"How come I don't know about this?" Gu Yuqing immediately objected. "Donghuang Seven Stars' own financial situation is very healthy. How can we be sure there's no fraud involved?"
Gu Zongyan glanced at her and said, "I didn't ask you to come during the discussion, so you naturally don't know. As for whether there is any fraud, I know better than you."
After a pause, he continued, "A one billion yuan investment is an astronomical figure for the current mobile game market. Even Donghuang Seven Stars would find it difficult to undertake a project of this magnitude. But for us, one billion yuan is just so-so. Besides, we've always wanted to enter the cultural and entertainment field, and investing in this project of theirs is just a test of the waters..."
After Gu Zongyan finished speaking, the executives and actuaries below listed a large amount of data. This matter had been decided without her involvement at all, and Gu Yuqing found that she had no say at all.
In the final vote, almost all the executives present voted unanimously in favor of the investment, with only Gu Yuqing remaining silent.
But the decision of whether to invest or not is no longer in her hands.
"The Gu family is entering the gaming field." If this news were to be released, it would be another bombshell and would definitely cause fluctuations in the stock market.
Although the entire gaming industry has been developing for many years, it is still new waters for established families like the Gu family and the Lu family.
These families control a lot of resources and financial power, and can call the shots in traditional industries.
But with the rise of the IT industry and the cultural and entertainment industry, new wealthy people have emerged one after another, and these old families have long begun to panic.
Everyone knows that traditional industries are on the decline and will only decline further in the future. Those big families want to take advantage of their wealth to enter new fields and carve out a niche for themselves.
Just like what Gu Zongyan said just now, 1 billion yuan is a lot for an industry leader like Donghuang Seven Stars, but for the Gu family, it is just so-so.
Moreover, some time ago, the Lu family entered the entertainment industry, acquiring Haiya and establishing Aiwa Company. The momentum was huge and the results were very good. The Gu family must be jealous.
The Gu family must have been planning this trial for a long time, and choosing to invest in Cai Zhenyi's studio was just a coincidence.
This matter is not something that I can control alone.
However, now that even the Gu family has entered in person, what should she and Chen Ya do?
…
After the meeting, Gu Zongyan took Gu Yuqing downstairs and got into his Lincoln business car parked outside the door.
The extra-long and widened rear seat has a circle of seats that looks like a small KTV room, with a massage chair and aromatherapy diffuser at the back, and an antique wooden square tea table at hand.
Gu Zongyan got in the car and sat in his main seat, while Gu Yuqing sat on a bench beside him.
He stared at Gu Yuqing for a long time and then asked, "What do you think?"
"What are you thinking?" Gu Yuqing's neck was stiff and her tone was bad.
Sitting in the private car, Gu Zongyan completely lost the mood to pretend to be a loving father and said:
"Are you going through puberty? Are you feeling romantically aroused? Do you want to have a free love relationship?"
Gu Yuqing remained silent. She had never expected Gu Zongyan to remember her birthday. One day when she was in high school, Gu Zongyan suddenly decided to pick her up and ended up waiting for her at her old elementary school.
She also didn't want to remind Gu Zongyan that she was already in her twenties and had long passed puberty.
"I don't care what you think of that man, but I want to tell you that if you still want to be my daughter, I must choose a husband for you." Gu Zongyan took a sip of tea.
Gu Yuqing turned her face away: "I don't want to find a husband."
"I don't care," Gu Zongyan said, "If you want to find a husband yourself, then I tell you, the day you get married, you will no longer be my daughter."
Gu Yuqing remained silent.
Gu Zongyan continued, "If you want to have a free love relationship, I won't recognize the ridiculous terms and conditions that your biological mother forced me to sign. I will pretend that I don't have a daughter like you. I will pretend that I have never been married and had no children before marrying Wen Shujing."
Gu Yuqing's heart was in turmoil. Her unbearable mood was surging like a tide. If she could choose, she would choose to never have been born, never come into this world.
She would rather Gu Zongyan's first wife was a mistress than be born. If she could travel back in time, she would go back to her mother's womb and strangle herself with the umbilical cord.
Gu Yuqing endured for a long time, using all her life's friendliness, and managed to squeeze out a few words:
"Why would I want to be in love freely? I don't want to be in love."
"That's good." Gu Zongyan narrowed his eyes and softened his tone a little, "You are already an adult, you shouldn't still have some little girl's fantasies."
Gu Yuqing said softly: "I am not a little girl anymore. I have always considered myself a man."
"I don't encourage you to do this, but I don't have any objection." Gu Zongyan didn't hear the sarcasm in his daughter's words.
After he finished speaking, he rolled down the window and asked the driver to get in, saying, "Go home."
After saying that, he turned to Gu Yuqing and said, "It's time to go home for dinner today. Your mother misses you, and you haven't seen your brother and sister for a long time."
Gu Yuqing remained silent.
The "mother" that Gu Zongyan was referring to was naturally not Gu Yuqing's biological mother, but Wen Shujing, Gu Zongyan's stepmother.
The "brother and sister" he mentioned were naturally the children of his stepmother, the two children who regarded her as a thorn in her side and were also regarded as annoying by her.
Gu Zongyan wanted to mend the family rift and bring Gu Yuqing home regularly, but he didn't realize that this had no positive effect other than making both parties feel sick. However, he still enjoyed it, as if he was trying to move himself.
