Chapter 825: 820 Never forget your original intention

To be fair, Gu Chen really had helped him a lot.

Just a few months ago, Old Zhang was still running around with his renovation team, constantly working with all kinds of lime, wood, and pungent chemical gases.

But now, Old Zhang not only owned a big house, but he also had cars, brand-name watches, and was adorned with gold and silver jewelry.

The aura about him had completely transformed into that of a company president.

Thinking back to that day at the press conference,

Old Zhang wore the suit he had on his wedding day, and the scene looked so wholesome and authentic.

However, Old Zhang now seemed to have lost that feeling from back then, and he instantly gave Gu Chen the impression of a successful entrepreneur.

Of course, he didn’t think that any of this was bad, but he did feel somewhat estranged from the current Old Zhang.

"Alright, find some time to spend more with your kids. Don’t devote all your time to work; work is only a part of life, while family is everything,"

Just like last month, Gu Chen offered this piece of advice to Old Zhang before leaving.

He hoped Old Zhang would truly value his family and not neglect them, forgetting to educate his children.

He knew that if Old Zhang didn’t do this now, in ten or twenty years,

Old Zhang might have made a fortune,

But his family would no longer be the solid rock it had been in poverty.

It’s possible that his children would gradually become distant from him; even if they all lived together, when his children looked at him,

They might see him as a stranger.

Even knowing that they were related by blood, no matter what, their actual relationship couldn’t be like that of normal father and son.

This was what genuinely concerned Gu Chen because he felt that such a scenario was very likely to happen.

Not to mention the future, even now, many families suffer from poor relationships between older and younger generations.

And most importantly, if a child, at the crucial moment they need companionship, doesn’t receive it, they might become completely desensitized.

Desensitization is when a person thinks of something,

Initially, they might cry or get angry because of it,

But as time passes and they think about it too often,

When they recall it again, they feel nothing towards it, becoming completely numb.

And once their parent-child relationship reaches this point, it’s truly over for the family.

"Don’t worry, Chairman, I understand all these principles,"

Old Zhang said to Gu Chen at this moment.

If it wasn’t for the smell of alcohol still lingering on Old Zhang,

Gu Chen might have actually believed him.

He didn’t know how else to continue advising Old Zhang, anyway, he had said all there was to say, including everything he said today, which he had already mentioned last month.

But now, Old Zhang was immersed in his work,

Unable to return to a normal life, especially since the transition from poverty to wealth hadn’t taken very long,

It had only been a little over a month.

That month brought tremendous changes, and he might not be ready to adapt yet.

Especially since he was currently enjoying the benefits of the qualitative changes in his life,

Something he never even dared to dream of, and possibly something he couldn’t see even on television. Although Gu Chen had never attended any business banquets at Ping’an Real Estate Reality Center,

But Gu Chen could guess a thing or two.

If he was not mistaken, there were definitely countless fine wines and beautiful women at the business banquets now.

"Old Zhang, there are many temptations in society, and drinking is okay,

but you must always remember your own moral baseline. Once we violate our moral baseline, we will completely succumb.

By then, it will be too late for salvation.

A person’s change often happens in an instant; once someone changes, it’s too late for regrets.

Maybe you are not like your former self now.

But you must always remember the baseline and original intent in your heart.

Never forget who stood by your side when you were at your most destitute."

Gu Chen had been promoted to be his current direct supervisor.

He felt it was necessary to help him rebuild his own moral baseline.

Between fine wines and beautiful women, Gu Chen hoped he would not succumb like this.

Because once he succumbed to wine and women, his entire being would be ruined in the end.

Moreover, the most crucial point was, once he fell at his moral baseline, he might completely act out of line in other aspects as well.

For example, as a member of Ping’an Real Estate, one could say he was the person with the greatest power when Gu Chen was not there.

He could sway major and minor affairs of Ping’an Real Estate with just a word.

So, if he succumbed morally, might there be a possibility that, in the future, while carrying out company work, he might suddenly go against his work intentions?

By that time, whether it’s money, women, or those flatteries,

all of these could likely lead him to betray his original intent and simultaneously betray Ping’an Real Estate.

Gu Chen did not distrust him but rather did not want him to become that way; that’s why he was saying this to him now.

He also nodded at this moment, understanding that everything Gu Chen said was for his benefit.

"Chairman, rest assured, no matter the circumstances, I will never forget what I should do.

I will definitely not do anything that goes against my own morals.

Regarding this, Chairman, I will set aside a time each day to push myself to reflect on the things I’ve done during this period.

I will constantly check myself to make sure I do not engage in any inappropriate actions that might delay everything."

He himself was a smart person, not a fool.

Because if he were a fool, he wouldn’t have been able to lead that renovation team in the first place.

Now Gu Chen had said all these words to him, and he understood all the implications behind them.

He understood all of Gu Chen’s worries and concerns about him.

He knew what he could and could not do.

"With your words, I am relieved. The reason I’ve said so much is just to tell you, never forget your original intent."

At this point, Gu Chen did not continue to nag any further.

As long as he could understand these things by himself, Gu Chen felt there was absolutely no need to say the rest.

Old Zhang escorted Gu Chen all the way to the outside of the company.

Of course, the affairs of the office building were entirely left to him to handle.
