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

(Tonight there will be third and second updates.)

After finishing the discussion about the handover in Kuwait with Chen Tian, they briefly talked about Ideal Paradise's development in the coming month.

After both had finished dining, they stood up simultaneously, and as the elder, Chen Tian placed a hand, wreathed in wrinkles, on Gu Yu's shoulder.

"Don't worry, with me here in the country, nothing will go wrong with Ideal Paradise."

Chen Tian's tone was very steady, giving Gu Yu a sense of someone who had the situation entirely under control.

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Gu Yu felt significantly less worried.

Even though he had nearly finished all his preparations these few days, deep down he was still concerned about Ideal Paradise.

He had just helped the eldest brother establish a sales department, and all the employees were newly recruited; the eldest brother definitely would not have the capacity to take care of anything else at the company for the time being.

Plus, his second brother was a complete tech nerd who had shown a disinterested attitude towards the management of the company from the start, so Gu Yu had no expectations of him lending a hand in this respect.

As for the third brother, his heart was not in it. The third brother was someone who aspired to be a great writer and surely had no interest in the company's affairs.

The only one who could take charge of the overall situation was Xinyue, but Xinyue was going to accompany him, leaving the company without a leader to direct it.

Gu Yu was quite worried that the company's management might suffer issues during his absence.

Now with Mr. Chen's words, he felt much more at ease. With Old Mr. Chen watching over things, Ideal Paradise likely wouldn't face any significant problems.

"Today is already the 18th; in a week at most, you'll be boarding the ship. If you have any problems during this time, ask me."

Chen Tian added, and Gu Yu nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I'm not familiar with Kuwait, so please help me gather some information. I fear making a mistake because I'm unfamiliar with the place."

Gu Yu thought about it, but at the moment, he didn't have any questions to ask Mr. Chen.

It would be better to understand the situation at his destination in advance.

If he remembered correctly, Kuwait was a small country near the Persian Gulf, quite chaotic.

That's what he had gleaned from news reports and posts by global travel bloggers.

"Rest assured! When I get back, I will have someone prepare some materials for you, and didn't I mention that I've arranged someone to pick you up there? Once you disembark, someone will be there to meet you."

Chen Tian walked past Gu Yu at a leisurely pace, heading to the cashier to pay the bill.

However, the service staff abruptly stopped him, "Mr. Chen, as you are a regular customer of our restaurant and it is Mr. Gu's first visit here, the manager has specifically instructed me to waive the bill for this consumption."

The staff member smiled sweetly.

Chen Tian's hand, which was reaching for his wallet, paused, and he glanced at Gu Yu with a slight turn of his head, "Haha, it must be because of Mr. Gu, isn't it? The first time I came here, you didn't waive my bill!"

His tone was teasing, indicating he was just joking and wasn't upset.

However, the waitress was still somewhat flustered. Although she could tell that Chen Tian wasn't angry, she dared not respond to his remark.

Chen Tian could afford to joke, but she had to be careful with her words.

If she affirmed his statement, she would be confronting his dignity; if she denied it, she would be confronting that of Gu Yu.

No matter how she replied, it would be incorrect.

Fortunately, the manager, who was talking with another customer nearby, noticed the situation. He had heard Chen Tian's remark as well.

Quickly composing his smile, he approached Chen Tian, "Old Mr. Chen, as our esteemed regular, simply waiving your bill wouldn't show Mosin's respect to you. We've prepared a membership gift for you; you'll see it the next time you come!"

Having addressed Chen Tian, the manager then turned his gaze to Gu Yu, his eyes brimming with smiles, "Today we have a special event for new customers, and Mr. Gu has just happened to visit us. You're in luck today!"

With these two statements, the manager had effortlessly resolved the waitress's awkward predicament.

Meanwhile, the distinction between the treatment of new customers and regulars was made without making either group feel belittled.

"Haha."

Chen Tian just laughed and kept silent.

Then he took a hundred-dollar bill out of his wallet and placed it in the waiter's hand, "Here's your tip."

Seeing that, Gu Yu also fumbled in his pocket, pulled out a fifty, and handed it to the waiter.

However, the female waiter did not take the money right away. Instead, she pulled a pencil used for marking menus from her pocket and looked at Gu Yu with a pleading face, "Mr. Gu, could you give me an autograph?"

After that, she realized she had almost overlooked Chen Tian and quickly added, "And Mr. Chen, I've admired you for a long time!"

Seeing the female waiter asking for autographs, the manager's face sank slightly, and he was just about to scold the waiter.

"Xiaoqi..."

But Gu Yu took the pencil graciously, signed his name on the fifty-dollar bill, and Chen Tian also didn't hesitate. He took the pencil and fifty from Gu Yu's hand and signed his own name.

The female waiter's eyes shone brighter.

"Keep it safe."

Gu Yu tucked the fifty into her hand, then left the tea restaurant with Chen Tian, chatting and laughing.

The female waiter looked at the fifty-dollar tip in her hand and then at the manager.

Since Chen Tian and Gu Yu said nothing, the manager naturally wouldn't blame his subordinate, but merely remarked indifferently, "This fifty-dollar bill in your hand is no longer just an ordinary fifty."

With Chen Tian's status and Gu Yu's fame, that bill had transcended its original value the moment it was signed by both of them.

The female waiter named Xiaoqi nodded solemnly and carefully folded the bill, placing it into her pocket.

She hadn't openly professed to being a fan of Gu Yu.

She just felt that being a true fan was not about shouting it out loud, but supporting silently from the heart was the best way.

Chen Tian and Gu Yu stepped outside.

"You young man are quite the celebrity now, see that? Even an old man like me can't catch the young lady's attention," Chen Tian said with a chuckle.

Gu Yu curled his lip, "You're a man in your sixties or seventies, how are you supposed to attract young girls? Attracting aunties from the dancing squares would be hard enough."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tian's expression stiffened as he retorted, not convinced, "I don't like hearing that, young man. Don't you know they say 'a man is like wine, getting more refined with age'?"

"A man is a flower at thirty, a gold brick at sixty!"

Seeing Chen Tian speak such shameless words with utter seriousness, Gu Yu was left speechless.

"I haven't seen the flower, but I can see the gold brick alright, with all your wealth, you're not just a gold brick, you're a mountain of gold!" Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire

Gu Yu remembered the times Chen Tian sent photos of beautiful women on WeChat, all those internet celebrity models were obviously attracted by the old man's wealth.

"That's right, a big mountain of gold, soon to be eaten away," Chen Tian nodded, then as if in reflection, said something Gu Yu didn't understand.

Seeing Gu Yu look at him, he didn't explain.

Instead, he nudged Gu Yu's rear with his knee, "Drive, take grandpa to Shengda."

Gu Yu, "Oh."
