Chapter 709 - 704: Run at the first sign of trouble! Safety first!

Chapter 709: 704: Run at the first sign of trouble! Safety first!

Under Gu Chen’s earnest guarantee, Tangtang seemed to believe that Gu Chen would indeed not encounter any accidents.

"Daddy, remember, you also promised to go to the beach with me," she said to Gu Chen.

Ji Pianran nodded after hearing this.

"Right, the beach, don’t worry, Daddy will take you to the beach," he replied with a smile, clearly not forgetting what he had promised Tangtang.

"Honey, where are you going on your business trip?" Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen, her curiosity evident.

"A trip to Haicheng, it’s not too far away."

After he said this, Ji Pianran’s face relaxed slightly with a sigh of relief.

"Oh, that’s good then. It should be quite peaceful over there, right?" she inquired.

"Yes, the business environment there is quite decent. In theory, there shouldn’t be any major issues, so you can relax," he assured her.

Although Gu Chen said this, he still felt somewhat worried inside.

After all, Haicheng was unfamiliar territory, and as the saying goes, even a mighty dragon can’t suppress a local serpent.

Given his current situation, it could be very easy for an accident to occur, so Gu Chen couldn’t help but feel concerned.

"If you run into any problems, remember to call home," she told him.

"Don’t worry, there’s no rush; I’m planning to prepare tomorrow. Rest assured," he reassured her.

He pondered over whom to take with him.

He would definitely not do something as foolish as going it alone.

If something unexpected happened, he could end up dying in a strange land.

Given his current worth, as long as he didn’t do anything reckless his lifetime’s food and shelter were unlikely to be a concern.

"Be very careful with everything, especially in unfamiliar places where you never know what might happen. Remember that, okay?"

In that moment, Ji Pianran was like an elderly grandmother, advising Gu Chen earnestly.

She didn’t have any other intention; she simply hoped Gu Chen would stay out of harm’s way.

"Relax, your husband isn’t stupid. If they dare to make a move, I can always just run away, even though it’s a bit embarrassing," said Gu Chen with a chuckle.

Ji Pianran, however, looked very serious.

"Yes! Run if anything happens! There’s no shame in that! Life is more valuable than anything else; what use is pride then?

Remember, no matter what happens, in my heart you’ll always be my wonderful husband, and there’s never anything shameful about that," she stated earnestly, as if she was truly afraid something bad might happen to Gu Chen.

Originally, Gu Chen didn’t feel that there was much to worry about, but after hearing her words, he replied very seriously, "Don’t worry, no matter what happens, your husband will always come back alive."

As the two spoke, Tangtang chimed in as well: "Tangtang will always support Daddy too, Daddy is always a superhero in Tangtang’s heart!"

She said to Gu Chen, her little eyes seeming to encourage him.

After hearing that, Gu Chen smiled and gently patted her little head.

Taking advantage of the break in conversation, Gu Chen thought for a moment.

"By the way, wife, how’s your functional beverage coming along?" he quickly changed the subject, steering them away from the topic at hand.

Gu Chen felt the topic was a bit too serious to keep discussing.

Hearing about the energy drink matter, Ji Pianran suddenly heaved a sigh.

"It’s all right, we’ve added another hundred thousand yuan to the advertising investment, but the launch of the energy drink didn’t elicit any particularly strong response, and although it’s making money, the revenue it generates is less than one-tenth of what Old Wang’s does."

She said this helplessly, as if she also didn’t know exactly where the problem lay.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen directly said, "Keep promoting, we must tie the energy drink to sports, only after these two things are bundled together will the energy drink truly take off."

Gu Chen steadfastly chose to take the sports route.

In fact, Ji Pianran completely failed to understand why.

She couldn’t even grasp why Gu Chen was so insistent on bundling the energy drink with sporting events.

To Ji Pianran, wouldn’t it be fine to simply sell the energy drink as an ordinary beverage?

"Trust me," Gu Chen said to her.

Feeling Gu Chen’s unwavering gaze, Ji Pianran seemed to understand.

"Okay, I got it. I will definitely continue to work hard." She didn’t waste words at this time.

She directly agreed to the matter.

She trusted Gu Chen’s judgment, considering how he hadn’t made a single mistake out of the many times before.

Although she didn’t know how Gu Chen managed it, she was very aware that he had a business acumen beyond the reach of ordinary people.

With these encouragements, Ji Pianran grew even more determined.

Ji Pianran not trusting Gu Chen was, in fact, something he had anticipated.

Even in Gu Chen’s view, it was a very normal reaction.

For Gu Chen, the outcome of it all was inevitable.

As long as Ji Pianran persistently tied the functional drink to sports, she would undoubtedly soar in the future with the help of the functional drink.

However, to Ji Pianran, the future was still an unknown.

But Gu Chen was not in a hurry, as long as Ji Pianran did as he said, success was certain.

He believed Ji Pianran would listen to him, after all, she had witnessed his previous investment cases with her own eyes.

It was getting late, and Gu Chen was already planning to go to sleep. He called Ji Pianran before heading straight to the bedroom.

In the instant Gu Chen called out to her, Ji Pianran understood what he meant.

The two of them quickly sent Tangtang back to her room, and then they also returned to their own rooms.

For the next several long hours, it was time of happiness that Gu Chen and Ji Pianran spent together.

The day passed quickly, and the next day, Gu Chen went to the restaurant.

He came to the restaurant not for anything else but to see how Xiao Ping was doing with the cola chicken wings.

If they turned out well, he planned to add the cola chicken wings to the menu. If not, he would give it up and think of some other new dish to experiment with.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, he saw Xiao Ping busily at work.

She seemed incredibly busy.

It was clear to see that the kitchen was strewn with chicken wings, obviously Xiao Ping had been practicing for a long time.

After Gu Chen arrived, Xiao Ping immediately became very nervous.

"How does it feel? Are you doing well?" Gu Chen asked curiously at that moment.

As soon as Gu Chen spoke, Xiao Ping seemed even more nervous.

"It’s okay, just barely satisfactory," she replied.
