Chapter 287: Ji Pianran cried

Manager Wang thought for a long time and nodded heavily.

'Okay, I'll try!'

Gu Chen looked at him with a smile and reached out to pat his shoulder after a long while.

'I'll take that shirt of yours. How much?'

Since the guy is willing to follow him, he should give him some hope, right?

If it works out, everyone will be happy; if not, at least he has sold the clothes he had in his hands.

He can set up a stall and sell them, and he won't lose any money.

After all, there is a regional difference.

Manager Wang stared at Gu Chen in disbelief.

He had just thought that Gu Chen was simply inviting him to cooperate, and that if they wanted to cooperate, he might have to bring the clothes over and split the money with Gu Chen after they were sold.

But he never imagined that he would be so righteous as to take all of his clothes!

In this way, his own costs have been greatly reduced.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who is clean and unassuming,

Manager Wang's eyes welled up with tears, and he suddenly felt a little moved.

He has been following Li Haitao for seven or eight years, and considers himself to be quite loyal.

He works diligently, leaving home early and returning late every day, and has never been late for a single day.

But he has never done anything to show his appreciation for him, and has never shown the slightest bit of affection for him.

But Gu Chen has only known him for a day, and after a few phone calls, he has already given him so much trust.

He is really a good person.

And the fact that he can afford to buy a building in the Flower City is proof of his strength.

To have such a boss is worth more than the North, the South and the East!

Even if he had to go to the ends of the earth, he would follow Gu Chen!

'President Gu, these clothes are my stake. If you think it's okay, I'll resign now.'

'I'll handle the rest of the purchasing. After all these years here, I know which factories make good quality clothes at low prices. Many factory owners are friends with me, and I can even arrange for goods to be delivered first and the payment to be settled later.

Manager Wang stood straight at this moment, his face full of energy.

He felt that if he moved, he might be able to change his fate!

Gu Chen patted him on the shoulder, full of chivalry.

'Good! I'm relieved to hear that. If we really make money, I'll share with you, and you'll never lose out. We'll make money together!'

After leaving the clothing mall, the two went out to eat together, with Gu Chen, the boss, naturally picking up the bill.

After dinner, Manager Wang went back to work, excited, and wrote his resignation report.

Gu Chen, meanwhile, got into a taxi and went to the police station.

Now that I have located the pyramid scheme, all they have to do is follow me and arrest the people involved.

It was already 2 pm, and the police officers at the police station had already started work.

They were all stunned.

This young man from outside the city had managed to locate the pyramid scheme in just two days.

This was truly amazing.

Someone even joked, 'Why don't you come work for us and specialise in destroying pyramid schemes? You'll definitely be the most outstanding person this year!'

Gu Chen shook her head and laughed, speaking the truth.

'Because I want to save my brother.'

If the families of these people had also been deceived, they would have found it in two days as well.

But it's not all their fault. After all, these people have procedures in place, and they are actually quite busy in a city as big as Huacheng, where countless people are deceived every day.

At 6:00 p.m., Gu Chen received a text message from General Manager Huang.

It read: Fuxi Road, Business Room 407, Time Tea Bar.

Gu Chen gave the address to the police officer who had responded to the call. 'It's here, just look.'

On hearing this, the policeman shouted towards the large office.

'Wang Xiaoliu, Liu Xiaowu, Wu Xiao and Zhang Zhibing, pack your things and follow me!'

After saying this, he looked at Gu Chen, 'Xin, to ensure success, we can't go with you in the same car, so you take a taxi yourself. We'll keep in touch.'

Gu Chen nodded seriously, 'Okay!'

From the moment he entered Huacheng, he had been waiting to catch the head of the pyramid scheme and find his big brother.

Now he was finally going to set off.

He couldn't help being excited.

Sitting in the taxi, Gu Chen called Ji Pianran.

Ji Pianran was currently playing with Tang Tang in the playground of the shopping mall from yesterday. She watched Tang Tang play while she was inside.

She heard her phone ring and took it out of her pocket.

When she saw that it was Gu Chen calling, a layer of faint happiness immediately appeared on her face, and a gentle expression also appeared in her unfathomable eyes.

'Hey, are you coming back?' she asked softly.

'I won't be able to join you for dinner tonight. If all goes well, I should be able to find my brother tonight,' Gu Chen said.

Even her tone of voice had an imperceptible layer of seriousness.

Ji Pianran couldn't help but feel nervous. She glanced at Tang Tang, who was still sliding down the slide inside, and walked to a less crowded place before speaking.

'Be careful.'

Gu Chen looked out the window at the green trees speeding past, and nodded lightly, 'Mm.'

Ji Pianran looked serious, her watery eyes full of nervousness. She gritted her teeth and said, 'Come back safely.'

Although she didn't know what he was going to face, she was just very worried.

The day before, Gu Chen contacted the pyramid scheme organisation.

Those people are not to be messed with. In the afternoon, she spoke to her father on the phone. Her father said that many of those people are outlaws who would do anything for money.

They have no bottom line and would do anything.

Dad also said that a pyramid scheme den had been destroyed in Sichuan City two days ago, and an 18-year-old boy had been beaten to death.

All four limbs had suffered crushing fractures, and his ribs had also been broken. It sounded particularly tragic.

Ji Pianran was genuinely afraid. She was afraid that her eldest brother had met with an accident, and even more afraid that Gu Chen would not return.

He was her whole world.

He was the hope of this family.

She dared not think any further, clenching her fists so hard that her fingernails dug into her palms, leaving deep marks.

Her lips were also bitten to a deep red, almost bleeding.

'Remember to eat on time, your stomach is not good, and Tiantian is still young, so you can't let her go hungry. Don't let her eat too much meat, or she'll get indigestion,' Gu Chen was still giving her advice.

Suddenly, she heard faint sobs coming from the phone.

Somewhere in her heart, a vague pain began to form without warning.

'Don't cry, it's fine, I'm safe, don't worry,' Gu Chen comforted in a gentle voice.

Ji Pianran wiped away the tears that were about to well up in her eyes, tilted her head up, and tried hard not to let any more tears fall.

She couldn't let him go on this adventure alone.

She couldn't bear to let him go off on his own, nor could she bear to do so.

This is what it means to deeply love someone: whenever anything happens to that person, the other person will toss and turn, unable to bear the pain, wishing with all their heart that it was happening to themselves, wishing they could help them overcome all their difficulties.

It was just like Ji Pianran now: she felt like the sky was about to collapse, even though she truly trusted Gu Chen.

But she didn't dare to take the risk; she was too afraid of losing him.

She wanted to be by his side, for only companionship could give her peace of mind.

Ji Pianran choked and said, 'Shall we go together?'
