Chapter 687: Six hundred and eighty-two, the He Family’s thousand gold has arrived

Whether judged by today’s aesthetic standards or by those of the future,

Gu Chen felt that all three of them truly possessed talent; the blueprints they designed would surely not become outdated even years later.

"Alright, then I’ll get their onboarding processed as quickly as possible. These three young people really are enthusiastic.

When I first met them, they were endlessly babbling at me,

You didn’t see it; the documents they prepared were practically higher than a wall."

Old Zhang sounded rather helpless on the phone.

Gu Chen smiled upon hearing this; young people filled with enthusiasm were exactly the kind of employees he wanted to recruit.

"Old Zhang, just put the stuff on the construction site for now. It doesn’t matter if something happens elsewhere, but there absolutely can’t be any trouble on the construction site," Gu Chen said to him earnestly.

Or one could say it was a reminder to Old Zhang.

To Gu Chen, whether it was an internet cafe or a nightclub, it was merely a matter of losing some money; losing money was just that.

But if something happened on the construction site, it wouldn’t be a trivial matter; it could even lead to imprisonment. He didn’t know if those bosses who attended the nightclubs had any plans to target his construction site.

However, one must always guard against others. He thought it best to have Old Zhang prepare a bit in advance, lest they be caught off guard and unable to react in time.

"Boss Gu, rest assured, leave this matter to me. I guarantee your satisfaction. I’ve been reminding the workers at the site every day, telling them to pay attention to safety.

Every step must follow our regulations, and they absolutely won’t do anything to violate them.

Even if they want to cause me trouble, they won’t be able to, unless they storm in and beat our people up."

Old Zhang paused for a moment and then continued, "But if they dare to do that, they might as well spend the rest of their lives eating prison meals."

After hearing this, Gu Chen truly felt at ease. In fact, aside from matters on the construction site, he could handle anything else.

After washing his feet, Gu Chen hung up the phone and went back to his room, lying in bed feeling utterly exhausted.

And so passed a rather tumultuous night.

That night, some rejoiced while others grieved; all three nightclubs had good business. With the bar closed, customers who had planned to go there had no choice but to attend the nightclubs instead.

It could be said that they were riding on the coattails of Gu Chen’s misfortune.

With the night over, when Gu Chen woke up the next morning, he was bombarded with calls from Brother Zhu Zi.

"What’s happened? I heard that those three made a move against you last night, targeting not just your nightclub but also affecting your other businesses."

There was a hint of concern in Brother Zhu Zi’s voice as he spoke to Gu Chen.

"Yeah, they caused disturbances at all my properties; they did nothing but stand there, blocking our entrance, preventing our guests from enjoying themselves."

After Gu Chen spoke, he could feel that Zhu Zi too seemed a bit anxious.

"This can’t continue; let me look into it and see what can be done to teach these three a lesson."

Brother Zhu Zi said to Gu Chen.

Curious about how Brother Zhu Zi planned to act, Gu Chen listened.

But he didn’t pry further; he believed that if Brother Zhu Zi said he could handle it, he must have a way.

"But, having said that, you should be more cautious recently. If these guys have made a move, it’s definitely not going to be as simple as that.

If I’m not mistaken, they must have prepared many other contingencies, probably aimed at you, and your family should be careful as well,"

he kindly warned Gu Chen at this moment.

Gu Chen sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"Let them do their worst, what else can they do? It’s not like they can kill me outright."

At this point, Gu Chen wasn’t taking their threats too seriously. He felt like he had a pretty good grasp on what these guys were capable of, and he didn’t think they would actually resort to taking someone’s life no matter what.

"In any case, the more careful you are, the more secure you’ll be. We’re out here trying to do business, let’s not put our safety at risk."

He continued to speak to Gu Chen in this way, and Gu Chen understood.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen really didn’t know what to do for a while, as if all his business had come to a standstill.

And just then, Gu Chen’s phone suddenly rang again.

He thought it might be Brother Zhu Zi who had forgotten to mention something.

After picking up the call, he heard Wei Tianfu’s voice on the other end.

"Old Master Wei is back, and, oh, that little lass from the He family has come as well. She’s asking for you by name. Go over to the house and check out the situation,"

After saying this to Gu Chen, Gu Chen was momentarily caught off guard. He had not expected the girl to arrive so quickly.

"Okay, I got it. I’ll head over now."

Last time they met, Gu Chen had said that whenever she came, he would take her on a tour around Chuan City.

Now, since he wasn’t busy, it was a good opportunity to host her as a guest in Chuan City today.

Driving through the streets, he sped towards the Wei family home.

When he arrived, he saw Old Master Wei sitting on the sofa with a slightly flushed face.

Gu Chen wasn’t sure what was up with Old Master Wei; could it be that the trip had caused some kind of altitude sickness? But the altitude over there was only a few hundred meters.

"Gu Chen!" He Jingmei called out to him as soon as she saw him.

"Welcome, welcome. It’s great that you’ve come. Was the drive over tiring?

I was thinking about going to pick you up, but you brought Old Master Wei over instead,"

Gu Chen was still smiling as he spoke to her.

He Jingmei seemed not to mind at all and said politely to Gu Chen, "It doesn’t make any difference who does the driving, right? Besides, I didn’t have much going on recently, so I thought I’d come and see your place."

As He Jingmei spoke, there was a look of anticipation in her eyes, as if visiting here was something she had long desired.

"Well, I’m free today as well. How about I show you around?" Gu Chen asked her.

"Hehe, I was hoping you’d say that!" He Jingmei expressed her interest to Gu Chen, and by her expression, it seemed like she had indeed thought about this for a while.

"Then let’s go have a meal first," Gu Chen suggested to her.

"Let’s go to your restaurant, the one you told me about last time."
