After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Chapter 227 Don’t give up until you achieve your goal

The moonlight poured down into the garden like water, as if covering the flowers and plants with a veil. Su Li held Gu Jinyan's arm and walked among the crowd, always with a gentle and decent smile on her face.

The atmosphere became more harmonious in the second half of the dinner. Su Li attracted many people's attention with her excellent conversation and elegant manners. She had a pleasant conversation with several entrepreneurs from different fields, from art collection to technological development, showing her broad knowledge and unique insights.

Gu Jinyan stood aside, watching his wife handle various occasions with ease, his eyes full of admiration. He knew that Su Li was not only his wife, but also an indispensable partner in his career.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see." A slightly greasy voice came, and competitor B held a wine glass with a hypocritical smile on his face, "Mrs. Gu is really radiant tonight."

Gu Jinyan protected Su Li behind him calmly, and said in a light tone: "Thank you for the compliment. Mr. Zhang is here tonight too."

Competitor B looked back and forth between the two, with a hint of sinisterness in his eyes. He knew that tonight's charity dinner was of great significance to the Gu family, and Su Li's appearance added a lot of bargaining chips to the Gu family.

"I heard that Mr. Gu recently won a big project. That's really cause for celebration." Competitor B said with a wry smile, with a hint of sourness in his tone.

"Just lucky." Gu Jinyan responded indifferently, not wanting to get entangled with him too much.

Competitor B was frustrated and felt even more unhappy, but he pretended to be calm and chatted with other guests.

The banquet was coming to an end and the guests were leaving one after another. When Su Li and Gu Jinyan were about to leave, the hotel manager hurried over with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, there is something..." The hotel manager lowered his voice and hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter?" Gu Jinyan asked.

The hotel manager took a deep breath and said, "It's like this..." The hotel manager took a deep breath and said, "It's like this. Just before the dinner started, Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang from Shengshi Group, came to me privately and wanted me to reveal some inside information about tonight's dinner, such as... such as the guest list and seating arrangement. But I refused him. Our hotel has always attached great importance to customer privacy, and this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed."

The hotel manager carefully observed Gu Jinyan's expression, fearing that he would be angry because of this matter. After hearing this, Gu Jinyan just smiled faintly and patted the manager on the shoulder, "You did a good job. I know about this matter."

Su Li, who was standing by, frowned slightly when she heard this, and her contempt for competitor B became even stronger. Such a person who would do anything for the sake of profit was really despicable.

After seeing off the hotel manager, Gu Jinyan and Su Li were about to leave when a VIP A called them over. "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, please stay."

This VIP A is the chairman of a well-known domestic company and is highly respected in the industry. He was very satisfied with the performance of Su Li and Gu Jinyan tonight, especially Su Li's graceful conversation and unique insights into business, which left a deep impression on him.

"Mr. Gu, I have always admired the strength of your company. My conversation with Mrs. Gu tonight has given me confidence in the future development of your company." VIP A said, turning his eyes to Su Li, "Mrs. Gu, you are an excellent woman. I believe that with your help, the Gu Group will definitely reach a higher level."

"Thank you for your praise." Su Li responded gracefully, "Jin Yan and I will work hard together to live up to your expectations."

VIP A nodded with satisfaction, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Gu Jinyan, "This is my personal contact information. I hope we can have deeper cooperation in the future."

Gu Jinyan took the business card and showed a sincere smile on his face, "Of course, of course."

After watching VIP A leave, Su Li and Gu Jinyan smiled at each other. Tonight's charity dinner was very fruitful for them. Just as they were about to leave the banquet hall, a lady of etiquette walked quickly to Su Li and whispered, "Mrs. Gu, I have something to tell you..."

Seeing that she looked flustered, Su Li motioned for Gu Jinyan to wait for a moment, and then followed the etiquette lady to the side.

"Mrs. Gu, I just saw..." The etiquette lady lowered her voice with a hint of uneasiness in her tone, "I saw one of Mr. Zhang's men secretly taking pictures of the dinner scene, and... and he seemed to be paying special attention to you and Mr. Gu."

Su Li's heart trembled, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She asked calmly, "Are you sure?"

The etiquette lady nodded and said affirmatively, "I'm sure. I saw it with my own eyes. He also secretly made a phone call, as if he was reporting the situation to someone."

Su Li took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. She knew that the business world was like a battlefield, and intrigues and deceptions often occurred. It seemed that this charity dinner was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and competitor B obviously had other intentions.

She returned to Gu Jinyan calmly and told him what had just happened. After hearing this, Gu Jinyan frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He gently held Su Li's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

"Well, I believe you." Su Lihui held Gu Jinyan's hand and felt much more at ease.

The couple exchanged a glance, and everything was said without words. They decided to remain vigilant, keep a close eye on the movements of competitor B, and strengthen the company's security measures just in case.

After leaving the banquet hall, Gu Jinyan immediately arranged for bodyguards to strengthen the protection of Su Li, and ordered his assistant to thoroughly investigate the matter and make sure to find out the real purpose of competitor B. Although Su Li felt a little uneasy, she did not show it, but pretended to be calm and continued to handle the company's affairs.

It was late at night, Su Li and Gu Jinyan stood side by side in front of the French window, overlooking the night view of the city. The bright lights adorned the entire city like daytime, but behind the prosperity, there were countless undercurrents.

"What do you think about this incident?" Su Li broke the silence and asked.

Gu Jinyan gently stroked Su Li's hair and said in a deep voice: "It seems that our competitor will not give up until he achieves his goal..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jinyan's phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and his face instantly became solemn.

"What did you say?!"
