"Feng Che agreed to let you be the spokesperson?" Mother Ming asked with some doubt. "Didn't you become the spokesperson for Gu's Yuntang Heshe? Why would you become the spokesperson for our family's group?"

"Because I'm the spokesperson for our family's cosmetics! Oh, that's way too far. Mom and Dad, please tell me!" Ming Jiayi said coquettishly.

Ming's mother placed the porridge on the table, then sat down beside Ming's father's bed and looked at Ming Jiayi, saying...

"Didn't I tell you? Your dad and that Uncle Bai collaborated on a huge project before. If that project had succeeded back then, it would have surpassed the Gu family."

However, at the very last and most crucial moment of the project, your Uncle Bai leaked the core secrets to the Gu family. The Gu family secured the project ahead of time and subsequently split the profits with Baizong Group…”

"The Gu family? Is Gu Shaojin really that shameless?" Ming Jiayi answered subconsciously.

Mother Ming smiled gently and shook her head. "No, back then it was still Gu's father who managed the Gu family business."

"Oh...and then what happened? Didn't Dad report Uncle Bai?"

“What’s the point of reporting him? That little thief Bai Shihang is hiding so well, he hasn’t shown any evidence at all. I have no proof whatsoever, so I can only swallow this bitter pill.” Ming’s father said in a deep and distressed tone.

Ming Jiayi tilted her head, looking bewildered, and asked, "So that's when our family started..."

Ming's mother and father both fell silent and did not speak again.

This reaction is quite obvious...

So the Ming family is gradually declining, and the Bai and Gu families deserve a lot of credit for that?

Ming Jiayi returned to her room and thoroughly investigated Bai Shihang.

She just didn't believe it. How could something you did not leave behind even the slightest clue?

Ming Jiayi searched for a long time but couldn't find any information about that project from a few years ago, but she gained an unexpected reward.

He discovered in Bai Shihang's detailed personal profile that Bai Li was actually Bai Shihang's only son.

However, Bai Li had previously stated that he studied medical school in college and even interned at a hospital for a period of time before switching careers to enter the entertainment industry.

According to the usual pattern, Bai Li must have a bad relationship with his father, right?

Maybe we should ask Bai Li; what he'll say will be different...

That's not right either.

He probably doesn't want to talk about his father because he doesn't have a good relationship with him, and he might not even know what good things his father has done.

Why don't we start investigating this matter by starting with the Gu Group?

I'm going to the Gu family this afternoon anyway, so I'll "casually" ask Gu Shaojin about it.

Bai Li might not know about these things because he doesn't run a family business, but Gu Shaojin knows them 100%.

…

As soon as Ming Jiayi finished her lunch, she went to the Gu Group. At this moment, she was sitting in the reception room, leisurely drinking water and scrolling through her phone.

The staff notified Zhang Yun and Luca as soon as she went in and sat down; they should be arriving soon.

I have to go to Gu Shaojin's office to say hello to him later.

"Ahhh, hurry up, hurry up!"

"Wait a minute! I'm going to get some water!"

Excited shouts came from outside the meeting room.

Ming Jiayi put down her phone and looked outside, not understanding what had happened.

"I want some too! You've thought of everything! I want to bring water to President Gu too!"

"No way, Mr. Gu can't possibly drink all that water. You can't steal my idea."

Just as Ming Jiayi was about to go out and ask what had happened, Zhang Yun and Luca walked in from outside.
