Chapter 163 Brother-in-law
"What exactly are you worried about?" Lu Fengyang asked.
Lu Fenghe looked at him and asked, "What do you think I'm worried about?"
Lu Fengyang found it somewhat ridiculous and was about to speak when the floor-to-ceiling glass door of the balcony was opened.
Gu Suixing leisurely slipped out in his electric wheelchair. "What's wrong with my two brothers-in-law?"
Lu Fenghe frowned.
Lu Fengyang turned his head to look elsewhere, "You can't beat Gu Jingdong, so let me take over this project."
Lu Fenghe: "Don't even think about it."
Lu Fengyang gritted his teeth, "Now Gu Jingdong doesn't even notify us when he holds meetings. Are you determined to see the Lu family out of the picture before you're satisfied?"
Gu Suixing was, after all, surnamed Gu, and Lu Fenghe was unwilling to talk about it in front of him. He said in a low voice, "If it really comes to that, there's nothing wrong with being an investor."
Gu Suixing immediately guessed what the two brothers were arguing about.
The Gu family is the main party in charge of this project. When he was in charge of this project at the Gu family before, he had to give face to his future brother-in-law, and the cooperation between the two companies was relatively amicable.
Now, Gu Jingdong has taken over as the person in charge of this project, and Gu Jingdong is not going to be polite to the partner company.
It now appears that the Lu family is being marginalized in this collaboration.
Gu Suixing smiled and said, "It's definitely more suitable for Second Brother to go for this project."
It's not that Lu Fenghe's abilities are inferior to Lu Fengyang's, but Lu Fengyang is simply more cunning and ruthless than Lu Fenghe.
Lu Fenghe: "The selection and purchase of materials have already been decided and cannot be changed. The design team has always been from Gu's side, so it won't have any impact even if we don't go."
Gu Suixing nodded, "What my elder brother said makes sense."
Lu Fenghe and Lu Fengyang: "..."
Lu Fenghe's eyelids twitched, and he reminded Gu Suixing, "Your older brother is Gu Jingdong!"
He was the culprit in their brothers' dispute.
Gu Suixing disagreed and didn't take the bait. He simply said, "I support sending Second Brother over. If Eldest Brother is worried, I'll transfer Assistant Fang over tomorrow to assist Second Brother for a while."
Before Lu Fenghe could speak, Gu Suixing added, "As for my elder brother, I heard that the newly appointed Deputy Director Zhao of the Housing and Construction Bureau really enjoys playing golf. It just so happens that the club I invested in recently opened, so you could invite him over for a few rounds."
That Deputy Director Zhao is no ordinary person; most of his family members are in politics. Being on good terms with such a person would bring endless benefits.
Connections are precious; Lu Fenghe is the only one I have. Gu Suixing wouldn't even bother to make connections with others.
Lu Fenghe could guess what Gu Suixing meant. His eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent.
Lu Fengyang glanced at Gu Suixing and said, "It's settled then."
After a long pause, Lu Fenghe finally nodded.
After resolving the conflict between his two brothers-in-law, Gu Suixing turned the handle and spun the wheelchair around in front of them. "Does this wheelchair look good?"
The electric wheelchair was just an ordinary wheelchair; neither of the Lu brothers saw anything particularly interesting about it.
Gu Suixing continued, "It was a gift from my fiancée."
That smug expression seemed to say, "I have a fiancée, and you don't."
There was a two-second silence on the balcony.
Lu Fengyang: "...Get lost."
Lu Feng simply ignored him.
Gu Suixing assumed the two single guys were just jealous and leisurely drove away in his electric wheelchair.
He was so full of confidence, as if he were sitting not in an electric wheelchair, but in a Bugatti.
The young master, who had just finished showing off, returned to the living room and immediately felt lonely.
His Sailor Moon and Master Roshi sons are upstairs.
The wheelchair his fiancée gave him as a gift couldn't help him climb the stairs.
With no other option, Gu Suixing had to take her laptop and go back to her room.
Lu Fenghe and Lu Fengyang went to visit the old man in his room again, and then left with Lu Yinghui and Dou Meijuan.
As the car noise faded into the distance, the old house returned to silence.
Gu Suixing was having a video conference in his room when the door was pushed open a crack, and Lu Fengqing peeked in.
"Are you busy?"
Gu Suixing raised her hand in a gesture to stop them, and the others in the video immediately stopped talking. "We're in a meeting, what's wrong?"
“Rui Rui keeps asking to play with you.” Lu Fengqing glanced at the notebook on Gu Suixing’s lap. “You’re busy, I’ll play with him for a while.”
Lu Fengqing quietly closed the door.
Gu Suixing withdrew his gaze. "Continue."
Because of this car accident, Gu Suixing hasn't been able to handle company matters for several days, and now they've all piled up.
The video conference lasted for a full three hours before it ended.
Company executives gradually left the video chat, leaving only Assistant Fang in the end.
Gu Suixing rubbed his temples and whispered, "Lu Fengyang will be transferred to Gu's Group tomorrow. Put aside what you're doing and go help Lu Fengyang for a few days."
Assistant Fang had been following him closely and knew everything about the project.
Although he can't offer direct help, with Assistant Fang around, Lu Fengyang will be able to take over the project much faster and avoid many pitfalls.
Assistant Fang nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment, and then awkwardly reminded him, "Mr. Gu, Fang Ning is still being held at the police station."
Gu Suixing's expression turned slightly cold. "Stay here and reflect on your actions."
What could Assistant Fang say? She could only silently light a candle for her cousin.
Gu Suixing: "Have you found out who those people are?"
Assistant Fang straightened his expression and said, "It's a human trafficking organization from Europe. The police are already investigating this group."
Gu Suixing's face was extremely cold, his eyes seemed to be frozen, and his hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists.
I knew the old man was a dirty old man, but I never imagined he was involved in human trafficking.
"The blond man still refuses to reveal his employer." Assistant Fang paused, "And Fang Ning's side..."
Gu Suixing asked coldly, "What does Assistant Fang think I should do?"
Assistant Fang replied without hesitation, "As you command."
Gu Suixing gave him a meaningful look, "The old man has also done you a favor."
Assistant Fang gave a wry smile.
What favors or kindnesses? He owes his success to his uncle's support, but it's mostly due to his own hard work. He has never received any favors from Gu Jinhong.
Gu Jinhong's trusted steward, surnamed Fang, was Fang Hang and Fang Ning's uncle. Steward Fang had no children of his own. When Fang Hang and Fang Ning were very young, their parents either passed away or remarried. Steward Fang took pity on them and took them in.
Gu Jinhong placed Fang Hang by Gu Suixing's side in his early years in order to protect his grandson and also to keep an eye on him.
The moment Fang Hang decided to surrender to Gu Suixing, he made up his mind that he would never work for Gu Jinhong again.
As for Fang Ning, while Gu Jinhong was instructing her to kidnap Lu Fengqing, she also acted on her own initiative. Regardless of the circumstances, as long as Fang Ning exposes Gu Jinhong, he will definitely not get away with it. The question is whether Gu Suixing is willing to put aside his own family for the greater good.
Assistant Fang sighed inwardly.
Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes. One is his grandfather who has doted on him since childhood, and the other is the woman he loves. Letting her go would be unfair to their love, while severely punishing her would be unfair to their family. If he were in his shoes, he wouldn't know what to do either.
