Seeing Gu Qing ignore him, Su Xi curled his lips secretly and muttered in a low voice: “Stingy guy.”

Gu Qing, the stingy ghost: “…”

He swore that he would never deal with the matters related to Su Xi in the future. Give it to Gu Bai!

Because the birthday banquet was held by Chen Kangshi, the top leader in City A, there were especially many people attending the banquet, and their status was extraordinary. Most of the people from the business and political circles came.

Power and money are inherently related to each other. Entering the banquet room and interlacing glasses and lights are all exchanges of interests.

Gu Xiao arrived not too early, but not too late either. He first went to the lounge to pick up Su Xi, and then went to the banquet room.

Gu Xiao’s status was there, he was a man of influence in the business world, a person who could turn his hands into clouds and rain in City A, so he became the center of attention as soon as he brought Su Xi in.

“Mr. Gu, welcome~”

Chen Kangshi saw Gu Xiao and came up to greet him with a smile.

Gu Xiao raised his arm, shook hands with the other person, and then sent blessings and gifts.

Chen Kangshi saw the birthday gift box held by Gu Qing and said with a smile, “Mr. Gu, it’s nice to be here. Why are you so polite?”

“That’s alright.” Gu Xiao replied politely, but his eyebrows did not look flattering.

Chen Kangshi was used to being praised by others, and Gu Xiao’s arrival gave him enough face, which made him very happy.

“Who is this…?”

Chen Kangshi saw Su Xi next to Gu Xiao, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes. This was a habit he retained on weekdays.

When Su Xi heard the other party asking about himself, he quickly turned his head and looked at Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao did not look at Su Xi, but raised his arms to hug Su Xi and said solemnly: “This is my fiancée Su Xi.”

With one sentence, it was like thunder exploding in the banquet hall.

Isn’t it said that Gu Xiao, the CEO of Gu Group, a leading company in City A, is single? ! Why hasn’t any news of the other party’s engagement been spread? !

When Chen Kangshi heard Gu Xiao’s words, he was surprised. When he looked at Su Xi again, the contempt in his heart disappeared, but he became more thoughtful.

He originally planned to introduce his daughter to Gu Xiao, but now I’m afraid that won’t be possible.

Su Xi on the side almost turned to stone when he heard Gu Xiao’s words.

Gu Xiao just said…what? !

fiancée?

Fiancee Su Xi?

Who is Su Xi? What’s my name?

What fiancée? What is a fiancée? What is the definition of fiancée? Does lover mean fiancée?

Has Gu Xiao been taken away?

Su Xi seemed to have been knocked out of his mind at this time, and his mind was in a mess. It wasn’t until Gu Xiao’s broad palm pressed on the top of his hair that he came back to his senses.

Su Xi tilted his head and met Gu Xiao’s gaze. The confusion in his eyes had not dissipated.

“This is Secretary Chen, say.”

Gu Xiao rubbed Su Xi’s head and introduced him to Su Xi.

Su Xi blinked, then quickly turned around to say hello to Chen Kangshi: “Hello, Secretary Chen!”

“Okay.”

Chen Kangshi smiled and responded to Su Xi’s greetings.

In the following time, Su Xi just followed Gu Xiao, following every step.

Although Gu Xiao was busy negotiating with others, he did not ignore Su Xi. He took a piece of snack from the snack table and handed it to Su Xi.

“Bored?” Gu Xiao asked.

Su Xi subconsciously took the snack, blinked, and then quickly shook his head: “No, it’s not boring to be with Mr. Gu!”

“Don’t flatter me.”

Gu Xiao scolded him, but there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Su Xi looked at the smile on Gu Xiao’s face and felt dazed for a moment.

At this moment, a man’s voice suddenly came from the side, “Brother, what a coincidence, you are here too?”

When Gu Xiao saw the person coming, the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared instantly.

Su Xi turned her head following Gu Xiao’s line of sight and saw Shen Qin at a glance.

The other party was holding a tall man on his arm. The man was about twenty-five or sixty-six years old. He had a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Gu Jingshuo naturally noticed Su Xi’s gaze. He lowered his eyes and raised his eyebrows, saying in surprise: “Brother, I came late and didn’t hear your introduction. Is this the fiancée you just mentioned? What’s his name?”

he was obviously very interested. It was a simple question, but Su Xi keenly heard a trace of contempt for him from this dialogue.

As for the identity of the man speaking, from hearing the other person calling Gu Xiao brother, he must be Gu Xiao’s half-brother.

Su Xi glanced at Shen Qin silently. The other person was standing together with Gu Xiao’s younger brother, and Shen Qin’s hand was still in the other person’s arm. At first glance, it was not an ordinary relationship.

He suddenly remembered that six months ago, when Shen Qin rushed to Gu Xiao’s villa and got angry at him, he mentioned Gu Jingshuo. If he was right, Shen Qin and this Gu Jingshuo were definitely not innocent.

“His name is Su Xi, and he is an artist from Jiayue.” Shen Qin on the side answered in time.

When Gu Jingshuo heard this, the corners of his mouth widened, and he said with a smile: “Oh? Really? Brother, since he is your fiancée, when will you take him home to show our father?”

Gu Xiao glanced at Gu Jingshuo and said in a cold tone: “When the time will be right, I will naturally bring him back.”

“That’s good. Mom will be very happy if she knows you have a partner. She was still talking about you two days ago, saying she wanted you to go back.” Gu Jingshuo continued.

Gu Xiao narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

When Su Xi heard Gu Jingshuo’s words, he turned around and looked at Gu Xiao’s face. Naturally, the mother the other person mentioned was not Gu Xiao’s biological mother. These words were undoubtedly disgusting to Gu Xiao.

Su Xi put down the snacks in his hand, moved closer to Gu Xiao, then put one hand on Gu Xiao’s arm, and held the other person’s fingers with the other hand.

Gu Xiao felt the softness of his palms. As he lowered his eyes, the coldness in his eyes dissipated a bit. He asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

“Mr. Gu, I want to eat a small cake. Can we go over there?” Su Xi raised his head, his voice was soft and a bit coquettish.

Gu Xiao paused for a moment, and finally agreed to the other party’s wishes: “Okay.”

After saying that, he took Su Xi’s hand and went to the other side of the snack table.

Gu Jingshuo, who was ignored as air, felt like he couldn’t hold in his breath. He wanted to get angry but had to give up because the situation was wrong. He only said in a low voice: “Gu Xiao, let’s wait and see!”

Shen Qin beside him, seeing Gu Jingshuo’s incompetent anger, felt a little tired for some reason. An illegitimate child is an illegitimate child and his nature is bad.

Can Gu Jingshuo really take control of the Gu Group smoothly?

Shen Qin’s eyes unconsciously looked towards Gu Xiao’s back. The tall man’s back was straight and straight. Just by standing there, fawning people rushed towards him one after another.

The indifference and nobility in the other party’s gestures were completely different from Gu Jingshuo’s condescending arrogance…

However, this man didn’t even look at him just now!

Shen Qin felt extremely uncomfortable, as if someone had slapped him hard in the face in public. It shouldn’t have been like this.

“Qinqin, what’s wrong?”

Gu Jingshuo turned around and saw that Shen Qin’s face was not very good. The anger on his face instantly turned to worry, and he lowered his head and asked.

Hearing this, Shen Qin quickly averted his eyes and smiled lightly at Gu Jingshuo: “I’m fine. I’ve been on a plane all afternoon and I’m a little tired.”

Gu Jingshuo: “I told you a long time ago that you don’t have to work so hard. What kind of resources do you need if you are with me? When I take control of the Gu Group in the future, everything will belong to you.”

Shen Qin finally felt better after hearing Gu Jingshuo’s words. The greatest advantage of Gu Jingshuo is this. Listens to him, and is easy to handle.

His face changed to a worried look, he looked at Gu Jingshuo and asked, “Jingshuo, after all, Gu Xiao has been in the Gu Group for more than one or two years. Are you really sure that you can get power?”

“That’s natural. My father is biased towards me. I have taken over two big projects in succession recently. Didn’t you see Chen Kangshi’s attitude towards me just now? When I met him in private some time ago, his attitude towards me was still lukewarm, but It was a 180-degree turn just now, money is such a good thing.”

Gu Jingshuo took the wine glass from the waiter next to him, clinked the glasses with Shen Qin, and said a little proudly.

Hearing this, Shen Qin nodded.

Indeed, Chen Kangshi’s status was there. If the other party supported Gu Jingshuo, then Gu Jingshuo would naturally have a great chance of winning.

The other party holds power. In City A, if you want sustained and long-term development, you must have a good relationship in this area.

Gu Jingshuo’s guess was correct, Chen Kangshi was indeed shaken.

Power and money are complementary to each other. In order to climb up the ladder, he naturally became friends with Gu Xiao, but as time went by, cracks would always appear in the chain of interests.

He once thought about turning Gu Xiao into one of his own, and wanted to introduce his daughter to him. In this way, the purely interest relationship would change, and then his future path would be smoother. However, he had hinted to Gu Xiao several times, but the other party seemed not to understand what he meant.

When Gu Jingshuo came to visit before, his attitude was lukewarm. After all, Gu Xiao still controlled the Gu Group. Instead of supporting an illegitimate child who didn’t know what the future would be like, he might as well continue to be on good terms with Gu Xiao. .

But today, Gu Xiao took his fiancée to such an occasion, which completely stopped him from giving his daughter to him for marriage. This made Chen Kangshi inexplicably unhappy.

And he recently heard that the old man of the Gu family seemed to be doting on this illegitimate son. Gu Xiao had worked so hard to pave the way for the World University project, but in the blink of an eye, the money-spinner project went into Gu Jingshuo’s pocket.

In this regard, Gu Xiao didn’t even say anything, which showed that the other party was not as strong as it appeared on the surface, and Gu Jingshuo also hinted to him that he had gradually begun to deprive Gu Xiao of the power, and the Gu Group would It will come into his hands little by little.

If things really develop in the direction Gu Jingshuo said, Chen Kangshi really needs to consider his future arrangements. After all, if he wants to move up, he needs the support of a strong financial resource, not an empty shelf.
