Then, he said with a serious expression, “Chairman Gu, it’s an honor that President Mo is attend our cocktail party. As long as we entertain him well, he might come to Sea City to make a big investment. In the future, you’ll be a hero!”
When the richest man in a country made an investment, it was a huge project worth hundreds of millions. It could easily cost tens of billions. This was a move to promote the economic development of Sea City.
Gu Jianguo also said firmly, “Then I’ll tell you the truth. It’s impossible for me to let my Madam retreat to the side. My Madam and 1 have always advanced and retreated together. Since President Mo can’t come into close contact with women, it’s not good for me to entertain President Mo. 1’11 retreat to the side with my Madam and give up my seat, okay?”
Shi Xiaojun’s face darkened.
He said, “Chairman Gu, you’re the richest man in Sea City. You have a pivotal role in Sea City’s business world. Therefore, our association hopes that you can represent the elites in our business world and interact with President Mo. To be honest, this is a once- in-a -lifetime opportunity for the Gu Corporation to expand. You have to cherish it!”
This was obviously a reminder for him to know what was good for him and not waste a great opportunity because of a woman!
Gu Jianguo’s expression immediately darkened. He said, “1 don’t plan to cooperate with the Mo Corporation for the time being, so 1 won’t waste my effort. Vice President Shi, please give this opportunity to others. I’ll take my Madam and retreat to the side. We will not get close to President Mo!”
Seeing that Gu Jianguo could not be reasoned with, Shi Xiaojun could only walk back and whisper in Shang Chenghao’s ear.
Shang Chenghao glanced at Gu Jianguo sharply and nodded. “Yes, since he insists on doing this, let him be.”
However, he thought to himself, “Once he offends President Mo, Gu Jianguo can forget about occupying the position of the richest man in Sea City in the future. Hehe…”
They were also angry at Gu Jianguo for not snubbing them.
Shen Yizhi could not hear their conversation clearly.
However, he still knew a little about Gu Jianguo from the Gu Corporation.
The Gu family was a century-old aristocratic family with a deep foundation in Sea City. Every successor of the Gu family was very capable, allowing the Gu Corporation to develop steadily until Gu Jianguo became the richest man in Sea City.
Shen Yizhi smiled and said, “I’ve long heard of Chairman Gu’s name! Hello, I’m Shen Yizhi, the General Manager of the Mo Corporation’s Sea City branch!”
With that, he stretched out his hand, clearly wanting to shake Gu Jianguo’s hand.
Gu Jianguo did not argue and reached out his hand. “Hello, CEO Shen!”
After shaking hands, Shen Yizhi looked at the Madam beside Gu Jianguo and said with a smile, “This must be Madam Gu.”
Shi Yashu smiled and said, “Hello, President Shen!”
Shen Yizhi smiled and said, “I’ve long heard that Chairman Gu and Madam are deeply in love. Now that I see you, it’s true!”
Actually, he was quite curious.
The men’s wives and female companions kept to the side, but Gu Jianguo and his wife did not seem to care about the rumors of Mo Junyan’s resistance to women.
Gu Jianguo smiled and said, “President Shen, I’ve heard your name before!”
Shen Yizhi smiled and said, “Chairman Gu, I’ve embarrassed myself!”
Everyone listened to the conversation between Shen Yizhi and Gu Jianguo with inexplicable expressions, especially Rong Cheng.
He was in a hurry to curry favor, but he was embarrassed when he was not recognized.
However, Gu Jianguo was just standing there, but President Shen took the initiative to greet him!
The contrast was really infuriating!
Rong Cheng watched as Shen Yizhi and Gu Jianguo chatted happily. His eyes darted around.
He laughed and walked up to the two of them. He interrupted as though it was only natural to do so, “President Shen, Chairman Gu is a famous entrepreneur in Sea City. In Sea City’s business world, everyone knows that Chairman Gu has a golden finger! Look, whichever piece the Gu Group thinks highly of, that piece will definitely develop quickly. His methods of doing things make the people behind him unable to keep up.”
Rong Cheng’s original intention was to flatter him to death!
The more Gu Jianguo was praised, the more disgusted he would be.
It would definitely be an affront to the President and General Manager of the Mo Corporation for someone to praise the richest man in Sea City so highly.
He was just a Sea City entrepreneur. He had only invested in a few small projects and succeeded, but he was already said to have a golden finger. If he was praised effusively by others, what would that make Mo Junyan, the richest man in the country?
Of course, as long as one was slightly less tolerant, they might be calculative.
However, regardless of whether it was Mo Junyan or Shen Yizhi, this person could not be compared to them.
When Shen Yizhi heard this, he seemed to be very interested and said, “Oh, Chairman Gu, when you invest in the project another day, can you inform me and let me take a share of the loot?”
When Shen Yizhi said this, Rong Cheng and the other business owners of Sea City were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
Was this a collaboration with the Gu Corporation?
Thinking of this, President Rong Cheng and the others were jealous.
They kept trying to please President Mo and Shen Yizhi, but they could not get a look from them.
On the contrary, Gu Jianguo’s attitude was clearly arrogant; he looked like he was rejecting them, but they still took a fancy to him.
His luck was so good that it made people jealous.
Rong Cheng was very unwilling.
He had originally hoped to cooperate with the Mo Corporation and soar into the sky to replace Gu Jianguo as the richest man.
He had already offended Gu Jianguo previously, so it was impossible for him to cooperate with the Gu Corporation.
Therefore, Sea City was to be either dominated by the Gu Group or controlled by the Rong Group!
In order to maintain Rong Enterprise’s position in Sea City, he could not be blamed for being ruthless and pulling down Gu Enterprise.
Rong Cheng smiled and said, “President Shen, Chairman Gu is interested in a project.”
“Oh, what project is it?” Shen Yizhi was a little curious.
Rong Cheng said, “He contracted more than 200 acres of land in a small mountain village thousands of miles away. Now, he’s letting the future heir of the Gu Corporation manage those 200 acres of land. I heard that it’s still expanding!”
Hearing Rong Cheng’s words, the corners of the mouths of the bosses and general managers present, including Shen Yizhi, could not help but twitch.
How was this introducing a project to Shen Yizhi? He was clearly mocking Gu Jianguo in the name of introducing a project.
This cocktail party gathered almost all the celebrities in the business world in Sea City. They had heard some rumors about the heir of the Gu Corporation.
The heir of the Gu family was not an investment. He had fled that countryside with a bastard child.
Rong Cheng looked at everyone’s expressions and his face immediately became smug. He continued, “President Shen, don’t think that this project is small. 1 heard that Miss Gu wants to grow green agricultural products on that kind of land..”
