Gu Yibei's expression was still incredibly sour, but he still took the red wine.
You have to give face to your brother-in-law.
After Ji Pengfei was kicked out, Mu Daxiang and his daughter, as well as Wang Shanshan and her brother, became noticeably more obedient. No one dared to provoke Gu Yibei, and things proceeded relatively smoothly afterward.
While chatting with Gu Yibei and other CEOs, many people extended olive branches seeking cooperation after learning that ZN was Gu Yibei's fiancée's company.
Actually, ZN is not bad. The reason they didn't cooperate before was partly because ZN rose too quickly. They were afraid that it was just a fireworks company that would only be famous for a short time and would soon fall from its glory and return to obscurity.
Another aspect is that ZN's rise was too rapid, and you offended many people, such as Ji Pengfei and Mu Daxiang. Other company executives, especially those who had good relations with the Ji and Mu families, would keep this in mind and choose to refuse to cooperate with ZN.
Now that everyone knows ZN has connections with the two powerful families, who still cares about his friendship with Ji Pengfei and Mu Daxiang? Friendship is worthless; money is far more important!
After Ji Zhinan met with several CEOs, Gu Yibei felt sorry for her and told her to go back upstairs to rest.
All the CEOs who couldn't get a chance to see Ji Zhinan went to Xing Minggao. Ji Zhinan was also a little tired, so she nodded.
"I'll walk you upstairs," the man said, putting down his wine glass.
"No need," Ji Zhinan refused. "I can go up by myself."
“But…” The man frowned, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Zhinan.
"I'm not a child anymore," Ji Zhinan said, looking at him irritably. "It's just going upstairs."
Moreover, Gu Yibei has already announced her status as his future wife, so she thinks no one would be so reckless as to provoke her again.
Gu Yibei thought for a few seconds before nodding.
Gently stroking Ji Zhinan's soft hair, a smile appeared in his eyes: "Go and rest for a while, I'll take you home later."
"good."
Ji Zhinan went upstairs alone.
When she reached the second floor, a figure blocked her way. Ji Zhinan frowned slightly when she saw who it was.
“Miss Ji…” Wang Haoran looked at Ji Zhinan, his eyes no longer filled with love.
Although he comes from a wealthy and privileged family, Ji Zhinan is Gu Yibei's fiancée, and there is a deep chasm between them that they can never cross in this lifetime. He dares not covet Gu Yibei's wife.
He's here now only for one thing—
“I didn’t know you were Gu Yibei’s fiancée. I apologize for my previous behavior. Please, Miss Ji, forgive my rudeness and let Wang Shi go. Wang Shi is my father’s life’s work. These past few days, the company has been in trouble, and his hair has turned completely white. Please, Miss Ji, let us go. I promise I will never appear in front of you again and embarrass you…”
That same day, Wang Shi was struck by disaster. The Wang Shi who had been a respected figure in the capital for many years was overwhelmed overnight. In just a few days, she was already battered and bruised, on the verge of bankruptcy. She was now barely clinging to life.
Wang Haoran knew that he must have offended Gu Yibei to cause the attack on the company. After learning that Xing Minggao would be attending the banquet, he went to great lengths to obtain the admission qualification.
He had originally planned to ask Xing Minggao's daughter, Xing Fei, who was a good friend of Ji Zhinan, to put in a good word for him with Ji Zhinan. Unexpectedly, Ji Zhinan showed up, and not only that, Gu Yibei also arrived, revealing his identity...
