Gao Ming sat on the chair and an apologetic expression appeared on his face. “Logically speaking, I should be here with something now. You’ve experienced such a big thing, but I even took the initiative to come and ask for a favor. No matter what, my choice is lacking.”

“It’s okay, Uncle Gao. You don’t have to take these things to heart. Although it’s true that as long as I’m not careful about the bomb, it’s enough to take my life, but aren’t I already safe and sound?”

Shan Yue waved her hand indifferently. Her exceptionally calm performance shocked Gao Ming, who was in front of her. “The business world is like a battlefield. As businessmen, we should all understand this logic. If I don’t even have this bit of mental fortitude and fall with a single strike like a paper tiger, how can I become one of the three leading companies in the Federation City in a short period of time?”

“President Shan is right. Indeed, the new generation surpasses the old. Previously, Zhou Xuan from the Zhou Corporation appeared out of nowhere and stabilized the title of the number one corporation in the Federation. Later, President Shan stood out and gradually became a rising star in the Federation City.”

Gao Ming praised Shan Yue as much as possible, hoping to leave a good impression on her and pave the way for his true goal.

“I’m afraid there’s no other person who can put his life behind him like you. You’re so young and already have such a mind. Other than President Zhou back then, who could compete with you, there’s no one else.”

Gao Ming said in a fawning tone, “The outside world always rely on others to get to where they are. I think those people are talking nonsense. If they really know you, they definitely won’t say such things.”

“Uncle Gao, you don’t have to praise me like this. There’s a thousand versions of me in a thousand people. In life, you just have to live happily. There’s no need to care so much about what others think.”

Shan Yue flipped over two teacups and poured water for Gao Ming. “If you have anything to say, just say it. There’s no need to be so polite. We know a lot of things, so there’s no need to beat around the bush.”

“Since President Shan has said so, I won’t hide it anymore. I’ll get straight to the point. Actually, my main purpose for coming today is to apologize to you for my son’s actions a few days ago.”

Gao Ming took the cup from her and stuck his head forward slightly. “I knew about Gao Hua’s actions long ago and taught him a lesson at that time. But who would have thought that this child would not listen to advice and make such a huge mistake, causing President Shan inconvenience?”

“It’s okay. Uncle Gao, didn’t you say that you had already warned him beforehand, so these things have nothing to do with you at all? There’s no need for you to apologize for him and pay for his actions.”

Shan Yue acted extremely naturally and casually placed the tea leaves beside her into the cup. “Besides, Gao Hua is an adult. He has already reached the point where he has to be responsible for his actions. He’s not a child who has to live under the protection of his parents.”

“It’s the father’s fault for not teaching his son. No matter what, I’m definitely responsible for what he did, so 1 must apologize to you on his behalf.”

Gao Ming’s attitude was very sincere, not at all high up in the air. “Yesterday, I used my connections to bring Gao Hua back from the Public Security Bureau. I’ve already taught him a lesson. He’s already deeply realized his mistake.” “Then why didn’t you let Gao Hua come personally today?” Shan Yue asked.

“I’ve locked Gao Hua in the house to reflect. I have to teach him a lesson. No one can let him out without my orders, let alone him.”

Although Gao Ming said that he locked his son at home to punish him, it was actually the opposite. Letting Gao Hua stay at home was to protect him better. Moreover, Gao Hua already hated Shan Yue very much, so it was even more impossible for him to let the two of them meet.

At that time, if Gao Hua said anything disrespectful, the future of the Gao Corporation would really be hopeless.

“I hope Uncle Gao’s intention is really as you said. He can make Gao Hua turn over a new leaf and not do anything wrong again.”

Although Shan Yue said that, she naturally wouldn’t believe Gao Ming’s words. “I’m just afraid that you’re lying to yourself and deceiving yourself in the end..”
