80s Wife Is Sweet and Sassy

Chapter 79 – The black-hearted younger brother who didn’t recognize his own relatives. (2)

“6 yuan. If you still don’t want to, then let’s just forget it.”

Chu Peng lifted his foot and wanted to walk away, but he was stopped by Chu Qiao. Then he was dragged by Chu Qiao to the door. Chu Qiao took out 6 yuan from her pocket, and gritted her teeth in distress, which made Chu Peng feel a little bit uneasy. But it was just a little bit, no more than that. After all, compared to buying the book, such a little conscience was nothing. He was determined to be ruthless and become a big profiteer guy. So he could not be emotional. 

“You quickly go. When you come back, don’t forget to tell me about what happened the on-the-spot live. By the way, the things on Gu Jianshe’s side, please also ask about that too.”

Chu Qiao gave the money and pushed it hard. Chu Peng said coldly, “If you want to inquire about Gu Jianshe’s side, then you have to give me extra money, it will be 8 yuan.”

“Then you don’t need to inquire about it.”

Chu Qiao rolled her eyes, she really didn’t realize it before that Chu Peng was such a person who haggled over every cent, really such a cheapskate.

Chu Yuanzhi looked at the interaction between his daughter and son in doubt. Since when did Qiao Qiao and Xiao Peng get so close together? They had never paid attention to each other before.

However, he was still very pleased with that. After all, they were biological siblings, so naturally they would have some good affections. And in the future, they would help each other, which was very good.

At this time, the atmosphere in the courtyard of the Gu family and the He family was extremely low. Gu Jianshe was called back. There were also his father Gu Jiefang, and his mother Zhu Yuzhen. Old Mr Gu was sitting with a dark face, and there was also Lin Yulan who was standing next to him, who was anxious and frightened.

Lin Yulan’s appearance was in her early fifties and was well maintained. In fact, she was already in her sixties. She was 35 when she gave birth to her son, Gu Ye, which was an advanced maternal age. However, her figure was still slender, fair skinned, and well maintained. She didn’t look old at all. It was just that she was a submissive type of person. From first glance, it could be seen that she was a woman who didn’t have her own opinion.

Gu Ye was also called back. After all, he was involved too.

“Dad, why did you call us to come back?” Gu Jiefang boldly asked.

“Ask your good son, what kind of beastly things he has done. Because of him, laozi’s1 face had been lost!”

1Laozi (老子) : I / me (used arrogantly or jocularly)

Old Mr. Gu grabbed the teacup and smashed it in front of his eldest son. The tea and the porcelain were splashed all over the floor. Gu Jiefang didn’t dare to hide. There was tea on his pants, luckily it wasn’t the freshly brewed tea.

Gu Jianshe’s heart skipped a beat, then he glared at Gu Ye. This bastard Gu Ye unexpectedly didn’t do what he said, and was lying behind his back.

“Little Uncle, the matter of your sales department, I have handled it for you.”

Gu Jianshe gritted his teeth while saying that. He was reminding Gu Ye to not forget his promise.

Recently, the sales department in the machine tool factory had no leader. Several section chiefs had been replaced in a row, but none of them lasted long, the longest one was only half a year. No one dared to take over the difficult sales department, but Gu Ye wanted to go there, and he didn’t have any sales experience. So if he simply proposed to be the head of the sales department, some people certainly wouldn’t be convinced.

Fortunately, the position of section chief was chosen by votes. All the staff of the sales department, plus the leaders of the machine tool factory, as long as more than half agreed, then Gu Ye would get that position. Gu Ye had already made some connections with the sales department and the leaders’ side, except Gu Jianshe. 

Gu Jianshe was very good at using deception and temptation to confuse people’s thinking. There were many cadres in the machine tool factory who had a good relationship with him. So if Gu Jianshe voted ‘no’, then others would certainly vote ‘no’ too. That’s why Gu Ye asked him to vote ‘yes’ for him at the meeting.

Gu Jianshe didn’t dare to refuse. So he voted ‘yes’ at the voting meeting, and most of them passed. Then it was only to be expected for Gu Ye to become the chief of the sales department. As for the work in the security department, it was already taken over by the new person. 

Gu Ye’s expression was very calm and undisturbed, “Jianshe, you are my nephew, so of course you have to vote for me. We are one family, we can’t fight among ourselves, and let outsiders see us as a laughing stock!”

“Dad, don’t you think so?”

Gu Ye asked Old Mr. Gu, and his tone was a bit foolish. Old Mr. Gu used to dislike his youngest son’s scorn, but now he was not in the mood to scold him, as Gu Jianshe had diverted all his anger.
