Chapter 708: 703 Chamber of Commerce calls

She retracted the very fierce look in her eyes, and she appeared to be just an ordinary, unremarkable large dog.

At this moment, Gu Chen asked the system, "System, when will my next task be issued?"

Gu Chen urgently needed the system’s help at this time.

However, her question did not receive a response from the system.

This made Gu Chen feel very strange; she didn’t know whether the system didn’t want to answer her or if the question was a secret.

Seeing that the system didn’t even reply, Gu Chen simply stopped asking. She felt that maybe the question was truly not meant for her to know.

By the time evening arrived, Ji Pianran and Tangtang came back.

After the two of them returned and saw the two new family members at home, they were both extremely surprised.

Especially Tangtang, who immediately rushed towards Jia He when she saw it.

"Daddy, is this the little pet you got for me?" Tangtang asked Gu Chen while petting Jia He’s head.

"Yes, from now on she’s going to be a new member of our family."

Gu Chen hadn’t expected Tangtang to like dogs so much.

At that moment, Jia He, being the dog in question, when she felt Tangtang’s gentle little paws stroking back and forth on her head, she also quickly cozied up to Tangtang.

Her little demeanor was as though she clearly understood that in this family, she could offend anyone but Tangtang.

As for the little white dove, it made no fuss and just stood on Gu Chen’s shoulder, as if it had unwaveringly chosen Gu Chen.

"Why did you suddenly want to keep a dog?" Ji Pianran now asked Gu Chen, curious.

She had never heard before that Gu Chen liked dogs.

"Isn’t it because I’m afraid Tangtang will be bored?"

Having said that, Ji Pianran seemed to understand.

"Then what’s with the dove? Are you planning to retire early?"

Ji Pianran was obviously teasing a bit.

Pigeons are usually associated with those sixty or seventy-year-old retired men.

It was quite odd for someone as young as Gu Chen to start keeping pigeons.

"It’s nothing, isn’t the little pigeon cute? I think it’s nice."

At this time, Gu Chen appeared very casual; taking care of these little creatures was not a hassle for her.

"As long as you like it, that’s fine. I actually do hope you retire so you can just stay at home and play with birds every day."

She spoke genuinely and with emotion when she brought up this topic.

Gu Chen was startled for a moment when she heard that, and for a time even unsure what to say.

In her heart, she too had thought about how nice it would be to retire directly.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t retire just yet – not everything could be negotiated, and the three-year project of Ping’an Real Estate meant that she wouldn’t be able to stop for the next three years.

"There will be such a day eventually. You’ll go out and dance at the square, and I’ll stay home and raise birds."

After saying this, Ji Pianran grew curious, "What kind of dance is square dance?"

To the current Ji Pianran, square dancing was clearly an advanced topic.

Hearing that, Gu Chen just laughed and didn’t bother to explain what square dancing really meant.

"You’ll understand eventually," said Gu Chen.

Hearing this, Ji Pianran didn’t press on, though she did find it a bit odd.

She noticed that Gu Chen had somehow become very secretive.

While Tangtang was doing her homework, Jia He obediently sat by her side.

The feeling was incredibly warm, as if she had lived with Jia He since she was little.

Gu Chen was just cooking here.

It was when she was busy with these matters that the system’s prompt suddenly appeared.

"Please host, rear poultry for more than ten days, rewards will be issued upon completion of the task."

The system’s task came very unexpectedly.

Gu Chen hadn’t expected such a simple task—simply to rear poultry for merely ten days.

Merely ten days were nothing to Gu Chen.

Just as Gu Chen was pondering these matters, suddenly the phone in the living room rang.

Not only did Gu Chen feel nervous the moment the phone in the living room rang, but even Pian Ran, as if affected by Gu Chen’s mood, also became nervous as soon as the phone sounded.

Because for such a long time, Pian Ran had come to understand that whenever this phone rang, trouble was inevitable for Gu Chen.

Gu Chen now walked over and answered the phone.

A voice then came through from the other end.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Mr. Gu?"

"It is me, what do you want?"

"Hello Mr. Gu, I’m the Director of Honor from Qianyang Commerce, formally inviting you to Tianhua Hotel in Haicheng at 3 p.m. The Day After Tomorrow."

Upon hearing that it was Qianyang Commerce on the line, Gu Chen frowned slightly.

"I understand."

After that, Gu Chen hung up the phone directly.

She hadn’t expected Qianyang Commerce to contact her so quickly.

It was much sooner than she had anticipated; she had thought she’d have to wait at least a few more days.

It seemed that this was a decision made collectively by the three nightclubs and Qianyang Commerce.

Going to Haicheng, Gu Chen didn’t know whether this could be considered a setup or not, but she thought it improbable that Qianyang Commerce could have gotten to this point today solely by such means.

"Did something happen, husband?"

At this moment, Pian Ran immediately inquired of Gu Chen.

"Nothing much, just a business meal. The Day After Tomorrow, I’ll be going out of town, so you all will have to handle the meals by yourselves."

Gu Chen said this to Pian Ran.

Although Gu Chen appeared very relaxed, as if it were an insignificantly small matter,

Pian Ran wasn’t foolish; she knew there were many issues burdening Gu Chen recently.

And each one was definitely filled with danger.

She was very concerned at the moment, looking at Gu Chen, wanting to help but finding herself entirely unable to do anything.

Gu Chen’s pace was simply too fast, and she just couldn’t keep up with his rhythm.

Often, when she saw Gu Chen in trouble, all she could do was watch helplessly, unable to lend any real assistance.

"Be careful, husband. And if it gets too much, just come back home."

She advised Gu Chen at that time.

"Dad, be careful, okay? Business is like a battlefield." Surprisingly, Ping Ping suddenly came out with this saying.

"Where did you learn that from?" Gu Chen asked her curiously.

"A classmate told me it’s what her dad said. A few years ago when he was in business, he offended someone and then was beaten to death."

As Ping Ping spoke, Gu Chen frowned instantly.

"Don’t worry, Ping Ping, dad won’t let anything happen."

Gu Chen could obviously feel Ping Ping’s concern at that moment, so she immediately reassured her.
