Chapter 811: 806 Brother Zhu Zi visits

Normally, no visitors ever came to his house.

Going down now really wasn’t an option.

At that moment, he muttered helplessly to himself.

Given the current situation, he found it hard to have any interest anymore.

However, Gu Chen knew clearly that this was a very good opportunity for him.

He slowly opened the door at that time, only to see a very familiar figure standing there.

"Congratulations, congratulations! I took the time out of my busy schedule to come and congratulate you,"

Right then, Brother Zhu Zi stood there and said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen hadn’t expected his sudden visitor to be Brother Zhu Zi.

Until now, although Gu Chen had known him for so long, he had never actually visited Gu Chen’s place.

So at that moment, Gu Chen’s face was filled with surprise.

"Please come in, come in."

After Gu Chen said that, Brother Zhu Zi walked in as well.

Ji Pianran saw that a guest had arrived and quickly got up to join them.

"Let me introduce you, this is Brother Zhu Zi from Chuan City Bank,"

Gu Chen introduced him to Ji Pianran at that time.

Ji Pianran seemed somewhat surprised when he heard this.

Looking at Brother Zhu Zi in front of him, he hadn’t expected Brother Zhu Zi to be a bank worker.

"Hello, hello, I’ve long admired your reputation," he said very politely to Brother Zhu Zi then.

Brother Zhu Zi quickly waved his hands when he heard this, as if he didn’t care at all.

"Don’t be so formal, that’s too kind.

"I’ve known Gu Chen for such a long time, we’re all family here,"

Brother Zhu Zi decisively said to Ji Pianran at that time, appearing very familiar.

But his demeanor reassured Ji Pianran a lot since Brother Zhu Zi wasn’t putting on airs.

Generally, those who work in banks carry a bit of arrogance, especially those who have reached a position like Brother Zhu Zi; they are usually very exacting.

But looking at Brother Zhu Zi now, he felt that Brother Zhu Zi was very affable and approachable.

"Brother Zhu Zi, what made you suddenly decide to visit me today?"

Gu Chen asked him, puzzled at that moment.

Because this time he had come over unexpectedly, even a prior phone call would have been understandable to Gu Chen.

He had never mentioned before that he wanted to be at Gu Chen’s house.

"It’s nothing special; you just won some money recently.

And I’ve never been to your place despite wanting to visit for a long time.

I’ve always wanted to come over, and today I had some free time, so I thought I’d drop by and have a look,"

He explained his intentions to Gu Chen at that time.

It sounded like there was no official business, he just wanted to casually drop by.

"I thought something had happened,"

Gu Chen said at that moment.

"With your big brother here, what could possibly go wrong? Am I not allowed to come and see you, now that I, a whole living person, am here?"

At that moment, Brother Zhu Zi smiled at Gu Chen and teased him.

"As long as you like, Brother Zhu Zi, you can come anytime."

Gu Chen, however, appeared calm and not in a hurry.

He always felt that things were probably not as simple as Brother Zhu Zi had made them seem.

Brother Zhu Zi was a busy man, typically managing myriad affairs daily, with countless people queuing to see him. How could he possibly have time to suddenly visit Gu Chen’s home?

There wasn’t said to be another reason, but Gu Chen himself didn’t believe it.

So, in this moment, he chose to quietly wait, planning to see if Brother Zhu Zi would reveal his purpose.

"You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll go cook for you."

No matter his reason for coming, it was, after all, his first visit to his home, and Gu Chen felt hospitality was necessary.

This was basic courtesy. Brother Zhu Zi had been good to him for a long time; he couldn’t possibly change his friendly attitude toward Xiao Xin all of a sudden.

Just then, he saw the man smiling and saying, "I didn’t expect it, but your house is really quite large, certainly one of the biggest around."

That’s what he thought about Gu Chen’s everyday living environment.

"It’s not very big, just a typical place to stay."

Gu Chen said this very casually.

He truly felt there was nothing special about his little home.

Of course, for Gu Chen, it was special because it was home to Ji Pianran and his daughter, but for Brother Zhu Zi, it meant nothing.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Brother Zhu Zi directly contradicted him.

"I understand very well what the environment is like nowadays, and I can responsibly tell you that finding ten properties like yours in the entire city would be very difficult."

Given Brother Zhu Zi’s work, one could almost entirely trust what he said, especially in this regard.

So, at this time, there wasn’t any doubt.

Immediately after, Brother Zhu Zi continued, "Of course, this amount is nothing compared to what you won today; you could buy ten homes like this."

Gu Chen was very sharp, his intellect always on alert.

Just a moment ago, they were discussing the layout of the house, but now?

Brother Zhu Zi always seemed to inadvertently steer the conversation in this direction.

Thus, Gu Chen quickly guessed that this visit must be related to money.

Having listened to the conversation all this while, Ji Pianran couldn’t help but ask,

"Where did you win this money from?"

He was very curious about it.

At the same time, his gaze slowly turned towards Gu Chen.

It felt almost like an interrogation.

Gambling was certainly not a good habit, and Ji Pianran personally detested such vices.

"It’s not exactly winning; it was just a bet with someone, and I made a little profit."

Gu Chen noticed Ji Pianran’s unusual behavior, so he explained it to him this way.

After his explanation, Ji Pianran finally understood what had happened.

It was just a mere betting agreement, not a real gambling ring, so it didn’t matter to him.

"Little Brother Gu, what do you plan to do with this money now?"

At this point, it seemed Brother Zhu Zi could no longer hold his patience and brought the topic back again.

And this time, his approach was much more straightforward.
