Chapter 425 Brother Chen, please don’t hide anything from me.
Gu Group President's Office
Gu Tingchen was wearing a smoky grey custom-made suit. He was standing in front of the French window, leaning against it, his extremely long legs crossed, stretching his tall and slender body to be more than 1.9 meters tall, with a slender waist, broad shoulders, and more than two meters long legs. His tall and straight legs were wrapped in grey trousers, which were immersed in a precious black and gold leather belt.
He exuded an icy aura, cold and abstinent. Gu Tingchen's dark eyes were indifferent. He looked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. The smoky grey suit jacket made him look like a supermodel, and it stretched his slim waist to be as slender as a tree. At this moment, his cell phone rang. His cold and handsome eyebrows moved, and he lowered his eyes to glance at his trouser pocket.
Gu Tingchen quickly took out his cell phone. He glanced at the screen with his dark eyes, and swiped the screen with his fingers to answer the call. He spoke softly with his extremely thin lips: Dad, Mom, long time no see, what's wrong? Gu Tingchen's cold and handsome face was expressionless. He pursed his thin lips with a cold look.
The people who called Gu Tingchen were Gu's father and mother, Gu Shangqing and Cheng Xinmei. When Gu's father and mother heard their son's cold voice, they frowned tightly. Gu's father softened his voice and said: Achen, you are all alone in Ancheng, everything is fine, and the company is also fine.
Gu Tingchen blinked his dark eyes, which were as bottomless as the abyss. His long eyelashes fluttered up and down on his eyelids like feathers. He found it a little funny when he heard his parents asking him if he was okay being alone in Ancheng.
He laughed coldly, "Why? Ask the Gu Group first. Why am I someone that your Gu family can summon and dismiss at will? After you abandon me, you shouldn't ask about the Gu Group anymore, because the Gu Group is mine now, not yours."
Gu Shangqing was slightly startled, his face darkened, and he scolded: "Gu Tingchen, don't think that I gave you the Gu Group because I recognized you. Have you come back to the United States to see me and your mother in these years? Your mother recovered from a serious illness a few days ago and is now recuperating in the villa. I don't believe you don't know anything about it."
Gu Tingchen's handsome face froze for a moment, and his dark eyes slowly widened. Is mom not feeling well? He opened his thin lips slightly and was about to ask a question when the voice of Gu's mother Cheng Xinmei came from the other end of the phone. She said with a hint of weakness: Is that Chenchen? Really? Are you okay? Chenchen.
Gu Tingchen was stunned for a moment, and he softened his voice and said: It's me, Mom, I'm Gu Tingchen. When Gu's mother heard Gu Tingchen's voice, her weak face brightened up, and she smiled gently and said: Okay, I miss you, Chenchen, can you come to the United States to see your mother and your father.
Gu Tingchen suddenly fell silent. He pursed his lips and said nothing. He didn't want to go back to the United States, because once he went back, he didn't know what reason his father would use to trap him in the United States. His sister Nie Ranran and his favorite Song Yuyan were in Ancheng, so it was impossible for him to go back.
When Mother and Father Gu saw the voice on the phone stop abruptly, Gu Tingchen's big hand holding the phone turned pale from slightly tightening. His bony hands tightened, and his extremely thin watercolor lips formed a straight arc. His sharp thick eyebrows were tightly frowned into a "川" shape. After a moment of silence, he moved his thin lips and said coldly: No, I won't go back. If you want, you can come back to Ancheng by yourselves.
Father Gu was furious. His face flushed and he shouted, "Look, I asked you to come back and you're like this, right? Forget about whether you want your parents or not. America is your home. Do you understand?" Father Gu's face was already red with anger, and his scolding voice reached Gu Tingchen's eardrums.
He was calm as he listened to his father's hoarse scolding on the phone. His thin lips moved again, and his voice was as cold as frost, as if it could freeze a person's bones into ice. Gu Tingchen said with a cold face: I said it's impossible, I won't go back to the United States, I have something else to do, I'm hanging up.
After that, Gu Tingchen hung up the phone. He turned around and looked at his assistant Qin Mo behind him with a handsome face as cold as ice. Qin Mo's whole body froze. The president looked so scary, so cold and terribly. His legs were weak and he walked over tremblingly. He bent over and nodded and said: President, President, the executives in the conference room and employees from various departments have been waiting for a long time. Do you think we should go over now?
Gu Tingchen glanced at Qin Mo with his cold dark eyes, and said icy: Let's go to the meeting room. He threw the phone to the desk on the right, and the phone landed on the desk accurately in a parabola. He took a step forward with his long legs, and his face was so cold that it could freeze.
In the conference room, Gu Tingchen had regained his calm and handsome appearance. He placed his suit jacket on the conference table, rolled up his dark blue shirt, and unbuttoned three buttons of his shirt collar. He held a black pen in his hand, his handsome face was as cold as ice, and his dark eyes were as cold and sinister as he scanned everyone in the audience.
The employees and senior management shareholders in the conference room were all silent, watching Gu Tingchen speaking calmly. The whole company knew how cold Mr. Gu was. He was usually serious and kept silent even during meetings.
The meeting lasted until around three in the afternoon. Gu Tingchen walked out of the meeting room with his long legs, feeling a little hungry. At this time, his cell phone rang again. He walked in the corridor of the meeting room, picked up the phone, and looked at the screen. It was a WeChat message. He stopped and opened WeChat. It was a WeChat message from Nie Ranran.
Nie Ranran sent a pitiful emoticon and wrote in a message: Brother Chen, I'm starving. I just came out of the meeting room and my calves are weak from hunger. Don't you know that President Nan doesn't come to the company anymore, and now even Assistant Bai doesn't come. The company is run by Secretary Wei, and Secretary Wei is temporarily taking over.
I am responsible for everything in meetings. I am the director of the executive department. It really is. Gu Tingchen's dark eyes moved, and he raised his hand to type a few words, "Then have a good rest, Ranran." Just these few cold words, and then he sent a WeChat message to Nie Ranran. Compared with Nie Ranran's long paragraph, he only typed a few words.
Nie Ranran soon received a WeChat message from Gu Tingchen. She smiled with joy and opened the WeChat message with her fingers. "Then have a good rest, Ranran." Her sweet smile froze and her eyebrows fell. Why did he only say a few words? There was not even an emoticon package. Nie Ranran's eyes were instantly watery and a little aggrieved. She said so much, but he just said a few cold words...
Nie Ranran's bright crescent eyes suddenly dimmed. She sighed and put her phone on the desk, but still replied to Gu Tingchen on WeChat. She replied, "Okay, got it. Brother Chen, you too, don't overwork yourself." She sent a cute little emoticon, and then sent the WeChat message.
The WeChat message fell on deaf ears. Nie Ranran patted her face to regain her thoughts. Nie Ranran worked hard and stopped thinking about him. You just treat him as a brother, don't you? Yes, I just treat her as a brother, but is that really the case?
Nie Ranran's eyes were dazed, and she murmured softly: Do I really only regard him as a brother? Gu Tingchen... Gu Tingchen received Nie Ranran's WeChat message, he opened it and took a careful look, then put the phone away, holding the phone, striding into the corridor with long legs, his pair of dark eyes were as cold as a cold light, and the cold light in his eyes was fully revealed.
In the evening, Gu Tingchen left the Gu Group and drove a Lamborghini straight back to the Gu family. In the huge Gu family villa, apart from the housekeeper Fu Bo, there were only him and three servants. Nie Ranran moved out of the Gu family villa a few months ago. She said that she still wanted to return to her original apartment to be more comfortable.
Gu Tingchen's handsome face was calm, he had no expression, he just said calmly: "Okay, of course, I respect your decision." However, all the brand-name bags, shoes, clothes, skirts and cosmetics he gave her in the Gu family villa were asked to be taken back to the apartment where she lived.
Butler Fu Bo walked into the study. Gu Tingchen had already changed out of the suit he wore at work and put on dark black home clothes. He sat upright on a chair in the study, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his tall nose. His dark eyes were fixed on the computer screen, and his big, bony hands were moving on the blank key.
Gu's Group has recently received a number of large orders to purchase a series of jewelry products from Gu's Group. He was writing introductions to the various jewelry products when there was a knock on the door. Gu Tingchen looked up and saw the butler Fu Bo standing at the door of the study. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at the butler Fu Bo.
His dark eyes were cold, and he said coldly: What's wrong? Fu Bo, wait a moment. Butler Fu Bo bowed and nodded: Master, you can have dinner. If you wait a little longer, the dinner will get cold, Master. Gu Tingchen stood up, pulled out the desk chair, and walked over slowly with long legs.
Gu Tingchen looked at the food on the table, three dishes and one soup, tomato and egg stewed beef, steamed fish, pork tripe and chicken, carrot and barley pork ribs soup. He held the rice bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, and stretched out the chopsticks to pick up the steamed fish on the plate. He loved eating fish, so there must be fish on the table every night, and they were never the same.
He chewed the rice, his sexy Adam's apple rolling up and down, rolling slowly as he chewed the rice. After dinner, Gu Tingchen scooped some barley and pork ribs soup. He was about to drink the soup when his cell phone rang again. He lowered his eyes to glance at her. Her dark eyes were as deep as a cold pond. He put down the bowl, picked up the phone and answered it.
Nie Ranran's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone. She said sweetly: "Have you had dinner, Brother Chen? I just arrived at the apartment." I bought discounted vegetables today, including tomatoes, shredded potatoes, beef rolls, beef ribs, and pasta, as well as several baskets of soup dumplings, which can be eaten for more than a week.
Gu Tingchen frowned coldly, his dark eyes darkened, and he moved his thin lips and said: "Why is it a discounted dish? Of course, is the pocket money that your brother gave you not enough? Then your brother will give you 100 million tomorrow. Don't eat the discounted dishes. What if they are not fresh?"
Yes, Gu Tingchen had an additional condition. If Nie Ranran moved out of the Gu family villa, he would give her 100 million pocket money every month. Nie Ranran felt burdened, but she did not dare to refuse. She kicked off the high heels on her ankles and stepped barefoot on the crystal marble floor.
Nie Ranran's crescent eyes curved into a sweet smile, her pretty little face slightly blushed, and her ears felt hot. His voice was magnetic, cold, and yet gentle and coaxing, which made Nie Ranran's heart thump and her ears feel hot. Brother Chen's voice made her ears numb, and she felt her heart beating.
She said softly: "Okay, I got it, Brother Chen, I'll listen to you, I'll eat tonight, and I won't eat tomorrow. Have you had dinner yet?" Gu Tingchen held the phone in one hand and the bowl in the other. He raised his head and took a small sip, then drank it all.
His dark eyes flashed a cold light, and he said in a cold voice: Are you drinking soup? Then you should hurry up and make dinner, don't be hungry, Ranran. Nie Ranran smiled brightly on the other end of the phone. She said softly: Prepare to make fried beef with tomatoes, steamed shrimp with vermicelli and garlic, and pork lung slices. Make pork rib soup
When Gu Tingchen heard Nie Ranran talking about the pig lung slices, his cold and handsome brows were tightly furrowed. He said coldly: How can pig lung slices be nutritious? Change it, chicken slices or duck blood sausage will do, this won't do, Ranran.
Nie Ranran's red lips were slightly pouted, and her eyebrows were drooping. Gu Tingchen liked to control her very much. He would ask her what kind of food and dishes she wanted to eat, and would not allow her to eat something that was not nutritious a second time. Nie Ranran's heart was filled. She moved her red lips angrily and responded: Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Chen, I won't eat anymore.
Gu Tingchen's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he whispered: Well, brother is doing this for your own good. Don't eat it if it's not nutritious, it's not good for your health. With your 100 million pocket money, you can buy top-quality imported meat. There's no need to always buy discounted vegetables, understand?
Nie Ranran responded softly: "I see, Brother Chen, I'll go make dinner, it's almost eight o'clock." Gu Tingchen said "hmm" lightly, then he ended the call, put the phone on the dining table, picked up the bowl, and slowly drank the soup in the bowl.
After taking a shower, Gu Tingchen lay on the bed, his extremely long legs crossed on the bed. He half leaned on the headboard, his brows closed with deep coldness, and slowly sat down and lay flat on the bed. He turned his head and reached out to turn off the table lamp on the bedside table.
