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

"It's settled then, I'll give you the details when you are about to leave," Chen Tian said, while waving at a waitress in the corridor.

"Hello Mr. Chen, is there anything I can help you with?"

The waitress leaned in, her voice sweet.

After speaking with Chen Tian, she glanced unintentionally at Gu Yu from the corner of her eye, her ears turning red again.

Chen Tian immediately noticed that the waitress was captivated by Gu Yu.

He also felt very amazed, thinking that Gu Yu had now become an idol to thousands, able to dazzle young girls wherever he went.

"Please bring me a vegetable sandwich,"

Chen Tian said, clapping his hands.

"Alright." The waitress nodded and then turned her attention to Gu Yu, "And what about Mr. Gu?"

Gu Yu was startled, he hadn't planned on eating anything, but seeing the waitress's genuine inquisitive look, he hesitated for a moment and then picked up the menu under the table.

His eyes quickly scanned the menu, and finally, his finger paused on the ham sandwich, "This one, please."

"Alright, would you like me to pair it with some cheese? It tastes better with cheese,"

the waitress stood up and offered some menu pairings to Gu Yu.

"That would be fine." Gu Yu did not refuse, having previously enjoyed the cheese-baked sweet potatoes made by Xinyue, he quite liked the flavor of cheese.

The waitress left.

"Haha, you've already charmed her, she never recommended any pairings to me,"

Chen Tian teased.

Gu Yu sipped his San Pellegrino, his expression stoic.

It wasn't that he was narcissistic, but he had really gotten used to this kind of thing.

A person might feel surprised being praised occasionally, but if everyone praised him, he rather felt it as a fixed trait of his, not something worth boasting about.

This was how Gu Yu felt; he just thought that everyone was appreciating his appearance and it wasn't anything noteworthy.

"Your temperament has become much more stable than when I first met you."

Chen Tian said, slightly feeling nostalgic, he remembered when he first met Gu Yu, Gu Yu had shown a youthful naivety when encountering novel things.

But now, Gu Yu could remain unaffected whether facing praise or slander.

He had demonstrated this during his previous lawsuits with the media.

Gu Yu's way of handling things was not like most young people who act impulsively, he knew better how to utilize his own power or connections to deliver critical blows to those against him.

As the saying goes, aim for the soft underbelly, and Gu Yu was now quite proficient at doing just that.

This commendable approach in handling situations made him esteem Gu Yu even more.

He had originally thought it would take many years for Gu Yu to catch up to him, but now, it seemed it wouldn't take long at all.

This young man was talented, learned quickly, and also had an extraordinary background and resources.

The only thing he lacked was experience.

But in this era of information sharing, experience is not difficult to acquire.

There are plenty of experiential talks in books and on the internet to learn from.

As long as someone leads him in, he will progress very rapidly.

Chen Tian looked steadily at Gu Yu, what he was doing now was just leading Gu Yu into the door.

"With a teacher like you, of course I would improve!"

Gu Yu smiled faintly.

Chen Tian's expression brightened, and he felt comfortable with what Gu Yu had just said.

"Well spoken."

Gu Yu looked at Chen Tian's smiling face and lowered his head to order food, but actually, he was reflecting on his own changes.

He couldn't believe that in less than three months, he had come this far.

A united and rapidly developing company, a group of highly respected seniors willing to be his friends, a group of like-minded brothers, and a lover who deeply loved each other.

Having both fame and wealth, he had achieved satisfaction both materially and spiritually.

He finally felt like a winner in life.

What was even more precious was that he knew he hadn't become arrogant, although he was more generous in his behavior than before, he knew this was normal behavior.

Once you reach a certain level, it is necessary to change your views and habits.

It's alright to drink street-side milk tea and wear street-side clothes when you're poor, but once you're wealthy, you need to realize that your lifestyle should move up a notch.

This is not only a reward for oneself but also a way of showing respect to people you interact with.

Just like when he and Chen Tian meet to discuss serious matters, Chen Tian wouldn't take him to a food stall for draft beer for the same reason.

"Speaking of which, did the recruitment of sales staff at your company get resolved? Before you came, I thought about it, and I really shouldn't have transferred people from Shengda to help you."

Seeing Gu Yu lowering his head, lost in thought, Chen Tian initiated the conversation.

Gu Yu looked up, "It's resolved, you don't need to trouble yourself so much, Ideal Paradise is developing well, and we are capable of hiring."

"Hmm, I underestimated you guys. I've given it some thought, and unless necessary, I won't use Shengda's resources to help you anymore, sigh."

Chen Tian pondered, his eyes somewhat melancholic.

Gu Yu noticed his hesitation and curiously asked, "Is there something troubling you?"

He always felt that Old Mr. Chen seemed to be worried about something.

Chen Tian looked into Gu Yu's eyes and after a few seconds of silence, he seemed to come to a realization.

His tone became more casual.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's somewhat related to Shengda Group. Although it's not ideal to say this, I still have to tell you that from now on, it would be best for your Ideal Paradise to gradually reduce deep collaboration with Shengda."

"Although due to my influence I can still speak within Shengda and move some people, the help I've provided you recently has been too frequent, and it has started to cause gossip."

"You know, I have already stepped down, and now my son Chen Qiao manages the company, I really shouldn't be too visible within the group, as it would put my son Chen Qiao in a difficult position."

Chen Tian shared everything he was thinking.

His expression became more somber, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

He worried that Gu Yu might not understand.

He watched Gu Yu, who had fallen into thought again, trying to guess how Gu Yu would respond.

Unexpectedly, after pondering for half a minute, Gu Yu suddenly flashed him a toothy smile. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

"I understand, Old Mr. Chen, you can rest assured."

"Even if Mr. Qiao does something detrimental to my company in the future, I can understand it and certainly won't bear a grudge against him."

Gu Yu said something that was somewhat off-topic.

But Chen Tian's mood suddenly brightened, smiling again, "Good lad! That's what I've been waiting to hear!"

Gu Yu finished the water left in his cup and said indifferently, "I'm not foolish enough to misinterpret your implications."

"This isn't a struggle between Mr. Qiao and me, but rather a competition between companies, which is inevitable in the development of any industry."
