Chapter 618: 613 My Billionaire Dad

I heard there’s another subsidy coming down.

Gu Chen looked at him curiously, ready to hear how much.

"It seems like the six million from last time is still untouched, so this..."

Before he could even finish his sentence.

Gu Chen immediately smiled and said, "Thanks a lot. I’ve been worrying about money issues.

The company has been asking me for money all the time, and I haven’t had the time to go there."

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Wu Dazhu could only swallow back the words he was about to say.

Then he said to Gu Chen, "This time the subsidy is two million yuan, mainly for construction materials, but it’s not going into your bank card this time. Instead, it’s going straight into your corporate account."

When he heard it was going into the corporate account, Gu Chen immediately lost interest.

Money in the corporate account meant it was the company’s money.

Although Gu Chen was the company’s chairman and the sole person in charge,

that didn’t mean he could move the company’s money around at will.

Because the money belonged to the company, not to him personally.

Of course, he could decide where the money would go, such as moving it into his own account through dividends or directly as salary, but that would mean he’d also have to pay additional taxes.

However, the company’s money could be used to purchase real estate and other things, which could save a significant amount of expenses.

"Then thanks a lot, Brother Zhu Zi."

No matter what, it was free money, so Gu Chen was still quite happy about it.

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

"You, I really don’t understand why you keep so much money.

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

Gu Chen immediately started to complain upon hearing this.

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

Later, the music station cost another hundred thousand.

Adding up labor and material costs, as well as the wines ordered for the cellar.

It hasn’t even opened for business yet, but at the very least, several hundred thousand has already been spent."

Hearing that Gu Chen had already invested such an astonishing amount in opening a bar,

he looked at Gu Chen somewhat incredulously, not expecting Gu Chen to be willing to spend so much.

"You know, with the money you’ve invested, you could have started a proper company," he said to Gu Chen.

"A company doesn’t make as much as a bar," Gu Chen said with a casual smile.

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

A bar making more money than a company, how could that be.

But he didn’t ask any further and instead brought up the matter of the winery.

"According to what was said before, I’m also supposed to contribute a part for the winery. Just tell me the amount, and I’ll transfer it to you."

He said this to Gu Chen.

This had already been agreed upon by the two of them before.

Gu Chen, hearing this, smiled casually, "Just transfer a small sum of fifty thousand. I haven’t calculated the specifics, but those wines definitely cost more than one hundred thousand."

Upon hearing it was fifty thousand, Wu Dazhu didn’t hesitate at all.

He took out fifty thousand yuan from his office drawer and handed it to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen reached out and took the fifty thousand.

The reason he was actually asking Wu Dazhu for this money was to ensure smoother cooperation in the future.

He wasn’t truly concerned about a mere fifty thousand yuan.

But if he didn’t take the fifty thousand now, it would be hard to continue working with Wu Dazhu later on.

At that moment, Gu Chen seemed to suddenly remember something, then he quickly turned to Wu Dazhu and said.

"Brother Zhu Zi, this money is yours, right?" he teased.

After hearing this, Wu Dazhu immediately rolled his eyes. "I’ve worked in Chuan City for so many years, how could I not understand the rules? Of course, it’s my own money."

Gu Chen was just joking around and didn’t really think Wu Dazhu would use public funds for personal matters.

"Alright, then I’ll take my leave, tomorrow evening you can just go directly there."

Gu Chen didn’t say anything more and left the place.

Wu Dazhu, sitting in the office, watched as Gu Chen’s figure disappeared.

He couldn’t help but sigh.

He had no idea whether Gu Chen’s bar could be successful or not.

But the money that had already been invested made him gasp.

The key thing was that Gu Chen seemed not to care at all, as if he had anticipated spending so much.

He didn’t know how Gu Chen could be so bold, but every business deal he had seen Gu Chen make over this period had been characterized by big risk-taking.

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

Now, he was going every two days, a schedule set after Meng Meng’s condition had significantly improved.

It’s true that Chinese herbal medicine can treat diseases,

but as the saying goes, "All medicines have their toxins."

Drinking herbal concoctions often is ultimately not good for one’s health either.

When he got home, he waited for Ji Pianran and the other seven to return before they had dinner.

Everyone sat around the table and started to dig in.

"Tang Tang, tell Daddy quickly." Just then, Ji Pianran suddenly turned to Tang Tang and said.

Gu Chen looked at Tang Tang curiously after hearing this, wondering what the little girl hadn’t told him.

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

After saying this, she continued to eat as if this small award didn’t really matter to her.

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

Tang Tang mumbled, "It was an essay about Daddy. I just wrote something, and then I won the prize."

"Actually, it’s no big deal. The other participants were all pretty young."

After hearing her words, Gu Chen became genuinely curious.

Although it was just a small essay competition held within a nursery,

it was still a little reward, and Gu Chen felt it was necessary to give Tang Tang some praise.

"Quick, bring out your essay and let Daddy see how you wrote about him that you managed to win a prize. Did you say Daddy’s love is as solid as a mountain?" he asked Tang Tang with a smile.

Since the essay was about Daddy, he was even more eager to read it.

Upon hearing that, Tang Tang seemed somewhat guilty.

"Never mind, never mind, I’ll show it to you when I win another prize," she hurriedly shook her head.

Seeing her act like this, Gu Chen knew something was up.

"What kind of essay is it? Bring it out quickly," Gu Chen said firmly.

Faced with Gu Chen’s insistence, Tang Tang grimaced and then went to her room.

Not long after, she came back with an essay.

When Gu Chen took the essay and saw its title, for a moment he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"My... Wealthiest Father?"

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

Tang Tang immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
