The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“The film productions and food and beverage businesses have been the bread and butter of Gu International. Being what Gu International started off with, I am sure that they would save their food and beverage business if they had to sacrifice one to save the other. So Wen Tao, I need you focus on taking down their film production business after their housing development business is down. The most direct and efficient way to do that is to go after their artists, but before that send our people to poach those of good image and reputation for Gu Enterprise. Settle what I just said in one day so as to not let Gu Tianmu have any chance to counter the attack.”

“Yes,” PA Wen replied quickly.

“What about their chain restaurant?” Ye Yuwei asked carefully.

Gu Juexi’s pen flew out of his hand and he pursed his lips.

The chain restaurant of Gu International.

Gu Juexi put his hands on the table and hesitated. “I will give you one week for the tasks I set earlier then. Leave the chain restaurants to me and when I come back, I will take them back myself after one week,” said Gu Juexi, making up his mind in seconds.

Gu Juexi said it so quickly that how he spoke earlier began to sound normal to them.

Ye Yuwei knew that Gu Juexi wanted to give Gu International the final strike himself. He said he would take care of the chain restaurants when he came back, which meant that he had made up his mind to go to the Bai family’s fortress.

He stuck to his decision to take down the Bai family before the Gu family.

“One week is too short to take down the Bai family,” Ye Yuwei said. “We have no idea how many underground bases the Bai family has and where the bases are located, not to mention that their situation now is still unclear.”

“You will never know if you don’t go in there,” Gu Juexi insisted, his hands still on the table.

“But you won’t know what is waiting for you in there either! I agree that it could be the answer that we have been searching for, but what if it was a tiger that is waiting to bite?” Ye Yuwei sprang up from her seat in distress. She didn’t quite understand the instructions that he had given earlier but she could always check with PA Wen and get things done. However, it was very clear this time that Gu Juexi was making a rash decision to visit the Bai family fortress and it could very possibly cost him his life.

Feeling that he shouldn’t join the conversation, PA Wen got up from his seat quietly and saw Ye Xicheng who was eavesdropping and peeking at them from the door.

“Xicheng?” PA Wen’s mind went blank for a moment when he saw the little boy but he dragged him aside very quickly. “You’ll be in trouble if your dad sees you; he hates it when people eavesdrop.”

Ye Xicheng was not frightened at all and blinked up at PA Wen. “Can I have a copy of the recording, uncle?”

He might be young but he could tell that a man like Gu Juexi was not easy to defeat, even for him.

Wen Tao squatted down in front of Ye Xicheng and stroked his hair. “There are things that you shouldn’t know until you are older, Xicheng. Leave them to the adults for now and I promise to tell you the things that you wanted to know when you are older.”

Ye Xicheng pursed his tiny lips and looked in the direction of the study. “Is he really that smart?”

“For someone who could come up with full, comprehensive strategies to tear down a listed company in half an hour, your father is a very incredible man. He is also a hero,” Wen Tao said earnestly while stroking Ye Xicheng’s hair.

He picked a fight with the Bai family not only because of Ye Yuwei, but also because of his army spirit that made him want to defend justice and this nation.

Ye Xicheng clenched his little fists and vowed to be even more incredible than the old meatball when he grew up.
