Chapter 668: Gu Xunjing's Rise
"We must set a wedding date today and not let them use Gu Xuanwu's mourning period as an excuse to postpone it."
"Yes, that's right, our daughter can't afford to wait three years."
After Su's parents finished speaking, they were about to rush into the Gu family's house again. Su Mengyu tried to stop them, but Zhan Yanxun grabbed her arm and said, "What do they want to do? If they want to cause trouble, let them. Since no one is thinking about you, why should you be so considerate of others?"
Su Mengyu was worried about Gu Xunjing and his parents, but who truly cared about her?
Zhan Yanxun looked at Su Mengyu and said, "Gu Xunjing will never agree to marry you. No matter how much your parents make a fuss, they'll eventually give up. You don't need to rush forward to shield them from those hurtful words. You're the victim here."
Zhan Yanxun's words made Su Mengyu feel a pang of sadness.
It seems no one felt wronged about her relationship with Xun Jing, because everyone thought that since she liked Xun Jing, there was nothing wrong with having a relationship with him.
But no one knows how heartbroken she was!
When she heard Zhan Yanxun say that she was the victim, she really felt like she couldn't hold back anymore.
Zhan Yanxun said in a deep voice, "Let's go. Whatever they do is none of your business."
Zhan Yanxun took Su Mengyu and left immediately.
When Su's parents saw this, they wondered why their daughter had been pulled away.
"Stop right there! Stop right there!"
The moment Zhan Yanxun pulled her forward was a moment Su Mengyu would never forget.
……
Gu's Group
Because of Gu Xuanwu's unexpected death, the Gu Group was in complete chaos. Company executives and board members were holding a meeting...
"With President Gu's unexpected passing, the most urgent task now is to elect a new president."
"President Gu has passed away, and this position should be inherited by his son, Gu Xunjing."
"Gu Xunjing has been sheltered under the president's wing all these years, never experiencing any hardship, and only indulging in pleasure. A person like him is simply incapable of shouldering heavy responsibilities! He is not suitable to be the president of Gu's Group."
"I think so too, especially since the Gu Group is not what it used to be. It's in dire straits now. If Gu Xunjing were to become the president of the Gu Group, the Gu Group would simply declare bankruptcy."
"How can you people do this? The Gu Group was founded by President Gu. Now that President Gu has passed away unexpectedly, the position of president should naturally be inherited by his son. Are you trying to betray us?"
At this moment, Director Zhang Dongliang said, "Old Hu, you're just old, not a Qing Dynasty person. In this situation, if Gu Xunjing were to take charge, what's the difference between that and declaring bankruptcy? It's precisely because the Gu Group is President Gu's life's work that we can't let this spendthrift son squander it all."
"Yeah, what else can Gu Xunjing do besides racing cars and playing around with women? He's the kind of spoiled brat who, with his father's protection, can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury. Now that his father is gone, what use is he?"
Old Hu was Gu Xuanyu's confidant and naturally supported Gu Xunjing's rise to power, but unexpectedly he was attacked by a group of people.
Judging from Zhang Dongliang's appearance, it's clear he's colluded with everyone.
"Everyone, ignore Lao Hu. Now let's nominate someone who can be the president."
“I recommend Zhang Dongliang, Director Zhang. He has been by the president's side the longest, so he should be the president.”
Zhang Dongliang stood up and said, "I never expected that President Gu would have such an accident, but now, in order to save the Gu Group, I am willing to take on the responsibility!"
At that moment, Gu Xunjing pushed open the door and walked in. His eyes were gloomy as he said, "You people don't even dare to invite me to a board meeting? Is my father's 40% stake so insignificant?"
“Gu Xunjing, your father owns 40% of the shares, which is indeed the largest shareholding. However, if you were to become the president of the Gu Group, all of our shares would go to Zhang Dongliang, giving him more than 40% of the shares, more than you!”
Gu Xunjing chuckled and said, "It seems you all planned this out."
Zhang Dongliang said smugly, "Young Master Gu, please don't blame us. We are also heartbroken that Old Master Gu had an accident, but the Gu Group is Old Master Gu's life's work, and we can't watch it be destroyed in your hands."
Gu Xunjing said with a sinister look in his eyes, "So you just went ahead and grabbed it?"
Zhang Dongliang was speechless for a moment. After all, when did this spoiled brat have such a powerful aura?
But so what? He has already secretly united all the directors, and apart from a few minor figures who support him, the rest all do.
How can a mere yellow-haired brat like him fight against him?
Zhang Dongliang, maintaining his airs, said, "Young Master Gu, I've been working for President Gu for many years. You should address me as 'Uncle.' It's incredibly rude of you to talk to me like that."
Gu Xunjing chuckled: "Director Zhang, you're just old, not from the Qing Dynasty. Besides, I'm here to discuss business with you! All the goods that were previously supplied to Xingyuan Group have been returned, with a total value of one billion. If I remember correctly, those goods were handled by your son, Zhang Hao."
"Those goods were handled by my son. What? You don't want to blame my son for the returned goods? The specifications and quality of the goods were also approved by President Gu. Xingyuan Group originally placed the order with Zhan Group, but President Gu snatched it from Zhan Group. However, who could have known that our products did not meet their requirements, and they returned them all. Goods worth one billion are just lying in the warehouse."
If we're going to assign blame for this, I think Mr. Gu also bears some responsibility; it can't all be blamed on my son.
"My dad rushed back to the company that day to deal with something, and that was this matter, wasn't it?"
Zhang Dongliang's face instantly turned grim. He said, "That's right, the company was dealing with this matter that night, but Old Gu was in a car accident. You can't blame us for this, can you?"
"This data is the figure issued by the company to the production department. This data was produced under your son's supervision. Anyone with eyes can see the discrepancies. Do you still dare to say your son bears no responsibility? If my father had come to the company that night, neither you nor your son would have gotten away with it!"
Zhang Dongliang looked grim. He said, "No one wants this to happen, but ultimately it's because President Gu was too reckless. He rashly snatched several projects from the Zhan Group that are not our strengths, so some problems are bound to occur in production."
"My father's rashness is his problem, but aren't the incompetence and laziness of his subordinates the direct cause?"
Gu Xunjing's eyes grew increasingly gloomy as he said, "Now you say you want to sit in my father's position, then you should first sort out the mess your son made."
