At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Pang Linlin and Lin Xin had a long heart-to-heart that afternoon.

After eating dinner at the school cafeteria, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue came back to their apartment.

Laosi and his crew were sitting on the sofa playing Honor, four people with a random player as the jungler losing four games in a row.

"Damn it, are the four of you teaming up to lose points?"

Hysterical cursing from the random jungler came through the voice chat, followed by the game's loss announcement.

"Uh…"

The guys looked embarrassed as Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue just walked in the door.

"Pfft…" Lin Xinyue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The others couldn't help laughing either, laughing at their own lousy skills.

"Ah! What a comfortable day~"

Boss Pu stretched lazily, they had been working late every day recently, and they finally had a leisurely weekend.

As soon as Lin Xinyue sat down, she pulled out her phone to organize the financial statements and check the company's account funds.

According to her calculations, at least one million yuan had been spent by the company on the series of meetups as ideal support funds.

Originally, the company's books showed a remaining balance of over seven million yuan, so after this one million was spent, there should have been six million left.

But when she checked the account, she was stunned.

"One digit, two digits… eight digits!"

She covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes shocked at the company account balance.

"What's up?" Gu Yu asked, puzzled.

The others, curious, gathered around as well.

Lin Xinyue didn't speak, just pointed at the account balance on the phone to show them.

As soon as Gu Yu saw it, he immediately understood what had happened.

The system's capital injection had finally been discovered.

Boss Pu and the others went insane!

"Holy shit! Eight digits, over fifty million! Where did that come from? Where did our company get so much money?"

"Could it be Shengda Game has made another deposit to us?"

"No way, right? Isn't the emulator not generating much income anymore? This money can't possibly be from Shengda!"

"And it's not even the next settlement period yet!"

"..."

Their pupils dilated, and they were abuzz with various speculations.

This really was more money than they had ever seen in their lives!

Fifty million!

If divided among the five people in the company, each person would get ten million!

Ten million would buy a house and a good life in Modu!

"Could this be money laundering?" Lin Xinyue frowned deeply, suggesting a possibility.

After all, it was not uncommon these days to launder money through a company account.

But to do it so brazenly, laundering fifty million at once.

Aren't they afraid of getting caught!

The key point was that she had already discovered it!

Seeing Lin Xinyue's guess, the expressions of the others turned pale.

Money laundering?

Laundering fifty million? Does that mean they all have to go to jail for economic crimes?

"Damn it! Are we being framed?"

"His grandma's! Which bastard saw how well Ideal Paradise is doing and decided to play dirty!"

"Shall we call the police? Let them investigate!"

"We don't really know about this stuff, we could probably get leniency by coming clean!"

They cursed and prepared to turn themselves in.

Lin Xinyue also got up, ready to go to the Economic Investigation Bureau to report, when she suddenly saw Gu Yu sitting to one side with a somewhat strange expression.

From the start, when fifty million appeared in the account, Gu Yu had been very calm.

He had even subtly moved to the side.

Now, seeing that they were about to report, he still seemed indifferent.

So, could it be…

"Yu! Out with it! Where did this money come from?"

Lin Xinyue grabbed Gu Yu by the neck, twitching his eyes upward.

Boss Pu and the others immediately realized that it must be related to Laosi.

So each of them grabbed an arm or a leg of Gu Yu and dragged him tightly, interrogating him, "Confess for leniency, resist for severity! Laosi, where did this money come from, tell the truth!"

Gu Yu had intended to keep them guessing, but with everyone handling him like this, he had no choice.

"I had to cry out loudly, 'Mine! It's all my fault! This money is indeed related to me!'"

When everyone heard this, as expected, instead of letting go, they pulled even harder.

Gu Yu felt like he was almost being torn apart by five people, so he hurriedly continued to confess, "This money is from my family behind the scenes!"

"Didn't I tell you before? The initial one hundred thousand was for starting my business, and now that our company is doing so well, they sent another sum of money!"

Gu Yu could hardly catch his breath, and his words came in bursts.

Lin Xinyue quickly let go of his neck, and when the others heard the situation, they also released their grips.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Yu finally got relief, twisted his neck a bit, and moved his limbs around, feeling much better.

But as soon as he looked up, he met the fierce gazes of four people.

"Xinyue, are you trying to murder your own husband?" Gu Yu rubbed his neck, that squeeze nearly knocked the life out of him!

"Fifty million! The initial one hundred thousand was one thing, but your family sent fifty million all at once?"

"Oh my God! Laosi, just how rich is your family?"

"Damn it! Why even bother trying so hard! Just a bit of that spare change and we'd never have to worry about food or drink again!"

Shocked beyond measure were Boss Pu and the other two.

Fifty million just like that, what kind of family was this?

Wang Shicong was probably like this, right?

Could it be that Laosi's real identity was Wang Shicong's brother?

But he had never heard of Wang Shicong having a brother!

After lots of guessing, Gu Yu knew what they were thinking, rolled his eyes, and said, "Don't worry! It's clean money! I won't go to prison, and I'm not some illegitimate child."

"This money, although plentiful, comes with strings attached—it can only be used for company expenses!"

"You all know that Ideal Paradise, although somewhat successful, doesn't have a complete corporate structure yet."

"Like Xinyue, handling both business and financial management, playing several roles at once! We can't continue like this."

"The company needs to expand, so my family sent the money mainly for this purpose!"

Gu Yu explained all about the origin of the money and its intended use in one breath.

The others fell into silence.

Indeed, although the money might seem a lot, it was probably just a drop in the ocean for Laosi's family behind him.

They did this, actually to see how big Laosi could grow Ideal Paradise.

"Still training, Laosi?"

Qin Shan asked Gu Yu randomly.

Gu Yu was startled for a moment, then awkwardly nodded, "Yes, it's still my family's way of testing me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

"Man, so much money, so much pressure! I can't even think of how to spend it all."

"Fifty million! How many 3080 graphics cards could you buy with that!"

"Fifty million all on graphics cards—are you planning to open a bitcoin mine???"

The group lightened up with joking to ease the excitement they had just felt due to the huge sum of money.

After calming down for a while, everyone finally settled, and Gu Yu, seeing that they were no longer talking about the money, smiled lightly, "Next, we should expand, recruit people!"

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

Yu Shutong then took the lead in nodding, "Indeed, we need to expand now."

"If we want to continue developing, we can't keep doing only simulators and Divine Dragon type of casual games."

"Only by moving to larger games can we have a real chance to penetrate the gaming market deeply!"

Yu Shutong expressed the same opinion as Gu Yu.

He was already determined to be the future general manager of the company's gaming department, of course, he wanted as many developers under him as possible.

Gu Yu thought for a moment, then smiled, "Alright, then I'll leave the recruitment to Yuer."

"After all, other departments in the company haven't been established yet, and for now, we only have gaming products."

Boss Pu and Qin Shan also nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's talk about recruitment tomorrow! We should rest now, right?"

Gu Yu clapped his hands to end the meeting.

This unexpected meeting had ended more smoothly than he had imagined.

"Good night."

Lin Xinyue, who had been silent, suddenly said good night, then lowered her head and left.

Gu Yu was stunned for a few seconds, noticed her pale complexion, and hurriedly followed her out.

As Lin Xinyue just entered the elevator, not knowing where she was headed.

Gu Yu watched as the elevator stopped at the 11th floor, his heart skipped a beat.

"What is Xinyue up to?"

He frantically pressed the elevator button.
