Gu Xiao and Chu An left the Gu Family Village and returned to the capital.

Although she had seen Ji Yao, other than that first moment when there was a ripple in Gu Xiao’s heart, Gu Xiao completely forgot about Ji Yao and lived her days peacefully.

However, after a few days, Gu Xiao learned from Chu An that something had happened to Ji Chen.

Hearing that something had happened to Ji Chen, Gu Xiao’s heart suddenly tightened. She looked at Chu An worriedly and asked anxiously, “What happened? How much do you know?”

Chu An patted Gu Xiao’s hand. “Don’t worry, the problem isn’t too big. Brother Chen still has the ability to solve it.”

Then, Chu An told her the information he had obtained from Chu Zi.

After Ji Chen left the Ji Group, he returned to Radiant, which he had founded with Yang Hong. Three days after Ji Chen left the Ji Group, his company was targeted by the Ji Group.

Ji Group would secretly give benefits to any company that collaborated with Radiant and ask them to terminate their contract with Radiant. Any company that Radiant was in the process of negotiations with would also be taken over by Ji Group first.

Previously, because of Ji Gao, the reputation of the Ji Group had plummeted. Even some of the partners of the Ji Group were in danger.

However, the Ji Group had resolved the matter well. They also let Ji Gao leave the Ji Group directly so he no longer partic.i.p.ated in the internal affairs of the Ji Group. This made some partners feel a little more at ease.

In addition, on account of Old Master Ji and Old Master Han, many companies were still willing to make things convenient for Old Master Ji and the Ji Group.

Besides… although Radiant was a good company, it was not as well-connected as Ji Group. As Ji Group was willing to give up profits, many companies were more willing to cooperate with Ji Group.

Radiant and Ji Group’s business projects overlapped. Under Ji Group’s pursuit, Radiant appeared to be a little dispirited.

After hearing Chu An’s words, Gu Xiao frowned slightly.

“I remember that although Radiant’s status is not as high as the Ji Group, their status is not too low either. No matter what…”

“Brother Chen’s Radiant is indeed not bad, and the company is developing very quickly. However, within Brother Chen’s company’s business scope, the Ji Group is the leader in the industry. Needless to say, there are some technical skills that only the Ji Group has.”

With the technology in hand, even if they did not want to cooperate with the Ji Group, they had no choice but to cooperate. This was the reason why the Ji Group could become the leader in the industry.

In companies related to computer software and hardware, even the Chu Corporation could only avoid coming into direct confrontation with them.

Although Ji Chen’s company had been investing in research and development, the results were not satisfactory. So far, there were only a few small breakthroughs.

Ji Chen’s trump card was not enough to break the ban on Radiant that the Ji Group had placed.

Hearing this, Gu Xiao lowered her eyes.

In these aspects, even if she wanted to help Ji Chen, she did not know where to start. After all, the scope of operation of Star Brilliance had nothing to do with Radiant.

Chu An looked at Gu Xiao’s dejected expression and sighed in his heart.

“If Brother Chen is willing, the Chu Corporation can help,” he said to Gu Xiao.

Actually, when Mr Chu and Chu Zi had mentioned Ji Chen before, there was even some admiration for Ji Chen in between their words.

However, at that time, the Chu Corporation and the Ji Group did not have a good relationship. In addition, after he completely fell out with the Ji Group because of Gu Xiao, the Chu Corporation also distanced itself from the Ji Group because of him.

After that, when they found out from Gu Xiao that she had a good relationship with Ji Chen, Chu Zi vaguely mentioned to him if he could arrange a time for them to meet.

However, there were too many things to do during that period of time and it was more complicated, so the two of them did not manage to meet. Even at the celebratory banquet in honour of him and Gu Xiao, because of Ji Gao, Chu Zi and Ji Chen did not have the chance to communicate.

Therefore, even if the two of them wanted to see Ji Chen, who could be said to have established Radiant by himself, they had not been able to do so for various reasons.

If he suggested that he hoped the Chu Corporation could help Radiant now, Chu Zi and Mr Chu would definitely agree.

After hearing about Chu Zi’s att.i.tude towards Ji Chen from Chu An, Gu Xiao was still a little puzzled.

After all, she had never heard Mr Chu and Chu Zi’s names from Ji Chen before, and Ji Chen had always acted as if he did not know Mr Chu and Chu Zi at all.

But according to what she was hearing now, Mr Chu and Chu Zi seemed to have a good impression of Ji Chen?
