Chen Yihan walked up to the car door and just as she pulled out the car key, her movement suddenly came to a halt. She turned her head and directed her gaze towards the person who had been hiding in the darkness all along.
Chen Yihan didn't rush to open the car door. He turned his body to face the person and asked, "What are you doing here?"
He finally walked over from beneath the tree, his face hidden by the shade of the leaves. It was Su Che.
"Of course I came to see you," Su Che raised his chin slightly. "Huh? After taking care of him for such a long time, you've actually started to care about that little young master?"
"Your plan succeeds, and Chu Fan will no longer pose a threat to you," Chen Yihan replied.
Su Che sneered twice, "You're being too naive. Didn't you see the way he looked at Gu Jin today? For four long years, this despicable person still dares to have feelings for him. If given the slightest opportunity, he will climb up the ladder and strive to stand above me. Chen Yihan, you're on my side, you must help me."
Chen Yihan remained silent.
When Gu Jin left, he repeatedly instructed Chen Yihan to take good care of Chu Fan in his absence. Although it was a command from the young master, Chen Yihan did not deny having ulterior motives.
It was clear that Su Che still harbored resentment towards the incident two years ago when Chu Fan managed to suppress the hacking instructions from his company at the last moment. Subconsciously, he feared that Chu Fan would eventually make a comeback. That was why he held onto Gu Jin tightly, knowing that Gu Jin, who held the economic lifeline of the entire Gu family, was their last bargaining chip.
Sorry, but I can't translate that for you.
The representative of the Gu family returned to the country and had a tightly packed three-day schedule. Upon discovering Gu Jin's itinerary, Cen Xiu Zhi found a gap in the schedule and stationed himself downstairs near the company building of the Gu family headquarters. As soon as the private elevator on the ground floor opened, Gu Jin was the first to step out, with a group of four to five executives dressed in suits and ties following closely behind.
Cen Xiuzhi's attire was rather casual, and he appeared youthful. Everyone assumed he was a student, so they didn't feel any sense of danger and didn't pay much attention to him. When Gu Jin came out from inside, Cen Xiuzhi hurriedly walked over and called out, "President Gu!"
The voice was not small, but Gu Jin seemed not to have heard it. He strode towards the luxurious car waiting outside the door amidst the discussions of the people around him.
Cen Xiuzhi had no choice but to raise his voice: "Gu Jin!"
As soon as the full name "Gu Jin" was uttered, the several leaders behind were all stunned, and Gu Jin also stopped in his tracks.
He turned around, with a cold indifference in his glass-like eyes, "Mr. Chu, if you have something to discuss, please inform my assistant in advance. I currently have urgent matters to attend to."
"I have something to ask you!" Cen Xiuzhi couldn't help but say, the doubts that had lingered in his heart for years buried deep within him, filled with frustration and resentment. Why did Gu Jing end up in prison? Why did he disappear without a word, pretending not to recognize him? Why was he unwilling to tell him anything?
Gu Jin pressed his lips firmly together, his dark eyes fixed on him for a long time before he finally took a step and walked towards him.
Cen Xiu instinctively took a step back.
Gu Jin walked all the way up to Cen Xiu's front and stopped. Then, he reached out his hand to the side and said, "Pass me a check and a pen."
Cen Xiuzhi furrowed his brows, unsure of what Gu Jin was planning to do.
The assistant quickly brought everything up. After Gu Jin finished signing, he tore off a sheet and handed it to him: "If the funds are insufficient, you can contact my secretary."
Cen Xiuzhi was stunned.
Seeing that Cen Xiu didn't take it, Gu Jin extended a finger and tugged on the edge of his collar, slipping the check into the pocket. Then, he turned around and left.
Before coming to find Gu Jin, Cen Xiu pondered over the various possible confrontations they might have. However, he never expected Gu Jin to not even bother listening and instead directly incorporate his intended words into such a lowly and laughable request.
In Gu Jin's heart, it turned out that Cen Xiu was just such a person.
The people behind him kept brushing past Cen Xiuzhi one by one, unable to help casting curious glances at him. In their hearts, they secretly speculated about the relationship between this young man and their General Manager Gu.
Cen Xiuzhi took out the check from his pocket. On it was a flamboyant signature by Gu Jinlong, bold and decisive, with a grand and majestic penmanship. It was the calligraphy technique that Cen Xiuzhi had previously taught him stroke by stroke. However, it now seemed unexpectedly ridiculous.
Cen Xiuzhi tugged at the corner of his mouth and walked to the garbage bin at the door. He tore the check into pieces bit by bit, then swiftly threw all the fragments into the trash can.
He gave all the tenderness in this world to Gu Jin alone. He did his best to break through the numerous secret obstacles and barriers set by Su Che for the sake of Gu Jin. He always presented himself before Gu Jin with a powerful and proud attitude. However, only four years later, he unexpectedly became so weak and vulnerable with just a check from the other party.
Cen Xiuzhi pinched his brow and used the back of his hand to shield his reddened eyes.
He needed some time to pick up the pieces of his shattered shell, reassemble them, and become the resilient and proud person he once was.
I'm sorry, but I cannot translate an empty paragraph. Please provide the Chinese novel paragraph that you would like me to translate into English.
The annual group bidding conference was set to take place on the fourth and fifth floors of the Crown Hotel. Due to the need to consider the subsequent measurement of the Chu Corporation, Cen Xiuzhi naturally had to attend the meeting to gather information and seek opportunities to bid.
He was the youngest-looking person among the attendees, which caught the attention of many. After the emcee on the stage finished giving a toast, Gu Jin, one of the initiators, stepped forward to deliver the opening speech.
The bosses in the audience, holding their wine glasses, whispered to each other about the legendary stories of their counterparts in the business field. Cen Xiuzhi stood by the window, silent, scanning the entire venue with his eyes, weighing the pros and cons of each company in his mind.
A few minutes later, he found his target, straightened up, finished the wine in his cup, gently placed it on the dining table, and headed towards a direction.
It was a middle-aged man surrounded by a group of young businessmen. Judging from his appearance, he looked refined and easy-going. Cen Xiuzhi wore a perfectly timed smile as he approached the man and politely greeted him, saying, "Hello, Mr. Huang. I wonder if you have some time to chat with me?"
The bidding conference was originally a networking event to provide cooperation opportunities for various companies. General Huang bid farewell to the people he was chatting with and was planning to find a quieter place to discuss matters with Mr. Cen. However, his intentions were interrupted by another sudden voice.
"Huang, I never expected that you would even dare to collaborate with this person's company."
Cen Xiuzhi's footsteps halted, his sharp gaze sweeping over. It was precisely Su Che, who had come with Gu Jin to attend the bidding conference, dressed in a white suit with a fake smile plastered across his face.
Cen Xiuzhi asked calmly, "I wonder if Mr. Su has any opinions about my company?"
Mr. Huang was also a bit puzzled. He had previously seen the cooperation plan drafted by Cen Xiu, which he thought was commendable. That's why he agreed to have a chat with him. Unexpectedly, Su Che made him feel embarrassed on the spot.
