Chapter 531: 526 companies have not registered_1

He groped his way along, frequently stopping to ask for directions until he finally found Wei Tianfu’s office.

Lightly knocking on the door from outside, he waited for Wei Tianfu’s response before pushing the door open and walking in.

After entering, President Gu was completely bewildered, doubting if he had wandered into the wrong place.

Was this really where Wei Tianfu worked? If someone told him it was a factory storeroom, President Gu would have believed it.

Everywhere he looked, there seemed to be no place to set foot.

The area was cluttered with piles of file folders, while countless sheets of paper fluttered all around.

WeI Tianfu, seated at his desk, was holding a magnifying glass in his hand at the time.

The desk was overflowing with a chaotic assortment of papers.

Among the visible mess, there was a broken fountain pen on the desk.

President Gu thought that a person who wrote so much they broke a fountain pen was like someone who smoked so much they ran their lighter dry.

"I’m really sorry, I haven’t had time to tidy up recently, make yourself comfortable, just find a spot to sit wherever," explained Wei Tianfu, aware of the mess in his office, and invited President Gu to find a seat.

President Gu casually took a seat on the side, which was quite difficult considering the circumstances.

At that time, he was still not finished with his work, so he continued to immerse himself deeply in it.

There, President Gu waited for about forty minutes.

He was in no hurry as he didn’t have much else to do that day.

It wasn’t until there was another knock on the door of the office that Wei Tianfu, engrossed in his work, was brought back to reality.

"Come in!" Wei Tianfu called to the door.

Then, a man dressed in a black suit entered.

Upon seeing the visitor, Wei Tianfu put down his pen and stood up.

He said to President Gu, "This is Wu Dazhu, the head of Heritage Bank. All the funding for your project will come from him."

He introduced Wu Dazhu’s identity directly to President Gu.

Wu Dazhu was somewhat startled when he saw President Gu.

The news he had received yesterday had already seemed a bit odd to him.

Because during the phone call, Wei Tianfu had already mentioned handing the project over to a new company.

For this reason, he made a point of investigating several real estate companies around Chuan City.

After a cursory investigation, he learned what kind of business and achievements these real estate companies had.

But when he saw President Gu, he was taken aback.

On one hand, there was President Gu’s age; he looked much too young.

All the directors of these real estate companies were old guys in their forties and fifties, and compared to them, President Gu seemed just like a youngster.

On the other hand, there was President Gu’s face, which was very unfamiliar; it had never come up in his investigations, making him wonder what exactly President Gu’s real estate development company was all about.

Despite the many questions in his mind, Wu Dazhu still shook hands with President Gu formally.

At this time, Wei Tianfu also started introducing President Gu’s identity.

"This is President Gu, the main partner for this project," he said.

"You two can talk amongst yourselves. I’ve got something else to deal with, and I’ll join you after I finish it," said Wei Tianfu, indicating that his work was endless and he could not stop for even a second.

He went back to his busy workload, leaving President Gu and Wu Dazhu to converse.

"How long has President Gu been working in the real estate field?" he asked directly, without any superfluous small talk.

Upon hearing this, President Gu hesitated inwardly. He wasn’t sure whether to embellish his experience a bit.

But after a second thought, he felt that being honest was the best policy. Putting on a facade was really not something he wished to do.

"My real estate company hasn’t even been registered yet."

When President Gu finished saying this, Wu Dazhu, who had maintained a professional smile thoughout, couldn’t help but retract the standard smile that had accompanied him throughout his career.

A company that hadn’t even been registered yet!

He couldn’t help but glance at Wei Tianfu sitting across from him.

At that moment, Wei Tianfu didn’t show the slightest reaction.

"Does President Gu have any friends who work in this area, or perhaps some other understanding of this business?"

He continued to ask President Gu, wanting to understand his background more clearly. He had to start all over again since all the preparation he had done before was for naught.

"It seems like nobody around me actually works in the real estate industry."

He didn’t know what Old Yuan did for a living, but it definitely wasn’t real estate.

Old Zhang worked in decoration; that surely couldn’t be considered part of the real estate industry...

So, there was nothing wrong with the response that no one around him worked in real estate.

Hearing President Gu’s answer, Wu Dazhu didn’t even know how to continue the conversation.

It was as if there was a position for a translator being recruited, and now President Gu came for an interview.

The first question of the interview was how good his English was, but President Gu simply responded with "I don’t know."

How could the interview continue after that? Was there even a point?

He just didn’t understand why Wei Tianfu would entrust such an important matter to a blank slate like President Gu.

Wasn’t he afraid that the whole thing would be botched?

Though cooperating with Wei Tianfu could be considered a kind of security,

the small chance of failure didn’t mean there was no chance at all.

If it were a regular real estate company, the chances of failure would be reduced over and over again.

But with President Gu, who knew nothing, to put it harshly, it meant he was completely ignorant.

This increased the likelihood of failure significantly.

If there were any slight mistakes in this business, Wu Dazhu might as well go home and play chess with the old man for the latter half of his life; all his efforts so far would have been in vain.

"So President Gu doesn’t have any other businesses?" he could only ask this.

"Yes, I currently run an internet cafe, a restaurant, a coffee shop, and a flower shop."

President Gu listed his profitable ventures.

He was somewhat surprised to hear that President Gu had so many businesses in his hands.

It wasn’t because having four businesses was particularly unusual, but rather that President Gu’s four businesses seemed completely unrelated; the range was a bit too broad.

"Oh, and I’ve just started a distillery recently. I’m planning to enter the liquor industry, but we’ve just finished recruiting staff, so it’ll probably be a while before we can operate normally."

President Gu laid out all his ventures.

Wu Dazhu didn’t know what to say.

With President Gu’s qualifications, if he were applying for a regular loan, he’d definitely be considered a VIP customer.

Stable income, diversified industries, and many assets in his name—that was top-notch!
