Goddess #246, we'll see.
"Fu Ya, don't forget who you are. You're just a Gu family employee. What, do you really think this is the Fu family's company?"
"I'm sorry, but unfortunately, the chairman is in the same position as me right now. Wait until you actually become the chairman before you try to plan the group with your inadequate intelligence."
If Fu Ya wanted to be sarcastic, A Xin would definitely be no match for him. The group of shareholders looked at the two arguing and exchanged glances, but they all knew that it was best not to speak at this time, otherwise they would get into trouble in no time.
"You...you've gone too far!"
Ultimately, Ah Xin was still too young, especially in the business world. Compared to Fu Ya, who had been immersed in the world of business since childhood, she was really just a kindergarten kid.
"Is that so? If the chairman can't even handle a few casual words from me, how can he shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire Gu Group?"
"Hmph! You're just an employee my dad hired. Let's see how long you can keep up your arrogance!"
Having apparently run out of things to say, Ah Xin let out a heavy snort, then stood up and strode out of the conference room. Perhaps she had nowhere to vent her anger, as her high heels slapped the floor loudly.
"President Fu, we...we..."
"Everyone, disperse."
Fu Ya waved his hand and walked out of the meeting room with some helplessness. He rubbed his sore brow. This was ultimately a family matter. He really couldn't understand why his third brother wanted him to get involved. Wasn't he afraid that Gu Mingxia would find out and kick him a few times?
They are, after all, sisters. What if they put aside their past grievances and make peace? Then he would be the one who did all the work but got nothing in return, ending up pleasing neither side.
"What do you think President Fu means?"
"Chairman Gu said that day that he would follow President Fu's arrangements. You guys are still fooling around with Miss Fu. Aren't you afraid that Gu Dong will be unhappy?"
"What do you know? This is the Gu family's business. In the end, it will either go to the eldest young lady or the second young lady. We can't do too much now. Don't wait until the second young lady takes over the company before you start trying to curry favor with her. By then, it will be too late!"
The shareholders who had been flattering Ah Xin put away their documents and left the meeting room one by one, leaving the other shareholders shaking their heads helplessly. Clearly, the company would eventually belong to the young lady. Given Chairman Gu's style of doing things, it was impossible for him to hand over such a large group to an illegitimate daughter who had no knowledge or experience.
In the CEO's office, Fu Ya held his phone with a pained expression. He glanced at the thick stack of documents on his desk and immediately turned his head away in disgust.
"Third Brother, could you please have someone else come here? Second Brother isn't here, or Fourth Brother would be fine too. I... I really can't do this."
"You might as well just tell me to go by myself."
"If you'd like, you can do it yourself!"
"Oh, okay then. How about we switch places? You can manage the Fu Group, and I'll be the leisurely CEO of the Gu Group?"
Fu Heng always knew what to say to achieve the best effect, and sure enough, Fu Ya's handsome face immediately fell. Letting him manage the Fu family business was worse than just killing him!
"Third brother, do you think it's inappropriate for an outsider like me to get involved in the Gu family's affairs? Gu Mingxia is such a fierce woman, if she comes back and finds out that I'm constantly teasing her sister, she might get so worked up that she'll cripple me!"
When Fu Ya thought of Gu Mingxia, he would automatically picture the deadly moves she used to deal with those people in South Africa. Those were the most painful things for a man. He wasn't married or had children yet, and he didn't want to become a cripple! Without realizing it, he squeezed his legs together. That crazy woman was not someone he could afford to mess with!
"Don't worry, I promise that when she comes back this time and knows everything you've done, she will definitely thank you."
Are you sure that this "thank you" you're referring to means "thank you"?
"I'm absolutely sure it's okay, right? Don't keep calling me when you don't need to, I'm very busy, okay?"
"Third brother, third brother..."
Looking at the phone that had already been hung up, Fu Ya sighed helplessly. At least tell him what to do next. He had never managed a company before, okay? This really was his first job. Just thinking about it made Fu Ya shudder. Oh well, if his third brother wouldn't help, he'd better figure it out himself. If Gu's Group was really taken over by A Xin, Fu Ya could just imagine the look Gu Mingxia would give him.
In her self-built villa in the suburbs, Gu Mingxia sat leisurely in the yard, basking in the sun while clumsily knitting a sweater according to a handicraft illustration book. Song Jia, sitting opposite her, watched with a twitching mouth.
He must be doing this wrong. How can such a powerful goddess be knitting with knitting needles now? Does this really suit her overall image?
"Goddess, when are we going back?"
"Why go back? I think it's fine here!" Gu Mingxia didn't even look up, her eyebrows almost furrowed together. "Oh dear, Song Jia, it's all your fault for talking to me, I missed a few more needles."
Song Jia, caught in the crossfire, twitched her lips helplessly. Goddess, if you're clumsy, don't blame others, okay? Your hands are for writing programs, not for fiddling with these long needles, okay?
"Goddess, do you think your current style is appropriate? Are you planning to keep knitting here forever?"
"Huh? Is there something wrong with it?" Gu Mingxia stopped what she was doing, looked up at Song Jia, and frowned slightly. "Don't men all like delicate, virtuous, and family-oriented women like this?"
"Incompetent men only seek a sense of self-worth by exploiting a woman's vulnerability. But goddess, you can't be vulnerable at all, okay?"
"Song Jia, you have deeply hurt my fragile heart as a delicate woman!" Gu Mingxia snorted, got up, picked up her knitting bag, and walked inside, muttering to herself as she went. "It's impossible to have a pleasant conversation with a man like that. I think I'd better continue painting."
Song Jia frowned. This couldn't go on. He knew she was hiding here because she didn't want to face certain things, but judging from her attitude, she probably didn't plan to go back until the baby was born.
"Goddess, I think we should go back as soon as possible. Staying here indefinitely is really not a good idea."
"Song Jia, you're so annoying!"
Gu Mingxia sighed helplessly, put down her paintbrush, and looked seriously at Song Jia, who had come in with her.
"Can't you just let me do my work in peace and quiet? Can't I even have a comfortable break for a while?"
"It's not that it's impossible, but goddess, look at this!"
As Song Jia spoke, she pulled out an iPad from somewhere, which had already opened the Gu Group's official website. The homepage prominently featured a photo of A Xin with a smug expression, with the words "Acting Chairman" written very clearly next to it. Fu Ya's photo, on the other hand, was much more helpless, and his position was, of course, CEO.
"What do you mean by showing me this? The personnel changes at the Gu Group have absolutely nothing to do with me."
Gu Shenju only glanced at it briefly, indicating that she had no interest in it whatsoever, but Song Jia had no intention of keeping her quiet.
"But don't forget that Ah Xin and Cai Feng are planning to join forces to swallow up the Gu family's assets. That's your family's wealth. If Ah Xin were to take it away, that would be understandable, since she's also a member of the Gu family. But what is Cai Feng? He's your enemy!"
"If he can't even handle these two third-rate people in the business world, do you think Gu Huaikun can still be called Gu Huaikun?"
Gu Mingxia spoke casually, then picked up her paintbrush and began to paint haphazardly on the easel. Song Jia glanced at what she was painting and noticed that Gu Mingxia had painted a whole picture of sunflowers.
"You say you have time to draw this stuff here, but why don't you think about caring about the Gu family?"
"The Gu family owns the Gu family's business, and Gu Huaikun is concerned about it. What does it have to do with me?"
From the day A-Dong died, she had already decided that the Gu family's property belonged to the Gu family, not Gu Mingxia's. She did not want that kind of wealth to restrict her freedom and life.
Song Jia sighed helplessly. Why was this woman so difficult to talk to? He paced anxiously back and forth in the living room. Suddenly, Song Jia walked to Gu Mingxia's side and snatched the paintbrush from her hand.
"Oh dear, I can't hold back anymore! I'll just tell you straight: Ah Xin gave Mr. Gu Ice Blue, and now Mr. Gu is severely addicted to drugs. That's why she was able to become the acting chairman, and why Fu Ya became the CEO of the Gu Group as the Fifth Young Master Fu!"
These words made Gu Mingxia's expression stiffen, but she quickly smiled and picked up a paintbrush again, calmly continuing her unfinished painting.
“That’s between the father and daughter. I was kicked out of the Gu family a long time ago. No matter what happens between Gu Huaikun and A Xin, it has nothing to do with me anymore.”
"You... Gu Mingxia, do you know that once you're infected with Ice Blue, you only have a year and a half to live at most? I really don't understand why people with parents don't know how to cherish family ties?"
After saying that, Song Jia, clearly angry, stormed out of the living room. A short while later, the sound of him practicing martial arts could be heard coming from the courtyard.
Gu Mingxia continued to draw the sunflowers with a faint smile on her face, but as she drew, her paintbrush suddenly stopped, and her eyes stared straight at the sunflowers on the paper.
Her right hand, gripping the paintbrush, tightened its hold until suddenly, with a snap, the paintbrush broke in two. Gu Mingxia glanced at her injured finger and smiled faintly.
He took out a paintbrush from his pencil case and calmly painted sunflowers that seemed to never run out of bloom.
"Song Jia, continue to investigate the situation of the Longevity Cult in South Africa."
"I'm not investigating. If you want to investigate, go investigate yourself!"
"Good boy, keep investigating."
"Fine, I'll investigate. Don't talk to me like that, like you're trying to coax a child! And don't talk to me anymore. What if you ruin those sunflowers again? You'll blame me then, won't you?"
Gu Mingxia's tightly furrowed brows relaxed after hearing Song Jia's words. Fortunately, Song Jia had been here with her during this time, otherwise she felt she would have been bored to death.
"Ah Xin, Cai Feng... It seems you really think the Gu family has no one left, and that you really think I, Gu Mingxia, am a pushover, right? I originally planned to leave you alone for the sake of the baby, but since that's how it is, then let's wait and see!"
