Chapter 110
"That woman, I really hate her, she deserves to die, damn her!"
Wang Xueli smashed various vases and objects in the hotel suite.
Jack, Philos and others looked at each other.
Philos went over and put his arm around Wang Shirley's shoulders. "Shirley, what's wrong with you? Isn't today the shareholders' meeting? Did something happen?"
If a Hong Kong native were here, he would be surprised that Philos speaks Hong Kong dialect as fluently as a local.
"Yeah, Shirley, is it that Gu Xicao you mentioned who caused trouble for you?"
There was sarcasm in Manny's tone, with a lady's cigarette in her mouth and a decent white Chanel suit on her body. If she was not sitting on the desk at the moment, she would look a little more elegant.
"You don't know at all. That woman is like a ghost. She can really calculate everything!" Wang Xueli was shocked and angry. Fear appeared on her face. She was supported by Philos and sat down on the chair. She held her head in her hands. "She knows everything about what happened in Thailand and Malaysia. She knows everything! She knew it several years ago!"
The more Manny, Philos and the others heard this, the weirder the situation seemed to them.
Philos asked in a low, coaxing voice, "Shirley, tell me, what does she know?"
Jack stood up, put out the cigar in his hand in the ashtray, and asked doubtfully, "I just received a call from Thailand. The King of Thailand has been making big moves recently and has embezzled a lot of foreigners' assets. Could it be related to this matter?"
Wang Shirley raised her head and stared at Jack, "You knew about this?!"
Jack couldn't help but frown, "I just found out, but I had guessed it before."
Wang Shirley was so excited that she came forward and grabbed Jack by the collar. "You guessed it, why didn't you tell us? Do you know how much money our family invested there? A full 20 million!"
Jack impatiently shook off Wang Xueli's hand, "So what if you know? Isn't it obvious to anyone with a discerning eye? Besides, you didn't say that Gu Xicao told you a few years ago, why didn't you listen?"
Wang Xueli was speechless when asked.
Yeah, why didn't she listen.
Because she didn't want to listen, as if if she listened to Gu Xicao's words, she would lose to her.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She grabbed her hair and burst into tears. "What should I do? The company will definitely ask me for money. Philos, Philos, please help me!"
Wang Shirley grabbed Philos' hand.
Philos frowned imperceptibly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, but he patted the back of Wang Shirley's hand calmly, "Okay, don't get excited. Of course I'm on your side, but that woman, I heard you say, seems to have magical powers."
"I checked. People in Hong Kong say she is a divine fortune teller. She never misses anything."
Manni took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled, her scarlet lips curled up, "I don't believe this. If she is really so capable, why would she go on the show to earn those petty profits? To me, this must be a script. It's because you Chinese are too stupid that you were fooled around."
Jack was very cautious. He was very strong, 1.8 meters tall and 200 kilograms, a typical American white man. He shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Even if he is a liar, he must have some ability to deceive so many people. If he is really capable, then it is worth it..."
Jack exchanged glances with Manny and Philos.
The reason they contacted Wang Xueli was to collude with wealthy people, officials, and businessmen in Hong Kong through Wang Xueli, and then short the Hong Kong stock market and make a huge sum of money.
They have already used similar methods in other countries.
There is no place where people do not cooperate.
But now Wang Xueli's behavior has obviously put her at a disadvantage in the struggle with Gu Xicao. People in the upper class are most adept at flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. A character like Wang Xueli is no longer worthy of being their guide.
"Shirley, how about this, we help you get revenge, okay?"
Philos made up his mind almost immediately, his eyes turned, and his tone was particularly gentle to Wang Shirley.
Wang Xueli was in a panic. Logically, she should have gone to Yan Qin or her grandmother Zhang Yan to discuss the next countermeasures. However, she didn't know whether she was afraid to see her family, or she regarded Philos, the financial trader, as her last straw. In short, she ran here.
And Philos's gentle words made her completely relax her guard. She raised her head, looked at Philos with red and swollen eyes, and her lips trembled: "Revenge, how, how to take revenge?"
"Ms. Gu."
As soon as Gu Xicao came out of the fortune-telling workshop, someone called her. She looked up, said a few words to Wang Laoshi, and walked away.
Philos, Manny and others were stunned, and hurriedly got out of the sports car and chased after her. As a member of the same sex, Manny ran to Gu Xicao breathlessly and blocked her way.
"A good dog doesn't block the road, please get out of the way."
Gu Xicao was wearing a smoky gray suit and skirt. She raised her eyelids slightly and swept her eyes over the two of them like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Manny's face darkened. She was born into a noble family and was smart. No one had ever dared to be so rude to her. Moreover, this was in Hong Kong. No matter how developed Hong Kong's economy was, it was still mud under the feet in the eyes of white people like Manny.
"Don't be ungrateful!"
"Manny, don't be so rude to Miss Gu."
Philos came over with a gentle smile on his face. He had a fair complexion, was tall and thin, and adjusted his glasses. "There is a saying in Hong Kong that people with ability are always qualified to be unique, not to mention someone with special abilities like Miss Gu."
Gu Xicao glanced at Philos and said, "What do you want to say? Why not just say it directly?"
Beep, beep, beep——
There was a horn from the car ahead.
Philos and Manny looked over there. Lin Qianshi's BMW slowly drove over. He got out of the car, closed the door, and walked to Gu Xicao's side. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, we just came to show a little respect to Miss Gu."
Philos waved his hand, pulled Manny, and blew a kiss with his fingers, "Ms. Gu, we will meet again."
He nodded to Lin Qianshi with a half-smile, then took Manni away.
"Who are those two?"
Lin Qianshi frowned and watched Philos drive away in his sports car before he whispered to Gu Xicao, "I'm not here to cause you any trouble, am I?"
"It's not a problem, it's a good thing." Gu Xicao handed the bag to Lin Qian naturally, with his hands in his pockets, and said lazily, "I've been waiting for them to come to my door."
"???"
If Lin Qianshi hadn't known that Gu Xicao was a slow person and that he had pursued her for four or five years before he had finally won the title of her boyfriend, he would have been jealous just by hearing this sentence.
The reason is simple: Philos is too handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. The key point is that the man just now was like a peacock spreading its tail.
But even so, Lin Qianshi felt a little sour, "Who is this person? He doesn't look like a good person."
Gu Xicao uttered an "eh" and turned to look at Lin Qian, "You..."
Lin Qianshi looked at her sparkling eyes and his heart skipped a beat.
Gu Xicao said: "You are right, he is an idiot."
"Ahem."
Lin Qianshi nearly choked and coughed a few times against his lips, then looked at Gu Xicao with a helpless look.
"Shirley, where have you been!"
Yan Qin was anxiously waiting for her daughter to come back home. If she wasn't afraid of making a big deal out of it and letting the whole of Hong Kong know about her daughter's investment failure, Yan Qin would have wanted to call the police.
Seeing her daughter coming back from outside, she hurried downstairs, pulling her daughter with her.
Gu Zhizhan was watching the news. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at Wang Xueli. Wang Xueli called him "Grandpa Gu".
Gu Zhizhang was a little surprised. He hummed and asked, "Where did you go? Your grandma and your mother have been looking for you everywhere this afternoon."
Zhang Yan sighed and asked, "It's good that you're back. Why are you asking? Shirley, have you eaten? Grandma asked someone to save dinner for you."
"I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry. Grandma, Mom, please come upstairs with me. I have something to tell you."
Wang Xueli's eyes were exceptionally bright, so bright that it was even scary, as if there were two flames flickering in her eyes.
Yan Qin and Zhang Yan were both stunned.
Yan Qin pulled Wang Xueli and said, "Xueli, are you too sad? Silly child, why do you think so much? Who hasn't lost money in business? Although you lost money this time, as long as you listen to your grandfather's teachings in the future, you will be able to make a comeback."
Yan Qin winked at Wang Xueli.
Now is not the time to have a childish temper.
The Wang family invested at least 40 to 50 million yuan in overseas hotel investments, all of which were financed by using company shares and loans from Gu Zhizhang.
Now that the hotel is gone, the shares belong to Gu Zhizhang.
It can be said that Wang Xueli and her friends can only rely on Gu Zhizhang now. As long as Gu Zhizhang is willing, Wang Xueli can still live the life of a rich second-generation.
Wang Xueli understood the situation. She had also thought about speaking softly to Gu Zhizhang and trying to please him. But over the years, she had come to realize that Gu Zhizhang still resented what her grandmother had done. Otherwise, why didn't he remind her when she had suffered such a huge loss?
He also tacitly allowed her to use her shares to borrow money from him.
This was simply a trap to get her shares and give them to Gu Xicao.
Since she is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust.
"Mom, Grandpa Gu is busy teaching Gu Xicao, so he doesn't have time to take care of me. Come up with me, I have something to discuss with you."
Wang Xueli said sarcastically, pulled Yan Qin upstairs, and called Zhang Yan "Grandma" several times.
Zhang Yan had no choice, Gu Zhizhang said calmly: "Go up, she is angry now, it is easy to do stupid things, you try to persuade her."
Zhang Yan said, "I know," and then whispered, "Don't bother with the child. Shirley is just being childish. She didn't mean anything else."
Gu Zhizhan said nothing.
He was not without feelings for Wang Xueli. After all, she was a child that he had watched grow up in front of him. Although he was dissatisfied with Zhang Yan, he did not care too much about the child.
But Wang Xueli's performance in recent years really disappointed him.
He didn't remind Wang Xueli, but he didn't remind Gu Xicao either.
If you lose, blame others.
People like this cannot be helped no matter how many opportunities they are given.
