Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Drunk

Or find the best family to cooperate with. Though our profits might be reduced, we can still make a name for our brand.

Not to mention, with their support, we don’t need to fear anyone else.

Once we establish our brand, we expand to other countries and start to earn major profits. All this while Bao’er has to show her face.

To hide her identity, she can wear a human skin mask. So Bao’er you will wear the first one when you negotiate with some wealthy family.

The second one will be worn when you are in the store trying to take the order. The third one is when you are sending the parcels.

The fourth one will be worn as the second layer of protection. I mean you will first wear the fourth mask, and then another mask on it, so that even if they tear off your first mask, your true face may not be revealed.

As for the fifth mask, it is extra."

Gu Jin felt thirsty after talking for such a long time and drank a glass of water before continuing,

"Siyao you will look for customers in the military, but remember to wear the first mask. When you deliver the psychomindris plant wear the second mask.

The third mask will be worn as the second layer of protection. For you, fourth and fifth masks will be extra."

"Wait! Then what we will do if someday for some reason we have to prove that the brand belongs to us?" Lu Siyao asked anxiously.

Liang Bao chuckled,

"Idiot! Then why do you think we have to do the documentation part?"

"Oh right!"

"We just have to ensure that no one knows her identity. Otherwise, things could get really messy," Liang Bao finished, her tone serious now.

Gu Jin nodded in agreement.

"Exactly. The whole point of these layers of disguise is to prevent any connection between us and the brand until we’re ready to go public with it.

By then, we’ll have enough power and connections to back us up."

"Good!"

"Agreed!"

"I have made a public account which we all three can access. Transfer all the profits or income generated in this account and Bao will compute the money and transfer the profit every month accordingly."

"Okay!" Liang Bao and Lu Siyao nodded eagerly.

They could already see money flowing towards them.

"Good."

"Jin’er" Lu Siyao called out.

"Hm?"

"What will you do with that jacket?" Lu Siyao asked.

"Let’s wait and watch." Gu Jin said nonchalantly. Though she wanted to repay her savior, she wouldn’t run headless just to find him.

"Jin’er...I will miss you." Lu Siyao said softly. Her eyes slowly turned moist.

Gu Jin wanted to chuckle and hide her feelings, but her heavy heart didn’t allow her to.

The past 3 years were filled with adventure and many strange memories. She thought she would be lonely, but with Lu Siyao and Liang Bao’s company, even she didn’t realize how fast the time was passing.

The memories of how they used to prepare for exams together, spar, go to watch movies, amusement parks, bunk lectures together, and even play pranks on those who try to bully them.

A normal childhood.

That was what her grandpa wished for her to have.

She didn’t understand why he wished that. But when she spent time with Lu Siyao and Liang Bao, Gu Jin understood what her grandfather meant.

Now...looking at the two mature women who will soon leave her and focus on their career and maybe make new friends, Gu Jin felt uncomfortable.

"I will miss you too." Gu Jin said softly.

Liang Bao lowered her head to hide the tears forming in her eyes.

Lu Siyao couldn’t control her emotions and burst into tears.

"Wu...wu! Jin’er...Bao’er I don’t want to leave you both! Wu...wu."

Gu Jin pursued her lips.

Liang Bao, still trying to hold back her own tears, wrapped her arms around Lu Siyao.

"We don’t want to leave either, Yao’er," she whispered, her voice shaky.

Gu Jin stood silently.

She wanted to say something to lighten the mood, but words failed her.

"I can’t believe it’s really happening," Liang Bao said, her voice low but steady.

"We’ve been through so much together, and now everything is changing."

Lu Siyao sniffed, pulling back from Liang Bao.

"Why do we have to grow up? Can’t we just stay like this forever?"

Gu Jin gave a small smile, walking over to pat Lu Siyao’s head gently.

"Because life moves on. And we need to move with it, no matter how hard it feels. But..." She paused, looking between her two friends,

"No matter where we go or what we do, we’ll always have each other. Distance won’t change that."

"Hmm."

"Jin’er I will continue to investigate the matter from Country R." Liang Bao said with determination.

"Me too." Lu Siyao said hurriedly.

"Then I will thank you both in advance." Gu Jin said in a good mood.

"Hey, how about having a drink together tonight?" Lu Siyao suddenly suggested.

"Sure!" Liang Bao agreed.

Gu Jin hesitated before agreeing.

That night all three of them drank till late night.

To avoid any assassination, Gu Jin had secretly brought Liang Bao and Lu Siyao into her space. In this way, she could relax for the time being without worrying about any assassin.

Liang Bao and Lu Siyao were drunk and kept on muttering nonsensical things.

Gu Jin on the other hand stared at the galaxy and muttered,

"Grandpa...I miss you."

Suddenly she thought of a certain jerk.

Her heart was itching and she wanted to shout at him.

Didn’t he claim he loved her current fiance a lot? Then why did he kiss her?

Even Gu Jin didn’t realize...she had become drunk. Otherwise, how could she forget that Long Yifan did kiss her...but it was just a dream.

She picked up her phone and stared at it for a long time.

"Hey...Jin’er...why are you staring at the phone?" Liang Bao asked in a slurred voice, her eyes half-closed from the alcohol.

Gu Jin blinked, snapping out of her daze. She looked over at Liang Bao, who was swaying slightly, a playful grin on her face.

For a moment, Gu Jin wasn’t sure how to answer.

"I was just... thinking," Gu Jin finally muttered, placing her phone down on the table.

Liang Bao giggled, stumbling over to sit beside her.

"Thinking about who? Is it that jerk you’re always thinking about?"

"Hm...he kissed me." Gu Jin said softly.

"He did? That jerk! Where is he? I want to beat him! How dare he take advantage of my Jin’er...I will beat...." Before Lu Siyao could finish her words, she fell down.

Liang Bao gave her a bored glance and turned to look at Gu Jin,

"Jin’er...I have some advice for you...If he kissed you...you should ask him what he means...he can’t just kiss you and leave right? The least he could do is give you an explanation, right?"

Gu Jin narrowed her eyes and thought for a while.

"You are right! I will call that jerk!"

How could she let a guy take advantage of her?

With this thought, Gu Jin picked up her phone and dialed Long Yifan’s number.

For a long time...Gu Jin refrained from drinking from that day onwards.

Of course, the phone recording became one of the black materials Long Yifan later used against Gu Jin.

............

The next day.

Gu Jin woke up and looked at Liang Bao and Lu Siyao who were still fast asleep.

She clutched her head which was paining from the hangover last night and groaned.

It took her a long time to return to her senses.

She hurriedly took a hangover pill and once she recovered completely, Gu Jin teleported Lu Siyao and Liang Bao out of the space.

"What time is it..." Gu Jin muttered and started to find her phone. When she picked up her phone and turned it on, she saw that her phone’s battery died.

"Huh? How can it die? I remember I fully charged it yesterday...Uh...Anyways I will charge it."

Gu Jin put her phone on charging and exited the space.

After taking a shower, and waking Liang Bao and Lu Siyao up, the three of them discussed the ways to market their product.

All three of them forgot about the mess they had created last night. But they didn’t care to recall the night which they forgot, thinking it was one of the ordinary night.

Later they regretted not remembering it.

Once the time was up, Luo Meng arrived at their doorstep with his car.

Lu Siyao leaned toward Gu Jin’s ears and said,

"Hey, I truly think Luo Meng is a good candidate. Once he grows up, make him your boyfriend."

Gu Jin slapped Lu Siyao’s arms while Luo Meng chuckled,

"Sister Lu you are still the best."

All four of them soon arrived at the airport.

"Jin’er and Yao’er don’t forget what I said." Liang Bao said.

She was talking about the investigation.

"Hm."
