Chapter 2677 - 2681: Face-to-Face Confrontation

Chapter 2677: Chapter 2681: Face-to-Face Confrontation

If her five-year-old son turned out to be as unusual as those three eight-year-old children, she would really burst into tears.

"Alright, I understand," Gu Junzhu nodded and signaled the children to eat, "Let’s eat first, we can talk after we fill our stomachs."

When it came to business, the atmosphere at the dining table turned somewhat heavy.

But as long as Xiao Shumiao was around, the heavy atmosphere could not last more than a few minutes before becoming cheerful again.

In Xiao Shumiao’s mind, there is nothing in this world that his father cannot handle.

As long as his father steps in, no matter what the matter is, it can be easily resolved.

When Huo Zhongqi entered their home, he was as safe as if he were in a vault.

With his father’s protection, no one could ever harm Huo Zhongqi.

He felt both reassured and particularly proud.

Such a powerful father was his.

His father was like Ultraman, able to defeat all the little monsters and protect the good people.

He felt proud and happy, chattering away while eating.

The Gu Family did not have rules against talking at the table; he could say whatever he liked as long as he was happy.

Anyway, as a little foodie, talking didn’t stop him from eating.

After eating, Ye Xingbei coaxed Xiao Shumiao upstairs for a nap.

Gu Junzhu took Huo Zhongqi out, heading to the Huo Family.

Before leaving, Gu Junzhu contacted Senior Master Huo to let him know in advance that he intended to visit.

Senior Master Huo expressed a warm welcome.

There was some traffic on the way.

It took about an hour before Gu Junzhu and Huo Zhongqi arrived at the Huo Family.

Senior Master Huo warmly greeted them personally.

Seeing Huo Zhongqi and Gu Junzhu together, he was momentarily surprised.

He didn’t hide his surprise, directly asking, "Young Master Gu, why is Qiqi with you?"

"Qiqi is classmates with my son," Gu Junzhu glanced down at Huo Zhongqi, "This afternoon, my son brought Qiqi to our home for a meal. We talked about some things, so I specifically came to visit Chairman Huo."

"I see, please, come in, come in!" Senior Master Huo wore a warm smile, but there was a hint of doubt and uncertainty in his eyes.

The Gu Family and the Huo Family, though both prestigious in Beijing, developed in different fields with no real connection.

Gu Junzhu’s maternal family was in commerce, with wealth comparable to the Huo Family.

However, Gu Junzhu’s maternal family had few descendants. Gu Junzhu’s grandfather only had one daughter, Gu Junzhu’s mother.

After his grandfather passed away, all his assets were inherited by Gu Junzhu’s mother.

Gu Junzhu’s mother was not interested in business, so she left the company to be managed by a professional manager.

It wasn’t until Gu Junzhu retired from the military that he dismissed the manager and took over management.

Gu Junzhu had a unique status, his whereabouts were a mystery, and he was secretive and low-key, never appearing in public.

The Huo Group and the Gu Group had neither cooperative projects nor old connections.

When he received Gu Junzhu’s call and heard that Gu Junzhu wanted to visit, he was utterly confused, not knowing the reason for Gu Junzhu’s visit.

He was already anxious, and seeing Huo Zhongqi with Gu Junzhu made him even more uneasy.

He couldn’t explain why, but he had an inexplicable bad feeling.

After arranging the seating, a servant served tea.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gu Junzhu got to the point: "Chairman Huo, they say there’s no visit to the Three Treasures Hall without cause. I came suddenly today because there’s something I need to discuss with you."

Senior Master Huo was very courteous, "Young Master Gu, please feel free to speak."
