Chapter 527: Class Assignment_1

After Ji Pianran left, the Wei Family also started their discussion.

"Dad, should we really not give Gu Chen any gifts?" Wei Tianfu asked.

Wei Baoguo nodded, appearing to be very certain.

"Since he lacks nothing, there’s no need to send anything.

If he wants a favor from our Wei Family, then we’ll grant him that.

After all, he did save Xiao Meng’s life, and we must remember that debt of gratitude."

When discussing serious matters with Wei Tianfu, Wei Baoguo was quite formal, his face devoid of any frivolity.

Following this, the elder by his side agreed, saying, "Don’t underestimate this Gu Chen, he’s not simple.

Setting aside where he learned his traditional medicine, look at him running internet cafes and opening coffee shops.

His wife’s Wang Laoji beverage also seems to be his creation.

His flower shop managed to earn praise from a superstar, and it’s said that his flowers are extremely effective for aiding sleep. Any customer who buys a bouquet will definitely come back for a second one, even though a single bouquet costs fifty-eight yuan.

With his current businesses, he can earn up to fifty thousand yuan a day.

Yet look how low-key he is, walking on the street no different from an ordinary person.

Now look at those rich merchants from Chuan City, each one acting like they’re the bee’s knees."

The old man held Gu Chen in high esteem, which surprised Wei Tianfu.

Because his father-in-law seldom praised anyone, and he remembered very few instances where he was complimented.

Now he had given such a high appraisal of Gu Chen, revealing a significant recognition of him.

But upon reflection, Wei Tianfu found it reasonable.

He had encountered those rich merchants of Chuan City, or more accurately, those rich merchants all wanted to make contact with the Wei Family.

On the one hand, they wanted to connect with Wei Tianfu, and on the other, to reach out to these two elders of the Wei Family.

How capable were these two elders? Their connections, if pulled together, could make the entire Chuan City’s loess tremble.

Getting to know these two was something many rich merchants were willing to spend a fortune on.

"Anyway, in short, when you interact with Gu Chen in the future, just treat him as a benefactor to our family.

This young fellow is smart and sharp-witted, but the most important thing is that he’s skilled, and he might be able to help you in your future career," said Wei Baoguo as he instructed Wei Tianfu.

He had never spoken to Wei Tianfu with such candor before, stopping just short of directly telling Wei Tianfu to try and win Gu Chen over.

In many cases, Wei Tianfu knew his vision and insight could not match those of the two elders.

So he took their words to heart.

And Gu Chen, he etched firmly in his mind.

"However, you should remember to help Gu Chen when you can.

Although he counts as a rich merchant in terms of inheritance, his roots in Chuan City are not as deep as those of other merchants.

But this is also to your advantage; at least he has a clean slate, and your cooperation is unlikely to implicate you," Wei Baoguo continued.

At this moment, Wei Baoguo’s demeanor was entirely unlike what Gu Chen had perceived of him.

Having spent the entire day with Wei Baoguo, Gu Chen had thought of him as a kind-hearted person.

Yet unexpectedly, he turned out to be Wei Tianfu’s Zhuge Liang.

"I’ve noted it down, and I’ll make further contact with him during this period," said Wei Tianfu.

While they were discussing Gu Chen, Gu Chen himself had no interest in thinking about them.

At this time, he came to Qi Qi’s hospital room with his important belongings in hand.

Seeing Old Yuan made Gu Chen feel a bit embarrassed.

"I had some things to take care of today, so I arrived a bit late. I’m sorry," Gu Chen said to Old Yuan.

Old Yuan immediately waved his hand after hearing this, "That’s too polite of you to say. Who doesn’t have things to deal with? Moreover, you’ve been a great help these past few days. I feel like Qi Qi should be almost fully recovered by now.

The doctors are even calling it a medical miracle, and there’s even a TV station that wants to come for an interview.

But then I thought, with so many people suffering from leukemia and waiting for treatment, wouldn’t everyone start coming to you? Even if you have the benevolence of a healer, you may have the will but not the strength. So, I went ahead and declined on your behalf."

Speaking of the recent events, Gu Chen really didn’t know.

A TV station wanted to do an interview?

Luckily, Old Yuan had refused; otherwise, Gu Chen might have really been in trouble.

Thinking about it, Gu Chen couldn’t figure out how the TV station found out about this.

And the Wei Family, how did they know?

Only a few doctors knew about Qi Qi taking Chinese medicine, so it was highly likely that the news came from one of them.

This served as a caution for Gu Chen, and he knew he had to be careful in the future.

There’s no telling how many people in the world suffer from leukemia, including those from wealthy families.

The Wei Family had politely treated him as a guest and invited him over.

But not every household might be so kind. What if someone were to barge into his own home to threaten him? What would he do then?

He himself didn’t mind much, but there were still Tang Tang and Ji Pianran to consider.

Could he really allow them to live in fear every day?

With these thoughts, Gu Chen decided that once Qi Qi was almost recovered and Xiao Meng was not in such a critical condition,

he would no longer prepare this prescription—at least not until he had the absolute ability to handle the consequences.

Qi Qi drank her medicine cheerfully as usual.

But now, the changes in her body were not as obvious as they had been at the start.

Or rather, it seemed like all the changes that could be seen on the surface had already occurred.

For instance, her hair had darkened a lot, her skin looked healthy, and her face had color in it.

In short, she did not look at all like someone suffering from leukemia.

If she were to walk on the street, no one would doubt she was a healthy child.

From her condition, Gu Chen estimated that she might be almost completely recovered in about half a month.

Of course, this was just his own judgment; when she would actually get better was something that had to be observed over time.

"Old Yuan, let’s keep this matter quiet, the fewer people know, the better," Gu Chen advised Old Yuan.

Old Yuan then solemnly promised him, "Leave it to me, and you can rest assured. I can’t guarantee other things, but my mouth is definitely sealed. I won’t say a word that shouldn’t be said."

When Gu Chen got back home, he found that Tang Tang had not yet gone to sleep.

He didn’t know why Tang Tang hadn’t gone to bed so late.

"Why are you still not asleep?"

Gu Chen then crouched down and asked Tang Tang.

"The kindergarten has given us a class task to wash daddy’s feet. Daddy, please sit down. Tang Tang will wash your feet, and after that, I can go to sleep," Tang Tang said, her head drooping, sleepy and on the verge of nodding off.

Seeing her like this, Gu Chen could only go and prepare the footbath himself.

"Don’t wait up for daddy when it’s this late, okay?"
