Gu Chen sat down in front of the stool, picked up his pawn, and took a step forward.
Ji Guangsheng also took a step, and then looked at Gu Chen with sincere eyes.
'I've really troubled you during this time,'
He could see how good Gu Chen had been to her. Without Gu Chen, she would probably still be in bed.
Not to mention playing chess.
She was truly grateful to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen smiled, 'Dad, what are you talking about? We're all family, there's no trouble.'
Ji Guangsheng looked at the chessboard and then at Gu Chen, 'I think I'll go back to Sichuan Province in a couple of days to take care of some things. Before I go back, we should have dinner together as a family.'
The Ji family had too many businesses, and it really couldn't do without him.
It had been more than a month since he arrived here.
Everything had been settled, and he still needed to go back and take a look. There was also Gu Chen's wolfberry business, which he could arrange for himself.
Ji Pianran was originally rescued by Shen Cuizhi.
As her father, Ji Guangsheng is truly grateful to Shen Cuizhi.
He is grateful to her for giving his daughter a second life.
So no matter what, this meal is definitely something that must be eaten.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen nodded.
'Dad, to be honest, I have also been thinking about the two families having a meal together, but just a while ago, you have not been feeling well, so this has been put on hold.'
After all, he and Ji Pianran were husband and wife, and it didn't feel right that the two families had never met.
Ji Guangsheng smiled.
'Good, then we're settled. In a few days, our two families will have a meal. After all, we are relatives, and in the future, we must still look out for each other.'
After saying that, it seemed like he remembered something, and he added, 'By the way, how is the land you contracted?'
Gu Chen answered truthfully, 'Growing food, corn and wheat.'
To be honest, this was not his original intention, but he had no choice.
Upon hearing this, Ji Guangsheng nodded, 'Not bad.'
The two of them played chess and chatted while doing so.
At this moment, Wu Shuhui and Ji Chu returned with Tangtang.
Seeing that they were having shabu shabu for dinner, Ji Chu salivated with excitement and walked to the table in two steps, his face full of emotion.
'Wow, is there really such a good thing to eat today?'
After all, he was still young and was always full of enthusiasm for food.
Seeing his greedy face, Uncle Guang couldn't help but smile, 'It'll be ready soon, don't worry.'
After saying that, he looked over at Ji Guangsheng and Gu Chen, "Sir, dinner is ready.'
Ji Guangsheng was still looking at how to move his piece in the game when he saw Gu Chen take his king in one move.
He actually won!
A flash of surprise passed through Ji Guangsheng's eyes, and he followed with a smile, "Good game.'
Gu Chen also smiled, 'Dad, it's time to eat!'
The family sat down at the table.
With the company of her grandparents and younger brother-in-law, Tangtang's life had been nothing but comfortable these past few days.
Now, she was drinking a bottle of Wahaha that she had somehow found, seriously.
Ji Pianran subconsciously glanced over at Ji Chu, 'Did you buy it?'
Ji Chu shrugged, looking innocent.
'It's true that I bought it, but Tangtang is the one drinking it,'
What she meant was, if you want to blame someone, blame her for not having self-control, but don't blame me for buying it.
Gu Chen looked at the group and laughed.
'Let's eat.'
The group picked up their chopsticks, but before they could eat more than a few bites, they saw Ji Chu raise his glass. 'I propose that, in the hopes that Dad's health gets better and better every day, let's toast.'
As soon as he said this, everyone raised their glasses.
There was laughter and conversation, and the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
No alcohol was drunk today, water was used instead.
The point was to celebrate.
Gu Chen had just taken a sip of water when his phone rang in his pocket.
He picked up the phone, and it displayed an unfamiliar landline number.
He picked it up and politely said, 'Hello?'
An anxious voice came from the phone: Shen Cuizhi.
'Chenzi, something's happened to your brother!'
Some time ago, for reasons unknown, Gu Zhigang had been hell-bent on starting a shoe polish business.
Not only did he invest his own money, he also persuaded several colleagues from the furniture factory to invest as well, and even got a few people in the village who were on good terms with him to invest.
He said the head office was in Huacheng.
He also sent him quite a lot of shoe polish, five yuan a box.
To be honest, it's really expensive!
These days, a can of shoe polish in the supermarket is only one yuan, and it lasts a year. If you go to the market, you can get it for fifty cents.
But this one from Gu Zhigang is five yuan a box.
His family said they couldn't sell it, but Gu Zhigang just wouldn't listen.
It was like he was possessed.
He even quit his job at the furniture factory to sell shoe polish, holding meetings in the courtyard every day with a few people, saying that we're not selling shoe polish, we're selling dreams!
Shen Cuizhi really got angry every time she saw it, and the two of them had many arguments about it.
Later, Gu Zhigang said he had to go to the head office for training.
Shen Cuizhi is uneducated, but she doesn't support her son's shoe polish business at all!
She doesn't want him to go at all!
But even if his mother doesn't want to, she can't resist her daughter-in-law Liu Lizhen's support.
Gu Zhigang said that if he sells well, he can get a promotion. Not only that, but for every person he brings in, he gets a dollar for every shoe polish he sells.
Since Gu Chen returned home last time, Liu Lizhen has felt that Gu Zhigang is hopeless no matter how she looks at him. She also wants Gu Zhigang to be as rich as Gu Chen, and spend money as he pleases!
Coupled with the rosy picture painted by Gu Zhigang, Liu Lizhen is naturally very tempted.
When her mother-in-law refused to let her go, she planned to let her husband leave at night.
She even personally saw the person off at the train station.
What Wanwan didn't expect was that after he left, Gu Zhigang never came back.
Now even the phone is out of order. It's been a week, and no one has seen him or heard from him. It's really driving people crazy.
Especially those who were fooled by Gu Zhigang into buying shares.
Gu Zhigang's absence has made everyone panic. They all feel that Gu Zhigang has deliberately taken their money and run away.
Every day they came to the Gu family demanding a refund of their shares and for Liu Lizhen and Shen Cuizhi to give them their money back.
Gu Hang was so angry about this that he fell ill.
This really worried Shen Cuizhi.
She didn't know what to do, so she rode her bicycle to Gu Chen's house.
She thought that Gu Chen sold vegetables in the city and knew a lot of people there, so she asked him to find out what kind of company this Shining Shoe Polish was and at least try to get the people back.
But when she arrived at Gu Chen's house, she found that there was no one at home.
She couldn't wait any longer, so she ran to the village committee and used the village committee's phone to call Gu Chen.
Even the phone number was given to her by Lei Guanghui.
Gu Chen was shocked when he heard what his mother said, and immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand.
His expression became serious.
'Mom, take your time,'
