Chapter 470: Four hundred seventy returnee students_1

Often, during many unhappy times, thinking of one’s children afterward would bring immense comfort to the heart.

This is almost an experience every parent goes through, and Boss Gu was no exception.

Every time he thought of Tiantian, he felt a warm fuzziness in his heart.

Even in the bitter winter of the twelfth lunar month, it couldn’t freeze the heart of this old father.

"Actually, you don’t have to look so downcast in the future, because no one can say for sure what the world will be like then.

But once you have money, you can buy more houses for your child, consider it creating a fallback for their future."

Boss Gu said this to Old Zhang.

That was almost like revealing a big secret of Boss Gu.

A house is a fixed asset; now, encouraging Old Zhang to buy a house was also a way of secretly helping him to change his fate.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang didn’t show any displeasure; instead, he responded very normally to Boss Gu, "Thank you, Boss Gu. I will surely work hard. I’ve already decided, it doesn’t matter where I live in this life, even if I have to make do under a bridge, I think I can handle a night.

But however I scrape by, my wife and children can’t suffer the slightest hardship.

I’ve already thought very clearly about the future, to give my wife and children a home of their own, this also adds more security to their future."

Old Zhang shared his heartfelt thoughts with Boss Gu.

Boss Gu nodded after hearing this; he knew that Old Zhang’s heart was fixated on status.

He also knew that someday Old Zhang would realize that this might have been the best investment he had ever made.

Now there were no signs of the housing market speculating up, so there were no restrictions on buying houses or anything.

In fact, to put it plainly, as long as you have the money, there is nothing you can’t buy, whether it’s houses or cars.

At this moment, Boss Gu could even guess what Old Zhang’s youngest son would make of all these properties in the future.

Boss Gu’s understanding was unmatched.

"That kid in the future will definitely become a key figure in collecting rent," he thought.

By then, the whole of Chuan City would know his name; he would surely live without worries.

And Old Zhang himself already owned a house in Chuan City. When the time comes for demolition, wouldn’t those houses become property as well?

Of course, these were not words he could say to Old Zhang now; after all, when the time came, Old Zhang would understand for himself.

"Children and grandchildren have their own luck," Boss Gu told Old Zhang.

With Boss Gu’s encouragement, Old Zhang also felt more at ease.

Previously, he indeed had many concerns, but now that he had followed Boss Gu, he believed his future would be extraordinary.

After the third round of drinks and five flavors of food, since Boss Gu had to drive, he didn’t drink any alcohol.

Old Zhang had a little to drink and was already feeling dizzy.

Boss Gu could only assume the role of the driver, extracting his home address from the muddled Old Zhang.

He then sent him home in his confused state.

When they got near his home, Boss Gu saw rows of single-story houses that resembled the countryside.

In a few years, these inconspicuous rural areas would become assets worth tens of millions of yuan.

After dropping him off, Boss Gu chose to take a taxi home.

He needed to hurry home to cook because Ji Pianran and Tiantian seemed to be on their way back.

When Boss Gu got home, he didn’t forget to prepare some roses.

A little bit of ceremonial sense was still necessary; it could make someone’s mood much better for the entire day.

When Ji Pianran arrived home with Tiantian, she opened the door to see Boss Gu standing there with fresh flowers.

For a moment, she also felt very joyful. For her, receiving little surprises from Gu Chen every day was an incredibly happy thing.

Today, Gu Chen was holding white roses, a color that Ji Pianran had never seen before.

"Husband, why are these flowers white? Could that be unlucky?" Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen.

White and yellow flowers at that time were both considered symbols of bad luck.

Because these flowers were often given to the deceased.

"Of course not, don’t worry about it," Gu Chen reassured, rubbing Ji Pianran’s head.

Ji Pianran gently smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and the tiredness of the day instantly dissipated.

Just then, their daughter Tangtang curiously asked Gu Chen, "Daddy, does Tangtang have flowers too?"

Gu Chen heard this and answered Tangtang seriously.

"Tangtang will have flowers when you come back tomorrow, and then you’ll have a different kind of flower," he told her softly and tenderly.

Upon hearing that she would also have her own flowers, Tangtang laughed joyously, truly delighted.

"Thank you, Daddy!" Tangtang’s happiness soared.

As Tangtang went off to do her homework, Gu Chen and Ji Pianran made their way to the kitchen.

Gu Chen was still preparing the meals as usual.

But today, Ji Pianran rolled up her sleeves and actively offered to help Gu Chen.

"Why do you smell so strongly of alcohol today? Did you go out drinking? Have you encountered any troublesome matters?"

Ji Pianran had a particularly sensitive nose; she could smell not just the fragrance of the flowers but also the alcohol on Gu Chen’s breath.

But since Tangtang was there earlier, Ji Pianran hadn’t inquired about it with Gu Chen.

Now that Tangtang was gone, she couldn’t suppress her curiosity anymore.

"Actually, it’s nothing serious. You know the internet café currently has twenty machines, right?

Back when we were decorating, the head of a decorating team said he was very interested in getting involved.

But he couldn’t really contribute much money, just enough for one computer mainframe.

I thought about it and decided to count one machine as his share, considering it wasn’t much money.

Today, I went out for drinks with him, and he got a little too drunk," Gu Chen explained in detail to Ji Pianran.

"So that’s what happened, no wonder," Ji Pianran mused, having never heard Gu Chen mention this before.

But now that she had heard it, she felt indifferent, as if it were just a perfectly normal affair.

Whatever Gu Chen wanted to do, Ji Pianran wouldn’t stop him.

She would give Gu Chen the chance to show what he was capable of, no matter what he decided to do.

"Oh, by the way, I nearly forgot to tell you something," Gu Chen said to Ji Pianran.

"What is it?" Ji Pianran asked curiously.

"Our company has a new designer who has come back from studying abroad. He’s quite knowledgeable.

During today’s meeting, he suggested changing the name of our company. Wang Laojik sounds a bit too unsophisticated.

He plans to choose an English name, but I can’t remember what it was," Ji Pianran tried to recall, but since she didn’t know English, she couldn’t remember the matter at all.
