Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away

Chapter 834: Eight hundred and twenty-nine Old Wang was imitated!

He had a great admiration for Gu Chen in this respect.

Gu Chen’s performance had been an eye-opener for him.

Gu Chen made him realize that at his age, he could still possess such a steady presence.

"Director Gu, may I ask you a question?"

At this moment, he posed the question to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen looked at him with curiosity, not understanding what question he might have.

"It might be a bit presumptuous, but I’m really too curious.

I know that curiosity killed the cat in society.

But after all, we are about to become family.

Oh no, we are family now.

Could you tell me how exactly you made all this money?"

Right then, he directly voiced his greatest perplexity.

That was, he didn’t understand how Gu Chen could be so wealthy.

No matter how you looked at it, Gu Chen’s ability to produce those millions meant that he must have at least tens of millions in his hands.

And it was definitely not just ten million, but rather tens of millions at least.

It made him feel very perplexed. How could someone of Gu Chen’s age possibly have that much money? Unless Gu Chen’s family background was rather extraordinary.

But previously, Gu Chen had appeared on television, and he had learned a bit—that Gu Chen didn’t come from a particularly distinguished family.

And if Gu Chen really did come from an extraordinary family, then he wouldn’t have been on television.

At that time, the media was nearly unanimous in speaking ill of Gu Chen.

Even a fool could deduce that Gu Chen certainly wasn’t someone with a big background.

"I would only say it’s luck and coincidence," Gu Chen maintained his original viewpoint, believing it was just luck.

After all, getting to live again was in itself a manifestation of luck.

"Director Gu, you’re really too humble." At that time, hearing Gu Chen’s response, he just gave a casual smile.

Of course, he didn’t take Gu Chen’s words at face value.

He wasn’t a fool; he could sense it.

Gu Chen had dodged his question just now.

Since it was so, he didn’t press further.

Because to continue asking would be a sign of not using his head.

Everyone has secrets, and he guessed Gu Chen might have his own as well.

If Gu Chen truly didn’t have an extraordinary background,

yet still possessed such wealth,

then one thing was certain: Gu Chen must have experienced things that most people have never encountered.

He believed this might be what set Gu Chen apart from others.

"Director Gu, I hope you’ll take good care of me in the future."

"I’m a bit slow and not so good with words, and sometimes, a few words might offend someone.

If I ever say something that offends you in the future, I hope you can be forgiving."

At that moment, he was as if sounding a preemptive warning to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen just gave him a look and didn’t say anything in response.

He could say with certainty that among the three, this Director Yin was the smartest.

If he hadn’t been smart, he wouldn’t have come to find him today.

From this, he could judge that this Director Yin was certainly a bit more stable than the other two.

Perhaps he still had many secrets that most people didn’t know about.

His scheming was definitely much deeper than those two’s.

However, Gu Chen wasn’t so interested in the affairs surrounding him. What kind of person he was could gradually be discerned over time.

It was utterly pointless to ponder so much right now.

"Director Gu, frankly, I’ve been waiting for such an opportunity for many years.

Struggling alone in this society is simply too exhausting.

With your arrival, I feel like I’ve finally found a home.

From now on, the chamber of commerce will be my second home."

He spoke with a wealth of emotion at this moment.

Speaking very seriously, it was impossible to tell if he was joking.

"A family doesn’t speak in two tongues, let’s help each other out from now on."

The dinner gathering tonight was actually rather good.

Gu Chen didn’t drink much, just symbolically sipped that single cup.

And Director Yin did not pressure Gu Chen to drink anything.

Today, it seemed he was entirely focused on displaying his loyalty to Gu Chen; a cup meant a cup.

Towards the end, Gu Chen could clearly feel that this guy was beginning to lose his faculties due to the alcohol.

And when he was thoroughly intoxicated to the point of nearly losing consciousness, Gu Chen helped him home and then returned on his own.

After getting back, he found Ji Pianran busy with something in the living room.

The coffee table was littered with stacks of documents.

Seeing Ji Pianran like this, he seemed extremely busy.

So busy that he could hardly lift his head.

"What are you doing? Is there anything I can help with?"

Gu Chen approached proactively and asked her this.

Upon hearing this, she merely glanced up briefly at Gu Chen.

Then, she said to Gu Chen, "No need, it’s not a big deal. Just some work that should be finished in a bit."

She spoke to Gu Chen as if there wasn’t really any pressure.

However, the beads of sweat on her forehead and the anxious look on her face gave her away.

Gu Chen curiously watched her, not understanding what could possibly be troubling her so much within the company.

As it stood, Ji Pianran’s company was making a decent profit every day.

These profits were more than enough to sustain the normal operation of Ji Pianran’s company.

Despite this, Ji Pianran still had such important work to do.

Since Ji Pianran didn’t ask for his help, and he didn’t proactively intrude, judging that Ji Pianran seemed to be frustrated,

he felt that his presence might only add to Ji Pianran’s irritation.

It was better to just sit quietly and watch than to do otherwise.

Indeed, he was truly accompanying Ji Pianran when he poured her a cup of coffee and placed it on her desk.

After drinking a bit of the coffee specially made by Gu Chen, Ji Pianran’s mood significantly improved.

Of course, all the credit went to the fact that Spiritual Spring had now reached level three.

At this point, Ji Pianran finally started to talk to Gu Chen about the work she was doing.

"It’s a mess between companies, I don’t know why, but the competitive pressure feels tremendous.

And our Wang Laoji has been imitated."

Gu Chen really had no reaction to the first part of her statement until she mentioned that last part.
