Chapter 575: Five hundred seventy celebrity figures

Nowadays, Gu Chen is quite the celebrity in Chuan City.

It was mainly thanks to the words Liu Dahai said in front of the cameras.

A cook can build houses?

Just these seven short words were enough to plunge many citizens into suspicion.

They began to doubt Gu Chen’s abilities and also believed that Gu Chen was not qualified for the responsibility of this project.

Now that Gu Chen has bought this dance hall, it seems to give the impression that he is not engaged in serious business.

Today Gu Chen took care of some procedures, but there are still many things that will take a few days to process.

After making his medicines at home, he went to deliver them to the Wei Family.

On the way there, he turned on the car’s radio broadcast.

To his surprise, the radio broadcast was discussing matters related to him.

"To all our listeners, the recent arrest of the heads of three real estate companies in Chuan City has drawn quite a bit of attention.

What concerns everyone the most is the new developer, Ping’an Real Estate.

For those of you who don’t know about this, let us reintroduce the background of this matter.

The chairman of Ping’an Real Estate, Gu Chen, once ran a coffee shop, a flower shop, an internet cafe, and a restaurant in Chuan City.

And now, he has suddenly established Ping’an Real Estate and plans to start building houses.

Because Director Gu lacks experience, it instantly provoked heated debate. Many people are questioning whether this seemingly all-around competent director can really handle the great task of real estate."

"And today, it’s the auction of all assets of Green Sky Real Estate’s Director Liu Dahai.

During the auction, an unexpected event transpired.

Ping’an Real Estate’s Director Gu purchased the dance hall previously operated by Liu Dahai for three hundred and fifty thousand yuan.

You should know, Liu Dahai was partly imprisoned due to that dance hall, and our Director Gu didn’t care at all and auctioned it off, creating a controversy upon this move.

Many are questioning the motives of Ping’an Real Estate’s Director Gu. Is he planning to follow in Liu Dahai’s footsteps? Is Liu Dahai’s lesson not severe enough?"

"Next up, we will open the lines for listener opinions. Please share your thoughts."

After the radio host had finished speaking,

their phones were immediately inundated with calls.

Suddenly the first caller was connected.

"Hello, hello, hello? Can you hear me speaking?" An outsider with a rough voice asked with gusto.

"We can hear you. Please share your viewpoint," the radio host quickly responded.

"Let me tell you, when Liu Dahai was arrested, everybody saw what he said.

All crows under the sky are black. If we look closely, what’s the difference between what Gu Chen is doing and what Liu Dahai did?

My opinion is, it won’t take more than three months for Gu Chen to end up joining Liu Dahai."

"We’ve seen plenty of people like this. They’re all the same, none of them are any good."

This rugged man made his opinion clear, showing no confidence in Gu Chen.

Soon, the second caller joined in.

It was a woman, and when she spoke, she sounded as if she was speaking through her throat, perhaps because she was too nervous.

"I have insider information that Gu Chen managed to win the project by pulling strings.

And this guy, he’s very lecherous, not a decent person at all. Taking on this dance hall, who knows what he’s scheming."

...

"I know about Gu Chen. I’ve been to his Qiwei Vegetarian before. He was very cold and arrogant, and he looked down on us ordinary folks."

...

"Taking over this project, who knows how many shoddy constructions he will bring to Chuan City, and in the end, it’s us regular people who foot the bill while they make a fortune and do whatever they want."

Each listener who called into these radio stations

spoke of various strange and varied issues.

The vast majority were criticizing Ping’an Real Estate.

Gu Chen had been listening all along.

He listened feeling puzzled and helpless.

He found that it seemed everyone had their so-called insider information.

And they could speak about it convincingly, to the point that those who didn’t know might think it was true.

There were even people claiming they saw him at Qiwei Vegetarian, acting arrogantly?

Gu Chen just found it laughable.

Did these people truly know everything, or were they just spreading hearsay and rumors?

But upon reflection, he also felt powerless.

Because this was the opinion of the vast majority of people in Chuan City.

They all maintained a very pessimistic attitude toward Ping’an Real Estate.

As if to them, Ping’an Real Estate was like a makeshift troupe that had sprung up out of nowhere.

For Chuan City, the existence of companies like Ping’an Real Estate seemed like a nightmare.

At this time, Gu Chen had arrived at the Wei Family’s home.

After arriving at the Wei Family’s home, he finally turned off that annoying radio station.

After getting out of the car, he went straight into the Wei Family’s house.

The elder Wei couple were both there.

Upon entering, he found the elder couple was actually watching television.

The TV was showing local Chuan City media reporting on today’s auction news.

After placing down the herbs, Gu Chen also silently watched.

The content being broadcast on the TV felt all too familiar to Gu Chen.

It started with a report on the auction, followed by questions and even attacks directed at him, Gu Chen.

Watching this, Gu Chen found it both laughable and frustrating.

Wei Baoguo, who was sitting beside him, was the first to speak, asking, "Is that dance hall really so fun? Why do so many wealthy people love to go to such places?"

Gu Chen replied, "The main reason for the popularity of dance halls is the combination of dim lighting and alcohol. Under the influence of these two factors, people often lose themselves in such an environment."

"How do you plan to run this dance hall?" he asked Gu Chen.

"I don’t intend to turn it into a dance hall. I’ll change it to a different form, but it will still be a place for entertainment and leisure consumption."

Gu Chen didn’t keep anything from them. There was really no need to lie to the elder couple.

After hearing this, all they did was nod in understanding.

However, Wei Baoguo then spoke very seriously to Gu Chen, "Xiao Gu, we must be prudent and steady in our actions. No matter what outsiders say, we must remain resolute in doing what we need to do."

Gu Chen had thought Wei Baoguo would question him, but to his surprise, at this moment, Wei Baoguo was actually supporting him.

"I know very well who you are. To say you would follow Liu Dahai’s old path, well, I for one don’t believe it," Wei Baoguo added with unwavering confidence.

This was perhaps the most heartwarming thing Gu Chen had heard up to this point.

The other elder also said directly, "Xiao Gu, do a good job."

Neither of the two elders doubted Gu Chen’s abilities or his character.

Now Gu Chen felt much more at ease.

Tomorrow was the signing ceremony.

Once it was over, he could officially start work.
