Chapter 3- The Gu family and the investment company.

Earth – Junhi country – Star city.

After getting out of the bedroom, Arthur went to the dining room. The mansion was quite big, so it took him a few minutes to reach there.

On the way to the dining room, Arthur also saw many servants. Each servant greeted him when he went past them. Looking at one of the servants, Arthur thought, "This mansion seems to have many servants. If I remember correctly, her name should be Lillian. She seems to have been working at this mansion for a long time. Let's try the appraisal skill on her."

However, he didn't know how to use the skill. So, he asked the only one who did — his most trusted and helpful AI, Seven.

Seven, as always, replied in his monotone voice,

[You just have to look at the person you want to use the appraisal skill on and think of doing it. It's that simple.]

"Why do I get the feeling that you are calling me stupid?" Arthur thought, hearing the last sentence. But Seven didn't reply, which probably suggested that he was right.

But Arthur didn't think about it anymore. He looked at the person who he wanted to appraise and thought of using the skill, and true to Seven's words, a blue screen appeared in front of him.

The screen seemed almost exactly like Arthur's own status screen. Just the stats, talents, and skills were different. There was also something written at the end of the screen.

Seeing the end, Arthur thought, "Seven, will everyone have something written on their status screen at the end?"

[Yes. Everyone you scan will have something written about them at the end of the status screen. But it also depends on your prowess. Her stats are way below yours, so you can see quite a lot. But someone stronger than you will have their personal information hidden.]

"That's good. I now have a good advantage." Arthur thought, delighted to have such an unfair and massive advantage. He was already thinking about all the things he could do with this.

While thinking about all this, Arthur arrived at the dining room. The dining room was very beautiful and was decorated with multiple expensive things. At the centre of the room was a big dining table. Two people could be seen sitting at the dining table — a man and a woman. They were the parents of Gu Zhongchen, the current master and mistress of the Gu family.

{Author's note: Guys, from now on, the main character will be addressed as Gu Zhongchen until the completion of this mission.}

Upon seeing their son enter the room, the face of the Gu couple brightened. "Chen'er, come sit here," said Shui Qingxia, the mistress of the Gu family and Gu Zhongchen's mother, pointing to the chair beside her.

"Good morning, Dad and Mom ," Gu Zhongchen greeted his parents, sitting in the chair his mother was pointing at.

"Good morning," his parents greeted back.

As Gu Zhongchen was eating, his father, Gu Changsheng, asked, "So Chen'er, what are you doing today?"

"I will visit the company after breakfast," Gu Zhongchen replied, having decided that he will need to take care of his investment company first.

"Good, if you need any help, just tell me," his father said, hearing his response. His father had always been supportive and interested in his business.

"Don't forget, you have a date with Xu Xialing at 3:00 p.m.," his mother reminded him, even though she knew that her son would never forget. His mother seemed particularly invested in his relationships.

"Yes, Mom," Gu Zhongchen replied. But he wasn't sure if he would go to the date.

The family continued to talk among themselves while they were eating. After some time, Gu Zhongchen finished his breakfast and got up. "I am done, so I will go now. See you at dinner," he said, walking towards the door.

After getting out of the dining room, Gu Zhongchen called Sebastian and told him to get his car and driver ready. Then he went straight to his bedroom.

In his bedroom, Gu Zhongchen was selecting which dress to wear to go to work. In the end, he decided on a deep blue suit with a light blue shirt and deep blue pants.

"Nothing screams power like a proper suit. Plus, I look way too handsome," Gu Zhongchen thought with a smirk as he was appreciating his look in the mirror.

After getting ready, Gu Zhongchen went to the garage. The garage was massive. There seemed to be sections for each member of the family, and each section was filled with expensive cars. A car was already waiting for him. It was a Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII.

Gu Zhongchen got inside the car. The driver asked him where he wanted to go, and he replied saying that he wanted to go to his company.

The building of his company was about 20 minutes away from the mansion. On the way to his company, Gu Zhongchen was thinking about the things that he wanted to do with the company. He knew the future from the novel, so he was contemplating what to do with the knowledge.

Gu Zhongchen's investment company was a hedge fund, and he was the only investor. The company was run by a few executives who made investments on his behalf. Under those executives were various departments which helped the invested companies.

While he was thinking, he arrived near the company building. The driver parked in front of the building and Gu Zhongchen got out. He entered the building and went straight to the elevator that was reserved for him. On his way, everyone kept giving him surprised looks because he was very rarely in the company. Aside from the surprised looks, everyone was also greeting him with respect.

While Gu Zhongchen was calmly walking towards his office, his assistant quickly came to him and greeted him. The assistant's name was Zhou Long. He had been a trusted employee of his father.

After getting to his office, Gu Zhongchen sat on his seat and said to his assistant, "Call all the executives of the company to a meeting. I don't care where they are — they should be in the meeting room within an hour. If they are overseas, tell them to use video call to attend the meeting." Saying that, he took a paper and started writing names and positions on the paper. Then he said, "Also, bring the people with these names to the meeting."

Receiving the orders, Zhou Long was confused. He asked, "May I know why, sir?"

"You will get to know the reason in the meeting. Now, go," Gu Zhongchen replied, ending the conversation.

Hearing that, Zhou Long didn't say anything else and went to carry out his orders.

Now, alone in the office, Gu Zhongchen seemed deep in thought. What he was thinking, only he knew. But no matter what, this company was going to change very much.
