Chapter 172: Gu Xuanwu greatly admires Jiang Sui
When Gu Xuanwu saw Jiang Qianhui's business plan, his eyes lit up.
The breakthrough he had been seeking all these years, the breakthrough he had been unable to achieve, unexpectedly found its answer in this plan.
He suddenly felt that everyone in his company was just a bunch of useless people!
I'm filled with envy and jealousy right now!
Gu Xuanwu reluctantly put down the plan in his hand, blinked, and then picked up the small piece of sandalwood again, calming himself down as he spoke.
"Your Zhan Group is truly full of talented people. This project proposal is very satisfactory to me."
"The Zhan Group is a Fortune Global 500 company, so naturally it has a wealth of talent. But I wrote this proposal myself. Nowadays, many women are labeled as being related to their husbands once they get married. But as I just stated, I also represent the Jiang Group."
Gu Xuanwu laughed heartily after hearing Jiang Qianhui's words, as if he was in a very good mood.
The way he looked at Jiang Qianhui was no longer as cold as before; instead, it was like an elder chatting casually.
"The jadeite rough you gave my son at the rough stone auction was quite valuable. Was it then that you decided to cooperate with me?"
"You really can see through anything. Since you want to cooperate, you must first show your sincerity. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
"She has a broad mind and is generous with her money. She is indeed the daughter of a wealthy family."
"Thank you, you flatter me. Your son is quite nice too."
Gu Xuanwu's expression suddenly became somewhat embarrassed.
It's already quite something that his son didn't drive him crazy; he simply refused to take over the group when asked.
With so many subsidiaries and so many industries under the group, he showed absolutely no interest in any of them.
He always loves racing, but he won't take over the company's business. It's driving him so far that he's almost considering having a second child!
However, he recently had a sudden epiphany and said he was willing to come to the company to take over, which made him extremely happy.
Gu Xunjing was very happy to hear Jiang Qianhui praising him at the door. He knew that he was definitely not bad in his Sui Sui's heart!
Jiang Qianhui said that she was just being polite.
“I agree with this plan. Let my son take charge of this project.”
The brat also came to the company to report today, but I wonder if this is just a temporary measure to appease him in case he wants to have a second child.
He might say he lacks something, but his body resists. Whether someone is willing to take on the task or not, he'll force them to do it!
"Gu Xunjing, come in."
Gu Xuanwu let Gu Xunjing in and said sternly, "From now on, you will be in charge of the cooperation with the Jiang Group."
Gu Xuanwu was about to say something threatening to make him do his job properly and take on the project.
But to my surprise, Gu Xunjing was unusually enthusiastic!
"Old man, we're really on the same wavelength! I was just thinking of putting you in charge of this project. You're like a real father to me!"
Gu Xuanwu's face was grim. What was his son up to? He had been worried that his son wouldn't be willing, but now that he was so unenthusiastic, had he suddenly become sensible and turned over a new leaf?
Gu Xunjing hugged Gu Xuanwu and called him "father," which really disgusted Gu Xuanhu.
"You brat, get away from me! If I didn't have a daughter, you wouldn't be able to hold me like that!"
When Gu Xuanwu's wife was pregnant, Guo Xuanwu was hoping for a sweet and lovely daughter, but unexpectedly, she gave birth to a stinky son named Gu Xunjing.
Jiang Qianhui was delighted to secure the collaboration, but she was shocked by the way the father and son interacted.
"Such a good relationship, such a good relationship!" Jiang Qianhui looked slightly embarrassed.
"Sui Sui, I will be in charge of our cooperation from now on. Don't worry, I will do a good job."
Gu Xunjing looked very serious, while Gu Xuanwu asked in confusion, "You two know each other?"
"We're more than just acquaintances; we're destined for each other."
Hearing Gu Xunjing's words, Jiang Qianhui just wanted to cover her forehead.
"Can't you speak properly? Don't say things that can be misunderstood."
After Jiang Qianhui finished speaking, she quickly explained to Gu Xuanwu, "Mr. Gu, please don't misunderstand. Your son and I are just ordinary friends."
"We're just friends now, but who knows what will happen in the future."
Gu Xunjing spoke in a harmless manner, making Jiang Qianhui want to die!
She had a powerful aura just a moment ago, but now she's completely lost it and is just a flustered little girl.
Especially when she received Gu Xuanwu's scrutinizing and questioning gaze, her toes felt so embarrassed that she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment.
"Mr. Gu, by the way, didn't you previously want to hire Ming Yang as your group's brand ambassador? However, the Zhan Group snatched the deal, and it seems you still intend to continue contacting him. If you trust me, I'd like to give you some advice: give up on hiring Ming Yang as the brand ambassador. Because his public image will soon collapse, and all the products he endorses will be affected, resulting in huge losses."
Gu Xuanwu frowned, indeed he planned to increase his stakes and snatch Ming Yang away to be their group's spokesperson. After all, they were the ones who made the initial contact, and it was better for the Zhan Group to take him away than for them to take him away. Otherwise, where would he put his old face?
However, Jiang Qianhui's words now piqued his interest even more.
"Are you saying Yang's public image will collapse? Once a spokesperson's image collapses, the products he endorses become nothing more than a pile of junk. Since you know this person has problems, why did you let the Zhan Group sign a contract with him? Aren't you afraid that the Zhan Group will suffer heavy losses?"
"I am but a humble person and have no influence over the Zhan family's decision. However, you seem to be a very kind and receptive person, so I intend to offer you some advice."
“Especially kind and obedient? Sui Sui, you’ve misjudged him this time. My husband is notoriously stubborn and incorrigible. No one can persuade him. He won’t listen to a single word.”
Gu Xuanwu: "..." Are you being polite?
“Gu Xunjing, how could I not listen to advice? When you were born, you were dark-skinned and ugly, a pitiful sight. I even wanted to throw you away. People said that you would get better with care, and I still raised you to this age.”
Gu Xunjing felt embarrassed upon hearing this, as he couldn't expose Sui Sui's shortcomings.
"Sui Sui, being ugly as a child doesn't prevent me from being handsome now, right?"
Gu Xunjing doted on Jiang Qianhui, treating Gu Xuanwu like family.
It seems he really isn't an outsider! He's his own father.
"Uh...yeah."
Jiang Qianhui finally understood what it meant to be caught in a dilemma; she couldn't possibly speak ill of someone's son in front of their father. After all, she still wanted to cooperate with him.
"Can being handsome put food on the table? Look at your dad, he's been handsome his whole life, is he proud of it? A man's strength is the most important thing. Look at Miss Jiang, although she's a girl, she's far superior to you."
Gu Xuanwu was clearly criticizing Gu Xunjing, but Gu Xunjing proudly said, "Of course! At the jadeite rough stone competition, she snagged a priceless piece of jadeite at an incredible bargain price. Even a mine deemed worthless could be turned around in her hands. Not only is she sharp-eyed, but she's also incredibly intelligent. She even got our two families to team up to develop a new mobile phone, which was sure to dominate the market. With that kind of intelligence, political acumen, and beauty, those are her least remarkable strengths!"
