Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online-Chapter 101: The Little Ground Beetle becomes a Little Tycoon_1
Hua Hua was the first person he wanted to earn money from.
However, he was blessed by good fortune. In fact, he was a secret child of the Gu Family. Only when Elder Master Gu’s illness could no longer be endured, was he brought back to the family home to inherit the vast Gu enterprise.
Truth be told, Elder Master Gu’s ideal heir was not him. Elder Master Gu’s illness dragged on for a few years and he had plenty of offspring, but he didn’t declare his successor. The potential heirs fiercely competed for the position, often resorting to physical harm, such that in the end there was a lot of casualties. All his uncles ended up either dead or injured and thus, incapable of inheriting the great Gu business. Elder Master Gu had to look for another heir, even among his illegitimate children, and eventually found Gu Shaocheng, who was living abroad.
The Gu family was known to have deep connections within the criminal underworld and the government-circles, dabbling in all kinds of money-making businesses and holding great influence due to their extensive network. They were powerful and prosperous.
At seventeen, Gu Shaocheng had gone from a small-town boy to a small-town tycoon.
The old Gu family mansion was entirely moved from China to Canada and had a history of over a hundred years. It is still grand and magnificent, impressive and elegant. The Gu family had been quite prominent since the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The wife of the then Gu was a princess from the royal Manchu court, known for her love of garden architecture. Old Master Gu indulged his wife and built gardens that rivalled the Summer Palace.
On Gu Shaocheng’s first day in the Gu household, Elder Master Gu, coughing, grabbed his hand and said, "I can give you everything here, but you have to have the ability to handle it."
No doubt, Gu Shaocheng impressed Elder Master Gu. The seventeen-year-old outwitted him with his cunning and ruthlessness. In his first six months with the Gu family, he lay low, waiting for the right opportunity. When his injured uncles and aunts finally recognized him as a threat, he had already seized control of the Gu fortunes, changing the status quo and firmly holding everything in his palms.
However, his young age was a disadvantage. As a result, he always put on a mature appearance, slowly developing his current composed and ruthless personality.
His sworn brothers also greatly contributed to him taking over the Gu fortunes.
Bai Wuqing was someone he first met by chance in the Yale University campus, whose poise and steadiness he could never match. This deadly attraction compelled him to swear brotherhood with Bai Wuqing. One can say that his success today is largely due to their journey together, one an intellectual and the other a warrior, perfectly complimenting each other. Many of their opponents fell prey to their combined intellect.
Nan Baihao was the only child of a major arms dealer in South America. When his parents died and his uncles revealed their hidden ambitions, Gu Shaocheng saved Nan Baihao from a car explosion and since then, he has followed Gu Shaocheng. Nan Baihao was his most accomplished vanguard force.
Yan Fengchi was special, being a bona fide government-trained special forces soldier. It took a lot of effort from Gu Shaocheng to establish a close relationship with him. If not for an accident in which Gu Shaocheng saved his life, Yan Fengchi would still be an active officer in the Vancouver military, living mostly in the military zone. Gu Shaocheng simply provided him with a residence in his villa complex where Yan Fengchi could stay during his vacation.
