Chapter 850: Chapter 354: Take, Take It All!_3

Of course, Su Huai is also a dad now.

In the future, his entertainment platform might want to reserve a piece for ByteDance too.

After all, the live-streaming styles of the two aren’t conflicting. Douyin is too serious. But look at Douyin Y… *cough cough.*

When the conversation hit its peak, Su Huai declined their dinner invitation, slipped back to school, picked up Gu, and headed to her house to stir up some trouble… and convinced Gu Tongshu to go.

Originally, Du was in a pretty good mood today. After being tied up outside for over a month, he just returned to the Imperial Capital, eager to spend some quality time with his sweet daughter to bond.

It’s been so long since he last saw her — he missed his precious!

Then, right as the family was about to sit down for dinner, a mutt sniffed his way over.

Before Du could put on a sour face about it, Su Huai had already made himself at home, whipped out the slippers, and casually plopped down in Du’s favorite spot.

“Uncle Gu, when did you get back?”

Gu Tongshu’s cheeks twitched non-stop. Seizing the moment while his daughter was upstairs changing clothes, he asked through gritted teeth, “You’re getting pretty comfortable in my house now, aren’t you?”

“Ah, just average.”

Su Huai waved modestly, then landed another jab with a chuckle: “At the very least, I’ve never even stepped foot in your kitchen…”

Such a simple statement inflicted immense emotional damage on Gu Tongshu.

Why?

Whenever those two ancestors were at home, I always had to go into the kitchen to wash their fruit and serve their snacks!

Just when he was about to scold someone, Gu Jiuyue came downstairs, all dressed up. Instantly, the two guys switched faces, putting on a warm, friendly small-talk act.

“Su, how did the meeting at ByteDance go? Zhang Yiming’s quite imaginative, isn’t he?”

“Not bad.”

Su Huai nodded, then suddenly wore a fawning expression: “I even helped you negotiate the terms for investing in their Series E round. All you need to do now is pay and you’re in. Ugh, I’m exhausted doing all this…”

Gu Tongshu was stunned: “What? You can negotiate your own deals, why involve me in investing?”

“Because Gugu likes it!”

Su Huai replied matter-of-factly, turning to Gu Jiuyue: “Right? Douyin is way more fun than Kuaishou, isn’t it?”

Gu Jiuyue didn’t understand the context, but when it comes to her best friend’s words–completely trustworthy!

So, she nodded vigorously: “Yes, yes, Douyin’s super fun.”

Gu Tongshu laughed in exasperation: “So, what exactly are you trying to say?”

Su Huai replied confidently: “So, I thought of buying more ByteDance shares to gift Jiuyue, but I can’t afford it!”

“You’re her dad, though. If you buy it and gift it to her, it’s the same thing. So I racked my brains negotiating with Zhang Yiming and his team all afternoon, finally reaching a tough consensus.

Now all you need is to fork over the cash, and my job is done brilliantly, isn’t it?”

What the heck?!

So I actually owe you a big favor?!

Gu Tongshu didn’t grit his teeth, but his lips trembled uncontrollably.

Each time, Su Huai manages to push the boundaries of his understanding. Day after day, saying things that outright invite a beating–how does he dare?

Su Huai: Sorry, I never talk to other bosses like this…

Just then, Gu Jiuyue curiously asked: “How much does it cost to invest in ByteDance now? Does our company, Tianyi, have enough to invest?”

Our company?!

Gu Tongshu: (+`#’)+(+-+

Su Huai glanced at him, then answered honestly with a shaking head: “20 billion US dollars for a 9% stake. It’s cheaper than our stock swap deal back then, but Tianyi probably can’t afford it.”

“Oh.”

Gu Jiuyue understood, and then turned to sit beside Gu Tongshu, hugging his arm and snuggling up against him.

“Daddy~~~ Invest, pretty please? If you don’t, can you at least give me some money? Pleeeease?”

At that moment, Gu Tongshu’s sense of direction was utterly lost. Puffing out his chest, he glared triumphantly at Su Huai: See that? At the end of the day, she’s MY daughter!

Su Huai shrugged, silently mouthing two words: Childish.

Gu Tongshu ignored him.

“Alright, alright, I’ll give! I’ll give!”

He chuckled foolishly, but just as he was about to completely abandon his principles, he suddenly snapped back to his senses and rephrased: “Actually, let’s have the Gu Clan directly invest instead. Cashing out 20 billion just to transfer to you will make people talk.”

Gu Jiuyue instinctively turned her head to look at Su Huai. Su Huai subtly shook his head.

Gou Dongxi coldly sneered in his heart: You only think about guarding against me, but never bother to guard against others, do you?

The Gu Clan isn’t entirely your Gu Clan, but Tianyi is 100% Jiuyue’s. ByteDance’s 9% stake is incredibly valuable–why should I let your big family profit?

Take it!

Gu Bao, clutch the most valuable things tightly in your hands!
