Chapter 745: 740 Maotai White Wine Company

He had no choice but to proceed with this as a temporary solution, akin to buying time.

Because at this very moment, he truly had no other options.

For him, this was an extremely difficult problem to deal with.

Unlike Wei Tianfu, what he genuinely wanted at this time was to help Gu Chen.

As far as he was concerned, he and Gu Chen were already in the same boat.

So under these circumstances, he was very willing to help Gu Chen.

If Gu Chen were to stumble, it would be of no benefit to him at all.

Gu Chen, the person directly involved, was unaware of these intricate matters.

All he did at the moment was carry out what he could.

He went straight back to his house.

In the end, he picked up the landline phone at home and dialed a number.

Once the call connected, Gu Chen felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

Because he was not very sure whether this call would be useful or not.

The call was soon answered.

"Hello, this is Maotai White Wine Company Limited."

With the sound of that voice,

Gu Chen quickly replied, "My name is Gu Chen, I am a shareholder of the company."

Gu Chen said to the person on the other end. The woman on the phone showed an incredulous expression upon hearing this and even seemed to harbor a hint of suspicion. For a company like Maotai White Wine Company, which still wielded significant influence domestically, the claim that Gu Chen was a shareholder was hard for anyone to believe.

"I’m sorry, sir, but perhaps you are not very familiar with our company. Currently, we only have six shareholders in total."

At that moment, the woman on the phone was about to say that. The feeling she conveyed was that she considered Gu Chen nothing more than a scammer.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen too was not entirely sure.

Because he knew he had never confirmed this matter himself.

It was only that the system had informed him that he was already a shareholder, so he felt the system would not deceive him.

The reason he became a shareholder of this company was because of the reward he exchanged from the system’s rewards shop last time.

The reward was a full 20% of the company’s shares.

It could be said that this reward was extremely generous.

What did 20% represent? If calculated based on future market values, Gu Chen was already worth billions.

Of course, Gu Chen was not so quick to confirm it.

Because he knew that maybe things were not as he thought.

"Please verify it at the company, would you?"

Gu Chen spoke politely at this point, asking for verification since he believed the system would definitely not fool him.

After hearing this, the woman’s tone on the phone seemed a bit irked,

as if she thought that verification was somewhat superfluous.

But now that Gu Chen had mentioned it, she refrained from saying anything else.

"Then, sir, please hold for a moment."

After saying this, I exited the scene, leaving Gu Chen alone.

Soon after, this woman reported the incident to their department manager.

Upon hearing about the situation, the manager simply chuckled and didn’t take it seriously.

"Are you silly? Do you know what kind of company we are? Is it possible for our company to have a shareholder? Even if we did have shareholders, it wouldn’t be someone who randomly calls in like a stranger."

This manager didn’t believe a word of it, hence he reacted that way.

After he said this, the woman’s face turned red, as if she also realized her question was foolish and perhaps shouldn’t even have been reported.

"So, manager, should I just hang up his call?"

She asked the manager this.

After hearing this, the manager merely smiled faintly and then said, "If you really think he is a shareholder of our company, then you can report it to the company’s second-level manager."

"But you know how the temper of that person is; a slight annoyance could lead to an outburst of cursing, so I suggest you block your ears when you report it. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it."

Having said that, the woman hesitated, sensing something wasn’t quite right, and was well aware of the kind of personality the manager had.

Bearing in mind that we are now in a society governed by law, if it were the past, she believed the manager might have resorted to physical aggression.

With these thoughts, she dared not act rashly anymore.

She felt it was better to let it go; she didn’t want to stir up trouble or irritate that person. Although it might not lead to dismissal, a scolding was inevitable, and she thought it was really unnecessary to go up there just to get rebuked over such a trivial matter.

She then returned to her workstation, and quickly picked up the phone to give Gu Chen a response.

"I’m sorry, sir, but after verification, we couldn’t confirm your identity as a shareholder of our company."

The woman told Gu Chen this.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen was momentarily stunned; he could hardly believe it.

If he really wasn’t a shareholder of the company, could it mean that the system had deceived him? Yet, he always felt that the system wouldn’t go to such lengths.

"Are you sure you have checked carefully? Are you certain?"

Gu Chen asked this of her at this point.

When Gu Chen asked the question, the woman immediately seemed a bit guilty.

Nevertheless, she still firmly responded to Gu Chen.

"Sir, we have checked, and indeed you are not a shareholder of our company."

After saying this, Gu Chen fell silent for a moment.

In that instant, he didn’t know what to say. If he wasn’t actually a shareholder, then there was a serious problem with the system.

"Alright, thank you. I think I understand now."

After I finished the sentence, I promptly hung up the call.

After hanging up, Gu Chen immediately questioned the system.

"System, what’s going on? Are you starting to deceive now? They just verified, and I’m not a shareholder at the company."

Gu Chen asked the system somewhat speechlessly at this time, feeling that something must have gone wrong with it; otherwise, things wouldn’t be like this.

However, after he questioned the system, he received an unexpectedly firm response.

"All rewards of the system have been dispensed truthfully."

Hearing the system’s adamant stance, Gu Chen started to doubt for a moment.

Could it be that what the system said was true?

Could it be that he had indeed misunderstood the system?

At that moment, he wasn’t quite sure of himself.

"The system has indeed dispensed all rewards truthfully."

The system reiterated its positive response to him.

With so many detailed confirmations from the system, Gu Chen began to doubt anew.
