Chapter 767: 762 Investigation into Gu Chen’s Family Background

Having requested the phone call, Gu Chen felt utterly calm inside after hanging up.

He didn’t find this sort of call to be anything out of the ordinary.

It was only the concern shown by the chairman that warmed his heart.

The chairman indeed lived up to his title, being highly intelligent in both speech and conduct, handling affairs impeccably, leaving no room for criticism.

About the small banquet tomorrow in Yun City, Gu Chen actually harbored some expectation in his heart.

However, his expectations were not very high.

The reason was quite straightforward—he was well aware of the environment Little Mouse Company was currently in. If the Little Bunny Company here hadn’t been involved in such a mess,

Even if they had wanted to invest, Gu Chen wouldn’t have accepted their investment.

After all, Gu Chen was not short of money; Gu Chen’s house was like a money-printing machine. How could it possibly need someone else’s investment?

But now, for those investors, they were too scared to invest.

Because they all knew well that Gu Chen had offended someone.

If they invested in Gu Chen and couldn’t weather the storm,

All their money might just go down the drain, so at this time they needed to be cautious and deliberate further.

No matter who handed over the money to Gu Chen, it could be said that he was in a difficult position.

Fortunately, he himself had a substantial amount of money, which allowed the company to survive this tough period.

At this moment, Gu Chen felt immensely relieved.

He was grateful that he had accumulated a significant amount of savings over a long time.

If it weren’t for this reserve, his Little Mouse Liquor Company would have faced sanctions,

It might not have taken long to go bankrupt, but what about now?

His Little Mouse Liquor Company was not only unharmed but thriving daily with new ideas and creativity.

At this moment, wasn’t Gu Chen busily working on expanding the business for Little Mouse Liquor Company?

This was definitely something other companies under him didn’t have; how many company chairmen could earn a hundred thousand a day,

And still be bustling around in the streets and alleys, looking for so-called investors for their own company?

This seemed somewhat bizarre, and yet, Gu Chen was doing exactly that.

The only difference in consciousness was that Gu Chen never begged or forced others

To get to know his company. It was as if he just let things take their course.

If you were interested, he would explain; if not,

He wouldn’t utter a single unnecessary word. This seemingly passive yet proactive attitude made many people envious.

Everyone wished to live a life like Gu Chen’s.

But that was not so easy. In this society, rejecting others often comes with a cost, and a small refusal like Gu Chen’s back then could potentially bring a catastrophic blow to him.

At this moment, Gu Chen was in a very happy mood, even showing a slight hint of joy.

For him, everything that was happening seemed like a pleasant surprise.

So under such circumstances, how could he possibly not be happy?

And so, Gu Chen quickly fell into a peaceful sleep.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Maotai Liquor Company couldn’t sleep at all.

At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa, his face etched with hesitation.

The man standing opposite him was none other than the one who had answered Gu Chen’s call last time.

"I hadn’t expected the situation to be so complicated.

Mr. Chairman, I’ve asked friends and pulled strings to inquire about it, and it sounds like their conflict dates back to their time in Haicheng.

The Little Mouse Company had wanted to enter Haicheng back then, but they offended Tong Jingxin at the Qianyang Business Association, so they never managed to get in," the man reported to the chairman.

The chairman nodded after hearing this, looking as if he understood and knew everything,

but there was a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

"There’s no need to tell me the rest; I’m fully aware of everything.

Did you find out anything about Mr. Gu’s family background?"

At this, he asked a second very crucial question regarding Gu Chen’s family.

For he was keen to know what kind of family Gu Chen came from.

Otherwise, how could someone so young amass such wealth?

If he were to transfer this villa to him, then Gu Chen would own his first luxury villa as a young man, which would certainly be explosive international news.

After hearing this, the man nodded and then, looking earnestly at the chairman, he said,

"Mr. Chairman, after investigating, I’ve found that Mr. Gu comes from an ordinary family.

He has a wife and a child.

However, what’s surprising to us is that his wife happens to be classmates with Tong Jingxin of the Tong Family.

Moreover, they had a class reunion not long ago, which ended on a sour note."

This was how he reported to the chairman before him.

The chairman showed a slight hint of surprise on his face after hearing this,

as if he had never imagined Gu Chen’s family background to be so modest.

Logically speaking, shouldn’t Gu Chen at least be the heir to a company worth billions?

He had even considered whether Gu Chen’s family had purposely sent him out to gain experience, planning to call him back when he reached a certain age.

But upon learning about Gu Chen’s family background and that he was already married with a child, he was no longer as serious about this possibility.

Once married with children, it meant that virtually everyone would know, and the influence of the God of War would not be small; thus, any threats would not be of concern.

But if it’s merely an ordinary family background, how did Gu Chen become so wealthy?

This remained the only confusion in his mind that he couldn’t understand.

He felt that theoretically, Gu Chen shouldn’t be wealthy.

Because if he were, it would simply be terrifying, signifying at least one thing: this fellow’s resilience was performing at its peak.

Many things did not align with his initial speculations.

Yet the chairman was not discouraged, nor did these discoveries change his opinion of Gu Chen.

The man standing in front of him watched the chairman quietly, eager to see what steps the chairman would take next—as if he were learning.

"We’ll make further contact tomorrow, and then we should have a better grasp of the situation.

Although it’s a partnership, we should still do our due diligence," the chairman decided.
