244: First appearance as Mr. Gu
Old Mrs. Jiang was multitasking, talking to Shen Boxiong and others while glancing among the guests.
Seeing that Xu Yao was indeed in the crowd, surrounded by several young female guests, Mrs. Jiang understood what was going on.
"Although I've been in East City all year round, I've often heard of the names of the two Chens from South City. You two have been in the business world for many years and have a keen eye for investment. I imagine you've chosen a new target this time?"
There was something else behind Mrs. Jiang's words.
The Shen family in Nancheng is very famous. Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun are both well-known figures in the business world. Now they have to rely on "nepotism" to continue the glory of the Shen family.
Isn't it because of Gu Jun that Xu Yao is praised like this?
Is the Shen family so sure that they can make a profit from Gu Jun?
Without waiting for Shen Boxiong to speak, Shen Zhongjun took over the conversation and frankly admitted that he wanted to cooperate with Huahu. "My brother and I have been in the business world for many years. The worst decision we made was investing in Huahu's competitor. If we had known earlier, we would have directly invested in Huahu. What are we worried about now? We brothers can both retire directly... The word "luck" is mysterious. I envy you, old lady!"
——Is it interesting to make fun of the Shen family’s nepotism?
The Shen family wanted to invest in Xu Yao to discuss cooperation with Gu Jun, and the Jiang family still relied on Jiang Zhiyan to get a share of Huahu's pie.
We are all here to make money, no one is inferior to anyone else!
Shen Zhongjun made his point clear, but Old Lady Jiang didn't get angry at all. She nodded as if nothing had happened and said, "I wish the Shen family all the best."
Shen Zhongjun's expression remained unchanged: "Thank you, old lady, for your generosity!"
The Jiang family is reluctant to share the fat piece of Huahu with others. Shen Zhongjun wants everyone to compete based on their own abilities.
Outsiders were unaware of the confrontation between Old Lady Jiang and Shen Zhongjun. To other guests at the party, Old Lady Jiang and the brothers Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun were laughing and talking all the time, creating a very harmonious atmosphere!
Although the Jiang family's roots are not in Nancheng, Huahu's headquarters has been moved to Nancheng.
Now even the Shen family in Nancheng has to be so polite to Old Madam Jiang. Isn’t this enough to illustrate the situation?
Guo Xianzhen was an outsider who didn't know the truth. Seeing that Old Lady Jiang was only talking to Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun, Guo Xianzhen felt very uncomfortable and whispered, "Big Brother and Second Brother are really something. They never take you with them when there's an opportunity like this. Isn't your last name Shen?"
What's wrong with different mothers?
The blood relationship in wealthy families should be counted from the paternal line. The three brothers in the Shen family have the same father. Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun are too bullying.
Shen Shuping didn't say anything.
Chen Yan failed to squeeze next to Old Lady Jiang, so he changed direction and stood with his parents.
"I saw the guest list at my cousin's place, and they said the boss of Hua Hu would be coming. My uncle and second uncle didn't ask us to speak to Mrs. Jiang, so we can chat with Mr. Jiang when he arrives."
Old Mrs. Jiang may be in charge of the Jiang family, but what does that have to do with Shen Yan?
The county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. Chen Yan is now running an MCN company, and he still wants to have a good relationship with Jiang Zhiyan the most.
Shen Shuping nodded with a sullen face, "We don't care about the old house, we just need to live our own lives."
Even if Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun did not help, Shen Shuping would not let himself starve to death over the years.
Unless he was forced into a desperate situation, Shen Shuping would not ask his two brothers for help!
Chen Yan received his father's approval, and his restless heart slowly calmed down. He shouldn't have let Xu Yao mess with his mind. His main target today was still Jiang Zhiyan. He wasn't sure if Jiang Zhiyan would pay attention to others, but Jiang Zhiyan would definitely pay attention to Chen Yan. He had already thought about what topic to talk about with Jiang Zhiyan.
Chen Yan had given up paying attention to Xu Yao, but God seemed to be against him.
Old Mrs. Jiang was old and could not walk around the place like other guests. She was personally guided by Shen Boxiong and others to sit down first.
As soon as Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun left, the others wanted to come over and talk to Old Mrs. Jiang.
Old Mrs. Jiang was indifferent to everyone, but she waved at Xu Yao.
"Come, sit next to me, and let's talk."
For a moment, the whole party fell silent.
Shen Yan, Tang Hao, Wen Yiyi, Guo Xianzhen, Shen Shuping, including Wen Zhicheng, none of them understood why Old Lady Jiang held Xu Yao in such high esteem.
Only Lin Meixian's eyes flashed and she guessed the reason why Mrs. Jiang did this.
Xu Yao suddenly became the focus of the whole audience.
Many eyes were looking at her, and many ears were listening, everyone wanted to know why Xu Yao was so valued.
Bankruptcy, broken engagement, internet celebrity, divorce, live streaming success... These keywords are the condensed life experience of Xu Yao. She can sell over 200 million in a day, but she can't earn that much in a single day. Why does she deserve such attention as a mere internet celebrity?
Not only does Shen Fei value Xu Yao, but even Old Lady Jiang values Xu Yao as well. It's really hard to understand!
Xu Yao was put on the spot by Mrs. Jiang's words.
It was difficult for her to sit next to Old Lady Jiang or not.
Old Madam Jiang is really not an easy person to get along with. Xu Yao has obviously divorced Gu Jun, but Old Madam Jiang insists on helping Xu Yao to stir up trouble... It's so annoying!
Miss Qi sensed Xu Yao's mood and chuckled: "This is the Shen family's party."
The Shen family’s party doesn’t need to give too much face to the Jiang family.
When they arrived at the Jiang family's territory, it wouldn't be too late for Xu Yao to follow Old Lady Jiang's wishes. Others were afraid of the Jiang family, but Xu Yao shouldn't be afraid—
Miss Qi actually encouraged Xu Yao and told her not to listen to Mrs. Jiang!
The enthusiasm of Shen Fei and her friends gradually formed an answer in Xu Yao's mind: it seems that they all know Gu Jun's identity.
Xu Yao thought so too. Only a fool like her would not have doubted Gu Jun before he confessed.
These people in Nancheng are so cunning. They probably knew long ago that Gu Jun was the boss of Huahu. When Gu Jun wanted to hide behind the scenes, these people played along with him. When Gu Jun no longer wanted to be behind the scenes, these people even brought out Gu Jun's ex-wife to pay tribute to her!
The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit.
Xu Yao smiled at Miss Qi, took a few steps forward and sat next to Old Lady Jiang.
"Are you satisfied?"
Xu Yao asked Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang smiled. "You're a woman of integrity, so after learning about Gu Jun's identity, you decided to divorce him. But divorcing him is pointless. As long as he still cares about you, you'll never be able to escape his aura. These people will respect you because of Gu Jun, and you'll enjoy a social status you didn't have before. You'll never have an independent personality."
Will the internet celebrities who sell goods through live streaming gain recognition from the upper class in South City?
Of course not!
The reason why Chen Fei and Miss Qi were able to accept Xu Yao was because of Gu Jun.
Gu Jun did not accompany Xu Yao to the party, and even legally they were no longer husband and wife, but he still stood behind Xu Yao.
Old Mrs. Jiang deliberately brought up this fact in order to test Xu Yao's true thoughts.
Xu Yao hasn't spoken yet.
Shen Fei, who was in charge of receiving guests, walked quickly towards Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun.
"The boss of Huahu is here!"
Everyone heard what Shen Fei said.
Chen Yan also straightened his suit.
Everyone looked towards the door, but the person who came in was not Jiang Zhiyan, but Gu Jun.
Chen Yan thought: Gu Jun is indeed highly valued by Jiang Zhiyan.
Shen Yan thought Gu Jun was the one who led the way, but unexpectedly, Shen Yan did not see Jiang Zhiyan until Shen Boxiong, Shen Zhongjun and Gu Jun shook hands.
Chen Yan also heard Shen Boxiong call Gu Jun "Mr. Gu"!
