Chapter 187: Worry
Board of directors in the Gu Group consisted of three parts, including Gu Zijin who was a dominant shareholder, new shareholders who cooperated well with the Gu Group, and senior shareholders listening to Elderly Lady Gu.
Those senior shareholders had the smallest number of shares.
Gu Zijin had already taken back their power. He would sort things out in today’s meeting.
“I guess everyone knows my intention to organize the meeting.”
Directors exchanged nervous glances. They were clear about what had happened in the company.
All Elderly Lady Gu wanted was to teach her grandson a lesson. However, Gu Zijin had real power. He was not the previous fledgling.
If they planned to work for him, they needed to figure out the situation.
“Some senior shareholders have made their decisions. Of course, I have no objection. I will purchase those shares. Don’t worry about that.”
At this moment, the senior shareholders couldn’t sit still. Elderly Lady Gu asked them to press Gu Zijin so that he would shrink back from difficulties. However, things went on unexpectedly.
“Zijin, you grew up in front of us. You shouldn’t…”
“What shouldn’t I do? I understand that you try to withdraw the money. You have two options. You can eat your words, otherwise I will take the shares over.”
Those old man weren’t muddleheaded. They became loaded for receiving dividends every year from the Gu Group. How could they discard this opportunity?
“No, please. We were getting confused because of our age. We are gratified that you have grown into a capable man.”
A director said, and others echoed. They should have known that Gu Zijin was more powerful than before.
Elderly Lady Gu only mentioned putting pressure on him. However, she didn’t point out how terrible the situation would be when Gu Zijin went furious. Directors dared not speak now.
“Okay, if everyone wants to eat your words, I hope we will get along well with each other. Otherwise, I won’t show any mercy.”
Gu Zijin squinted at them, finding restlessness in their eyes. He then dismissed the meeting.
…
“An insider told us that Gu Zijin’s behavior had displeased the senior shareholders of the Gu Group, so they decided to withdraw their investment. However, they patched things up at dusk…”
Watching the news of the Business Channel, Qin Muxuan was fidgeting. The Gu Group suddenly encountered difficulty, which might be caused by Gu Zijin’s post.
The door flung open. Qin Muxuan guessed it was Gu Zijin.
Qin Xiaobai rushed to his father, “Daddy, you’re so handsome! Someone even cried for that!”
“Well, that’s my pleasure.”
Lifting Xiaobai up, Gu Zijin gazed at Qin Muxuan complacently, “What? Never say thank you.”
Qin Muxuan rolled her eyes. ‘Thank you? Oh my God!’
‘It’s not the right time for joking! Have you solved the problem?’ She bellowed inwardly.
Qin Muxuan looked at Xiaobai, saying gently, “Xiaobai, can you play in your room? I have something to say to your dad.”
“Okay…”
Xiaobai slunk away. He let out a sigh in his room.
The two adults were in the living room. Qin Muxuan walked over, “I’ve watched the Business Channel. They said…”
“Don’t worry. The problem has been resolved.”
Qin Muxuan shook her head, “No, I mean, did someone press you because of the post?”
Gu Zijin didn’t speak. He turned to the kitchen, trying to cook a dish.
Qin Muxuan kept asking, “Please, tell me. I’m worried…”
“You’re worried about me?” Gu Zijin looked up. Dropping the kitchen knife, he stepped forward and brushed her hair aside.
“Don’t do this.”
Qin Muxuan dodged. She questioned him solemnly, “Tell me. Is that true?”
“Yes, but I solved the problem.”
“You addressed this one, but will other problems flood in?” Qin Muxuan pointed at herself, “Are all these because of me?”
Gu Zijin stretched his arms, hugging Qin Muxuan. He whispered, “It might be tough for us to be together, but I promise I will handle this. Would you like to stand by me?”
‘Will I? Yes.’ Qin Muxuan answered inwardly.
Raising her hands unconsciously, she hugged Gu Zijin.
Actually, she was afraid that she would encumber him. He might suffer because of her…
She had become more sensitive since she was pregnant.
“Trust me.”
“Um!”
In the Gu’s house, a servant handed a cup of tea to Elderly Lady Gu. She flung it onto the ground out of the blue. The fierce look on her face astonished all the servants on the spot.
“Goddamn it! He dares to turn on me!”
Nanny Chen asked the servants to leave. She walked over, because she knew the old lady well.
“What’s wrong?”
“Gu Zijin goes against me for a woman!”
Nanny Chen had heard about that. “Don’t be angry. You’re his grandmother. The bond of blood cannot be cut off.”
“Ask him to come back. I’ve something to tell him.”
“Okay, I will call him right now.”
…
Gu Zijin arrived at the Gu’s house. He didn’t want to drop by. However, Qin Muxuan forced him to come here.
Sitting on the sofa, he sipped the tea on the end table, “Grandma, what’s wrong?”
“Zijin, you really grow up. Well, you didn’t negotiate with me before taking actions. What’s worse, you even turned on me.”
“Grandma, I was also reluctant to do that.”
“I’m old. You think you can ignore me, right?”
Gu Zijin rubbed the teacup.
“Can’t we just live a peaceful life?”
“Peaceful?” Elderly Lady Gu asked back, “If living a peaceful life means that Qin Muxuan marries into our family, I won’t agree!”
“I don’t care about if you consent or not. Grandma, if you continue to make troubles, I won’t back off!”
“Zijin, don’t talk to your grandma in such a way.” Ye Han appeared. Though she scolded her son, her voice was soft.
“Mom.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Glancing at the old lady, Ye Han advised gently.
“Mom, sorry. Zijin might have been brusque with you, but internal tension is not a wise option. Others might laugh at our family. Besides, if you want to punish him, you can do as you wish. But I suggest you not ruining our business.”
Elderly Lady Gu planned to teach Gu Zijin a lesson, but she couldn’t damage the foundation accumulated by the Gu family.
Ye Han’s words were reasonable, but the old lady couldn’t back off so easily. Pursing her lips, Elderly Lady Gu pulled a long face.
In fact, the old lady was aware that Gu Zijin actually had the power. It was laborious for her to sway him. She could not control him anymore.
Noticing his grandmother didn’t respond, Gu Zijin rose to his feet, “Grandma, mom. If there’s nothing else, I should say good-bye. Muxuan and Xiaobai are waiting for me.”
Elderly Lady Gu’s countenance turned livid after she heard this. However, she remained silent.
