After severing ties, the cold-blooded family regretted it

Chapter 46: Bribery fails!

"Mr. Zhang, don't be nervous. I'm sure you know the reason why I asked you out today. It's about Gu Chi." Lu Ziming simply went straight to the point and made his purpose clear.

"I know Gu Chi is the son of your family. If you want me to persuade him, I don't have that much charm." Zhang Chen always thought that the Lu family was his role model, but ever since Gu Chi revealed those certificates and agreements.

Zhang Chen suddenly felt that his faith collapsed in an instant.

"The reason why Gu Chi was able to endorse your company for free was just to spite us. Besides, his popularity will soon fade away."

"Although your company has seized a portion of the market share, you also know that once the popularity is over, your company will still not be able to sustain itself."

"I don't believe your company will always have help from noble people. To put it bluntly, you are just struggling to survive now."

Lu Ziming's analysis made a lot of sense. Even if the crisis was over now, the money Fairy earned was not enough to support the company to continue.

So now Zhang Chen is even considering letting Gu Chi take over the management of the company, but he is facing academic problems, so he is a little hesitant.

Seeing that Zhang Chen didn't say anything, Lu Ziming raised the corner of his mouth with pride.

"However, you are also lucky. Gu Chi helped you and raised your market value." Lu Ziming said to himself without noticing that Zhang Chen's face opposite him had already turned gloomy.

"What do you mean by telling me all this?" Zhang Chen twisted the teacup gently with his fingers, glancing at the opposite side inadvertently.

"It's meaningless. Instead of letting your company be acquired by others, you might as well give it to us. The price we offer will be your best option." Lu Ziming threw a few contracts on the table casually.

Zhang Chen didn't even glance at it.

This is a typical example of this: if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem.

Since he couldn't get rid of Gu Chi, he might as well acquire Zhang Chen's company. This way he wouldn't have to worry about taking over the Lu family's market share.

"If it was a week ago, I might have considered it, but I'm sorry, I can't keep you company now!" Upon hearing the other party's answer, Lu Ziming's face changed instantly.

He was originally full of confidence, but now he has an expression of disbelief on his face.

"What? Zhang Chen, do you understand what this means? Once Gu Chi's popularity as the top scholar wears off, how long do you think your company can last?"

"Even if you have taken a portion of our market share now, it is still a pipe dream to reach the size of our Lu Corporation."

"While I can still give you a good price, you'd better act early, otherwise no one will be willing to clean up the mess in the end." Lu Ziming said with certainty, as if he had him in his hands.

"I'm sorry, but whether anyone is willing to clean up this mess is my business and has nothing to do with you." Then he slowly stood up and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Lu Ziming was left sitting there, looking at the exquisite dishes in front of him. He became furious and with a wave of his long arm, he swept all the plates to the ground.

There was a crackling sound, but the service staff waiting outside looked at each other and didn't dare to go in.

After all, no one wants to offend such a big customer. Not to mention breaking all the bottles and jars, even if their store is set on fire, they can afford the compensation.

As for Gu Chi, he dragged his tired body back home.

From a distance, I saw two people standing under the elm tree at the door. The cold moonlight shone on them, and from the outline I could tell that one of them was Lu Meng.

The other Gu Chi was a stranger. But no matter who it was, he didn't want to pay any attention to it.

He turned around and went to open the door.

"Gu Chi!" Lu Meng's voice came from behind, causing Gu Chi to stop.

She turned her head impatiently, and now she could see clearly the girl standing next to Lu Meng, Lu Liu, the third daughter of the Lu family.

She is even more beautiful in person than in the photos and videos.

The Lu family would often have video calls with her, and even if Gu Chi was standing by, he had no say.

Compared to other people, Gu Chi did not have much aversion to Lu Liu, just as he did not like her that much before.

"Gu Chi, I'm your third sister Lu Liu, nice to meet you!" Looking at the hand extended to him, Gu Chi hesitated for a moment, but finally shook it.

"Hello, Gu Chi!" A brief introduction. Even if he didn't dislike her, Gu Chi didn't want to have too much interaction with her.

After all, waiting here so late is nothing more than persuading him to go back or withdraw those malnutrition certificates.

But Lu Liu didn't want to let him go, and followed Gu Chi into the yard.

"Sorry, I need to rest, please leave!" Gu Chi turned around and drove them away in the calmest tone.

"Gu Chi, I haven't provoked you, right? You can't transfer your hatred to me?" Lu Liu put his hands in his pockets and spoke in a light tone, but he was accusing Gu Chi of his dissatisfaction.

"Okay." Gu Chi simply turned around and ignored her, walking towards the house on his own.

This was also the first time that Lu Meng was able to enter Gu Chi’s room. The decoration inside was a bit simple, and there was even an old radio on the table.

All the furniture was so retro that Lu Meng wondered if time had gone back.

Compared to Lu Meng's shock, Lu Liu was like a curious baby, looking around the room.

"Your room is great. I didn't expect that our tastes are so similar. We both like retro things like this." Lu Liu bent over and approached the old tape recorder on the table.

"What exactly do you want to see me for? Don't waste my precious rest time." Gu Chi didn't believe that these two people just came to see him.

"Haha, don't be so heartless. We are both your sisters after all." Lu Liu looked at the apples on the table, picked one up and took a big bite, "Mm, so sweet."

He did not forget to comment while eating. If it was like the other people in the Lu family, Gu Chi would definitely chase them away. But now, facing such a rogue behavior of Lu Liu, Gu Chi was helpless.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Gu Chi crossed his arms across his chest and leaned against the desk.

"Actually, it's still about something on the Internet. If we continue to fight like this, both sides will suffer. You've grown up now, and we don't want you to be taken advantage of." Lu Meng frowned slightly.

He still looked as if he could appeal to people's emotions and explain things to them with reason.

If you don’t know, you might think Gu Chi is a lost lamb.
