Gu Yechen's eyes were slightly red, and a warm current surged in his heart. He said with emotion: "Son, I am really happy that you can think so much about your father. Dad knows that you have been working hard for so many years. Today's filial piety makes me feel more happy than anything else."
Seeing this, Chu Lei smiled softly, a smile that held a certain firmness and relief. "Don't worry, Dad. I promise to help you manage this for a month, but I also hope that you can find a suitable successor during this time. When I'm done with this, let's go on a family trip. I'll take you and Mom for a walk and record all the good times we had together. How about that?"
Chu Chu, who was standing by, secretly gave her second brother a thumbs up in her heart, muttering softly: "Second brother is still that soft-hearted person, always thinking about others first."
Gu Yechen was in a very good mood. He patted Chu Lei on the shoulder and smiled like a child: "Good son. But please believe Dad, I have already arranged everything for you brothers and sisters. After dinner, Dad will take you to officially join the company and introduce you to those old foxes. Haha, you have to learn a little. Our family business can't be cut off in your hands. And, Dad will tell you the truth, what I give you is enough for you to have food and clothing for a lifetime, but Dad hopes that you can have your own career and pursuits."
Chuchu recalled that she had lived in Jiayang Mountain for tens of thousands of years, as well as the years in the human world. She seemed to have always lived a rich life, but she heard Song Yaqing and Qingtian and others mention that she had a miserable reincarnation in the human world. Fortunately, when she was in the underworld, she was still favored by the King of Hell.
After hearing this, Chu Lei's eyes flashed with gratitude. He looked at Gu Yechen sincerely: "Dad, we all understand your intentions, but we hope to live a good life through our own efforts. You have given us enough, we have to learn to fly on our own."
Seeing this, Chu Chu interrupted at the right time, wanting to lend a helping hand to her brother: "Dad Gu, my second brother is actually worried about what my aunt and cousin will think. You know my aunt's personality. If they find out about this, it will be a disaster. We need to prepare in advance."
Gu Yechen's face turned serious when he heard this. He said seriously, "Xiao Lei, don't worry. I will handle your aunt and Xiao Tao's affairs properly. Xiao Tao has no interest in business and no ability to do it. I will never hand Gu Corporation over to him. Even if you don't want to take over in the future, I will find a professional manager to take care of it. I will never let the hard work of our family be ruined in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to cherish it."
Chu Lei felt relieved after hearing his father's words. He nodded gently and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll go to the company with you this afternoon and learn how to manage these businesses."
Gu Yechen has a clear attitude, so everything is easy to deal with.
The afternoon sun shines through the gauze curtains and into every corner of the living room, giving this spacious space a soft and warm glow.
Chu Lei's figure just disappeared outside the door with Gu Yechen and headed to Gu Group. That was the beginning of responsibility and growth.
Song Yaqing sat by the window, her eyes gently following the direction her son left, a mixture of emotions in her heart. She sighed softly and turned to look at Chuchu, who was fiddling with the tea set with a smile on her face.
"Chuchu, you were the one who persuaded your brother to come back, weren't you?" Song Yaqing's tone held a subtle hint of inquiry and relief. For the past two years, she had been immersed in her own little world, enjoying the leisurely life of an elegant wife and occasionally participating in the activities of wealthy people. The turmoil of the outside world seemed to have drifted away from her. But her son's decision once again brought her back to reality, forcing her to re-evaluate her family and everything around her.
Chuchu looked up, her bright eyes gleaming with cunning and wisdom. She chuckled, a smug smile on her lips, "Mom, you're really wronging me. My second brother is so filial, but when he heard that Father Gu wasn't feeling well, how could he sit still? He came back of his own accord and even offered to help with company affairs for a month. But this time, I don't think my second brother can deny it even if he wants to."
Hearing this, Song Yaqing frowned slightly and shook her head helplessly, "You are such a clever little ghost. You pushed your second brother to the forefront. He is too soft-hearted and easily led by the nose." Although she said this, her tone was more of love and worry for her son.
Seeing this, Chu Chu hurried forward, took Song Yaqing's hand, asked her to sit on the sofa, and snuggled up to her side, and began her "comfort plan". "Mom, you really don't have to worry. There are so many great figures in history, which one did not come out of the hardships? Just like Liu Bei, although he loves to cry, there are many loyal ministers and generals around him. Although the second brother looks gentle now, he is a smart player who hides his true self. Do you still remember him when he was a child? Although he was always at a disadvantage because of his honesty, once he got smart, his progress was amazing. Just say that when he was taking the college entrance examination, he worked so hard that he even needed a tutor for tutoring in the first grade. Don't you often tell me about it? So, some people are late in getting smart, but once they get smart, they are rising stars with unlimited potential."
Song Yaqing couldn't help laughing when she heard her daughter's words, and the worry in her heart also faded a little: "Are you so optimistic about your second brother?"
Chuchu nodded seriously and continued, "Of course. Mom, it's not without reason that Dad Gu values my second brother so much. For fifteen years, he has poured all his energy into my second brother. Although my second brother is late in enlightenment, it seems now that he is fully capable of shouldering this responsibility. We should give him a chance to prove himself. He is only 23 years old and has a long way to go in the future. Give him three years. If he really can't get it, Uncle Gu will naturally make other arrangements. But before that, we should fully support him."
Song Yaqing listened to her daughter's words, and the heavy stone in her heart gradually fell to the ground. She breathed a sigh of relief and showed a long-lost smile. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Chuchu, you are always so reasonable and well-founded, which makes me feel at ease."
Chuchu smiled complacently and held Song Yaqing's hand tightly, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm here for you. But I have to remind you that Aunt Gu is going to make a scene. Once Ms. Gu gets angry, she's not so easy to deal with."
Speaking of this, Song Yaqing's brows unconsciously frowned again. Obviously, the aunt from the Gu family was a common "problem" in their hearts.
