“Chairman Gu, you look even more radiant recently. Look, you’re a man in his forties but you look like you’re only in your early thirties. He’s not like me at all. I’m bald.” Rong Cheng praised Gu Jianguo while mocking himself.

Gu Jianguo held a wine glass. The red liquid in the wine glass made his younger face look even more handsome and elegant.

He looked at Rong Cheng and said with a smile, “Boss Rong, why are you belittling yourself? Don’t you have a big business and many sons? You’ve had to worry a little more because you have more children.”

Rong Cheng had three sons from his marriage and more illegitimate children.

His sons fought to the death for power! Even a three-year-old illegitimate child, under the control of his mother, participated in the power struggle of family!

Fortunately, Rong Cheng was in good health and controlled all the rights of the company, so his sons did not cause the company to be in a mess. Otherwise, it would be a problem for the Rong Corporation.

Rong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, “Chairman Gu, don’t mock me. Who doesn’t know about what happened to my family?”

Some people mocked Gu Jianguo, who did not have a son, and also secretly mocked Rong Cheng, with his many sons.

Of course, Rong Cheng flattered Gu Jianguo on the surface, but behind his back, he mocked and despised Gu Jianguo for not having a son.

He said to someone behind him, “Hehe, Gu Jianguo doesn’t have a son. So what if the Gu Corporation is rich? When the time comes, won’t they still give it to others?!”

Someone immediately echoed him, “President Rong, don’t you have a few boys in your family who are about the same age as the eldest daughter of the Gu family? Why don’t you let your sons try? 1 think with the eldest daughter of the Gu family’s taste, she might really like your boys.”

When Rong Cheng heard this, he said unhappily, “What are you talking about? Can’t my boys compare to poor village boys?”

“No, no, President Rong, that’s not what i meant.” The man immediately explained, “I’m saying that the young masters of your family are much more outstanding than that poor kid in the mountains. If Miss Gu can take a fancy to that poor kid, the young masters of your family will naturally have it easy!”

Ever since Gu Qingming broke up with Lin Haotian, her two-year relationship with Lin Haotian, as well as falling out with Lin Haotian and getting pregnant with a child with an unknown father, had actually been talked about by the upper-class society. The fact that Gu Qingming ran to her hometown with a pregnant belly was even more laughable.

The Gu Corporation was like a big pie in Sea City. Everyone wanted a piece of it.

Naturally, Gu Qingming was the best way for them to obtain the Gu Corporation.

Of course, they tried to probe the Gu family in the name of a marriage alliance, but it was obvious that they were sternly rejected.

Their Gu family’s marriage was up to them.

Rong Cheng said regretfully, “i want my sons to try. It’s a pity that Gu Qingming is pregnant with a bastard and ran to the countryside. Although Gu Qingming is pregnant with a bastard child, after the child is born, she will leave an heir for the Gu family. In the future, the Gu family’s assets will have to be inherited by legitimate children!”

“Yes, President Rong, you’re right. Although Eldest Miss Gu’s family has some money, it’s a shame for a girl to lose her chastity before marrying into any family. Usually, families that value reputation are definitely unwilling to let Gu Qingming enter the family. However, the Rong you is different. The Rong family is tolerant and magnanimous. It’s already good enough that they can accept Gu Qingming. It’s definitely impossible for you to accept that bastard. Coincidentally, that bastard will stay in the Gu family to be raised.”

Unexpectedly, Rong Cheng shook his head and said, “That won’t do. If we leave the bastard child in the Gu family, how can the Rong family still have a share of the Gu family’s assets? Then all the Gu family’s assets would be inherited by the bastard child. Since Gu Jianguo can nurture an heir, he can nurture a second heir of the Gu family.”

Gu Jianguo knew of these schemes very well.

Everyone stared at the Gu Corporation like it was a fat piece of meat.

Gu Jianguo looked at the corners of their mouths and sneered in his heart.

His daughter had already misjudged a man. Would she misjudge another man?

Besides, his granddaughter was not a bastard with an unknown father. Her biological father’s identity would probably scare a large group of people to death.

Of course, Gu Jianguo felt that he had to keep a low profile.

Rong Cheng secretly mocked Gu Jianguo for not having a son and even had designs on his daughter. In that case, their relationship would not get any better.

Now that this banquet had come knocking on his door, he could not be blamed for being impolite.

Gu Jianguo smiled and said, “President Rong, actually, you already have so many sons. Why do you have to work so hard on the company’s matters? How good would it be to leave the company’s matters to your sons to manage? In the future, you can bring beauties around to play. With money and beauties accompanying you, your life will be so carefree. You will definitely become youthful again.”

Rong Cheng’s expression instantly changed, as if he had eaten feces.

Before Rong Cheng could answer, Gu Jianguo continued, “You’re not like me. 1 only have one daughter and she’s still worrisome. Therefore, i can only worry about such a big company for the time being.”

Rong Cheng gritted his teeth and said, “Chairman Gu, with your daughter’s judgment, aren’t you afraid that the Gu Corporation will be handed over to someone else in the future?”

Gu Jianguo said calmly, “If that day really comes in the future, I’m willing.”

Rong Cheng and the surrounding guests were speechless.

Rong Cheng smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, Chairman Gu, why are you expanding the Gu Corporation now? Aren’t you letting others benefit? Don’t regret it in the future!”

Gu Jianguo said indifferently, “I won’t regret it! I’m worried about you. Boss Rong, don’t let others benefit from it!” He was implying that Boss Rong had been cuckolded and had even raised someone else’s child.

The business owners and elites present listened to Gu Jianguo and Rong Cheng exchange blows at the banquet like they were watching a show.

To others, they could not afford to offend either the Gu or Rong Corporation.

On the other side, three or four leaders of the Business Association were gathered in a private room in the business hotel, looking shocked.

“Are security guards below not mistaken? Is it really Mo Junyan from the Mo Corporation who personally came to our banquet?” The president of the association, Shang Chenghao, asked seriously.

Vice President Shi Xiaojun nodded and said, “The security has repeatedly confirmed that it’s indeed the President of the Mo Corporation, Mo Junyan himself!”

Shang Chenghao was a little puzzled. “We sent an invitation to Shen Yizhi, the general manager of the Mo Corporation’s branch company. Why would Mo Junyan attend such a banquet?”

To the people in the business world, Mo Junyan was an important figure.

That was an emperor-level figure in the business world.

His participation in the Sea City Business Association’s cocktail party was like an emperor personally attending a county magistrate’s birthday celebration. It was earth-shattering.

As such, when the president, vice president, and secretary-general received the news, they were shocked.

He had to confirm it again and again before personally welcoming the arrival of the big shot!
