Chapter 1184 Grandpa knows all about Gu Chen's little thoughts

The subordinate agreed and left, and when he came back, he was followed by Gu Jiu.

When Gu Jiu saw his grandfather, he was stunned for a moment and hurried forward.

He smiled and said, "Happy birthday, Grandpa."

Gu Xishan nodded and pointed to the chair in front of him: "Sit down!"

Gu Jiu was a little confused, but still sat opposite him.

The old man looked at him.

After a pause, he whispered, "Of all my grandchildren, I admire you the most because you are steady, know when to advance and when to retreat, and have a good sense of proportion and control."

Gu Jiu looked slightly delighted when he heard this, but he tried hard to suppress it and acted calm and composed.

Then the old man changed the subject and said, "But I can't understand why you made this birthday banquet so grand today. Normally, I tell you to be low-key and not to be too extravagant."

"Although some of our family members are now engaged in business, and money is no longer a big problem, you must know that as long as I sit in this position, you will be constrained."

Gu Jiu's face looked a little ugly when he heard this.

He bit his lip and whispered, "Grandpa, I actually didn't want to do it so big. Originally, as you said, I just wanted to invite people who have a good relationship with me to have a meal together and chat with each other."

"It's just that now the whole city of Yanjing is in fashion with this kind of grand birthday banquet."

"Not long ago, the old man of the family next door to ours celebrated his 66th birthday. He invited almost half of the important people in Yanjing City to come over. Not even a hotel could accommodate them all."

"Weren't we called there as well?"

"You two have different positions. You are one and a half levels higher than him. If you are not as good as him during your birthday party, wouldn't that be a disgrace to your grandmother's house?"

"These days, appearance and clothes are more important than anything else."

The old man slapped the table when he heard this: "Bullshit."

"I think you have had a good life for a few days and you don't know your own weight anymore. No matter how important your face and clothes are, are they more important than your stomach?"

“Even if you are living a good life now, there are still many people in those poor counties who can’t even get enough food to eat.”

"If we save the money from today's birthday party and donate it to poor children, how many children will be able to go to school?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu lowered his head and said nothing.

I couldn't help but blame my younger brother Gu Chen in my heart.

He originally didn't want to be so extravagant, but Gu Chen persuaded him:

"You have to have some dignity to survive in Yanjing. If the birthday banquet is not well organized, people will look down on you."

"Besides, the money for the birthday party was also paid by my father."

Gu Chen's father is not in politics.

He runs a company.

"It's understandable for a son to hold a birthday party for his father."

"It doesn't cost the family money, so why not?"

After being instigated like this, Gu Jiu felt that it should be possible.

But unexpectedly, grandpa got angry. He lowered his head and dared not refute or say a word.

The old man suppressed his breath slightly when he saw this.

He continued, "Even if you held this birthday banquet with such a grand ceremony, I would not have planned to talk to you today."

"But I heard something."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu quickly looked up at his grandfather, his face full of confusion.

The old man said: "I heard that Gu Chen arranged for Anhua Security to be responsible for the on-site security of this hotel."

Gu Jiu nodded.

The old man continued, "I also heard that some people were planning to enter the banquet to cause trouble. These people were arranged by Gu Chen."

Gu Jiu was dumbfounded this time, his face turned pale.

He didn't understand the key point at first, but Gu Chen convinced him by suggesting that he hold a grand birthday party here.

But in the final analysis, it was Gu Chen's father who paid the money.

When choosing security guards, Gu Chen said that neither family acquaintances nor company employees were suitable to be security guards on site. What if someone came to cause trouble?

It would be better to hire someone from a security company. Of course, the money would still be paid by Gu Chen's father.

So by this calculation, Gu Jiu had no reason and no position to object.

As for the relationship between the security company and Gu Chen, or the fact that Gu Chen hired someone to disrupt the banquet, he had no idea.

But now that his grandfather had said it, and thinking about Gu Chen's attitude and actions, he suddenly understood.

This person wanted to use this birthday party to plot against the people of Anhua Security Company, and take the opportunity to find something to completely destroy Anhua Security Company.

As the saying goes: When you are in the world, you will inevitably get hurt.

As long as you survive in the workplace and in the world, you will inevitably encounter opponents.

It's not surprising that Gu Chen and his father encounter rivals in the business world.

But you should never, ever use the old man as bait to attack the other party, and you should not gamble with the reputation of the Gu family.

Gu Jiu took a deep breath and said sadly: "Grandpa, I really don't know these things."

The old man looked up at him and was silent, then said in a low voice: "Gu Chen and his father have chosen the path of doing business."

"I didn't agree with it at first, but I thought that everyone has their own aspirations. It's impossible for everyone in our family to be in politics. Fortunately, you and your father are on a steady path."

"I feel relieved."

"In the future, if one of you is in politics and the other is in business, it would be a good thing if you can complement each other."

"But Gu Chen actually had such a crooked idea. This is something I cannot tolerate."

"I'll leave this matter to you to solve. You can handle it as you see fit."

Gu Jiu nodded, quickly agreed, stood up and went out.

After he left, the old man sat at the table and thought quietly.

After a long time, he asked the secretary beside him: "Is the boss of the security company here?"

The secretary nodded: "Yes."

The old man asked again: "What do you think of the security of this banquet?"

The secretary whispered, "It can be said to be watertight."

"Young Master Sun initially sent a lot of people to try to sneak into the scene, but they all failed. Later, he instigated those kids to cause trouble at the entrance of the hall, hoping to take the opportunity to get his people in."

"However, I don't know whether the female boss of Anhua Security got the news or saw the clues, and responded immediately."

"It took only 20 minutes to build a children's playground."

"Such a mind and method are truly extraordinary."

The old man was silent for a moment and then continued to ask, "How about letting Anhua Security do that?"

The secretary was stunned for a moment, then whispered after pondering for a moment: "Based on Anhua Security's current lineup and financial resources, they should be able to do the job."

"But, with what happened today, the female CEO must have known that someone was tampering with the banquet."

"I guess we can guess that it's Master Gu Chen's grandson."

"If she knew about your relationship with him, she might not dare to accept it even if you asked her to do it."
