Chapter 890: Eight hundred and eighty-five. Bringing up the past, to let everything emerge to the surface

And at that moment, the beautiful older sister also let out a smile.

It felt as if she was purely making fun of Xiong Qianyang.

However, Gu Chen could understand that the beautiful older sister didn’t really bear much malice.

She just wanted to tease Xiong Qianyang a little.

After all, there was a time when Xiong Qianyang was so imposing.

But the current Xiong Qianyang bore no resemblance to his past self.

He was no longer the imposing man he had been.

Now, he was just a manager at an ordinary company.

Even his boss, or rather his superior, could boss him around every day.

It was at this moment that Xiong Qianyang suddenly smiled.

He spoke very seriously to Gu Chen.

"Actually, it’s not that big of a deal.

When that incident happened,

I had pretty much guessed what the outcome would be,

and I was well aware of the kind of people my associates were.

So from the very beginning, I didn’t expect anyone to help me.

I just hoped that they would still remember that I existed,

but what surprised me was that, since that incident,

they have all disowned me completely.

I’ve heard they are all ridiculing me out there now.

I guess they’re doing it to protect themselves.

Even though it’s not very decent, everyone is running a small business.

It’s not easy to get to where we are today.

Understanding each other, we move on.

What I didn’t expect was for Boss Gu to come and find me today.

It’s a surprise, considering I’m not that close to Boss Gu.

We only met once before and never again.

I’m really moved that Boss Gu came to see me today,

The main thing is, the business we discussed back then,

Boss Gu really made it a success.

Thank goodness Boss Gu didn’t come to my trading company then.

If Boss Gu had joined my trading company at that time,

I would have really wrecked Boss Gu’s chances. Thankfully, everything is still okay now."

Xiong Qianyang sighed deeply and continued,

"To be honest, I ought to show my gratitude in some way at this time.

But my financial situation is really not good right now.

I’ll wait for later. This time, consider it a debt I owe to Boss Gu.

Next time I’ll make sure to properly return the favor.

Please forgive me, Boss Gu.

Speaking of which,

I should have prepared the gift that very day Boss Gu left.

With the talents of someone from Boss Gu’s family pursuing this venture, how could it possibly fail?

I was inconsiderate. Please forgive me, Boss Gu."

He was being so polite at this time,

that Gu Chen didn’t quite know how to face him.

Looking at him now, Gu Chen felt a bit disappointed in his heart,

For the sake of a few bushels of rice, the man bent his knees.

Such a man would definitely be someone responsible and reliable in society.

If only he hadn’t offended that person,

perhaps his trading company would still be thriving today.

The most crucial thing is that in a few more years, he could be certain his trading company would still be number one.

It’s hard to say whether it’s fate playing tricks or what,

but now the chances of him rebuilding such a trading company on his own are virtually impossible.

After all, such opportunities were always fleeting and once missed, they never returned.

At this time, Gu Chen posed a question of his own.

He had wanted to ask this question before.

But there had never been a chance.

Now, he could directly ask it.

He looked at Xiong Qianyang and then asked him very formally,

"Actually, for a long time, I’ve been puzzled about something.

That is the business of Old Yuan’s family’s jewelry.

Were you really the one who bankrupted them in the first place?"

He remembered the last time he had asked Xiong Qianyang.

The answer he received from Xiong Qianyang was that their trade association had only used normal competitive methods.

Now, seeing him like this, Gu Chen wanted to ask again,

He was in his heart seeking the truth.

He wanted to know what really happened back then.

When Xiong Qianyang heard this, he laughed a little as if he had never expected

that at this time, Gu Chen would ask such a question.

He even looked a bit caught off guard.

However, seeing how serious Gu Chen was, he answered Gu Chen’s question with equal seriousness,

"I dare not guarantee anything else to you, Boss Gu, but on this matter,

I believe I have certain authority to speak.

Back then, things were much more complicated than they are now.

It was the springtime of the jewelry industry.

Basically, anyone with a bit of brains would choose to enter the jewelry industry,

because the profits were simply too high.

Everyone wanted to get involved, and our trade association was no exception.

I also kept telling all members of our trade association to work hard together,

to carve out a piece of the sky in this jewelry industry.

After all, our trade association needed to make some money.

If we didn’t earn that bit of money, people would starve.

Under such an extremely competitive environment back then, some succeeded,

while others failed.

Old Yuan’s family was one of the first to enter the jewelry industry.

Their family was very successful in the jewelry field.

And they were indeed very famous and prestigious.

At that time, his family was truly a role model for me to learn from.

However, many of the things Old Yuan said were really just a misunderstanding towards me.

Or rather, it was his misunderstanding of the trade association.

Because in his eyes, it was our trade association that took away their family business.

But in fact, there were many who entered the industry back then,

and it was not just our trade association.

The only difference was that in the end, our trade association, with its strong connections and abilities,

managed to win this rather terrifying competition.

After winning, there immediately arose a problem.

Old Yuan thought it was me who ruined their family, but in reality it wasn’t like he said.

It was just that we were lucky to win. Even if we hadn’t won,

some other Zhang San or Li Si would have beaten the Yuan family.

Back then, although the Yuan family was very famous locally,

it did not mean they were irreplaceable.

Ever since I replaced the Yuan family, he has held deep animosity towards me,

and I can feel it.

Moreover, I truly understand.

After all, anyone in such a situation might not have a good disposition.

I know that for him to stand before me so openly and restrain himself from taking action is already very rare."
