Even the God of Quick Transmigration Needs an Assessment
Chapter 13 The Poor Little Gamer Being Cyberbullied 13
Qi Zhen didn't show it on her face, but she was cursing inwardly. She had actually let someone get the chance to go on a blind date with the fairy. It was all Wen Qian's fault. She had been a bit careless. She would find him a bunch of things to do when she got back.
Before leaving, she exchanged contact information with Yuewu, which made her feel better. She decided to invite the fairy to go out with her alone in the future, and there would definitely be no third person to interfere.
Looking at his phone, Yuewu felt a surge of joy as he added the first friend besides Baili's parents. This was the first friend he had made in the small world.
After reading it over and over, I felt I had a much better understanding of friendship. Just then, 66 appeared and said, "Wuwu, you're amazing! You'll definitely pass the test and become the greatest god!"
Yuewu and 66 exchanged a few jokes before she was about to meet up with Baili's parents when she felt a gaze fixed on her. Looking in that direction, she saw it was Gu Chengzhou.
Remembering that he had won the opportunity to go on a blind date with her, and that she was going out with him the next day, she lifted her skirt and took small steps closer. Because he was so tall, she had to look up at him, her eyelashes fluttering as she smiled gently.
"Your name is Gu Chengzhou, right? Let's add each other as friends, so you can ask me to go out with you tomorrow," he said, handing over his phone and showing him the QR code, gesturing for him to scan it.
Gu Chengzhou's heart pounded harder and harder as she got closer. Despite his usually aloof nature, he grinned at this moment, making him look somewhat silly.
He was 187 cm tall, much taller than the girl. He could see her looking up at him with a smile, her pretty face upturned. He could also see her long, curled eyelashes like little fans, her round and lively eyes, and even her shallow dimples.
He bent down, scanned the QR code with his phone, and added the account with a beep. Yuewu saw that the account had been added and waved goodbye to him.
Then she turned and left, clutching her skirt as she ran. Her parents were waiting for her outside, and she needed to hurry over.
Gu Chengzhou watched the girl walk further and further away until she was out of sight before turning his gaze back to his friend's profile picture with the moon icon. Thinking of something, he typed something on his phone and couldn't help but laugh after finishing.
As the banquet was drawing to a close, Yu Tianyi bid farewell to the Baili couple and prepared to leave. Only then did he realize that his good friend was missing. After searching for a long time, he finally found Gu Chengzhou in a corner, his eyes filled with spring-like affection.
With a mix of shock, doubt, and curiosity, he tiptoed over and saw his best friend grinning at a friend named Xiao Guai. He suddenly spoke up.
"Who is this little darling?"
Gu Chengzhou was startled and quickly turned off his phone. When he saw it was him, he glared at him and said, "Next time, don't let me talk to you from behind. I'm leaving."
He didn't answer his question, but just said it was getting late, and walked out while putting his phone in his pocket.
Yu Tianyi was genuinely curious. The fact that he was keeping it a secret was suspicious. He sensed something was amiss and quickly followed him, asking repeatedly, "Brother Gu, tell me, who is this Xiao Guai? Aren't I your good brother?"
Gu Chengzhou quickened his pace, and Yu Tianyi took a big step to catch up, the two maintaining a distance that was neither too far ahead nor too far behind.
"Brother Gu, slow down."
“Tell me, I promise I won’t tell anyone else, I swear.”
One by one, the guests left, and the banquet slowly came to an end, but... things were not over yet.
Just now,
Old Chen was shocked to see his grandson, whom he had always valued, cause such a mess at the banquet. The matter itself was not a big deal; at most, it would only give Chen Junhan a reputation for being a womanizer, but it wouldn't have much of an impact on a man.
But the important thing is that the issues behind this are huge. The Qi family is one of the top upper-class families in the area. If they can marry Qi Zhen, it will be fine. Even if they can't be together, the cooperation between the two families is almost complete and won't have much impact on the Chen family, since their main business is not real estate.
If they had broken up normally, that would have been fine. There are plenty of excellent marriage partners in aristocratic families, and Qi Zhen wouldn't have been an exception. But then Su Miaomiao appeared. Regardless of whether they were actually related or not, Chen Junhan's standing up for her at the banquet showed that their relationship wasn't innocent.
After the two started dating, the Chen and Qi families reached several cooperation agreements. At Qi Zhen's request, the Qi family even conceded 30% of their profits. Now that the cooperation is progressing smoothly, the man has broken up with her and is even having an ambiguous relationship with another woman, inevitably raising suspicions.
Did the man have ulterior motives from the very beginning?
Did the man's family know about this?
Although the Chen family has been doing well in recent years, it is still relatively weak in City A. The Qi family, on the other hand, even the family of Qi Zhen's close friend, has been rooted in City A for a long time. The various families are intertwined and their influence is so strong that they are all in the same boat.
Chen Jiacai has only been in City A for 10 years, how can he compare to the established families in City A?
Chen Junhan even dared to publicly insult and threaten Qi Zhen and her friends. If it were just one family, it wouldn't be a problem, but if it were a group, it would be dangerous. In recent years, the Chen family has developed in City A and taken away a lot of people's share of the pie, so of course, many people are envious.
Other businesses, seeing this, would inevitably worry. If you dare to scheme against the Qi family today, who knows what kind of scheme you might use against us next time, especially in such a disgusting way? We are all business people who value integrity. Although the business world is like a battlefield, we don't want to be schemed against by our partners.
After learning about this, Old Chen had already anticipated all of this, but things weren't that bad. After all, everyone does business for profit, and there's nothing that money can't solve.
Chen Junhan's performance this time was really terrible. It's just a woman. Even if it could be resolved privately, it's better to put it in the open and cause the Chen family to suffer a loss for nothing. What an unlucky brat.
It seems like none of his family members have the knack for business. His ancestors weren't good at it, his son is focused on scientific research and has no interest in business whatsoever. The only redeeming quality they have is that they have a grandson who can inherit the family business. Chen Junhan has a bit of talent in business, but that's about it.
Old Chen had experienced and witnessed the rise and fall of his family. He still remembered the scene before his father's death.
It was noon that day, the sun was so bright it was blinding, the weather was dry, a tear fell down but evaporated quickly, only the tear stain on his face proved its existence. His father was no longer breathing, his eyes were sunken, his hands were cold, but he gripped his wrist with unusual strength, as if using all his strength to tell him that he must revitalize the Chen family and bring it back to its former glory.
He kept these words firmly in his heart and never forgot them, so he would not allow anyone to threaten the Chen family, not even his grandson.
After the guests were seated, Old Chen, still leaning on his cane, slowly walked over to Chen Junhan and Su Miaomiao. Ignoring Chen Junhan, he turned to Su Miaomiao and said in a kind tone,
"Ms. Su, the Chen family has not been hospitable today, so please leave now. As for the company, please leave as well. I will arrange for the finance department to provide you with the compensation you deserve."
Su Miaomiao had just vaguely sensed from Old Chen's and the people around her that things seemed to be out of control, but she didn't expect that they would fire her. She was unwilling to accept it. She had just fallen in love with someone. She really didn't know about the relationship between Chen Junhan and Qi Zhen. Besides, they weren't even together. She had even been harassed by Qi Zhen many times. She was also a victim. Was it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?
She didn't dare reply. Although Old Chen's tone was kind, she could feel his cloudy eyes staring directly at her, making her heart skip a beat and filling her with unprecedented fear. She instinctively looked at Chen Junhan, seeking his protection.
Upon noticing this, Chen Junhan immediately looked away. He couldn't defy his grandfather yet, so he could only make things difficult for Su Miaomiao for now. He would make it up to her properly once he had complete control of the Chen family.
She was utterly disappointed. She could sense that Chen Junhan was interested in her. Out of a certain mentality, she pretended not to understand and maintained an ambiguous relationship with Chen Junhan. Before this, she thought there were still some feelings between them, but for him, it was something that could be discarded at the slightest threat.
Su Miaomiao looked embarrassed and said in a weak voice, "I know, I will leave." After saying that, she couldn't stand it anymore and turned to run away. As passing waiters and security guards walked by, she quickened her pace.
Leaving this embarrassing place was her only thought at the moment.
After Su Miaomiao left, Old Chen's face showed resentment. His eyes were sharp as hooks, and he said in a cold voice, "You don't need to attend the banquet either. Go home and don't embarrass the Chen family outside."
Chen Junhan was unwilling, but he could only obediently agree, "Okay, Grandpa."
After Chen Junhan left, Old Chen watched silently, and said lightly, "This young man is not worth planning anything with." Then, he composed himself, put on a smile, and returned to the center of the banquet hall, standing at the main table to raise his glass to thank all the guests for coming.
The undercurrents seemed to subside, and the butler who had served Old Master Chen for many years knew that the young master's position might be in jeopardy.
