Chapter 388: Three hundred eighty-eight must have far worries_1

The couple playfully teased each other in the room for a while, and at first, Gu Chen didn’t think much of it.

But this morning his wife wore only a silk nightgown and after a bit of playful scuffling, he found himself feeling rather parched and tongue-tied.

If it hadn’t been for their daughter waiting downstairs for them to come down for breakfast,

Gu Chen felt he might have lost control and discussed a few ’big projects’ with his wife again.

After the family had breakfast, Ji Pianran left for work early as usual.

Gu Chen and their daughter had gradually grown accustomed to this.

Actually, if you really think about it, was Ji Pianran working so hard because she loved money?

Gu Chen didn’t think that was the case; after all, if his wife really loved money that much,

she wouldn’t have married him, let alone lived with him in the village for so many years.

The main reason, of course, was her desire to lighten her father Ji Guangsheng’s worries.

After all, even if Gu Chen’s medicine was potent, it couldn’t cure the aging that time brings.

On the other hand, the strong sense of accomplishment from successive successes,

and the thrill of overcoming challenges, also drove people to keep moving forward.

And his wife Ji Pianran was obviously in this stage, even going to work every day as if she was on a chicken blood high.

Of course, she had good reason to be happy; other people psyching themselves up with chicken blood were just self-hypnosis for the working class.

But Ji Pianran was the one who was really going to take over the company in the future; this was her own family’s group and industry.

Naturally, she had to care much more than others.

And even though she was still rotating through the grass-roots level, it probably wouldn’t be long before her position rose again.

Gu Chen thought it wouldn’t be long before she would taste the power,

and the undeniable authority that came with it.

As her husband, Gu Chen should feel happy about his wife’s rapid career advancement.

But deep down, he was actually quite worried.

After all, Ji Pianran has had such a smooth journey with the help and arrangement of her father-in-law.

She had never encountered any difficulties or setbacks in her career.

She had not experienced the life-and-death struggle that comes when pushed into a corner.

She has only known one success after another.

While this would certainly build her confidence, it might not be entirely good for the future.

After all, the business world is like a battlefield; deceit and do-or-die situations are the norm.

Unfortunately, Gu Chen was now on the outside looking in; after Ji Pianran officially returned to the Ji Family,

there was no room for him to have a say anymore.

Of course, the old patriarch had his reasons; deep down, he genuinely appreciated Gu Chen.

But when it comes down to it, there’s naturally a difference between a son-in-law and a blood daughter.

Not to mention, Gu Chen’s abilities were exceptional; the father-in-law had been in business for half his life.

Was he really so blind that he couldn’t recognize talent? Of course not.

Ji Guangsheng recognized Gu Chen’s strength all too well, which is why he dared not let him into the group.

Otherwise, with Gu Chen’s skills, other than himself, no one in the Ji family, internally or externally,

could hold down his son-in-law.

Plus, Gu Chen had such a good relationship with his daughter, so if he really did that,

it would be questionable if the Ji family name could continue after he was gone.

Plus, he himself had risen to power by the same tactics when he was young.

Now that the situation had fallen on his daughter, how could he possibly let Gu Chen take over and build a nest in his place?

The Ji Family’s business, built up over several generations, could not be handed over for others to reap the benefits.

Although Gu Chen might not have had this thought from the beginning to the end.

But Ji Guangsheng would naturally not entrust such an important matter to whether Gu Chen wanted to do it or not.

Upon such an idealistic decision.

As long as Ji Guangsheng, his father-in-law, was still around for a day, there would never be a place for Gu Chen in the Ji Family.

In this way, it can’t help but give one a sense of the unpredictable nature of life.

When he and Ji Pianran were both living in Haicheng, Ji Guangsheng was always looking forward to Gu Chen’s presence.

Gu Chen was a person of outstanding ability, with both strategy and skill because only that could ensure Ji Pianran’s safety.

But now that they had returned to Chuan City, Gu Chen’s past strengths,

Had all become reasons for the Ji Family to suppress him, after all, Gu Chen was not among those gold-collar executives in the group.

He was the husband of the Ji Family’s young miss, Ji Pianran.

In the future, he was indeed the person with the qualifications and status to usurp the nest.

Gu Chen was very clear about his father-in-law’s worries.

So he could only temporarily suppress this worry in his heart, hoping that even if failure were to occur,

The loss would at least be smaller, so as not to cause too great a mental shock to Ji Pianran who had been smooth sailing for a long time.

Thinking this, Gu Chen then drove his daughter to the kindergarten, a route he knew well.

Today it was still Teacher Zhang on duty; according to her,

She was actually taking over the shifts Dong Yuwei had previously, so braving the cold in the early morning,

She probably couldn’t escape for the remaining half of the month.

As soon as Teacher Zhang saw Gu Chen, the fake professional smile on her face suddenly became more sincere.

She couldn’t help but keep praising Gu Chen’s cooking skills; she had taken the buns back to the office yesterday.

Initially, no one took much notice, but upon tasting them, they immediately realized they were different.

They had lived for so many years, but it was the first time they had eaten buns so delicious and unforgettable.

This had deeply shocked everyone in the office for a moment.

The bag of buns Gu Chen had left behind was instantly snatched away by them.

Even Teacher Zhang herself managed to grab only one.

Teacher Zhang said with an incredulous face.

But by the end, the fact that a few teachers in the office actually went as far as snatching buns from each other,

Immediately made her feel somewhat embarrassed as well.

So when she saw Gu Chen come in today, she was indeed bringing the earnest requests of all the teachers.

After all, Tangtang had said earlier that her dad owned a bun shop.

And naturally, they wanted to buy more of Gu Chen’s delicious buns for their breakfast every day.

"Ah..."

Gu Chen scratched his head and said to Teacher Zhang in front of him.

"Actually, my shop is on Xingye Road, which is quite far from Little Sun Kindergarten.

If you want to go there in the morning, I’m afraid it would be too late.

Moreover, my shop is usually open for just an hour or two.

There are always a lot of people queuing up every day, and even if you did go, you might not be able to get a place in line."

However, saying this and seeing the faint disappointment on her face, Gu Chen smiled and said.

"But this matter is not such a big deal; Teacher Zhang, you just tell me how much your office needs.

It just so happens that I have to drop off and pick up Tangtang every day.

I can just bring your breakfast along; for me, it’s just a matter of lifting a hand."
