Chapter 369 - 369: A Wild Man’s Child?
The Sea City Business Association held a high-level business exchange meeting.
As the leading local company, Gu Jianguo was the richest man in Sea City, so he was naturally the first to be invited to this cocktail party.
Seated at the desk of the general manager’s office of the Mo Corporation was a handsome young man in a white shirt, black suit, and black-rimmed glasses. At this moment, he was playing with a high-end fountain pen. In contrast to his usual coldness, he revealed a rare smile.
He looked at the man opposite him and asked curiously, “Yan, why did you suddenly come to Sea City?”
The man sitting on the sofa opposite him had exquisite facial features that were sharp and perfect. His deep and dark eyes were cold and unfathomable, cold and indifferent.
This person was Mo Junyan.
Mo Junyan and the man sitting opposite him, Shen Yizhi, were classmates and old friends. Shen Yizhi also reported to Mo Junyan.
Shen Yizhi suddenly asked suspiciously, “That’s not right. In the past, you rarely came to Sea City every year. Why have you come twice in just half a year?” There must be something fishy going on.
Mo Junyan glanced at his good friend and said coldly, “Our Mo Corporation has a branch in Sea City. 1 can come and go as 1 please.”
Shen Yizhi shrugged and said with a smile, “Alright, alright. You’re in charge of your territory.”
After playing with the pen, Shen Yizhi moved the documents piled at the foot of the table. He accidentally pushed the documents down.
In the folder, a red sticker with gold borders was revealed.
Shen Yizhi picked up the invitation letter and asked in confusion, “When did this invitation letter for the business meeting organized by the business association arrive?”
Then, he put the invitation aside and said disinterestedly, “The Sea City Business Association always organizes exchange meetings. How boring!”
After he was transferred from the capital to Sea City as the general manager, he received various invitations from the Sea City Business Association and was invited to participate a few times.
However, after a few times, these exchange banquets were all about fishy business deals. It was very boring! Later on, he wouldn’t participate in business exchanges of this nature.
This time was no exception.
Mo Junyan glanced at the invitation and his cold eyes flashed.
He raised his hand and took the invitation letter from the side. After sizing it up, he asked, “Who usually attends such business exchanges?”
“Who else could it be? It’s mainly some famous companies in Sea City,” Shen Yizhi said indifferently. Then, he looked at Mo Junyan suspiciously. “Yan, when did you become interested in such a small banquet?”
The corners of Mo Junyan’s mouth curled up. He held the invitation letter between two fingers and asked, “Has anything happened in Sea City recently? Why did the business association hold such an exchange meeting?”
Shen Yizhi shook his head and said, “What big things can happen in Sea City? It’s just as usual. Some company’s shares would fall one day, and some company’s shares would rise the next day.”
At this point, he paused for a moment and mentioned something that he was interested in.
He said, “Speaking of which, there’s something interesting. In the first half of the year, the Gu Corporation, the leading company in Sea City, had been expanding non-stop. For some reason, the richest man in Sea City, who had always been low-key and reserved, suddenly became high-profile and participated in all kinds of high-end cocktail parties. Someone mocked him for suddenly becoming high-profile. Did he intend to become the richest man in the country? Tsk tsk, although he’s also the richest man, the difference between the richest man in the country and the richest man in Sea City is like the difference between heaven and earth!”
Mo Junyan’s sharp eyes flashed. He asked, “So, Gu Jianguo and his wife will participate in this business cocktail party?”
Shen Yizhi nodded and said, “I think he will participate!”
“What I want is not a guess, but a confirmation!” Mo Junyan’s expression suddenly turned serious.
Shen Yizhi was stunned for a moment before he said, “Alright, I’ll call and ask!”
With that, he called his secretary outside.
“Secretary Liu, will Gu Jianguo from the Gu Corporation participate in this business exchange? Yes, okay, I understand!”
After Shen Yizhi hung up, he said to Mo Junyan, “It’s confirmed that Gu Jianguo will participate in this business cocktail party!”
After saying that, he asked suspiciously, “Yan, why are you so interested in Gu Corporation’s Gu Jianguo?”
Mo Junyan rolled his eyes at him and said indifferently, “I’m just a little interested in the richest man in Sea City.”
Shen Yizhi obviously did not believe Mo Junyan’s words.
Compared to the big cities in the country, Sea City could only be considered a second-tier city.
There were so many rich men, but none of them had attracted Mo Junyan’s attention.
Shen Yizhi continued, “Speaking of the Gu family, there’s something else that people are talking about.”
“Oh, what is it?” Mo Junyan raised his eyebrows and asked.
“I heard that the heir of the Gu Corporation, Gu Qingming, is pregnant with a wild man’s child and ran to the countryside to farm. She even abandoned her family’s company!” Shen Yizhi smiled and said, “Now, the entire upper circle is mocking Gu Jianguo and the Gu Corporation.”
The invitation letter in Mo Junyan’s hand fell to the ground.. He asked, “Pregnant with a wild man’s child?”
