President Fu Is Great at Pretending, and the Frail Young Master Has No Way to Deal With Him - Chapter 25

“Dad, please continue reading your newspaper. Wenning, come out for a moment. I have something to ask you.” Father Gu’s tone had been quite gentle.

However, after leaving the study, Father Gu’s face changed instantly. He suppressed his anger and asked in a cold tone, “Did you make Mr. Fu angry?”

Gu Wenning felt confused and looked perplexed.

But Father Gu thought that Gu Wenning was pretending to be clueless and said, displeased, “If it wasn’t you, why would the Fu Group target the Gu family company? Who else could it be if it wasn’t you?”

It turned out that several cooperations the Gu family had been discussing during that period were about to succeed, but they ended up in failure. This kind of thing happened one after another. Gu Mingyan was not stupid. He immediately sent people to investigate and found that those failed cooperations were inseparable from the Fu Group.

Almost immediately, Father Gu blamed Gu Wenning, thinking he must have done something wrong that made Fu Yanhe angry and led him to cause trouble for the Gu family’s business.

When the phone calls couldn’t be connected and the WeChat messages couldn’t be sent, Father Gu went to see Grandpa Gu to complain. He happened to meet Gu Wenning, who was also there, and he immediately ignored everything and started blaming him.

This matter had something to do with Gu Wenning, but to say that Gu Wenning had angered Fu Yanhe and that Fu Yanhe wanted to attack the Gu family company out of revenge was really not the case. It was purely the Gu family’s own doing.

To put it bluntly, Fu Yanhe wanted to give Gu Wenning a break, remembering that Gu Wenning was beaten by them, so he made things difficult for the Gu family without informing Gu Wenning. He didn’t cause too many obstacles; he just gave a few small lessons, which would improve the Gu family’s company funds. The turnover could be difficult for a period of time, but bankruptcy or something similar was not going to happen.

Of course, if he had been ruthless, it would have been entirely possible for him to acquire the Gu family’s company. The reason why Fu Yanhe didn’t do that, among other things, was that he at least wanted to consider Gu Wenning’s thoughts. If Gu Wenning had said it was okay and wanted him to do whatever he wished, Fu Yanhe would not have let the matter go so easily.

“It has nothing to do with me; I didn’t do anything.”

Gu Wenning just held shares and received dividends every year. He never interfered with the company’s affairs, nor did he want to. The shares in his hands were enough to make people jealous. If he still participated in the company’s affairs, Father Gu and others would have had greater opinions against him, and some people might trouble Grandpa Gu. Although there were many opinions against him at this time, Gu Wenning really didn’t want to get into any unnecessary trouble anymore.

Gu Wenning’s explanation obviously did not satisfy Father Gu. Father Gu didn’t believe it at all. Instead, he decided that Gu Wenning was being tough and covering up, and that there was no truth in his words.

“I don’t care; We are going to apologize to Mr. Fu now. The car at the door is ready, and the gifts are prepared. Just go now. Remember to keep your posture low. You are here to apologize. Put away your temper. If you can’t calm Mr. Fu’s anger, you don’t have to come home anymore.”

Father Gu directly gave orders and made clear arrangements for Gu Wenning.

Gu Wenning’s brows moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised in an indifferent arc, “If he doesn’t reply, he won’t reply. Do you think I care?”

“You rebellious son…”

Father Gu was very angry. If it hadn’t been for the fact that he was in the old house and Grandpa Gu was still there, it would have been very possible for him to teach Gu Wenning a lesson like last time.

“Mingyan is not that useless. He can handle it. There are already open and secret fights in the business world. The Fu family has a marriage contract with the Gu family, but in business, should they be rivals or allies? Does the Gu family’s company have to rely on charity from others and be patronized? Can’t it be run by your own family?”

At some point, Grandpa Gu had come out of the study and looked at Father Gu several times angrily, his tone full of regret that iron was not as good as steel.

His son was considered useless and had no sense of responsibility at all. Whenever something happened to the company, he would make a fuss and get irritable. Fortunately, he had given birth to a good son who was barely useful; otherwise, the Gu family would have been 100% ruined.

“Dad, you just favoured him. Why should he do nothing when he also has his shares?” Father Gu said angrily.

He was referring to Gu Wenning.

Grandpa Gu said coldly, “Didn’t Gu Mingxu hold the shares for nothing too? What contribution did he make to the company?”

Gu Mingxu held 3% of the shares. Gu Mingyan, Gu Mingzhi, and Father Gu each gave some of their shares to Gu Mingxu. Originally, they wanted to give more, but they were suppressed by Grandpa Gu. He bluntly stated that if Gu Mingxu was given more shares, Gu Mingyan would be removed from the position of heir, and the company would be handed over to Gu Wenning. If not, Gu Mingxu’s shares would probably not be less than Gu Wenning’s.

Father Gu choked, blushed, and defended, “Xiao Xu is different.”

“What’s different? Speaking of which, Mingzhi is only focused on playing games. He is still the second son and has no responsibility at all. He didn’t know how to join the company to help Mingyan. The second son enjoyed his leisure time. Should Wenning bend his knees to please others? If you have the ability to use your son. Gu Congyu, how come you don’t have the ability to solve the problem yourself?”

Father Gu felt the burning pain on his face and felt ashamed. He quickly found an excuse and left in despair.

Gu Wenning hesitated and said, “The company…”

Grandpa Gu interrupted, “Since the company has been handed over to your eldest brother, let him fiddle with it on his own. Don’t worry about it. If he is really hit by this setback, I have misjudged him.”

“Okay, let’s not talk about those troublesome things. Grandpa has steamed the sea bass. Let’s have a good meal with Grandpa at noon today.”

.

Although Grandpa Gu didn’t let Gu Wenning interfere, Gu Wenning still inquired about it. Even he, who had never studied finance, could see that someone was deliberately targeting the Gu family’s company; otherwise, several partners who were about to sign contracts wouldn’t have suddenly changed their tune and refused to cooperate with the Gu Family Company because they had better choices. The Fu Group extended an olive branch to them for cooperation. To put it simply, the Fu Group stole the Gu Family Company’s business halfway.

Why was this?

Gu Wenning felt a little confused. The man had just cooperated with the Gu family on a project some time ago, and now he was at odds with them again.

After thinking for a while, Gu Wenning couldn’t figure out the answer and simply gave up.

It didn’t look like he wanted to push the Gu family into a desperate situation. Of course, someone would worry about the company’s affairs. Why should he worry about it? His eldest brother could worry for it himself.

Speaking of which, Gu Wenning also found it funny. Father Gu wanted to push him out to curry Favor with Fu Yanhe and gain more benefits for the Gu family, but Gu Mingyan had no such intention and was even completely opposite to what Father Gu wanted, because he wanted to save face and didn’t want the outside world to look down on him.

As the heir to the Gu family, people would say that he had no ability to make the family business bigger and stronger, even had to sell his younger brother out to survive.

.

At the same time, Fu Yanhe calmly chatted and laughed with several business tycoons in the conference room. After more than 20 hours of negotiation throughout the day and night, they finally reached an agreement.

Fu Yanhe stood up at the right time, smiled slightly, then shook hands with the person in charge of the partner, while reporters took pictures.

Even though he hadn’t closed his eyes for a day and a night, Fu Yanhe was still in high spirits. As soon as the negotiation was over, he wanted to run away, but an unknown person stopped him to say hello, “As expected of the young master of Fu family. Mr. Fu is really young and promising, is it…”

Fu Yanhe knew that the other party was trying to get close to him, but he had no time to talk, so he stepped over with a perfunctory sentence and left in a hurry, wanting to escape.

Secretary Xu trotted to keep up with him, only wishing he had two incredibly long legs like his boss.

Fu Yanhe lowered his head and looked at his watch. There was still time, so he asked as he walked, “Secretary Xu, where is the souvenir shop here?”

He had to buy some gifts for his wife to take back. He was on a business trip, so he couldn’t come here in vain. What would it look like if he come home with nothing in his hands?

Secretary Xu had checked it in advance, so when the boss asked, she immediately told Fu Yanhe and said that he had arranged the route and it was just the right time to go to the airport after buying the gifts.

After Fu Yanhe heard this, he praised Secretary Xu a few times and expressed that he was very satisfied, which made Secretary Xu feel quite flattered.

Looking down from the airplane window, the city was a sea of lights until it was drowned by clouds and turned into darkness.

Completely different from the frustration and disappointment he felt when he went abroad, Fu Yanhe’s heart was filled with joy and expectation from the moment he boarded the plane.

He was going back to see his wife, whom he had been separated from for thirty hours.
