Chapter 691: 686 I’ll take care of this matter!

Hearing that she wanted to retaliate against Gu Chen, he looked at her, puzzled, not understanding what she meant.

"Retaliation? How can you retaliate? I’ve never been involved in those messy businesses locally, so I don’t have anyone I can use at the moment. I’ve already contacted some friends to see if they have any solutions."

When Gu Chen discussed this matter, she felt somewhat pitiful. Others, like wealthy tycoons, would have a bunch of subordinates ready to respond and attack at their beck and call.

Whereas she was like a lone commander without an army.

The only friend who might be of use was Old Yuan, but Gu Chen didn’t want to bother her anymore.

Her local influence was limited, after all. Old Yuan wasn’t a local either,

She still remembered the first time she met Old Yuan, who had just moved here; the help she could muster in this place was likely very limited as well.

She didn’t want to fail to help herself only to end up harming Old Yuan instead.

So far, she hadn’t told anyone about this matter, except for Brother Zhu Zi, and now, the person in front of her, He Jingmei.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t have people; I have people and I will help you," He Jingmei suddenly declared with utter assurance to Gu Chen.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen was truly taken aback. She looked at He Jingmei, not understanding her intentions.

"Although I don’t know many people, dealing with this little trouble is no problem, even if they are from out of town," He Jingmei said with certainty to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, observing He Jingmei still looking somewhat like a student, couldn’t fathom what kind of social connections He Jingmei could possibly have in society.

"Just leave this matter to me; I guarantee to take care of it perfectly," He Jingmei said at that moment.

Initially, Gu Chen was going to say there was no need to trouble herself, as she didn’t truly believe He Jingmei could really be of help.

What if He Jingmei ended up calling her brother directly? Then, how would her brother think, and wouldn’t Gu Chen be deceiving her sister?

Therefore, she didn’t really want her help, mainly because she was too young and didn’t seem experienced.

Yet, stubbornness was written all over He Jingmei’s face at that moment, as if she wouldn’t be able to eat for days if she didn’t get involved.

"These people are just too outrageous. Even with a powerful background, what does it matter in today’s world?" He Jingmei said indignantly on behalf of Gu Chen.

Although Gu Chen and He Jingmei hadn’t known each other for long, possibly less than a week, from He Jingmei’s perspective, it seemed as though they had known each other for countless years.

Only a friendship nurtured over many years would possibly lead to such support at this moment.

Though Gu Chen didn’t say much, she was very moved inside, as anyone who dared to proactively stand up and help her was undoubtedly kind-hearted.

"It’s okay; don’t take these things too seriously. Today, our main task is to ensure you have some fun. As for the rest, let’s talk about it later," Gu Chen said to her at that moment. She didn’t want to use her connections, chiefly because she believed that He Jingmei’s concern might well be due to her brother’s influence.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got this handled. Your bar will operate as usual tonight, and we’ll see if they dare to cause any trouble. If they do, I’ll make sure they regret it, trust me!"

At that moment, He Jingmei’s face was filled with unwavering determination, radiating immense confidence. She looked as though she had been through the wringer in society for many years, like a wily old fox.

For a moment, Gu Chen felt as if she was looking at Tang Tang, who had the same demeanor when she was the queen bee in kindergarten.

"I ate and drank at your expense today, and I honestly felt a bit guilty about it, so I’m really glad to be able to help you out with this little favor. We’re friends, not business partners. Helping each other out is what friends do, isn’t it?"

She spoke earnestly to Gu Chen, who nodded in response, finding her words to be quite truthful.

"Then I truly appreciate your help, but if there’s any difficulty or resistance with this matter, please don’t force yourself. I can figure out another way on my own," Gu Chen said.

Gu Chen didn’t continue to refuse her kindness, but made it clear that she should stop if any problems arose.

She didn’t want to drag this young girl into trouble, as it would be a hassle if it caused her brother any headache.

However, after Gu Chen had spoken, He Jingmei across from her didn’t seem to be listening seriously at all. Her expression was still determined, as if she was set on handling the issue herself to the very end.

Gu Chen grew curious about what kind of social connections He Jingmei had to influence people across cities like that.

Gu Chen thought about it and, although she was curious, refrained from asking any more about it.

After finishing their coffee and meal, He Jingmei suddenly declared that she wanted to go to the hotel.

Gu Chen was puzzled, as He Jingmei had seemed very interested just moments ago, but now suddenly wanted to return to the hotel.

Not thinking too much of it, and assuming she might be tired from the long day of shopping, Gu Chen took He Jingmei to the best local hotel.

Once Gu Chen had left, He Jingmei immediately picked up the hotel’s phone and began calling her contacts.

Gu Chen was unaware of these developments. Instead of going anywhere else, she headed straight for the internet cafe.

The troublemakers in the internet cafe from the day before had caused a minor loss for Gu Chen, a rare event in her normally profitable business. She noticed, however, that losses were usually tied to people stirring up trouble.

Upon arriving, she found the internet cafe bustling during the daytime, business as usual.

The prices at the internet cafe had dropped significantly. It was no longer forty yuan an hour but had been halved to twenty yuan, making it more affordable.

The price reduction was timely, and she also wanted to take care of the existing internet cafe patrons—not everyone could afford such high daily expenses.

Lowering prices wasn’t a loss for Gu Chen, though, because she had already made back her initial investment. Now, all the money coming in was pure profit, without exception.

The internet cafe’s operation was fairly normal, and the number of customers continued to increase daily.

The rapid advancement of the internet was evident; a month ago, most people were just browsing web pages, but now, many had started playing small online games.

And the charm of gaming is tremendous. When someone sees another person playing a computer game, they’re often inclined to give it a try themselves.
