Chapter 752: 747, if you can’t get through, then don’t talk about it!

After taking his seat, Gu Chen looked over the people Brother Zhu Zi had brought with him.

Among them were two burly men, and another one was also dressed in a black suit.

From the looks of it, their groups seemed quite evenly matched.

At this time, Brother Zhu Zi slowly took a seat next to Gu Chen as well.

At this moment, it was as if there was a chasm separating the two sides.

"Mr. Tong, we’ve almost finished discussing what needed to be talked about just now, and this whole matter is essentially a misunderstanding.

Being able to sit down together and resolve it amicably is obviously the best outcome.

There’s really no need to create a scene that would only serve to entertain onlookers at our expense. I believe that wouldn’t be good for you, nor for me, and even speaking for Gu Chen’s companies, it’s not favorable."

It was at this time that Brother Zhu Zi spoke earnestly to the person in front of him.

The person in front of him, upon hearing this, seemed to have a look of scorn on his face.

"A misunderstanding? He beat up my bodyguard, and you call that a misunderstanding?" Brother Zhu Zi appeared unyielding at this point.

"Mr. Dong, we have to be reasonable in what we do.

You’ve been harassing someone else’s wife, so it’s only normal that he fought back.

I’m sure that with your pride, Mr. Tong, if anyone dared to unabashedly harass your girlfriend, you’d definitely take action too, right?"

The words of Brother Zhu Zi were quite diplomatic at this moment.

Gu Chen could tell that Brother Zhu Zi was doing his utmost to deescalate the situation promptly.

However, Tong Jingxin in front of them didn’t seem willing to let the matter drop just like that.

"I’ve already mentioned my two demands just now.

But seeing as this fool didn’t hear it, I’ll repeat them again.

First of all, regarding Ji Pianran, I’ve just arrived in this unfamiliar place.

Having Ji Pianran accompany me, to show me around, would help me get to know some of the local specialties.

Then there’s the matter of the restaurant. Originally, you could have two restaurants; I don’t want both, but I want the franchise rights to this restaurant.

Lastly, I have another demand.

I want an additional one million for my emotional distress."

At this time, this guy laid out all his conditions very clearly.

As soon as Gu Chen heard the first condition, he knew there was no chance of a discussion.

The implication of having Ji Pianran accompany him was not lost on him.

And right after he finished saying that, even Brother Zhu Zi’s expression turned rather unpleasant.

"Mr. Tong, let’s not discuss Ms. Ji Pianran’s issue any further. It has nothing to do with her. She was already drunk to the point of unconsciousness at the time and was sent back by Mr. Gu.

If this is a matter between men, then let’s men handle it. Why keep involving a woman, what do you think I’m trying to say here?"

Brother Zhu Zi was surprisingly patient, even under these circumstances, he still spoke like this.

However, clearly, the person in front did not appreciate the consideration Brother Zhu Zi was offering him.

On the contrary, he seemed to muster up courage from somewhere, as if he was determined to fight Gu Chen to the bitter end.

Gu Chen didn’t understand if the guy had taken the wrong medicine.

"If you don’t want to talk, then there’s nothing to talk about. Let’s end this discussion here."

At this moment, he suddenly spoke as if he had no intention of continuing the conversation.

And from the beginning till now, Ji Pianran had not said a word after his initial unload, because he never thought the matter could be reconciled from the start.

At this moment, Brother Zhu Zi stood up abruptly, ready to leave.

But just then, Brother Zhu Zi quickly pulled Gu Chen back down, not allowing him to just walk away.

After that, he asked Tong Jingxin across from him in a very formal manner.

"Mr. Tong, if I haven’t misunderstood, you’re insistent on going head-to-head with us, right?"

His tone had suddenly become much tougher at this point, nothing like his earlier gentleness.

It felt as if he had become a completely different person in that instant.

"That’s right, that’s exactly what I mean." However, Mr. Tong seemed completely oblivious to the severity of the situation, still smiling as he spoke.

It felt as though he was deliberately provoking them.

After hearing his words, it was clear to see that Brother Zhu Zi had no pleasant expression on his face at that moment.

"Mr. Tong, I hope you won’t regret the decision you’ve made today."

Gu Chen had thought that Brother Zhu Zi might remain passive, but unexpectedly, at this juncture, Brother Zhu Zi suddenly toughened up.

Even Gu Chen was a bit surprised that Brother Zhu Zi had such a strong stance.

"What, are you planning to turn against us outright now?"

Even seeing Brother Zhu Zi get angry, it seemed the man didn’t care in the slightest.

It felt like pure mockery of Brother Zhu Zi.

However, Gu Chen was no fool, and he could clearly see what was happening.

He knew the man before him was deliberately looking for trouble with him.

"Alright, Mr. Tong, I am very sorry, and I think you’re somewhat pitiable.

We’ve done our utmost to prevent this issue from spiraling out of control.

But since you insist on it, we’ll have to see each other on the business battlefield.

However, I hope Mr. Tong you can remain this tough and also be prepared to accept the repercussions that will follow."

At this moment, Brother Zhu Zi suddenly flipped the table, showing no intention of further discussion.

Gu Chen didn’t expect Brother Zhu Zi to flip out faster than flipping through a book.

"Are you threatening me? Fine, let’s take it one step at a time and see who’s tougher."

At this time, Tong Jingxin suddenly became very aggressive.

It felt as if he was about to start a fight right there.

And at that moment, Gu Chen just gave a cold look in that direction.

The moment Gu Chen’s gaze fell upon him, the man immediately cowered.

He clearly remembered how Gu Chen had beaten him last time.

"Good mountains do not change, the rivers flow on; we shall wait and see."

This time, he chose not to continue with harsh words and left with his people.

The vast private room was left with just Gu Chen and Brother Zhu Zi remaining.

Both of them sat there, and quite tacitly fell into a profound silence.

It was as if they both had nothing left to say.
