Chapter 393: Chapter 183 Natural Father-in-law and Son-in-law

"Bang!"

In the chairman’s office at the top floor of the Finance and Gold Center in the CBD central area, Gu Tongshu slammed the file onto the desk.

"Investigate! I want a clear investigation, what is he planning to do!"

Cold sweat kept streaming down Wang Gang’s forehead as he thought: Isn’t it clear already? With all that money spent to prepare the battleground, he’s definitely up to that something...

But he didn’t dare to utter a single word, only asking timidly, "Should I send someone to stand guard at the hotel entrance?"

"Do you even have a brain?"

Gu Tongshu exploded into a furious tirade, "If...would it be too late if I rushed over now?"

He didn’t elaborate on the "if," but Wang Gang understood.

If Puppy were to act swiftly, by the time Mr. Gu received the notice and rushed over, things might have already happened...

Wang Gang wasn’t failing to see it; he was simply in a difficult position.

I’m just an assistant, how could I get involved in this kind of matter?!

"Then..."

After some thought, he tentatively asked, "Or should I warn Su Huai?"

Gu Tongshu massaged his temples, feeling throbbing pain that twitched sporadically inside his head.

"No! We cannot tip our hand to him!"

The cunning old fox quickly made a decision, "Startling the snake by hitting the grass isn’t the right approach. If we startle him now, it will only delay the situation temporarily. If he turns around and finds another opportunity to book a room at another hotel, it will certainly be more covert."

Now the enemy is exposed while we remain hidden; there’s still a strategy to consider.

However, once we alert Puppy, it’ll be difficult to guard against him afterward.

Wang Gang looked distressed: "If it really doesn’t work, should we have Wu Yong strictly control Miss, so they don’t get a chance to go out in private?"

"Don’t spout such impractical, rotten ideas!"

Gu Tongshu shook his head in agony, thinking: If Yueyue doesn’t want to comply, even my presence won’t make a difference, let alone Wu Yong stopping her!

It’s distressing!

Being a father... how can it be this tough?!

The current problem is, since he cannot stop his daughter from playing with Su Huai, spending so much time together will inevitably give that Puppy a chance, and he’s no ordinary kid.

Unless...

"Smash it."

Suddenly, a third person’s voice rang out in the office. It belonged to a middle-aged man sitting quietly in the visitor’s area of the office, with salt-and-pepper short hair and a thin face, his voice steady as machinery.

"Have a chat with him alone until he’s willing to make a commitment. Don’t pin your hopes on Yue’s rationality."

It was a very sensible and rational suggestion, but Gu Tongshu’s face immediately showed anger.

"You want me to appease him?!"

Impossible!

I, Gu Tongshu, will not bow down to that Puppy!

"Mr. Gu, I can talk to him on your behalf."

Zuo Zongcai remained as calm as before, getting right to the point: "Your energy should be spent on more important matters, not entangled with a young man. A cost of eighteen million is well worth it, isn’t it?"

Wang Gang shrank his head between his legs, not daring to make a sound.

Zuo Zongcai was his boss, the director of the president’s office and assistant to the chairman at the Gu Corporation, commonly known as the chief aide and effectively the number four executive in the corporation.

Thus, he had the influence and significance to persuade Gu Tongshu, but Wang Gang was terrified.

Boss, your reasoning is sound, but you don’t know what has happened!

That kid... he’s fought with Mr. Gu!

Hearing Zuo Zongcai’s words, Gu Tongshu laughed bitterly.

"Alright! You go handle him!"

He looked at Zuo Zongcai with a profound gaze, saying eerily, "If it’s under twenty million, you can decide on my behalf. But if you can’t handle it, and it goes above, you pay the excess, how about that?"

Can’t even handle a first-year college student with twenty million?!

Zuo Zongcai managed a wry smile and nodded calmly, "Okay, I’ll talk to him. You should head back to the Magic Capital for the meeting."

"Heh!"

Gu Tongshu scoffed, grabbed his overcoat, and walked out of the office.

He knew of Zuo Zongcai’s remarkable abilities, particularly his knack for negotiation, and how he always managed to exploit people’s weak spots. However, he had an enchanted-like confidence in Su Huai—this kid, you can’t handle!

The son-in-law of I, Gu Tongshu... pah, pah!

A brat I, Gu Tongshu, can’t defeat is a monster you’ve never encountered before.

Do I not want to bend?

I know too well that bending is utterly useless; the more you yield, the more he will take advantage of you!

As Gu Tongshu opened the door, a joyous thought suddenly crossed his mind: Hey, I still ache for those two cars, but you’ve come forward voluntarily, so at least you should take half the responsibility, right?

Indeed, tricking people is truly joyful, no wonder that Puppy is so ruthless...

Mr. Zuo’s aide, I look forward to seeing your performance!

...

Su Huai received the message the next morning, completely baffled.

Mr. Gu’s chief aide?

Is Gu Tongshu afraid to see me himself?

At noon after school, he went alone to the coffee shop across from the school to meet Zuo Zongcai.

"Hello."

"Su student, please have a seat."

Zuo Zongcai was very cordial, but his smiles were few—just that kind of modest, obligatory smile that was lightly amiable, from the start carrying a hint of an impersonal and business-like distance.

Coupled with his deep, intelligent gaze, his unhurried movements, his meticulously put-together attire, and the distinct, clean palms resting on the table...

He presented an incredibly powerful, hard-to-deceive impression of a high-ranking and influential elite.

"Today, I’m here to discuss something on behalf of Mr. Gu with you," he said, getting straight to the point.

Then, the next line was, "Mr. Gu’s core demand is to get a promise from you."

Zuo Zongcai’s trained eyes could not find any sign of emotion on Su Huai’s face, so he softened his approach almost immediately, becoming as warm as a spring breeze.

"As for why it’s me... it’s because I was quite curious about you, Su student, and thus gladly accepted this assignment to have a chat with the genius young man Wang Gang speaks of, considering it both a duty and a friendly exchange out of personal interest."
