Chapter 197 The Art of Speaking

After hearing this, Gu Chenxi finally understood why Shen Lijun was so attentive just now.

But there was still one thing Gu Chenxi didn’t understand - he and Shen Lijun didn’t have much in common, so what could he do to him?

Could it be... Gu Chenxi remembered what happened to Gong Liu in the nightclub last night, and thought, "Could it be that Uncle Shen came here for Gong Liu?

I have to say that when Gu Chenxi was not with Gong Liu, he was really smart. He grasped the problem in just a few seconds.

Gu Chenxi looked at Shen Lijun's slightly frowned brows and asked, "Uncle Shen, what's the matter?"

Seeing Gu Chenxi being so understanding, Shen Lijun didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Does your boyfriend know the eldest young master of the Gusu Sun family?"

"Gusu... Young Master Sun?"

Gu Chenxi suddenly heard this name and for a moment he didn't react to who it was.

Shen Xia at the side reminded: "It's Sun Yu."

"Oh, him!"

After being reminded, Gu Chenxi immediately understood who Shen Lijun was talking about.

"Yes, yes, it's Master Sun Yu." Shen Lijun continued, "What is your relationship with him?"

Gu Chenxi and Sun Yu have only met once. In terms of their relationship, they are not familiar with each other at all. However, since he is Gong Yoo's younger brother, he can also be considered as his younger brother.

Gu Chenxi didn't know what Shen Lijun wanted to do, and was afraid of causing trouble for Kong Liu, so she said conservatively: "Sun Yu seems to be my boyfriend's younger brother. I have met him once."

This sentence is very subtle. Gu Chenxi did not say how good his relationship with Sun Yu is. He just gave a vague idea. It seemed like he had answered the question but he did not give a complete answer.

"Oh, that's how it is……"

After this sentence was spoken, it was Shen Lijun's turn to be passive.

If Shen Lijun made any unreasonable demands, Gu Chenxi would say that the relationship between Kong Liu and Sun Yu was just so-so, and she didn't like this playboy very much, so she couldn't help.

If Shen Lijun's request was not too troublesome, Gu Chenxi could say that although she and Sun Yu had only met once, Sun Yu respected her as her sister-in-law very much, and she could help ask.

Therefore, the relationship between Gu Chenxi and Sun Yu depends entirely on the size of the "problem" of Shen Lijun.

It’s no wonder that Gu Chenxi is so cautious. Although she has never done business, she still knows a little about business. She can’t be too sure in a sentence and must leave room for herself.

She is neither Gong Yoo nor Sun Yu, she is just herself. She cannot make decisions for Gong Yoo and Sun Yu. She can only act as a middleman and help Shen Lijun convey messages to the other party. Whether they agree or not is their business.

What if she agreed readily at the beginning, saying that she was very familiar with the other party and guaranteed that there would be no problem, and then Shen Lijun made some difficult requests and Sun Yu was unwilling to accept them, then it would be a slap in her face, and in the end she, Gu Chenxi, would be reduced to being a "neither human nor human". She would not be stupid enough to do such a thing.

In just a few words, Shen Lijun had begun to re-evaluate Gu Chenxi - this little girl was not as simple as he had imagined.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "This matter actually... concerns the survival of our Shen family..."

Shen Lijun told Gu Chenxi that the Shen family had suffered huge losses in the past two years and had been losing money by selling the factory. The Shen family used the money from the sale of the factory and equipment to pay the workers first. Compared with the money owed by the factory, the remaining money was simply a drop in the bucket and was not enough to repay the debt...

After selling his misery, Shen Lijun began to talk about how high-end the imported assembly line machines in the Shen family factory were. If conditions allowed, they could even make military-grade bulletproof vests.

After talking about the equipment, let’s get to the point.

Shen Lijun hesitated for a moment before saying, "The workers in the factory all have elderly parents and young children at home. If the factory doesn't get any orders and doesn't make any money, they won't be able to support their families. Some old employees have worked in the factory for most of their lives. It's obviously not realistic to drive them out now and ask them to do other things..."

"We all know the weight of the Sun family in Gusu. They are engaged in foreign trade original orders, and they supply large quantities of tons. Our small factory is working in three shifts and the machines are smoking, but we definitely can't handle one of their orders. I just hope..."

Shen Lijun's words and implication are nothing more than two points:

1: I am not doing this for the benefit of one person, but for the happy lives of all the workers in the entire factory.

2: I don’t have the courage to eat the cake. I just hope that the boss can give me some cake crumbs, then I will be satisfied.

Smart people say smart words. This is the personal speaking art of Shen Lijun, who has worked hard in society for many years and worked his way up from a small tailor to a big boss.

After hearing what Shen Lijun said, Gu Chenxi really had no way to refuse him. She felt that if she refused, she would become the eternal sinner, harming hundreds of families and making them unemployed and without food to eat during the Chinese New Year.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Chenxi said, "Uncle Shen, I can understand your feelings now. I am a little girl who is still studying...

Shen Xia is my best friend...

I will do my best to help you within my ability. But I don't have the final say on this matter. I can only act as a middleman...

I will definitely help you convey your words to Young Master Sun, as for other matters…"

Gu Chenxi said a lot, but it can be summarized into three points:

1: I am still studying and cannot even interfere in my own family affairs. I don’t have any great abilities.

2: I am willing to help your family because of Shen Xia. For the sake of sisterhood, I will definitely help.

3: I can only do my job. I don’t know what the other party means. Don’t expect me to have the final say, and don’t hold too much hope.

Seeing that Gu Chenxi was willing to help him connect with the Sun family, Shen Lijun was very excited. No matter whether this matter could be accomplished or not, he had to seize the opportunity first.

This kind of thing is like buying a lottery ticket. You may not win the jackpot even if you buy it, but if you don’t buy it, you won’t even have a chance of winning the jackpot.

"Xiao Xi, then uncle would like to thank you in advance."

As Shen Lijun spoke, he took out a bulging red envelope that he had prepared in advance from his pocket - judging from the thickness of the red envelope, the conservative estimate was five or six thousand, and as much as ten thousand.

Shen Lijun stuffed the red envelope into Gu Chenxi's hand and said, "It's New Year's Day, uncle is giving you a big red envelope."

Gu Chenxi immediately refused: "No, no, no, uncle, this is not allowed..."

There is no free pie in the sky. Free things are the most expensive. If Gu Chenxi accepted this red envelope, she would not be able to treat it as just an ordinary message. What's more, Gu Chenxi is not short of this money.

"Yes, yes."

"No, no, no, uncle, don't do this..."

After the two pushed and shoved for a while, the red envelope was finally not delivered by Shen Lijun.

So Shen Lijun transferred 5,000 yuan to his daughter and asked her to take Gu Chenxi out for a good meal in the evening.

Before the two of them left, Shen Lijun pulled his daughter Shen Xia aside and told her, "This little girl is a good friend. You have to get along well with her."

At this moment, Shen Lijun looked at Chenxi with approval in his eyes.

If Gu Chenxi had just received the red envelope, perhaps he would just treat it as a transaction, but Gu Chenxi didn't...

He was sincerely happy that his daughter had found such an excellent friend!
