Chapter 1113: Gu Yin's Speechlessness
"Isn't this Miss Zhou? Hello, Miss Zhou! I'm Ning Dong from Ningshi Pharmaceuticals! Oh my, what a surprise to see you here! What a delightful surprise!!"
Gu Yin was eating a small cake when a middle-aged man in a sharp suit walked over with a wealthy woman and a pair of young twins.
Judging from their appearance, the two young men had similar features to them, so they should be a family of four.
However, according to Gu Yin's memory, they shouldn't have been at the wedding banquet just now, after all, these four people looked quite extraordinary.
However, since they were guests, their tone wasn't bad.
Gu Yin shook her head in one direction.
Gu Yin put down her spoon, wiped her mouth, and nodded: "Hello."
Ning Dong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Yin's attitude was acceptable.
Looking at the sofa next to him, he smiled and asked, "Is this seat taken? May we sit here?"
Chu Yan went to get tea for Gu Yin and isn't here right now.
Gu Yin nodded: "Apart from the person next to me, you can do whatever you want with the others."
"Thank you!"
The family of four sat down somewhat awkwardly.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Gu Yin picked up the cake and continued eating.
Gu Shu quickly came over.
She glanced at Gu Yin, then looked at the four unfamiliar people: "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
Ning Dong felt a little embarrassed, but considering the purpose of his visit, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
"Congratulations on your marriage, Mr. Gu! I am Ning Dong, the head of Ningshi Pharmaceuticals. This is my wife, and these are my children. I learned today that Mr. Gu is holding his wedding here, so I shamelessly came to ask for a drink of congratulatory wine!"
As Ning Dong spoke, Gu Yin saw Madam Ning stand up and hand over an antique box she had been holding to Gu Shu with both hands.
"Here is a pair of jade rings, passed down through generations of our Ning family. They are not particularly valuable, but they have a very good meaning. In our Ning family, one husband and one wife have been loving and devoted to each other for three generations. Everyone in the industry knows this, and we also hope that Mr. Gu and his wife will have a happy and fulfilling life together."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shu quickly refused, "This is too precious, I can't accept it. It's just a cup of wedding wine, how can I accept such an expensive gift!"
This is someone's family heirloom!
"It's just a pair of jadeite rings. The material is quite good, but it's not worth much. Please accept them!"
"this......"
"Take it, it has a nice meaning." Gu Yin finished eating the cake, and while looking at her phone, she stopped Gu Shu from continuing to refuse.
Hearing Gu Yin say that, Gu Shu stopped refusing and accepted the gifts with a smile: "Thank you for the gifts! I like them very much! Have another drink later, I'll go over there and greet the others first. If you need anything, just let someone find me!"
Judging from Ayin's expression, she must know the background of these people and their purpose in coming.
After Gu Shu left, the scene became quiet again.
Gu Yin: "..." Wait, what's wrong with this family? They're just sitting here quietly? Aren't they going to say a word?
Gu Yin looked at them quietly, but all of them, whether they were old or young, just smiled at her and didn't say a word.
"This cake is delicious! I've never had this type of pastry in Beijing before! Do you like this flavor too, sister? I know a time-honored brand that currently only accepts private orders. They make old-fashioned pastries, the kind from the imperial court, which are especially delicious! I'll take you there sometime!"
The young girl from the Ning family looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looked at Gu Yin with expectant eyes.
Gu Yin pushed several cakes in front of her.
"If you like it, eat more."
The young girl paused upon hearing this, her eyes filled with annoyance. She didn't know whether to accept or not; would people think she was too petty?
Why would you steal someone else's cake?
Gu Yin saw the girl smile at her, then pick up a piece, and huddle back down like a quail.
...Gu Yin truly admired this family!
"The tea is here, the temperature is just right, have some." As soon as Chu Yan returned, he saw four people sitting opposite him. He raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and handed the water glass to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin took the water glass, took a sip, and noticed that the family of four looked increasingly nervous. Was Chu Yan some kind of monster? Should she look at them and see if they could just huddle inside the sofa?
"Hello, Mr. Chu. It's been a long time. You still look as dashing as ever."
Chu Yan nodded upon hearing this: "It has been quite a while. President Ning is here for the wedding banquet?"
Ning Dong nodded, glanced at Gu Yin, and then shook his head.
Gu Yin: "..."
Chu Yan: "?? Huh?"
We're all smart people; there's no need to lie, especially not in front of Gu Yin and Chu Yan.
Ning Dong truthfully replied, "I came here under the guise of attending the cocktail party to try my luck, and I didn't expect to be so lucky."
Chu Yan nodded: "Oh."
The scene fell silent again.
Gu Yin: "......"
"We're full, let's go home. We got up too early this morning, and I'm feeling a bit sleepy now."
Gu Yin stood up and looked at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan nodded: "Okay, let's go."
The Ning couple immediately stood up.
Gu Yin looked at them: "?? What?"
He heard that Gu Yin's time was very precious, and since she was sleepy at the moment, he felt a little embarrassed to disturb her.
"Um, Miss Zhou, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss something." Ning Dong immediately smiled and looked at Gu Yin.
"I'm free today, but not tomorrow."
"No, not tomorrow, then..."
"I'm really curious, with your slow and indecisive nature, how did you manage to build such a big company? You don't seem very bright. It's been an hour, a whole hour! You haven't said a word, just looked at me and laughed, laughed and laughed, and you think things are solved by laughing? Today is the most speechless day I've had in years!"
Gu Yin was quite impressed with herself for enduring this long!
After venting her frustrations, KuKu finally felt better. If it weren't for her character's personality, she would have been cursing!
How stupid can someone be to take a company public?
Upon hearing Gu Yin's words, Ning Dong immediately knew that she was giving him time.
"I'm so sorry, it's impolite to come here so abruptly, and given your imposing presence, I hesitated a bit. Please excuse my rudeness! May I take up a little of your time? I have something I'd like to discuss with you!"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this and sat down: "You should have said so earlier. Stop dawdling. Just say it."
Ning Dong immediately revealed his purpose.
“Our Ning family started out in the pharmaceutical industry. Mr. Chu knows about us. Ms. Zhou, you and Mr. Chu previously opened a pharmaceutical company, selling products such as scar removal cream, weight loss pills, and hair growth products. Later, Mr. Chu went abroad to do some important business, and you were also busy, so the company was taken over by the government. Mr. Chu has recently returned, but I heard that he doesn't seem to have any plans to return to the business world. So, I would like to ask if we can sell your company's medicines?”
Gu Yin had just had someone investigate the Ning family and knew his purpose.
"I haven't dealt with any of the drugs your company already had. The products I've made haven't affected your company. The domestic market is saturated. Are you planning to open up the international market?"
Even though Chu Yan and Gu Yin didn't manage it, someone was in charge of the pharmaceutical factory, and Gu Yin didn't receive less of her annual dividends. Gu Yin would also do some small things during her time off.
Over the years, the domestic market has indeed become saturated.
Ning Dong sighed: "Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. Our Ning family has a medicinal ointment that has been passed down through generations. It's an old brand, but it can't be sold overseas. They even use some tricks to say that my medicine causes cancer. People in China don't believe it, but people abroad do. They keep asking me to provide the formula, but I definitely can't."
