Chapter 173 Competitors
Listening to Gu Shiche's account, Gu Shiyu was able to recall the scene from that time based on Tian Tian's usual behavior.
"Is Xiao Hei afraid of her?"
"It's more than just fear; just hearing her voice makes me tremble. Did Dad tell you when the test results will be available?"
Gu Shiyu shook his head, "Not yet. But it'll be in the next couple of days."
The two fell silent, their eyes fixed on Mengmeng, who was playing with Xiao Hei.
They actually hoped that Mengmeng was the child left behind by the Gu family.
......
Gu Group.
"President Gu, President Chen from Qingshu Group wants to see you."
"Tell him I'm busy and don't have time to meet with guests today."
"it is good."
After the secretary left the office, Gu Yinshen put down his pen, took off his glasses, and rubbed his sore nose.
Qingshu Group has always regarded Gu's Group as its benchmark competitor, and the two companies often show interest in the same projects. However, in terms of experience and capability, Qingshu Group is no match for Gu's Group, and has repeatedly lost out to Gu's Group on projects.
Today, he personally came to visit, which can be described as a classic case of a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken with ill intentions.
Gu Shiyu picked up his phone and glanced at the time. There was only an hour left before he had to leave work. His mood was ruined, and he lost all interest in working.
He closed the documents in front of him, then stood up and picked up the coat hanging beside him.
"Mr. Chen, our CEO Gu is really unavailable to receive guests!"
The secretary's urgent voice came in, and Gu Yinshen watched as the doorknob turned.
He put down his coat and stood there waiting for the office door to open.

"Mr. Gu!"
Gu Yinshen looked at Chen Ci, who was smiling, and then his gaze passed over Chen Ci and landed on his secretary behind him, who looked worried. "It's alright, you can go back to work."
The secretary looked at Chen Ci with displeasure, closed the door, and left the office.
"President Gu, please don't blame your secretary. He tried to stop me, but I insisted on coming in," Chen Ci said.
Gu Yinshen didn't bother wasting time on him and went straight to the point, "President Chen, is there something important that you want to see me about?"
"I heard your wife has woken up." Chen Ci stared at Gu Yinshen. "I came here today specifically to congratulate President Gu. After all, when your wife passed away, President Gu was in a deep depression for a long time, and almost caused the Gu family to fall into ruin."
As competitors, they are also the people who know each other best.
Looking at the ill intent on Chen Ci's face, Gu Yinshen smiled and said, "President Chen may have misunderstood. My wife has always been safe and healthy. The rumors from back then were just because we had some unpleasant things going on, and she deliberately made it seem like she was dead."
Chen Ci clearly didn't believe it. Back then, Ruolan's death had caused quite a stir, and Old Madam Gu had even publicly claimed that Gu Yinshen's wife had become Ji Mengran.
"President Gu, we've been friends for years. You're just trying to fool me; you don't consider me a friend at all," Chen Ci said with a smile.
friend?
Gu Yinshen was amused by this remark, "President Chen, haven't you heard the rumors circulating outside?"
"What?" Chen Ci frowned.
"People outside say we're notoriously at odds, and we fight whenever we meet. We're not the friends Mr. Chen talks about," Gu Yinshen corrected Chen Ci, word by word.
They were all in the same circle, how could he not have heard of him? He was simply using an excuse to get closer to Gu Yinshen and try to get some information out of him. What he didn't expect was that Gu Yinshen would be so disrespectful.
Chen Ci's face turned pale and then black, so angry that he couldn't even speak.
"Besides my wife, Mr. Chen, is there anything else you need to tell me? If not, I have to go back. My wife and children are waiting for me at home. I don't need Mr. Chen's help; I won't be nagged whenever I go back." Gu Yinshen said as he put on his coat.
The implication of his words was clear enough. Even if Chen Ci had the thick skin, he couldn't force Gu Yinshen to stay. Besides, this was his office.
“Since Mr. Gu is joking about my family, why don’t you invite me to your home? I’d like to have dinner with you and see just how nice your family atmosphere is that makes you so eager to go home before it’s time to leave work,” Chen Ci said with a smile.
When it comes to being thick-skinned, if he claims to be number one, no one would dare to claim to be number two.
Gu Yinshen and he were not so close that it was difficult for Gu Yinshen to refuse him.
"Mr. Chen, maybe next time. Your sudden visit to my home has left me no time to prepare. Besides, I have many children at home, and seeing you unexpectedly might frighten them. If you really want to visit my home, Mr. Chen, let's do it another time. Let's both prepare beforehand." As Gu Yinshen spoke, he had already reached the office door and opened the doorknob.
The hosts have all left; how can a guest continue to stay?
Chen Ci reluctantly followed Gu Yinshen out of the office, then said sarcastically in exasperation, "The rumors are really true. As soon as Madam Gu woke up, Mr. Gu devoted himself entirely to his wife and children. But I've also heard rumors that Mr. Gu adopted a child, and I heard that the child is quite remarkable. How about this, I'll visit Mr. Gu's home tomorrow. We've already arranged it beforehand, so please don't try to find any excuse to refuse me tomorrow."
"Okay." Gu Yinshen replied with just one word.
"Why did President Gu suddenly agree so readily?" Chen Ci asked, puzzled.
Gu Yinshen smiled and asked in return, "What, Mr. Chen, you didn't really want to visit my home?"
"No," Chen Ci quickly denied. "I will be at President Gu's doorstep at 5 p.m. tomorrow."
"Okay." Gu Yinshen showed no reluctance and closed the elevator door as soon as he entered.
He verbally agreed, but once he arrived at the house, he changed his mind about the situation.
Chen Ci stood in front of the elevator, watching the numbers gradually decrease, before entering the elevator next to it. Back in his car, he picked up his phone and made a call.
"He's too cunning; you can't get anything out of him. But I haven't given up yet; I'll visit him at his home as a guest tomorrow."
A man's voice came through the phone, "Don't make any more mistakes."
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out what made his dead wife come back to life."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ci watched Gu Yinshen's car drive by.
Half an hour later, Gu Yinshen returned home.
Seeing that only Mengmeng and her two sons were in the living room, she looked around the room and asked, "Where is your mother?"
"Daddy's back!" Mengmeng stood up from the carpet and ran excitedly toward Gu Yinshen.
Gu Yinshen wasn't in a bad mood. He reached out and picked up Tiantian, asking, "Where's Mommy?"
"I'll stay upstairs with my sister." Mengmeng reached out and fiddled with the bow tie on Gu Yinshen's chest.
Is she throwing a tantrum again?
Gu Yinshen put Mengmeng down and said, "I'm going upstairs to see your mother."
