When Gu Yan Sheng received a call from Gu Yan Xuan, he was sitting in his office, feeling restless.
Early this morning, he had no choice but to talk to Beers about the situation with An Nuan. The e-commerce project had been delayed, and Beers was the one suffering the greatest loss. Beers would definitely try to mediate the situation, and An Nuan should give in to Beers' face.
But it was just his speculation, and he couldn't be sure.
He dared not draw any conclusions about An Nuan at this point.
This woman was so powerful that no one could control her.
Gu Yan Sheng had been anxious all along. When he saw the incoming call, he quickly answered, "Did An's Group call?"
"They just called, asking you to go to An's Group within half an hour to discuss the e-commerce project. They won't wait if you're late."
"Alright." Gu Yan Sheng was still somewhat excited. He urgently instructed Gu Yan Xuan, "You go to An's Group immediately, and don't be a minute late, you hear me?!"
"Brother, does An Nuan deserve such a great favor?"
"Haven't you learned your lesson yet?!" Gu Yan Sheng instantly flew into a rage. He didn't have time to waste with Gu Yan Xuan at that moment. "If you're late, don't blame me for being impolite!"
He hung up the phone abruptly.
Gu Yan Sheng also hurriedly left his office.
Just as he walked out, he collided with a man head-on.
Ye Jinghuai frowned as he looked at Gu Yan Sheng in a flurry, and he casually smirked, "Has Young Master Gu seen a ghost? You look so flustered!"
Gu Yan Sheng steadied his emotions.
In all these years, he had never been so embarrassed during this period of time.
He glared fiercely at Ye Jinghuai.
Looking at the man whom he used to look down upon, standing before him now with such confidence and elegance, observing his disheveled appearance, Ye Jinghuai had a good idea of what Gu Yan Sheng was panicking about.
Most likely, An Nuan had relented and was willing to discuss the e-commerce project with him.
Although he hadn't been involved in this matter, he had Qin Jiang help him keep track of it, so if there was any need, he could provide immediate support.
Sure enough.
He had underestimated his wife.
Dealing with someone like Gu Yan Sheng was a piece of cake for her.
He chose to watch the fire from the other side of the river.
Ye Jinghuai lightly remarked to Gu Yan Sheng's back, "I heard that I'll be your direct superior from now on."
Gu Yan Sheng, in a hurry, suddenly paused his steps.
He turned around to look at Ye Jinghuai.
In the six months Ye Jinghuai had been away, Gu Yan Sheng had been continuously promoted. Because it had been done in a semi-secretive manner, the outside world knew little about it. Now, his position was the same as the one Ye Jinghuai had applied for initially.
Even if Ye Jinghuai returned, they would be equals.
"Due to my performance in Jiangcheng, I got a direct promotion from our superiors," Ye Jinghuai said in an indifferent tone that made Gu Yan Sheng almost lose his temper right then and there.
He endured and endured.
In the end, he said nothing and quickly left.
He sat in his own car and stepped on the accelerator, speeding away.
Subjected to endless humiliation at the hands of An Nuan, he never imagined that he would also be crushed by Ye Jinghuai.
He refused to accept it!
He couldn't bear it!
Fortunately, Gu Yan Sheng was a level-headed person.
He clearly knew that he had to prioritize dealing with the e-commerce project now, otherwise the Gu Corporation could be completely ruined.
He parked the car at An's Group.
While getting out of the car, he called Gu YanXuan, "Where are you?!"
"Parked."
"Hurry up, I'm waiting for you at the entrance!"
Gu YanXuan hung up the phone, her face filled with displeasure.
How could An Nuan have pushed her to this point?!
She had never suffered such great injustice in her life.
She had never been afraid of anyone.
But now she was forced to please An Nuan.
She angrily got out of the car and quickly headed to the entrance.
Gu Yan Sheng coldly glanced at Gu YanXuan and led her into the An's Group building.
Because they had made an appointment in advance, they went straight in.
Gu YanXuan had never been to An's Group before.
Upon entering, she was somewhat stunned by the grandeur of the An's Group.
She used to think that An Nuan was just a woman attached to her brother, an insignificant woman. She had never thought that An Nuan had any remarkable background or wealth. But now, walking in a lobby more magnificent than the Gu Corporation's, deep down in her heart, she felt a bit of fear towards An Nuan.
The elevator reached An Nuan's office floor.
Gu Yan Sheng approached Luo Si and said, "I'm looking for An Nuan."
"Please wait a moment." Luo Si was still polite.
She knocked on the door and entered An Nuan's office. "The Gu Corporation people have arrived."
"Let them in."
"Yes."
Luo Si exited and said, "An Nuan asked you to come in."
Gu Yan Sheng nodded slightly.
He still maintained proper workplace etiquette.
He knocked on An Nuan's office door.
An Nuan was sitting behind a large desk, wearing a professional suit. Her slender and tall figure immediately caught people's attention, coupled with her stunning face... An Nuan seemed to have her unique charm in any situation.
Gu Yan Sheng stared at her intently.
For the first time, he felt a real sense of distance between himself and An Nuan.
It seemed like this woman had already... surpassed him by a long shot.
He gritted his teeth inwardly.
He wouldn't let someone else's prestige diminish his determination.
Calmly, he walked with Gu YanXuan and approached An Nuan directly.
An Nuan set aside the documents she was handling and spoke to the intercom, "Luo, come in."
"Yes."
Luo Si entered respectfully.
An Nuan spoke directly, "The documents have been processed and should be archived by the General Affairs Department. Verify the information in the archives."
"Yes."
Luo Si left with a stack of documents.
After finishing her own work, An Nuan turned to Gu Yan Sheng and Gu YanXuan, who were standing in front of her, and said, "Please have a seat."
The two of them sat down.
Gu YanXuan found it difficult to accept.
Why was An Nuan now so superior in front of them?!
"Mr. Beers called me and said that you sincerely want to transfer the e-commerce platform to me." An Nuan maintained a businesslike demeanor.
Gu Yan Sheng took the materials that Gu Yan Xuan had prepared in advance and handed them to An Nuan. "This is the contract for the transfer of our Gu Corporation's e-commerce platform. You can take a look."
An Nuan took it and read it carefully.
She read it seriously.
She said, "Four billion?"
"That's the market valuation. There's an appraisal document here." Gu Yan Sheng said as he took it out and handed it to An Nuan.
An Nuan didn't even look at it.
She straightforwardly said, "I'm well aware of the market valuation. Originally, I was planning to acquire it for four billion as well. But as you know, everyone has emotions. After the unpleasantness we all went through the first time, you still want me to purchase it at the same price? Then who will compensate me for the grievances I suffered before?!"
