The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 69 Gu Hongtao's Face
As soon as Chu Jiaxue came downstairs, she smelled a strong aroma of fish.

"It smells so good! Aunt Liu, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"

The nanny, Aunt Liu, laughed and said, "I didn't make this. Mr. Lin cooked it himself. I can't compare to his cooking skills."

"Lin Chen?"

Chu Jiaxue looked surprised. He can cook?
Wearing an apron, Lin Chen carried a bowl of spicy fish slices out of the kitchen. Seeing Chu Jiaxue on the stairs, he smiled naturally and said, "You're done? Wash your hands and eat."

Chu Jiaxue felt strange. She silently washed her hands and then sat down at the table: "Grandpa, did you catch all these fish?"

Chu Baisen laughed and said, "This big grass carp was caught by Xiao Lin. Without him, we wouldn't have this meal tonight."

Lin Chen actually went fishing with his grandfather?
Chu Jiaxue was surprised and couldn't help but glance at Lin Chen. Was this guy so free?

Lin Chen untied his apron, sat down next to Chu Jiaxue, and said with a smile, "How does it taste?"

Chu Jiaxue picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and tasted it. The fish slices were tender and smooth, melting in her mouth. They were spicy, numbing, and fragrant, and very delicious.

"Delicious! I didn't know you were such a good cook!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's alright, it's fine for making some home-style dishes."

Looking at Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue sitting opposite him, Chu Bosen felt that they were a perfect match, a match made in heaven, and he was immediately filled with joy.

This grandson-in-law is quite something!
He's a capable person with a good personality. He can cook and can even calmly go fishing with me. He's a reliable person, and my granddaughter will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life!

While he was eating, Lin Chen's phone rang; it was another unfamiliar number.

"Which one?"

"Xiao Lin, it's your Uncle Gu. What are you busy with?"

Gu Hongtao?
Lin Chen was taken aback. Why would he call him?
"We're eating right now. What's up? Tell me."

"Will you have time to come over later? I need your help with something."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression subtle.

Why are you being so polite?
And he even called himself Xiaolin in a friendly tone?
This is the first time ever; before, they always called each other by their first names.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Did President Liu go to your side?" Gu Hongtao didn't expect Lin Chen to guess the reason so quickly, and felt extremely embarrassed. After all, his attitude towards him before was very different from his attitude now that he needed his help. The contrast was obvious.

Putting aside others, Gu Hongtao himself felt his face burning with embarrassment.

But there was nothing they could do; that was Liu Zhenhao, the real estate tycoon!
Liu Zhenhao came here this time to develop a commercial district in Pingjiang. To reduce unnecessary trouble, he will find a local real estate company to develop it together. Weren't most of the guests at last night's banquet there for this cooperation opportunity?
Partnering with real estate tycoon Liu Zhenhao to develop a commercial district is not just about making money; more importantly, this collaboration will bring unparalleled improvements to all aspects of the company's operations.

Whoever gets this cooperation opportunity will rise to the top!
The Gu family's Haitao Real Estate was of average size and could not compete with others. Although Gu Hongtao longed for it, he was also aware of his own limitations. However, he never expected Liu Zhenhao to suddenly visit him and say that he needed Lin Chen's help to rescue people. He asked Liu Zhenhao to help make connections and put in a good word for him. He promised to reward him handsomely if the matter was resolved.

Why would he want to miss such an opportunity to get in touch with Liu Zhenhao?

Gu Hongtao adopted a parental tone and said firmly, "Yes, he's at our house. You'd better come over right now."

Liu Zhenhao visits Gu Jia?
Lin Chen suddenly felt an urge to laugh. He had found out from last night's banquet that he was Gu Yuexi's boyfriend, so he wanted to use the Gu family to make it difficult for him to refuse, thus forcing him to take action.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhenhao has no idea that his relationship with Gu Yuexi is fake, and he doesn't care about the Gu family at all.

If he could disregard even Gu Yuexi's feelings, then he certainly wouldn't give Gu Hongtao any face.

Liu Zhenhao has gone to the wrong temple while carrying a pig's head...

Hearing Gu Hongtao's deliberately tough tone, Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm having dinner right now and can't leave. I'm not familiar with President Liu either, so I won't go over. You guys have a good meal and drinks. That's all for now. Bye."

Lin Chen hung up the phone and smiled at Chu Jiaxue: "Sorry... Let's eat fish!"

Gu family.

Gu Hongtao was on the phone, while Liu Zhenhao sat on the sofa next to him with a calm smile, exuding an air of composure as if he had everything under control.

After learning about Lin Chen from Mo Dahong, Liu Zhenhao instructed his secretary to check the banquet hall's video footage. He originally wanted to see who Lin Chen was in close contact with so that he could find a suitable person to act as a go-between. However, he did not expect to see Gu Yuexi, who was acting intimately with Lin Chen. After checking and asking around, Liu Zhenhao was amused.

The joy of accident!

Lin Chen is actually the prospective son-in-law of Gu Hongtao, the general manager of Haitao Real Estate, and judging from the video, Gu Hongtao is not satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.

Since that's the case, as soon as Gu Hongtao speaks, Lin Chen has no choice but to agree quickly and try to make a good impression on his future father-in-law who doesn't like him.
As for Gu Hongtao, he's also in the real estate industry, so wouldn't it be easy for him to be controlled with just a few words?
