1692 inspecting the gu family, so enthusiastic that people canât bear it (1)
duan yiyan was in charge of the entire collaboration between the duan corporation and the gu family. although it was a big project, duan linbai did not have to do it himself.
âsuch a big case, and youâre leaving it to yi yan to handle alone? you donât have to worry.â fu chen was sitting in front of the small desk, copying a buddhist scripture with his head lowered.
âheâs just a child, and i canât be with him forever. i have to let him go and let him fly on his own.â
duan linbai lowered his head and ate the pastry in front of him with a proud expression. recently, he had been surrounded by praises for duan yiyan, and as a father, he felt honored.
â besides, heâs doing this on his own. itâs good for him to have a stable position on the board of directors. if he wants to take over the company, heâll have to show some decent results. otherwise, some old guys will start to get angry again. â
âwho can beat you in a stomp?â
fu chen clearly remembered how duan linbai had been when he had first taken over the company.
he was not a business student. he studied classical music and then ran off to do entertainment media. suddenly taking over the company, the hearts of the people were wavering. during the first board and shareholders meeting, he had dissed many people.
later on, everyone found out that young master duanâs temper could flip the heavens.
âbut fu san, you donât say, this gu yuan is also our familyâs lucky star.â
âbecause of his arrival, the a.i. activity was successfully held, and he saved nono. now, he even brought us such a big order ...â
fu chen sneered. â how are you going to thank her? â
â i havenât thought about it yet. the main thing is that he doesnât lack anything ... this time, yiyan isnât going there for a business trip, and heâll also observe the gu familyâs situation at the same time. iâve asked him to pay more attention to the gu familyâs preferences, and in the future, weâll just give them something that they like. â
fu chenâs brush paused. after copying the last buddhist scripture, he moved the ruler away and placed the rice paper aside to let the ink dry.
ârichard, do you have any good suggestions? youâve always been full of ideas.â duan linbai looked at him seriously.
fu chen lowered his head and fiddled with the rice paper. he didnât say anything, but he was actually thinking ...
to his liking? the person he wanted was probably your daughter.
**
at this moment, duan yiyan had just arrived in the northwest. he was fully in charge of the case. he told duan linbai that he wanted to try to take charge of things on his own. the deeper reason was that it was not the best time for his father to get in touch with the gu family.
given the gu familyâs temperament, the matter between gu yuan and duan yinuo would be exposed in less than two minutes.
in fact, he also wanted to make use of the opportunity to inspect the collaboration to make a trip to the gu family. other than the project, the most important thing was to take a look at the gu familyâs overall character.
although dating and marriage were two peopleâs business, it also involved two families. if the in-laws or brothers and sisters-in-law were not easy to get along with, life would probably not be too comfortable.
gu yuan also came with him.
â actually, i know what youâre thinking. your wound hasnât even healed yet, so thereâs really no need for you to accompany me. â duan yiyan looked at the person beside him.
it would have been fine if duan yiyan was just an ordinary business partner, but he was duan yinuoâs brother. no matter how indifferent gu yuan was, he was worried that he would leave a bad impression on him during this inspection.
â itâs fine. i havenât been home for a while. i canât work in beijing during this time, so iâm going home to take a look. â
in the end, he was afraid that his family would mess around.
there was no direct flight to the city where the gu family was located, so they had to take a car for the second half of the journey. there were many mountain roads in the northwest, and the deeper they went, the colder the mountain wind became. it was simply drilling into their bones.
âweâll be there soon.â gu yuan tilted his head and looked at the mountains in the distance. it was dark and stretched for hundreds of miles, like a fierce beast lurking in the mountains, dangerous and cold.
duan yiyan tidied his clothes. he did not drive to the gu familyâs company but went straight to the gu familyâs house.
according to the eldest son of the gu family, they should have dinner at home first and discuss business in the afternoon. duan yiyan did not refuse because his main purpose was to see what kind of temper the gu family had.
the car stopped and he pushed the door open to get out.
â uncle ... uncle, qianqian! â duan yiyan heard a childish voice as soon as he got out of the car.
following the sound, they saw a young child. it was cold in the north, and it was said that there was snow a few days ago. the child was dressed in many clothes, and his chubby body was wrapped up like a bear.
duan yiyan could guarantee that he was the most beautiful child he had ever seen in his bright yellow clothes.
he was running a little too fast ...
he knew how to run, but he was not very nimble and his running movements were a little clumsy.
when duan yiyan raised his hand to close the door, he turned around and saw that he had twisted his ankle and fallen into a pit in front of him.
because it had snowed a while ago, the ground was a little muddy, so this fall was really ...
duan yiyan was at a loss for words.
gu yuan had already stepped forward and lifted him up by his collar. â are you okay? â
duan yiyan had thought that the child would cry for a long time, but he did not expect the child to be so happy at gu yuan even after his face was covered in mud.
duan yiyan furrowed his brows slightly. he had thought that the meeting with the gu family would be an especially formal one. however, reality told him that this unusual way of meeting seemed to be telling him ...
everything might be different from what he had expected.
the reality that followed told him that it was completely different.
he had originally thought that only the boss of the gu family might be ... more lively.
however, when duan yiyan saw gu yuanâs father, he felt an inexplicable sense of courage. he had jumped out of a wolfâs den and into a tigerâs pit. this character was comparable to his fatherâs.
she had just left the capital and thought that she had finally gotten rid of the fear of being dominated by her father, but she did not expect ...
the gu family was even more impressive. no wonder gu yuan wanted to come along.
the northerners were always warm, especially the gu family. while duan yiyan was surrounded by the gu familyâs enthusiasm, gu yuan took his nephew for a walk outside.
since duan yiyanâs purpose in coming here was to observe them, she would just let him have an in-depth exchange with his family.
duan yiyan did not dare to imagine what would happen if this family went against his father in the future. putting aside the relationship between gu yuan and duan yinuo, gu yuanâs father decided to be friends with his father.
later that night, duan yinuo specially called duan yiyan, which also allowed him to temporarily break away from the gu familyâs enthusiasm.
âbrother, youâve arrived at the gu residence?â
âyes.â duan yiyan reached out and tugged at his tie. he had specially worn a suit today, but it seemed unnecessary.
âhow are their family members? what do you think?â
âitâs a good match for you.â
âwhat?â duan yinuo did not quite understand what he was saying.
âanyway, if you marry gu yuan, there wonât be any conflicts between in-laws.â gu yuan was not a fool. the house was already so lively, yet he still wanted to marry a little firecracker.
after all, duan yinuo was a girl. when she talked about her married in-laws, she felt a little embarrassed.
duan yiyan caught a glimpse of the eldest son of the gu family carrying a box of wine out of nowhere. his scalp tingled, and he was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm.
