Although he understood that Xia Longju meant well, Gu Zongyan still found it a little difficult to speak.
He has a Cao Cao-like personality. In business, he can judge the situation and bend and stretch, but getting him to admit his mistakes in person is extremely difficult.
Chen Ya is a newcomer in business, and he also has a close relationship with his daughter. In both aspects, he is Gu Zongyan's junior.
Asking him to apologize to the younger generation would be like asking him to die.
If Chen Ya was not in this position, he would have bowed his head, but now, he felt like he was being roasted on the fire.
Xia Longju also saw his dilemma and said:
"Old Gu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but the child is grown up and has his own ideas about marriage and love. I don't think my niece is a person without vision, so please don't interfere!"
Xia Longju felt that the current conflict between the two sides was still due to Gu Zongyan's attempt to separate the two lovers.
He didn't intend to ask Gu Zongyan to really apologize, he just wanted to take this opportunity to help smooth out the relationship between Gu Yuqing and Chen Ya.
However, he didn't know much about the Gu family's hidden secrets.
Before Gu Zongyan could speak, Gu Yuqing spoke first and said:
"Uncle Xia, there's no need to persuade my dad. I've told you many times that I will never fall in love or get married in this life."
When she said this, she had a smile on her face, looking graceful and generous, but no one could guess what was beneath the smile.
Xia Longju was a little surprised, but he smiled and said, "You don't have to be angry..."
"I'm not angry." Gu Yuqing said, "I really won't get married."
Gu Zongyan pondered for a moment and said:
"I've always wanted to tell you this. It's unlikely that you'll ever be single and never get married. I have only one request: the person you marry must have the surname Gu."
Xia Longju looked at Gu Zongyan in surprise. He had never known that he was so feudal.
Gu Zongyan continued, "You don't have to speculate who I will hand over the family business to. I might as well make it clear here. I have always intended to hand over the business to you. Otherwise, I would not have allowed you to continue to gain experience at Gaoshan Capital."
The person who was most surprised to hear this was not anyone else but Wen Shujing.
She stood up in shock and shouted, "What about Benli? What about Chengxi?"
Gu Zongyan reached out and pushed her down onto her seat, saying, "Don't interrupt!"
Under Gu Zongyan's harsh words, Wen Shujing dared not speak, and Gu Zongyan slowly said:
"Doing business isn't about passing on the throne or protecting the country. It requires a lot of hardship and difficult decisions. Benli's personality isn't suited to business, so I didn't even consider him from the beginning."
After that, he turned to Gu Yuqing and said, "But I also have a bottom line. Whether you are in a relationship or getting married, it's all fine. I won't interfere, but the person must have the surname Gu."
Gu Yuqing stood there in astonishment, stunned for a long time.
In the past, she always thought that it was enough for her to just get by, and showing her excellence at work was just to save face.
She never thought that Gu Zongyan's hidden thoughts were like this.
What also surprised her was that Gu Zongyan knew that Gu Yuqing was the only one in the family who could carry on the family business, but he still had such a childish request.
"Don't you think your request is unreasonable?" Gu Yuqing asked.
"What's unreasonable?" Gu Zongyan said, "It's not that names can't be changed. Let me tell you, Cai Zhenyi just came to me privately. The name on his ID card has been changed. He is now called Gu Zhenyi, but it hasn't been popularized yet."
After that, he continued, "Of course, I wouldn't be interested in someone like him, even if he changed his name. I just gave you an example to show you that surnames can be changed."
After all, Cai Zhenyi is a friend of the elderly.
He had been drinking tea with Gu Zongyan for so long and pretending to be a close friend regardless of age difference for so long, but it was not in vain.
He was the one who understood Gu Zongyan's thoughts the most. He even understood Gu Zongyan's thoughts better than Gu Yuqing.
After hearing this news, Gu Yuqing was even more shocked.
Not only was I shocked, but I also wanted to laugh.
Gu Zhenyi?
It’s so funny!
But... she thought again, what would happen if Chen Ya changed his name to Gu Ya?
It sounds pretty good.
Gu Zongyan turned to Chen Ya and asked, "What do you think?"
Chen Ya paused and asked, "Are you asking me what I think about changing my name?"
Gu Zongyan spread his hands: "What else?"
Chen Ya said: "I think your conditions are too harsh."
Gu Zongyan's eyes gradually widened.
"My conditions are harsh?" Gu Zongyan sat up straight. "Boy, do you know what I mean? Do you know what you are saying?"
After all, Gu Zongyan was concerned about his reputation and didn't want to speak too bluntly.
But he felt that he had made himself clear.
What does it mean to be willing to tell Chen Ya this condition?
Doesn’t that mean that he has accepted Chen Ya as his son-in-law!
Who was Gu Zongyan? He could cause a stock market turmoil with just one sentence, so why would he play a joke on others for no reason?
Telling Chen Ya this was just the finishing touch - as long as Chen Ya changed his name to Gu Ya, Gu Yuqing would be his.
All of the Gu family’s assets will belong to him and Gu Yuqing in the future.
This is not a question of working ten years less.
Even if an ordinary person works hard for ten lifetimes, he or she may not be able to reach the status of the Gu family.
Being able to create a hit game is indeed remarkable, but Gujia's scale is still not something a startup can match.
Chen Ya's company is at most active in the IT field.
