Chapter 16 You'll Die a Wrong Way
In summary, the announcement states that Gu Suixing will assume the position of CEO of the Gu Group.
As the saying goes, fortunes change every ten years. The once powerful and wealthy families of City A have diverged significantly. Today, the Huo and Tang families are steadily growing, the Lu family is facing bankruptcy, and only the Xie and Gu families are expanding their businesses. The Gu family has even held the title of the richest family in China for several consecutive years, and the gap between these families is widening.
He became the CEO of the Gu Group at a very young age.
With his abilities, I believe it won't be long before he has a seat on the board of directors of the Gu Group.
Lu Fengqing sighed.
The gap between her and him seems to be widening.

After Gu Suixing was recalled to China, it was entirely expected that he would take up the position of CEO of the Gu Group.
Surprisingly, on his first day in office, the heir apparent swiftly reshuffled the company's senior management, including many veterans who had served the company for decades. The entire day was filled with unease within the company, and the board of directors was in constant turmoil.
Top floor CEO office —
Gu Suixing hung up on Gu Jinhong's call for the third time and said to Assistant Fang, who was waiting at his desk, "Tell those old men on the board to come and talk to me directly if they have anything to say. Don't bother my grandfather."
After Assistant Fang finished speaking, he added, "Miss Qin just called and said that her father is free tomorrow evening and could meet with you."
Gu Suixing: "Go and make the arrangements."
"Yes." Assistant Fang pushed up his glasses. "Miss Qin's fashion gala is next Wednesday night, and she asked if you have time to attend."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion erupted outside the door.
Assistant Fang went out to take a look and quickly returned. "It's Deputy Manager Chen."
Gu Suixing sneered, "I didn't have time to go looking for him, but he delivered himself to my door."
I was initially going to give that old man some face because he was a company veteran, but now it seems I shouldn't be too lenient.
Gu Suixing pulled out a document and threw it on the table. "Give this document to Attorney Chen, so that the old man can save his energy to complain to the judge and plead his case."
"Yes." Assistant Fang picked up the document.
Gu Suixing: "Which security guards are on duty on the 37th floor today? Notify the HR department to settle their wages."
This is to make an example of someone and hold those responsible accountable.
Assistant Fang waited for a moment, and seeing that her superior had no further instructions, she left.
The office door was closed.
A short while later, a furious roar came from outside the door: "Gu Suixing, you will die a horrible death!"
But soon, the noise outside stopped.
Gu Suixing turned his office chair to face the floor-to-ceiling window, lightly tapping the armrest with his index finger, his dark, peach-blossom eyes slightly narrowed, lost in thought.
A pleasant bell rang.
Gu Suixing glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button.
Huo Huai'an's teasing voice came through the receiver: "How's it going on your first day in office, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Suixing loosened the hook on his tie with his index finger. "Speak."
Huo Huai'an knew Gu Suixing was busy, so he didn't waste any more words. "The registration process for the new company is all done, and most of the staff are here. When are you going to go there?"
Gu Suixing paused, then said, "We'll talk about it later."

Lu Yuhan was found the morning after she went missing—she was lying naked at the intersection in front of Zhaocheng International Shopping Center when she was spotted by a street cleaner who was sweeping the road early in the morning. The cleaner immediately called the police, and the police eventually notified Lu's family to come and pick her up.
Wen Ying took her to the hospital for a checkup, and there were no signs of assault; she had just spent the night lying on the roadside.
When Lu Yuhan woke up, she was naturally noisy and disruptive. To prevent her from running away again, Wen Ying decided to personally take her to Y City.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever; Lu Fengqing found out about this from the 24k pure gold sisters' group.
Lu Yuhan tried her best to ruin her, but unexpectedly, the retribution came back to her.
Lu Fengqing didn't know whether to sympathize with her or applaud her.
When Lu Fengqing received Lu Fenghe's call, she was taking a bath in her private hot spring.
When Lu Yuhan was found, many passersby took photos at the scene, which were then uploaded to the internet. Lu Fenghe wanted her to help delete the photos of Lu Yuhan from the internet.
Lu Fengqing didn't really want to do this job.
But since her older brother had spoken, she could only reluctantly help him.
After leaving the private hot spring, Lu Fengqing took the elevator back to the top floor, took out her laptop, and began searching and cleaning up Lu Yuhan's indecent photos online with little concentration.
Halfway through cleaning, I suddenly received a message from Bald Little Tiger.
[Bald Little Tiger: Bro, I'm starting my job.]
A question mark slowly appeared above Lu Fengqing's head.
Didn't he say he wanted to be a free and happy hacker for life, a lawless outlaw? How did he "go straight"?
[Bald Little Tiger: Hehe, I just wanted to tell you]
[Bald Little Tiger: Bro, even though you seem to have plenty of money, have you ever thought about finding a proper job?]
I never thought about it.
After replying with her thoughts, Lu Fengqing continued with her work.
The next day, Lu Fenghe returned from his business trip and took the opportunity to pick up his grandfather from the hospital and bring him back to the old house. When Lu Fengqing heard about this, she waited for Rui Rui to get out of school and took him back to the old house together.
Apart from Lu Yuhan and Wen Ying, who went to Y City, there were also the third brother Lu Fengxu and the fourth brother Lu Fengyao, who were studying at university in C City. The rest of them gathered at the old house for dinner that night, and no one mentioned those upsetting things at the dinner table.
After dinner, Lu Fengqing played with building blocks with Rui Rui in the toy room. Suddenly, Lu Fenghe said, "I plan to send him to the Dou family during the summer vacation."
Rui Rui's mother abandoned him with Lu Fenghe after giving birth to him and went abroad. For the past few years, Rui Rui had been raised by the Dou family until last year when he was brought back.
Rui Rui frowned, "I want Auntie."
Lu Fenghe: "Ask your aunt if she has time to take care of you."
Rui Rui looked at Lu Fengqing with pleading eyes.
Lu Fengqing knew that her older brother must have his reasons for making this arrangement, so she hardened her heart and refused: "Rui Rui, be good."
Rui Rui lowered her head in disappointment.
After taking a shower that evening, Lu Fengqing was about to return to her room when she saw Lu Fengyang smoking at the end of the corridor, and she stopped in her tracks.
The cousins Lu Fengyang and Lu Fenghe look about six or seven points alike, but Lu Fenghe has a gentle temperament and is not so distant, while Lu Fengyang looks cold and aloof, almost as if he has a "Keep Out" sign hanging on his forehead.
Lu Fengqing called out, "Second Brother."
Lu Fengyang tossed the remaining half of his cigarette into a flowerpot in the corner. "Have you heard about the Lu family's situation?"
Lu Fengyang and Lu Fenghe also acted very differently. As the eldest grandson of the Lu family and the eldest brother, Lu Fenghe was used to taking his younger siblings under his wing and trying to solve any problems himself. Lu Fengyang, on the other hand, valued solving problems more efficiently.
Lu Fengqing nodded, "I've heard about it."
"Gu Suixing has secured a development project in the West District. This project is highly profitable, but also requires a large investment. I've received word that Gu Suixing plans to find partners," Lu Fengyang stated his purpose. "I want to participate in the development of this project."
Lu Fengqing understood.
She also understood why her second brother was waiting here and telling her all this.
She asked in a low voice, "Would this help resolve the Lu family's current predicament?"
Lu Fengyang: "Of course."
Lu Fengqing took a light breath. "I'll give it a try."
Before returning to her room, Lu Fengqing asked, "Does Big Brother know?"
Lu Fengyang's eyes flickered slightly. "I don't know for now."
Lu Fengqing nodded, indicating that she understood.
Neither her maternal grandfather nor her eldest brother wanted her to have any further involvement with Gu Suixing, and her second brother had obviously come to find her without their knowledge.
