Chapter 849: Four hundred and eighty-four, one stick one hundred and fifty thousand

Ji Pianran was clearly a bit unconvinced, as if the money just spent was a total waste.

To him, it seemed like the money just spent should not have been spent at all.

Gu Chen, although he didn’t know exactly what was going on, felt that since the money was spent, it was spent, and it wasn’t a big deal. He thought it was worth it to spend tens of thousands of yuan to put this matter to rest.

However, compared to Ji Pianran’s source of income, fifty thousand yuan was really not a small figure, perhaps Gu Chen truly didn’t care, but Ji Pianran felt extremely distressed.

In Ji Pianran’s view, this money was all Gu Chen’s hard-earned money.

No matter what Gu Chen’s current income was, no matter how much he had earned.

Still, this money was earned by Gu Chen working hard day and night.

It could be said that if it weren’t for Gu Chen’s long-term efforts, there would be no today.

And that guy did nothing, merely because of that incident from the past, he directly took tens of thousands of yuan from Gu Chen’s hands, which is no different from robbery.

Moreover, Ji Pianran had already given him money before, and now this guy was coming back for more, so naturally, Ji Pianran was very unwilling.

"We can’t go on like this in the future. If we continue like this,

I don’t know how much more money will be needed, do you understand what I mean?"

Ji Pianran said this very seriously to Gu Chen, with a very stern look on his face, as if this issue would go on forever if it continued.

Of course, Gu Chen could understand what Ji Pianran wanted to express.

It was nothing more than feeling that the money he spent was a bit too aggrieved.

"The company is not the same as it used to be now.

There are so many employees in the company, and it’s ultimately not good for these things to be seen by others."

Gu Chen could say he was also widely experienced, in his previous life he didn’t know how many he had seen, those people for the sake of saving a bit of money, ended up making things worse. Not only businessmen but also some celebrities would when faced with a problem, begrudge spending money and choose to tough it out with others, but in the end, they had to bear the consequences themselves.

Some people even ended up in prison over this bit of money.

If they could make the choice again, they would all choose to spend the money and settle it at the beginning,

rather than making it widely known as it is now and landing themselves in prison.

Although this small issue wouldn’t land Ji Pianran in prison, it was a lesson he wanted to teach Ji Pianran.

Sometimes when some troubles can be resolved with money, don’t be too earnest about it.

Because being truly earnest doesn’t benefit them at all.

Money is a thing if lost, can be earned again.

But if a person is gone, they’re truly gone.

Once inside, not to mention the impact on life,

just enduring the suffering is wholly unnecessary.

Earning so much money is meant to enhance one’s quality of life, to free oneself from some troubles.

If because of money one ends up in prison, wouldn’t that be the exact opposite, creating restrictions for oneself?

Ji Pianran listened to Gu Chen speaking these words, although he understood what Gu Chen was trying to say,

at this time, he felt even more unconvinced. He always felt that he had done nothing wrong, why should he have to put up with this?

"Who exactly is that person? What does he do? It seems like he knows you very well?"

Gu Chen then mentioned that man.

"Back when I was in school, I was always bullied, and at that time he was the class leader in our class, so he would step in to help me. I remember there was a conflict with a classmate, and he took the initiative to stand up.

Unexpectedly, the opponent didn’t know their own strength and actually brought a bat, resulting in a big disaster.

At that time, the stick was headed straight for me, but I reacted quickly and dodged it.

But he wasn’t so quick, and the blow landed on his shoulder.

It caused many of his bones to necrotize and created serious problems."

Ji Pianran brought up those past events, which were still clear as yesterday.

After listening, Gu Chen fully understood, realizing it was all just bygone days in the end.

Back then, that person had done Ji Pianran a kindness.

So, now having entered society with no money, he naturally turned to Ji Pianran, hoping Ji Pianran would solve his financial difficulties.

"However, I had already given him a large sum of money back in the day. Now, I didn’t expect him to be so greedy and want more.

I didn’t get this money from a windfall; how could I give it to him whenever he asks?

So, I refused.

But unexpectedly, he found out where I worked and came looking for me.

It’s really getting too much.

If I had known it would come to this, I should have drawn up a written agreement with him when I first gave him money,

telling him to never come back after this one last payment."

Ji Pianran was exceptionally angry, a rare sight of such anger.

For Ji Pianran, it felt like outright extortion.

Gu Chen completely understood, knowing why Ji Pianran was so angry.

After all, the man was clinging to Ji Pianran a bit too much.

If helping out the first time was the right thing to do for Ji Pianran,

then causing such great harm over so many years.

Ji Pianran was truly generous, having compensated a six-figure sum right at the start.

With that amount, he could buy a car or even a house, which would place him above all other salaried workers.

But this guy, out of concern, noticed that Ji Pianran was wealthy.

So, he planned to cling to Ji Pianran continuously.

Trying incessantly to squeeze more money out of him.

Gu Chen had heard of such people before his arrival,

but he never imagined this situation would happen to Ji Pianran, catching him by surprise.

At this moment, Ji Pianran also appeared very helpless, evidently hoping someone would come along to help him solve this trouble.

Gu Chen then said directly to him,

"Don’t take this matter too much to heart; all troubles will eventually pass."

Gu Chen knew what Ji Pianran’s concerns were.

It was nothing but the fear of that person endlessly pestering him,

The relentless harassment eventually affecting Ji Pianran’s normal life.

"Don’t worry, if he comes looking for you again, just call me and I’ll take care of him for you."

Gu Chen spoke directly to Ji Pianran, his words uncharacteristically blunt.

For Gu Chen, if it had been him, he might not have helped like Ji Pianran did.
