many things you can't imagine. Eat quickly and leave quickly after eating. My brother will be back soon."

For Gu Ranle, cooking is just one of the basic life skills. You can choose not to cook, but you must know how to cook.

Especially this kind of simple, quick and filling food is even more handy.

Unexpectedly, Li Shenzhi said without even looking up: "Brother-in-law won't be back too early tonight. I've already asked someone about it."

Gu Ranle: “…”

It turns out that he had done his homework before coming here to eat.

admire!

Well, just pretend she didn't say anything.

The noodles were too hot. Li Shenzhi was very hungry, but he didn't dare to eat too much.

He raised his head and looked at Gu Ranle with his eyes full of desire. "Bao, can you help me get a small bowl to share?"

Gu Ranle was drinking mung bean soup and almost choked.

What?

What did he call her?

"Bao?" She repeated doubtfully. She had to clean up the food residue in her mouth first. Then she frowned and looked at him. "What did you call me just now?"

"Bao." Li Shenzhi answered as a matter of course.

"No... where did you learn this name?" Gu Ranle was a little amused.

"I figured it out myself," Li Shenzhi said proudly, "I think it's more intimate than 'baby' or 'big baby', what do you think?"

He had an expression on his face that said "Please praise me for being smart."

Gu Ranle couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Heh," "You're quite good at thinking, baby."

"Is that so? You also think this name is good. Then from now on..."

Li Shenzhi's eyes flickered, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, and stared at Gu Ranle with expectation.

Gu Ranle chuckled, "Then don't think about it anymore."

Li Shenzhi: “…”

He was stunned for a moment and blinked, "Don't you like it?"

Hey, why does it smell like tea?

Gu Ranle was really convinced. She asked him to pursue her, not to show off his tea art.

She lowered her eyes to eat and said calmly, "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not, as long as you like it."

"Anyway, I like it very much. If you don't object, I will call you like this from now on, baby~"

Li Shenzhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and deliberately dragged out the ending tone. The word "bao" seemed to be given life in his mouth, gently spinning and jumping in the air, with an indescribable intimacy and sweetness that made people feel a ripple in their hearts.

【Ding dong! 】

【Favorability +20】

[Host’s current favorability: -5%]

"..."

Is he pleasing himself?

It turns out that self-entertainment can also increase your favorability.

The point is, she worked so hard to make him a bowl of noodles, and her price only went up a little bit, but his calling her "treasure" actually made her price go up so much.

Indeed, there are thousands of ways to increase favorability, but the one she used is the worst.

Forget it, no matter what method it is, as long as it can increase favorability, it is a good method.

She got up and went to the kitchen to get a small bowl. She took out some noodles and put them in the bowl, then blew on it twice in a pretentious manner.

"Come on, baby, eat slowly, I'll serve you more when you're done."

She handed the small bowl to Li Shenzhi, and before she could let go, she heard a "ding dong" sound.

【Favorability +5】

[Host's current favorability: 0]

Gu Ranle paused. If he fed it again, would it continue to grow?

Thinking of this, she quickly took the small bowl from Li Shenzhi's hand, picked up the chopsticks, picked up some noodles, blew on them, and brought them to his mouth.

"Come on, Bao, eat noodles."

Li Shenzhi: “…”

Why does this atmosphere suddenly give me this weird feeling of “Da Lang, it’s time to take your medicine”?

【Ding dong! 】

[Favorability-10]

[Host’s current favorability: -15%]

Li Shenzhi couldn't help but shudder, and quickly reached out his hand, "Well, I'd better do it myself."

Gu Ranle: “…”

You bastard, I served you food and you actually lowered your favorability towards me.

“Eat it if you like it!”

She put the bowl heavily on the table and started eating.

Li Shenzhi carefully picked up the bowl, picked up a noodle and brought it to his mouth, but hesitated when he was about to take a bite.

"Bao, you didn't take any drugs, did you?"

"It's ready. Do you dare to eat it?"

"dare."

Li Shenzhi slurped a noodle. It was smooth and chewy, really good.

"Bao, can you make tomato and egg noodles for me every day from now on?"

Gu Ranle was so angry that she laughed, "Li Shenzhi, are you chasing me or am I chasing you?"

"I'm pursuing you. I know you've been wronged, but don't worry, once my eyes are healed, I'll cook for you every day. My cooking skills are pretty good."

Gu Ranle stared at him. It was hard for her to imagine him busy in the kitchen with an apron on.

She raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. "Uncle Song has been treating you for the past few days. Do you feel anything special?"

"He was treated for two nights in a row, but he didn't get treated last night and the night before. He didn't feel anything. He's going out of town again today, so he definitely can't be treated tonight."

"I'll give you an acupuncture treatment tonight."

"???"

Li Shenzhi quickly swallowed the noodles in his mouth, "Baby, my body is already full of holes, please don't try to use me, okay?"
