“Sister Wanshi, shouldn’t we come up with a new name for the club?” Zhao Jie asked eagerly.
“Good point.” Gu Wanshi nodded.
She hadn’t bought the rights to the club’s old name, and even if she had, the players probably wouldn’t have wanted to keep using it anyway.
After discussing it with the players, Gu Wanshi decided to name the club “Far Journey.”
Most other gaming clubs and teams had names in English or letters, but Gu Wanshi thought “Far Journey Club” and “Far Journey Team” sounded good, she also hoped these kids could keep going further and further down the path they loved, all the way to international competitions, bringing honor to their country.
The quest that had just finished earned Gu Wanshi a twentyfold rebate, a full hundred million.
While the computer store staff were delivering the computers and setting them up with the players, Gu Wanshi went online and hired a housekeeper to handle cooking and cleaning.
The housekeeper arrived quickly, and after chatting with her for a bit, Gu Wanshi felt good about her, so she signed a contract on the spot, having her come every day for ten thousand a month.
Afterward, she got Zhao Jie’s mobile payment account and transferred one million into it.
“Sister Wanshi, what’s this for?” Zhao Jie asked, startled.
“Take the team to buy daily necessities, bedding, and things like that. The second floor is all bedrooms, you can divide them up yourselves,” Gu Wanshi said. “Buy the good stuff, don’t worry about saving money for me. Also, the housekeeper’s grocery money should come out of this too, I’ve already told her to make sure meals are balanced with both meat and vegetables, proper nutrition. If the money runs short, just come to me.”
Zhao Jie was the team captain and Zhao Tong’s younger brother, someone reliable, so Gu Wanshi entrusted the money to him.
Hearing this, Zhao Jie’s eyes welled up with emotion.
He’d never imagined he’d meet such a wonderful boss in his lifetime!
And the boss was entrusting him with money to manage, didn’t that show just how much trust she had in him?
He would definitely lead the team to train hard and achieve real results to show his boss!
“Oh right, there’s also the coach, I need to find you all a reliable coach. It might take a few days, so train on your own for now, I’ll get to it as soon as I can,” Gu Wanshi said.
“Got it, Sister Wanshi.”
After getting the players settled, Gu Wanshi and Zhao Tong headed home.
Sitting in the car, Zhao Tong spoke up gratefully, “Boss, I never got the chance to properly thank you today… if you hadn’t bought the club, who knows what would have happened to my brother and the others.”
“It’s nothing.” Gu Wanshi waved a hand. “I’m just a bit tired from running around all day. I think I need to hire an assistant too.”
Although Zhao Tong could help with some things, she was, after all, a personal bodyguard who needed to stay by her side at all times.
If she hired an assistant, then for some errands, she could just have the assistant handle them instead.
Just as Gu Wanshi was about to ask Gu Wanhe for help, she suddenly noticed Gu Wanhe had already sent her a message.
It was a document.
Gu Wanshi opened it and found it was actually Gu Corporation’s latest quarterly financial report.
The financial information about Gu Corporation in it was extremely thorough.
Gu Wanshi smiled a little.
Gu Wanhe really was reliable, just as she’d expected.
Since that was the case, she’d make sure to follow through on what she’d promised Gu Wanhe too.
After mentioning she needed to find an assistant, Gu Wanhe immediately said it wasn’t a problem, and that she’d help look for candidates in the coming days.
Setting down her phone, Gu Wanshi remembered she still had two lottery draws left, so she had the system activate them.
“Lottery activated. Congratulations, host, you’ve received ten points to appearance, and gained the ‘Gaming Genius’ skill.”
With this, Gu Wanshi’s appearance score had reached ninety points.
And, Gaming Genius?
“System, I just bought a gaming club, and now I draw the Gaming Genius skill? Are you pulling strings for me here?”
“Host, you’re overthinking this,” the system said solemnly. “This system never plays favorites, this is simply the host’s own luck.”
“I suppose that’s true too. Bound to a system as amazing as you, how could my luck be bad?”
Gu Wanshi took out her phone and looked at her current appearance.
Her current look was already quite similar to her past life’s.
With this face of hers now, if she casually posted a photo online, she’d instantly gain a huge wave of fans obsessed with her looks.
Gu Wanshi wasn’t even sure what standard the system used to score appearance.
She already looked this good, and it was only ninety points, what would she look like once she hit a hundred?
Soon, the evening of the dinner Mu Anqian had invited her to arrived.
Gu Wanshi picked out a light blue dress, the hem falling just to her knees, showing off her long, jade-like legs.
She also wore a Tiffany diamond necklace, which made her swan-like neck look even more elegant and fair.
Paired with the curled hairstyle she’d just gotten done that afternoon and silver high heels, the whole look made her appear as graceful and noble as a queen.
The moment she stepped out of her room, she nearly left Zhao Tong stunned.
Even with just light makeup, she was still this beautiful!
“Boss, you’re way too gorgeous!” Zhao Tong exclaimed.
Gu Wanshi smiled and said, “Well, I did agree to have dinner with them, and there’ll be an elder present too, so dressing up a bit is only a matter of respect.”
Watching such a beautiful Gu Wanshi, Zhao Tong’s protective instincts surged.
She was determined to be the most loyal guardian, anyone who wanted to touch Gu Wanshi would have to get through her first!
As the appointed time drew near, the two of them quickly got in the car and arrived at the entrance of Drunken Sea and Clouds.
Sure enough, Mu Anqian was already waiting outside the restaurant.
“Wanshi, you’re here!” Mu Anqian affectionately looped her arm through Gu Wanshi’s. “You look so pretty today!”
“So do you.” A flash of admiration crossed Gu Wanshi’s eyes.
Indeed, Mu Anqian’s appearance score was quite high too, Gu Wanshi figured she surely met the system’s spending standard.
“Hehe… my grandma’s already waiting for us in the private room. She wanted to come out and wait for you herself, but since she just recovered, I didn’t let her.”
“You all don’t need to be so polite about this,” Gu Wanshi said, half laughing, half exasperated. “It really was just a small effort on my part that day.”
“Whether it was a small effort to you or not, to us it’s a life-saving act of kindness!” Mu Anqian said firmly. “From now on, you’re my good friend! Anyone who crosses you is crossing me, no, crossing the entire Mu family!”
Hearing this, honestly, it felt quite good.
It gave Gu Wanshi an overwhelming sense of security.
“I just called my older brother, he’ll be here shortly too.”
“Okay.”
They walked into the restaurant and headed up to the second floor.
Gu Wanshi didn’t expect to run into Gu Lianghui and Yin Jingyun here today of all places.
The moment they saw her, the two of them froze for a moment, then walked over, their faces darkening.
“What is wrong with you? You won’t come home, you don’t answer your phone, what exactly have you been up to out there?” Yin Jingyun launched straight into scolding her.
Gu Wanshi’s good mood for the entire day ended right at that moment.
