Chapter 514: Gift Giving

The spectators around have been watching the fire from the other side of the river since the verbal battle between Gu Ziheng and Luo Yan just started.

Although they appeared to be enthusiastic towards Luo Jinliang on the surface, they each had their own inner conflicts.

Most of them were just watching for fun when Gu Ziheng mocked the Luo family's secrets.

Some people even laughed at Luo Jinliang behind his back.

But now,

Everyone's attention shifted from the Luo family's scandal to Su Man.

Everyone put together the comments made by the Luo family father and daughter about Su Man, and when they looked at Su Man again, they felt that she was like a polluted flower.

What’s the point of being beautiful?

It's rotten from the root.

This was nothing to Suman.

She does not rely on other people's evaluation to live, nor does she care what others think of her.

But for Gu Ziheng, it was just the opposite.

Doing business depends entirely on word of mouth and reputation.

Now everyone knows that Gu Ziheng's woman is such a person, and it is difficult for everyone to trust Gu Ziheng.

You know, when wealthy children attend important banquets, they will only bring the person who is most likely to become their wife in the future as their female companion, and let her appear in front of everyone, so that his future wife can build up her network early.

The fact that Gu Ziheng brought Su Man here shows that he intends to marry her.

The Gu family has such an unbearable daughter-in-law, so they will have to consider more when cooperating with Gu Corporation in the future.

Su Man understood at this time.

This is Luo Yan’s main purpose today.

It would be too trivial to just embarrass them and make Gu Ziheng lose some of his immediate interests.

Luo Yan wanted to make sure that the Gu family would be criticized in the business world and even in the social circles in the future.

The culprit who caused the Gu family to be in this situation was Su Man.

Luo Yan not only wants to kill the Gu family, but also wants to alienate Gu Ziheng and Su Man, killing two birds with one stone.

Su Man didn't want to harm Gu Ziheng.

"Ziheng, I have no intention of deceiving anyone. There are some things I can't give you a definite answer now because I can't confirm it myself. Once the boss of Jinxuanmen comes, everything will be clear." Su Man said to Gu Ziheng.

These words were also clearly heard by others.

Luo Yan sneered: "Still struggling to survive. Do you think you can cover this up by being mysterious?"

Xiao Beisheng, who had been silent all this time, spoke unhappily:

"Is that enough?"

Luo Yan was stunned and speechless.

Gu Ziheng was also speechless.

Both sides looked at Xiao Beisheng, wondering which side he was trying to protect or which side he was trying to help.

But Xiao Beisheng looked gloomy, as if he didn't want to help either side.

"Can we discuss these private matters in private? I'm not interested in hearing your gossip; it's too noisy. Since the cooperation project belongs to the Luo family, instead of arguing here, the Gu family should think carefully about how to make up for the losses caused by their own mistakes."

Xiao Beisheng gave each of them fifty lashes, and the dispute on the scene was forced to stop.

In the reception room upstairs.

He told Bai Lan everything that had just happened in the banquet hall.

Eleven: "Madam, you didn't see how she pressed Su Man and Gu Ziheng in the banquet hall just now."

"Don't I know that when two parties have different positions, we can't just listen to one side of the story? I don't completely believe some of what Luo Yan said to me. I also have my own judgment."

"Then why are you still helping the Luo family father and daughter?" Eleven was indignant.

Bai Lan said, "Cooperating with the Luo family isn't for my own selfish desires. The Luo family and the director of the design institute were in cahoots, and the design institute won the bid at a high price, then secretly outsourced it. Luo Jinliang got this inside information and connected me with the design institute. He thought he was doing me a favor, but in fact, the design institute had already deducted most of the difference. Whoever takes this job at the design institute is a sucker. If it weren't for the opportunity to infiltrate the inside and gain access to more military and political insiders, I wouldn't have accepted this favor from the Luo family. Luo Jinliang certainly doesn't want to be a passing god of wealth, so I'm giving him some benefits. Although he's no longer in a position, he can still be of use."

Eleven suddenly realized: "So the reason you cooperated with the Luo family was not because of Luo Yan."

"Oh, what's Luo Yan? She and Su Man are fighting over and over, but it's just jealousy between women. I'm so bored that I want to watch them fight over a man?"

"You said before that when you saw Luo Yan, you thought of your daughter... I thought..."

"I want to find my daughter, but I haven't forgotten my mission. I haven't forgotten the twenty-one brothers who died in vain in our special agent vanguard team."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered planning for so many years.

Expand your business.

The forces gradually occupied the delta, and then, step by step, infiltrated back into the country, heading straight for the heartland.

Today, she has people working in all the important departments and agencies.

"The souls of the twenty-one innocent people who died tragically are always looking at me, waiting for me to clear their grievances and redress their wrongs..." A scarlet mist appeared in Bai Lan's eyes.

As if through the dust of time, she saw that year and that blood mist again.

Her comrades who had been with her day and night died tragically and cried out for help, but she was the only one who managed to survive.

They were loyal, but in return they were betrayed by the organization.

They never imagined that they would die not from the enemy's ammunition but from their own hands after charging into battle.

Not only that, he was also accused of being a traitor...

lobby.

The atmosphere, which had finally calmed down, was stirred up again.

The main entrance of the banquet hall was already closed because the opening time had passed.

At this time, it was reopened.

The last latecomer to receive this kind of treatment was Luo Jinliang.

Everyone present was curious about who would come and they all looked over curiously.

I waited and waited, but no waiter came in to bring anyone in.

This made everyone even more curious.

At this time, a slight sound was finally heard outside the banquet hall.

Someone is coming.

Everyone listened attentively and felt that the sound was a little strange.

This sound didn't sound like someone walking, but rather...

More like a team.

The sound came from far away, and the footsteps of leather shoes left neat and orderly impressions on the smooth marble floor.

The person who came in at the gate was not an important person.

But they were waiters in uniform.

They were holding various gift boxes in their hands.

The gift boxes were opened one by one, and the items inside were displayed to everyone:

Jadeite with a lot of water head;

Hand-carved gold ornaments;

Diamonds with a strong sense of design;

Shopping lists from major luxury brands, folded up, each stack is as wide as a palm...

Everyone present was either rich or noble.

The products of these brands are their daily necessities and are nothing new to them.

Gold, jade and jadeite are all easily obtained.

But to gather all these things at once, each luxury brand has such a long consumption list, and few people here can do it.

No one would spend so much money at once just to buy these consumer goods.

If you have money but don’t invest it, isn’t that a waste?

Everyone whispered:

"Are these gifts from Madam Bai for us guests? Madam Bai is so polite!"

"Oh, I'm collecting bags from this brand, and I haven't gotten a few yet. It would be great if you could find them in there."

…

Everyone's discussion has not yet come to an end.

Then I saw these waiters carrying gift boxes and walking up to Suman.
