Chapter 900: Eight hundred ninety-five: The bar is the battlefield

The most critical aspect was that Gu Chen could be sure of something based on his own nature.

As long as he said so himself, then he would definitely think he was mentally ill.

Therefore, Gu Chen decided not to look for trouble.

Some things are better left unsaid.

"By the way, I almost forgot about something just now.

Are we still going to check out that storefront you mentioned?"

Hao Meili suddenly remembered at this moment.

She had been chatting with Gu Chen about everything under the sun, completely forgetting the real matter at hand.

Now, it suddenly came back to her.

"Of course, we need to take a look. The main reason for my trip to Haicheng is for this very matter."

Gu Chen didn’t come specifically for Xiong Qianyang’s situation. In fact, he didn’t know much about Xiong Qianyang’s affairs.

It could only be described as a coincidental opportunity.

It was after Gu Chen made this very clear that,

Hao Meili listened with a trace of hesitation on her face.

She always felt like Gu Chen’s involvement wasn’t as coincidental as he made it seem.

The whole situation was exceedingly strange; how could all these minor details have converged so neatly? Frankly, not everyone might believe such a story.

Even now, Hao Meili’s gaze towards Gu Chen seemed a bit off.

She knew Gu Chen was no fool, quite the contrary—he could definitely be considered a really smart person.

She was well aware of what Gu Chen was capable of.

So, at that moment, some doubts started to arise in her mind.

Hao Meili wondered if Gu Chen had already known about this matter, and that his visit today was merely to go with the flow.

However, she had no concrete evidence, and at this time, she could only pretend to be oblivious.

But at least one thing was certain now.

From this point on, Xiong Qianyang was thoroughly bound to Gu Chen.

From now on, they were on the same boat.

Of course, she was now on board with Gu Chen as well.

In the time that followed, Gu Chen and she did nothing else but wander around.

At the same time, they also made a point of checking out all the storefronts he had mentioned before.

To Gu Chen, they still seemed very fresh.

Having lived two lifetimes, he had, of course, seen every kind of shop there was.

However, because he had spent so much time in such a secluded place,

the access to information on the internet was extremely limited.

When Gu Chen saw these storefronts in Haicheng today, he truly experienced an illusion.

It was as if he had returned to those days of the past.

He himself was somewhat uncertain whether all of this was real.

Haicheng lived up to its reputation as a city that developed at an extraordinarily rapid pace.

Up until now,

one could find quite innovative things in every street and alley of Haicheng.

Gu Chen felt these things were genuinely highlights.

Having such wonderful things happen in a city was amazing.

This also made him pay even more attention to the development of Haicheng.

He knew that the development of Haicheng at this point was urgent.

Previously, he was not in a hurry.

But now he realized that perhaps he should expedite his efforts to expand his investments in Haicheng.

After all, the situation called for immediate action.

In such a city, there is often a change every day.

Nobody could say for sure what would happen tomorrow, nor could they clearly define what might occur today.

While Gu Chen was contemplating how to open this first door,

Hao Meili, who was next to him, suddenly started to speak.

"Isn’t your bar doing well? Then why not try it out directly in Haicheng? Haicheng has strong spending power, too. If you were to open your bar in Haicheng, it should sell very well."

At that moment, he said to Gu Chen with a smile. Upon hearing this, Gu Chen was momentarily taken aback, unsure if he was being serious.

But it didn’t take long for Gu Chen to realize the inconsistency.

"How did you know I still have a bar? Did I ever mention it to you?"

Gu Chen was very sharp-witted and immediately noticed something was off. Right after Gu Chen spoke, he saw an awkward look on his face.

It was as if he could no longer hide his little secrets.

"Oh, it’s just that I got too curious about you and looked you up.

What’s the big deal? After all this time, who doesn’t know whom?"

Having said that, he left Gu Chen dumbfounded.

Gu Chen looked at him blankly, not understanding when their relationship had gotten so close.

He even wondered if the guy was drunk.

"Are you sick or something?"

Gu Chen asked him with a fair amount of concern.

Upon hearing this, he immediately froze.

His gaze on Gu Chen was devoid of thought, completely unexpected that Gu Chen would ask such a question.

Then, he instantly understood from Gu Chen’s somewhat discriminatory look.

"Who are you calling sick? I’m perfectly normal!"

He protested indignantly.

Gu Chen, upon hearing this, could not help but be caught between laughter and tears.

"The bar matter needs further consideration; it’s not something that can be settled in just a few words."

Gu Chen declined to agree hastily, but said so instead.

The bar used to be a gold mine.

It even became, could be said, a focal point.

But today, it was completely different.

Now the narrative about bars seems to have expanded somewhat.

Gu Chen had not forgotten what he had gone through when the bar was in its heyday.

When they saw the bar making money, they would do everything possible to get close to Gu Chen.

Their purpose in getting close to Gu Chen was very simple.

It was nothing more than sheer jealousy of Gu Chen from start to finish.

For them, they only wanted to get more money out of Gu Chen, and there was one condition for all this: that Gu Chen wouldn’t earn a penny.

Their jealousy could be the reason, just look at those three KTVs.

To this day, he has not forgotten how those three KTVs treated him—everything is vivid in his memory.

Therefore, before deciding to open such a bar, he must think carefully about the possible consequences.

And these consequences include but are not limited to some possible adverse effects.

So at that time, his thoughts were quite straightforward.

However, after he finished speaking, it was very clear to see.

Hao Meili completely did not understand what Gu Chen was talking about. For him, didn’t it just take renting a premises and opening a bar here? Was there really anything else that needed to be considered?

So at that time, he could only look on blankly, not knowing how else to describe it.

Gu Chen simply watched him quietly, and upon seeing his expression, Gu Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

If she could understand, then she truly wouldn’t be herself.

"You don’t need to worry about this matter, I have it under
