Listening to Mu Zong's words, Gu Xuqiao's expression remained unchanged.
“Uncle Mu, this is N City. With the Yin family watching him, it was impossible for those from the Imperial Capital to expand their reach here. Believe me, in the near future the Nine Heavens Network will occupy the top of this country, and even the great families in the Imperial Capital will be hesitant to move against us. ” The words spoken by the girl were soft but firm and clear, and sounded loud in her ears.
Mu Zong's eyes flickered as he glanced into the distance, as if the scene was playing in his eyes. Their company already had advanced software to research, a perfect marketing plan, and Gu Xiqiao also personally designed risk-free financial products. These are just a few of the products they have, but have managed to attract those financial predators right from the start. Which in turn has attracted almost millions of investments, and with such a scenario, don't talk about standing at the top within the country, even standing at the top of the world doesn't sound impossible right now, does it?
After hanging up the phone, Mu Zong asked Wang Bo to bring a contract to meet Luo Wenlang.

When Luo Wenlang returned to the hospital once more, Gu Xiqiao was already gone. Luo Wenlin was watching a rerun of the program that afternoon on TV.
“Brother! Look Sister Xu! ” Seeing Luo Wenlang has returned, Luo Wenlin pointed to the TV excitedly, “Saudari Xu is on TV again, she is so great, interviewed on national television!”
Xu Jiayin was indeed good, reaching such a point at such a young age, and her talent could not be underestimated. However, Luo Wenlang only glanced at the screen. “Not bad.”
Luo Wenlin was obviously dissatisfied with Luo Wenlang's answer, “Brother, even though Sister Xu is only a few years younger than you, but among her own age group, she is very kind!”
“The brother who brought you out today, his name is Gu Xiqiao. He's the top ranker of the year in the national final, and he's close to full marks compared to me, “ Luo Wenlang said, secretly laughing at the stunned expression on her brother's face and couldn't help but add further,” Not only that, the art competition that was last followed by Sister Xu, she also won it. Dozens of major media outlets wanted the opportunity to interview her, but she disagreed with none. ”
“She, she, she...!” Luo Wenlin stammered, before taking a deep breath to calm herself down, “How can she be better than you!”
Recalling how she told about Xu Jiayin in front of Gu Xiqiao today, her face flushed red, not knowing how to describe the shame she felt inside. Who knew how hard Gu Xiqiao laughed at him inside!
Luo Wenlin lamented, burying herself in bedsheets as disgrace spread through her.
Luo Wenlang stood to the side as he watched her, but his eyes were not focused on her, instead looking at her. He recalled the incident that afternoon, and instantly his entire face became grim. Making up her mind, she proceeded to drag Luo Wenlin down without a word, towards where there was an ATM machine. Because it was night, there were not many people around. He immediately inserted his card into the machine, entered his pin number and selected the balance display in his account.
After the balance was displayed, he pulled Luo Wenlin forward to let her see the amount. “Your sister has money now, if you dare to repeat what you said in the afternoon again, do not call me your brother again!”
No one could imagine the alarming panic that gripped her heart when she heard Luo Wenlin exclaim that she did not want any more treatment in the afternoon. He had spent the whole afternoon messing up some orders in his delivery job, and he was just lucky some girls didn't complain to the store manager. He was in such a state until the point when he received a call, where someone had offered to sign him for ten years, and was willing to pay him a down payment of one million in cash.
Luo Wenlang felt that he was in a dream, and he thought he must have misheard, thinking it must have been a mistake. But then a middle-aged man came into the store to look for him directly with the contract in hand, and in the next second there was a million transferred to his card.
He vaguely managed to ask her, and discovered that the person who helped him this time was Gu Xiqiao. He had ignored the pressure from Jing Capital, and once again pulled her.
He did not even manage to return 2,528.50 to her from last time. Now, that's a million.
He always gave her hope when she fell and was most desperate. If that was the case, then he would also do his best to help her!

Gu Xiqiao did not know that his move this time had managed to bind his best ally to his future. At this moment, he gave the jade accessory he had completed to Yin Shaoyuan to give to Tang Yanling.
Yin Jinian was the first to receive a jade ring from her son, and although she did not show much expression upon receiving it, the ring had never been detached from her finger ever since she wore it.
Tang Yanling was so satisfied with the gift that she did not take it off even when she slept. She bragged to everyone about her newly acquired goddaughter, Gu Xiqiao from the Gu family, that she was smart, talented, and also beautiful. He was truly a blessing born from the 500 years of prayer of their ancestors.
And there was another more interesting news, the Yin family will hold a banquet in honor of Gu Xiqiao on the seventh of June!
The banquet would be grand and grand, and the invitees would be personally chosen by Tang Yanling. This exerted tremendous pressure on the N City higher ups.
The Yin Family has always been humble. The last public banquet they held was for Master Yin's birthday, and it happened a few years ago. Compared to some other families that held banquets three to five times a year, the Yin family really did little to open the door to the public. This made every outsider curious as to what the Yin Manor looked like, unable to imagine how it looked on the inside.
This time, the Yin family held a banquet in their home, which made many people tremble in anticipation. The Yin Family was bound to invite all the big shots, being able to stop by would be a huge boost to their reputation, not to mention all the opportunities to network.
When Jiang Shuxuan heard Tang Yanling's words, he smiled lightly. He recalled the golden light that surrounded Gu Xiqiao, and thought, ‘This type of blessing can only be obtained once after every thousand years of praying.’
When the Gu family received the news, the regret they felt was all that mattered. Not to mention Master Gu, even Gu Zuhui was confused. He had struggled and was frustrated ever since that fall, and he treated Su Wan’er coldly, to the point that he even found a lover beside him. Su Wan’er could not be bothered with Gu Xijin during that time, tearing Gu Zuhui apart.

Gu Xiqiao was unaware of all this, as he was studying a set of acupuncture methods for Yin Guofu at the moment. From the first dinner he had done with them, he had noticed that there was a problem with Yin Guofu's right arm, and he was trying to figure out a way to fix it.
The spirit system could sell medicine to cure him immediately, but he did not accept it. The things he held with his own hands would be considered his.
That was the reason Gu Xiqiao spent several days reading the medical text in the void. There were medical books about reverse pulse needles, and he had spent some money to have someone make some gold needles as described in the book. He saw examples throughout the day and night, even moving plastic mannequins into the bedroom, using a gold needle he ordered to find acupoints on the mannequins.
In the end, even Madam Zhang knew that Gu Xiqiao no longer painted, and she had turned her gaze to biology. Since he didn't really understand all that, one day he mentioned it casually to Jiang Shuxuan.
Jiang Shuxuan could not stop Madam Zhang's chat, so he asked Gu Xiqiao the next day at breakfast. “I heard you studied the acupoints of the human body recently, is this any indication you are thinking about a career change to medicine?”
In Jiang Shuxuan's eyes, Gu Xiqiao's talent in oil painting was astonishing, and naturally it would be the thing he wanted to pursue, he said, so he brought it up casually without much meaning behind it. He assumed that Gu Xiqiao's study of the human body was just a matter of pleasure, and did not give much thought to it.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiqiao simply raised his head, answering with a short ‘ya’!
But even with him admitting that he was heading in that direction, Jiang Shuxuan considered it just a momentary curiosity for him. Once he hits the wall, he'll know to come back.
Although it seemed that he took the lessons seriously, bought book after book on the human meridians, and he studied them all carefully. The books were filled with his explanations and thoughts, and as he read the comments he wrote, a shocked expression appeared for the first time on his usually cold and indifferent face.
Putting the book back in its place without a word, Jiang Shuxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He walked into the room and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Raising fine eyebrows, he turned the door handle. Fortunately, he never had the habit of locking doors.
Inside the room, where the horses used to be, a mannequin had replaced it. Jiang Shuxuan had seen the mannequin before, but the last time he saw it, the mannequin was filled with acupuncture marks. The model in front of him today was clean, all the marks on it had been cleaned, and the person he was looking for was clearly absorbed in his work on the mannequin, the golden needles in his hands piercing the mannequin one after another. .
He had an expression of concentration on his face, his hand holding the needle in a way that was once unfamiliar and awkward, now proficient and confident as the needle was pulled out and stabbed again and again.
The slender figure was extremely graceful as her body was bathed in light coming from behind her, displaying an astonishing sight.
