Chapter 2022: Chapter 464: Mr. Gu, Abuse of Power for Personal Gain (Part 2)
As expected, when Old Master Qin heard Gu Mochen say this, he immediately spoke excitedly: "Look, Mr. Gu understands the reason...right...having sons and daughters is just great, looking at Jinchen, really likes him, and then looking at Tang Bao, is really sensible."
Old Master Qin couldn’t stop praising Tang Bao and Cubao.
Mu Wan blushed, so shy she almost wanted to lower her head into her bowl.
Jian Ran, seeing Mu Wan growing more embarrassed, quickly said: "Old Master, there’s no rush, Qin San and Xiaowan have their own plan in mind, you don’t need to worry."
"It’s not about worrying, people have their age, at my age...isn’t it almost the end?"
Old Master Qin inadvertently said what was on his mind, and quickly realized he made the atmosphere heavy.
One can’t deny old age when reaching eighty.
Though people can conquer nature.
However, there are limits to everything.
Everyone looked at each other when they heard Old Master Qin’s words, feeling a bit uncomfortable in their hearts.
Father Qin couldn’t help but say: "Dad, what are you talking about, you can surely live to be a hundred."
"You brat...if luck is good, I can live to be a hundred, I’m already over eighty, only have just over ten years left."
Father Qin was momentarily speechless, indeed just as the old man said.
Yet, really unwilling to see that day come.
"Dad, anyway, you don’t talk nonsense."
"Brat."
Jian Ran felt a bit uncomfortable at heart, looking at the old man whose body was much sturdier compared to peers, the truth was, he was indeed not as good as before.
Everyone understood the truth, Qin Mu and Mu Wan surely knew it as well.
Qin Mu looked somewhat solemn, actually, Mu Wan’s age wasn’t big, for Mu Wan, having a child now is not very suitable.
A woman’s path is still long ahead...
After pondering briefly... Qin Mu took the initiative to open the conversation: "Old Master, you should eat more... don’t overthink, when the time is right, things naturally fall into place."
"Hmph, you brat, always think about fooling me."
"No way, no way, let’s eat."
"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about unhappy things, I as an old man love to say random stuff, don’t take it to heart."
"Mm-hmm."
Everyone knew the old man was old, followed along with his words, as long as he was in good spirits, it was fine.
...
After finishing breakfast, Jian Ran and Gu Mochen entrusted the two kids to Jian Anguo’s care and immediately headed to the Gu Family.
Though the mess from France was left behind, the Gu Family was also facing similar messes.
While the news of Carlo withdrawing investment from France spread globally, Carlo’s stock didn’t fall because of it, instead, it soared, and some small European countries extended olive branches to Carlo, hoping Carlo could settle in their countries in the future.
After all, for an international company like Carlo, settling in their country will surely bring substantial economic progress and appreciation to it.
Gu Mochen turned on his phone as soon as he arrived at the company, and Secretary Zhou called.
"Mr. Gu, the French official news platform has clarified the previous news about Carlo’s jewelry causing radiation leading to miscarriage, has been released, the clicks broke a hundred million within an hour."
Gu Mochen: "..."
Heh...
Thinking of clarifying now, isn’t it a bit...too late?
Sometimes, once you miss a good opportunity, it’s really gone forever.
Gu Mochen’s thin lips curled into a slight mocking smile, he spoke faintly: "Mm, help me call to thank them for their goodwill."
"Alright, Mr. Gu, additionally, both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Finance have called, wanting to have in-depth conversations with you, can you make time for them?"
"Push it off for me."
"Understood..."
"They also prepared lavish gifts, saying it’s for you and your wife’s wedding blessings."
"Accept the gifts, but don’t meet the people."
"Understood."
Sometimes, Secretary Zhou just loved Gu Mochen’s assertiveness.
Being able to make such an impact, causing a nation to be stirred, apart from Gu Mochen, there’s hardly anyone else.
Jian Ran saw Gu Mochen confidently hang up the phone, couldn’t help but smile and say: "Looks like they are panicking, hmm, I’ll go check the news."
"Mm, I’ll take you to the design department."
"Okay."
The couple had been inseparable for a long time, the people in the design department were nearly shocked about Jian Ran being Mrs. Gu initially, but after some time, slowly came to terms with it.
