Gu Jueye had just hung up the phone when Yuan You knocked on the door and entered.

"Boss, Chairman Jin Wancai of Wanxin is here."

Jin Wancai?

Gu Jueye sneered. He had heard that this person was a nouveau riche who had made his fortune through hard work and cunning, and was ruthless. However, he was quite good at being opportunistic and flattering.

He must have come running over here so eagerly at this time because of his mistress.

However, given Jin Wancai's character, he will inevitably sacrifice the pawn to save the king and protect himself.

So the only reason he came here today is to clear himself of suspicion.

"Tell him to wait in the reception room."

"OK!"

Yuan You left the office, and Gu Jueye walked back to his desk.

He didn't rush to see Jin Wancai. Instead, he reached into the drawer beside him and took out a small red square box.

Upon opening the box, one finds a dazzling diamond ring.

This ring was ordered half a month ago. I originally planned to propose to her in country Y after the New Year when spring arrives.

Huo Xiuxiu's appearance, in another sense, became a catalyst for him and her.

*

Jin Wancai sat alone in the reception room.

He felt extremely uncomfortable, and would occasionally pick up the water glass on the coffee table to drink water in order to relieve the stress.

He secretly wondered why the lord had told him to wait here, but then didn't show up.

I racked my brains for a while, but I still couldn't figure out what this gentleman was thinking.

Half an hour later

The door to the reception room was pushed open.

Jin Wancai almost instinctively stood up from the sofa, his hands hanging helplessly at his sides.

"Lord...Lord!"

Gu Jueye remained silent and walked straight to the black single sofa next to him, where he sat down.

He casually rested his hands on the armrests, crossed his long legs, and even without saying a word, his aura was captivating.

Jin Wancai's eyes followed that handsome figure out of the corner of his eye, and he felt his heart pounding with nervousness.

Even though the other person was a young man, and he was a man in his fifties who had experienced many ups and downs, he felt inexplicably nervous in front of him.

"What brings you here today, Mr. Jin?" Gu Jueye's narrow phoenix eyes gave Jin Wancai a sharp glance.

Without him speaking, Jin Wancai didn't dare to sit down on his own initiative.

He turned around and looked at Gu Jueye face to face, his attitude very sincere.

"My lord, I've come here today to apologize. You must have heard about my relationship with Qiao Haiming. I never imagined that this woman had such ambitions, let alone that she would be so ruthless as to kidnap hostages for ransom. She's been such a good liar for the past two years, I never realized she was such a vicious woman."

After Jin Wancai finished speaking these words that he had prepared in advance, he cautiously looked at Gu Jueye.

Seeing that the other person's face was expressionless, Jin Wancai's heart skipped a beat.

“My lord, I truly knew nothing about what Qiao Haiming did this time. If I had known, I would have done everything in my power to stop her. I built Wanxin from scratch, and it took me half my life to accumulate this fortune. To be honest, there are many people in the capital who are more powerful and wealthy than me, Jin Wancai. How could I dare to do such a thing under the emperor's nose, unless I didn't want to continue living in the capital…”

Gu Jueye remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Jin Wancai's heart was in his throat. He had said so much, but why didn't this man react at all?

If I really offend this guy this time, the entire Wanxin Film City will be finished.

Thinking of all this, Jin Wancai hated Qiao Haiming so much he gritted his teeth.

"I heard you invested in the movie 'The Legend of 1900'?"

"ah?"

Jin Wancai was stunned, somewhat baffled by Gu Jueye's thought process.

Wasn't the person we were just discussing Qiao Hai Mei?

"Oh, yes... we did invest in this drama."

"Do you know who the female lead in the drama is?" Gu Jueye asked Jin Wancai, his eyes cold but his tone unusually calm.

Therefore, Jin Wancai had no idea what Gu Jueye was thinking.

She answered with increasing caution: "It is said that the female lead is divided into two stages, young and middle-aged. I only remember that the middle-aged female lead is played by Han Song-yeon. As for the young actress, I didn't pay much attention."

Wanxin Group invests in dozens of movies and TV series every month, and also owns cinemas and shopping malls.

These decisions are all made by the leadership; he basically just reviews them and then signs and stamps them.

So when Gu Jueye suddenly brought up this movie, he really didn't remember it.

Gu Jueye tapped his long, slender fingers rhythmically on the armrest of the sofa a few times, then looked at Jin Wancai meaningfully.

"I've investigated Qiao Haiming's matter, and it really has nothing to do with you. Consider this a lesson for President Jin: keep your eyes open when choosing a mistress. Who knows what kind of person is lying next to you!"

Jin Wancai was covered in cold sweat. Upon hearing Gu Jueye's words, he silently wiped away the cold sweat with his hand, and his heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally slowly settled down.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

"I can't trust these women anymore. The prettier the woman, the more dangerous she is. That's absolutely true." Jin Wancai said this from the bottom of his heart.

Recalling Qiao Haiming's gentle and charming appearance in front of him, it was hard to imagine that she was actually a terrifying armed person who had taken people hostage at gunpoint. This damned idiot almost killed him.

Even after leaving the research institute, Jin Wancai's legs were still trembling.
