Chapter 81 Enjoy the present, don't think about the future.
"Girl, you've been missing all afternoon. I thought you'd been kidnapped."
Did you see this on WeChat?
All the major news outlets in Jiangcheng are reporting on Gu Jingcheng's marriage.
Shi Nuan's voice was filled with gossipy excitement.
A hint of unease flashed in Lin Wei's eyes.
He cleared his throat.
"I just saw it and was just about to reply. It was quite sudden."
She followed Shi Nuan's lead, playing the role of a "spectator".
"Really? This is an absolutely shocking revelation!"
Shi Nuan's voice suddenly lowered.
"I think I've found out who that mysterious 'Mrs. Gu' is!"
Lin Wei felt a little guilty.
"...Who...who is it?"
"An Wanrong, the richest woman in Jiangcheng and the head of the An Group!"
"I heard it's her! That's why Gu Jingcheng was able to gain a foothold in the Gu family so quickly."
He managed to overthrow his uncles and become the person in charge because of the support of this female CEO!
Her power is terrifying!
Shi Nuan paused for a moment and took a sip of water.
"However... I heard that this Mr. An is not young."
He's considerably older than Gu Jingcheng; I don't know his exact age, but it's rumored in the industry.
She's an experienced older woman. Gu Jingcheng has made a significant sacrifice this time.
"..."
On the other end of the phone, Lin Wei pondered, realizing that Gu Jingcheng had this connection with the An family.
But to say that An Wanrong is Mrs. Gu is rather far-fetched.
Mrs. Gu is herself.
"Nuan Nuan, this is all fake. The Jingcheng Group is powerful and influential now."
Do we still need to rely on anyone?
"These are just rumors, don't let them mislead you."
After thinking for a moment, Shi Nuan felt that Lin Wei's words made sense.
Gu Jingcheng no longer needs to compromise himself by marrying an older woman.
But then, a brilliant idea struck her!
"Weiwei, maybe it's a debt from the past that's causing this pressure."
Lin Wei thought it was even more outrageous.
Mrs. Gu is clearly herself, yet she is being slandered by outsiders.
"Nuan Nuan, stop imagining things. We're all friends, so don't talk about him like that."
The voice on the other end of the phone rose a little, carrying a hint of probing and warning.
“That’s not right, Weiwei. I’ve noticed that no matter what I say about him, you defend him.”
You don't actually like Gu Jingcheng, do you?
Wake up, she's married now, don't make the same mistakes you did.
If you keep being love-struck, I'm really going to ignore you.
Lin Wei was both amused and exasperated.
Shi Nuan just loves gossip; she'll eat it no matter what kind of gossip it is.
I also really like to imagine things...
"Okay, okay, I understand. I have something to do, so I'll talk to you later."
Hang up the phone.
Lin Wei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the neon lights outside.
In this life, she will no longer place her hopes on anyone!
All she needs is the resources and protection that comes with being Mrs. Gu!
To reverse the Lin Group's bankruptcy and avenge his tragic death in his previous life.
As for the rest, none of that matters.
How many women are around Gu Jingcheng? Where is his heart?
She can't control it, so why add to her troubles?
She has a clear goal and uses all available resources to achieve it.
Having been given a second chance at life, she refuses to let emotions hold her back any longer.
I no longer dare to give my heart completely to a man...
Her relationship with Gu Jingcheng is perhaps more like the classic inspirational stories described in literature.
Enjoy the present moment, don't think about the future...
She has more important things to do at the dinner party tonight.
By establishing connections with the Qin family, they acquired Qin's Electronics Semiconductor Group, a major player in Ancheng.
The tender for the next-generation smart chip foundry project is about to be launched.
This project is very important to the company.
Three years ago, because of her obsession with love, the Lin Group's performance plummeted.
Market share has shrunk significantly, and there has been a serious loss of talent.
Currently, the company's cash flow is tight, and it needs a large project to recoup funds.
If we can successfully secure this OEM order from Qin's company...
The Lin family not only gained considerable profits,
It is even more likely to regain the status it had 3 years ago.
It has entered the top 10 chip companies in Jiangcheng.
This is also the first step in reversing the company's bankruptcy.
Whether or not they succeed is of paramount importance to the Lin Group.
She had already received news about Qin Simiao, the notoriously playful young master of the Qin family.
They would come to the dinner party with their friends to "join in the fun".
Although this young master holds no real power within the company and spends his days primarily on having fun.
But he was the youngest son in the Qin family and was deeply loved by Old Master Qin.
There are many competitors for this project, but if we can find a different approach...
Starting with Qin Simiao will make things much simpler.
This dinner was her only chance to make this connection.
-
The dinner was held at the hotel's Chinese restaurant.
When Lin Wei arrived, more than half of the company executives had already arrived.
Looking around, everyone was wearing dark suits, and the majority of the men were middle-aged or older.
There were a few younger ones, but most of them were second-generation kids who came with their parents to broaden their horizons.
There are almost no people as young as Lin Wei who come alone.
Therefore, everyone's attention was focused on Lin Wei.
It carried a subtle, almost imperceptible air of disdain.
Women, in a circle where capital speaks, will naturally attract skepticism.
The men exchanged glances.
It remains to be seen whether this new head of the Lin family is merely a figurehead or truly capable.
"President Lin, it's been several years since we last met, and you've truly become more and more like the Chairman Lin of yesteryear! Your speech this afternoon was excellent."
A loud male voice interrupted the gaze directed at Lin Wei from inside the private room, a gaze filled with ill intent.
He is Xue Qi, the helmsman of the Xue Group, in his early sixties, yet still in excellent spirits.
He was an old acquaintance of Lin Wei's father, and the two families had cooperated in business for many years.
Xue Qi had always liked Lin Wei very much, and even tried to match her with his son back then.
But unfortunately, her son was a good-for-nothing who spent his days philandering.
In the end, it was his father who intervened and put an end to Xue Qi's idea.
Merchants prioritize profit, and the cooperation between the two companies was not affected.
"Uncle Xue, you flatter me."
Lin smiled and nodded.
His gaze swept across the private room, or perhaps it was at Xue Qi's prompting that he...
I finally found a relatively quiet spot to sit down.
At the same time, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Two people entered.
Shao Chengyu entered first, tall and well-tailored in a custom-made suit.
The outfit perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
He has a calm and reserved demeanor, exuding the imposing aura of someone in a superior position.
The previously noisy private room instantly quieted down.
Beside him was Qin Simiao, Ancheng's notorious troublemaker.
Qin Simiao was wearing a striking pink suit.
A cynical smile played on his lips.
His gaze swept around the private room.
When his gaze swept over Lin Wei, who was sitting by the window,
Her eyes lit up, she tugged at Shao Chengyu's arm, and lowered her voice.
"Old Shao, where is your 'white moonlight'?"
After saying that, she grabbed Shao Chengyu and walked towards Lin Wei's direction.
When Shao Chengyu saw Lin Wei, his eyes lit up.
Several years have passed, but she looks almost the same as she did in college.
However, he always exudes a resilience beyond his years.
