Chapter 608: 613 My Tycoon Dad

I heard there’s another subsidy coming through.

Gu Chen looked at him curiously, planning to find out how much.

"It seems like you haven’t used the six million from last time, so this..."

He hadn’t even finished speaking when.

Gu Chen immediately said with a smile, "Thanks a lot, I’ve been worried about money issues indeed.

The company has been pressing me for funds recently, and I haven’t had time to go over."

After hearing what Gu Chen had said, Wu Dazhu had no choice but to swallow the words he was about to say.

Then, he said to Gu Chen, "The subsidy this time is two million yuan, mainly for construction materials again, but this time it’s not going to your bank card, but directly into your business account."

The moment Gu Chen heard the money was going into the business account, he lost interest immediately.

Money in the business account signifies company money.

Although Gu Chen is the chairman of the company and the only one who holds power,

that doesn’t mean he can move the company’s money around at will.

Because that money belongs to the company, not to him personally.

Of course, he could decide where the money goes, such as distributing it as dividends or simply as wages to move the money to his own account; but doing so would mean that he would have to pay extra taxes.

However, the company’s funds could be used to purchase real estate and other investments, which could save a significant amount in expenses.

"Then, thank you so much, Brother Zhu Zi."

Regardless, it was free money after all, so Gu Chen felt quite happy about it.

Seeing Gu Chen’s reaction, Wu Dazhu didn’t say anything else.

"You, I really don’t get why you’re hoarding so much money.

You haven’t touched a penny of that six million," he said to Gu Chen, somewhat perplexed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen immediately started to protest his innocence.

"Brother Zhu Zi, you don’t know, just the sound and lighting for the bar’s renovation cost a good one hundred and fifty thousand.

Later on, the music station alone was another hundred thousand.

Including labor costs, overhead, and all those bottles ordered for the wine cellar.

We haven’t even opened for business yet, but surely at least several hundred thousand have already gone into it."

Wu Dazhu was somewhat incredulous as he heard how surprisingly large an investment this bar entailed.

He couldn’t believe that Gu Chen was willing to spend so much money.

"You know the amount you’ve invested could directly start up a serious company," he said to Gu Chen.

"A company doesn’t make as much as a bar," Gu Chen replied with an offhand laugh.

After hearing Gu Chen’s words, Wu Dazhu felt a bit skeptical.

A bar making more money than a company seemed hardly possible.

But he didn’t ask further; instead, he brought up the matter of the vineyard.

"As we said earlier, I’m supposed to contribute to the vineyard as well. Let’s do this, you name the figure, and I will transfer it to you," he said to Gu Chen.

This was something the two had agreed upon beforehand.

Gu Chen responded with a casual smile, "Just transfer me fifty thousand then. I haven’t done the precise math, but it’s certain that the wine cost over a hundred thousand."

Without hesitation, Wu Dazhu took out fifty thousand yuan from his office drawer and handed it to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen reached out and accepted the fifty thousand yuan.

The reason he actually asked Wu Dazhu for the money was to smooth over future collaborations.

It wasn’t that he really cared about the fifty thousand yuan.

But if he didn’t take it, the partnership with Wu Dazhu would likely be difficult to maintain going forward.

At that moment, Gu Chen seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly said to Wu Dazhu.

"Brother Zhu Zi, this money is yours, isn’t it?" he teased.

Upon hearing this, Wu Dazhu immediately rolled his eyes, "I’ve been working in Chuan City for so many years, do you think I don’t understand the rules? Of course, it’s my own money."

Gu Chen was just making a casual joke and didn’t actually think that Wu Dazhu would use public funds to deal with him.

"Alright, then I’ll be leaving first. Just go directly tomorrow evening," he said.

Without further ado, Gu Chen left the place.

Sitting in his office, Wu Dazhu watched Gu Chen’s departing figure.

He couldn’t help but sigh.

He didn’t know whether Gu Chen’s bar could really be successful.

But the amount of money already invested had left him agape in astonishment.

The key point was that Gu Chen seemed to not care at all, as if he had expected to spend this much money all along.

He didn’t know how Gu Chen could be so bold, but after watching him for a long time, every business deal he had made was indeed daring.

After delivering the traditional Chinese medicine to Meng Meng, Gu Chen returned home.

He now went every two days to deliver it, which was because Meng Meng’s condition had completely improved.

Although traditional Chinese medicine can cure diseases,

there’s a saying that goes, "All medicines have their toxins."

Drinking traditional Chinese medicine often isn’t good for the body in the long run.

When he got home and waited for Ji Pianran and the others to come back, they started dinner right away.

Everyone gathered around the table and began to eat.

"Tang Tang, tell Daddy quickly," Ji Pianran suddenly said to Tang Tang.

Curious, Gu Chen looked at Tang Tang, wondering what the little girl had not told him.

"Daddy, I won the first prize in the essay competition," Tang Tang quickly told Gu Chen.

After saying this, she continued to eat as if she hadn’t taken this minor award to heart.

"First prize in the essay competition? What did you write about?" he asked.

Tang Tang gave a vague reply, "Just an essay about Daddy. I wrote it casually, and then I won the prize."

"It’s really no big deal; the other participants were rather young."

After hearing her words, Gu Chen became genuinely curious.

Even though it was just a small contest held within the kindergarten,

since it was an award, Gu Chen felt it was necessary to praise Tang Tang.

"Come on, bring out the essay and let Daddy see how you wrote about him to win a prize. Did you say your dad’s love is as steady as a mountain?" he asked her, laughing.

If the essay was about him, then he really wanted to read it.

Tang Tang seemed a bit guilty upon hearing this.

"Oh, forget about it, I’ll show you when I win another prize," she quickly shook her head.

Seeing her act this way, Gu Chen knew something was off.

"What essay is it? Bring it here quickly," Gu Chen said directly.

Facing Gu Chen’s pressure, Tang Tang reluctantly went to her room with a gloomy face.

Not long after, she came back with an essay.

Gu Chen took the essay, and upon seeing the title, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"My... Tycoon Father?"

He looked at the title and then glanced at Tang Tang.

Immediately, Tang Tang lowered her head in embarrassment.
