Gu Jingyan rushed over to find Chen Zhe.
"What kind of lousy plan is this? My uncle just called me. Gu Jingping has just closed a huge deal. If this goes through, his position in the company will be very secure! Why did you insist on me starting this investment company? Now that the company is established, we're not doing anything. Are you playing me?"
Seeing Gu Jingyan's face turn red with anxiety, Chen Zhe put down his teacup and smiled.
"Young Master Gu, there's no need to rush. Have some tea first..."
Gu Jingyan slapped the teacup that was handed to him away.
"What time is it? You still have the mind to drink tea?"
Chen Zhe picked up the teacup from the ground, wiped it with a tissue, and put it back in its place.
"Young Master Gu, if you want to achieve great things, you have to be more cautious. If you're so impulsive, how will you accomplish anything great in the future?"
“I don’t want to act impulsively, but this matter is too big. The Lijing Park development project is worth tens of billions. Now my father has handed the project over to Gu Jingping. What am I doing here investing? To put it bluntly, if I stayed in the company, I could still try to fight for it!”
Gu Jingyan was starting to regret his actions. He regretted trusting Chen Zhe too much. After Chen Zhe set up his investment company, he hadn't done anything. Now, Gu Jingping was about to accomplish something big. How could he possibly tolerate that?
Chen Zhe smiled and shook his head; "Young Master Gu, our cooperation should be based on mutual trust. The fact that you're coming here to question me like this shows that you don't trust me."
"How can I trust you? Just based on your word?"
Gu Jingyan snorted coldly.
"Hehe, of course, it can't be based on just one word from me. Right now, there's something I need you to do. If you do this well, your investment company will soar to new heights."
Gu Jingping looked at Chen Zhe with suspicion; "What is it?"
"futures!"
After hearing this, Gu Jingyan's mind raced for a moment; "You mean you want me to buy futures for building materials?"
"That's right!"
"Oh, I see. You mean those building materials are going to surge in price? And you want me to buy them now?"
Chen Zhe smiled and shook his head.
"It's not buying, it's selling; it's not being bullish, it's being bearish."
Gu Jingping called out and was about to stand up.
"Are you crazy? Prices are rising right now, who gave you the courage to be bearish?"
"Young Master Gu, there's a saying that goes, 'When others are going crazy, I'm fearful.' Right now, everyone is bullish, which is the most dangerous time."
"Are you crazy? A lot of people have heard about the development of Lijing Park. The bidding announcement will be released in a few days. Everyone is buying materials. How could the price possibly drop?"
"Hehe, what if there are problems during development?"
Gu Jingyan was stunned for a moment.
His eyes showed some shock.
What message did you receive?
"Hehe, I did receive some information, but it's not completely confirmed yet. I can only say that a significant price increase is impossible."
"Are you sure your information is accurate?"
"Does Young Master Gu not believe me?"
"I don't know, after all, this matter is of great importance."
"Alright then, think it over carefully. I'm genuinely trying to help you."
"I'll go back and think about it carefully..."
Gu Jingyan fell silent, then turned his wheelchair and left. Seeing him go out, Chen Zhe's eyes turned cold. Gu Jingyan was not someone who could be completely trusted. He had only told half of what he had said before, and it was impossible for him to tell the whole truth.
He picked up his phone and called Zhang Kai.
"Brother Zhang, could you keep an eye on Gu Jingyan for me..."
...
The entrance to a coffee shop.
Seeing Ye Jiawen rushing over, Gu Jingyan, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly said, "Uncle, there's something I need to tell you..."
"Jingyan, what's wrong? Is something urgent? The company is quite busy right now..."
"Uncle, there might be some problems with the development of Lijing Park. I hope you can persuade my dad not to invest so much..."
Gu Jingyan's greatest strength and weakness is that he is not ruthless enough. He cannot be completely heartless. After thinking it over, he still wants to talk to his uncle.
Hearing him say that, Ye Jiawen frowned slightly.
Why do you say that?
Gu Jingyan didn't mention Chen Zhe; "Uncle, don't worry about why I said that, I just hope you can persuade my dad to be cautious about this matter and not invest too much..."
“But your father has already made up his mind. Now the Li family and the Zhang family are investing, and if the Gu Group doesn’t keep up, it will soon fall behind.”
"This...this matter is too big, I can't persuade them otherwise."
"Uncle, even if you can't persuade him, you still have to. Think about it, what if the development of Lijing Park stops?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiawen's pupils dilated slightly; "Jing Yan, tell me the truth, what exactly do you know?"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Gu Jingyan simply told the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiawen began to reprimand him.
"How could you do this? How could you trust a stranger? If you have something to say, why don't you just talk to your uncle? Your second uncle and I will support you. I advised you not to be impulsive back then, and now look what happened! You listen to him in everything. What if he lies to you?"
"Uncle, I have no choice..."
"What do you mean there's no way? You come back with me now and explain everything to your father. We're all family, so we can talk things out."
Ye Jiawen grabbed Gu Jingyan's hand; "Come on! You're coming back with me now!"
Gu Jingyan broke free; "Uncle, don't force me, I won't go back."
"Why are you so stubborn, child? This is no small matter..."
“Uncle, the reason I chose to believe him is because I wanted to use him. You don’t know, that vicious woman Cao Xue did terrible things to me. My legs are a result of her! If that person can really help me, then why can’t I use him to take back the Gu family’s assets?”
At this point, Gu Jingyan clenched his fist and slammed it heavily against his leg.
The reason he came to talk to his uncle was because he had a shred of conscience; he didn't want to see his family's company suffer serious losses because of this matter.
Although I had promised Chen Zhe that I would do anything for him, I can disregard that promise since he is an outsider.
"But... what you're doing is too risky. If you lose, you'll lose everything! Is it worth it?"
Gu Jingyan gave a wry smile.
"Is it worth it? I don't know. All I know is that I can't go back to that home. I can only rely on myself."
Ye Jiawen sighed; "Child, you're just too kind, just like your mother..."
"Uncle, please pass on my words to my father. This is all I can do. If he doesn't listen, there's nothing I can do..."
After saying this, Gu Jingyan pushed his wheelchair away.
On the street, a taxi was parked there. Gu Jingyan had just stepped out when Ye Jiawen came out.
Zhang Kai was holding his phone while munching on bread.
"Brother, he met with his uncle. What are they going to do?"
"Hehe, no need, you can come back."
"good!"
Chen Zhe hung up the phone, a cold laugh playing on his lips; "Heh, what a hopeless case!"
