Spring Breeze No. 1 (034) Victory in Hand

  An Tong came again, making Old Master Gu feel very displeased. This was the third or fourth time, and it seemed suspiciously like he was trying to force his way in.

  So, he invited him to sit down and said coldly: "Brother An won't still be talking about convening a shareholders' meeting, will you? I've thought it over, there's no need, why waste everyone's precious time and resources."

  An Tong smiled and said: "Brother Gu Shi, don't be so angry first. I really came to you for your own good. Some things I have thought deeply about, and I think if I don't clarify the relationship with Brother Gu Shi, it would be my fault."

  Mr. Gu stared at him with a serious face; "What exactly do you want to say?"

  An Tong glanced around and saw servants occasionally passing through the living room.

  "This matter concerns Mr. Gu's dignity; shall we take a step forward and speak?"

  Mr. Gu asked him to go to the study upstairs.

  Until the door panel creaked open, An Tong opened the door and said straightforwardly: "Brother Gu Shi, don't blame me for speaking directly, Shallow Cong shouldn't be Sister-in-law and Brother Gu's biological daughter, right?"

  Old Gu was taken aback and his complexion changed; "Where did you hear these things?"

  "Never mind where I heard it from, but I know this is the truth. There's no wall that doesn't leak wind, and I think Brother Gu understands this principle. Not only do I know these things, but I also know that Brother Gu has more than just a fatherly affection for Shallow Cong. It's understandable, after all - Shallow Cong is a beautiful young woman who has been lovely since she was a child. Any man would be smitten with her, and I don't think Brother Gu did anything out of line. I'm just offering some well-meaning advice: if you have feelings for her like that, then it's not good to let her marry into the Ji family. Not only is Shallow Cong not close to you now, but from what I know, she also rejects you. Young girls these days are very willful - if she really marries into the Ji family and doesn't take a liking to you, she might turn around and join forces with the Ji family against you. Do you think Brother Gu can handle the power of the Ji family? Even if Shallow Cong still has some gratitude for your care, what if the young master of the Ji family finds out about you and her? The men of the Ji family are all strong-willed - I think he definitely won't let it go, whether or not he really likes Shallow Cong. Now that even I know about this, how can Ji Jiangying possibly never hear any rumors for the rest of his life? So, letting Shallow Cong marry into the Gu family would be a move with no benefits and all harm - Brother Gu should think carefully about it."

  Mr. Gu was somewhat flustered, leaning there with one hand pressing on the table, exerting great force, his fingertips were pale, and he could still see a slight tremble. He was afraid of the Ji family, but even more afraid of Ji Jiangying. These young people nowadays are really something else, their methods are strong and ruthless, even more so than these old men who don't care about anything.

  At first, when no one advised him to do so, he thought day and night whether it was right or wrong. Gu Shangning indeed had hatred towards him, previously she didn't even bother to look at him straight in the eye, now she didn't even put him in her eyes. The estrangement and coldness in her eyes made him feel a chill every time he saw her.

  An Tong's words were like a blow to his vital point.

  After a while, he pondered and said: "According to Brother Yi An Shi's meaning, what should I do?"

  He saw that An Tong's intention was wavering, and he smiled slightly: "Transfer some of the shares in your hands to me, and let me become the largest shareholder of Huayu." Seeing that he was not pleased, he turned around and said again: "If Brother Gu doesn't want to, I won't force him. You know that I am the second-largest shareholder of Huayu, and the difference between us is just a little bit. Even if you don't transfer it to me, I can still get it from other shareholders. My intention is not malicious, and in the future, I will still let you be the executive director of Huayu. I just want to marry Zi Xi off to Ji Jiangying. That girl has been infatuated with Ji Jiangying since she was young, and as a parent, I just want my child to be happy and get what she wants. As for other ambitious thoughts, Brother Gu doesn't need to worry at all. Even if you become the second-largest shareholder of Huayu, your share will not change, and you won't lose a single penny of dividend. What do you think?"

  The listed company's legitimate acquisition, let alone the transfer of shares, as long as the operation is proper, it is free and easy. Those people had planned ahead of time, Gu Lao knew that even if he didn't agree, An Tong would still achieve his goal through other means.

  At this point, it's hard to advance or retreat, so I might as well sell my personal feelings. Anyway, the dividends that will be distributed in the future won't be less, and he's old now, whether he does a good job as CEO or not isn't that important anymore.

  He composed himself and said: "Since Brother An Shi has spoken, I will think carefully about it and give you a reply tomorrow."

  An Tong smiled and left: "Then I'll wait for good news from Brother Gu Shi. I'm leaving first, don't disturb your rest."

  Things have come to this, and settling down is inevitable. As soon as An Tong came out, he called An Zixi, originally this face was ruined, An Zixi was still very anxious, but as soon as he heard An Tong say this, he immediately showed a hint of a smile.

  "Dad, is what you said true?"

  "Look at you silly child, can't even tell when daddy is teasing you."

  Anzi's heart was stirred with emotion, and the gloom on her forehead dissipated.

  "Then Dad, I have to hurry up and go to Korea for surgery, or else what's going to happen to this face of mine?"

  "It's really 'a woman should marry late', and yet you can't wait to get married."

  "Father... look what you said, I'm not in a hurry to get married."

  Since she was injured, she hadn't eaten anything. After hanging up the phone, she suddenly felt hungry and asked someone to buy her food, casually ordering several dishes.

  Suddenly thought of something, gave Ji Jiangying a call. Not long after picking up, she said in a soft voice: "Jiangying, I've thought about it, previously I was scared and had wild thoughts that wrongly accused Shallow Cong. Later on, thinking about it some more, I felt it wasn't right, how could it be her fault? She's not the kind of person who would do such a thing, straightforward and honest. You mustn't because of my careless words, go back home and make things difficult for her."

  Her attitude has changed somewhat awkwardly, but her words are sincere, and there's nothing wrong with that.

  Ji Jiang's voice was faintly heard: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, I still have a meeting."

  "Then you go ahead and get busy, also pay attention to rest."

  The settlement of this matter is going very smoothly, everything is proceeding quietly according to plan. Huayu's power has fallen sharply, and secretly it is like a raging fire.

  Mr. Gu had made up his mind this time and was determined not to let Gu Shallow marry into the Ji family, so at this critical moment, An Tong's suggestion became the only feasible solution.

  He didn't even tell Mrs. Gu about this matter, fearing that when the time comes, the news will leak out and he doesn't know what earth-shattering thing Gu Shallow will do again.

  Anzi felt the situation was stabilizing, and her mood was great. With a sense of security in her heart, she dared to go to Korea for facial repair surgery. She didn't dare to delay any longer, as Gu Shuangning's wedding date was approaching, and it would soon be upon them.

  He asked for leave from Ji Jiangying and flew alone to South Korea.
