Chapter 64: What New Tricks Do You Want to Play Now!
After a period of consultation, those poisoned had basically recovered. The number of people coming and going to the Gu Residence also decreased significantly.
Gu Yu felt greatly relieved, thinking that he would finally not be disturbed by others and could peacefully stay at home guarding his little wife!
However, thinking about the chests of jewelry stored in his spatial dimension, Gu Yu suddenly felt a bit of a headache.
Although the value of these jewels was very high, and they could even be kept at home as heirlooms, for Gu Yu, it was not a good choice.
Because Gu Yu’s spatial dimension contained a large amount of silver taels. If he continued to store them, Gu Yu was worried that his spatial dimension might explode!
Although the statement was a bit exaggerated, Gu Yu felt that he needed to quickly convert these silver taels into cash so that they could realize their maximum value.
After all, this was the capital…
“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what are you doing here? Haven’t those consulting people already left? Why are you still looking so down in the dumps!”
Just as Gu Yu was sitting in the courtyard, contemplating future development, Gu Qingheng’s voice sounded.
When he came over with a string of candied hawthorn and sat down, his big eyes immediately looked at Gu Yu curiously, wondering what had happened again to trouble his brother-in-law.
If it were a simple, small trouble, he, as his younger brother-in-law, could solve it.
It wasn’t that Gu Qingheng was boasting. Through long-term gossip, he could now control the slightest stir in this area, and could create whatever effect he wanted.
Of course, if the matter was too troublesome, he wouldn’t be able to solve it.
“Qingheng, how would you feel if you had a brother-in-law who was the richest man in the capital?”
Unexpectedly, Gu Yu uttered such an unanticipated remark.
The richest man in the capital? What new tricks did his brother-in-law want to play now!
Regarding Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng fell into a daze, somewhat unable to understand Gu Yu’s thoughts.
Could it be…
“Naturally, I’d be happy. But, brother-in-law, why are you suddenly asking this question? Are you planning to make a grand debut in the capital?”
“You know me best, Gu Qingheng!”
As expected, things were not far from Gu Qingheng’s guess. Gu Yu actually wanted to get involved in the businesses in the capital.
However, doing so would encroach on many people’s interests, and he felt it would be very troublesome.
And his brother-in-law, Gu Yu, was someone who feared trouble. If he really encountered such a situation, what would he do!
Perhaps Gu Qingheng’s thoughts were clearly displayed on his face, which caused Gu Yu to raise his hand and tap his head, pulling Gu Qingheng’s thoughts back to reality.
“Don’t worry. Since I’ve made this decision, I’ll naturally have thought of it in advance… Although the wealthy families in the capital have stabilized, you seem to have forgotten something.”
“???”
Afterwards, listening to Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng had many question marks popping up on his head, clearly not fully understanding what Gu Yu was saying.
What had he forgotten?
Nothing!
His brother-in-law was really annoying, always liking to keep him in suspense!!!
“You little fellow really doesn’t like to use your brain. Analyze the current situation carefully. In fact, this is the best time for me to make a move… Don’t forget that the attack we encountered when we left the capital before was not only orchestrated by the ministers but also by some rich fellows in the capital…”
As Gu Yu spoke, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light, resembling a fierce beast ready to devour.
It had been said before that Gu Yu was a petty person.
For those who wanted to harm him, Gu Yu would not let any of them go.
Moreover, he wanted them to experience the taste of suffering.
“Brother-in-law, hearing you say that, I understand a lot! You want to take advantage of the current momentum and directly insert yourself into the many businesses in the capital! Because during this period, not only have the wealthy families in the capital not dared to act rashly, but even the ministers who have just recovered will not dare to impede you in the slightest, otherwise, they might be poisoned by you again.”
“Yes, smart.”
Afterwards, hearing Gu Qingheng’s analysis that was both clear and logical, Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction.
His younger brother-in-law, apart from being a bit lazy, had a truly sharp mind!
Now that he had dealt with all those ministers, Gu Yu no longer thought about returning to Yang Family Village.
With his little wife pregnant, there must be maids to serve her and a comfortable environment to keep the pregnant woman in a good mood at all times.
If they returned to Yang Family Village, those gossipy village women would be a big problem.
Moreover, they had already decided to settle in the capital.
Since Gu Qingheng was to participate in the imperial examination this year, Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu would stay in the capital to accompany Gu Qingheng.
Although Gu Yu usually found his younger brother-in-law annoying, many years of companionship had made him have a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Therefore, since they had decided to stay in the capital, Gu Yu decided to find something for himself to do, so as not to be bored in his room every day and be lectured by his little wife later.
Thus, the idea of becoming the richest man in the capital appeared in Gu Yu’s mind!
However, to achieve this idea, it would require a considerable amount of time and energy… and that would mean he couldn’t be by his little wife’s side.
At least, not at all times.
Therefore, Gu Yu fell into hesitation…
“Brother-in-law, your idea is quite good, but how do you plan to start! And how do you intend to control most of the businesses in the capital?”
“You don’t need to worry about how to start. I already have a detailed plan in my heart. However, I’ve encountered some problems in recruiting personnel, and it will take some time to resolve them.”
After seeing Gu Qingheng nod, Gu Yu also made up his mind.
A man should have a career.
This way, he would have money to buy jewelry and milk powder!
“Son-in-law, the people you instructed me to find have arrived!”
“Mm, let him in.”
Just as Gu Qingheng was looking at Gu Yu with admiration, the servant’s voice suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard.
Hearing this, Gu Yu immediately asked for the person to be let in.
Since he had already decided to become the richest man in the capital, he needed helpers!
“My lord, Gu Ding has not disappointed your expectations. He has already opened dozens of branches for the cosmetics store. Please review the account books for this period, my lord.”
After the servant brought the person in, Gu Yu looked at the young man standing respectfully in front of him and felt very satisfied.
Gu Ding was just an ordinary servant in the Gu Residence before. However, due to his astute judgment, Gu Yu directly sent Gu Ding to manage the stores, and he had already brought in considerable profits.
It was a completely monopolistic business.
Those who wanted to cause trouble were also directly dealt with by Gu Ding, saving Gu Yu the trouble of resolving them.
Such a thoughtful and capable subordinate, if not now, then when!
