Chapter 119
Gu Jiangkuo had no interest in models and automatically ignored the last sentence. He was more concerned about: "How will you introduce me then?"
Gu Zhonghong looked at him silently. After a moment, he said calmly, "Of course he's my grandson, Gu Min's son."
"Then who is Gu Min?" Gu Jiangkuo didn't give him a chance to be vague.
Gu Zhonghong knew that the most vulnerable aspect of this grandson who had been living away from home for twenty years was his father's identity. He had previously had a conflict with his uncle over this matter.
However, this is also the area where Gu Zhonghong cannot compromise.
"Ah Kuo," Gu Zhonghong said, "you are already an adult. You should know the importance of things."
Gu Jiangkuo: "Grandpa, I'm a scoundrel with a wild temper. I don't care about the consequences. I'm not as well-educated and well-mannered as Gu Xin. If you really want to get me to a party, that's fine, but I won't be able to do or say anything. Don't worry about me, I won't be able to do anything about it either."
Gu Zhonghong hadn't expected Gu Jiangkuo to be so adamant, so he resorted to his ultimate strategy: "Ah Kuo, don't be so childish. Whatever I can give you, I can also take back. This includes the management of the casino and the shares for which I haven't yet signed a transfer agreement."
This is a naked threat.
Unfortunately, such a threat might be very lethal to Gu Jiangkuo, who had nothing in his previous life and was physically disabled. But now Gu Jiangkuo has the confidence and a way out, and that way out is called "Jiang Nuo".
"Whatever." Gu Jiangkuo said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you can't fulfill your promise. I'll just go back to China."
Gu Zhonghong: “?!”
"Do you know what 2% of the Gu Group's shares mean?" Gu Zhonghong asked solemnly, "Do you know how much wealth that is?"
"I probably know," Gu Jiangkuo said indifferently, "Your net worth has been consistently among the top ten richest people in Asia in recent years." And as far as he knew, this was only the net worth that could be registered, and there was a considerable amount of wealth that was not convenient to be counted.
2% may not seem like much, but it is actually an astronomical figure that ordinary people, even ordinary entrepreneurs, dare not imagine.
But Gu Jiangkuo said casually, "Money is something you only need to have enough to spend. You should know that when money reaches a certain level, it's just a number. I also own a company in China, which actually controls a listed company. This alone is enough for me to live a life of idleness, drinking, whoring and gambling. Do you think I'm short of money?"
Gu Zhonghong: “…”
Gu Zhonghong has believed all his life that "money makes the world go round", but he suffered a setback in front of his own grandson and was left speechless by Gu Jiangkuo.
Yes, A Kuo is not short of money at all.
Just when Mr. Gu was at his wit's end, Gu Jiangkuo said to him with sympathy, "Grandpa, you don't think I came back with you just for money, do you?"
Gu Zhonghong: “…”
Gu Jiangkuo: "I don't know what the conflict was between you and my father that led to us not seeing each other for so many years, but he never said a bad word about you when he was alive. He asked me to fulfill my filial duty to my grandfather if I could find him one day."
Mr. Gu was startled and blurted out: "Impossible."
Gu Jiangkuo thought to himself: Of course it’s impossible, my dad told me himself that my grandfather is an old bastard and I must never recognize him.
Gu Jiangkuo: "Believe it or not, I've been with you in Nanyang for so long, which can be regarded as fulfilling my father's last wish."
Mr. Gu fell silent for a long time, while the driver continued to drive silently. The low-key Rolls-Royce drove in a slow and orderly flow of traffic, bypassing rows of HDB flats and numerous shopping malls, heading towards the headquarters of the Gu Group.
After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Gu slowly spoke: "Did Ah Min really say that?"
Gu Jiangkuo looked over, puzzled, and saw that the old man seemed genuinely moved, his cloudy eyes moistening slightly. Perhaps, as people age, their hearts soften. Besides, they were father and son, after all. How could it be all hatred? Even if the couple's relationship was not harmonious, after more than a decade of companionship, there must have been a few tender moments, right?
I don’t know what Mr. Gu remembered that moved me so much, and he seemed to be feeling regretful at this moment.
However, a wrong has been done and it cannot be wiped out just because the wrongdoer repents.
Gu Jiangkuo knew the principle that 'the more lies you tell, the more mistakes you make', so he didn't try to exaggerate the situation. He just nodded calmly, "Yes."
Mr. Gu asked, "What else did he say?"
"I don't remember." Gu Jiangkuo said, "He's been dead for five or six years."
"Yes...died in a car accident." Old Master Gu said softly.
"Yes, fatigue driving," Gu Jiangkuo said, "My dad worked overtime all night without sleeping, but he still left on time the next day and took my mom to work. He drove a second-hand Tiida, which was fuel-efficient, cheaper than a taxi, and faster than the bus. Actually, their income was not bad, but the mortgage and my schooling were stressful, so they were used to living frugally. To put it bluntly, it was just like ordinary people struggling for money."
Mr. Gu fell silent again.
Although Gu Min didn't receive much fatherly love when he was young, he was still a well-known young master. Gu Zhonghong originally thought he died in an accident, but he didn't expect it to be this reason.
How could he not sigh?
Gu Jiangkuo didn't bother to pay attention to his depressed mood - he had been back for so long, but the old man had never asked his father a single question. If he hadn't mentioned it, perhaps the old man would never have cared about his dead son in his life.
"So," Gu Jiangkuo said, "I've been with you for so long, and I can be considered to have fulfilled my father's last wish. I'll just consider it as accompanying you for free. As for the shares, don't force me. I'll be back in Yanlin tomorrow, and my wife is waiting for me at home."
Gu Zhonghong: “!”
Why are we talking about returning to Yanlin?
Mr. Gu said hurriedly: "Akuo, that's not what I meant. You..."
Gu Jiangkuo didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
The grandfather and grandson each had their own thoughts. They both knew that things had come to this point, and since the 2% stake had been proposed, they had to make a decision today.
And Mr. Gu naturally would not give this "sleeping pill" back. At his age, nothing is more important than his health, and money has become something outside of his body.
As expected, Old Man Gu was the first to give up in this lengthy standoff. "I promised you the shares, and I won't break my promise. I was supposed to handle the transfer procedures today, and my lawyer is already waiting. As for the banquet, since you don't like it, I won't force you."
After saying these words with difficulty, Grandpa Gu dared to look up at Gu Jiangkuo, but accidentally bumped into the expressionless face of his grandson, with thick eyebrows, a high nose, deep facial features, and slightly dark skin. Although his skin had the tightness and delicateness unique to young people, it also showed a kind of ostentatious roughness, mixed with a very manly and aggressive temperament.
It was like a grown, young and strong lion, which made Gu Zhonghong, the "old lion king", shudder and instinctively feel fearful.
However, this threat was only fleeting, and then he saw Gu Jiangkuo smiled innocently and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Gu Zhonghong: “…Yeah.”
.
The equity transfer of Gu Group is not as simple as signing and stamping. It involves huge funds, numerous subsidiaries, and complicated procedures, and it will take at least one or two weeks.
At this time, Gu Jiangkuo, who always said that he was "fulfilling his filial duty for his father", was no longer so calm. He personally followed almost every step and did not give Gu Zhonghong any chance to regret.
But after his previous experience in the Jiang family, Gu Jiangkuo knew a little bit about everything, so there was no possibility that Mr. Gu would hide any tricks.
Gu Jiangkuo has his own plans. Once he gets the shares, he will not be able to stay in Nanyang forever.
He missed Nuonuo so much that he had to go back to China regularly for vacation to be with her, at least... at least once a week.
How could he feel at ease leaving his beautiful wife home alone? Thinking of Yu, Rong, and other little devils who might covet Nuonuo while he was away, he couldn't feel at ease.
Of course, it is impossible not to return to Nanyang. Gu Jiangkuo is definitely not as carefree as he appears in front of Mr. Gu. His ambition is the entire Gu Group. How can he really stay in a corner?
However, Mr. Gu coincidentally had the same idea as him at this time and was also thinking about the same person - Jiang Nuo.
This young Mr. Jiang had given Ah Kuo so much help, and he might even have given him some advice. Moreover, with someone like him staying in China and seducing Ah Kuo's heart, how could Ah Kuo stay with him peacefully? No, he had to separate them.
Of course, it’s impossible to do like in idol dramas, give Jiang Nuo five million and leave my grandson.
Jiang Nuo is not a child from a poor family, nor is he a short-sighted little star. He is a chairman of the board. Even if he cannot compare with wealthy families like theirs, he must have seen and experienced the world. It would cost too much to break through from him.
Gu Zhonghong is a businessman who believes in getting the greatest benefit at the lowest cost. He soon changed his mind: of course he still has to start with Gu Jiangkuo.
After all, A Kuo is still young and full of vigor. The reason he likes Jiang Nuo so much may not be just because Mr. Jiang is rich, but more because Jiang Nuo is good-looking.
As long as he offers a high enough price, he can find enough handsome boys in Nanyang. He doesn't believe that A Kuo will not change his mind.
There's no need to really change his heart. If Ah Kuo does something to let Jiang Nuo down, he can just find a way to let Mr. Jiang know. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
.
Gu Zhonghong had a plan in mind and immediately began to secretly collect handsome male models and young stars.
It takes time to collect handsome boys, and it also takes time to handle the equity change procedures. The grandfather and grandson were busy and busy, but they completed the tasks almost at the same time.
Gu Jiangkuo, who had finally completed the equity transfer agreement, immediately went to ask for leave from Mr. Gu, or "notification" would be more accurate.
He was eager to return to Yanlin and see Nuonuo - he had been busy with equity transfers and casino affairs these days. Gu Jiangkuo hadn't connected with Jiang Nuon via microphone to tell him bedtime stories for several days. He missed his wife so much that he was going crazy.
On this day, the boys that Mr. Gu had selected also arrived.
These boys have all signed strict confidentiality agreements and have gone through layers of screening - from height, body shape, age, appearance and other aspects, which is more stringent than the selection of concubines in the harem - before they can appear here.
You can tell that the people working below have put in a lot of effort. All of them are as good-looking as the stars on TV - some are even real stars - and when they get together, they are a beautiful sight. As soon as they enter the door, the servants in the Gu residence are all staring at them with their eyes wide open. Even Gu Xin, who is concerned about the protagonist, can't help but stop and secretly follow them to take a few more glances.
The boys received a notice that whoever could capture Mr. Gu would receive a huge reward. Even if no one could capture him, anyone who had close contact with him and was photographed by the photographer lying in ambush nearby could also receive a generous bonus. This was undoubtedly a piece of cake for these veterans in the world of romance, so they were all ready to try their best to make a fortune in the Gu residence.
However, when they actually met Gu Jiangkuo, the real person who came back to Gu's house to ask for "leave" from Old Man Gu, they just rushed over, but before they could do anything, the real person took a long step and ran away, and ran so fast that they didn't have any chance to rush over.
The boys: “?”
The photographer lying in ambush nearby, ready to take the photo: "?"
Then I heard the tall, booming Mr. Gu yell, "Don't come over here! Stay away from me!"
Gu Jiangkuo wrinkled his nose in disdain. What kind of perfume would a bunch of men wear? He was planning to fly back to Yanlin tonight. If he got stained with their perfume, how would he explain it to Nuonuo?
The author has something to say:
Sorry for the two hours late update. I had something urgent to do in the evening and went out without writing anything. I was busy until almost 12 o'clock before I got home. I just finished writing QAQ
