Chapter 661: 656 telephone warning

When he arrived at the bar, he was surprised to find a bustling scene outside, quite different from the day the bar had opened.

The sight before him still seemed somewhat unbelievable.

In just a short two days without visiting, the bar had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Gu Chen parked his car by the roadside and then slowly walked into the bar.

After entering, he found that many customers were actually all sitting outside.

At this moment, Wei Dahong approached.

When Wei Dahong saw Gu Chen, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Boss, there are so many people at our bar now that customers are lining up," said Wei Dahong, unable to suppress her smile as she approached Gu Chen.

Gu Chen frowned.

The inside was already packed to capacity, which was truly unexpected.

To be frank, the level of spending here was not low.

Most of the customers here were either rich or noble.

There weren’t that many people like that in the same city.

Moreover, it was unexpected that in his little bar, these people had all gathered together.

For a moment, Gu Chen felt a sense of unreality.

He felt as if he had grasped the lifeline of all the wealthy people in Chuan City.

"Remember to control the customers inside the bar and make sure that no disturbances arise from drinking," he said.

Gu Chen wasn’t particularly concerned about whether the customers were queuing or not.

After all, there were no spare seats left inside the bar.

So under these circumstances, queuing was inevitable.

But actually, theoretically speaking, reserving a table at a bar should involve making a reservation.

It’s just that not everyone has a mobile phone yet.

Give it another two years, and this method of his could probably be implemented.

At this time, he walked inside the bar and scrutinized everything carefully.

Watching the chaotic revelry of everyone in the bar was a bit eye-watering.

However, he soon recognized some familiar figures inside the bar.

Some people had already become regular customers of the bar, and very dedicated ones at that.

It was as if they had been coming since the opening day to the present.

You could tell they were quite fond of the bar.

Gu Chen then looked at the drinks ordered at each table.

The prices of these drinks were not cheap.

The slightly better ones could already cost over three thousand yuan.

Beyond that, Gu Chen also noticed something else.

That was that almost every table consisted of members.

It was apparent that the membership system he had implemented was quite successful.

He lingered like a supervisor in the bar for a short while, then he left.

There was no point in staying any longer, since he could already be a hands-off manager.

After leaving the bar, he went directly to the construction site.

At this very moment, at Furong Mansion.

All the workers were working strenuously, drenched in sweat.

There were time restrictions for the construction project, and they had to complete the work within the specified time frame.

Gu Chen wasn’t here to supervise the workers.

Rather, he came to see if there was anything wrong with the design blueprints.

Even though it was a renovation, he had tweaked the layout of the community a bit.

He arranged it based on the patterns of luxury communities he remembered from his previous life.

"Even after ten years, this community won’t look too old."

When Gu Chen arrived here, he did not attract any special attention.

Because one could see that every worker here was extremely busy.

No one had the time to look around aimlessly.

At that moment, Gu Chen was just quietly watching, then he headed over to the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, the chefs and everyone else were preparing dinner.

For this kind of high-intensity work, it was certain they needed to eat more.

If there was no salt, their work efficiency would drop significantly.

After briefly looking around, Gu Chen planned to leave.

But just as he was about to step out of the construction site,

he suddenly saw two people up ahead, sneaking around stealthily, doing something secretively.

Out of curiosity, Gu Chen glanced over.

He quickly noticed one of them holding a camera.

Gu Chen knew—this was the unethical media coming to report again.

Seeing this, he did not go over to stop them, because it would have been pointless.

On the contrary, if he insisted on stopping them, he might even end up delaying himself.

Who knew what kind of story they would fabricate?

What if they accused him of attacking a journalist?

After thinking this over, Gu Chen simply got in his car and left.

As for the rest, he couldn’t be bothered to care.

He returned home, lay down beside Ji Pianran, and started to get ready to sleep.

The night looked calm, and Pian Ran’s mouth even curved slightly upwards while she slept.

However, once that day passed, and they woke up the next day, everything had changed.

Early in the morning, Gu Chen received a barrage of calls at home.

He didn’t understand what was going on, just heard the ding-dong of his living room phone ringing off the hook.

That sound was his telephone.

Groggily, Gu Chen climbed out of bed and walked over.

Once he picked up the phone, he heard a man’s voice coming from the other side.

"Hello, may I speak with Gu Chen?" The voice on the other end was very serious.

Curious, Gu Chen did not understand what this was about.

"I am Gu Chen, what can I do for you?" he asked the person on the other end of the line.

"My surname is Qian. Someone has accused you of maliciously monopolizing the market. You are expected to come to our office this afternoon."

Hearing the incredibly serious tone on the phone, Gu Chen became curious, not knowing where this was coming from.

Monopolizing the market? That sounded a bit strange to him—what market was being monopolized?

"Who are you?" Gu Chen asked in return.

Eventually, the man on the phone disclosed his job position and work ID to Gu Chen.

After hearing this, Gu Chen knew the person was not an impostor, but a genuine regulatory officer.

He felt even more at a loss, but since they had called, he knew he had no choice but to go.

There were still a few hours before noon, easily enough time to bridge the gap.

Still, he wondered who could have reported him?

And the monopolized market—what exactly was being monopolized?

He was filled with misunderstandings, yet he did not rashly rush off straight away.

Instead, he thought he’d make a phone call to inquire.

Starting with the first call, he directly dialed Brother Zhu Zi.

Asking him would likely yield better results than asking anyone else.

After dialing the number, it took only a few seconds to connect.
