Chapter 334: Saved 5 Million at Age 25?
After a period of turbulence, the plane landed smoothly at Modu's Hongqiao Airport.
Gu Yu, who had already known Boss Pu's schedule in advance, had been waiting in the airport's underground parking lot ten minutes early.
Within those ten minutes, Gu Yu encountered at least ten beautiful girls approaching him to strike up a conversation, as well as some who looked like the rich women of Modu.
However, he rejected them all.
Left with no choice, he could only raise the car window and then leisurely listen to music inside the car.
While listening to music, he browsed the System Mall's marriage proposal packages.
"Romantic Fireworks Half-Hour Package, limited time only for 99999 Check-in Points!"
As he was looking, suddenly a system pop-up appeared in front of him.
He waved his hand dismissively, "Don't want it!"
One hundred thousand Check-in Points, he wasn't that resentful, and besides, the last time that fireworks feast had swindled him terribly.
He hadn't even settled the debt yet!
"Marriage Proposal Professional Bridal Supporters Package, Fifty People, give your lover the feeling of being the center of attention when you propose! Discount price: 6666 Check-in Points!"
"..."
Gu Yu was speechless, thinking the system really knew how to do business with these relentless advertisement pop-ups.
But!
If it's over a thousand Check-in Points, then there's no room for discussion. Let the system recommend whatever, and if he bought one, he'd consider it a loss.
After he consecutively rejected five or six ads, the system finally gave up.

It also popped up an emoticon pack in front of him, featuring a robot with a finger pointed up, next to the graphic were two characters: Koubi.
But Gu Yu had long figured out the system's scheme, which was to drain all the Check-in Points in his pocket.
The problem was he still needed to keep 500,000 Check-in Points as a lifeline.
Although he had accrued quite a few Check-in Points during his time at the company, he still didn't dare to be too extravagant with them.
"A small-scale romantic fireworks display, complete with three boys and three girls bearing flowers as a gift, and all for just 666 Check-in Points!"
Gu Yu finally found a relatively cheap marriage proposal set as he scrolled down in the hidden corners of the System Mall's merchandise list.
More than 600 Check-in Points, he could still afford that.
He casually selected to purchase it.
Just as he was about to check the details of the package, he saw a familiar figure walking towards his car from behind— it was Boss Pu.
Only, Boss Pu's walk seemed somewhat listless, as if he had encountered something unpleasant during his trip.
Boss Pu walked up to the car, tapped on Gu Yu's window, and Gu Yu lowered the window and then unlocked the rear safety lock.
It wasn't that he didn't want Boss Pu to sit in the passenger seat, but the passenger seat was covered with stickers that Lin Xinyue had previously put there, and he was worried Boss Pu might accidentally scrape some stickers off.
Now, his relationship with Lin Xinyue was still in a cold war phase, and he definitely didn't want to add more trouble.
Boss Pu knew this as well, so without a second thought, he took a seat in the back of the car.
Gu Yu saw through the rearview mirror that Boss Pu did not look too well, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes betrayed some desolation.
Based on their four years of companionship, Gu Yu knew that something was definitely on Boss Pu's mind.
Gu Yu also took a glance at the backseat but did not spot another person, Hu Xiaoya.
"Speaking of which, Boss, weren't you supposed to visit Ya's parents with her? How come you're back by yourself?"
Gu Yu asked this curiously as he signaled to turn left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked, Boss Pu let out a heavy sigh.
"Ah, don't bring it up. My trip to meet Ya's parents didn't go well."
Now, the very thought of the conditions set by Hu Xiaoya's parents made Pu Tongren's head ache.
Although their demands weren't unreasonable, they were quite troubling for him right now, especially financially, which was something he simply couldn't resolve at the moment.
"What happened? I think both of you are really compatible, and with your qualifications, and comparing your family's status to Ya's, your family should be pretty well off!"
"Ya's parents shouldn't have any reason to make things difficult for you, right?"
Gu Yu looked at Boss Pu through the rearview mirror.
He thought Boss Pu would nod, but instead, Boss Pu sighed deeply again.
"Ah, it's not that simple. This trip has dealt me quite a blow, and Ya won't be able to return to the company for the time being; her parents have kept her at home."
Boss Pu intertwined his fingers, looking even more conflicted than before, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Gu Yu eagerly urged, "Just tell me straight, Boss! What problem did you encounter that I can help you with?"
For Boss's lifelong happiness, no matter what it cost, he was determined to help Boss Pu and Hu Xiaoya be together.
Besides Lin Xinyue, the only other thing on his mind now was his buddies.
'We promised not to forget each other in prosperity,' and he wasn't about to take that lightly.
Hearing Gu Yu say this, Pu Tongren finally made up his mind to reveal his trouble, but instead of stating it outright, he asked Gu Yu indirectly, "Laosi, do you think a guy can really have savings of 5 million by the age of 25?"
"Ah?" Hearing Boss Pu suddenly say such a thing, Gu Yu was startled, almost forgetting to steer the wheel.
Thankfully, he reacted in time and avoided hitting the vehicle that was merging into the lane next to him.
Once he stabilized the car, he pondered seriously over this seemingly absurd question before finally nodding his head.
"I think it's not impossible, but for the vast majority, 99.999% of guys, it's highly unlikely."
Gu Yu did not dismiss Boss Pu's question outright but chose a more moderate response.
In truth, the question could be flatly denied, but, taking his own situation into account, he acknowledged that some individuals indeed could be so capable at a young age.
However, for most ordinary guys, such an achievement was utterly unattainable, unless, like him, they possessed a system.
"Ah, when you say it's not impossible, you're talking about yourself, right? Sigh, it's hard to find even a few people as accomplished as you in all of Huaxia, so you're not really a reference. I mean, is it possible for someone like me?"
Boss Pu didn't receive the answer he was looking for, so he continued to press Gu Yu for more.
As Gu Yu became even more curious about what had happened at Hu Xiaoya's house to make Boss Pu ask such an off-topic question upon his return, he jokingly said, "Boss, have you forgotten? According to your shareholder status, your shares in the company have long surpassed 5 million!"
"You're no ordinary person now!"
Gu Yu said with a smile on his face.
