Chapter 681: Chapter 291: Played till Tears_2

In fact, this too was a form of intimacy; if it had been a regular client, no matter how lowly their position, he would not have been so casual.

The little secretary, holding back a laugh, nodded, "Okay."

Then, gesturing with a wave of her hand to Su Huai and the other, she said, "This way, please!"

Andy sat directly on the visitor’s sofa in the secretary’s office, not budging. Only Gu Jiuyue and Su Huai reached the door, and upon hearing the invitation, stepped into the office.

Inside the office, Zuo Zongcai, having heard the words "you two," suddenly felt something was off.

Two?

That little puppy surely wouldn’t be outrageous enough to bring an assistant in too, would he?

Zuo, puzzled, looked up. The next second, his face visibly stiffened, his mouth slowly opening, his pupils dilating increment by increment.

"Eh?! Yueyue?!"

Holy shit!

Su Huai, you son of a bitch!

Zuo Zongcai shot up like a sprung trap, rushing out from behind his desk, both shocked and hurried.

"Yueyue, why are you here?" he blurted out, but then immediately realized this was a mistake and quickly corrected himself, "Come here, let uncle have a look at you, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. How have you been recently?"

While sprinting over, the confusion on his face swiftly transformed into enthusiastic warmth, and it was of a type that suggested deep concern and pleasant surprise.

"It’s so rare for you to remember to come and see Uncle Zuo, I am so happy! Come come, sit down, sit down!"

Before Gu Jiuyue could speak, he immediately turned to the secretary again, "Little Ying, go on, prepare the best coffee, and squeeze some fresh juice, for snacks and fruits, whatever you think is best, hurry up!"

The whole room was just watching him perform.

The little secretary, with a solemn expression and her heart in her throat, went off to take care of things. She recognized who the girl was, but what about the boy?

The boy, with a smile, extended a hand to Zuo Zongcai, "No need for the trouble, Mr. Zuo, just make me some instant coffee. Anything fancier and I won’t be used to it."

Zuo Zongcai’s lips quivered with rage.

Family members, who can fathom them?

The little rascal not only blindsides me but also bites down and won’t let go!

In the moment Gu Jiuyue couldn’t see, Zuo glared at Gou Huai malevolently.

But as soon as Gu turned her head back, he was all smiles again.

Deal with it. Sichuanese tend either to have mastered the art of face-changing, or to have been whipped into submission by their wives.

"Uncle Zuo, have a seat as well."

Little Gu sat neatly on the sofa, legs together, hands clasped in front, the very picture of serenity and gentility.

"I’ve come to have fun; I plan to ask Su Huai to take me to Disney. You guys carry on with your talk, no need to mind me."

Zuo Zongcai wanted nothing more than to ignore Gou Huai, intending to continue chatting with little Gu, but Gou Huai immediately cut in, "Right, tight schedule, big tasks. Uncle Zuo, shall we get right to it?"

I!

Zuo Zongcai really wanted to curse. You filthy puppy, aren’t you even trying to disguise your debt collection?

He finally understood why old man Gu would explode every time Su Huai’s name came up. This kid really had a talent for provoking people, he seriously needed a hammering!

"Alright alright, let’s get right to the discussion, and then Uncle Zuo will take you guys out for some good food."

Zuo Zongcai did not dare to show his anger and forced himself to swallow it.

If Su Huai had been the only one there, he would have lashed out at the young dog, not caring an iota for the injury he might inflict. Go vent your anger on old man Gu, if you two kill each other I won’t shed a tear.

But in front of Gu Jiuyue, he had to keep it all inside no matter how angry he was.

Su Huai had him firmly by the pulse.

They took their respective seats.

The visitor area had two long sofas facing each other, with single-seat sofas on the side.

Su Huai plopped down next to Gu Jiuyue, so Zuo had no choice but to sit opposite them.

"Su, you seem in such a rush you can’t wait a single moment, what’s the matter?"

Zuo Zongcai began as amiably as possible, thinking: let’s get this over with fast, the longer it takes, the more troublesome it will be.

"If there’s anything Uncle Zuo can help with, don’t hesitate to ask, I will do my utmost!"

That was the true mark of a wise man, knowing when the situation was beyond salvaging, immediately shedding his pride and minimizing his losses.

But how could Su Huai let him off so easily?

You do need help, yes, but this isn’t about favors; it’s about investment.

"Uncle Zuo, let me first report to you about Xingyu’s achievements!"

Gou Huai began slowly, his attitude one of sincerity.

"You are my benefactor, providing significant support for the development of Xingyu. Now, having achieved some results, I immediately thought to let you know, to share the joy of success with you..."

Listen to this spiel, how calculated!

Zuo Zongcai thought: I don’t want a damn thing to do with sharing your bloody joy. I’m the one you and your father-in-law have conned together, and just because I haven’t complained doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt!

But what could he do? The money was already invested.

He had gotten 20 million back from Gu Tongshu but still put in over 30 million himself, as well as a good deal of time and opportunity costs.

Now, to stop playing along with little Su would be to take a pure loss.

"Mhmm, that’s considerate of you, Uncle is very gratified!"

Zuo Zongcai put on an extremely pleased façade, then composed himself attentively, "Go on, I’m listening!"

Thus Su Huai broke into a thorough praise of Xingyu.

"Currently, we have net assets... cash flow... the number of streamers and employees... we signed with the local government of Hangzhou..."

"I don’t quite understand the enterprise valuation method, but I think, a fair estimate for Xingyu now would be between 1.5 to 2 billion..."

"And what’s most important is not how investors perceive us, but rather our own health..."

"I personally have a vision or maybe you could call it a strategy for Xingyu, the things we can achieve and should achieve, it implies a reconstruction of the entire industry..."
