Chapter 108

Gu Xin was the first to react, rushing over to pull Gu Jiangkuo, "What are you doing?"

The servants also swarmed over and tried to stop him. If Gu Jiangkuo seriously challenged these people, they would definitely not stand a chance of winning. However, Gu Jiangkuo did not take it seriously and was stopped by them reluctantly. He calmed down while another group of servants went to clean up the broken glass on the ground. Fortunately, it was tempered glass, so even if it broke, it would not cut anyone.

"Akuo! He is your uncle. How can you be so disrespectful to your elders?" Old Master Gu lectured him sternly.

"Uncle?" Gu Jiangkuo panted and scoffed, "Then why does he have the same name as my dad?"

Although he was stubborn and confrontational, Gu Jiangkuo had been secretly paying attention to the expression of the old man of the Gu family. Although the old man was angry, his vigilance had faded a lot.

This way the goal is achieved.

Gu Jiangkuo continued: "His name is Gu Min, so what's my father's name?"

"That's enough!" said Old Master Gu. "The name change was my decision. It's none of your uncle's business. Apologize to your uncle now!"

"Apologize?" Gu Jiangkuo moved closer to Gu Min, but Uncle Gu was weak to begin with, and was frightened by the kick just now. As soon as the man approached him, his face turned pale and he fainted.

Gu Jiangkuo: “………………”

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Call a doctor!" Aunt Gu kept calling for help.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jiangkuo also witnessed the soft power of the Gu family. In less than two minutes, a group of medical staff came trotting in, even faster than an ambulance.

Uncle Gu was truly a glass man, easily shattered by a touch. He wasn't feigning illness; his blood pressure and pulse were both abnormal. The doctor quickly concluded, "He was overly frightened. He's not in danger of death, but he needs oxygen immediately and further examination."

Gu Xin glared at Gu Jiangkuo with resentment in his eyes.

"..." Gu Jiangkuo touched his nose awkwardly and stepped aside. Who knew his father was so fragile and timid that he could faint from being scared?

Having said that, if it weren’t for Old Man Gu who went to great lengths to raise him, he probably wouldn’t have lived to adulthood, let alone given birth to Gu Xin.

The scene was in chaos, everyone was surrounding Uncle Gu, and no one cared about Gu Jiangkuo anymore. Gu Jiangkuo simply ignored them and slipped away to the kitchen alone.

——He missed breakfast and hasn't eaten anything yet.

No matter what, Gu Jiangkuo is now the "young master". Without the master's order, the servants in the house dare not treat him harshly. It is already a dereliction of duty for the young master to come to the kitchen in person. Naturally, they dare not make things difficult for him as he can take whatever he wants to eat.

Gu Jiangkuo didn't hesitate and took two large plates of kaya toast and bak kut teh as if he was at a buffet restaurant, and took them to a restaurant far away from the group to enjoy them.

The flavors of Singapore cuisine are relatively light and do not suit Gu Jiangkuo's appetite for heavy oil and spicy food. However, as long as there is meat, he will be satisfied. The servants stared in amazement as Master A Kuo ate three bowls of Bak Kut Teh in one breath before slowly walking out. They were all quite surprised, but they did not forget to run to Gu Zhonghong to report.

"Did he really leave after eating?" Mr. Gu was also a little bit unbelievable.

This child, does he have such a good mentality?

Servant: "Yes, sir, we sent someone to follow him. He should be heading towards the casino."

"Grandpa!" Gu Xin was still angry. "My dad is in this state, and he's actually in the mood to eat? And then he goes out to play after eating?!"

Gu Zhonghong dismissed the servants and then said slowly, "Isn't this a good thing? He's not making any progress and doesn't know how to treat people. He won't pose any threat to you in the future."

"But," Gu Xin pursed her lips, "Grandpa, if you don't want him to come back...if you don't like him, why don't you just let him go? Why do you have to--"

Gu Zhonghong gave his grandson a stern look.

He naturally wouldn't tell Gu Xin the real reason, but just used his elder's authority and said, "He is your brother after all."

.

For more than ten days, Jiang Nuo was increasingly busy, spending the whole day either at the group headquarters or on business trips to negotiate lithium mining matters. Now it has been basically finalized. President Jiang gave up on swallowing up the smaller company and instead invested in a leading domestic mining company, Xingxu Metal Technology Co., Ltd., as a major shareholder.

As the second largest shareholder, he naturally has the decision-making power of the board of directors, but he cannot completely control its development. However, the company is large enough, and from a long-term development perspective, the profits obtained are far more profitable than holding a small company. Mr. Jiang has been busy with various procedures recently.

But even though he is so busy, Mr. Jiang still finds time to visit each branch.

In the eyes of ordinary management and employees, CEO Jiang is becoming a workaholic. If they continue to work like this, it's not a dream to one day become a Fortune 500 company. It's all good, but it's too much of a waste of middle-level leadership. With the big boss working so hard, the middle-level managers in the branch offices must also be working overtime! Apart from anything else, preparing for the inspection is already stressful enough.

However, Jiang Xia, who was preparing for the inspection, was the only one who could see the crux of the problem at a glance.

"Our boss isn't acting like a workaholic, he's just being empty."

"Really? Mr. Jiang, why is the big boss so empty?"

Of course it’s because my boyfriend left and I have no sex life.

Jiang Xia felt that this wasn't a solution. With CEO Jiang constantly checking on the work, even if he wasn't tired, the middle managers would be exhausted. So, while the employees were respectfully explaining the latest technological breakthroughs in formulas to their boss, Miss Jiang smiled and said, "CEO Jiang, I heard that CEO Gu is on a business trip recently?"

The Gu family kept the news under wraps so tightly, and Jiang Nuo knew the situation well enough. He didn't bother to tell anyone and didn't leak any information. He only told everyone that Mr. Gu had gone abroad for an inspection due to company business reasons, and had received an offer for further studies at a foreign university, with an uncertain return date.

Jiang Nuo said "hmm" to show his agreement.

Jiang Xia continued, "It's not good for a relationship to last too long when a couple is separated. Have you ever thought about going to see him?"

Jiang Nuo: “…”

Seeing President Jiang's hesitation, Jiang Xia pressed on: "You haven't had a single day off since you took office. Wouldn't it be great to take this opportunity to go abroad and have some fun?"

It’s not impossible.

I've been so busy these past few days, how could I not have thought of this? However, there's so much going on at the company that I'm afraid I won't be able to find a long vacation. Flying over to meet for a day or two is no problem.

Before Gu Jiangkuo left, he had thought that it would be okay if it faded away naturally, and... Mr. Gu not only had good physical strength, but also had high-end hardware. It was indeed a bit too much for his ordinary body to handle.

But I didn't expect that once I really left, I couldn't help missing him. I would think of him when I saw the empty office, and I would think of him when I saw the empty house. In order to avoid missing him all day, I would deliberately increase my workload and refuse to let myself have any free time.

So, even if...even if it hurt a little at that time, he was willing to endure it. As long as he could see him again.

"Let's talk about it after we finish this." Mr. Jiang acted like a cold and domineering boss who didn't care about love affairs at all, and said, "There are too many things to do in the company. I really can't get away."

Despite saying this, President Jiang hurriedly concluded his inspection today and immediately returned to the headquarters.

After Jiang Xia saw his boss off, he happily posted a message in the "Jiang Group Executives Group" (Jiang Nuo wasn't in this group): "Great news! President Jiang is going to be busy!"

Soon someone followed:

"Isn't Mr. Jiang busy enough?"

"What's going on? Does President Xia have inside information? Is there a new project at headquarters?"

Jiang Xia: "It has nothing to do with work. After my persuasion, our boss decided to work hard and put all his energy into the most important work."

"Xingxu Metal?"

"What are the five new financial products?"

Jiang Xia: "All of them, I guess." If he wanted to take his vacation in time, he had to finish the backlog of work, and these items were probably on the list.

Jiang Xia: "Anyway, you should thank me. President Jiang will not be inspecting the branch and project departments in the near future."

Then, Mr. Xia received a long list of three-piece work emoticons such as "applause", "handshake", and "fist bow".

It can be seen how much Mr. Jiang has been working overtime recently and how much people are angry about him.

Mr. Jiang finally managed to find a moment to relax and write a message in the chat box, "When are you free? I'll come to visit you in Singapore."

But he didn't send it out immediately. Mr. Jiang stared at his phone and thought: Will writing like this make me seem too proactive?
