Chapter 287: 287 Ji Pianran Cried _1

Manager Wang thought for a long while, then nodded heavily.

"Okay, I’ll give it a try!"

President Gu looked at him with a smiling face and then patted his shoulder after a long pause.

"I’ll take all those clothes. How much?"

Since the man was willing to follow him, he had to give him some hope, right?

If it worked out, great for both of them; if not, at least he’d managed to sell off the clothes he had.

He could always set up a street stall and sell them in a flash; he wouldn’t lose money.

After all, there was a difference in regional markets.

Manager Wang’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at President Gu.

Just moments ago, he thought that President Gu was merely extending a casual invitation, and if they were to collaborate, he might have to bring his clothes over and split the selling profits.

But unexpectedly, President Gu was so generous as to buy all his stock!

This significantly reduced his costs.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was clean and devoid of any pretense.

Manager Wang felt a tightness in his eyes and was suddenly moved.

He had been with Li Haitao for seven or eight years and considered himself loyal.

He worked diligently, always early to rise and late to return, never once late.

Yet Li Haitao only knew how to exploit him and had no emotional attachment to him whatsoever.

But President Gu, whom he had only met for a day and spoken to a few times on the phone, had given him so much trust.

He was truly a good person.

Besides, being able to afford a building in Huacheng was enough to prove his capability.

With such a boss, to hell with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou!

Even if it was the ends of the earth, he would follow President Gu!

"President Gu, consider these clothes as my share in the business. Twenty percent isn’t a lot. If you agree, I’ll resign right now."

"From now on, I’ll take care of stocking up. After having been here for so many years, I know exactly which factories produce quality clothes at low costs. Moreover, I’m friends with quite a few factory owners; we can get the goods first and pay later. This will not be a problem."

Manager Wang now stood up straight, his face ablaze with determination.

Trees that are transferred die, but people who move, live. He felt that this move could change his destiny!

President Gu patted his shoulder, his face full of the spirit of brotherhood.

"Good! With your word, I can rest easy. If we make a profit, we will share it. I will not let you suffer any losses, we shall earn money together!"

...

After leaving the garment district, the two went to dine together, with President Gu, the boss, naturally footing the bill.

After the meal, Manager Wang wrote his resignation letter with great excitement.

President Gu, meanwhile, got into a car and headed to the police station.

Now that he had already exposed the pyramid scheme organization, all they had to do was follow him to arrest people, which shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

It was now two in the afternoon, and the officers at the police station had all started their shifts.

They listened in utter amazement.

This young man from out of town had successfully located the pyramid scheme within just two days.

This was truly astonishing.

Some even joked, "Why don’t you come work with us? Specializing in busting pyramid schemes, you would definitely be the most commendable this year!"

President Gu shook his head with a smile and stated a fact.

"Because I want to save my brother."

If their relatives were also deceived, they too would have found them within two days.

But it wasn’t entirely their fault; after all, these pyramid schemes have their own processes and Huacheng is so large, with countless people being scammed every day, they are actually quite busy.

...

At six o’clock in the evening, President Gu received a text message from President Huang.

The address read: Fuxi Road, Business Property No. 407, Time Tea Bar.

Gu Chen handed the address to the police officer in charge of this operation, "Please take a look, it’s right here."

Upon hearing this, the police officer called out to the expansive office.

"Xiao Wang, Xiao Liu, Xiao Wu, and Zhang Zhibing, pack up your stuff and follow me!"

After speaking, he then looked at Gu Chen, "Chen, to ensure success, we can’t take the same car as you, you should take a cab there, and we’ll keep in touch."

Gu Chen nodded earnestly, "Okay!"

From the moment he entered Huacheng, he had been waiting to catch the pyramid scheme leader and find his older brother.

Now, it was finally time to set off.

He couldn’t help feeling excited.

Sitting in the taxi, Gu Chen called Ji Pianran.

At that moment, Ji Pianran was playing at the amusement park in the mall they had visited the day before, watching over Tangtang who was playing inside.

When her phone rang, she took it out of her pocket.

Seeing that it was a call from Gu Chen, a layer of soft happiness spread across her face and a touch of tenderness tinted her deep eyes.

"Hello, are you coming back?" she asked softly and sweetly.

"I won’t be able to join you for dinner tonight, but if all goes well, I might find big brother tonight," Gu Chen said.

Even his tone carried an undertone of gravity.

Ji Pianran, however, couldn’t help feeling anxious; she glanced at Tangtang who was still sliding down the slide and walked to a less crowded spot before speaking.

"Be careful."

Gu Chen looked out the taxi window at the green trees flashing by and nodded lightly, "Mhm."

Ji Pianran’s expression grew serious, and her eyes, filled with moisture, showed her tension as she said through gritted teeth, "Come back safe."

Although she didn’t know what he was facing, she was very worried.

Gu Chen had made contact with the pyramid scheme organization the day before yesterday.

Those people were not to be trifled with. She had spoken with her father that afternoon, and her dad said that many of those involved were desperados who would do anything for money.

They had no bottom line and were capable of doing anything.

Her father also mentioned that Chuan City had busted a pyramid scheme hub a few days ago where an eighteen-year-old boy had been beaten to death.

All of his limbs were fractured, and his ribs were broken as well. It sounded incredibly tragic.

Ji Pianran was truly scared; she feared something terrible had happened to her big brother and was more afraid that Gu Chen wouldn’t return.

He was her everything.

The hope of their family.

She dared not think further, clenching her fists tightly, her fingernails digging into her palms, leaving deep marks.

Her lips were bitten to a deep red, nearly bleeding.

"Remember to eat on time, your stomach isn’t great, and Tangtang is still small, she can’t go hungry either. Don’t feed her too much meat, be careful of indigestion," Gu Chen continued to instruct.

Suddenly, he heard faint sobbing over the phone.

Something in his heart began to ache unexpectedly.

"Don’t cry, it’s okay, I’m very safe, don’t worry," Gu Chen said, comforting her with a gentle voice.

Ji Pianran wiped away the tears that threatened to spill, lifted her head, and struggled not to let them fall.

She couldn’t bear letting him take the risk alone.

She couldn’t bear it and couldn’t bear the thought.

Loving someone deeply is like this; the slightest trouble for one causes the other endless worry and heartache, wishing the trouble upon themselves, wishing they could take on all the difficulties.

Like Ji Pianran at this moment, she felt as if the sky were falling, even though she truly trusted Gu Chen.

But she didn’t dare to gamble, she was too scared of losing.

She wanted to be by his side; only his company could settle her heart.

Ji Pianran choked and said, "Can we go together?"
