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.

Gu Rui Bo had analyzed the situation on the way. Even if Wu Yurong was with Wu Chen, it was in secret. She definitely couldn't let Li Ruobing, Wu Chen's legitimate girlfriend, know. Otherwise, even if Wu Yurong wasn't afraid of Li Ruobing, she would still suffer great losses and her reputation would be damaged. She certainly didn't want the stigma of being a mistress and stealing someone else's boyfriend. So why did she suddenly speak up?

What does that mean?

Is he actively trying to make Li Ruobing aware of this, declaring war on Li Ruobing?

Gu Ruibo quickly tried to guess what was going on, but Wu Chen's words left him completely dumbfounded and utterly shocked.

Is Wu Yurong with you?

You went to Magic City with him?

After a moment of silence, Li Ruobing asked on the phone, her tone cold, clearly annoyed that she wouldn't even ask other women such questions, and could even tease Wu Chen, but the silence was permanent.

Yes, I asked him to come to Magic City.

His face was...

Wu Chen remained calm and smiled as he spoke into the phone, glancing at Wu Yurong before asking again, "Want to chat for a bit?"

I'm kidding you.

Li Ruobing retorted that ever since Wu Yurong kissed her, she wanted to stay away from that woman and didn't want to have much interaction with her.

You ate the wrong thing.

Wu Chen smiled.

You're kidding me! Are you trying to annoy me on purpose?

Li Ruobing was really angry and couldn't hold back anymore. She wasn't angry about Wu Chen and Wu Yurong, but about Wu Chen not telling her in advance that he was handling important business.

I'll call you back later.

Wu Chen said with a smile.

I'm waiting for your call; I'm angry with you every day.

Li Ruobing hung up after speaking.

Li Ruobing didn't ask any more questions, because Wu Chen's words about "taking care of serious business" made him realize that Wu Chen was up to something big and had used Wu Yurong, not just taking her to Magic City or sightseeing.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Chen glanced at Gu Rui Bo and smiled, saying, "Sorry, let's go."

Uh, it's nothing.

Gu Rui Bo replied incoherently, still reeling from the shock.

The group walked into the Private Dining Room and took their seats, but even after sitting down, Gu Rui Bo was still somewhat dazed, as if he couldn't shake off the feeling.

Although he couldn't hear the voice on the phone, he heard everything Wu Chen said.

Wu Chen not only wasn't afraid of Li Ruobing finding out, but he also dared to let Wu Yurong answer the phone and even jokingly asked Li Ruobing if she was jealous.

When the call ended, it was clear from Wu Chen's words that the two hadn't argued; instead, they agreed to talk again later.

What the heck is going on?

Can Li Ruobing tolerate Wu Chen having other women?

Or rather, even if Li Ruobing minded, she couldn't control Wu Chen and continued dating Wu Chen. Just how amazing is Wu Chen?

Li Ruobing and Wu Yurong, two women. One is extremely strong-willed and intolerant of any flaws, while the other seems to dislike men altogether, as no important figure can win her over.

They are all outstanding, with excellent backgrounds, plenty of money, and top-notch looks.

Li Ruobin treated Ding Ruilong, the head of a powerful family for three generations, as trash, while Wu Yurong understood the psychology of those big shots who had designs on him perfectly. Anyone who dared to offend him would witness his ruthlessness.

And just like that, both women ended up with Wu Chen, and Wu Chen arranged everything perfectly so that there would be no conflict.

How did you do that?

How capable does this man have to be?

Gu Rui Bo couldn't think of any other grand words to describe Wu Chen, so he simply said, "Awesome!"

That's fucking awesome!

Gu Rui Bo even felt that it wouldn't be too much for him to curry favor with such an important person.

Gu Ruibo could never have imagined that his current understanding of Wu Chen was the result of Wu Yurong's active cooperation with Wu Chen.

Li Ruobing's sudden phone call was unexpected. When Wu Chen answered the phone and addressed Ruobing in this way, Wu Yurong understood Wu Chen's meaning.

So when Wu Yurong suddenly spoke up, letting Li Ruobing know that she was next to Wu Chen, it wasn't to provoke Li Ruobing, but actually to let Gu Rui Bo see and hear it.

As a wise woman, Wu Yurong understood that only by making Gu Ruibo feel that Wu Chen was capable enough could Wu Yurong gain the upper hand in the distribution of benefits with Gu Ruibo.

About half an hour after ordering food and drinks, the people from Gu Rui Bo's sect arrived.

Chen Lixing, male, 51 years old, is a tall, thin, bald middle-aged man who currently serves as the CEO of Tongbo Investment Company under Gu Ruibo. He is a professional manager.

Qi Jun, male, 39 years old, wears glasses and appears Bingbing. He is currently the general manager of Ruiyi Fund, which is actually controlled by Gu Rui Bo, and is also a professional manager.

Both of these people are confidants whom Gu Rui Bo can absolutely trust.

Wu Chen trusted them because he had checked in the Reincarnation and knew they wouldn't cause any problems. They served food, ate, drank, and discussed business.

Chen Lixin also brought the documents, which contained all of Ding Runrong's business information, including the number of affiliated companies, their relationships (large and small), shareholdings, and verifiable financial transactions.

Having been Ding Runlong's rival for so many years, Gu Ruibo possesses the most comprehensive information, which is one of the reasons Wu Chen chose him. Although Wu Chen himself knows this, there are too many details he wouldn't investigate in his Reincarnation, but Gu Rui Bo has them all.

The five of them had another detailed discussion at the dinner table and, based on the information, initially formulated some goals to complete the plan before the Ding Family ran into trouble.

The specific situation is very complicated. For example, before the Ding Family's initial establishment, it is necessary to use agents to acquire a portion of the circulating shares of certain Ding Family industrial companies in a decentralized manner, and to secretly contact some small shareholders.

As soon as the Ding Family starts to run into trouble, those who rely on or cooperate with the Ding Family to make money will quickly sell their shares if they don't want to be implicated. They will sever ties with the Ding Family as quickly as possible.

At that time, money was secondary to these people; their lives and property were the most important things.

Therefore, there is a great chance to acquire shares in certain industries at extremely low prices. As long as the number of shares exceeds a certain percentage, one can directly seize control of the company. This is just like robbing money. Dividing the cake is essentially robbing money, and this is just one way. There are many other ways. If something happens to the Ding Family, then there will be many more people who want to share the cake. It just depends on who gets in first and who moves the fastest.

However, for ordinary people to try and get a piece of the Ding Family's cake is suicidal; they would be directly suppressed by other forces.

Even Wu Yurong is somewhat lacking; without any backing, he can at most get a small share of the profits, and it would be difficult for him to seek significant gains. Therefore, Gu Rui Bo is the partner he needs.

Gu Rui Bo has connections, while Wu Yurong has more personal networks and is better at dealing with people.

With the two working together, coupled with the detailed business information about Ding Ruilong that Gu Rui Bo possessed, and the crucial intelligence that Wu Chen could provide, there was no possibility of failure.

After several rounds of drinks, it was already past 9 p. m. When asked about the shareholding ratio in the new company, Wu Chen gently swirled the Red Wine Glass in his glass and said, "Finally, we've come to talk about profit sharing."

Wu Yurong and Gu Ruibo are going to jointly invest in establishing a company, which will act as the parent company and register various subsidiaries with layers of shareholding. Ultimately, it will be a group of little-known small companies that forcibly acquire and price some industries.

In other words, the shareholding ratio of the two individuals in this parent company determines the final profit distribution ratio.

Originally, Wu Chen didn't need to discuss the details with Gu Rui Bo. As for how to operate, how to keep it secret, and how to run the business, there would be various things to do in the next few months. Wu Yurong and Gu Rui Bo would discuss and study the operation in detail. Wu Chen wouldn't be involved. However, he still talked a lot at this dinner table. The reason he's still sitting here is actually to discuss the most important issue: the proportion of etiquette.

Mr. Gu thought...

Wu Chen smiled and looked at Gu Rui Bo, "How should the shareholding be determined?"

When the topic of shares came up, the table fell silent for a moment.

Sitting next to Wu Chen, Wu Yurong's face turned red. He really couldn't hold his liquor. Even though he hadn't drunk much, he already felt a little drunk, and his smile became much more flirtatious.

Wu Yurong held the wine glass, sipped his lips, and glanced at Wu Chen, an indescribable charm lingering in his eyes.

In fact, normally, the division of shares should have been determined by him and Gu Rui Bo through personal discussions and multiple communications.

But if it were him, Wu Yurong would personally talk to Gu Ruibo. Although Wu Yurong could be on equal footing with Gu Ruibo, in this matter alone, Gu Rui Bo would definitely put in more effort. Because when it comes to making money, it would be him, Gu Rui Bo, and the stock price Gu Rui Bo Lei behind him who would bear the pressure from all sides.

Therefore, it was clear to Wuyu that if he were to negotiate with Gu Rui Bo alone, he would only get a small share, while Gu Ruibo would definitely get the Gu Rui Bo's share. He wouldn't even be able to get a 50/50 split.

If Wu Chen were to negotiate, the chances would be about 50/50.

Wu Yurong was very much looking forward to it. As long as he could split the profits 50/50 with Gu Rui Bo and things went smoothly, the money he would eventually receive, although it would only be a small slice of the Ding Family's big cake, would still amount to at least tens of billions of assets. This refers to the assets that he actually controlled and could be directly counted in his personal wealth.

If we also consider the scenario where holding a partial stake allows control of the entire company, the total assets ultimately controlled would be in the tens of billions, which is even comparable to the entire Senlan Apparel Group, which has been operating for decades. This could be achieved in no more than a year if everything goes smoothly.

Wu Yurong was really looking forward to it. His hand holding the wine glass unconsciously traced the inside of the glass with his fingers, and his eyes kept glancing around.

Wu Chen was also glancing at Gu Ruibo, whom Chen Mo was considering, from time to time.

Chen Lixing and Qi Jun were constantly watching Gu Ruibo 'Gu Ruibo expression.

They all knew that their boss, who was only in his early thirties, was a genius businessman. He was a good negotiator, had his own opinions, and could also listen to the opinions of his subordinates.

Today's events were quite sudden for Chen Qi and his companion; such a complicated matter had directly led to discussions about the distribution of profits.

They felt that the boss, Gu Rui Bo, would either stall for time with some excuse to talk later, or he would give them his own expectations. If they kept arguing, it would just become a matter of stalling for time to talk later.

Mr. Wu finally spoke, and Gu Rui Bo, who had been silent, smiled and said, "First of all, we must reserve at least 5% of the profits. We need people, and someone has to get a share of the profits."

That's right.

Wu Chen smiled and nodded.

However, these profits should be distributed through the subsidiaries. The parent company will definitely be held by Ms. Wu and me, just the two of us.

Gu Rui Bo added.

That's nonsense.

Gu Rui Bo clearly hadn't thought it through immediately, and he couldn't remain silent and appear embarrassed, so he spoke first.

So what?

Wu Chen maintained his smile and asked Gu Rui Bo about Soim Company.

Gu Rui Bo paused for a moment before saying 60%. Upon hearing this number, Chen Lixing and Qi Jun both showed expressions of "I knew it."

Wu Yurong's expression changed immediately. If Gu Rui Bo took 60%, then Wu Yurong would take 40%.

According to his own plan, even if he cooperated with Gu Rui Bo alone, he should be able to get 40% of the shares. It couldn't be lower than that, and it couldn't be just over 30% of the shares. In particular, it couldn't be lower than 34%, because if Wu Yurong's shareholding was lower than 34%, it would mean that Gu Rui Bo's shareholding reached or exceeded 67%, which would be more than 2/3 of the shares, giving him complete and absolute control. Wu Yurong would then have no say in the matter.

Therefore, no matter how outrageous Gu Rui Bo is, it's impossible for him to hold less than 34% of the shares. That would show no sincerity whatsoever, and there would be no basis for cooperation at all.

40% is the first integer above 34%, so this is equivalent to a certain limit.

But then Gu Ruibo said that Ms. Wu and Mr. Wu would take 60%, and I would take 40%.

Wu Yurong's expression changed again, somewhat bewildered. 60% was hers, Gu Rui Bo took 40%.

Chen Lixing and Qi Jun, Gu Rui Bo's two subordinates, also changed color at the same time, their expressions showing that something was wrong, and their eyes widened considerably as they saw their boss, Gu Rui Bo, making such a huge concession!

They had no idea why the boss would make such a huge concession; it wasn't just a small amount of money, but an astronomical figure, involving at least several billion in assets.

Even Wu Chen was somewhat surprised; Gu Rui Bo had great courage, he liked it!

In fact, Gu Rui Bo had thought it through clearly. Regarding Ding Jia's matter, the initial investment was low, but the return was extremely high. Logically speaking, if the matter ultimately failed, then the distribution of benefits would not be very meaningful.

But if he succeeds, although Gu Rui Bo will receive less, he will have trained Wu Chen, this extraordinary person.

Wu Chen orchestrated everything. If successful, he will possess extraordinary abilities, capable of turning the world upside down with a flick of his wrist.

Gu Ruibo didn't want to make a quick buck. He thought that if Wu Chen was really that powerful, then if he gave up some benefits this time, Wu Chen would definitely think of taking him along to make money next time he caused trouble.

He just made it very clear, explicitly stating that Ms. Wu and Mr. Wu would receive 60%, not that Ms. Wu would receive 60%.

Although Wu Chen had made it clear in previous conversations that he would not participate in subsequent operations or take any shares, Gu Rui Bo had said it that way, and he believed that Wu Chen and Wu Yurong should both understand what he meant.

The Private Dining Room fell silent for a few seconds.

Boss Guo, you're so straightforward!

Wu Chen spoke with a smile.

Then, Wu Chen stood up, holding his wine glass, and glanced around.

As soon as he stood up, Wu Yurong stood up as well, Gu Rui Bo stood up, and Chen Lixing stood up, all holding wine glasses.

Wishing you all prosperous business, abundant wealth, and a pleasant cooperation!

When saying "It's a pleasure working together," Wu Chen gestured as if he were clinking glasses. Since the table was too big to reach each other, he clinked glasses with the person closest to him.

It's a pleasure working with you, cheers!

Clinking glasses, cheers, all downed in one gulp.

Then, Kyushu entered a lively atmosphere of casual conversation, no longer discussing serious matters, just chatting.

Gu Rui Bo and Wu Yurong are both extremely talkative people, and their topics range from all over the world. As long as the two of them don't want an awkward silence, there will never be one.

It finally ended at 10 p. m., and everyone had drunk quite a bit. Gu Ruibo drank the most, followed by Wu Yurong.

Around 10:10, everyone had come down and arrived at the lobby on the First Floor, and were walking out.

After drinking too much, Gu Rui Bo put his arm around Wu Chen's shoulder and whispered in Wu Chen's ear.

Wu Yurong walked to the side, clearly quite drunk, and was unsteady on her feet. Her female bodyguard Chu Ye, had to support her slightly. Behind her were Chen Lixing, Qi Jun, and several other bodyguards. The large group of people walked out together Mr. Wu, let's talk about tomorrow... uh... I'll make the arrangements.

Gu Rui Bo could barely speak properly. He hadn't drunk this much in a long time. He was truly, truly happy today, experiencing an overwhelming joy that seemed to come from heaven, even while he was sitting at home.

Although he also has to bear the corresponding risks, that's business, there are always risks involved, and Wu Chen is a lucky charm!

Just as everyone was about to leave, Ms. Wu suddenly heard a surprised voice from a middle-aged man not far away.

This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
