“President Rong, let me congratulate you in advance. Come, let’s have a toast!”
“Haha, Boss Rong, once the Rong Corporation collaborates with the Mo Corporation, you’ll definitely be the richest man in Sea City. In the future, our Li Corporation will have to rely on you.”
“Boss Rong…”
Rong Cheng was very happy to be praised. It was as if he could see himself sitting in the position of the richest man in Sea City. However, he still said humbly, “No, 1 still have to rely on everyone’s support in the future!”
“Hehe, Gu Jianguo has been gaining momentum recently. So what if he keeps expanding? He still can’t compare when it comes to cooperation with the Mo Corporation.”
“Hmph, Gu Jianguo doesn’t have a son. His only daughter is pregnant with a bastard and ran to the countryside to farm. So, why is he working so hard? In the future, when his daughter gets married, everything in the Gu family will belong to someone else.”
“That’s right. The Gu family has a huge business, but it’s a pity that they don’t have a son to inherit the family business!”
…..
“That’s why I said that this is fate! Without a son, and with a daughter that is so disappointing, no matter how big the family business is, it will only benefit others!”
“They don’t have a son and their daughter doesn’t live up to their expectations. What are they busy with?”
“Stop talking, stop talking. President Mo is here.”
“All, it’s really President Mo! This is the first time I’ve seen him in person. Wow, he’s really young!”
“He’s indeed young. I heard that he’s only 26 years old this year!”
“Twenty-six years old? How young! Think about it. What were we doing when we were 26 years old? I think we were at home nursing our children.”
Many of the bosses and elites present had started from scratch and gradually built up their current assets.
“However, he has been a rich second-generation heir since he was young. It’s much easier for him to start a business compared to us.”
“That’s true! For example, the Gu family has been a preeminent family in Sea City for a hundred years. Therefore, it’s much easier to build a family business than us, who started from scratch!”
The President of the Sea City Business Association led his subordinates to accompany Mo Junyan to the banquet hall.
The President of the Sea City Business Association said respectfully, “President Mo, President Shen, this is the business exchange banquet hall organized by our association. The famous business and business elites of Sea City are gathered here!”
The moment Mo Junyan entered the banquet hall, his deep eyes quietly sized up the surroundings. Then, his sharp gaze noticed the pair of figures in the corner, and his eyes flickered.
Shen Yizhi looked at the women gathered in the corner of the banquet hall and his lips curled up. A faint smile appeared on his cold face as he asked, “President of the Sea City Business Association, you guys are really thoughtful!
The President of the Sea City Business Association and the others followed Shen Yizhi’s gaze and happened to see a group of women in gorgeous clothes in the corner of the banquet. All of them were holding wine glasses or fruit juice, looking at Mo Junyan and the others excitedly.
President Shang’s expression was slightly awkward. He smiled and explained, “Well, 1 heard that President Mo is allergic… In order to not let these women offend President Mo, we can only inform them not to walk around casually for the time being!”
As he spoke, he carefully observed Mo Junyan’s expression. However, the emotionless Mo Junyan made it impossible for anyone to guess his emotions.
Shen Yizhi smiled and asked, “These women are probably the wives or female companions of the elite business owners of Sea City, right?”
Vice-President Shi nodded and said, “Indeed!”
Only a small number of people were insensible. Weren’t they afraid of losing face by bringing a mistress to such an important occasion?
At this moment, Rong Cheng suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his right hand. When he saw Shen Yizhi, he said excitedly, “Hello, President Shen!”
Shen Yizhi asked in confusion, “You are?”
Rong Cheng immediately introduced himself. “CEO Shen, I’m Rong Cheng from the Rong Corporation! I’ve been looking for you these past two days to discuss a collaboration. Have you forgotten?”
When Shen Yizhi heard this, he nodded and said, “Oh, oh, so it’s Boss Rong of the Rong Corporation!”
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s me!” Rong Cheng was very excited to be remembered by Shen Yizhi.
“But, Boss Rong, what’s the matter now?” Shen Yizhi asked again in confusion!
Rong Cheng and everyone else present were speechless.
It turned out that he was not here to look for Rong Enterprise at all!
Previously, when they said that Mo Junyan came here to attend the banquet to discuss a collaboration with the Rong Corporation, it was simply a joke!
Of course, no one wanted to expose this joke now!
“Pfft!”
Now that Gu Jianguo, who was not far away, heard their conversation, he could not help but laugh!
He had no choice!
The couple had drunk too much spirit spring water. Not only had they become younger, but their eyes and ears had also become sharper!
Rong Cheng and his wife could not help but listen to his conversation with the others!
Previously, Rong Cheng had proudly told others that Mo Junyan had attended the banquet because Rong Corporation was about to collaborate with Mo Corporation.
But now, Mo Junyan and Shen Yizhi didn’t even remember the Rong Corporation. They were simply making a fool of themselves.
Of course, no one dared to laugh out loud.
Some were stifling their laughter so hard that their faces were cramping.
Rong Cheng’s face darkened.
Shen Yizhi looked over in confusion. When he saw that the person laughing was Gu Jianguo, he could not help but ask, “Chairman Gu, what are you laughing at?”
From this respectful tone, it could be seen that Shen Yizhi respected Gu Jianguo very much.
Afraid that Gu Jianguo would say something unfavorable to him, Rong Cheng took the first step and scolded sternly, “Gu Jianguo, what kind of attitude is this? Didn’t you see President Mo’s arrival? As the richest man in Sea City and a famous entrepreneur, shouldn’t you welcome him as an example?”
Rong Cheng was furious.
He shouldn’t have said that but he had already said it.
Shang Chenghao’s expression darkened. His expression was a little unhappy and ugly. It was unknown if he was targeting Gu Jianguo or Rong Cheng.
Shang Chenghao noticed Mo Junyan’s gaze on Gu Jianguo and immediately introduced, “President Mo, this Gu Jianguo is the chairman of Sea City’s leading company and the richest man in Sea City.”
Then, he gave Vice President Shi Xiaojun a look.
Shi Xiaojun understood immediately. He walked towards Gu Jianguo and whispered to him, “Chairman Gu, can you ask your wife to leave? President Mo, he can’t come into close contact with women!”
Wherever President Mo went, women had to retreat!
Forget about what happened earlier.
But now, it was obvious that Mo Junyan had noticed Gu Jianguo and his wife, so he naturally had to follow the rules.
Gu Jianguo had long heard that Mo Junyan could not come into contact with women.
However, what puzzled him was how he came into contact with his daughter and even got her pregnant.
Gu Jianguo had to extend some courtesy to the association.
He nodded and said, “Alright, then Madam and I will retreat to the side first!”
Shi Xiaojun was speechless. That was not what he meant.
Shi Xiaojun’s expression was a little ugly as he said, “Chairman Gu, don’t make things difficult for us.. You know that’s not what we meant at all!”
