Chapter 753: Seven hundred and forty-eight: A tough Zhu Zi

"This guy really doesn’t know when to appreciate a toast and insists on being forced to drink penalty shots,"

Gu Chen said to Brother Zhu Zi with a nonchalant tone at this moment.

Brother Zhu Zi nodded, seemingly unsurprised by the current outcome of the negotiations.

"I was hoping this guy would have some sense, since it’s really not in his interest to keep this up. But it’s pretty clear that he is quite confident to continue like this,"

Brother Zhu Zi felt he had completely overestimated the guy’s character.

Considering Tong Jingxin came from a wealthy family, he thought, at the very least, he should have some basic sense of reason. But now he saw clearly that he had given him too much credit; the guy was just a rich second-generation who knew nothing worth a damn.

"Leave the next steps to me; I can handle this situation well,"

Gu Chen said to Brother Zhu Zi at this time.

Upon hearing this, Brother Zhu Zi furrowed his brows and gave Gu Chen a look. It was as if he doubted whether Gu Chen was serious or just bluffing.

He couldn’t comprehend what Gu Chen could possibly do in the face of such a predicament.

"This situation is too complex. You shouldn’t get involved anymore. After all, you have Ping’an Real Estate on your shoulders.

The Wei Family clearly doesn’t wish to get involved, so neither should you. Let me handle this, you don’t need to worry about it anymore. I’ll find a way to make this guy bug off quickly,"

he suddenly said to Gu Chen at this time.

He genuinely didn’t want Gu Chen meddling in this affair anymore.

However, although that’s what he thought, Gu Chen didn’t see it the same way.

To Gu Chen, he had a responsibility to see through everything happening at the moment.

After all, he was deeply involved in the matter.

"It’s fine; I can sell off Ping’an Real Estate. I don’t have to take this deal.

But under the current circumstances, I can’t let you shoulder it alone. Moreover, you haven’t done anything wrong. If we were to speak fairly, I should bear a greater responsibility for all this from start to finish,"

Gu Chen said, very rationally, fully aware of who the main responsible party for this issue was.

That’s why he spoke to Brother Zhu Zi like this at that time.

Brother Zhu Zi looked surprisingly taken aback upon hearing this, as if he hadn’t expected Gu Chen to step forward and voluntarily take on all the responsibility under these circumstances.

He thought he and Gu Chen were already in the same boat, but now that the boat was capsizing, Gu Chen was actually pushing it down.

"Brother, don’t talk like that. I’m not afraid of trouble. If this guy insists on making a fuss, then I’ll indulge him."

"Back in the day, I climbed my way up in society, and I wasn’t scared into who I am.

If he wants trouble, well then, let’s have it."

At this time, Brother Zhu Zi was the opposite of his usual demeanor.

Before, he always seemed to have the persona of a nice guy.

But now, there was a ruthless aura emanating from him.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Chen also realized, it indeed was as Brother Zhu Zi had said: anyone with a modicum of status in society today has gone through their share of troubles, big and small, in the past.

Especially in the current state of society, there’s no such thing as luck.

No one ever made it to the end purely by luck.

It was all about their own skills, capabilities, and strength.

He believed Brother Zhu Zi had seen his fair share of big moments to reach today.

"By the way, about your liquor company, what do you plan to do next?"

At this moment, Brother Zhu Zi suddenly remembered something and asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen shook his head after hearing that.

"I’ve just thought of a way and contacted one of my friend’s company to see if they can help or something. But it’s not certain yet; we will talk about it when the time comes."

At this point, Gu Chen did not mention the matter concerning the liquor company, only that it was his friend’s company.

"It’s better to bother one less person in such matters.

Although we are not afraid of the Tong Family, there are still many people who do not wish to provoke them."

That was what Brother Zhu Zi was advising Gu Chen at the time.

His meaning was very simple.

He feared that Gu Chen might trouble his friends too much, which could lead to harming them, and that could turn friends into enemies.

"Don’t worry, I have a clear idea about this kind of thing."

Gu Chen nodded in agreement at this moment.

Since there wasn’t much to talk about at the dinner table anymore, Gu Chen cleaned up and went back home.

When he arrived home, he saw Ji Pianran and Tangtang waiting for him on the sofa.

Ji Pianran was especially nervous and anxious at that time.

Ji Pianran seemed to breathe a sigh of relief only when Gu Chen came back home.

"How did it go? There weren’t any conflicts, right?"

As soon as she saw Gu Chen, she hurried up to him and carefully looked him over.

It was as if she was terrified that Gu Chen might have been injured.

Gu Chen shook his head after hearing this.

"Nothing major happened, just some trivial issues, but the conversation didn’t go very well."

Gu Chen shook his head at this time.

"It doesn’t matter, there was nothing much to talk about; as long as you didn’t encounter any trouble, that’s good."

As for the outcome of the negotiation, Ji Pianran really didn’t care. She was only concerned about Gu Chen’s safety, but seeing that Gu Chen was unharmed, she completely set her mind at ease.

"It’s late; let’s go to sleep."

Gu Chen said to her at that moment.

She nodded after hearing this and then went back to her room.

At this time, Gu Chen also directly turned on the computer and started searching online for information about the Tong Family.

If this were the future, such information would absolutely not be found on the internet, but now online regulation wasn’t so strict.

So, as Gu Chen searched online, he actually managed to find information about them.

It was through this search that he understood what kind of business the Tong Family was involved in.

This family was indeed quite capable, originally dealing in the steel industry.

Old Master Tong was a steel tycoon back in the day.

In that era, he had even studied abroad.

It was apparent their family was very well-off, and each member seemed like cultured scholars.

Nowadays, their business was no longer just in the steel industry; they also had involvement in real estate and the financial sector.

At a glance, they seemed like a huge business empire.

Gu Chen instantly understood why the Wei Family didn’t want to provoke them, and why Tong Jingxin was so rampant.
