Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 161: The Newly Promoted Chaebol (15)
On December 15th, just twenty days after Gu Jingxing's wedding, his cousin Gu Mingyue from the next room married out of the old house and entered into an alliance with the Cao family.
The Cao family is not the top one in Ying, but on paper their strength can be ranked in the upper-middle range.
Moreover, the Cao family started out in the electronics business, and had some competition with the Gu family.
Gu Mingyue's marriage not only increased the cooperation opportunities between Gu and Cao, but also greatly increased the status of Gu Mengqing's family in the old house.
Of course, when Gu Jingzhe marries the eldest daughter of the Liu family next year, the strength on paper will be even stronger.
"But these are just appearances. No one knows whether the marriage between chaebols is good or bad."
Because people are a combination of contradictions, sometimes their behavior is unpredictable.
They thought that the relatives were helping each other, but in reality they were stabbing each other in the back and fighting to the death.
Such things have happened in the chaebol circle. After all, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. When she is useful, she becomes a family member, but when she is useless, no one even looks at her.
Do you think marriage is reliable? After all, it is a combination of two surnames, and it involves interests. Who dares to guarantee what will happen?
"No matter whether the future is good or bad, right now, my second uncle's family is indeed in high spirits."
Gu Jingrun raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then smiled as he looked at the people who were greeting the guests.
Although the protagonist today is the married Gu Mingyue, the real core is still Gu Mengqing and his son Gu Jingzhe.
Even the eldest daughter of the Liu family, Liu Zhenyuan, was there, standing next to Gu Jingzhe. The two of them occasionally looked at each other, showing their love and sweetness.
"My second uncle and his family have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Shen Yao spoke in a playful tone, thinking that Gu Mengqing had always been suppressed by Gu Mengyan, and the younger generation of children had also been outshined by Gu Jingxing and the others.
Now Gu Jingxing and Gu Jingzhi have gone crazy one after another. Gu Jingmu is still young and cannot handle the situation for the time being. Although Gu Jingrun has shown some improvement, he cannot handle the situation alone.
The eldest son's house in this state surprised Gu Mengqing to a certain extent.
That's exactly the truth.
If someone who has been oppressed for a long time finally has the chance to hold his head high one day, what would be the first thing he would do?
Settlement!
“I should settle this family account with my eldest brother and the others.
No matter it was the old man giving up his position to my eldest brother, or our son having been in Gu's for many years but only seeing success today.
My parents are so partial to me. My eldest brother and I are only five years older than each other, but I am always lagging behind, and I can never catch up with him.
They drank a lot of wine on the wedding day, and Gu Mengqing seemed a little drunk.
Gu Mengqing casually tugged at his collar, then sat on the sofa, his eyes briefly glancing at Qin Kelan who was lying unconscious on the bed. Suddenly, he even lost some desire to speak.
He married Qin Kelan because he valued the benefits that the Qin family could bring to him.
He had no feelings for Qin Kelan at all, and even felt disgusted with their daily interactions.
Qin Kelan behaves rudely and has no sense of propriety, but fortunately she is obedient and easy to control.
If most of the Qin family's assets were not in his hands, and Jingzhe and Mingyue were not the two good children, Gu Mengqing would have wanted to kick Qin Kelan out long ago.
Getting up from the sofa, Gu Mengqing picked up the phone with a cold expression and turned to walk out.
The door closed with a dull sound, which also 'woken up' the person on the bed.
Qin Kelan slowly sat up by holding onto the bed, and there was no trace of the drunken look on her face.
Gu Mengqing doesn't like Qin Kelan, and Qin Kelan doesn't like Gu Mengqing either.
The essence of political marriage is to coexist with interests.
The Qin family was not weak back then, and Qin Kelan was the only daughter of the Qin family.
Unfortunately, the older generation of the Qin family did not have a very good vision, and those cousins were unable to stand out.
After Qin Kelan married into the Gu family, she rarely had contact with the Qin family's business.
By the time Gu Jingzhe and Gu Mingyue were born, the Qin family was already on the decline.
As for why most of the Qin family's assets are in Gu Mengqing's hands, it was also because Qin Kelan had no choice but to do so when she saw that the situation was hopeless and she was powerless to reverse the situation.
Qin Kelan was hoping that when Gu Jingzhe grew up, she would legitimately inherit the Qin family's business.
"Mom, this is unrealistic. We can't pry open what Dad is holding in his hand for now.
What's more, my dad's illegitimate son is older than me, and my dad has already sent him to the company.
Not only the Qin family's assets, but also the Gu family's assets that Dad holds now, I may not be able to get all of them."
Qin Kelan held the phone, and Gu Jingzhe's slightly distorted voice came from the other end of the line.
"Even if we don't get all of it, the Qin family's assets must not be given to outsiders."
That was hers, and was the private property of the two siblings, Gu Jingzhe and Gu Mingyue.
"Mom, how do you want to deal with the matter of the illegitimate child? We can't delay it any longer."
Gu Jingzhe's voice sounded a little irritated, and even though someone was trying to persuade him, he couldn't stop his anger.
Qin Kelan said in a cold voice, "What are you afraid of? It's been more than 20 years ago. Can your father still let him return to his roots? He's not an old man."
Gu Bingcheng had so many illegitimate children, but in the end, only Gu Mengbai was recognized as one of them.
Even so, the old lady was still able to force Gu Mengbai to exile abroad for more than ten years.
Gu Mengqing is the old lady’s biological son. When the time comes, she only needs to go to the old lady and cry, and she can delay it for a while.
"The old lady hates these illegitimate children the most, even if your father is her biological son."
Why did the old man give the position of head of the family to Gu Mengyan instead of Gu Mengqing? Did he really think that Gu Mengyan's ability was completely overwhelming? It was because Gu Mengqing couldn't control his lower body. The matter was exposed to the old man and the old lady, making them feel too embarrassed.
Don’t think that private life has no impact at all. When your abilities are strong enough, these are indeed small matters. But when the abilities are not much different and there is still room for debate, these small matters can also have a big impact.
Qin Kelan's words made Gu Jingzhe on the other end of the phone slowly calm down.
Gu Jingzhe realized belatedly that he had overreacted and his tone was a little annoyed.
Qin Kelan: ...
Qin Kelan closed her eyes and silently thought to herself that this was her biological son, she only had one son, and if he was ruined there would be no one else available.
Suppressing her anger, Qin Kelan asked Gu Jingzhe to work hard in the company.
“You don’t need to think too much about the illegitimate child. Once this matter is exposed, Mom will deal with it.
By the way, you hired someone to follow your dad. Are you sure they are reliable? Don’t bring trouble upon yourself.”
After Qin Kelan finished speaking, she heard Gu Jingzhe on the other end of the phone say that the people who were following her were Liu's elite paparazzi, and there was no way Gu Mengqing would be able to find out.
"You and Zhenyuan are going to start a family together in the future. Don't follow your father's example and make this kind of mistake."
Qin Kelan warned Gu Jingzhe that she didn't mind her son having an illegitimate child, but she was worried that it would cause trouble.
Gu Jingzhe promised that he would not do such a thing. Besides, that's what the Liu family does. If he dared to mess around, Liu Zhenyuan would come to him with the photos the next day.
It is not Gu Jingzhe's style to become enemies before their interests are combined.
The mother and son didn't talk much. After hanging up the phone, Qin Kelan rubbed her face, washed up and went to bed.
As for Gu Mengqing who left home, who cares which happy place he goes to.
……
Shen Yao and Gu Jingrun's wedding is scheduled for May. Although the time is a bit tight, the Gu family attaches great importance to it and has arranged some wedding decorations in advance.
Shen Yao is not very picky about this aspect, after all, she is busy expanding her business empire.
No matter how big or small the city is, in her eyes it is a treasure land where gold coins can be dropped.
Besides, Shen Yao never thought that urban niches are unsuitable for development.
On the contrary, because the commercial scale of niche cities has not yet developed, it is a good time to seize the opportunity to invest and build.
Whether it is cheap labor or cheap land, it is far more reasonable than choosing in some developed cities.
And she can also use the original ecology to build her own corporate culture.
After all, we are in the beauty business. People dare to operate on their faces, but naively hope that it is safe and harmless.
What can Shen Yao do? The customer is God, so naturally we have to satisfy God.
Under the high-tech appearance, there is a thick layer of pure natural packaging, and everyone believes in it anyway.
"Mr. Shen, this is the financial report for last quarter," the growth is encouraging compared to the same time last year.
The person who made the report looked very happy because it not only meant that the company was developing well, but also meant that they could get a high bonus.
If you want a donkey to pull a mill, you have to hang a carrot in front of it.
Shen Yao nodded with satisfaction and told him to go directly to the finance department, saying that she had already made all the arrangements.
'We only gave out one percent of the profit, but gained double the efficiency.'
If this is the kind of money-making business that will happen in the future, it’s exciting just to think about it.
The system reminded Shen Yao to keep a low profile and be careful not to get into trouble due to excessive joy.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao felt that the system's words were really a bummer, but she was happy now and didn't mind at all.
"It's OK to do it once or twice, but not three times. System, don't rely on our good relationship to do it again and again."
system:……
The system just shut up cowardly. It didn't dare to do that because it still expected the host to complete the task for it.
Shen Yao closed the financial report that was delivered to her, then stood up and walked to the window to look into the distance.
The streets below were busy with traffic and huge posters were hung high.
Qiao Xiyue, wearing a pink dress and with a beautiful face, was holding the first product released by Perfect Company in her hand and smiling confidently.
Shen Yao raised her eyebrows upon seeing this, thinking that Qiao Xiyue had been living a good life recently.
However, I can’t hide my body anymore.
Tsk, no wonder. If you want to marry into a chaebol, you only need to use a few tricks.
The phone in her pocket rang. It was Gu Jingrun coming to pick her up for dinner.
Shen Yao smiled and told the time to go downstairs, then turned around, put on her coat and left.
When I passed by the office, I heard someone breaking the news that a famous star was admitted to the hospital.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's our company's spokesperson who said she's pregnant."
"Well, it won't really work, will it? It's like flying to the top like a phoenix, a real tycoon."
"Shh, stop talking, boss boss"
"..."
Shen Yao's appearance made everyone panic, but more importantly, the fire of gossip had been ignited and could not be extinguished.
Ding--
Shen Yao took the elevator directly downstairs, smiling and nodding all the way to the company door.
I saw Gu Jingrun sitting on the sofa reading a magazine that was placed there casually.
Hearing the footsteps, Gu Jingrun looked up and said, "Mr. Shen is really a busy man."
Shen Yao smiled and waved her hand, "Not as busy as President Gu.
I heard you're going on a business trip again? Let me remind you, Mr. Gu, the wedding is less than a month away."
Gu Jingrun: ...
Gu Jingrun put his hand to his lips and smiled, "Mr. Shen, are you reluctant to let me go? I would like to invite Mr. Shen to go on business with me."
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao glared at Gu Jingrun and said, "Stop messing around." She unconsciously put her arm around his and the two of them walked towards the door.
The car was parked in a parking space nearby. It was a new model that Gu Jingrun had recently fallen in love with, and it was also the best-selling car of Gu’s company.
"Boss Gu is really hard-working. He personally promotes the products. He is a very qualified CEO."
The teasing words came out of his mouth. Shen Yao and Gu Jingrun have been together for so many years that some habits have long been rubbed into each other.
Gu Jingrun sighed helplessly, "Although my family is big and powerful, I still have to make money to support my family."
As for the president personally selling the goods, this was also a trick he learned from Shen Yao.
After all, she was the one who set the precedent. She even hyped up the engagement party. She was worthy of being the woman he liked and admired.
"When I just left, people in the company were talking about Miss Qiao being photographed at the hospital. My second brother should have known the news."
Shen Yao turned her head to admire Gu Jingrun, and at the same time wanted to see if this man would change his expression.
"Same trick, do you think Second Brother will agree?"
Gu Jingzhi didn't have a very good time in Gu's company in the past six months, only slightly better than Gu Jingxing.
"Yes, after all, she is the woman I like." People are emotional.
Gu Jingzhi and Qiao Xiyue have been entangled for so long, they really don’t want to go to the last step, the two of them wouldn’t have been deadlocked until now.
As for giving Qiao Xiyue the opportunity to use some tricks, it was also under the premise that Gu Jingzhi did not explicitly refuse.
Otherwise, even if Qiao Xiyue had a hundred tricks up her sleeve, Gu Jingzhi would have no choice but to accept the challenge, as it was not something that could be accomplished by one person alone.
But if you put it this way, Gu Jingrun's two elder brothers are exactly the same, both failed because of their children.
With a meaningful sigh, Shen Yao maliciously reminded Gu Jingrun to be careful.
Gu Jingrun: ...
Gu Jingrun said seriously, "I am not them, and you are not them either."
The two of them would never do such a thing. From the very beginning they got along, they had the same goal.
In other words, they are in no mood to pay attention to anything else until they achieve their final goal.
"Mr. Gu, this is too boring," Shen Yao leaned her head against the car seat with a pretty expression.
Gu Jingrun raised his eyebrows, "Listen to some music, we're about to go to your favorite restaurant."
Shen Yao hummed twice when she heard that, then turned on the music in the car and closed her eyes to rest.
The two people here are living a peaceful and tender life, while the atmosphere on the other side is stiff and tense.
There was nothing Qiao Xiyue could do. She was not young anymore and would eventually be replaced by younger stars in the entertainment industry.
All she can do is grab someone she can rely on before she is replaced, so that she can have a place to live in the second half of her life.
Gu Jingzhi was not originally within Qiao Xiyue's consideration.
The Gu family is too big and too powerful. Qiao Xiyue knows her own weight. She is greedy but also afraid.
However, Gu Jingzhi's indulgence and entanglement with her for many years still made Qiao Xiyue fall into it.
Now Qiao Xiyue wants to give it a try even at the cost of her reputation and image in the entertainment industry, and she might even be thinking of taking a gamble.
Unfortunately, Gu Jingzhi is not Gu Jingxing. His simple words made Qiao Xiyue break down immediately.
