Chapter 388 Self-Awareness
The group who had planned to watch the show were speechless: "...The Zhou family's assets of hundreds of billions originally belonged to you. Aren't you really tempted?"
Zhao Manni rolled her eyes: "Only a fool wouldn't be tempted. That's hundreds of billions! Ask anyone who wouldn't be tempted! But first, you'd have to be alive to spend it! Look at those four on stage. Let's not even talk about the shipping magnate's son and daughter-in-law. Just look at that girl. Didn't you listen to Old Master Zhou? She's the top scorer in the country! That means she's not just smart, she's exceptionally smart! She's smarter than anyone her age in the country! And she's so young. If the old man mentors her for a day or two, what can't she handle? You think someone like that can't manage the Zhou family business? How can you think my two kids, who need donations to even get into high school and college, are better than her? I don't even have confidence, where do you get your confidence from?"
The person next to him disagreed, saying, "Maybe she's just a bookworm. She's good at studying, but not so good at business."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Wansheng on the stage began to introduce Gu Yin.
"This is my granddaughter, Gu Yin. She's still young, and she won't be an adult for another year, but don't think she's easy to bully just because she's young. My granddaughter is amazing! She got the top score in the national college entrance examination, and she won three gold medals in the International Olympiads in biology, chemistry, and physics! And the scar-removing cream that's so popular lately was made by her!" Zhou Wansheng's tone was incredibly proud!
Zhao Manni glanced at the person next to her and sneered, "See? I don't usually do things that humiliate myself."
After saying that, she ignored them and left the party after Zhou Wansheng finished speaking.
If it weren't for the Zhao and Zhou families, she wouldn't have come at all. Isn't a handsome guy appealing enough? Why come here to embarrass herself?!
Wang Yanzhi on stage also saw Zhao Manni leave, but she didn't say much. The other party didn't cause trouble, which showed that she had some self-awareness.
After introducing their families, everyone stepped down from the stage.
Wu Ye stepped forward and said with a smile, "This should have been announced a long time ago. It's just that your grandfather is so fussy. It took so long to make it public. How aggrieved he must have been!"
Gu Yin smiled and said, "Grandpa is also thinking about us. Whether it's made public sooner or later, it won't affect how good he is to us!"
Gu Le stepped forward and grabbed Wu Ye's hand: "Grandpa, you actually came! Did you bring any gifts?!" They hadn't seen each other since their last meeting in Myanmar, and usually only kept in touch by phone. Their relationship had deepened considerably.
Wu Ye raised his eyebrows: "I wouldn't dare come empty-handed! I don't have much else, but I have plenty of mines. I'll give you two one each this time. I've already prepared the contracts. I'll give them to you after the party!"
Gu Le shook his arm: "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Gu Yin smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, sir!"
Seeing that many people were looking this way, Zhou Wansheng patted Wu Ye on the shoulder and said, "We're all on the same side, so I won't entertain you. Please make yourself at home. I'll take them to meet the people, and I'll come back to find you later."
Wu Ye also knew the importance of this return, and said with a smile, "Go ahead and don't worry about me. I'll go and meet some people too!"
After leaving with Wu Ye, Zhou Wansheng and the others came to the Gu family and the Chu family.
Gu Yin looked at Mr. Chu: "Mr. Chu, has Chu Yan contacted you?"
Chu Xiong and Yao Jinse shook their heads: "No, his phone is still off."
Zhou Wansheng frowned: "I'll have someone look for him. You don't need to worry. He's not a child anymore. He travels all over the world with you all year round. You have to trust his abilities."
Chu Xiong nodded: "I understand." But it would be a lie to say he wasn't worried. The Zhou family had a lot of influence in Hong Kong, so finding someone would be much easier for them!
Zhou Wansheng led Gu Yin and the others forward to continue talking to the other people.
"Mayor Liu, it's been a long time! How have you been?!" Zhou Wansheng greeted him with a smile and a handshake.
Liu Zhi raised his glass and clinked it with the other person's, jokingly saying, "It's been since we parted ways in S City. I didn't expect to see you again, Old Zhou, with such a joyous occasion! Congratulations!" As he spoke, he also greeted Gu Qinglang and the others.
Zhou Wansheng knew he was referring to Gu Qinglang, so he smiled and shook his head: "Life is unpredictable; who could have foreseen this?"
Liu Zhi nodded: "Mr. Gu is from the mainland. How about it, are you interested in doing some work in S City?"
Most of the Zhou family's businesses are located in Hong Kong and overseas. He has talked to Zhou Wansheng many times, hoping that the other party would also invest in the neighboring city, or open a subsidiary or something, so that they could pay more taxes to their city, and preferably contribute to the development of their city! Originally, everything was ready to be settled, but then someone came from Beijing and asked Zhou Wansheng to develop in Beijing. No matter how good his special economic zone is, it can't compare to the political center!
It had been a great pity for him for a long time! Now that Mr. Zhou's son has been recognized, the Zhou family will definitely make plans for him. If they can persuade him to develop in their city, over time, the Zhou family might even shift their focus to their city!
Gu Qingming smiled and raised his glass: "Thank you for the invitation, Mayor Liu. I don't have any plans yet, but if I do, I will definitely give priority to S City!"
