Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Didn't you two go out to play? Why are you back so soon?"

The nanny had prepared the meal in the kitchen. Gu Jiu helped set the table and prepared to eat. When he saw Gu Chen and Xiao Fen come back, he couldn't help but ask another question out of curiosity.

Gu Chen asked Xiaofen to sit on the sofa and have a rest. He ran to Gu Jiu and told him what he had seen and heard in the business hall.

"Dad, I didn't expect Zhang Yong to be such a person. Although my mom and his wife didn't have much contact, you still have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. He actually dared to use the opportunity of coming to Guangdong Province to purchase goods to keep a mistress."

Gu Jiu placed the plate on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down. "Does today's scene make you feel that all your secret help to him in the past was in vain?"

Gu Chen asked Xiaofen to come to the restaurant for dinner, and asked the nanny to go upstairs and call Gu Qi down to eat.

"I feel that way. I think you can't judge a person by his appearance. Zhang Yong looks honest, but he is actually a treacherous person."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Maybe he was sincere when he wanted to marry Lin Mei, but don't forget that people's hearts are fickle. After all these years, he still has no children. Maybe he has resentment in his heart."

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Being suddenly stared at by Gu Chen like this, Gu Jiu felt confused and touched his face uncomfortably, "Is there something on my face?"

Gu Chen frowned slightly and asked uncertainly, "Dad, you just said that people's hearts are fickle. Are you keeping a lover outside without telling my mom?"

"puff!"

Gu Jiu almost choked to death on his own saliva, "Ahem, you kid, you're talking nonsense. Am I that kind of person? The world can attest to my love for your mother. You can doubt anyone but me!"

If his wife knew this, he would be the one who would suffer.

-

Four years later.

In a three-courtyard courtyard in Nanluoguxiang, Kyoto.

Gu Chen brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Gu Jiu first. "I got this Mingqian tea from a classmate from the south. Try it. If you like it, get more from him next time."

Gu Jiuke didn't believe that he was so filial. He smelled the faint fragrance of tea and asked through the misty water vapor, "You can't have come back today to specially bring me tea. Is there something else?"

After years of polishing, Gu Jiu's temperament has become more and more stable. Looking at his son opposite him who is dressed in a neat shirt and trousers, he can only sigh: It’s great to be young.

Even the cloth cannot conceal their vigor and vitality, which is so enviable.

Gu Chen picked up the teacup, put it close to his nose and took a sniff. The refreshing tea fragrance was refreshing.

He couldn't help but curl his lips: "Dad, drinking tea is like tasting life, the taste must be slowly pondered and savored, you are too impatient today."

Gu Jiu sneered: "Don't try that on me. When I was young, your mother said that I drank tea like a cow drinking peony, and I couldn't pretend to be a refined person."

He found that his son was becoming more and more annoying as he grew up, and was not as cute as he was when he was a child.

Gu Chen put down his teacup and sighed slightly: "I am going to enter the communications industry."

Gu Jiu sat upright: "Communication industry?"

"Yes, research and development, and production of mobile phones."

Gu Jiu scratched his earlobe, thought for a while, and said, "I have never been involved in the communications industry, but electrical appliance factories should have something in common with communications. I don't know what the prospects are, but there are many brands in this industry now. If you want to make a breakthrough, you must be technologically ahead of them, otherwise you will have no place to stand."

Gu Chen nodded and said, "I know this. The current mobile phone market is full of digital phones with simple functions. They only have two communication functions: calling and texting. The models are limited to candy bar and flip phone. Moreover, flip phones are prone to problems if they are folded too much. There is a lot of room for improvement."

Gu Jiu didn't know how the phone could be improved. "Do you have any ideas? How can it be improved?"

“I want to develop a smart phone.”

"Smart phone?" Gu Jiu frowned. He had never heard of it.

Gu Chen briefly explained the functions of the smart phone and was very confident in this research and development. There was a smart phone in his own villa, and there was a prototype for the R&D team to copy. They could also make some quick money by producing copycat phones.

With the funds, the company's initial capital can be turned around, and further funds can be invested to allow the scientific research team to continue research and development.

One day, the team will be able to develop scientific research results that belong to its own factory.

"This is a great idea. How much money do you need?"

Gu Jiu felt that Gu Chen came to discuss this matter with him because he was short of funds and wanted to raise funds from him.

"Also, you haven't graduated from college yet. Will this affect your graduation?"

"No, I have my own plans." Gu Chen took a sip of tea and smiled, "My mother also supports me and invested in two small goals for me in the early stage."

"Hiss, your mother is so generous to you." Gu Jiu felt sour in his heart. The last time he wanted to buy a million-dollar car, she scolded him.

Gu Chen laughed happily. His mother knew that everyone in the future would have a smartphone, so she naturally supported him.

"It's right for you to focus on your career, but you can't delay your studies. Also, can you spare time to accompany your Xiaofen in the future?"

"I will make time to spend with her. Even if I am busy and have less time, I believe she can understand and support me."

Seeing his son so confident, Gu Jiu shook his head and said, "You let her go to Kyoto. She's unfamiliar with the place. If she runs into trouble and can't find you, and someone takes advantage of her, don't come to me and cry."

Gu Chen would not tell Gu Jiu that Xiaofen was his wife in the previous life. In the same school in the previous life, no male student caught her eye, and it would be impossible in this life.

Speaking of career, Gu Jiu also talked to his son about his plans for the first time. "I have discussed with your mother. When you graduate, I will let you take over our company and factory. Your mother and I started from scratch. It has not been easy along the way. We have worked hard for half of our lives. I want to accompany your mother to travel around in the second half of my life."

Gu Chen was shocked when he heard this. "Dad, don't joke with me. You and my mom have several factories, and there are also your two companies and other industries under them. Let alone my own company, just your two companies and factories alone are enough to make me vomit blood. How can I have the energy to run my own mobile phone factory?"

"I'm not kidding you. Your mother and I left our business to you and your sister. Erbao likes to play around and his ambitions are not here, so we can't force him. Those who are capable should do more work. We, the Gu family, will rely on you in the future."

Gu Chen stroked his forehead. He could already imagine what his future life would be like. Waking up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs should be the norm.

Gu Jiu patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Your mother and I have trained a group of loyal subordinates over the years. They will become your right-hand men in the future. As a boss, you don't need to do everything yourself. You should delegate authority appropriately. You just need to grasp the scale and manage them well."

-

After graduation, Gu Chen was forced to take over all the properties under his parents' name. Fortunately, the entire family business was in his hands. If there was any good investment, he only had to instruct his subordinates to do research and planning, and someone would help him arrange it with his consent.

The mobile phone brand he registered was extremely popular as soon as it was launched on the market and its global debut was extremely popular.

In terms of communication, it integrates functions such as making phone calls, sending text messages, chatting online, playing games, watching videos, and listening to music. Compared with the digital machines currently on the market, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.

With the development of the Internet, more functions can be developed in the future.

After her career became stable, Su Xiaofen graduated from university.

Su Xiaofen was assigned to work at Gu Chen's company right after graduation. They had been childhood sweethearts and had a stable relationship. Within a year, they entered the marriage hall.

In her married life, just like in her previous life, Su Xiaofen always handles the relationship between family and career well.

Whenever Gu Chen was too busy to take care of his family, the burden of maintaining the relationship between her husband's family and her natal family fell entirely on her.

Whenever Gu Jiu and Lin Shu had something to ask for help, they would go to their son, but as their son was usually out of town, they would always end up looking for Su Xiaofen.

Gu Jiu and Lin Shu both saw Su Xiaofen's filial piety. They were very satisfied with this daughter-in-law and always treated her as their daughter.

Their son's marriage and career are going smoothly, but what gives the couple the most headaches is their second child, Gu Qi. She is pretty and tall, a top student from a double first-class university. But when it comes to dating, she shows resistance all over.

She feels that she doesn't know the boys she meets in society well enough, and she feels that none of her high school and college classmates make her heart beat. In a word, if you want her to get married, you have to make her heart beat.

I am so attracted to him that I want to marry him, otherwise forget it.

Later, the couple realized that the more they interfered, the more fiercely Erbao resisted. They realized there was no point in trying to persuade him, so they just gave up and did nothing more.

Let young people do whatever they want and let everything depend on fate.

Gu Jiu and Lin Shu have traveled to many places over the years, and they would visit any scenic spots in each place whenever they were there.

Sometimes when Lin Shu saw Gu Jiu, who was always by her side and taking good care of her, she would think belatedly that perhaps the suffering she endured in her previous life was for the purpose of enjoying happiness in this life.

Take Lin Mei for example. In her previous life, she was used as a stepping stone and enjoyed the happiness that she should have enjoyed. But in this life, she has tasted all the bitterness of the world.

The calculated happiness could not last forever. After she divorced Jie Chunlei, she was trafficked to the northwest mountainous area and suffered all kinds of abuse. After finally escaping from that hell on earth, she thought she had found a man she could rely on for the rest of her life in the provincial capital. However, as she approached the midlife crisis, the man cheated on her again.

In the end, her health deteriorated, she had no children, her husband abandoned her, and she ended up living alone.

Many years later, at the end of the world in Hainan, facing the sea breeze, Lin Shu hugged Gu Jiu's arm, half of his body hung on him, and rubbed his head on his arm: "Gu Jiu, have you ever regretted marrying a country girl like me in this life?"

Gu Jiu lowered his head and chuckled, then he touched her forehead and said firmly, "I don't regret it."

The curve of Lin Shu's lips became bigger and bigger, and he sincerely thanked her: "Thank you for your care in this life."
