Chapter 160: The Newly Promoted Chaebol (14)
Office
Shen Yao held the phone in her hand with a smile on her face, "Mr. Zhou, are you free? I'll host you at 7 o'clock on Sunday. Please be sure to come."
A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Hahahahahaha, niece-in-law, this isn't a Hongmen Banquet, is it? Does Jingrun know about it?"
Shen Yao's lips curled up slightly, her eyes were cold and calm, "Of course Jing Run knows, he will come along then.
Second uncle, please be sure to come, Jingrun and I miss you very much."
A friendly voice came from the other end of the line, "Sunday at 7 o'clock for sure."
"..."
dong dong dong -- dong dong dong --
Shen Yao looked up and saw Gu Jingrun standing at the door with his hands in his pockets.
Standing up from her chair, she went over to greet him. Shen Yao didn't expect the other person to come so quickly.
"Boss Shen invited me, so I can't be rude. I also hope that Boss Shen will continue to take care of me in the future."
After Gu Jingrun finished his funny talk in front of Shen Yao, he simply found a sofa and sat down.
Shen Yao put her hands around her waist and raised her eyes, "Boss Gu probably doesn't know that I just sold you out."
Gu Jingrun asked back, "How much is the price? If it's too cheap, it's not worth my worth."
Shen Yao hummed, and raised her hand from her arm to support her chin, "Although it's just a few meals, the other party is worth a lot of money.
Don't worry, Mr. Gu. I know what's going on and I won't let you suffer any loss in vain."
Gu Jingrun nodded and said, "Could it be that we are having this meal with the Zhou family?"
Shen Yao smiled charmingly, "As expected of Mr. Gu, you are really smart."
Gu Jingrun was helpless, and waved his hands on both sides, "I also want to thank Mr. Shen for the compliment, but this meal makes my stomach uncomfortable if I eat it."
After all, what they were discussing was how to reasonably bypass the Gu family. After all, he was the young master of the Gu family. It was too blatant to steal their own girls. He would inevitably be reprimanded when he returned.
Shen Yao walked over to Gu Jingrun and sat down. "Mr. Gu, why don't you just consider it as a sacrifice for me?" There shouldn't be any problem.
Gu Jingrun: ...
Gu Jingrun sighed, "Then Mr. Shen, have you figured out how to repay me?"
Shen Yao put her arms around the other's neck, and her sweet smile needed no explanation.
Originally, he thought that the hero who was tempted by beautiful women was referring to his two elder brothers, but it turned out that he was no less vulnerable.
Gu Jingrun secretly despised himself, but having been appeased, he chose to keep his promise and arrived on time for the dinner with the second-in-command of the Zhou family.
Among the three, mainly Shen Yao and Zhou Minning, they had a very pleasant conversation.
Gu Jingrun will attend as Shen Yao said, but he will only attend as the son of Zhou Minhui and the nephew of Zhou Minxian.
Zhou Minxian: …
"Mr. Shen is cooperating with our Zhou Group, so there is naturally no problem."
How could he refuse a business that came to his doorstep for free? Besides, Zhou had long been envious of Shen Yao's ability to make money.
Previously, Zhou Minxian and his elder brother Zhou Mincheng expressed their admiration for the Gu family’s good luck in finding a daughter-in-law who is so capable. In a few years, their achievements will only get higher.
Now that good news has come from the sky, Zhou Minxian just needs to make sure he can make money.
As for some other calculations behind the scenes, Zhou Minxian would not care.
After dinner, Zhou Minxian left first, leaving Shen Yao and Gu Jingrun to finish the work.
Gu Jingrun looked at Shen Yao who was extremely happy, and felt worried about her boldness.
"If it doesn't work out, you, the future daughter-in-law who is most favored by the elders of the Gu family, will fall out of favor."
Zhou Minxian is Zhou Minhui's second brother and Gu Jingrun's uncle.
Wow, now let’s see who can not admire Shen Yao’s ability to choose allies.
"The Zhou family is also my mother's family. After all, the money didn't go into the pockets of outsiders."
We are all family, why bother about so many things?
Gu Jingrun continued to ask what Shen Yao would do if the Zhou family failed.
Shen Yao said confidently, "There are also the Wei family and the Wei family. At worst, they will just give up some of their profits." Anyway, she was determined not to give the Gu family more to eat.
Gu Jingrun: ...
Gu Jingrun could only accept this, because from Shen Yao's perspective, there was nothing wrong with doing so, but from Gu's perspective, it was a huge problem.
In order to better keep the secret and for the sake of family harmony, Shen Yao naturally comforted Gu Jingrun well, working several times harder than before.
Gu Jingrun: ...We can expect more of this kind of thing in the future.
It’s not that Gu Jingrun himself is a betrayer, but in the Gu’s Medical sector, apart from Gu Mengyan’s influence, there is more influence from Gu Mengqing.
Moreover, the two companies owned by Gu Jingrun, Kangye and Kanglai, are in a normal cooperation stage with Shen Yao, and have no impact on Gu Jingrun.
Even if the family's income is a little lower, it will be my second uncle who will suffer the related losses and be held accountable by the board of directors.
All this being said, Gu Jingrun should thank Shen Yao for what she did.
It can be regarded as a slap in the face to the annoying second uncle through the hand of his uncle's family. Even if it is exposed, there is an excuse to pass the blame.
Isn't it normal for the first and second wives, who have always been at odds over the succession, to set traps and trip each other up? The eldest brother's incident is clear evidence of this.
……
It was another early morning, and Gu Jingrun was living in the apartment. When he got up in the morning, he mentioned Gu Jingxing's upcoming marriage to Shen Yao.
It was already November, and the wedding was only a few days away.
The reason why Gu Jingrun did not live in the old house during this period was because of Gu Jingxing.
What's more, Jiang Peiyi had just given birth to a little daughter and the situation was very bad.
Gu Jingrun didn't want to get involved in these things, so he simply ran out to find Shen Yao to hide away.
"Just show up when the time comes, and it won't be linked to us no matter what happens."
The cooperation between Shen Yao and Zhou has already begun, and naturally encountered some troubles during the process.
Fortunately, the problem was solved smoothly. Neither Gu Mengyan nor Gu Mengqing focused on it, which made Shen Yao feel relieved.
"By the way, I also want to thank my elder brother and cousin Mingyue. Without them, I would be in a lot of trouble."
After Shen Yao finished speaking, she added that she would definitely give each party a generous gift for the next two weddings, as a thank you for helping to distract their attention during this period of time.
Gu Jingrun stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of Shen Yao's nose, "Did you do that on purpose?"
It would be fine if people didn’t know, but if they really knew, they would probably hate Shen Yao to death.
Shen Yao laughed out loud and shook her head in an adorable way, "They are allowed to bully and plot against us, but we are not allowed to find opportunities to fight back?" That doesn't make sense.
Shen Yao would not indulge them. We are all human beings, why do they like to have double standards?
Gu Jingrun loved Shen Yao's smug look and told her to be more low-key. "Don't provoke them too much for now. You will have to live in the old house for a while next year. There is no need to make the relationship between you and them too awkward."
Of course, Gu Jingrun also fully supported and agreed with Shen Yao's counterattack after she was wronged.
If you always tolerate and fail to seek peace, others will think you are easy to bully.
Sometimes, you have to be strong when necessary. Moreover, his status in the Gu family has now been elevated. There are not many opportunities like this to bully others. Why not wait any longer than now?
……
On November 22, Gu Jingxing got married.
Compared with Shen Yao and Gu Jingrun’s engagement party, the wedding seemed a bit shabby.
But he is the eldest son of the Gu family after all, and all the guests he invited to the banquet are big names. It is one of the few places where he can maintain his reputation.
Shen Yao was wearing a light-colored long skirt and her hair was slightly tied up behind her head.
Standing next to him was Gu Jingrun, who was wearing the same suit as the other. The two of them, both handsome and beautiful, attracted a lot of attention.
Once again, I smiled and said goodbye to the director of xx company who came over to say hello.
Shen Yao let out a breath and complained to Gu Jingrun that her feet were a little sore.
Gu Jingrun smiled gently, "Come sit on the sofa? It's still a while before the game starts." They came so early just because it was the host's hospitality etiquette.
Shen Yao blinked and sat on the sofa, finally freeing her sore feet.
"I'm fine, go get busy."
"Okay, I'll be back in a bit. Send someone to see me if you need anything."
Shen Yao sent Gu Jingrun away obediently, and then she staggered the wine glass in her hand, occasionally lowering her head to take a sip, feeling happy and relaxed.
The hall of the old house has been newly decorated, and the precious flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere are all air-shipped from abroad.
Shen Yao hadn't eaten much when she came, and was thinking about getting some pastries to fill her stomach. Unexpectedly, before she even got up, she ran into an acquaintance.
"Miss Liu"
Liu Zhenru, the second daughter of the Liu family. Oh, if I must explain clearly, this person is the other protagonist who pushed Jiang Peiyi down in the mall before.
As for the eldest daughter of the Liu family, Liu Zhenyuan, her wedding with Gu Jingzhe is scheduled for September next year, although the age difference between the two may be a bit surprising.
"Miss Shen"
Liu Zhenru is very beautiful, and looks well-behaved, sweet and graceful.
Unfortunately, he was spoiled by the Liu couple and because he liked Gu Jingxing too much, he had caused countless messes.
Shen Yao had no idea what the beauty was thinking, but she knew people's bad nature.
At this time, the Liu family still dared to bring Liu Zhenru out to attend Gu Jingxing's wedding. Tsk tsk tsk, should we admire the generosity of the Liu couple, or envy Gu Jingxing's luck in love? Jiang Peiyi's marriage was not happy either.
The two of them didn't have much interaction on weekdays, so they nodded and greeted each other before going their separate ways.
But Shen Yao had good eyesight and could see everything that happened in the hall.
Forced to watch another big show, Shen Yao yawned in boredom.
"Mr. Shen"
Ok?
Shen Yao raised her head, revealing her eyes filled with mist.
"It's Miss Qiao, please sit down."
Qiao Xiyue wore a red backless long dress with big black wavy hair draped diagonally on her side.
Nodding slightly reservedly, Qiao Xiyue sat next to Shen Yao.
"Ms. Qiao and second brother are here? I recently watched a new drama starring Miss Qiao, and her acting is still as superb as ever." But there is nothing new about it, it's no different from the previous ones, just a change of makeup and looks like copy and paste.
But so what? With her boyfriend’s support and fans brainwashing her, Qiao Xiyue is still a big star.
"I don't deserve Mr. Shen's praise. I don't have any talent in other areas. I can only act to make a living."
Qiao Xiyue has a clear understanding of her own popularity, but she knows that her ability is nothing to show off in front of the Gu family.
Even though Gu Jingzhi acted like he liked her very much, she still felt insecure.
This time, Qiao Xiyue had to negotiate for a long time in private before Gu Jingzhi finally brought her back to the old house.
He chose to approach Shen Yao actively, and he must have other thoughts in mind.
Shen Yao:……?
Shen Yao tilted her head and looked at Qiao Xiyue who was trying hard to praise her, feeling a little puzzled.
Are you asking me to do something for you? This is totally unlike Qiao Xiyue's style.
You have to know that Qiao Xiyue has had a smooth career since her debut. She has a cold and arrogant personality to the outside world, and she doesn't take others seriously in private.
It's really surprising that such a short time has passed and his temper has become like this.
When Gu Jingrun came back from a distance, Shen Yao and Qiao Xiyue had just finished talking.
The two parties agreed to go shopping and have dinner together when they were free. Shen Yao turned around and met Gu Jingrun's playful eyes.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao really felt wronged, "I didn't take the initiative to plot against others." It was obviously Qiao Xiyue who came to her, so how could she refuse?
Gu Jingrun took a sip of wine from Shen Yao's hand and said, "When I came here, my second brother was having a great conversation with the daughter of the Cao family."
Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, "What a coincidence, Miss Qiao also consulted me about her recent relationship problems."
Gu Jingrun touched Shen Yao's face and said, "You better hurry up. If you're too late, your second brother might do as mom wants and marry a real rich second sister-in-law."
After all, eldest brother’s wedding was terribly shabby, and Gu Jingzhi was not living a happy life in the Gu family. A beauty was just the icing on the cake, and to provide timely assistance still depended on the family’s strength.
Shen Yao smiled gently, "It's time to hurry up. I still prefer being a sister-in-law to Miss Qiao."
Although Qiao Xiyue is more difficult to deal with than Jiang Peiyi, their essence remains the same.
Shen Yao feels that before her wings (company) are strong enough, she has to continue to maintain her image as the daughter-in-law most loved by the elders of the Gu family.
If nothing else, even if there was just less nagging on a daily basis, her ears would be much quieter.
The whole family is so noisy, and Shen Yao is too impatient to deal with it.
The two people hid on the sofa for a short while before they had to go over there when the time came.
Gu Jingxing and Jiang Peiyi, who appeared in wedding attire, looked very happy, but it was a pity that the smiles did not reach their eyes, which made them look rather dull.
Reaching out to straighten her long skirt, Shen Yaoren lamented to Gu Jingrun that the wedding had gone so awry and she had waited in vain before leaving the old house.
Gu Jingrun thought it was funny, "There will be another one in half a month."
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao couldn't help but wail after hearing this, "Isn't this going to happen when we get married?"
Gu Jingrun nodded, "Everyone is the same."
A wedding is not a happy event for the two newlyweds, but just an excuse to discuss business.
For example, at today's wedding, the most Gu Jingxing did was to greet the people who came to the wedding banquet, instead of accompanying Jiang Peiyi who was obviously nervous and needed someone to comfort her with words.
Shen Yao sat in the car, feeling that her sister-in-law's luck was not very good.
The fairy tale of Cinderella marrying the prince only has a perfect ending in fairy tales. In real life, everyone has their own hardships.
"At least she will have no worries about food and drink in the future, provided that she can really see her place clearly."
Gu Jingrun spoke easily, as if he was just having an everyday chat.
"It feels a bit difficult. After all, my sister-in-law doesn't look like she can let it go."
At least some of the things this person does are outrageous, and always give people a sense of disconnection.
I hope that I can make progress in such behaviors that do not match my words with my deeds, otherwise I will be the one who suffers because I have no background to rely on.
