She Live Streams Modern Life to Ancient People After Failing to Conquer the Emperor

Chapter 114: Do you think I’m an ATM



Chapter 114

Upon hearing this, the Elder Princess immediately nodded.

She stood up swiftly, saying, "Good, we must act without delay. I'll lead the soldiers to the rescue right away."

After ending the call, Gu Sang rushed to her computer desk.

She turned on the computer and began searching for information on how to make lifeboats, along with other necessary items for rescue operations - ropes, medicines, methods, and so on.

Gu Sang lost track of how many web pages she had scoured and how many instructional videos she had watched.

But this information was far from sufficient.

The most crucial parts and essence were still missing!

Ancient production techniques were primitive, and how could suitable replacement materials be found in such a short time?

Neither the online resources nor the personal tutorial videos were clear enough. Gu Sang could even tell that they had concealed the most critical aspects of lifeboat construction.

The sound of sirens outside snapped Gu Sang out of her concentration. She turned her head to glance out the window.

It was already morning.

"It seems I'll have to visit a company that specializes in making lifeboats to inquire," Gu Sang thought as she searched for lifeboat companies in her city on the computer.

Just then, Chen Yun called her: "Gu Sang, tomorrow is my birthday. I'd like to invite you."

Tomorrow?

Gu Sang looked at the locations of lifeboat companies displayed on her computer screen. The nearest one was in the neighboring province, and she likely wouldn't make it back in time for tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, Ayun, I have something to do tomorrow and won't be able to attend your birthday party. My apologies."

Ayun smiled and said, "No worries. I'm being discharged this afternoon, so how about I treat you to a meal today?"

"I have to leave the province today to take care of something. I'm afraid I won't make it in time not only for the birthday party but also for the meal."

Seeing how busy Gu Sang seemed, Ayun couldn't help but ask, "There aren't many people coming to my birthday party, so you don't need to feel bad. But you seem to be in quite a hurry. Is something wrong?"

"Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you think of a solution."

"My boyfriend just got into graduate school. He's very smart and knows a lot of people. Maybe he could help you."

Gu Sang initially didn't hold out much hope for Chen Yun's offer.

But then she thought, since it was Chen Yun's birthday and she was being so kind, there was no harm in explaining the situation.

Gu Sang sighed and said, "My friend lives in a remote mountainous area that frequently experiences floods. I need to know how to make lifeboats immediately, so I'm planning to go to a lifeboat company to ask."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yun on the other end of the line seemed a bit confused.

What did floods have to do with Gu Sang?

However, Chen Yun knew her boundaries and didn't ask questions she shouldn't. She immediately responded, "Oh, is that so? In that case, come find me. I can actually help you with this."

"I don't think I've told you before, but my brother-in-law runs a lifeboat manufacturing factory. It's not a big company, just about a hundred employees. My sister has asked me several times to work there."

"I'm quite familiar with lifeboats and such. If you want to know anything, I can tell you."

"Or I can call my sister and have her send you a few lifeboats. They're in manufacturing, so the raw materials don't cost much."

In that instant, Gu Sang felt a sudden rush of joy.

Her heart raced with excitement, her hands trembling.

What a fortunate coincidence!

Gu Sang said gratefully, "Ayun, you've really helped me out of a big problem!"

"Do you have time now? This is quite urgent for me, so I'd like to come and ask you about the manufacturing process right away."

Chen Yun could hear the urgency in Gu Sang's voice through the phone.

She immediately said, "Sure, I'm still at the hospital. Come over now."

After ending the call with Chen Yun, Gu Sang quickly changed her clothes, freshened up, and took a taxi to the hospital to meet Chen Yun.

In the taxi, Gu Sang had already listed all the materials and supplies needed for the rescue operation.

With these things, it would be much easier for the Elder Princess and her team to save people.

Just as she reached the door of the hospital room, she heard a male voice from inside.

"Chen Yun, how can you be so materialistic now? When you were with me before, we used to split a single loaf of bread between us."

"I've been working myself to death, doing overtime every day to marry you. I finally managed to get into graduate school and find a good job, and now you've changed like this?!"

"It's true that bad company corrupts good morals! Now you even dare to buy skincare products worth over a thousand yuan behind my back!"

"I've told you many times that you look beautiful without makeup. Why do you need to use these high-tech products? Do you know that thousand yuan could cover our living expenses for a month?!"

Gu Sang's hand, poised to open the door, suddenly froze.

Her silence was deafening.

What luck she had!

Every time she came, she seemed to stumble upon them arguing about money.

Although Gu Sang was in a hurry to learn about the manufacturing process, she felt it was best not to interrupt a dispute between a couple. She decided to wait a moment before knocking.

But then she heard Chen Yun inside, crying and saying in a dejected tone, "This is my own money that I earned. Tomorrow is my birthday. How is it materialistic to spend my own money?"

"And stop insinuating things about Lin Lin every time. She's my friend, and I won't let you slander her."

Her boyfriend immediately let out a cold laugh, "Chen Yun, you agreed earlier to save money with me to pay the down payment on a house. I've been living frugally, all for the sake of having a home with you."

"And here you are, not even blinking an eye at spending over a thousand yuan on skincare products."

"What birthday? Aren't you just hinting that your birthday is coming up, wanting me to reimburse you for these thousand-yuan skincare products? Now that you see I'm a graduate student, you're treating me like an ATM, aren't you?"

"How did you become so materialistic?"

"Bang!"

Chen Yun's boyfriend shook his head in disappointment and then angrily opened the door, ready to storm out.

He looked up and saw Gu Sang standing at the doorway.

The anger on his face instantly dissipated.

His expression changed several times before finally settling on a polite and gentle smile. He greeted Gu Sang with a tone of inexplicable warmth, as if he hadn't been the one angry just moments ago.

Her boyfriend smiled and greeted her, "Sang... Gu Sang, are you here to see Ayun too? Go on in, I'm just going out for some fresh air."

Gu Sang: .......

Didn't he used to call her 'Sang Sang' quite sweetly before?

Why did he stop?

Oh!

His girlfriend was here. How interesting!

Only after Chen Yun's boyfriend left did Gu Sang enter the hospital room.

Seeing Gu Sang come in, Chen Yun quickly crumpled the tissue in her palm, not wanting Gu Sang to notice that she had been wiping away tears.

Seven years!

She suffered with him for seven years!

They lived in a basement apartment, ate plain steamed buns, and during the toughest times, couldn't even afford a bowl of noodles.

Even when he was preparing for his graduate school entrance exams, she felt sorry that he had no job or income. She was the one paying the rent all by herself!

And now.

All she got in return was, "Why have you become so materialistic?"

"Are you treating me like an ATM?"

Chen Yun's heart shattered. Holding back her pain, she composed herself and forced a smile at Gu Sang. "Sang, come sit down."
