Gu Jixing continued forward, meeting Gu Xiuzhe's surprised gaze, and finally stopped in the main seat.
Assistant Chenhe came over and moved the chair from the head seat, allowing Gu Jixing to maneuver the wheelchair to the head seat of the conference table.
Chen He did not move the original chair away, but placed it next to Gu Jixing.
After doing all this, Chen He retreated behind Gu Jixing and stood quietly.
A short while later, another person entered the conference room.
This person was tall and slender, with delicate and handsome features, and a pair of bright, fox-like eyes; it was Fu Bai.
After entering the conference room, he went straight to Gu Jixing and sat down next to him naturally. His posture was relaxed and casual, as if he didn't consider this a formal occasion.
In that short while, Gu Xiuzhe seemed to have processed what he had just witnessed. His eyes were fixed on Gu Jixing, and his tone was still filled with disbelief: "Gu Jixing, you are G?"
Gu Xiuzhe's face turned from green to white, then white to red, like a palette of colors had been used—it was quite a spectacle.
Gu Jixing grabbed Fu Bai's hand and played with it. Hearing this, he glanced at it and scoffed, "Haven't seen you for a while. Where has your manners gone? You can't even call me 'Uncle' and 'Aunt' anymore?"
Gu Xiuzhe then noticed Fu Bai standing next to Gu Jixing, and felt inexplicably embarrassed, subconsciously tugging at the hem of his suit jacket.
How did Fu Bai come about?
Does he feel sorry for himself when he sees his current disheveled state?
Gu Xiuzhe's thoughts wandered, and his gaze toward Fu Bai became somewhat pitiful.
Fu Bai didn't even glance at Gu Xiuzhe from beginning to end, only asking impatiently, "When will this end?"
He came to watch Gu Xiuzhe's downfall, but once he arrived and saw the other's face, Fu Bai lost interest.
"Tired?" Gu Jixing asked Fu Bai softly and gently.
They had just gotten off the plane and were still jet-lagged, having barely slept on the flight, so it was normal for them to be sleepy now.
Fu Bai nodded: "I'm sleepy."
Gu Jixing suggested, "Shall I hold you and let you sleep for a while?"
Fu Bai: "Ang."
He didn't care about the occasion, and sat on Gu Jixing's lap as if he knew exactly where to go, burying his head in his neck, closing his eyes, and really intending to fall asleep.
The meeting room was extremely quiet.
Everyone's gaze involuntarily fell on Gu Jixing and Fu Bai in his arms.
Fu Bai is clearly over 1.8 meters tall, but when curled up in Gu Jixing's arms, he looks like a small ball, like a beautiful fox sleeping on its owner's lap.
Aside from being a little surprised at first, the scene in front of me looked quite harmonious, without any sense of incongruity.
Surprisingly, no one wanted to make a sound and break this beautiful moment.
Of course, Gu Xiuzhe was not among these people.
He saw Fu Bai and Gu Jixing being intimately close as if no one else was around, and his eyes turned red with jealousy. He really wanted to replace Gu Jixing.
Fortunately, reason still prevailed.
Gu Xiuzhe returned the question to Gu Jixing, speaking almost accusingly: "Uncle..."
But as soon as he made a sound, Gu Jixing made a "shh" gesture at him: "He's asleep, keep your voice down."
Gu Xiuzhe: "..."
He really wanted to yell at Gu Jixing, "Why did you bring Fu Bai here? To make him laugh at me?"
Gu Xiuzhe didn't want to wake Fu Bai, so he took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Uncle, since you are Mr. G, you can definitely save the Gu family. Why do you just watch the Gu family go bankrupt? And why do you want to acquire the Gu family?"
"Uncle, the Gu family has treated you well all these years. Just because Grandpa made you step down as the vice president of Gu Corporation, you won't lend a hand to save Gu Corporation? How can you be so cold-blooded?"
As he continued speaking, Gu Xiuzhe became increasingly unable to control his emotions, and his voice involuntarily rose.
Fu Bai seemed disturbed, frowned, and shifted in Gu Jixing's arms.
Gu Jixing quickly patted his back and gave Gu Xiuzhe a cold look: "Gu Xiuzhe, your voice is a bit loud."
Gu Xiuzhe: ::::::
Gu Jixing turned and gave Chen He a wink.
Chen He understood, took a document, tiptoed to Gu Xiuzhe's side and whispered, "President Gu, please sign this document. All the other directors of Gu's Group have signed it, only you are left."
Gu Xiuzhe took the document Chen He handed him, staring at the word "acquisition" on it, his chest heaving.
He knew that once he signed and stamped the acquisition contract, the Gu family would never again be the Gu family.
Gu Jixing has no heart; he would never allow this group to bear any trace of his return home.
Gu Xiuzhe's hand holding the pen trembled. He didn't want to sign or stamp it, but he had no choice.
Seeing that Gu Xiuzhe was hesitant to write, Chen He urged, "Mr. Gu, please sign."
Gu Xiuzhe subconsciously looked at Gu Jixing, and finally couldn't help but hope that he could have a change of heart and choose to invest in Gu's instead of acquiring it, so that Gu's could completely change its ownership.
Gu Jixing noticed the gaze directed at him by his nephew and gently kissed Fu Bai's earlobe.
Then, slowly, their eyes met.
Even though Gu Jixing still maintained his indifferent and aloof demeanor, Gu Xiuzhe seemed to see a kind of smugness and domineering attitude in his eyes, as if he were asserting his sovereignty.
Gu Xiuzhe's pupils contracted, and he suddenly understood why Gu Jixing had come to participate in the Gu Group's acquisition—he wanted to assert ownership of Fubai.
Looking at Fu Bai nestled obediently and quietly in Gu Jixing's arms, Gu Xiuzhe felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
In the end, he could only sign his name and stamp the acquisition contract with red eyes.
Chen He put the contract away and tiptoed back behind Gu Jixing.
This is an acquisition deal whose details were agreed upon long ago. Today, the two parties only need to sign a contract, which will take no more than ten minutes.
After the contract was signed, the other directors in the conference room wanted to go up to Gu Jixing to greet him and build a relationship, since they had all worked together at Gu's company before.
Moreover, Gu Jixing's status is no longer what it used to be. He is now a legend in the business world of Country C, known as Mr. G, the Midas Touch.
Even a small project leaked from him would be enough for them to make a fortune.
It turned out that the directors of the Gu family were eager to make a move, and they were all leaning forward, intending to go find Gu Jixing.
But they saw Gu Jixing's group quietly packing their things and tiptoeing out of the conference room, afraid of making any noise that might disturb the baby in Gu Jixing's arms.
The directors of the Gu family: ...
How could they dare to step forward? Arguing with Fu Bai was considered utterly heinous by Gu Jixing.
So one by one, they followed Chen He's example and left the meeting room with great seriousness.
Gu Xiuzhe witnessed this scene and stood up speechlessly.
He stood up, causing the chair behind him to slide backward with a sharp sound.
As soon as the sound rang out, Gu Xiuzhe received a glare from Gu Jixing.
That one look was so imposing that it made Gu Xiuzhe feel guilty. He immediately softened his movements and tiptoed around cautiously.
