Gu Wanrong chatted with Zhouzhou and Xiao Ai in the group chat while eating lunch. Seeing that Xiao Ai was still learning to drive, Gu Wanrong decided to sign up for driving lessons herself and get her driver’s license.
After lunch, Gu Wanrong returned home, lay on the sofa, and opened Weibo to check the comments on the unboxing video she had impulsively posted the day before.
She opened it to find 99+ notifications; it seemed to have become quite popular.
Upon opening Weibo, she saw 999+ comments, 999+ likes, and several hundred new followers.
Going to the video page, she saw over a thousand comments and over thirty thousand likes.
Gu Wanrong went into the comments section to see what the netizens were saying.
: This unboxing video is the most satisfying one I’ve ever seen.
: Help, what level of wealth am I at to be seeing this video?
: That Patek Philippe pearl bracelet watch costs 1.99 million.
: I heard there’s a rich woman here; I’m here to ask for support!
: The little cat is so cute, give it a kiss!
Most of the comments were like these, but there were a few negative ones as well.
: Buying a bunch of things without any taste.
: The nouveau riche’s aesthetic.
: I don’t like any of it… it’s so tacky.
Gu Wanrong read them and thought, I don’t care what others think; I like them. I bought them myself, and I’ll wear and use them myself; I don’t care if others like them or not.
She exited Weibo and started browsing short videos.
Her finger continuously swiped through video after video. Although Gu Wanrong told herself not to let the harsh comments on Weibo get to her, she was still angry and frustrated.
Ugh! I just like them, how are they tacky?!
She told herself not to get angry, not to think about it anymore, but the more she tried not to think, the more she thought. The more she told herself not to be angry, the angrier she got.
Gu Wanrong angrily went back to her bedroom to sleep. A nap would make her forget all about it!
After a one-hour nap, Gu Wanrong woke up feeling much better. She leaned against the headboard, reading a novel.
Then, Wang Laikang called.
“Hello, what is it?”
“Ms. Gu, your housekeeper is arranged and will arrive this afternoon.”
“Oh, okay, I’m home.”
Wang Laikang was quite efficient; he had said yesterday that he would arrange it, and he had already done so today. Not bad, not bad. Gu Wanrong praised him mentally after hanging up the phone.
Soon, the housekeeper arrived.
“Hello, Ms. Gu. I’m Zhang Xiufen, the housekeeper assigned to you,” Zhang Xiufen introduced herself, dressed neatly and cleanly. “I’m a local from City C, and I specialize in local City C cuisine, Western desserts, and Cantonese soups.”
“Aunt Xiu, you’ll be responsible for my three meals a day. I always eat breakfast. For lunch and dinner, I’ll often be out, so I’ll let you know in advance. And then there’s Nai Cha, my cat; you need to take care of her for me,” Gu Wanrong said as she led Zhang Xiufen into her room.
After showing Zhang Xiufen her own room, Gu Wanrong continued the tour of the other rooms. “My dressing room is always messy because I’m constantly buying things, so you’ll need to help me tidy it up.”
“Try to keep the windows closed; Nai Cha is very curious, and I’m afraid she’ll fall.”
After showing her the entire house, Gu Wanrong lay on the sofa to look for driving schools to sign up for driving lessons. She recalled seeing Wu Ai’ai mentioning that she was still learning to drive; Gu Wanrong remembered that she could drive, but she didn’t have a driver’s license in this life, and with half a month left until school started, she needed to get her license.
In the evening, after asking Gu Wanrong about her preferences, Zhang Xiufen prepared her first dinner at Gu Wanrong’s house with great effort.
After eating, Gu Wanrong acknowledged that Zhang Xiufen was indeed a top housekeeper from Guang Le Home Services, her cooking skills were amazing. If she hadn’t obtained Guang Le Home Services through the system and become its owner, she probably wouldn’t be able to hire such an excellent housekeeper.
After all, good housekeepers aren’t readily available on the market.
She then remembered the detailed information about Guang Le Home Services provided by the system.
Guang Le Home Services was previously a subsidiary of the An Group, a new company established two years ago when the An Group entered the housekeeping industry. Supported by the An Group, Guang Le Home Services had a good reputation and developed well, but its expenses exceeded its income, and it was predicted to become profitable after one year. Therefore, it was abandoned during the internal power struggle within the An Group.
Guang Le Home Services, which she got from the system, wasn’t profitable yet, meaning she needed to invest more funds.
It made sense; currently, she only had money and no other resources. She needed to invest more money and let Wang Laikang work hard. She decided to transfer funds to Guang Le Home Services’ account tomorrow.
Instructor Alma also sent her class schedule via WeChat.
Three classes a week: Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and Friday afternoon. Tomorrow was Tuesday, so she had to start her Pilates classes.
The next day, after having breakfast prepared by Aunt Xiu, Gu Wanrong went to Puya for her private Pilates lesson.
Alma, in real life, looked even younger and more energetic than in her profile picture; she was gentle, patient, and professional in teaching.
Gu Wanrong’s weight, which had been 110 jin when she first arrived in this world, had dropped to 95 jin after she increased her body attributes through the system.
Now she was considered thin, but her body was flabby and not very attractive.
Seeing Instructor Alma in tight workout clothes, her toned muscles and beautiful body curves, Gu Wanrong was envious.
If she relied on the system to increase her attributes to achieve Alma’s perfect figure, she didn’t know how long it would take. It was better to train with Alma to shape her figure.
So Gu Wanrong told Alma about her desire to achieve a figure like hers and decided to train with Alma first.
After carefully examining Gu Wanrong’s entire body and pinching her flesh, Alma tailored a training program for her.
After the morning Pilates class, Gu Wanrong felt that her money was well spent. Puya was indeed a successful Pilates studio that remained popular even four years later; it relied on its professional teachers’ good reputation.
Before leaving, Alma reminded Gu Wanrong that Pilates doesn’t have dietary restrictions, but she shouldn’t overeat because she’s tired.
Returning home for lunch, Gu Wanrong enjoyed Aunt Xiu’s delicious meal, thinking, Thank goodness Alma mentioned that overeating is bad, or I would have eaten myself full today.
After resting, Gu Wanrong transferred 100 million yuan to Guang Le Home Services’ account; it was something she’d planned to do today.
“【Huaxia Bank】Bao Fu transferred 100,000,000 yuan to your account ending in 6688. Please check.”
200 million? Shouldn’t it be 500 million?
Gu Wanrong opened her system panel again and found that her system mall shopping amount was still 141 points, unchanged, and her blind box draw chances remained at 3.
“System, is there a bug? The rebate was wrong, and it wasn’t converted into shopping points or blind box draw chances.”
[Host, the Wealth System 6688 added new rules after the previous update: loans, gifts, and investments are doubled, but they don’t count toward the system mall purchase amount or blind box draw chances.]
Oh, it seems it was my fault.
After the system update, the rules hadn’t changed much, so Gu Wanrong only glanced over them and missed the new rules.
“System, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have questioned you.” Since her transmigration, she’s become more beautiful and has money to spend, all thanks to the system. Gu Wanrong felt apologetic for questioning the system without understanding the situation first.
[It’s alright.]
At that moment, Wang Laikang called.
“Ms. Gu, the finance department notified me that you transferred 100 million yuan to the company’s account. Do you have any instructions?”
“When I acquired the company, I understood that Guang Le Home Services lacks financial support, so I transferred 100 million to the company account today,” Gu Wanrong said after answering the phone. “How long will 100 million last for Guang Le Home Services?”
“100 million is planned to last for a year; the company will become profitable after a year,” Wang Laikang immediately looked up the financial report and reported it to Gu Wanrong.
“Send me the financial report. I’ll transfer another 100 million to the company account. Be generous with employee training and increase employee benefits.” Hearing that 100 million would barely be enough, Gu Wanrong decided to transfer another 50 million; then, remembering that she was also a worker in her past life, she decided to improve the benefits for her employees and transferred an additional 50 million.
With Guang Le Home Services taken care of, Gu Wanrong went out to take a taxi to the driving school to sign up for lessons.
In the evening, she went out shopping with Wu Ai’ai and Zhou Siyin, telling Aunt Xiu that she wouldn’t be home for dinner.
