Chapter 174: Seeing Him Again
Gu Xuanwu: "You still say you're fine? Your brain's fried. You knew the stock was going to go up and you still gave it to her. Are you just throwing money away?"
"If you want to pursue a girl, you should take some action. Asking questions like 'How are you?' or 'What are you doing?' is just harassment."
Gu Xuanwu suddenly realized that what was said actually made a lot of sense.
But it's too late to say all this now.
"You said you wanted to pursue her, but she's the wife of the president of the Zhan Group. Have you thought it through? But Zhan Yanxun really knows how to choose a wife. You should find one by that standard. It's probably hard to find someone better than Miss Jiang, so let's just say they're about equal."
"Old man, why don't we just look for Sui Sui directly, instead of just looking for her based on Sui Sui's standards?"
Gu Xuanwu frowned, his eyes very serious.
This was a warning sign, but even if it was a warning sign, he didn't care.
He didn't intend to hide it; all he wanted in his life was Sui Sui.
Zhan Yanxun is not good enough for Sui Sui at all.
Gu Xunjing thought his father would scold him, but to his surprise, his father didn't say anything, only patted him on the shoulder. What does "two shorts and one long" mean?
What does this mean? Just then, the assistant came and knocked on the door.
"President, Mingyang's agency has softened their stance. They've offered to increase the endorsement fee by another 10% and are willing to sign with us. What do you think?"
"You don't need to follow up on Mingyang's matter anymore. Choose another spokesperson."
The assistant was dumbfounded. The CEO had given him a firm order: he must sign Mingyang as the company's brand ambassador, no matter what conditions were offered. This was only a 10% increase—why was he refusing?
This shouldn't be the case, given the president's personality.
"President, didn't you value Mingyang highly before? And he is indeed a top idol right now. If we let him endorse our products, it will definitely increase sales. Our colleagues worked very hard to get this opportunity. Wouldn't it be a pity to give it up now?"
"You can't understand what I'm saying, can you? I'm saying I'm giving up and choosing another spokesperson."
"Yes, President."
After the assistant finished speaking, she quickly ran away to select a new spokesperson.
"Who was it that said they didn't believe our Sui Sui could predict the future? Why aren't we using that Ming Yang anymore?"
A killer look from his own father.
"It's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't. I'm not as stubborn as you."
"Without personal attacks."
"Take a good look at yourself. I really don't want to admit it, but you're far behind Zhan Yanxun."
"How am I any worse than him? I'm much better than him. At least I won't cheat on him during our marriage. He cheated on his own secretary, Sui Sui, and when she wanted a divorce, he refused to sign the papers. I really don't know where he got the nerve."
"You're saying Zhan Yanxun cheated on her, and Miss Jiang wants a divorce?"
"Didn't you used to be uninterested in this kind of gossip?"
"Other people's business is gossip, of course. How can your own family's business be considered gossip?"
Gu Xuanwu explained, then suddenly laughed loudly and said sarcastically, "If Zhan Yanxun really cheated on his wife, then it's as if the ancestral graves of the Zhan family were emitting auspicious smoke, but he extinguished it all."
He married such a good wife, yet he couldn't control his lust. Did he think he could keep her in check by refusing to sign the papers?
Miss Jiang mentioned Zhan Yanxun earlier, and although she didn't say anything, the disdain in her eyes was unmistakable.
It seems she really wants a divorce.
If this happens to coincide with the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the ancestors of the Zhan family will surely come up and teach him a lesson.
Gu Xuanwu twirled his small rosewood pendant and said casually, "Think carefully about how you're going to tell your mother."
"What are you saying? My mom will definitely like her."
Gu Xunjing looked confident because he believed that his Sui Sui deserved everyone's love.
……
Several days later
Since returning from the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jiang Qianhui has not gone to the Zhan Group again, nor has she met with Zhan Yanxun. Instead, she has been at the Jiang Group, handling its affairs.
Even if he doesn't divorce her, she won't cooperate like she used to.
She'll definitely find a way to get him to sign the divorce papers!
On this day, she passed by a clothing brand store under the Zhan Group in the mall, which was extremely popular.
The store is filled with life-size billboards of Ming Yang, indicating that many fans are willing to pay for this top idol.
At that moment, she saw Zhan Yanxun and Qiao Weiwei.
"President Zhan, since Mingyang became the brand ambassador for our Zhan's Clothing brand, the turnover of all our directly operated stores has increased by 60%. Orders from all franchised and directly operated stores are increasing every day, and the factory has also added manpower to rush production."
"You did a good job on this."
Jiang Qianhui really wanted to leave, after all, she didn't want to see Zhan Yanxun, but she didn't expect that Qiao Weiwei would see her just as she was about to leave.
She feigned surprise and exclaimed, "President Jiang, weren't you recuperating? Why are you out inspecting the stores? You're so dedicated! But don't worry, the sales of all the stores have increased significantly, all thanks to Mingyang's endorsement."
Qiao Weiwei suddenly said casually, "Last time you said that Mingyang would collapse, so we shouldn't use him as a spokesperson. I was even wavering and wanted to listen to you. Fortunately, President Zhan made a wise decision and insisted on using Mingyang as a spokesperson, which brought about such a great success. Every store is selling like hotcakes. I think you are very happy to see that."
"Congratulations! Your sewing machine must be practically smoking from all that tinkering."
"Yes, the factory has hired a lot more staff. This quarter's profits will increase several times over."
"You are truly his capable assistant. Keep up the good work, you have a bright future ahead of you."
Jiang Qianhui was about to leave after she finished speaking. She had already told him that Mingyang was going to collapse, but he still insisted on using it. Well, they'll just have to wait and see.
"stop!"
Jiang Qianhui had only taken a few steps when she heard Zhan Yanxun's deep, angry voice.
"President Zhan, what's the matter? Aren't you happy that sales are so good?"
Qiao Weiwei said from the side, "President Zhan, President Jiang felt guilty because her wrong decision almost caused the company to miss such a big business opportunity, so she didn't want to face it and left in a hurry."
Zhan Yanxun seemed not to hear Qiao Weiwei's words, but looked at Jiang Qianhui and said, "Where else do you want to go? I know you've been in a bad mood these past few days, so I let you stay at the Jiang family. Judging from your attitude, you really don't plan to come back, do you?"
Qiao Weiwei was almost furious. Why was he still thinking about her? She was actually quite happy that he hadn't gone to see her lately.
But what does it mean that he cares so much now?
"The Jiang family was originally my home. I don't know where else to go?"
Zhan Yanxun stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Qianhui's hand, saying, "Don't forget, we're not divorced yet. How long are you going to keep making a scene?"
