Chapter 363: 363 Sending the kid to school_1

"For any enterprise, if the operation relies too much on one person at any crucial link,

that’s absolutely unacceptable,"

As the saying goes, it’s just business. Even though Ji Family was willing to spend plenty of capital on developing new drugs,

and let go of him as a "collaborator," Gu Chen could still understand Ji Changming’s intentions.

Moreover, seeing his wife struggling with the dilemma, Gu Chen couldn’t really just stand by and do nothing.

After all, Gu Chen felt that family harmony between his wife, father-in-law, and mother-in-law

was the most important thing for the future, despite potential earnings; other things just don’t seem to matter much.

Since he had made up his mind, Gu Chen wasted no time.

The three of them quickly packed up and left the house together, hand in hand.

Ji Pianran gave Gu Chen and their daughter a hug in the courtyard before getting into the car and hurriedly leaving.

She was still navigating the lower levels of Ji Family’s department, which Ji Changming and the Butler had kept very secret.

Apart from a small group of top executives, no one knew that this beautiful woman who always smiled so gently,

did not offend anyone in the department, and was exceptionally kind, was actually the heiress of the group.

According to Ji Pianran, although she hadn’t been at work for many days,

several people in the department were already telling her everything they knew, sparing no details.

Even a few were planning to rope her into secretly taking kickbacks and inflating departmental out-of-town allowances.

Gu Chen couldn’t help but suppress a laugh when he heard about all this.

Colluding with the boss’ daughter on embezzling money from her family’s company,

what were these people thinking?

But it indirectly showed that Ji Family wasn’t completely united internally.

Especially those who were once aligned with Ji Changming, although a bunch had been fired because of the fake wolfberry incident,

there were likely still others lying in wait, ready to plot in the shadows.

However, it was clear that Ji Pianran was not planning to deal with these issues anytime soon.

So, these corporate rats could continue to scurry about for a little while longer.

Once Pian Ran has moved up from her grassroots position, she will certainly promote a batch of people she trusts.

When that time comes, it’s likely these guys will be in for some serious trouble.

Gu Chen didn’t bother to meddle with the internal strife and power struggles within Ji Family and the corporation.

Moreover, as Ji Changming wholeheartedly wanted Ji Pianran to succeed him, he would naturally help her strategize and arrange everything.

After all, Gu Chen was a son-in-law, and if he meddled too much in these matters, he could be misunderstood, making things awkward later on.

After watching his wife drive away, Gu Chen also hopped in the car with Tangtang, getting ready to head to Little Sun Kindergarten.

Both Mercedes at home were nice, but so far, they were still borrowed from his father-in-law’s house.

On the way, Gu Chen pondered; he had been doing quite well financially recently, so maybe he should buy a car of his own.

In those days, there weren’t as many foreign car brands as in later years, and considering the import tariffs, the prices were much higher.

The Mercedes business sedans Gu Chen were driving wouldn’t draw much attention if they were on the roads before his rebirth,

but at that time, they were quite an ostentatious display.

To put it in perspective, in the eyes of people from this era,

Now, Gu Chen was equivalent to showing off in a Rolls-Royce just to buy groceries.

Even the owners of general small and medium companies didn’t make as big a show when they went out for business as he did.

As a full-time dad, Gu Chen felt that he absolutely didn’t need to do this.

Moreover, driving was primarily for convenience. Having any car that was suitable for getting around would suffice.

Soon after, he left the residential area amidst the envious stares of the onlookers and quickly arrived at the gates of Little Sun Kindergarten.

Although Gu Chen had gotten up quite early, by the time he arrived, it was already quite late.

A long line had already formed in front of the kindergarten, with children coming to school.

They were greeting the parents and teachers next to them while carrying their little backpacks, filing into the kindergarten in pairs and threes.

As soon as Gu Chen and his daughter got out of the car, they instantly attracted the curious gazes of everyone present.

He couldn’t help it; his car was just too eye-catching early in the morning. It was impossible to ignore.

Although this was Chuan City’s best kindergarten, there were truly few families as rich and noble as the Ji Family.

Most of the children’s parents here were actually middle-class with a modest family wealth.

Another small portion were company owners who had made quite a bit of money from their businesses and sent their children here to study.

And at this moment, as Gu Chen looked around, he suddenly realized that all the parents who had come to drop off their children at the kindergarten were women, with not a single dad in sight, making it seem like he had come to a land of women.

In addition, all the young and beautifully dressed mothers were now curiously looking at Gu Chen altogether.

Then, in less than three minutes, several women began whispering to each other.

Even after he walked in, he could faintly hear them gossiping about whether he had gotten divorced or not.

Some said that it was really tough for such a young man to have to take care of a child all by himself.

Although he knew they didn’t mean any harm, it still made him feel quite overwhelmed at the moment.

Now Gu Chen seemed to understand why his wife had been so worried before.

Meanwhile, a man with a beaming smile stood at the entrance of the kindergarten, waiting for all the children to go in.

When Gu Chen walked in, he couldn’t help but pause, and a look of surprise appeared on the other man’s face as well.

"My god, are you... Li Chunlei?"

"Holy cow, Gu Chen?"

The expressions on both men’s faces were incredibly astonished. The next second, they couldn’t help but laugh and embraced each other.

"Good Lord, it’s been so many years since we’ve seen each other.

I thought you’d kicked the bucket, running off to Chuan City. I thought you were dead for sure."

Li Chunlei was also very excited. He had not seen his best friend from high school for many years since he followed his parents and left Haicheng.

Back then, he, Gu Chen, and Wang Dachun were known as the "Iron Triangle."

Now that old friends were reunited, he was happier than anyone.

"After so many years, you’re still incapable of saying anything nice."

Li Chunlei laughed and shook his head, then his gaze landed on the exquisitely adorable little girl standing beside him.

"Gu Chen, is this your daughter?" he asked, a look of surprise on his face, "She’s this cute?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen, with a proud expression, held his daughter in his arms and said to her,

"Sugar, quickly call him Uncle Chun Lei. He’s one of your daddy’s good brothers."
