"Xiao Nanchen has no interest in business, as you should know. Otherwise, the one sitting in your position at Xiahui Bank now would be Xiao Nanchen," Gu YanXuan said bluntly, "So once I get together with Xiao Nanchen, we basically won't interfere in business matters. And my brother is developing relationships among the top families, but he also needs capable hands on the business side. This person will be you."
Nie Ziming looked at Gu YanXuan in silence.
Very shaken, but still considering because he was too prudent.
It had to be said, the temptation Gu YanXuan gave him was huge.
Not only would he be able to get Xiahui Bank, but he would also have a big backer.
It was said that Gu Yan Sheng was developing very well among the top families, and it was extremely likely that he would rise up.
He said, "Okay. I agree to cooperate with you."
Nie Ziming compromised.
He couldn't refuse such a huge temptation.
"Those who recognize the times are outstanding talents," Gu YanXuan gave a somewhat smug smile, "Nie Ziming, from now on, as long as you follow our Gu family, I will definitely let you enjoy the glory and wealth that you didn't even dare to hope for before."
"I appreciate your auspicious words," Nie Ziming nodded slightly.
He didn't have too much emotional fluctuation because Gu YanXuan had painted a rosy picture for him.
He said, "What do we do now?"
"It's simple," Gu YanXuan said straightforwardly, "Xia Qiqi likes you, anyone with eyes can see that. The only reason Xia Qiqi agreed to marry Xiao Nanchen was because she was forced to, so as long as you take the initiative to pursue her again and strongly demand to be with her, she will really be with you. And once you are together, Xia Qiqi and Xiao Nanchen’s marriage will naturally be over. Of course, divorce will definitely take some time. I’ll use this period when Xiao Nanchen is hurt by Xia Qiqi to comfort him and move him. This way, I can successfully break up Xia Qiqi and Xiao Nanchen, and then we can be with each other."
Nie Ziming shook his head.
Gu YanXuan was thinking too simply.
He said, "It's not that easy. Xiao Nanchen used so much effort to get her, Xia Qiqi, to be with him. He won't just let go so easily. If I take the initiative to pursue Xia Qiqi back, it doesn't necessarily mean I can really get her back. To put it bluntly, it's easy for Xiao Nanchen to deal with me now if he wants to. The only reason why he has been holding back is because he is afraid Xia Qiqi will hate him."
Gu YanXuan's face darkened slightly.
"Let's think about this matter from a long-term perspective," Nie Ziming seemed to have backed down too. In fact, Gu YanXuan didn't really have a good method. "First confirm the cooperation, then think about how we can unite against the outside world!"
"Good," Gu YanXuan readily agreed.
After all, impatience for quick success and instant benefit was not a good thing.
"The fewer people who know about our cooperation the better," Nie Ziming reminded.
"Don't worry, no one will know except my brother,"
Nie Ziming nodded.
His eyes looked left and right to make sure no one was paying attention to them.
Only then did Nie Ziming slightly turn around and leave.
Gu YanXuan watched Nie Ziming's back and turned directly toward the back garden.
At this moment.
There were also many people coming and going in the hall.
An Nuan had been standing by her father's side all this time, greeting the coming and going guests.
Tonight's An's anniversary celebration was very grand.
In addition to many business leaders in the business community who were invited to attend, there were also many top family officials stationed in Qing City. Almost half of the upper class had come.
"Jinghuai, you are now developing relationships among the top families. I'll introduce you to some people from the Ministry of Politics that Dad used to have good relationships with. Come with me." Saying that, An Yanyuan took Ye Jinghuai away.
For prominent families, although they were not deeply connected with the real top families, the local stationed officials of top families still had close contacts.
It was normal for her dad to have some connections.
An Nuan watched their backs and inexplicably felt a little angry.
Who was really her dad's biological daughter in the end? He just took Ye Jinghuai away like this and left her here. How awkward was that?!
"Nuan Nuan." Li YaJu called her.
An Nuan looked back.
"Your grandma made trouble again yesterday," Li YaJu said.
When it came to Wen QingCui.
Obviously neither of them was in a good mood.
"Don't worry, I know how to deal with her,"
"Your uncle has been imprisoned, and I heard that all his assets have been confiscated. Once your grandma runs out of money to use, she will definitely make trouble again."
"No matter how much trouble she causes, she can't cause too big of a mess. After all, the media unanimously stands on our side now. Even if my grandma really suffers injustice and goes to the media to expose it, no media will be willing to write her news. She can't make waves anymore." An Nuan was very certain.
Li YaJu naturally believed in her daughter too.
She increasingly believed in her outstanding ability.
"By the way, Mom," An Nuan suddenly thought of something.
Li YaJu was surprised, "What's the matter?"
"I think Grandma has suffered losses from me and Dad, so she is extremely likely to come to you. You can't go soft on her," An Nuan reminded, "Now we need to teach Grandma a lesson. Otherwise, how could she think she's invincible!"
"Okay. I won't be a doormat."
An Nuan smiled slightly.
She was also very gratified by her mother's transformation.
In her previous life, her whole family avoided conflicts and swallowed insults everywhere, and in the end their family was destroyed and everyone died.
In this life, she would never allow her family to follow in their footsteps again.
Her eyes moved slightly.
At that moment, she saw An Xiao and An Hao.
She didn't expect that they would take the initiative to come here.
Weren't they afraid it would be awkward because of what happened with their father?
"Are An Hao and An Xiao behaving themselves in the company?" Li YaJu had obviously seen them too.
"No. But because they can't defeat me, there's nothing to fear."
"You can't let your guard down either." Li YaJu exhorted.
"I know."
"Some of my friends have arrived. I’m going over there." Li YaJu looked over to one side.
Ever since the banquet for her mother's 50th birthday, her mother had gained a place in high society, and it was a very high level too.
Naturally, she also made some friends.
They were all actively fawning on her.
In Ni Lan's eyes, her face was extremely ugly to look at.
Back then, she was the sweetheart that everyone in this group of upper-class women desperately tried to please. But now, she was suddenly overshadowed by Li YaJu.
Even.
She had deliberately dressed up today, wanting to dazzle everyone.
But she was outshone again by the noble and elegant purple gown Li YaJu was wearing.
Compared to Li YaJu, Ni Lan gave people the feeling of being vulgar and petty.
She completely lacked Li YaJu’s elegance and grace.
The more she looked, the angrier she got.
Ni Lan couldn't help but say to Gu Yan Sheng next to her, "You figure out a way by all means to bring down the An family. I want them to not even be able to hold their heads high in front of me!"
At this moment, Gu Yan Sheng's eyes were also on An Nuan, who was greeting guests at the banquet.
This woman was dressed very simply, yet she was still so dazzling to the eye.
He was even the first person to see her when he walked into the banquet hall.
