Chapter 370: Sea City Commercial Banquet (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At six o’clock in the evening, the banquet hall of Hai Cheng’s Ya Pavilion Business Hotel was resplendent, brightly lit, and filled with the fragrance of wine and women!
Among the guests in the hall, a man in a suit and leather shoes was genteel as he shuttled through the crowd with his beautiful female companions. The women wore heavy makeup and were dressed beautifully. All of them seemed to want to surpass the crowd at this banquet.
“President Chen, long time no see!”
Holding a wine glass filled with red liquid, the pot-bellied CEO Li brought his new beautiful female secretary and greeted CEO Chen of Sea City Tiancheng Company.
The bald President Chen raised his wine glass slightly and clinked it with President Li’s. He looked at the female secretary with lust in his eyes and asked with a smile, “President Li, you’ve changed your secretary again. This secretary is really beautiful. President Li is so lucky!”
President Li said humbly, “President Chen, you flatter me. If you like Secretary Liu, 1 can ask Secretary Liu to help take care of you.”
President Chen looked very happy as he said, “President Li, how can I let you part with your treasure?”
…..
President Li smiled and said, “It’s Secretary Liu’s honor to be able to take care of President Chen.”
Secretary Liu, who was holding President Li’s arm, had a change in expression on her exquisitely made-up face. Then, she returned to normal and smiled. “It’s my honor to be able to take care of President Chen!”
Another group of exquisitely dressed men and women held wine glasses. After clinking glasses with each other, they looked at the door, as if waiting for someone to appear.
A short and slightly fat middle-aged man, Shen Qingshan, said, “I wonder if Chairman Gu and his wife from the Gu Corporation will attend this cocktail party?”
The other man, Liu Hanshan, said, “Yes, I’ve asked around. The Gu couple will be coming to this cocktail party.”
“Recently, the Gu Corporation’s momentum has been a little fierce.” Lin Weimin sighed. “In the past, the Gu Corporation only developed steadily in Sea City, but in the past half a year, the Gu Corporation’s main business has been expanding. In the past, when the Gu Corporation didn’t fight or snatch, our companies could get a piece of the pie. Now that the Gu Corporation has suddenly become stronger, we probably won’t even be able to enjoy the soup behind us if it continues to develop at this pace.”
When Shen Qingshan heard this, his expression immediately revealed disdain. “Hmph, so what if the Gu Corporation develops? Gu Jianguo doesn’t have a son and only has an only daughter. In the future, outsiders will still benefit!”
A tall and fair woman holding Shen Qingshan’s arm smiled and said, “I heard that that daughter is quite capable. She was nurtured as the heir of the Corporation since she was young. This shouldn’t be to the extent of letting outsiders benefit, right?”
“That’s hard to say!” Liu Hanshan shook his head and said, “Rumor has it that the heir of the Gu Corporation, Gu Qingming, is indeed capable. However, she was too emotional and was fooled by a man. It’s said that she lost her virginity and was pregnant with an unknown bastard. Look, she was too ashamed to face anyone in Sea City and ran to her countryside home.”
“Tsk tsk, I’m afraid that’s what some people say. There are gains and losses.” Someone mocked. “The Gu family has built such a huge empire, but they have no successor. It’s really a pity and a pity.”
“Actually, if you ask me, Gu Jianguo is too inflexible. He’s stubbornly guarding Shi Yashu. Even if Shi Yashu was shockingly beautiful back then, she’s already half an old woman now. He’s rich and powerful. He should be tired of looking at the same face every day.”
“If it were me, no matter how much I like a woman, I can leave her at home, but I have to have a son to inherit the family business. Otherwise, why did I work so hard to establish the company? It’s all for my son.”
“That’s right. Even if he doesn’t want to find a woman to have children with, with the current level of technology, it’s not a problem for him to have a son.”
“That daughter of his isn’t half as smart as him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been fooled by a man. If he relies on her to develop the Gu Corporation, hehe, I think the Gu Corporation will be destroyed by her sooner or later.”
“This Gu Qingming is really too much. She’s the daughter of the richest man. She can like any man she wants, but she just has to like a wild pheasant from the corner of a mountain village. This company’s investment project is the same as a woman choosing a man. She has to have a precise gaze. With Gu Qingming’s blind gaze, she might really destroy such a huge company.”
“Therefore, you have to have a son to find an heir. If a man likes a woman, he will at most give her money, but he won’t give everything away. However, it’s not the same for women. Women are too emotional. They treat men as the heavens and please men. Giving gifts and money is not a big deal but I’m afraid they have to give away their family assets.”
While many people were discussing Gu Jianguo, Gu Jianguo and Shi Yashu appeared in the banquet hall hand in hand.
Seeing the Gu couple appear, the crowd that had been discussing earlier immediately rushed forward to curry favor.
“Chairman Gu, how long has it been since we last met? You look even younger!”
“Madam Gu, you look even more dazzling! What kind of divine pill did you and your husband take?!”
“Madam Gu, your skin is becoming more and more tender, fair, and delicate! What cosmetics do you use? Can you recommend them? I’ll get a set another day!”
“That’s right, Madam Gu. Your fair and tender skin is really enviable! Don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with us!”
Shi Yashu was not the most luxurious, gorgeous, and elegant lady!
It was really infuriating to compare oneself to others!
Especially rich women!
They came from a privileged and well-off family and did not have to worry about the daily necessities of life.
Therefore, their minds were focused on becoming beautiful and dressing up. They were also looking at the competition between women in the upper-class circle! No one was willing to expose their family scandals and embarrassment in front of others!
In the banquet hall, nine out of ten couples looked united but were at odds with each other. The only exception was the Gu couple.
Which woman in the upper-class society didn’t envy Madam Gu, Shi Yashu?
If Shi Yashu had married into a family that was inferior to theirs, then they would only ridicule and mock her!
However, no one dared to ridicule Shi Yashu, the Madam of the Gu Corporation’s chairman, who was the richest man in Sea City. They only wanted to curry favor with her!
“Madam Gu, you’re really getting younger and younger! I don’t know if I should think that you’re only a woman in your twenties or thirties!”
“Madam Gu, look at your fair skin. It’s really enviable!”
Madam Gu was surrounded by these women and smiled appropriately!
She said, “Actually, I didn’t use any cosmetics. I just ate well and slept well. Naturally, my skin is getting better and better!”
The noblewomen were speechless..
