Chapter 909: 907
Gu Huanhuan showed a puzzled expression; she had thought he would be very dejected, but seeing him now made her realize that her worries were unnecessary.
“What? Don’t believe me?” Wen Chi started the car.
“No, is there anything else you haven’t told me?” Gu Huanhuan pretended to speak with a huff.
“There isn’t much to say, just that you shouldn’t worry too much. Even if I’m currently unemployed and under suspension for investigation, I still have a source of income. You don’t need to worry, and you shouldn’t just keep taking roles desperately. Shoot only the plays that interest you and feel meaningful.” Wen Chi said lightly.
“Is there something you haven’t told me?” Gu Huanhuan suddenly felt she understood very little about Wen Chi.
“Well, I have a college classmate named Gao Jie. We are very good friends. He has a keen eye for investment and went to a wealth management company after graduation instead of becoming a doctor. After making some money, he started a company but ran into financial issues, so he asked me to invest and buy shares. At the time, I thought it was to help him through tough times, so I lent him the money. But he believed in his company’s prospects and let me invest for a 30% stake. The company’s performance was mediocre for the first few years, but this year it’s doing really well, and there are even plans to go public soon.”
Gu Huanhuan, upon hearing Wen Chi’s words, was stunned to the point of speechlessness. What kind of luck was this?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

So, does this mean Wen Chi is also a rich man now?
Gu Huanhuan felt it wasn’t very real. “Why are you only telling me this now?”
“Actually, I haven’t really looked into the company’s business. Every year, he directly transfers the dividends to my bank account. But a couple of days ago, he found out about the trouble I had at work, then he invited me back to the company as a vice president. I wouldn’t need to suffer and put up with others anymore. He told me the dividends alone are enough to last me a lifetime.” Wen Chi spoke truthfully.
Honestly, he was really shocked at the time. He never expected that his well-intentioned effort to help a friend would lead to such a result.
“So we are rich now?” Gu Huanhuan smiled like someone obsessed with money.
“Seems likely,” Wen Chi smiled back, “Gao Jie’s coming back next week; I’ll introduce you to him then.”
“Sure,” Gu Huanhuan sat in the car, her mood unsettled for a long time.
…..
Fame indeed invites trouble as fatness does for pigs. The variety show episode that Wen Chi had pre-recorded was finally broadcast. As expected, it created quite a stir immediately after airing, with everyone speculating whether Wen Chi was following his wife’s path in seeking to debut in the industry.
In the midst of the speculation, Gu Huanhuan released a statement clarifying that she was only attending the recording as an audience member.
However, everyone got a clear view of Wen Chi this time; his gentle scholar-like demeanor was extremely appealing.
During his time at home, Wen Chi was far from idle, often taking his daughter to visit sets.
Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Monday again. Right after Wen Chi dropped Gu Huanhuan off at her company, he suddenly received a call from Gao Jie.
“Buddy, long time no see. Where are you?” Gao Jie’s hearty voice came through the phone.
“I’m on my way home,” Wen Chi answered.
“I’m back. Let’s meet up for a get-together. I’ve got a surprise for you,” Gao Jie said mysteriously.
“What surprise?” Wen Chi asked with a frown, guessing by his style it’d be more of a shock than a pleasure.
“If I told you in advance, would it still be a surprise?” Gao Jie said, sounding annoyed. “Anyway, you decide for yourself.”
“Alright, see you tonight at the usual place.”
