Prepared for This?
Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network. Narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.
It was because Li Ruotai's words were too exaggerated that Gu Rui Bo was willing to risk testing Mao Rusong. The conversation in the car was also one of the reasons that prompted him to test Wuchen.
Because Mao Rusong mentioned that Wu Chen knew about the time he tricked Ding Runlong, and that the matter shouldn't have been known to outsiders, it seemed that Wu Chen knew a lot of things, so it was him.
However, Gu Ruibo didn't expect Wu Chen to be able to help him solve anything. He just wanted to see what Wu Chen would say and how much he could say, so that he could more clearly judge what Wu Chen's abilities were.
What he didn't know was that his question was exactly what Wu Chen wanted to hear.
According to Wu Chen's original plan, he would first contact Mao Rusong in Magic City, and then Gu Rui Bo. Mao Rusong was not of much use for the time being, but he was told not to imply that Gu Rui Bo was indeed of great use.
Wu Chen also wanted to take things one step at a time, but things went much more smoothly than he had imagined.
Your older brother!
Wu Chen turned to look at Gu Rui Bo, put down his chopsticks, and smiled, saying, "It'll be difficult for you to beat him."
Although his Huarui Fund had significant problems, it was still in relatively good condition overall.
He has a keen eye for investment; his investments in recent years have been quite successful.
Gu Ruibo's older brother is his biological brother from the same parents, named Gu Ruiqiang.
Gu Ruiqiang is 35 years old this year, three years older than Gu Ruibo, and is the first person of the third generation of the Gu Family in Magic City.
The two brothers were both core disciples of the Gu Family, and were also blood brothers with little age difference. In fact, they had a good relationship and were not enemies.
Both brothers are business geniuses, and each was selected for Forbes' 30 Under 30 list of business elites before the age of 30.
Within the extended family circle, the two brothers were even given a complimentary title, known as the Gu Family Twin Stars.
Gu Ruibo was a very strong figure who could directly compete with Ding Ruilong in business, but now, Gu Ruibo's business achievements, reputation, and asset size are all inferior to his older brother Gu Ruiqiang.
The two brothers have a good relationship, but Gu Ruibo just can't accept his older brother's superiority. He always felt that his older brother was only inferior to him because he was a few years older than him, otherwise he would definitely not be as good as him. He believed that he was the number one person in the third generation of the Gu Family. Therefore, the two brothers now have a healthy competitive relationship.
Wu Chen said a few words, which Gu Rui Bo found meaningless, even though he knew Wu Chen did know some things about the Gu Family. However, Wu Chen turned and smiled at Gu Rui Bo, saying, "Most of the resources your company uses are being used to help you profit. Although you've done a good job, you can't have a business conflict with your brother. He gets to use the resources first. It's really difficult to beat him, but it's not impossible. It just depends on whether you dare to do it."
It's not that we don't have the opportunity or we don't dare to do it.
Gu Rui Bo analyzed the meaning behind Wu Chen's words.
Wu Chen had a solution; he used Shi Dan.
Does Wu Chen really have a solution?
Mr. Wu, do you think you dare to do it?
Gu Rui Bo seemed somewhat surprised and uncertain, then took the initiative to explain that he actually had a good relationship with his older brother, and that he didn't dare to say anything.
Gu Rui Bo didn't spell it out, but Wu Chen understood what he meant; he had misunderstood Wu Chen.
When Wu Chen asked if he dared to do it, he thought Wu Chen was referring to methods that would harm his older brother and ruin his older brother's business.
Gu Ruibo would never do those things; he just wanted to prove to his Xiang Family and older brother that he was better at business than his brother.
Gu Ruibo is a relatively peaceful person. Little Google has a good reputation. He and Ding Ruilong may use all sorts of underhanded tricks in business battles, but that's limited to business battles. He never involves others, even though he knows that Ding Ruilong has serious problems and has nothing to do with your older brother.
Wu Chenxue smiled.
In business terms, let's say you want to make money. If you want to be richer and more successful than your older brother, then you have to...
Wu Chen didn't continue speaking, he just smiled.
What does "dare or not" refer to?
Gu Ruibo asked Ding Ruilong, somewhat confused.
Wu Chen laughed.
Ding Ruilong?
Gu Ruibo's expression changed. Of course, he knew that Wu Chen was a thorn in Ding Ruilong's side, and that Wu Chen was also targeting Ding Runlong. The root of the conflict lay with Li Ruobing, and on a larger scale, it was a marriage alliance between the Ding Family and Li Family. This was a big deal, and Gu Rui Bo did not want to get involved.
Do you dare?
Do you dare to go all out and kill Ding Ruilong?
Gu Rui Bo subconsciously thought this way, but immediately felt something was wrong, because Wu Chen had said before that he would only talk about making money in business, and his words were very clear: Mr. Wu, Ding Ruilong and I...
Gu Ruibo thought for a moment, then added, "I've been fighting with him for years. If I could beat him, I would have done so long ago. I also want to take his business, but what do I dare to do?"
If it were simply a matter of waging a business war against Ding Ruilong, stealing Ding Ruilong's business to strengthen oneself, then there would be nothing Gu Ruibo wouldn't dare to do; this is what Gu Rui Bo has always been doing.
One point worth mentioning is that the competition between Gu Rui Bo and Ding Ruilong is about investment business, which Ding Ruilong was already doing before he made the Bet with Li Ruobin. The Ruilong Group, which he founded and named after himself because of his jade gambling, is another separate business. Although Ding Ruilong has focused his main energy on the Ruilong Group in the past four years, he naturally cannot abandon his original business. He still makes the decisions, and a large number of business talents from the Ding Family are also assisting him in making investments.
I see.
Wu Chen interrupted Gu Rui Bo, paused, and then said, "I know about your business competition with Ding Yonglong, so I said it depends on whether you dare to do it. Your original methods definitely won't work, but as long as you dare to do it, I think that within a year at most, your business achievements will not only catch up with your brother, but you will even leave him far behind."
That's an exaggeration. To catch up in just one year and then leave them far behind is simply unbelievable.
If you're interested, we can find a time to talk privately.
Wu Chen smiled after speaking.
Gu Ruibo hesitated for a moment before saying that it was just about business. He needed to confirm it. If it was just about doing business and some commercial tactics, then although he didn't quite believe what Wu Chen was saying, he was still willing to discuss it in detail with Wu Chen.
"Yes, the business is profitable," Wu Chen confirmed.
Okay, let's find another place after we finish eating.
Gu Ruibo agreed.
Okay, I'll make a call.
Seeing that Gu Ruibo had agreed, Wu Chen immediately took out his phone, dialed a number, and put the phone to his ear.
This scene startled Gu Ruibo.
What? You just made a phone call?
Gu Rui Bo suddenly felt a chill, because he clearly sensed that Wu Chen seemed to have come prepared.
Even though it was something he asked tentatively during casual conversation, it felt like Wu Chen had been prepared for it all along.
The more he thought about it, the colder he felt. If this was true, then Gu Rui Bo remembered that Wu Chen came to Magic City looking for Mao Rusong, but not him. It was always him who approached Wu Chen in the first place.
As Gu Ruibo was thinking about how to solve Mao Rusong's problem, Wu Chen's phone rang.
Hey, I just called, you miss me?
Gu Rui Bo.
In the movie theater, you can hear a very sweet and gentle woman's voice coming from Wu Chen's phone.
Coming to Magic City?
Wu Chen said directly.
Hmm, should I go?
Yes, you're here to discuss business.
Okay, I'll get ready and we'll leave right away.
Very decisively, after hanging up the phone, the person arrived within a few hours.
Wu Chen turned to Gu Rui Bo and said something.
Who is it?
Gu Rui Bo immediately asked a question.
You'll know when you see it.
Is Wu Chen trying to get you to know Wu Yurong?
After hanging up the phone, Wu Yurong, who was in the East Sea, looked somewhat excited. Apart from his bodyguard Chu Yan, there was no one else in the office.
He didn't hide his emotions; he was genuinely excited.
Although Wu Chen's sudden phone call didn't say anything substantial, only asking him to come to Magic City to discuss business, Wu Yurong knew what it was about.
He followed Wu Chen, knowing that he would not only be spared from the collapse of the Ding Family, but would also reap enormous benefits.
He wanted to have lunch with Wu Chen today. Besides feeling a bit resentful, he also wanted to talk to Wu Chen about how he could contribute to the downfall of the Ding Family and how he could profit from it.
Wu Yurong certainly wants a share of the pie, and on this matter, he will listen to Wu Chen.
Wu Yurong gripped his phone, glanced at the city view outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and after a few seconds, he abruptly turned to Chu Yan and told her to cancel the afternoon meeting and prepare to head to Magic City.
I met Gu Rui Bo in Private Dining Room private room at Taoyun Private Kitchen in Magic City.
After thinking for a while, I couldn't come up with an answer. Wu Chen only said he knew him, but didn't say whether they were close or not, which was too vague.
Gu Rui Bo quickly recalled that she had vaguely heard a woman's voice on Wu Chen's phone just now. It was a woman's voice, and she was quite young, in her twenties.
Gu Ruibo even overheard the woman telling Wu Chen that she missed him.
It's certain that it's not Li Ruobing. Li Ruobing's voice is too distinctive. This should be a woman who has that kind of relationship with Wu Chen, while Wu Chen is Li Ruobing's boyfriend, but Wu Chen has other women.
Actually, that's not the point; it's not a big deal. Gu Rui Bo has been married for a long time and has two children, but he also has other women outside of his marriage.
Although Li Ruotai is not married, he has too many women. Even polite people have affairs. Ding Ruilong has an illegitimate daughter, Li Jia even wants to marry Li Ruobing to Ding Ruilong.
Such matters between men and women are generally understood within large family circles, and even among billionaires.
Of course, some men keep their other women a secret from their families, while others do not.
Gu Rui Bo believed that Wu Chen was keeping his other woman a secret from Li Ruobing; otherwise, given Li Ruobin's personality, if he found out, it would cause a major incident.
Li Ruotai praised his brother-in-law Wu Chen to such an extent that Wu Chen even had a secret conversation with Li Maoren.
This made Gu Ruibo feel that Wu Chen's relationship with Li Jia might be more than just that of Li Ruobin's boyfriend.
Gu Rui Bo wasn't one to meddle. Although he felt somewhat sorry for his brother Li Ruotai, Li Ruotai so protective of his older sister, he knew he would definitely be furious if his brother-in-law had other women, but it was always better to stay out of trouble.
Gu Ruibo's current politeness towards Wu Chen is not because Wu Chen is Li Ruo's brother-in-law; that's not the basis for their relationship. Rather, it's based on Li Ruotai's evaluation of him.
This made Gu Ruibo feel that even if Wu Chen had no relation to Li Jia, he was still a very worthwhile person to befriend.
Is he really that amazing? Did he just casually mention it and actually solve the problem?
Gureber was starting to get excited.
If that were truly possible, it would be absolutely amazing. It would be more than just someone worth befriending; you could even become sworn brothers with them.
As Gu Rui Bo was pondering and guessing, the door to the private room creaked open, and Mao Rusong, who had gone out to the restroom, returned.
Gu Rui Bo and Wu Chen exchanged a glance, but neither of them continued the previous topic.
Gu Rui Bo then looked at Mao Rusong and teased him, "Old Mao, are you alright? You've only had a few drinks and you're already running to the toilet. Sigh, no, no, I'm getting old, not like I used to be. How can I compare to you guys!"
Mao Rucong smiled and waved his hand.
They continued drinking, eating, and chatting, rambling on about random things without any clear theme.
The meal finally ended close to 2 p. m.
As they were going downstairs, Gu Rui Bo invited Wu Chen to have some tea in front of Mao Rusong.
Mao Rusong didn't say he would go with anyone; he was hoping he wouldn't go at all. It was better to avoid trouble, especially if it dragged the Ding Family into it and he had to make a decision.
More than three hours later, around 5 p. m., Wu Chen and Gu Rui Bo had been drinking tea for three hours in a private Private Dining Room the fifth floor of Jinzhi Teahouse in Dongpu District, Modu.
Without Mao Rusong present, some things were easier to discuss, mainly focusing on Ding Ruilong.
Wu Chen directly pointed out many of Ding Ruilong's problems in business.
Gu Ruibo thought he knew a lot about Ding Ruilong's business dealings, but Wu Chen revealed things he didn't even know.
During this time, Gu Rui Bo also called his subordinates to verify the information.
His subordinates verified the information in just half an hour, called Gu Rui Bo back, and told him that it was correct and that the target was Ding Ruilong.
The two had a deep conversation. Gu Rui Bo was Ding Ruilong's business rival, while Wu Chen was Ding Ruilong's mortal enemy. They had a common enemy, which is why they were able to talk to each other.
Gu Rui Bo almost felt an instant connection with Wu Chen, and the more they talked, the more alarmed he became, because Wu Chen seemed to know everything.
As it approached 5 p. m., Wu Chen told him a shocking secret: Ding Runlong had killed Dong Yuantao.
This one thing, without saying much else, led Gu Rui Bo to imagine many things. For example, Wu Chen's secret meeting with Li Maoren, and if Wu Chen directly informed the Dong Family, then Ding Ruilong would know everything. Gu Ruibo even knew why Wu Chen took He Shiqin away; she was a witness, and he knew everything. Wu Chen wanted him to know, and he wasn't afraid of him knowing, because this matter had nothing to do with Gu Rui Bo, and the Gu Family and the Ding Family had no connection, yet it allowed him to make money off the opportunity.
If he were to leak the information to outsiders, he might lose the money and could even drag the stock price into unnecessary disputes. Therefore, he wouldn't talk about this with anyone.
Gu Ruibo is a man who dislikes getting involved in trouble. He devotes most of his energy to business, and avoids many other things as much as possible.
Moreover, his life goals are very similar to Wu Yurong's now—is he short of money?
Those who have plenty of money are just numbers now, but who would want to be in a hot seat before?
Currently, Wu Yurong's life pursuit is to achieve greater success in business, in order to gain a higher social status and a stronger network of connections.
Gu Rui Bo is also an example, which is why Wu Chen acted as a go-between, allowing Wu Yurong to be the first to contact Gu Rui Bo.
A cell phone rang in the Private Dining Room; it was Wu Chen's.
Wu Chen glanced at it and answered the call.
Wu Chen laughed and asked, "We've just entered the city. Where are you?"
Wu Yurong asked, "Do you want me to come pick you up?"
No need for a convoy, I came via the highway and will go directly there. Just tell me where you are.
Wu Chen then gave the detailed address and room number on the next floor, along with the surname he had given to the front desk, and hung up the phone.
Mr. Wu, the person has arrived.
Gu Ruibo, holding his teacup, looked at Wu Chen and asked with a smile, "Yes, we've arrived. Will you wait a while?"
Wu Chen smiled, and about half an hour later, the voice of a teahouse receptionist rang out outside the Private Dining Room, inviting Mr. Wu to stay.
He led the way, bringing people here.
Wu Chen and Gu Rui Bo both put down their teacups and turned to look at the pressure exerted.
The door to the Private Dining Room was pushed open by the receptionist, who then stepped aside and gestured that this was the room, and asked the receptionist to address the person who had come in as "Miss".
The woman who entered the Private Dining Room was indeed in her early twenties, wearing sunglasses and a miniskirt.
She casually took off her sunglasses after entering the Private Dining Room, and still looked like she was in her early twenties.
Gu Rui Bo was indeed momentarily stunned.
Ms. Wu?
Gu Rui Bo stood up abruptly.
The person Wu Chen summoned with a single phone call was actually Wu Yurong?
No, that's impossible. I must have misheard. Wu Yurong can't be Wu Chen's woman!
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
