CHAPTER 384: CHAPTER 231: DARE TO LEAVE? NEED A LESSON!_4

Gu Yucheng put down his briefcase and then sat down on the sofa, sipping on aromatic coffee.

Half an hour passed!

Director Lin was still nowhere to be seen.

An hour passed!

There was still no sign of Director Lin.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.

The front desk staff, with a smile, said to Gu Yucheng: "President Gu, the workday has come to an end! Director Lin is still in a meeting, and he has to attend another meeting downtown this afternoon, I’m afraid he won’t be able to meet with President Gu today."

"Then, I’ll call Director Lin later," Gu Yucheng had no choice but to leave.

His assistant, Lu Fei, who was driving the car, said: "President Gu, this Director Lin must be up to something. How could he not have even a moment to meet?"

For Gu Yucheng, who had long been mingling in the business world, how could he not know!

"But, President Gu, if Director Lin won’t meet with us, who is pulling the strings?" Lu Fei didn’t understand.

Gu Yucheng tossed his briefcase aside, then leaned back lazily and coolly in the back seat, "If you want to know who’s pulling the strings, turn the car around and see whom this surnamed Lin will meet!"

So Lu Fei did just that.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before Director Lin, with his potbelly, emerged from the Land and Resources Office and left in his official car.

Lu Fei quietly followed behind.

The car stopped at a low-key farmhouse courtyard. Director Lin got out of the car and walked in.

Once inside, he went up to a small wooden building by the creek and said with a smile: "Doctor Gu, receiving your call, I was indeed a little surprised..."

He came forward, and Gu Qingchen embraced him, "Big brother Lin, long time no see!"

"Indeed, it has been a long time!" Director Lin gave him a punch, "Doctor Gu isn’t right anymore, I should be calling you President Gu, right?"

"Don’t make fun of me. You know what I like, don’t you?" Gu Qingchen gestured for him to sit down, "How is your father’s health?"

A few years ago, Director Lin’s father had suddenly suffered a stroke and became hemiplegic, and it was Gu Qingchen who had personally treated him.

At the time, Gu Qingchen had refused the Lin Family’s generous reward, and naturally, they kept this favor in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, there would be further interactions between them.

"I have him do rehabilitation on schedule, maintain regular habits, and strictly control his diet," Director Lin laughed, "He complains about me every day! But the more he complains, the stronger he becomes..."

Gu Qingchen also laughed and raised his glass, "Big brother Lin, thank you very much for today..."

"Don’t mention it!" Director Lin also raised his glass, "It’s been a long time since we’ve had a drink together! What are your plans moving forward?"

"To work hard and grow!" Gu Qingchen didn’t hide it from him.

Director Lin raised his glass: "Although I still hoped you would be a doctor, as a brother, I support all your decisions! I won’t give this piece of land to Gu Yucheng!"

The two chatted a bit more, and then Director Lin discreetly departed by car.

At this moment, Gu Yucheng walked in from outside, and when he saw that the man sitting by the window was Gu Qingchen, he knew that it must have been Gu Qingchen who was up to no good!

Gu Qingchen was holding a wine glass, gently swirling it, the red liquid, the aromatic scent, and the natural beauty by the creek, with the water flowing gently...

Gu Yucheng approached, "Gu Qingchen, what do you mean by this?"

"What could I mean?" Gu Qingchen leisurely sipped the red wine in his glass, "Whatever you think it means, that’s what it means!"

"Was it you who told Director Lin not to meet with me?" Gu Yucheng slapped the table, speaking ominously.

A faint smile appeared on Gu Qingchen’s handsome face: "Just blame your own incompetence! Do you know what it means to be the eternal runner-up?"

In the Gu Family, Gu Yucheng was the second young master, but he was merely an illegitimate child!

As long as Gu Qingchen was around, he would forever be the runner-up!

Gu Yucheng overturned the table with a single hand, "Gu Qingchen, do you really think that you can secure a foothold in Gu Group? It’s not like a single piece of land is going to squeeze me out..."

Gu Qingchen elegantly lifted his wine glass: "Let me tell you as well, not just anyone can become a doctor by donning a doctor’s coat! Also, keep your woman in line, don’t let Bei Ran see her again!"

"What? Are you afraid that Bei Ran will find out that you got drunk six years ago because of Ji Su?" Gu Yucheng sneered coldly.
