Chapter 219: Two become one, nineteen, the old man's surprise!

Ji's, the industry's benchmark banner, plus the good treatment, so many people are scrambling to work for Ji's and want to make a living here.

But Gu Chen is not like those people; his goal is more than just making a living.

Gu Chen shook his head with a smile.

'In fact, I prefer work that is a little challenging to work that is just routine.'

Gu Chen's words were more tactful, but after all, he was Ji Piran's father, and he didn't want to seem too obvious in his refusal.

Ji Guangsheng's eyebrows twitched.

Good boy, it seems that he doesn't like the position I offered.

Quite ambitious.

He opened his mouth, 'Why don't we go to the company and take a look?'

In the Ji family company, a department manager also manages a hundred or so people.

He had originally let him start as a department manager with the mentality of training and giving him a try. After all, the Ji family was not an ordinary small business, and without something real, it would not work.

He had to gain experience and have the real thing to keep people in line.

Unexpectedly, after offering such conditions, the boy had refused without even thinking about it. This was really a bit unexpected.

Ji Guangsheng was not angry, but instead, he could not help but appreciate Gu Chen more.

He's ambitious, has a clear mind and ideas.

He's worthy to be my son-in-law, just like me!

To be honest, although Ji Guangsheng is arrogant, he still prefers people who dare to express their own ideas.

However, due to his position, very few people dare to give him advice.

Young man, how can you not be ambitious?

After just a few words, Ji Guangsheng's opinion of Gu Chen has completely changed, and he has even begun to admire him.

Don't look at this kid with a smile on his face all the time, he actually has very good ideas in his heart.

The worst thing about being a person is having no ideas. Others can be swayed by a few words or a little benefit.

Such people often fail to make a difference.

Only those with good ideas, with determination, and who stick to one path, are likely to succeed.

Gu Chen smiled and said, 'Thank you for giving me the opportunity, but I also know my own limitations, I really can't do this job.'

These words were just perfect.

It was obvious that he didn't fancy the job and didn't want to take it, but he put it in a humble way, giving the other person enough face.

Of course, he gave him face because he was Ji Guangsheng.

When he heard Gu Chen say this, Uncle Guang couldn't sit still either. 'I said you little brat, this is such a good job, how can you still refuse it!'

Although he is only a department manager now, with Gu Chen's brain, it will definitely take him a few months to reach the next level.

By then, he will be the deputy manager, and he can choose whatever he wants.

To put it more bluntly, if Mr. Ji passes away one day, the general manager will have to be Gu Chen.

He really can't understand what Gu Chen is thinking.

How can he not be happy when he has been given such a good thing that many people would not dare to think about, let alone hope for?

After all, there is only one Ji Pianran in the world, and by marrying her, he will indirectly take half of the Ji Group.

Gu Chen didn't say anything, just smiling.

He stood opposite Ji Guangsheng, casually.

Behind him was the window, and at the moment there was a faint ray of sunlight shining in, making the whole person look energetic and alert.

The gaze in his eyes was as clean as a teenager's, but there was a certain sophistication in those eyes no matter how you looked at them.

These two extreme feelings appeared at the same time from the same pair of eyes.

It was really strange.

Even Ji Guangsheng, who has been in the business world for so many years, has never seen this before.

This is the first time he has not completely seen through a person's heart.

It is also the first time he has made a mistake in judging people.

He found it very interesting, and his impression of Gu Chen was even more profound.

An intuition arose in his heart.

This kid may have a great future.

Gu Chen really didn't have any thoughts about joining the Ji family, and he decided to change the subject at that moment.

He looked at Uncle Guang with a smile on his face and said, 'By the way, Uncle Guang, where are the things I brought up just now?'

Because Ji Bianran and Wu Shuhui had been chatting the whole time, it was Uncle Guang who helped Gu Chen carry the things when they went upstairs.

After they arrived, Ji Bianran and his father started chatting, and the atmosphere was tense, so he had forgotten about it himself.

This was a good time to use it to change the subject, so it was a good choice.

Hearing this, Uncle Guang hurriedly brought the things over. 'Sir, these are the things Gu Chen brought. Look at me, I was so caught up in the conversation that I forgot all about it.'

After saying this, he handed the things back to Gu Chen. Ji Chu looked at the nylon bags and found it amusing.

The last time he bought matsutake mushrooms, he also used these same shabby bags.

And now he's brought them again.

This person really doesn't care about appearances at all.

Hearing this, Ji Guangsheng glanced over at the nylon bag in Gu Chen's hand.

To be honest, just looking at the bag made him lose interest in what was inside.

Ji Guangsheng, on the other hand, looked very carefully, as if he was eager to see what Gu Chen was going to take out next.

Gu Chen took out a ginseng root from the bag without any haste, and then took out the cherries and wolfberries.

Then he looked at Guang Shu's face and said, 'Uncle Guang, would you mind washing them for Mr. Ji to try?'

Afterwards, he smiled at Ji Guangsheng, 'It came so suddenly, I didn't prepare anything. I bought all these myself, don't laugh at me.'

Upon hearing this, Ji Guangsheng paused, looked at Gu Chen's face, and for a while, felt a little amused.

It wasn't because he only gave some fruit, but because Gu Chen called himself Mr. Ji.

'What, only calling me mom and not dad? Could it be because I didn't give you a mouthful fee?'

Although Gu Chen did not work for the Ji family as he had hoped, to be honest, the young man did seem quite nice.

Plus, Bai Guang was very positive about him.

Naturally, Ji Guangsheng had to recognise Gu Chen.

They were married, so it would not be appropriate to call him Mr Ji.

Gu Chen was taken aback. To be honest, he had not expected Ji Guangsheng to agree so quickly.

After all, the Ji Guangsheng they had been talking about was indeed the type of person who carried himself with arrogance and seemed to look down on everyone.

He thought he would make things difficult for him in some way.

Gu Chen couldn't help but smile a little. He took the ginseng out of his bag and then shouted at Ji Guangsheng, 'Dad.'

After that, he handed the ginseng over, 'Dad, this dish is for you. You're not in good health, so this ginseng should be more or less helpful for your body.'

Ji Guangsheng never expected Gu Chen to have brought him ginseng.

He subconsciously looked at the ginseng in his hand. It looked plump and had an excellent shape. Judging from the colour of the skin and the size, it must be at least a few hundred years old.

Ji Guangsheng was shocked.

'Where did you get this from?'

You have to know that centenary ginseng is almost extinct on the market, and most of it is only a few decades old, with 70 or 80 years being quite something.

But from the appearance of the ginseng in Gu Chen's hands, it is at least 600 years old.

It is no exaggeration to say that even Ji Guangsheng has only seen this type of ginseng once, and it is still the kind that has been stored for several years, dried ginseng.

But this one looks extremely fresh.

Such a thing is really rare, so rare!

He can't wait to find out the origin of this ginseng now.
