At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

After swiftly concluding the interview, Gu Yu took his cell phone and went to the empty room next door to answer the call.

He swiped to answer, and Chen Tian's voice came through immediately. Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire

"Yu, where are you now?"

Chen Tian's voice sounded like he had something to discuss with him.

Gu Yu quickly replied, "I'm at the company. Sir, do you need something from me?"

Ever since he had met Prince Weitu with Chen Tian, Gu Yu hadn't seen the old man again; nor had the old man invited him to play games or shared model photos like usual.

It was clear that the old man had been very busy lately.

He must have been busy with setting up the factory in the Gulf, a venture that involved many aspects such as finance, technology, and connections, all requiring the old man's personal attention.

This was a major affair; if it had been just about arranging a domestic company, the old man's skills would have sufficed to handle everything without even showing up in person.

But an energy factory in the Gulf involved several countries and many political issues.

"At the company, huh. I heard your company is hiring salespeople, how is that going? Did you manage to hire the right people? If you need, I can arrange for some support from Shengda's end."

Chen Tian didn't start with his own matters but showed concern for Gu Yu's recent arrangements instead.

Gu Yu, holding his phone, was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected that the old man, despite being busy, was still keeping up with his company's affairs, which moved him a bit.

But he couldn't accept the old man's considerate offer.

"My arrangements here are quite good, and we've hired all the people we need, so there's no need to trouble you, sir."

Gu Yu decisively declined the old man's offer. If this had been the early days of Ideal Paradise, he might have been happy to accept free help.

But now, Ideal Paradise had some foundation, and the company's staffing structure was in the process of being established, making it inconvenient to integrate people from outside.

Even if it was arranged by the old man.

Shengda was, after all, a company, and though the old man had stepped back, he still could make some personnel changes. However, Shengda's actual leader, Chen Qiao, the old man's son, wouldn't just listen to his father's suggestions.

As the current chairman of Shengda, Chen Qiao would definitely consider personnel arrangements from the company's perspective.

Now that Ideal Paradise was not yet developed enough to pose a threat to Shengda, but if Ideal Paradise grew and became on par with Shengda, inserting personnel into Ideal Paradise would be quite necessary.

The old man might have good intentions, but Chen Qiao might not.

Although their relationships had been good during their previous meetings, Gu Yu knew it was because of the old man's presence.

If something were to happen to the old man, Chen Qiao would definitely prioritize the company over their personal relationship.

Gu Yu never thought too highly or too poorly of someone, he just analyzed things from a rational perspective.

If it were up to his personality, even if something happened to the old man in the future, he would prioritize sentiment; he was a person who valued relationships deeply.

He would definitely help if anything happened to the Chen Family!

Because the old man had supported him, offering significant help when he had no strength of his own.

"Haha, it seems like your company is running very well now."

Regarding Gu Yu's refusal of his offer, Chen Tian just fell silent for a couple of seconds; he seemed to understand Gu Yu's thoughts and did not say much more.

"Haha, thanks to your early help for us."

Gu Yu laughed on the phone, expressing genuine gratitude without any formalities.

"Helping you was also helping me, nothing much to say about that. But let me talk about why I need your help this time; I really need your assistance."

Chen Tian candidly shared his thoughts and directly sought Gu Yu's help.

"Tell me, sir, anything I can do to help, I absolutely will!"

Gu Yu didn't refuse to help Chen Tian; he had been worried about not having a chance to solve Chen Tian's problems.

He owed too many favors during this period.

Chen Tian, "Then I won't be polite, I need you to take a trip abroad for me at the end of this month, to a small country, Kuwait, to handle some matters concerning an energy plant."

"Uh, this..."

Gu Yu was taken aback, he hadn't expected Chen Tian to ask for his help with this matter, it was truly beyond his expectations.

"What's wrong? Don't you have time? Or do you have other concerns? Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that a small factory I had arranged over there now needs to handle some handover work, and it requires a responsible person to confirm a few things."

Chen Tian sensed Gu Yu's hesitation and quickly asked.

It was evident he placed great importance on this matter, and it must also be quite urgent, which is why he sought Gu Yu's help.

Firstly because Gu Yu was familiar with the matter and had also met with Prince Weitu, and secondly, Gu Yu's ability was outstanding, so he would definitely be able to handle it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically sought out Gu Yu to discuss this matter.

It was just that he hadn't expected Gu Yu seemed unable to agree...

"Uh, I really don't have the time, old man, I'm not going to lie, I also have plans to go abroad at the end of the month, it has all been arranged beforehand."

Gu Yu hesitated for a moment before revealing his situation.

This was too much of a coincidence, both requiring him to go abroad and both at the end of the month.

"You have to go abroad at the end of the month? Why haven't you mentioned this to me before?"

When Gu Yu refused, Chen Tian was not annoyed, just somewhat surprised.

"I haven't really chatted with you lately... Here's what, I'm driving over to see you now, and we can talk face-to-face."

Gu Yu's expression was slightly helpless, and after thinking it over, he decided it would be better to visit Chen Tian and talk in person.

Refusing over the phone really didn't show sincerity.

"Alright, then come over, I'm waiting for you at Mosin Afternoon Tea Restaurant."

After saying this, Chen Tian hung up the phone.

A few seconds later, Gu Yu received the address sent by the old man on his messaging app.

It wasn't very far from here, just about thirty kilometers, and he could get there in about half an hour.

Gu Yu sent an okay gesture emoji to the old man.

Then he went to the finance office to say hello to Lin Xinyue about going out, and arranged some work for the interview candidates with his boss before hastily leaving.

Driving, he followed the navigation all the way.

Forty minutes later, he arrived at the designated address.

Mosin Afternoon Tea Restaurant.

A relaxed restaurant with an American-style coffee shop vibe, where through the roadside floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see many elegantly dressed men and women drinking tea and chatting inside.

"The life of the wealthy really is leisurely..."

Gu Yu muttered to himself, then straightened his collar and walked in.

He still did not regard himself as a wealthy person.

"Welcome to Mosin, are you here for a meal or do you have an appointment?"

As soon as he walked in, the receptionist greeted him with a warm smile.

Just as Gu Yu was about to reply, he saw Chen Tian rise from a booth and wave at him.

Smiling slightly at the receptionist, he pointed at Chen Tian, "I have an appointment."

"Oh, alright, I'll take you to your table."

Looking at the handsome and elegant Gu Yu, the young receptionist felt her ears warm up, and quickly led the way for Gu Yu.
