Chapter 362: Dropping off the kids at school

"For any company, if there is an important link.

and it must rely too heavily on a single talent to function, this is absolutely unacceptable.'

As the saying goes, business is business. Although the Ji family is willing to spend a lot of money on research and development of new drugs.

and get rid of this "partner" of his, Gu Chen can still understand his father-in-law's intentions for doing so.

Besides, seeing his wife in such a dilemma, if he really stood by and did nothing,

Gu Chen himself could not do it either.

After all, as for how much money he could make in the future, he still felt that family harmony was most important among his wife and parents-in-law.

As for the rest, it could be said to be nothing.

Since he had already made up his mind, Gu Chen did not dawdle.

The three of them simply packed up a bit and walked out of the house together.

Ji Pianran gave Gu Chen and her daughter a hug in the courtyard, then quickly left in her car.

She was still working in the Ji family's grassroots department, and her father-in-law and housekeeper had done a good job of keeping her identity a secret.

Apart from a small group of senior executives, no one knew that this gentle-looking woman who smiled every day was actually the daughter of the family.

No one in the department offended her, and this exceptionally nice and beautiful woman was actually the daughter of the family.

According to Ji Pianran, although she has not worked for a few days yet,

several people in the department have already told her everything they know.

Some are even preparing to pull her in on secretly taking kickbacks and how to falsely report the department's field allowance.

Gu Chen couldn't help but suppress a laugh after hearing these things.

Pulling the boss's daughter and discussing together how to embezzle her company's money.

What were these people thinking?

But this incident shows that the Ji family is not united.

In particular, although Ji Changming's faction was dismissed by his father-in-law for the false wolfberry incident,

there is no guarantee that there are not people within the family waiting for an opportunity to plot something behind the scenes.

However, it is clear that Ji Pianran has no intention of getting involved in these matters for the time being.

So these rats in the company can still jump around for a while.

In the future, after Ji Pianran has finished hanging around at the grassroots level and is due to ascend to power, he will inevitably have to promote a group of people he can trust.

When that time comes, I'm afraid these guys are all going to have bad luck.

Gu Chen was much too lazy to bother with the internal power struggles within the Ji family and the group.

Moreover, since her father-in-law was determined to let Ji Pianran take over his position, naturally he would help her plan and arrange everything.

After all, Gu Chen is a son-in-law, and if he meddles too much in this area, it is inevitable that misunderstandings will arise, which will not be good.

After watching his wife drive away, Gu Chen also jumped into the car with Tang Tang, ready to report to kindergarten.

Although the two Mercedes-Benzes in the family are both good, they have so far been borrowed from his father-in-law's family.

Gu Chen pondered on the road, and since he has not lacked money recently, he wondered if he should buy another one on his own.

In those days, there were not as many imported car brands as there are nowadays, and the price would be even higher if you factor in the tariffs.

The Mercedes-Benz business that Gu Chen is driving now would probably not be noticed if it were thrown onto the road before his rebirth.

But in this day and age, it is really a bit too flashy.

To put it more specifically, in the eyes of people in this era.

Gu Chen nowadays is equivalent to driving a Rolls-Royce to show off when going out to buy groceries.

Even the owner of a small or medium-sized company going out to do business doesn't have the same level of ostentation.

As a full-time dad, Gu Chen feels that there is no need for this at all.

And the main thing about driving a car is to make it easier to travel, as long as you have a car that is adequate for getting around.

Then he exited the community in the envious eyes of the passers-by and soon arrived at the gate of the Little Sun Kindergarten.

Although Gu Chen got up relatively early, it was already relatively late when he arrived.

A long queue of children had already formed in front of the kindergarten, waiting to go to school.

They were greeting their parents and teachers, and carrying their small school bags, they entered the kindergarten in twos and threes, forming a queue.

When Gu Chen pulled his daughter out of the car, he immediately attracted the curious stares of everyone present.

There was nothing he could do about it. His car was just too eye-catching in the early morning, and it was impossible to ignore it.

Although this was the best kindergarten in Sichuan, there were really not many wealthy families like the Ji family.

The vast majority of the parents here are actually middle-class people with modest means.

The other small group are company owners who have made a lot of money through business and send their children to school.

And at this moment, when he looked around, Gu Chen suddenly noticed that all the parents who had come to the kindergarten gate to drop off their children were women.

Apart from him, there wasn't a single father, and if you didn't know any better, you'd think you'd arrived in a country of daughters.

Together with a group of young mothers dressed up in their best clothes, they all cast curious glances at Gu Chen.

Within the next three minutes, several women were already whispering to each other.

Even after entering, he could faintly hear them gossiping about whether he had divorced his wife.

Some said that it was really not easy for a man to take care of a child alone at such a young age.

Although he knew that the other person didn't actually mean any harm, it still made him feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Gu Chen now seemed to understand a little why his wife had been so worried before.

A man with a smile on his face was standing at the entrance to the kindergarten, waiting for all the children to go in.

When Gu Chen walked in, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment, and the other person's face also revealed a trace of surprise.

'My goodness, are you... Li Chunlei?'

'Holy shit, Gu Chen?'

The expressions on both of their faces were full of surprise, and the next second they couldn't help but burst out laughing and embrace each other.

'My goodness, it's been ages.

I never thought I'd run into you in Sichuan City. I thought you were dead.'

Li Chunlei was also very excited at this moment. Ever since he left Haicheng with his parents in high school,

he had not seen his high school best friend for many years.

Back then, he, Gu Chen, and Wang Dachun were known as the 'Iron Triangle'.

Now that he had reunited with his old friends, he was happier than anyone.

'After all these years, you're still as rude as ever,'

Li Chunlei laughed and shook his head, before his gaze fell on the little girl standing next to him.

'Gu Chen, is this your daughter?' He looked a little surprised. 'Is she that cute?'

Hearing him say that, Gu Chen beamed and held her daughter in his arms, saying to her

'Tangtang, quickly call Uncle Chunlei. He is your father's good friend.'
