"I... I'm not going to endorse this anymore!!" Yang Fan pretended to flip the table.

Gong Chengjue was not in the mood to coax him. He stood up, straightened his collar, and said, "This is something only you and I should know."

"Doing good deeds anonymously?" Yang Fan scoffed.

Gong Chengjue merely glanced at him. "She won't let me interfere with her work."

And he wasn't just sitting idly by constantly interfering...

Okay, this is a classic case of "it smells so good," he would have intervened even if he saw it.

She would ask him for help for her friend, but she rarely spoke up about her own affairs.

Yang Fan said "Oh," and then added, "There's something I need to remind you of."

Gong Chengjue looked at him. "What is it?"

"If you hadn't come to me, I really wouldn't have dared to sign this endorsement." Yang Fan crossed his legs. "I should say I wouldn't have signed it."

Seeing that he was being mysterious, Gong Chengjue lost patience and said, "The reason."

"The higher-ups gave orders not to take on the task." However, Yang Fan was working alone, so he wasn't subject to much interference.

In other words, he is his own boss.

Gong Chengjue narrowed his eyes slightly. "Oh? The Su family?"

I already knew this before; it's not exactly new information.

"As you know, there are factions in the industry..." Yang Fan added, "but you should be prepared for that."

"Heh." Gong Chengjue didn't take such a trivial matter seriously at all.

The Su family is a military family, so they definitely have the final say on important matters, but they don't use too many connections on minor issues.

Everyone needs to do the math before making a decision, right?

Even if Chief Su dotes on his daughter, he would never joke about his family.

Seeing Gong Chengjue's nonchalant expression, Yang Fan could only remind him, "Don't take this lightly, Luo Ziqi is about to be blacklisted."

Upon hearing the name Luo Ziqi, Gong Chengjue frowned. "What kind of ban?"

Hasn't the matter already been resolved?

Yang Fan is in the entertainment industry, and people in the entertainment industry are well-informed, but he didn't know that Gong Chengjue had previously helped Luo Ziqi.

"Anyway, her backing can't beat the Su family. I heard it's someone from the General Administration..." Yang Fan didn't finish his sentence.

He shrugged. "The Su family has too powerful a background."

Gong Chengjue said nothing and walked straight out.

Yang Fan didn't know if Gong Chengjue had heeded his advice. If the Su family could exert pressure in the entertainment industry, then in the business world, there were plenty of businessmen who would give the Su family face.

How did Su Ziqing end up having such a falling out with the Su family? Just because they share the same surname, Su, and were one family five hundred years ago, shouldn't they be able to get along?

Gong Chengjue called Su Ziqing, but her phone was switched off.

Shutting down?

Why would she turn off her phone in broad daylight?

Then they called her company, but the people there said she hadn't returned...

Gong Chengjue got into the car with a cold expression. "Back to the company."

Luo Jinhan was confused. Why did Mr. Gong suddenly turn on her like this?

Several hours passed, and when it was time to leave work, Gong Chengjue still hadn't received a call back from Su Ziqing, and he immediately became worried.

She's not answering the phone, and the company isn't responding...

He immediately ordered Luo Jinhan to send someone to search for them.

Luo Jinhan was terrified. Had Miss Su been kidnapped?

This kind of thing could actually happen.

With a stern face, Gong Chengjue called Yang Fan, "Has Ziqing contacted you again after you broke up?"

Yang Fan was puzzled, but still replied, "Yes, I called her later and told her that I agreed to the endorsement and asked her to come and sign the contract, but she said she would have her assistant sign it."

"What time was it?" Gong Chengjue's voice turned cold.

Yang Fan paused for a moment, probably checking the call log, "11:21".

Gong Chengjue remained silent.

He left Yang Fan a little after 1 a.m.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yang Fan noticed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"I still can't get in touch with her," Gong Chengjue said with concern.

She has been out of contact for several hours...

"What?" Yang Fan was also shocked. "Has something happened?"

"I don't know." Gong Chengjue hung up the phone immediately.

He even considered using traffic video footage.

Could it be that they've already decided to take action against her? But his bet with his grandfather still has almost a year to go.

For the next year, Su Ziqing will only be his girlfriend and will not become his fiancée, so there is no need for them to do anything extra at this time.

Was it a deliberate attempt to belittle him?

Upon considering this possibility, Gong Chengjue's face turned icy, because it was not impossible.

The incident that happened to Gong Chengkun in Las Vegas has been attributed to him. Although he has joined the board of directors, it is easy and effective to use Su Ziqing to annoy him.

Gong Chengjue was deep in thought when the office door was suddenly pushed open.

"Second Young Master..." The secretary couldn't stop him in time.

Gong Chengkun went to work despite his injury, and since he wasn't in front of the old man, he didn't need to act like Mu.

He looked at Gong Chengjue, "What do you mean?"

Gong Chengjue looked at Gong Chengkun with cold eyes and said to his secretary, "You can go down now."

Gong Chengkun walked to his desk, placed his hands on the edge of the desk, and leaned forward slightly. "Grandpa approved my joining the board of directors. Big brother, are you deliberately trying to go against me?"

Gong Chengjue scoffed, "Your proposal was ridiculous to begin with. Is there anything wrong with me, as a board member, raising questions about it?"

“But the other directors all agreed!” Gong Chengkun clenched his fist. “You’re just afraid I’ll overshadow you, aren’t you?”

Gong Chengjue stared at him coldly.

Gong Chengkun took a deep breath to compose himself, his expression turning somewhat exasperated. "Unfortunately, what's the use of you trying to stop me like this?"

If Grandpa really only favored him, he wouldn't have let himself join the board of directors.

Therefore, the outcome is still uncertain.

Gong Chengjue clasped his hands together and looked at him, "Since it's useless, then use your real skills to steal it."

"Do you think the board members don't know my capabilities?" Gong Chengkun sneered.

“Gong Chengkun, if it weren’t for the sake of the family, I wouldn’t have gotten involved in the Las Vegas matter at all.”

"What a noble and righteous statement. If it weren't for you, would I have gotten hurt?" Gong Chengkun chuckled twice. "You've done both good and bad things, but you don't want to admit it?"

"Wasn't it your own scheme to suffer a bitter injury, which ultimately led to your entry into the board of directors of Xinji?" Gong Chengjue said sarcastically.

“…” Gong Chengkun remained silent.

"We can fight however we want, but if you touch someone you shouldn't..." Gong Chengjue's eyes held a warning, "you'll see what I do!"

"Heh." Gong Chengkun looked into his eyes and uttered only this one word with disdain.

"What, the woman you brought back has been touched?" Gong Chengkun thought of it almost immediately.

Seeing Gong Chengjue's sullen face, Gong Chengkun raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is it really so?"
