Chapter 3 Playing Hard to Get
Seeing Gu Jingcheng get out of the car, Gu Xuan greeted him with a fawning expression, "Uncle, is it really you?"
He caught a glimpse of the woman in the car, and his heart skipped a beat. He wanted to get a closer look with suspicion.
But he was intimidated by Gu Jingcheng's gaze and gave an awkward, dry laugh.
"Uncle, it is my honor to have you here. My mother has been waiting for you for a long time. Let me take you upstairs."
Gu Jingcheng glanced at him, his expression cold. "I heard your mother is going to hand over the Gu family business to you?"
Gu Xuan bowed and scraped with a forced smile, "Uncle, this matter requires your approval."
"But don't worry, after so many years of hard work at Gu's Group, I am fully capable of being the general manager of Gu's Group."
"My mother is very satisfied with me. All you need to do is express your opinion at the shareholders' meeting."
I will definitely work hard to run the company well.
Gu Jingcheng exuded the aura of a superior, with sharp eyes.
"It seems you and your son have made up your minds?"
"Uncle, we dare not. We need you to make the decision."
Gu Xuan took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, not daring to breathe loudly.
My mother was right; my uncle was the most difficult person to deal with in the Gu family.
Now is the crucial moment for him to take power, and he cannot afford to say a single wrong word.
Lin Wei watched the two of them quietly from inside the car.
Jingcheng Group is the major shareholder of Gu's Group.
Gu Xuan wanted to take control of the company, so naturally he needed his uncle's approval.
As long as she can successfully marry Gu Jingcheng, Gu Xuan, that two-faced scumbag, will never be able to take that position.
She straightened her skirt, which Gu Jingcheng had messed up, still feeling shaken.
Gu Jingcheng was indeed unpredictable; his gaze just now was cold and ruthless.
Lin Wei couldn't help but shiver.
Today, she has already missed the best opportunity, and Gu Jingcheng doesn't seem to have a good impression of her.
Waiting in the car won't change anything, so why not...
As Gu Jingcheng entered the Gu Group building, she picked up the white coat he had taken off and put it on, then picked up her high heels and got out of the car.
In this life, she will never again be the kind of foolish woman who is manipulated by men.
What she needs to do is control men and make them a powerful asset in her revenge...
She had to meticulously plan every step to capture that aloof and noble man.
Gu Jingcheng will eventually fall head over heels for her.
"Lin Wei, you were indeed in my uncle's car."
Gu Xuan grabbed her wrist, his eyes filled with anger.
"What's it to you?"
Lin Wei shook off his hand, her eyes filled with hatred.
Gu Xuan softened his tone, "Weiwei, what's wrong with you? Have you fallen for your uncle?"
"Don't be silly, my uncle has a hidden problem in that area; he can't get married."
"As soon as you sign the investment contract, I'll have my mother come over to discuss the wedding details, okay?"
Gu Xuan held her hand, gazing at her tenderly.
"What right do you have to marry me?" Lin Wei wished she could tear his mask off right now.
In his previous life, he took advantage of her love for him and bleed her dry.
In the end, he cruelly murdered her and her unborn child, showing absolutely no mercy and not even worthy of being called a human being.
"What kind of spoiled princess are you throwing now? I've already done so much to coax you, don't be ungrateful."
"Go up and sign the contract before I get angry, and I won't hold this against you."
“Weiwei, we’ll be a family soon. My becoming the general manager is also an honor for you.”
Lin Wei ignored his attempts to please her, got into the pink Bentley, and started the car.
"What makes you think that I, the general manager of the Lin Group, would be interested in a bastard like you?"
I'm formally informing you that I'm announcing the annulment of our engagement. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.
Before he could speak, he stepped on the gas and sped away.
Gu Xuan watched the pink Bentley disappear into the distance, his eyes visibly turning vicious.
Lin Wei used to listen to him and dote on him.
Now they're taking advantage of my kindness!
He took out his phone. "That bitch suddenly stopped investing and wants to break off the engagement. You should try to persuade her."
The voice on the other end of the phone was soft, sweet, and gentle.
"Don't worry, my sister listens to me the most. I guarantee she'll marry you wholeheartedly."
Gu Jingcheng left the Gu Group and returned to his car without making a sound, only to find the back seat empty.
Very good, playing hard to get.
However, he was curious about what kind of spell Gu Xuan had cast on her.
It made her willing to sacrifice her looks to get close to him.
He got into the car, and his assistant, Qiu Cheng, handed him a list at the opportune moment.
"Mr. Gu, this is the guest list for tonight's banquet. Do you need any changes?"
Gu Jingcheng took the list and frowned. "Remove my stupid nephew from the list."
“Okay, Mr. Gu, we are new to Jiangcheng, and the Lin Group has a great reputation.”
"Does the Lin Group need an invitation?"
Qiu Cheng lowered his eyes to observe, and seeing that Gu Jingcheng did not speak, he mustered up his courage to explain.
"Lin Wei, the general manager of the Lin Group, doesn't like to show her face in public, so she always sends her cousin Lin Yan to these kinds of banquets."
"Lin Yan has a very bad reputation in Jiangcheng. It is said that she is an illegitimate child. Over time, the banquets in Jiangcheng's business circle have tacitly agreed not to invite them."
Gu Jingcheng picked up the scrap of paper. A faint minty scent wafted into his nostrils on the breeze, so faint it was almost an illusion.
"You personally deliver the invitation to Lin Wei."
Lin Wei left the Gu Group and returned to her company.
Mountains may crumble, people may run away, but a woman's career is her only true support.
In this lifetime, she will never again be blinded by love and become an incurable love-struck fool.
"I heard that the famous Jingcheng Group in Beicheng is hiring, and the salary is twice as high as here."
"I've also heard that Gu Jingcheng, the general manager of Jingcheng Group, is handsome and dashing."
She's 32 and still unmarried; if he takes a liking to her, she could rise to a life of luxury and wealth.
"You can forget about that. Their company is known for its militaristic management style. How many people can stand it?"
"And, here's something you don't know: Gu Jingcheng is impotent in that area."
There isn't even a female mosquito around. If he takes a liking to me, wouldn't I be living the life of a widow?
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? My cousin works at their company, and everyone in the company knows that."
"Mr. Lin..."
As Lin Wei walked in, everyone scattered in different directions.
Lin Wei frowned. Could it be that Gu Jingcheng was really acting the whole time in the car? Then how could she seduce him?
Hearing is believing, it seems I should find an opportunity to verify it myself.
"President Lin, something terrible has happened!"
Secretary Chen Nian rushed over, looking flustered.
"What's up?"
"The research and development team of the Gu Group suddenly withdrew."
“They said they would come back whenever you signed the investment agreement, and now the entire R&D department is in chaos.”
Lin Wei clenched her fist; Gu Xuan was threatening her!
She has already invested hundreds of millions in this project, and it looks like it's about to succeed.
Stopping now would undoubtedly mean losing everything.
