Chapter 140: Gu Yizhou: Xiaobai, Dad is right, isn’t he?

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Gu Yizhou: Xiaobai, Dad is right, isn’t he?

Gu Yizhou was silent for a moment.

Then he looked up at Chen Dongyuan and said calmly, "So, Old Chen, how do you want to split it?"

"An eighty-twenty split, of course!"

Chen Dongyuan said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Eighty-twenty..."

Gu Yizhou’s brow furrowed even deeper.

But in the next second, he heard Chen Dongyuan continue, "Old Gu, you get eighty, and I get twenty!"

"..."

Gu Yizhou shot him a speechless look.

’You sly dog!’

’That’s so you!’

But there was no way Gu Yizhou would agree to this kind of split!

After all, back when Gu Yizhou wasn’t putting in any money, Chen Dongyuan had offered to give him half the shares without a second thought.

’One should know how to repay kindness!’

Gu Yizhou could tell who was genuinely good to him.

"Old Chen, you..."

But he was cut off by Chen Dongyuan as soon as he started speaking.

"Nope!"

"Old Gu, I know what you’re going to say, but on this, I can’t listen to you!"

"We’re brothers, but business is business!"

"You’re putting in two million, and I’m only putting in five hundred thousand. Taking twenty percent is already generous for me!"

Chen Dongyuan said with a serious expression.

But the more he acted like this, the more determined Gu Yizhou was to give him more.

"You damn dog!"

"Earlier, when I wasn’t putting in a single penny, weren’t you going to give me half the shares? And now you’re telling me ’business is business’?"

Gu Yizhou scolded him with a humorless laugh.

"Er..."

Chen Dongyuan was left speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Alright, that’s final. I’ll invest two million in the company, and we’ll split the shares fifty-fifty. You’ll be in charge of management and operations, and I’ll just keep being a wage slave!"

Gu Yizhou said, making the final decision.

"Old Gu, no, that really won’t work. My conscience won’t allow it!"

Chen Dongyuan shook his head. "How about this: a seventy-thirty split. I get thirty, you get seventy. Otherwise, I can’t accept it, and you shouldn’t invest in me. I’ll just keep things small-scale, like before!"

"And I’ll do it by myself, without you!"

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but freeze.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This damn dog was resorting to pulling the rug out from under him!

The two of them just stared at each other, eye to eye, for a long while.

In the end, it was Gu Yizhou who compromised.

"Fine, we’ll do it your way. A seventy-thirty split it is!"

Gu Yizhou said irritably, "Just don’t you dare regret this decision later. When you come crying to me, don’t even think about getting any more shares!"

"Never!"

"Regret? I’ll never regret this, not in this lifetime!"

Chen Dongyuan declared confidently, thumping his chest.

Gu Yizhou couldn’t be bothered to say anything more.

’At worst, I’ll just have to find some other excuse to give him more shares later on!’

’Sigh.’

’What can I do? He’s my brother.’

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but purse her lips. Gu Yizhou and Chen Dongyuan were already arguing over giving away shares when the company wasn’t even a remote possibility yet.

Still, she was actually quite envious of their friendship.

She had a good bestie in Roy, but if she were to offer Roy shares, that girl would probably accept them without batting an eye.

’Can’t be helped!’

’Who wouldn’t want shares in Tidal Group when they’re so valuable?’

Shaking her head, Yan Luoxi didn’t dwell on it.

She was afraid that if she thought about it any more, it would genuinely affect her sisterly bond with Roy...

Having settled the share distribution, Chen Dongyuan was in high spirits. Even though Gu Yizhou couldn’t quit his job to work with him, he was investing now. In a way, they were working together, since the company would be co-owned by both of them.

CLICK.

INHALE...

EXHALE...

Chen Dongyuan lit a cigarette with great satisfaction. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he said, "Hey, Old Gu, be honest with me. Where did you get so much money? I remember your family shouldn’t have that kind of cash to give you. Are you planning to borrow it...?"

"Oh, it’s my own money. Don’t worry, you can use it."

Gu Yizhou said casually, making it sound like nothing.

"Huh?"

Chen Dongyuan raised an eyebrow. "Where would you get so much money on your own?"

He looked him up and down suspiciously. "I heard the president of your company is a woman. Don’t tell me you’re really being kept by some sugar mama?"

"Oh, right!"

"You’re being kept by your president, so that’s the real reason you don’t want to quit?"

Gu Yizhou: "..."

Yan Luoxi: "..."

"Get lost!"

"You’re the one who’s being kept!"

Gu Yizhou retorted irritably, his expression dark, "That money is what I earned. I borrowed some cash to play the stock market a while back, got lucky and it multiplied several times over."

Chen Dongyuan: "..."

"Fuck!"

"Multiplied several times over?"

"What pile of dog shit did you step in?! How did you get so lucky?"

Chen Dongyuan said, his face a mask of envy, jealousy, and hate.

He didn’t doubt the truth of Gu Yizhou’s words.

Because he knew Gu Yizhou. If he said it seriously, then it was true.

"I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I found Xiaobai, and she brought me good luck."

Gu Yizhou said in a calm tone, stroking the little white cat on his lap.

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’She wouldn’t dare take credit for that!’

’Not only did she lack that kind of power, she had even ridden Gu Yizhou’s coattails to make hundreds of millions herself!’

"Tsk~"

Watching Gu Yizhou dote on the cat, Chen Dongyuan said with a hint of sourness, "You, my friend, are on the fast track to becoming a cat slave!"

That’s right!

Earlier, at Gu Yizhou’s house, he had seen the cat and wanted to pet it, but he hadn’t managed to touch a single whisker.

When he had approached Yan Luoxi, she had swiped a paw at his face, almost drawing blood.

He had been completely dumbfounded at the time!

’What the hell? It looks so pure and white, so cute and cuddly, but it’s actually this fierce???’

He still had a few red marks on his face from it!

"Cat slave?"

Gu Yizhou glanced at him. "No, you’re wrong. I’m her father!"

He then looked down, continuing to pet Xiaobai as he asked, "Xiaobai, Daddy’s right, isn’t he?"

At that moment, Yan Luoxi really wanted to refute him and swipe a paw at this damn man.

"Meow~"

But the damn man’s petting was just too comfortable. A pleasant, tingling sensation spread through her body, and she didn’t want to move at all. She could only let out a small whimper of protest.

But that little sound, no matter how you heard it, sounded like she was acting cute!

This scene left Chen Dongyuan, who was watching from the side, completely stunned!

’FUCK!!!’

’I’m done being human!’

’Why?!’

’Why is it that when I tried to touch her a moment ago, I got a face full of claws, but when it’s Gu Yizhou, she’s acting all cute?!?’

’In this world where looks are everything, do even animals know that Gu Yizhou is just a tiny bit more handsome than me (or so Chen Dongyuan thought)?’
