The father and son sat face to face in the conference room. Gu Jingming was still organizing his words and was not in a hurry to speak.

Gu Guotao's mind was already in a mess because of all the random thoughts in his mind.

"Dad, this is what I am thinking. I feel like the workload has been too much lately. This isn't a solution."

Gu Jingming thought about it and decided to start from himself. When Gu Guotao heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"What do you mean by that?"

Gu Guotao had originally sat down to drink tea, but now he suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at him seriously.

"Dad, you haven't recovered yet, don't be so excited, just listen to what I have to say first, okay?"

Gu Jingming walked up to his father, held his skinny hands, and then gently patted the back of his hands.

Gu Guotao, who was originally furious, was quickly calmed down.

He has been separated from his son for many years, and there is not much affection between father and son. He always thought that his son was unwilling to be close to him.

Whenever his son approached him, even the biggest resentment in Gu Guotao's heart would disappear.

He calmed down completely and wanted to hear what his son was planning.

"Go ahead and I'll listen."

Gu Guotao's face was tense and his expression looked very serious.

Gu Jingming didn't want to cause any more misunderstandings, so he simply repeated what Ye Qingtao had said to him.

"Dad, Qingtao is very talented in pharmaceutical manufacturing, and many pharmaceutical companies want to cooperate with her now."

"They saw the value of Qingtao and knew the profits that a prescription could create."

"Since Qingtao is my daughter-in-law, why don't we take this resource into our own hands and develop it?"

"If others can start a pharmaceutical company and make money, we can do the same!"

Gu Jingming has done research and found that the threshold for starting a pharmaceutical company is not particularly high, but there is too much information to register in the early stages, and many people may not want to do it because they find it troublesome.

But they are different from others, they have natural advantages in starting a pharmaceutical company.

If they don't seize their own advantages and develop them, they will eventually be overtaken by others.

Gu Jingming spoke passionately, and Gu Guotao's expression was slightly moved after listening to him.

He pursed his lips and said nothing, silently calculating the pros and cons in his mind.

He has been running a company for so many years, so of course he knows how popular it is to run a pharmaceutical company.

It’s just that he had no suitable prescription before, and he had never been involved in this industry before.

Gu Guotao is a cautious and steady person in doing things, so he doesn't dare to try anything rashly.

But now that my son has married such a powerful wife, it would be unreasonable not to take advantage of this.

Gu Guotao was still in deep thought. Gu Jingming thought that he had not yet convinced his father, so he immediately explained impatiently.

"Dad, I don't want to be like you, unable to spend time with my family all day long because of this company, always running around or busy."

"Although you have made a lot of money over the years, you have spent too little time with me and grandma."

"I left the army because it was too dangerous and too busy."

"I'm afraid that if I stay in the army, I'll end up like you, unable to spend time with my wife and children, or even lose my life."

"I left the army not to follow in your footsteps, but to make money and have a good family."

Gu Jingming said a lot in one breath. In fact, if Gu Guotao hadn't kept calling him, Gu Jingming might not have resigned from the army so quickly.

"I see. You are right. You can't follow my old path. Now that you have other ideas, do it according to your own ideas."

"My assistant and I will review the business we have done over the years, sell off the unprofitable and labor-intensive industries, and then raise funds to set up a pharmaceutical company, so that you can focus on doing what you want to do."

"But to be on the safe side, before the pharmaceutical companies become bigger and stronger, we can't cut off too many industries at once."

"If the pharmaceutical company doesn't succeed, you still have a way out."

It is said that parents who love their children will plan for their future.

Gu Guotao was truly thinking about him, so he compromised and made calculations.

"Okay, just do as Dad says."

After the father and son reached an agreement, Gu Guotao took the initiative to step down.

He needed to shrink his business as required to raise funds to prepare for his son's new plan.

The son was right. He never thought he was wrong before, until his mother passed away suddenly, and then he suddenly understood.

The regret of the tree wanting to be still but the wind does not stop, the son wanting to support his parents but they are no longer there.

He had always thought that no matter when he went back, his mother would always be waiting for him at home.

Until his mother died suddenly, his world came crashing down.

It turns out that older people really can just leave when they want to.

Time waits for no one. The wealth obtained by consuming time and life will one day leave him in another form.

This car accident could have been avoided, but he was too tired at the time.

Because he had too much work on hand, he often stayed up late and didn't get enough rest.

When the truck hit him that day, with his normal reaction speed, he could have turned the steering wheel in time and avoided it safely.

He was so tired that his head felt dizzy, and when the truck drove towards him, his mind went blank.

He tried to move but couldn't, and when he finally could the car had already crashed into him.

He finally yanked the steering wheel with all his might.

If it weren't for his final effort, he would have been shattered to pieces by now.

Not only would he lose his life, but his assistant, who had been by his side and loyal to him all these years, would also die.

Gu Guotao feels scared when he thinks about it now.

It was precisely because of the life-and-death crisis that he became indifferent to many things.

Working hard every day, you often find yourself in a state of fatigue due to endless work. Not only will your physical fitness deteriorate, but at certain moments, it may even be fatal.

My son doesn’t want this kind of life now and has already thought of a specific plan to change it.

With this previous experience as a lesson, Gu Guotao felt that he had no reason to let his son disregard his own life and obey him.

He actually began to question the past ways.

However, he was also a little envious of his son, because the wife his son married was very considerate of him.

And he was not blindly angry. Before getting angry, he actually proposed an effective solution.

Gu Guotao sometimes can't help but wonder, if his lover was still alive, would there be someone to advise him when he was overdrawing his life to work?

However, given his stubborn character, no matter what anyone says, it will be of no use until he encounters something.

Gu Guotao smiled and shook his head, put aside all distracting thoughts, and began to work seriously.
