Gu Jingyan borrowed 1 million yuan from Xiao Dingdong.
He repeatedly emphasized that he would definitely pay back the money, but Xiao Dingdong didn't care. To her, the money originally belonged to him.
Just as Xiao Dingdong was about to leave, Gu Jingyan's phone rang. Gu Jingyan thought it was a call from his friend, but when he saw the number, he was surprised to find that it was Chen Zhe.
"Huh? Why did your manager call me?"
Upon hearing that it was her manager, Xiao Dingdong stopped and did not go out.
Gu Jingyan answered the phone.
Chen Zhe's hearty laughter rang out; "Young Master Gu, are you busy? It's been a while since I've been over. Are you free tonight?"
Gu Jingyan said irritably, "No time! I probably won't be going there anymore!"
Chen Zhe asked, feigning surprise.
"Young Master Gu, what happened?"
"It's a long story, but anyway, I won't be going there anymore, so let's leave it at that."
He didn't really want to talk to Chen Zhe. He had a gut feeling that the smile in Chen Zhe's eyes was full of calculation.
He wasn't used to it.
"Young Master Gu, is it because of family matters?"
Gu Jingyan said impatiently, "You already know, why are you asking? What, do you want to ridicule me too?"
"Hehe, I didn't mean that. I was just speaking up for Young Master Gu. I heard a little about it, and if Young Master Gu doesn't mind, I'm willing to lend a helping hand and help him get through this difficult time."
Gu Jingyan sneered; "What helping hand? What, you think you can lend me money?"
"If Mr. Gu needs it, I would certainly be happy to lend it to you."
Gu Jingyan was stunned. He wasn't familiar with Chen Zhe; they had only known each other for a few days. Yet, the other party had asked to borrow money from him.
He didn't believe such a windfall would fall into his lap.
What is your purpose?
“What purpose could I possibly have? Young Master Gu is a loyal customer of our Linglong Club. The first principle of Linglong Club is to prioritize customer satisfaction above all else. Now that our customer is in trouble, we should provide assistance. If we can’t do that, would we dare to charge an annual fee of 2 million?”
Gu Jingyan was still a little skeptical. He had experienced too much disappointment today, and he didn't trust his family or friends. He felt that the other party must have an ulterior motive for being so kind.
"What exactly is your purpose? If you don't tell the truth, I'm hanging up right now."
"Hehe, Young Master Gu, does it matter what my purpose is? Think about it. I'm sure that in your current situation, your friends won't help you. If you think I'm wrong, then you can just hang up the phone."
For Chen Zhe, it was foolish to beg others for help.
After Chen Zhe finished speaking, Gu Jingyan indeed hesitated.
"Okay, I'll go!"
"Okay, the car is downstairs."
"What??? You even know where I live?"
Gu Jingyan was startled, then looked at Xiao Dingdong standing at the door. He thought Xiao Dingdong had told Chen Zhe, but Xiao Dingdong quickly shook her head to indicate that she hadn't said it.
Chen Zhe laughed on the other end of the phone.
"Young Master Gu, it wasn't Ding Dong who said that. I was just worried about you, so I sent some people to protect your safety."
"You! I really suspect you installed a surveillance camera in my room. You even know what I'm thinking."
Gu Jingyan suddenly felt a little scared of Chen Zhe. He had thought that Chen Zhe was just a sycophant who was so young, but he did not expect him to be so smart.
"Haha, Young Master Gu, you can't guess that. The car is ready for you. See you in half an hour."
"knew!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jingyan looked at Xiao Dingdong and said, "Your manager is really a bit scary!"
...
Half an hour later, in Chen Zhe's office.
Xiao Dingdong came in and then left, leaving only Chen Zhe and Gu Jingyan.
"Tell me, how much money can you lend me?"
"Young Master Gu, do you want to borrow more?"
Chen Zhe asked while washing the teacups.
"Heh, judging from your tone, you think you can lend me as much as I want, right? What if I wanted to borrow a hundred million?"
Chen Zhe smiled and nodded; "Send me your account number."
Gu Jingyan was stunned.
Later, in order to verify Chen Zhe's words, she actually gave him her account.
Chen Zhe glanced at it and smiled; "Can this card still be used? If it can, I'll transfer the money to you right now."
Gu Jingyan realized that the other party was serious, and he was genuinely curious.
"What is it all for? You and I are complete strangers. You don't know me, and I don't know you. You lent me so much money, and given my current situation, I can't pay it back. You should be well aware of that!"
"I already said, our Linglong Club takes customer satisfaction as its standard..."
"You don't need to say any of this. It's all empty talk. If I believed you, I'd be a fool. Tell me what your real purpose is?"
Chen Zhe shrugged and said, "Alright, since we've come this far, I won't hide it from you anymore. My goal is simple, and you can do it too: I want 30% of the shares in your Gu family!"
After hearing this, Gu Jingyan felt that the other person was crazy.
"Are you crazy? Putting aside your outrageous demands, can't you see my current situation? I'm not even an heir, I've been kicked out, and I might not even get a share in the will. You want 30% of the Gu family's shares? Even if I were willing to give them, could I afford them?"
Chen Zhe poured him a cup of tea; "Young Master Gu, things are all about human effort. You are the rightful heir of the Gu family. Even if your father wants to get rid of you, some of the older employees in the company won't accept it. There are also many relatives from your maternal family in the company, right? They will definitely support you."
Gu Jingyan gasped.
He really felt that Chen Zhe in front of him was very dangerous.
"You even know this?"
"Young Master Gu, I may know more than you think, and you don't need to doubt our strength. We have money and methods to help you regain the position of Gu family heir. As long as you have this idea, we can help you."
Gu Jingyan hesitated for a moment.
"Are you so sure I'll cooperate with you? Maybe I'll just have a fight with my father and then go back? We're still father and son, blood is thicker than water."
"That's possible, but your father wants you to go back, but someone is preventing it."
Gu Jingyan thought of his stepmother and his annoying younger brother.
He fell silent.
"Looks like you've done quite a bit of research."
"Young Master Gu, I've already told you, I know far more than you can imagine, including your legs..."
Upon hearing him mention his leg, Gu Jingyan's pupils dilated, and he tensed up.
"What...what do you mean?"
"Your legs aren't an accident; they were harmed by someone hired by your stepmother, Cao Xue."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingyan was struck dumb, his mouth agape as he struggled to breathe.
