Chapter 122: FGH’s Mysterious CEO
The PR department, thinking it was following orders from higher-ups, quickly cleared the FGH official Weibo account’s following list and sent the login credentials to Wu Yong. Wu Yong immediately forwarded them to Gu Chuan.
Logging in, Gu Chuan noticed the account ID displayed as “FGH Group Official Weibo” and frowned slightly. Why had Wu Yong sent the company’s account details? However, upon seeing the empty following list, his frown disappeared.
During his dangerous days, a friend once had a fight with his celebrity girlfriend because a newly created Weibo account automatically followed the rival of his girlfriend, leading to a long cold war between them. Gu Chuan didn’t want his girl to experience any unhappiness, so he had specifically reminded Wu Yong to avoid auto-following when setting up the new account.
Now, whether it was a new account or an old one, as long as there were no unwanted follows, it was fine. Gu Chuan searched for Jiang Mi’s name in the search bar, clicked on her profile, and saw the first post was a retweet of the show’s Weibo. He retweeted it as well and then carefully followed her account.
Instantly, his previously empty following list now had a single entry—Jiang Mi.
Typically, corporate official Weibo accounts don’t get much attention. However, FGH was about to launch a new beauty product, and many popular young actresses were vying to be the spokesperson. Naturally, their fans were trying to get the attention of the “golden sponsor” by posting praises and photos of their idols on the official account.
As soon as Gu Chuan retweeted, many people noticed:
FGH employees were in an uproar. Some speculated in group chats that someone might be using the account to follow a celebrity, while others contacted the tech department to reclaim the account. Amidst the chaos, the PR director was extremely anxious. Just two minutes ago, the operations manager requested the account credentials, and now, the official Weibo was retweeting celebrity posts. Was this real life, or had someone lost their mind in pursuit of beauty?
The PR director quickly called Wu Yong, “Hello, Wu, can you explain—”
“Don’t say anything. I need a moment.”
“???”
Wu Yong had anticipated that Gu Chuan would retweet a Weibo post—after all, that was the point of getting the account details. But he didn’t expect Gu Chuan to also follow Jiang Mi. Now, with only Jiang Mi in the following list, the favoritism was glaringly obvious. But Wu Yong had no right to question it.
FGH was Gu Chuan’s brainchild, and all its employees, including Wu Yong, were working for him. Who were they to dictate the boss’s actions? Moreover, Gu Chuan hadn’t done anything to harm the company; he was merely showing affection to his wife.
Yes, Wu Yong now realized how wrong he had been before. This wasn’t about repaying a favor; it was about cherishing her deeply!
Wu Yong, filled with complex emotions, said, “The account wasn’t hacked. Tell the staff to leave it alone.”
The PR director was taken aback, “But Wu, the official Weibo represents the company’s image. This is very serious. Doesn’t this set a bad precedent?”
Although his words were cautious, Wu Yong could sense the underlying accusation—that Wu Yong was risking the company’s image for the sake of a woman.
Wu Yong felt like he was choking on his own frustration. He wanted to explain but couldn’t reveal Gu Chuan’s identity. Even though Gu Chuan didn’t seem to be hiding it anymore, it wasn’t Wu Yong’s place to make it public. In the end, he had to swallow his words and take the blame.
“I said leave it alone. If there’s a problem, I’ll take responsibility. That’s it.”
Wu Yong hung up the phone hastily, unable to muster the energy to continue the conversation. The PR director was shocked. Wu Yong had a president above him, and yet he was acting so recklessly. Was he trying to get fired?
Moreover, the PR director wondered if Wu Yong had a strange hobby, as the female celebrity in the video was being intimate with another man!
Back at the filming site, the guests who had been following the Weibo activity were equally bewildered.
Confusion! Pure, unprecedented confusion!
Could Gu Chuan really be the president of FGH? That seemed impossible—it was too outrageous! But if he wasn’t, how did he have the login details for the official Weibo?
Only Jiang Mi remained calm, sitting beside Gu Chuan, guiding him step by step, holding his hand to tap the gray little heart icon on the screen.
“Click here to like my post.”
Gu Chuan responded with a deep “Mm,” following the pressure of her finger to tap the screen, turning the little heart into a bright, vibrant icon.
Jiang Mi was satisfied. “Your first like should be for me.”
A subtle smile crossed Gu Chuan’s face, his deep, magnetic voice filled with indulgence, “They’re all for you.”
Not just the first like, but every like for the rest of his life would belong solely to Jiang Mi.
Jiang Mi felt a sweet warmth in her heart, then opened her own phone to give Gu Chuan a like in return. But just as she was about to, an annoying voice interrupted.
“Gu Chuan, you’re just a minor shareholder in FGH. Using the company’s official Weibo without permission—taking without asking is theft. Isn’t that inappropriate?” Shen Mingxuan deliberately emphasized the word “minor.”
Shen Mingxuan had learned earlier that Gu Chuan was connected to FGH, but he assumed Gu Chuan was just a minor shareholder. Impressive, but still not comparable to the mighty Shen family. Yes, Shen Mingxuan naturally considered himself the future head of the Shen family and used this imagined status to belittle Gu Chuan.
Gu Chuan gave him a cold glance, “This is my Weibo account.”
Shen Mingxuan refused to believe it, feigning knowledge, “That’s impossible! Gu Chuan, you’re just a minor shareholder. You might get some dividends, but that doesn’t mean you can freely use FGH’s resources, let alone claim that FGH belongs to you!”
Gu Chuan’s voice was cold and steady, “FGH is mine.”
Those few simple words hit the guests, crew, and millions of viewers like a ton of bricks.
FGH had a market value of hundreds of billions, encompassing various fields—finance, securities, real estate, fashion, home goods, retail, hotels, and more. A group with assets comparable to a mid-sized country.
And now, Gu Chuan claimed that FGH was his.
This meant Gu Chuan was the mysterious CEO behind FGH, a true billionaire tycoon!
Everyone stared at Gu Chuan, their gazes filled with shock, disbelief, and deep-seated fear.
But there were also two particularly intense gazes.
One was from Bai Ruoruo, who was both excited that she hadn’t misjudged Gu Chuan and bitterly regretted that this top-tier man was already claimed by Jiang Mi!
The other was from Shen Mingxuan. No, this couldn’t be true. He was supposed to be the most influential and prominent guest on the show. Gu Chuan had to be bluffing for show; Shen Mingxuan was determined to expose his lies!
“You say FGH is your company. What proof do you have to back that up?”
