245: I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it!
Why do the eldest uncle and the second uncle call Gu Jun "Mr. Gu"?
Not only Chen Yan had this question, but Wen Yiyi did too.
Wen Yiyi had just said to Lin Meixian a few days ago that Xu Yao was too impatient. If Xu Yao had waited patiently for a few years, perhaps Gu Jun would have become the vice president of Huahu. Could it be that her casual remark had actually come true?!
It’s no wonder Wen Yiyi thinks this way. This is the social habit of Chinese people. No matter whether there is the word “deputy” in front of the title, it will be omitted when addressing someone in person!
Seeing that Gu Jun was warmly received by Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun, Wen Yiyi couldn't help but go to see Xu Yao.
Does Xu Yao regret it now?
If Gu Jun had become the vice president of Huahu earlier, Xu Yao would never have divorced him.
Unfortunately, Xu Yao was talking to Old Madam Jiang. From where Wen Yiyi was standing, she could only see a little of Xu Yao's profile. It was unclear what Xu Yao's expression was at the moment. Wen Yiyi turned to Lin Meixian and sighed, "Aunt Lin, Gu Jun is really amazing. He became the vice president so quickly!"
Lin Meixian didn't even bother to glance at Wen Yiyi.
You smart-aleck idiot, didn’t you hear Shen Fei introduce Gu Jun as “Boss Hua Hu”?
On second thought, it was indeed surprising that Gu Jun was the boss of Huahu. It was no wonder that Wen Yiyi, with her walnut-sized head, misunderstood!
Lin Meixian didn't want to bother with Wen Yiyi. She was worried about Xu Yao and didn't know what the old lady of the Jiang family meant by calling Xu Yao over.
Wen Zhicheng was confused: Did Gu Jun really become the vice president of Huahu?
But he is just a vice president of Huahu, so there is no need for Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun to receive him so warmly!
Wen Zhicheng temporarily put aside the idea of making other connections and walked to Shen Shuping: "Do you know what's going on?"
Shen Shuping doesn’t know!
But Shen Shuping couldn't show it in front of Wen Zhicheng, so he pretended to be calm and said, "What's going on? Didn't you see it?"
Wen Zhicheng speculated, "Jiang Zhiyan isn't coming today. Could Gu Jun please attend in his place?"
Shen Shuping didn't say yes or no, so Wen Zhicheng took it as Shen Shuping's tacit agreement.
Chen Yan, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: This must be the case, Gu Jun attended the party on behalf of Jiang Zhiyan.
Even though Gu Jun was only attending the party on behalf of Jiang Zhiyan, Shen Yan felt a heavy heart. He had already prepared topics for his conversation with Jiang Zhiyan, but he hadn't expected Jiang Zhiyan to send Gu Jun. Shen Yan couldn't possibly go and talk to Gu Jun about their mutual ex, Xu Yao. Furthermore, if Gu Jun really did become Huahu's vice president, it wouldn't be good news for Shen Yan. Shengshi was going to take over Huahu's business, and what if Gu Jun was going to cause trouble?
Chen Yan is full of worries.
Shen Fei looked around and finally locked his sight on Shen Yan.
Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun were talking to Gu Jun. Shen Fei couldn't get a word in. She looked at Shen Yan first and then turned to look at Mrs. Shen Er. Seeing Mrs. Shen Er nodded slightly, Shen Fei came to Shen Yan with a smile on her face.
"Boss Jiang isn't here today, so it's the same for you to meet Boss Gu. After my dad and the others finish talking to Boss Gu, I'll introduce you to him."
Shen Yan rejected Shen Fei's kindness: "I only want to see Mr. Jiang. As for this Mr. Gu...he may not be able to make the decision on what I want to say."
Even if Gu Jun became the vice president of Huahu, Shen Yan would not try to please Gu Jun.
One reason is Xu Yao.
Gu Jun is Xu Yao's ex-husband. How could Chen Yan possibly try to please him?
The second reason is Shen Yan’s own pride.
Shen Yan could bow down to Jiang Zhiyan because they came from similar backgrounds. Jiang Zhiyan had built a company like Huahu, so it wasn't shameful for Shen Yan to bow down to Jiang Zhiyan. As the saying goes, things change over time. When Shen Yan's business becomes bigger and stronger, people like Jiang Zhiyan will naturally come to him for favors.
But let Chen Yan bow his head and please Gu Jun?
Shen Yan's pride wouldn't allow him to do that.
Gu Jun was born into a poor family in a shantytown...
Shen Fei pretended to be surprised: "What do you want to talk about? Even Mr. Gu can't make the decision?"
——Poor Chen Yan, he really doesn’t know anything.
The pitiful person is not only Chen Yan, but also Guo Xianzhen. When Guo Xianzhen heard that Gu Jun became the vice president of Huahu, he couldn't help but feel a little gloating: no matter what Gu Jun's background is, he is very capable to be the vice president of Huahu. Xu Yao didn't catch such a man. I wonder if Xu Yao regrets it now?
Guo Xianzhen asked Shen Fei in a low voice: "Fei Fei, why did the old lady of the Jiang family ask Xu Yao to sit with her?"
Chen Fei smiled. "Maybe she likes Xu Yao. In fact, it's not just Old Madam Jiang who likes Xu Yao. My friends and I also have a good impression of her. We like her self-reliance. A family going bankrupt is a big deal for anyone, but Xu Yao didn't lose heart because of it. Instead, she rose to prominence despite the adversity. Third Aunt, don't you think Xu Yao is amazing?"
Guo Xianzhen curled his lips.
So that's why.
"She's quite impressive. Most people wouldn't be so shameless as her to become an internet celebrity. But you guys really flatter her too much. After all, she's not on the same level as us..."
Guo Xianzhen muttered a few words, but Shen Fei didn't respond.
Shen Fei originally wanted to give Shen Yan a chance, to wake him up in advance, so as to avoid embarrassment. If he had known earlier that Gu Jun was the boss of Hua Hu, Shen Yan would have had time to sneak away. But Shen Yan was so arrogant that he didn't understand Shen Fei's hint!
Oh, it’s not her fault.
Shen Fei turned and left.
…
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Xu Yao with a smile, waiting for her answer.
The old lady thought Xu Yao would be angry.
Young girls are somewhat proud and thin-skinned, so it's normal for them to get angry. It would be best if she ran to Gu Jun in anger and asked him why he was so persistent... That would be fun!
Unexpectedly, Xu Yao was neither angry nor excited. Her tone was very calm: "Whether my personality is independent or not is not determined by Gu Jun, nor can it be changed by a few words from you. I am flattered that others respect me because I am Gu Jun's ex-wife. Although such respect may have ulterior motives, I don't need to be anxious about it. I don't care what they think of me. I won't use the identity of 'Gu Jun's ex-wife' to seek profit. I know that I have divorced Gu Jun. Whether you and others are aware of it is your business."
Xu Yao was so calm that Old Lady Jiang choked.
The old lady looked at Xu Yao again, "...I underestimated you."
This doesn't sound like praise but rather like sarcasm.
Xu Yao was about to stand up and leave when Shen Boxiong suddenly clapped his hands. Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Boxiong. He cleared his throat and said, "Today, I'd like to introduce a distinguished guest to everyone. You've all heard of Huahu, right? Today, we're honored to have Mr. Gu, the owner of Huahu, here with us..."
Mr. Gu, the boss of Huahu.
These words struck several people's hearts like thunder!
Shen Yan's whole body trembled as if he had been electrocuted. He felt that either he had misheard or Shen Boxiong had said something wrong. But who was Shen Boxiong? How could he make such a mistake?
Gu Jun is the real boss of Huahu.
Shen Yan's mind went blank!
