Chapter 328 Understanding
Gu Ci went over and placed his hand on the shoulder of the man called the Great Saint, "Why can’t you change your habit of jumping to conclusions?"
The man known as the Great Saint looked at Gu Ci and said, "So what if I do jump to conclusions? The apocalypse is here, how can you all so easily trust a stranger?"
Cheng Yuan handed the Great Saint a cigarette, "My shares are not much to begin with. If these young people are capable, then the Underground Entertainment City will be better off; if they are not, at most they will be like me, holding some dry shares. If they harbor ulterior motives, wouldn’t your capabilities prevent them from succeeding?"
That was also why Cheng Yuan made the decision directly, as he knew clearly that if the two young people were to harbor ulterior motives, ultimately everything would be taken back by his two partners, so he was not worried.
Gu Ci also said, "If we two let the young people cheat us out of this bit of business, then we don’t fall here, we will have fallen somewhere else."
This was the truth; their close aides, their people, were the key to controlling everything. If they were easily defeated by two young individuals, then there was a fundamental problem with them.
Gu Pan realized from their straightforward conversation that Gu Ci and Cheng Yuan had already considered them their own. Laying everything out like this would only help in future interactions, otherwise mutual suspicions and barriers would make harmony difficult.
Actually, with no laws now, the distribution of these shares was all decided by them. That these people had a spirit of contract was precious, of course, there were risks. If indeed one party thought of plundering without honoring rules, it was very dangerous—that was what the man called the Great Saint was worried about.
However, the risk was mutual; if they wanted to force Gu Pan and the others out, it wouldn’t be difficult. Hence, what followed was mutual adjustments until mutual trust was achieved, a necessary phase.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng did not speak; now it was a matter among these three brothers, they just listened.
