Chapter 899: Eight hundred and ninety-four: The child of a rich family

Under Gu Chen’s scrutinizing gaze,

he seemed compelled, with no other choice but to nod reluctantly.

"Rest assured, as long as he’s in the Business Association, I promise you I’ll listen to him.

But if he botches it up, Mama won’t let him off the hook."

That’s what he ended up saying.

Gu Chen, upon hearing her words, which no matter how you listened to them, didn’t sound like something a woman would say, found himself at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Still single at his age, he reckoned it had a lot to do with that personality of hers.

He reminisced about the first time they met.

Back then, the lass was like someone who had swallowed gunpowder.

No matter who she saw, she always had that dissatisfied look on her face.

She even dared to bet with Boss Gu at that time.

From that moment, Gu Chen had a lasting impression of her.

Now, judging by her various actions, it seemed this was quite normal.

Whenever Gu Chen faced her, it was as if he were dealing with a child who didn’t understand anything.

Sensorily, Gu Chen felt that this beautiful "sister" must be a happy person.

He believed that this beautiful "sister" must never have had a moment of worry in her life.

Because, whether it was her smile or her words and deeds,

they conveyed to Gu Chen a sense of two words: ease and comfort.

Gu Chen, with such a character, really hadn’t met many like her.

It could be said that in such a social environment, maintaining such a mindset was actually quite rare.

The vast majority of people under normal circumstances could not achieve what she had.

Right then, he continued to speak with a smile.

"Boss Gu, you’re saying that since there’s a president in the Association, there should also be a vice president."

After hearing this, Gu Chen nodded, initially not quite understanding what he was trying to convey.

But it wasn’t long before Gu Chen understood that this fellow was eyeing the vice president’s position.

Gu Chen, bemused, felt she had really set her sights high.

"Don’t worry about these messy things for now.

Our Association has only just started.

However, I’ve already invested so much of myself into it.

So, the Association must succeed, it’s not something to be trifled with."

Gu Chen said this very seriously.

The Association was very important to him.

It wasn’t just about making money as simple as that.

More importantly, he hoped that the Association could be of some help to him.

These advantages were much greater than any monetary wealth.

Money was something you could have whenever you wanted it.

In the end, what you really compete for are connections.

If you have connections, you can have everything; without them, you have nothing.

Gu Chen saw this clearly, which was why he was so eager for the Association.

More crucially, he now had shares in many companies.

These stakes could be said to be a stepping stone for his rise.

With the support of these big companies, he believed his road ahead would be smooth sailing.

However, as for which companies he now controlled, very few people knew; Gu Chen had never brought it up.

"Boss Gu, you’re someone who is rich and capable enough to start your own business and succeed — with so much money that you can’t spend it all, what do you think about every day?"

At that moment, the beautiful "sister" asked Gu Chen this bluntly, standing by his side, her face seemingly filled with genuine curiosity. Gu Chen, after hearing her, didn’t know how to answer her question at once.

He hadn’t expected the beautiful "sister" to perceive the matter in such a shrewd way.

But as I carefully think back about it,

Gu Chen suddenly realized that the questions he pondered when he had barely any money were not much different from what he was saying now.

Back then, he would wonder what the lives of those wealthy people were really like.

He even did so during such a poor stage of his life.

He had even thought to himself,

If I were that rich in the future, what would I do?

But that one question, he had pondered his whole previous life and never figured it out.

Because he never had money from the beginning to the end of his last life.

It can be said that the word "money" was incredibly distant from the previous him.

"Work hard, and you can do it too, this money isn’t really anything,"

Gu Chen said to him quite casually.

He had never felt that he now possessed a great fortune.

To him, what he currently held was just a small amount of money.

A few tens of millions might indeed allow for some flashy spending now,

but in the future, this amount of money will be nothing but a drop in the bucket.

A very simple truth,

current conditions would mean nothing in the future.

In the future, an average internet celebrity could easily earn hundreds of millions,

and a star could casually command appearance fees of tens of millions.

The box office for a single movie could break through several billion.

So what was this small sum he owned now?

Gu Chen had never been satisfied with the status quo.

If he were so easily satisfied,

he wouldn’t be trying to make a name for himself.

Why would he bother with running a business association?

After all, he already held shares in so many big companies.

The only thing to do every day was simply wait for dividends from these companies, which would be enough.

Even if he sold the stocks of these up-and-coming companies later on, Gu Chen could still live lavishly for the rest of his life.

But he was not content with just that.

He wanted to fight and strive once more; having money and having status were completely different things.

The difference between people with resources and those without is like heaven and earth.

He wanted to be the person with resources.

He didn’t want to become someone who was nothing and had no ability.

With just a pile of money, he would only be considered a slightly higher-level nouveau riche in the end.

He could imagine how those wealthy businessmen would talk about him then.

They would probably think he just caught a good era,

and happened to blindly invest in a few companies, akin to a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.

And there would certainly be voices claiming that in such an environment,

any random investment, in any company,

would turn into big profits due to society’s favorable development.

"I never thought you would be so ambitious.

But I think the money you’ve earned is already quite a lot."

Obviously, what Gu Chen was doing might not be something he could understand.

At this moment, he simply thought that Gu Chen had already done a lot,

so why keep obsessing over these matters?

Gu Chen just smiled and didn’t respond to that aspect.

There were many things he couldn’t conveniently say.

It’s not like he could tell him that in a few years, a broadcaster could earn tens of millions.
