Chapter 542: Five hundred thirty-seven, top three before the exam_1

Upon hearing Elder Yuan’s method, a light shone in Gu Chen’s eyes.

He had forgotten about this matter before.

He had originally planned to entrust it all to those security companies, but now, after listening to Elder Yuan, he felt that hiring those people directly might be a good option as well.

Just as Elder Yuan had just said, their former duties involved work that was imbued with a strong sense of justice.

At least in this respect, their bottom lines were bound to be higher.

"They are not ordinary soldiers; they are quite special, with very strong personal capabilities. Basically, one person can take on a small squad without a problem,"

Elder Yuan narrated to Gu Chen, indicating that these were not just any soldiers, but warriors with actual combat experience.

Hearing this, Gu Chen became very interested.

"Then I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble Elder Yuan with this matter,"

Gu Chen did not stand on ceremony and directly accepted the offer, asking Elder Yuan to help him out.

"Alright, I’ll take care of this matter. Although I, Old Yuan, can’t be certain they will not change, when I fought alongside them, they were the comrades I trusted the most.

Even though we haven’t shared life-and-death experiences in a hail of bullets, we have a decade of camaraderie, which is akin to a life-and-death bond."

As Elder Yuan finished speaking, Old Zhang was somewhat astonished.

He really did not know, as Elder Yuan never mentioned it before.

"You used to be a soldier?" Gu Chen asked Elder Yuan.

"That was ten years ago. The skills I learned back then have all been returned. Those days were truly wonderful; just training every day without needing to worry about other matters, not like now where so many things have to be considered beforehand."

As he spoke of the past, Elder Yuan suddenly became a bit nostalgic.

This experience had occupied ten years of his youth, so it was naturally deeply etched in his memory.

"No wonder the first time I saw you, I thought you were so imposing; it’s because of this background."

Gu Chen did not skimp on his praise.

After receiving the compliments, Elder Yuan also smiled.

"Leave this matter to me; I’ll let you know when I’ve gathered them up,"

This matter was thus settled, and Gu Chen did not need to worry about it anymore; everything was in Elder Yuan’s hands.

Gu Chen realized that having more friends opened more paths; having Old Zhang and Elder Yuan was truly a relief from many troubles.

On the way home, Gu Chen did not go straight back but lingered around the roads where those real estate companies were located.

He wanted to figure out just how many such companies there were in Chuan City.

He had not investigated carefully before.

After his meticulous exploration, he finally understood who his enemies were.

Currently, there are three leading real estate enterprises in the entire Chuan City.

They are Yue Xing Real Estate, Green Sky Development, and lastly, Tianyun Real Estate.

All three enterprises are very powerful, with each company having at least three thousand employees.

Their subsidiaries in Chuan City each count no fewer than seven.

It indeed seems like a three-way battle for dominance, with himself resembling the Sima family.

It remains to be seen if he could pick up an advantage at the end like the Sima family did.

Gu Chen actually found something odd, which was why all three companies were in Chuan City without any conflict?

Theoretically, with the business in Chuan City being only so large, who would want to share their monopoly?

How could these three families stand united on the same front?

Wei Tianfu clearly intended to suppress all three companies together, which was quite strange. He could have easily aligned with one and then attacked another, breaking them down one by one.

Was it because the employees of these three companies were very united? Or did Wei Tianfu simply want to take on all three directly?

Gu Chen felt the latter was almost impossible. Wei Tianfu was a smart man; he wouldn’t handle things like a brute without using clever strategies.

So there could only be one possibility, either these three companies had really agreed to coexist harmoniously in Chuan City from now on, sharing the spoils while kicking out anyone else wanting a piece of Chuan City.

Or they had temporarily united because of this incident to jointly oppose Wei Tianfu.

Gu Chen had initially thought about trying to dismantle them from the inside, but after careful consideration, he realized that was highly unlikely. If it had been possible, Wei Tianfu would have likely done it by now.

After observing these three companies, Gu Chen returned home to cook.

No matter how deceitful the outside world was, he still had to do his duty at home.

About half an hour later,

Ji Pianran returned home with Tangtang.

Today Tangtang came back with a very happy expression on her face.

"You’ve been having monthly exams at preschool for the past seven days, have the overall results been tallied up?" Gu Chen curiously asked Tangtang.

Gu Chen had not expected the preschool’s monthly exams to have so many tests.

He had thought it would just be a single answer sheet, but it turned out there were many parts to it.

But overall, it was not much different from a single exam paper; it was just that many questions were separated out.

For example, the essay on the language test was taken out as a separate test to be done on a different day.

Although Gu Chen found it a bit exaggerated, he thought it was actually okay; at least the preschool was serious about these exams.

"Tangtang, tell your dad how you did," Ji Pianran said with a smile at that time.

"Dad, stand still and listen to me," Tangtang said very seriously to Gu Chen.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen put down the kitchen knife in his hand and prepared to listen intently to what Tangtang had to say.

"The monthly exam results are out, the full mark is 350 points, Tangtang got 333 points, ranking third!"

Hearing that Tangtang had achieved such an excellent result, ranking in the top three, Gu Chen was a bit surprised.

He initially thought that Tangtang’s studies did not need to be too good; being average would suffice, and being among the top twenty would be about right.

Even if she ranked a few from the bottom, it would not be a big deal, since these things could gradually be nurtured.

Unexpectedly, Tangtang had secured the third place.

Although it was just a small preschool test, Gu Chen knew this would be a very rewarding achievement for Tangtang.

In Gu Chen’s eyes, there were still elementary, middle school, high school, and university, but in Tangtang’s eyes, the preschool was everything to her right now.

Gu Chen then gave a very dramatic expression and picked up Tangtang.

"How come our Tangtang is so incredible! Third place! How did you do it?" Gu Chen excitedly asked.

Seeing Gu Chen’s reaction, Tangtang was thrilled and eagerly started to talk to Gu Chen about the exam content.
