Chapter 127 : 126: Authority Comes First, Interest Follows

"Why was Chen Yufei arrested and now us!?"

"We've been wrongly accused, officer!"

"..."

A group of people were detained by the police outside the conference room, their cries of innocence unceasing, reminiscent of an ancient courtroom sentencing criminals.

However, thanks to Xu Fei's years of undercover work gathering information from multiple sources, the evidence was irrefutable, rendering their cries futile.

"I lost this time, but I won't be defeated so easily," he said.

With his arms restrained by police officers, Bi Jian passed by Gu Yu, his eyes filled with a fierce light of unwillingness.

In just one morning, he experienced a rollercoaster of emotions from peak to trough, as if a fierce punch had slammed into his crown, leaving him utterly disoriented.

If it weren't for the resentment he harbored against Gu Yu, he feared he might have collapsed on the spot, just like Chen Yufei. Read latest stories on M V L

Hearing Bi Jian's empty threats, Gu Yu simply shrugged indifferently.

Bi Jian could only blame himself for his fate; in fact, he had not really done anything yet, not even launched an attack once.

Everything was the result of Bi Jian's own doing.

Watching Bi Jian being led away, Gu Yu felt a moment of satisfaction, although he didn't know how Bi Jian had previously gotten out of the station, but this time, Bi Jian was definitely facing imprisonment!

His first opponent had finally been completely dealt with.

However, the system hadn't yet signaled the completion of the mission, and the ten thousand Check-in Points hadn't been credited yet.

He estimated that there needed to be a series of judgments, although Bi Jian had been caught again, Sword Barrier Network was still desperately hanging on.

As long as Sword Barrier Network hadn't gone bankrupt, the mission wasn't completed yet.

As Gu Yu contemplated when to "visit" Sword Barrier Network, an aged hand suddenly rested on his left shoulder from behind.

"Yu, what are you thinking about? How about we go for lunch together at noon? Bring your girlfriend and Pu and the others," Mr. Chen Tian said, resting his hand unreservedly on Gu Yu's shoulder, a benevolent smile on his face.

The people around were shocked by Mr. Chen's chummy and congenial demeanor with Gu Yu.

Yu?

Pu?

Going for lunch together?

The young boss widened his eyes, filled with confusion.

What kind of person was Gu Yu that even the recently stern and authoritative Old Mr. Chen instantly turned amiable and invited him to a meal!

Who was Chen Tian? In the circle, he was dubbed the Warren Buffett of the online gaming investment world!

It was all thanks to Chen Tian's sharp business sense and decades of rich experience in the gaming field. This elderly man, who established Shengda Network twenty years ago, was a leading benchmark in the industry.

So, dining with him was akin to dining with the gaming Buffett!

Just receiving a bit of his advice could greatly enhance a company's development.

The key point was that Chen Tian had initiated the invitation to Gu Yu! And clearly, he was very close to Gu Yu and his companions.

Obviously, anyone could see that the central figure was Gu Yu.

That is to say, because of his closeness to Gu Yu, Old Mr. Chen also showed closeness to the people around him!

"Who exactly is this Gu Yu?"

Several young bosses wondered simultaneously.

Like these astonished young bosses, the current Chairman of Shengda, Chen Qiao, was also full of surprise.

He knew that although his father was very serious about work and presented a dignified, businesslike demeanor to outsiders, he was actually very approachable in reality.

But approachable as he might be, like his father who had long held a high position, his standards were not ordinary.

It was rare for someone to catch his father's discerning eye, let alone to walk arm in arm, calling each other brothers!

He could tell at a glance that his father and Gu Yu were interacting as equals!

That is to say, his father did not think Gu Yu was of lower status than himself, or in some respect, his father's recognition of Gu Yu had reached the same level as his own!

Only those who stand on the same level can truly see each other as equals.

Chen Qiao suddenly became intensely curious about Gu Yu's identity.

Gu Yu was so young, it was clearly impossible for him to be the director of some top-tier company; if that were the case, Chen Tian would not be unaware of him.

The circle of elite individuals becomes smaller the higher one goes, and at his level, there was basically no one of the same rank domestically whom he did not know.

There's a saying, "You think those seemingly unrelated big shots are not connected, but behind the scenes, they are actually good friends!"

This is unavoidable social interaction!

Thus, there were only two possibilities for Gu Yu's identity: one was that he had a significant official background, and the other was that he possessed skills that even his father admired, to the extent that his father saw potential in him that would not be inferior to his own in the future.

There were no other possibilities!

Chen Qiao silently chose the first possibility in his mind.

Actually, the second possibility existed too, but it was too improbable, all because Gu Yu was simply too young.

He appeared to be only about twenty-one or twenty-two years old; at this age, he should still be just a university student. What future potential could be discerned?

An official background was different — power, power, where power comes before profit. In Huaxia, power has always been greater than profit since ancient times!

Only such a background could make his father lower his pretense and treat him as an equal.

Chen Qiao gazed deeply at Gu Yu's face, this handsome face that even men couldn't fault became deeply etched in his mind, and he categorized him into the relationship of absolutely not to be offended.

As a businessman, to ensure long-term peace and prosperity for his company, one must have discerning eyes and classify people quickly.

Those to befriend, those who are neutral, those not to be provoked, and those absolutely taboo; only by placing everyone in a specific category can one navigate troubled waters as nimbly as a catfish.

After pondering, Chen Qiao also took the initiative to go over and greet Gu Yu.

Xu Fei followed behind him, watching Gu Yu chatting and laughing with Chen Tian, with continuous flashes of admiration in her eyes.

She originally thought he was just a handsome man, but he turned out to have unexpected excellence.

"This really touches one's heart?" Xu Fei licked her red lips lightly with her tongue, she almost wanted to devour Gu Yu whole.

"I'm very casual about this, you guys arrange where to go for lunch, just not some big restaurants or fancy hotels; I'd rather eat at a street food stall."

Old Mr. Chen was discussing lunch arrangements with Gu Yu and a few others.

Gu Yu suggested going to a five-star hotel, but Old Mr. Chen waved his hand dismissively.

Gu Yu looked helplessly at his girlfriend, truly unsure of what to arrange.

He always felt that for someone of Mr. Chen Tian's status, arranging a street stall would be too low-class!

"Haha, Sir Chen, if you say that, then Yu and I will just take you to a small restaurant!"

Lin Xinyue took over the conversation and joked.

But Chen Tian nodded very seriously, "Sure! Small restaurants are good! I like ramen and rice bowls!"

Lin Xinyue was speechless, she hadn't expected Old Mr. Chen to be serious, she thought he was just being polite!

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu's brow furrowed, now that Old Mr. Chen had said this, then he did have a destination in mind.

"Old Mr. Chen, if you say so, then I might just take you to eat noodles for lunch. Lanzhou Ramen!"

He thought of Mr. Liu and Mrs. Bai's noodle shop—though simple, the flavor was extremely authentic.

"Ramen sounds great! Just ramen! No problem!"

Chen Tian nodded, his face full of smiles.
