Chapter Fifty-Seven: Going Too Well
An Zaiguo's conditions were indeed very lucrative, if he was an ordinary businessman, he would probably have been bought by him, but Gu Chen was not interested in it at all.
"Your Excellency President," the corners of Gu Chen's lips hooked slightly, and he slowly spoke: "I am very moved by the fact that you can say that, which shows that you are not so indifferent to Xiao Ran that you are inhuman." ”
An Zaiguo frowned, and Gu Chen continued: "However, you should know that no matter what direction the country's policy will develop, it is impossible to influence my steps. I am a serious businessman, and I do reasonable and legal business, and T&G's entry into China is necessary for the normal operation of the consortium, not for the purpose of deliberately targeting anyone. There is a domestic market, and I am here for this huge market. The addition of the Gu consortium will only create benefits for the country, not trouble...... However, since the President has brought it up, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you, I don't think I have ever upset the President somewhere, so why should I be in trouble with T&G at every turn? ”
Gu Chen asked bluntly, without any disguise.
This is a question that has always existed in his heart, An Zaiguo is upright and never partial, which is also the reason why he has been re-elected for two terms, Gu Chen admires him very much.
However, after T&G opened the domestic market, An Zaiguo launched various new policies, which led to the failure of several T&G businesses, which not only affected the progress of the project, but also compensated the partners a lot of money, resulting in a decline in the credibility of the industry.
These are all the results of An Zaiguo's deliberate actions.
Gu Chen's avoidance made An Xiaoran's heart feel a little lost. He did not respond positively to An Zaiguo, but skillfully avoided An Jaeguo's question by asking questions.
An Xiaoran lowered her eyes, and the expectant light in her eyes disappeared.
She convinced herself in her heart that if it was her, she would not be able to answer her father clearly, he and her were not that kind of relationship in the first place, let alone talk about future marriage, so how could they talk about negotiations.
Sure enough, Gu Chen is not a person who plays cards according to common sense. He was young, but his mind was extremely quick, and he was more logical than many seasoned politicians in politics.
"I can't answer you on that. Ahn paused and said, "This is not my proposal alone, but a decision made by voting on behalf of the meeting." In recent years, the domestic companies have been mixed, and many of them have done a few orders, and they have returned to China directly after snatching away the resources, causing a lot of losses in the industry. There is a large loss of technical personnel, technical skills are becoming weaker and weaker, and even many inherited formulas have been brought abroad. If this pattern continues, there will be no guarantee for domestic technology. That's why we decided to restrict foreign companies from entering the country. I think Gu Shao just didn't catch up with this rectification turmoil. ”
"Oh?" Gu Chen smiled: "Then it's my bad luck......
An Zaiguo nodded: "Exactly." ”
"Your Excellency seems to like to put the blame on fate, according to your logic, An Xiaoran also met me because of bad luck?" Gu Chen's words changed and reached An Xiaoran.
An Xiaoran looked up at him and blinked in confusion.
"What do you mean by that?" Ahn Jae-kook asked quickly.
"If you have to blame all this on chance and luck, then I misunderstood, and the encounter with Xiao Ran turned out to be not intentional by someone. ”
"What the hell are you talking about......?"
"The first time I saw her, she was drugged, yes, the kind of medicine you thought. She was so confused that she almost lost consciousness, but luckily she met me and nothing happened. Seeing her again, she danced in the dark night, was asked by the guests to wear revealing dance clothes, and posed in all kinds of bewitching postures in front of everyone to please the men in the audience......"
Ahn Jae-kook's whole body tensed. Gu Chen had only a few words, but every word was rooted in his heart.
What's the deal with being drugged, what's going on dancing in the dark?!
In the dark night, he knew that he had sent people there more than once to seal it up, but because it was the hottest 'city that never sleeps' in the national chain, there were many elements of official protection, and it could not be completely cleaned up every time.
He never thought that An Xiaoran would go to that kind of place to dance.
"An Xiaoran, haven't you been working? Why did you run into the dark night? Do you know what kind of place it is!"
An Zaiguo's voice trembled, he never thought that his daughter, who had always been sensible and mature, would go to the dark night ghosts, this is simply degenerate!
"The third time I saw her, it was even more interesting. Gu Chen didn't wait for An Xiaoran to answer, and said directly: "She is in my company's private lounge, and she does not hesitate to sell her body...... For the sake of her mother, she offered to be my woman......"
An Xiao's eyes were red, I don't know if it was because of grievances or humiliation.
She couldn't believe her ears, Gu Chen actually told her father all her unbearable past.
Her pride was shattered, as if she had been stripped naked by him and judged in front of outsiders.
She didn't know what Gu Chen's purpose was when she said this, she could say it without any scruples, her heart was twisted together, and the feeling of powerlessness from the inside out made her almost unstable.
"Shut up!"
Gu Chen didn't seem to see her pain, raised his eyebrows and said, "What, how long do you have to hide it? He's your father, is it so hard to admit it?" An Xiaoran, you are with me for money, how much...... Oh yes, two hundred thousand...... You sold yourself to me for your mother's medical expenses and a mere 200,000 yuan, didn't you?"
"Is that really the case, Xiao Ran ......" An Zaiguo slowly stood up, and his old body couldn't stand up straight because of shock.
His daughter, who was once proud, would sell her body for money, and such a filthy behavior would happen to his daughter.
Tears welled up in her eyes, An Xiaoran couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the breakfast bag on the table casually, and threw it all on Gu Chen's face.
She's angry! she's really angry!
Gu Chen, how could he do this, without caring about her thoughts or her face.
Maybe in his heart, she is such a shameless woman. But since he looked down on her, why did he save her.
He could ignore her, he could snub her, and it would make it clear to her that they were nothing more than a monetary transaction. can give her a touch and illusion, and ruthlessly sober her up, this kind of rollercoaster treatment, so that she can't accept it.
Gu Chen closed his eyes, the soup bag was smashed, the soup spilled on the bed, he slowly opened his eyes, and let the hot juice stay on his cheeks, as if he was unconscious.
"You're too much......"
An Xiaoran squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, couldn't bear it anymore, and ran out crying.
"Little Dye...... Little Dye ......"
An Zaiguo wanted to chase after him, Gu Chen said coldly: "I've always been curious, what kind of father would let his daughter live that kind of ghost life, and the medical expenses of thousands of yuan a day were thrown on her, but she was not given a way to live." She has a talent for acting, she has a talent for design, she can dance, she can make ends meet, and even pay for medical bills, so why is she living so badly? She has no way out, she has to take refuge in me, she lives humbly by my side, she has to hide the pride in her bones, to endure the humiliation of betraying herself......"
"Don't say it. ”
"She's going to give up her self-esteem to meet the needs of the alloy master......"
"Say no more!"
"Even take your own clothes off your own initiative......"
"I'll tell you to stop talking!" Ahn Jae-kook roared angrily.
"Why, my words made you uncomfortable? Just said this, you became angry, so when you drove her out, restricted her talents, and didn't give her a job, did you ever think that she would be forced to go down this road? When you appeared in front of the public with a red face as the president of a country, did you ever think that your daughter was at the bottom of society, doing the hardest and most tiring work, just to save her mother?"
An Zaiguo's blood pressure soared, and his head was dizzy, and he barely stood firm by holding on to the table next to the bed.
Gu Chen took a deep breath and used his uninjured hand to remove the broken bun on his head little by little.
"I don't say this to provoke you, nor to provoke you, Your Excellency, I just want you to understand that there are many things that you don't fully grasp, so your single-mindedness will only harm the people you want to protect the most. I don't know why you've done that to her all these years, but I can see that you know you're a father. ”
"What if she was drugged that time, and met not me, but a man with bad intentions? In the dark of night, when she needed money the most, what would have happened if I hadn't happened to show up? Have you ever thought about all this? You are a father, but you are also an extremely unqualified father. ”
An Xiaoran was so lucky to meet him. Gu Chen couldn't imagine what would happen if any of these links were missed.
She may lose herself completely, lose everything she has.
"In this world, not everything can be resolved through negotiation. I don't dare to take credit, but I must remind you that if it weren't for my appearance, you would definitely regret it for the rest of your life, and you shouldn't have come to negotiate terms with me, so to speak, you are completely looking in the wrong direction. ”
The amount of information in Gu Chen's words was too large, and An Zaiguo couldn't fully accept it for a while.
He's looking in the wrong direction? Yes, he's going in the wrong direction.
He always thought that An Xiaoran would rather work than go home over the years, for the sake of him marrying Du Peizhao. He thought that she couldn't be rich and rich, but at least she could solve the problem of food and clothing. But she never thought that she was living in such an embarrassment, and she even did not hesitate to go to Gu Chen for money......
His daughter knows best, her bones are very hard, she is not at a dead end, and she will never do such a thing.
"Have you ......" An Zaiguo looked at Gu Chen and asked seriously, "Have you ever touched her......"
He said that she did not hesitate to give up her dignity and undress, which had to make An Zaiguo worry about her daughter's safety.
"Nope. ”
Gu Chen replied without hesitation.
An Zaiguo's eyes suddenly showed a touch of complicated emotions.
"Why?"
He didn't do anything, so what did he do to fund An Xiaoran.
Gu Chen sat there, not knowing how to answer. Because he respects her, because he pips her, or because he has fallen in love with her......
Thinking of this possible answer, Gu Chen himself was shocked. How is it possible, he and An Xiaoran have only known each other for a few days, how can they talk about love?
It was a sentimental word that would never happen to him in his life, and since he witnessed that incident, he had vowed that he would never pin his ridiculous feelings on anyone again.
In his life, it is impossible for him to fall in love with An Xiaoran.
"Didn't you give Xiao Ran money? You can't help her for no reason without any demand. An Zaiguo thought for a while, and then said, "It's because of me, right? Because he is my daughter, you deliberately approached her." ”
It was the most logical reason he could think of. It is impossible for an economically minded businessman like Gu Chen to help others without seeking any benefits, he must have wanted something, but he didn't think of it yet.
Gu Chen thought about it, and said lightly: "Actually, I am indeed very interested in one thing, and only the president can give me the answer." ”
"What's the matter?" Ahn raised his eyebrows.
"There is a heart ...... about the success of the former president's wife Lin Su"
