Chapter 507: 479: Chen Tian Energy Plant Arc (Ending 2)

The medical glory of Vienna had not completely dissipated yet, and after Gu Yu handled the matters of the energy factory handed over by Chen Tian in Kuwait, he boarded the flight back home. When the plane landed at Pudong International Airport, Modu was basking in the bright sunshine of early summer afternoon.

Gu Yu didn’t go directly to the company, nor did he head home first; instead, he directed the taxi to a quiet private clubhouse in the suburbs.

Chen Tian had been waiting there for some time, sitting at the front of a window-side tea table, with a set of antique purple clay tea ware in front of him. In the curling aroma of tea, the old man’s back seemed thinner than a few months ago, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Uncle Chen."

Gu Yu walked over and sat down opposite him.

"You’re back? Good, good!"

Chen Tian looked him up and down, his face showing a relieved smile, pouring a cup of tea and pushing it over, "I’ve heard about the matter with the Surgery Association. You did great, didn’t let us down."

"It’s Mr. Dai’s good teaching, and luck as well."

Gu Yu took the teacup and sipped it. The light tea fragrance relaxed him, "On your end... is everything going smoothly?"

Chen Tian didn’t immediately answer but looked out towards the swaying bamboo shadows in the courtyard outside the window. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, with a sense of dust settling in his voice: "Yu, do you still remember what I said to you back then? At Yuebin Building, when Weitu, Lance, and I were sitting together."

"I said I might not make it to see the day when the energy factory officially starts operating."

Gu Yu nodded; he certainly remembered.

At that time, Chen Tian’s health was not in good shape, and his tone revealed a sense of powerlessness against time.

And his response at the time was—"Rest assured, with me around you’re guaranteed to see it."

"See, I was right," Gu Yu smiled, his tone firm.

Chen Tian turned his head, and his eyes shone with a complex light—with emotion, release, and a certain ease of having fulfilled a long-cherished wish: "Yes, you were right. I made it."

He leaned slightly forward, lowering his voice, yet couldn’t hide the excitement: "From Prince Weitu’s side, there’s confirmed news. Lance’s promise to help him secure the crown prince position—it’s happened!"

"His second brother lost the inheritance qualification for some reason, and Weitu has been officially appointed as the crown prince."

Gu Yu’s spirits rose.

He knew well what this meant.

Back then, when Chen Tian and Lance brought Weitu into the fold, what they valued was never just his billion-dollar investment but the political protection that his identity as the ’Dubai Prince’ could offer.

With the status of crown prince and even future chieftain’s protection, opening an energy factory in the turbulent Gulf Region, the problem of local armed forces’ harassment would be easily solved.

The factory would transform from a piece of fat requiring heavy guarding into a legitimate asset recognized and protected by local authorities.

"Congratulations, Uncle Chen!"

Gu Yu said sincerely, "This way, the safety and legality of the factory are guaranteed."

"Yes,"

Chen Tian exhaled deeply, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, "We’ve passed the toughest gate of early-stage preparations: site selection, preliminary design, and the framework agreement with the local government are all steadily advancing. Although there’s still a long way until it truly starts production, with many hard technical and managerial problems to tackle, at least the path can be walked, and the end can be seen."

He paused, his gaze falling on Gu Yu’s face, becoming particularly gentle: "In this, you have a share of credit."

Gu Yu was stunned: "Me? Uncle Chen, you think too highly of me. Such a major national strategic project, where could I intervene. I’m just someone studying medicine and dabbling in games."

"No, I don’t mean the factory itself." Chen Tian shook his head, "I’m talking about the matter you promised to handle in Kuwait. The small factory under Xue Wang—was the handover smooth?"

Gu Yu replied seriously, "I was just about to report to you. Though there were some minor bumps in the process, the mission was accomplished without disgrace. Xue Wang had some concerns initially, after all that factory had been managed under his hands for years, with emotional ties and various local relations involved."

"But I presented all the authorization documents you gave me and conveyed your future plan of integrating the small factory into the larger Gulf factory to play a greater role. He eventually understood and cooperated in completing all legal and accounting handover procedures."

"The related documents and asset statements have been sent back to your designated legal team through encrypted channels."

Chen Tian listened attentively, nodding repeatedly: "Good, well done. Xue Wang is a talent and an old friend; sometimes he’s just stubborn. You managed to convince him, very good. Although that small factory doesn’t produce much, its position is crucial, and the procedures are complete; it’s an important piece in our future big factory layout."

"You’ve helped clear this obstacle for me, saving me a lot of worries and speeding up the overall progress."

He patted Gu Yu’s shoulder, "That is merit. By handling these specific, tedious but crucial front-end tasks, you’ve allowed me to focus more on the core strategy; that is a tangible support."

A warm wave surged in Gu Yu’s heart.

"Oh, yes,"

Chen Tian seemed to suddenly remember something, replaced the seriousness on his face with a smile of expectation, "Did you have something major you haven’t told me yet when you rushed out of the country? Hasn’t Xinyue got any good news from her side..."

Gu Yu’s face immediately broke into an unmistakable smile of happiness, with a hint of shyness and excitement: "I was just about to tell you. Xinyue... she’s pregnant, almost three months now. And,"

He took a deep breath, his voice full of incredible joy, "it was found to be twins."

"Twins?!"

Chen Tian was taken aback at first, then burst into hearty laughter, so loud that even distant waiters glanced over, "Good! Good! Good! Twofold joy, no, threefold joy! You, my boy, you’ve done well!"

He rubbed his hands with happiness, "This is a great joy! It must be properly celebrated! Once the children are born, I must become their god-grandfather!"

"That goes without saying."

Gu Yu laughed, and then remembering the concerns about Chen Tian’s health earlier, he asked with concern, "Uncle Chen, how have you been feeling lately? With the energy factory moving forward, don’t overwork yourself too much, delegate to professional teams when needed."

Chen Tian waved his hand, and indeed his complexion seemed more rosy than before: "Don’t worry, I’m aware. Now that the biggest stone in my heart has landed, I’m actually relaxed. Doctors say my indicators have stabilized quite a bit recently. To see your twins call me grandpa with my own eyes, I have to take good care of these old bones."

The two chatted a bit more, Chen Tian inquired in detail about Gu Yu’s experiences in Vienna, and Gu Yu casually mentioned the current situation of "Ideal Paradise."

Chen Tian listened intently, and in the end, he said with emotion: "Watching you young folks step by step realizing your dreams and creating your own world, I’m happier in my heart than earning any amount of money."

"Yu, you remember, whether it’s being a doctor saving people or making games, both paths are right, both are commendable."

"In the future, if this energy factory really succeeds and stably provides resources back home, it will mean paving a bit of the road for you, and for more young people like you, creating a slightly better environment."

The tea fragrance gradually faded, and the afterglow of the sunset filtered through the window grilles, coating the tea room in a warm golden hue.

As he left the clubhouse, Chen Tian sent him to the door, and lastly, firmly shook his hand: "Hurry back to accompany Xinyue. Anything regarding the wedding that requires Uncle Chen’s help, just speak up. When you’re done with your busy period, we’ll gather again."

Sitting in the car, Gu Yu glanced back; Chen Tian still stood at the door, smiling and waving at him.

In the sunset, the old man’s figure was upright and clear.

Gu Yu knew that his promise to Chen Tian had already reached perfect fulfillment at this moment.

The car headed towards home, where his beloved awaited, as well as the new life about to arrive.

And behind, a senior’s new career blueprint was about to unfold.

Personal little happiness and grand national sentiments seemed to be lightly threaded together by an invisible line at this moment, each complete and reflecting one another.
