15 - Summon the rich to dote on me

Gu Han sat at the entrance of his home with his mobile phone, giving up [medical] treatment to look up at the starry sky, resembling that of a mental patient with an artist’s aura.

Upstairs, the little quail was sleeping like an Eight Treasure Intoxicated Duck [1] ; he’s impossible to wake up. Now it was only nine hours left before the end of the system task.

Boss Gu thought himself quite awesome that he actually seriously made a choice between “dying at the age of 28” and “becoming an alpaca” as if he was to choose whether to wear Armani or Givenchy in the morning. Argh, it’s really damn irritating!

Right now, let alone Aladdin’s magic lamp was the same as giving him a Magical Lotus Lantern [2] , he couldn’t even make a decision between these two miraculous wishes. You think highly of me damn much! I thank you for eight generations!

Sat until the dark clouds covered the moon and the night wind was getting cold, Gu Han sent a message to his assistant and then looked up to the sky while holding his breath before he shouted out an unsurpassed wretched word: “No!”

In a flash, dogs barked all around in Bolin Road, especially a husky constantly ‘whined’ for a long time. The moonlight was truly beautiful….

The next day, Pei Xian, who was drunk into a puddle, didn’t get up until 11 o’clock. He went downstairs dizzily and halfway through, he felt something amiss.

The living room was turned into a spacious area. The European sofa sets were pushed to one side and there was an inexplicably extra ring of fence. Inside the fence was covered with licorice roots. A one meter and some tall Alpaca with cloud-like fur was staring at him motionless with its big black eyes and long, dense eyelashes.

“…..” Pei Xian thought he was sleepwalking and bowed to the alpaca before he turned around and went upstairs. “I’m sorry to have disturbed you.”

“Young Master Pei, come down and have a bowl of porridge. It’s already eleven o’clock.” When the old butler saw that Pei Xian was going to sleep back, he quickly stopped him.

Pei Xian, as if woke up from a dream, pointed straight at his Alpaca with his head askew, “Who is it? When did it come?”

The old butler was a little confused. “Eh? When young master left, he said that this alpaca was your request to him last night.”

"

"

It’s not worth to make public of drinking a 15% (ABV) wine until lost consciousness.

Pei Xian had no choice but to recognize the gift as he earnestly pretended to be great, “Oh…. I thought I want a coffee color?”

“Oh, then it was young master’s mistake? Why don’t you call him to see if you can change it?” The old butler made a serious suggestion.

Pei Xian walked to the alpaca and touched it with great care. It’s hairy, soft and felt nice.

The level 200k pet Mini Alpaca was as clean as a wad of cotton, obediently let other people kneaded it.

“Young master also said that he asked you to give it a name. It will be in your charge later.” The old butler asked the aunt to fix up the porridge simply and added another sentence.

This was the first time Gu Han had gifted him a living thing. Hn…. truly an extraordinary hobby.

“Its surname is Gu and it’s an alpaca [cǎo ní mǎ], so then it’s called Gu Caocao.” Pei Xian announced happily in the living room.

The butler and aunt were silent: Though… There seems to be something wrong with it.

In the afternoon, Gu Han, who was always on tenterhooks, suddenly received the energy reward from the system. Now he had four units of energy!

Dark clouds swept away to reveal a stretch of cloudless blue skies. Boss Gu decided to skip work again to go home to pay respect and thank the alpaca!

After an afternoon of running-in, Gu Caocao had become familiar with the situation at home without the fences. It was a highly trained and high-quality pet alpaca, which was very suitable for home rearing.

“What’s the name of this thing again?” Gu Han looked at the too-happy-to-think-of-home-and-duty Pei Xian, who was hugging the alpaca, with a hard-to-believe expression.

Pei Xian deeply buried his face in the white fluffy alpaca fur as he giggled, “It’s called Gu Caocao.”

“No, why is your alpaca surnamed after me?” Gu Han was driven a little mad.

Pei Xian sat up straight and raised his chin seriously, “Because you paid for it. If not your surname then who’s?”

“Look here, I spent money to hire you, why don’t you surname Gu?” Gu Han scrapped his small chin as he retorted.

Pei Xian nodded like a chick pecking on rice, “Sure, already thought of a name with surname Gu, my name is Gu Weisu [3] .”

“…..” Gu Han was speechless. What can you do with a bare ass wolf with audacity and shamelessness?

Thus, the little alpaca was officially named Gu Caocao. Gu Han suddenly felt a sense of fear after he had been forced.

Ever since Gu Caocao came into Pei Xian’s routine norm, he began to get up early and show off his little alpaca everywhere.

In the morning, one could often catch sight of a well-ironed suited Gu Han leading a casual clothed Pei Xian pulling a cotton ball Gu Caocao to walk along the footpath in the villa area, with a Rolls Royce slowly driving like an old donkey dragging a grindstone.

In the afternoon of an invigorating autumn climate, Pei Xian prepared a bag of fruit and vegetable strips to take Gu Caocao to stroll around the surrounding area.

Bolin Road could be called the paradise of the city center. It was surrounded by green shade, quiet and private. There was a central shopping pedestrian street lined with luxury brands and designer brands across the road from the villa area.

"

"

Pei Xian was living like a koala, that whatever he did was exasperatingly slow. He more preferred the unrestrained natural scenery and was not interested in the monstrous and multicolored, dazzling with paper and gold world of sensual pleasures.

Today, he went out for the sake of Gu Caocao. In any case, it was a bigshot alpaca, whose dad worth 10 billion yuan. It was not too young, it was time to go out and see the world.

Pei Xian used the traction rope to pull the beautiful alpaca and it caused a commotion on the street. His lovely and sweet look did not lose to a celebrity; meanwhile, Gu Caocao was the best quality of beautiful alpaca carefully selected from thousands of young alpacas. To round it up, the two celebrities went window-shopping hand in hand. Many young girls crazily held up their mobile phones to take pictures of them. Even some talent scouts handed over their business cards.

Gu Caocao, who was not used to the luxury life, felt a bit restless. It tried to hide at the bottom of the wall. Pei Xian took out a carrot bar to comfort it as he guided it to get into the central shopping pedestrian street.

On weekdays, the bazaar was a bit desolate. The outdoor patio was decorated with luxurious booths, all decorated with crystal. Under the sun, it radiated dazzling brilliance; it was precisely the domestic famous jewelry brand IK.

Xiao Yuhang’s advertisement as the brand ambassador was playing on the giant screen. He was really suitable for these shining and dazzling jewelries. Although men still could wear gorgeous jewelry, there was a kind of reverse aesthetic feeling.

Pei Xian picked up the carrot and put it in his mouth. It’s no wonder Gu Han couldn’t stop lapping [at his picture], this face could make one sick at heart!

The ignorant Gu Caocao watched him ate its snacks and could only grievously bowed its head to lick his hand.

It seemed that the exhibitors especially like Xiao Yuhang. After the advertisement, Xiao Yuhang’s latest program was broadcasted. If one looked carefully, one could see that he was wearing IK bracelet.

This was a hot topic emotional program. Xiao Yuhang was asked what was the most satisfying thing in his recent emotional life.

Xiao Yuhang took out a planning draft with a smile of indifference and propriety. “This was just delivered by him before the program, and I was also very surprised. It was exactly the day at a drinking party with many people, I just mentioned a bit that I was going to open a gallery, and then I received this.”

The host took the refined draft binder, “Wow! It’s really made careful. It’s full of notes. Oh, so enviable! There are also shop prices in Haiguang Street, super expensive, is this for a buy or rent? Maybe tens of millions, why are there tears in my eyes?”

“That’s how detailed he is.” Xiao Yuhang was very good at purifying superiority in a few words.

Everyone knew his and Gu Han’s affairs tacitly. They could only envy other people’s beautiful life. The all-powerful Golden Buddha in the world of business only took one scoop out of three thousand inferior waters, blessed after ten years of trials and hardships, what else could they do besides feeling sour?

Ah people, they looked bright and beautiful outwardly, but in fact, they lose their teeth and swallowed blood.

The planning, idea draft was indeed sent by Gu Han, but he didn’t even mention a dime, so he really did “help you with some advices”.

Xiao Yuhang nearly angered to vomit blood! Before, as long as he looked at something a bit longer, Gu Han could put it in front of him the next day, eagerly attentive as if money was shot by a slingshot.

Now, it’s clearly implied the lack of grabbing collar to shake him (GH), will you die if you give me some small money? The other side was indifferent that he almost suspected that Gu Han went bankrupt? But the grand land project had made a great success, the industry leaders admired him and the stock price of the company had been rising.

Xiao Yuhang was so depressed that he couldn’t sleep. After taking sleeping pills for a week, he still had to support Gu Han’s Prince Charming image, he could not bow and was afraid to lose.

At the same time, Gu Han’s behavior was also very strange. In addition to pretending to be stupid and unable to understand someone who asked for money and resources, he also collected all the other bundles of hype photo. The interaction between the two was also a combination of sugarcoated and artillery shells, in no way giving Prince Charming to drop the ball.

Xiao Yuhang had a hard time to talk. So angry ah!

Pei Xian didn’t know the inside story. When he heard that Gu Han wanted to buy Xiao Yuhang tens of millions worth of property, his heart soured, he ate the carrot and began to eat the cucumber, making “ka-ka” echoes.

Gu Caocao whirled around anxiously, propped up its long neck to nip his sleeve and dragged it down. The bigshot alpaca was tired of stuttering.

“Gu Caocao, can’t you get a bit angry? Your billions of property are going to be hollowed out by someone, but you only think to eat!” Pei Xian ate the last cucumber strip of Gu Caocao while not knowing who he was scolding.

Pei Xian’s sour eyes were dripping blood. He had to work two jobs to get 40 million yuan in a year but Xiao Yuhang had only talked about opening a gallery and a few tens of millions were gone? Fcuk, the gap is too far away to strike!

In addition, Xiao Yuhang came back a lot earlier than initially mentioned in the book. According to this, without Zhou Kai destroying Gu Han, Boss Gu’s little money would have to be wiped out by his ants!

Pei Xian touched the black and gold supplementary card in his pocket. Didn’t Xiao Yuhang love to show being doted on? Har har, this young master decided to spend Gu Han’s money to show off his wealth! Let’s see which of us two can spend all the money of Gu Boss first!

Poor Gu Han who knew nothing about it, worked hard to make money, yet he was about to be stripped to his underpants by the two hungry wolves that he kept thinking about.

When Pei Xian was overwhelmed with planning to spend money for great cause, the beautiful sale woman at the booth leisurely came to him without a tiny bit of smile, “I’m sorry, sir, but there are all the fragile and high priced accessories displayed here. Please pull the animal away to avoid collision.”

Pei Xian looked young in his brand-free customized clothes, carrying a bag of carrot and brought along a little alpaca like a donkey, it’s really not very impressive.

“Pets are allowed in the mall. It is specially trained and has a companion certificate. It won’t run around.” Pei Xian was very polite as he pointed to the sign “Pets Are Allowed” at the entrance.

In fact, the hauling rope had shrunk so short that Gu Caocao could only rotate around him.

The sale woman was obviously unhappy. “Don’t you understand what I’m talking about? I’m doing this for your own good. In case something here is damaged, you can’t afford to pay for it. I said it, do you understand?”

Every time your mouth opened, your attitude is extremely bad and impolite. Pei Xian frowned slightly.

Suddenly from the sales counter came another round faced, bun style-haired young beautiful woman, who ran straight to Pei Xian to break the awkwardness. “Excuse me, would you like to go to our IK sales counter to have a look?”

“There are so many things. After you finished, how much commission can you get from his buying?” The previous sales woman turned angry.

Was about to leave, Pei Xian turned around slowly and pointed to a set of diamond accessory on the exhibition booth and asked the young beauty, “How much can you be commission if I buy this set?”

“It-it-it is a lot but I haven’t calculated.” The young beauty never thought that she could sell a limited edition and so she could not give an answer, she blushed.

Pei Xian led Gu Caocao leisurely and carefree to the most dazzling sapphire diamond pendant necklace in the middle, “Is this the most expensive?”

The young beauty didn’t take him seriously, but she still introduced it enthusiastically: “This is the similar customized version worn by Xiao Yuhang. There are Xiao Yuhang’s love words and signature inside the case, which is our main customization this season.”

Pei Xian’s eyelids didn’t even lift as he fished out the black and gold card and handed it over, “This one, swipe the card.”

“Okay, I’ll swipe the card for you. Just a moment.” The young beauty was a little dizzy as she took over the black and gold card and quickly ran to bill.

The previous sales woman missed a few hundred thousand worth sales and her eyeballs almost dropped down as she crumbled. She stood aside, bowing and scraping, not daring to move forward.

“Come here.” Pei Xian’s face was cold. “Take out the necklace and try it on.”

“Okay, just a moment.” The sales woman compliantly opened the cabinet to get the displayed item and took it in most respectful attitude as she went to help him try it on.

Pei Xian lightly opened his thin lips and pointed to Gu Caocao, “Not me, it.”

The sales woman was struck dumb and had to fawningly smile as she put on the necklace for the obedient Gu Caocao.

Pei Xian held up his mobile phone with and one hand in his pocket. “Smile.”

The sales woman opened her glossy red lips and smiled with all eight teeth out.

“Not you, I’m talking to my alpaca.” Pei Xian clicked the button with “kacha”.

Pei Xian found a Weibo trumpet [4] and cleared all the content before he uploaded the headshot of Gu Caocao’s flourishing beautiful face.

Brief introduction: The world’s most good-looking child [5] , my dad worth 10 billion!

The first Weibo upload was a head of white and fluffy alpaca with a few hundred thousand worth of Xiao Yuhang’s sapphire necklace hanging around its neck, lifting its noble and unrivalled neck while a sales woman was serving it with a flattering smile.

From today on, it was the beginning of Gu Caocao covering the sky to start a career!

The author has something to say:

Gu Han vs Xiao Yuhang: You are the best! You are the best! You are the best! Smooch , how vulgar it is to talk about money ah!

Gu Han vs Pei Xian: Do you want money? Do you want any more money? Is the money enough? Spend the money to your heart’s content!
