Chapter 148: Celebrating the Festival?
With such a "never-ending" history, Gu He and Li Ting would rarely appear in the same space.
Even if they were forced to get together due to some unavoidable official business, they would have stern faces and be on edge the entire time.
The Xu family and the Gu family are close, so it's not surprising that Gu He would come, but the problem is that no one expected Li Ting to come too.
As a result, as soon as the two of them met eyes, the invisible oppression became even stronger.
Li Ting and Yun Ran came together.
Yun Ran has been hiding her relationship with Li Ting from the outside world, so of course she can't let it go to waste at this moment.
So even if Li Ting wanted to come to today's party, she couldn't go with him. Gu He happened to call and said he would come to pick her up, so Yun Ran went along with it.
At this moment, she was wearing a sky-blue haute couture dress with big waves on her hair, standing beside Gu He.
His eyes met Li Ting in the corner, then quickly looked away.
Gu He noticed her gaze and thought she was not used to this atmosphere. He tilted his head and lowered his voice to explain, "Li Ting is here too."
Yun Ran nodded but didn't express any opinion.
Gu He continued, "Li Ting and I have a rather tense relationship, and it's rare for us to appear in the same banquet hall so calmly, so this might be a new thing for everyone."
"Is that so?" Yun Ran agreed halfheartedly. As he spoke, he actually became curious. "But, do you and Li Ting have any problems?"
"Celebrating a festival?" Gu He shook his head firmly, "No. I didn't even know him before he became famous."
Li Ting's experience can be considered legendary. As an ignored child with a broken leg, there is really nothing noteworthy about him among the many young masters of the same generation in the Li family.
At that time, no one expected that Hongling Group would eventually fall into Li Ting's hands.
It was precisely for this reason that before Li Ting came to power, he had no presence at all, and in Gu He's impression, there was no intersection between them at all.
"Then why is the relationship so bad now?" Yun Ran asked.
Gu He shook his head: "I don't know either. It should be that he just doesn't like me."
Yun Ran raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
Gu He: "He came to power a few years ago. After he seized actual control of Hongling Group, he carried out drastic reforms and dealt with dishonest people with drastic measures. It took him a lot of effort to secure his position."
"At that time, he didn't pay much attention to the outside world. Only after the company stabilized internally did Li Ting begin to expand the business and develop steadily."
Having said that, Gu He paused for a moment. Even looking back now, he still felt confused.
"Logically speaking, if he had considered Gu's a rival from the beginning, he should have taken action against Gu's when the company was stabilizing and developing vigorously."
"But during that time, he showed no signs of provoking Gu's company. Not only that, his attitude was even friendly." "But for some reason, three years ago, he suddenly went crazy and attacked Gu's company recklessly, willing to inflict heavy losses on himself and his enemies in order to snatch projects and resources from Gu's company."
"It just kept getting worse and worse until it got to where it is now."
Yun Ran was stunned: "Three years ago?"
"Yeah." Gu He nodded. "During that time...you happened to be in trouble, and I was in a very bad state. Li Ting probably thought the time was right, so he changed his strategy and turned to deal with the Gu family."
