Chapter 120 The unexpected truth



Capital, courtyard house.

"Kneel down!" Gu Shuanghui pointed at Gu Zhanwu and shouted angrily.

"dad!"

"Kneel down!" Gu Shuanghui raised the feather duster in his hand.

With a thud, Gu Zhanwu quickly knelt down.

"You, you, you make me so angry!"

Gu Shuanghui then looked at his daughter again: "Why didn't you stop your brother?"

Gu Zhanyan lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. This meant that she didn't participate before but just watched, otherwise she would have to kneel with her brother.

"Don't be angry." Gu Shuanghui's wife Li Hongyue advised.

"Humph!" Gu Shuanghui sat back in his chair: "Did I ever tell you not to mess with Si Mingyu?"

"have."

"Then why don't you obey?"

"Dad! What did I do wrong? Why are you so nice to Si Mingyu? I am your son." Gu Zhanwu shouted unconvinced.

"Why? Okay, I'll tell you why today." Gu Shuanghui picked up the documents on the table and threw them in front of Gu Zhanwu.

"Zhan Yan, take a look too."

Gu Zhanwu picked up the document, and Gu Zhanyan squatted beside his brother. The two of them looked at it carefully page by page. The more they read, the more frightened they became. In the end, Gu Zhanwu could no longer hold the document.

"Dad, this is not true! Tell me this is not true!" Gu Zhanwu shouted while hugging Gu Shuanghui's legs.

"It's written clearly in black and white." Gu Shuanghui was unmoved.

Tear! Tear! Gu Zhanwu shredded the document. "The document is gone! This isn't true."

"Brother, calm down, it's just a copy." Gu Zhanyan grabbed the almost crazy Gu Zhanwu and persuaded him.

"Dad, please tell me earlier! Please tell me earlier!" Gu Zhanwu continued shouting.

"Earlier? I told you not to cause trouble a long time ago. Did you listen?"

"But this document."

"I just learned the contents of this document."

"Is there no other way? Dad, you know so many people, can't you find a way to solve it?" Gu Zhanwu shouted unwillingly.

"Didn't you see who the guarantor was? It doesn't matter who I know."

"Dad!" Gu Zhanwu shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Get out!" Gu Shuanghui cursed.

"Dad!" Gu Zhanwu still held Gu Shuanghui's legs tightly.

"Drag him out!" Gu Shuanghui kicked his son away.

The bodyguard next to him came up and dragged Gu Zhanwu out of the yard and threw him outside the courtyard gate.

"You go too." Gu Shuanghui said to his daughter. At this moment, he seemed to have aged by dozens of years.

"Yes." Gu Zhanyan nodded and agreed, then staggered away.

Li Hongyue went over and closed the door. Gu Shuanghui, who was sitting on the chair, breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's hard for you to put on this show." Li Hongyue picked up the scattered documents on the ground.

"It's solved. This is also good for them." Gu Shuanghui casually put the feather duster on the table.

"But this change was too sudden. I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it." Li Hongyue was a little worried.

"Alas, I am saving their lives. What else can I do? Besides, at least I can ensure that they will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives, right?" Gu Shuanghui sighed.

"Indeed, there is no good solution." Li Hongyue also sat down.

Word quickly spread about Si Mingyu's encounter with Gu Zhanwu and Gu Zhanyan at the Chang'an Club. Besides club staff, other members were also present. Simply put, Gu Zhanwu had led a group into trouble and ended up losing face, and the story was then widely spread by several of his younger generation rivals.

After returning to Shanghai, Si Mingyu specifically called Gu Shuanghui and told him that he was pretending to be sick in the hospital, and that this matter had nothing to do with the brother and sister and asked him not to worry about it.

In the past, it was not a big deal for Gu Zhanwu to complain privately at a gathering of young people, but now it has escalated to the point of coming to someone's house to cause trouble.

Gu Shuanghui originally thought that if a conflict really arose, Si Mingyu would just give in and Gu Zhanwu would just quit while he was ahead. However, things did not go as he wished. Si Mingyu did indeed humble himself and give Gu Zhanwu enough face, but in this situation, Gu Zhanwu not only did not stop but continued to force Si Mingyu to drink with others, which was too much.

If it was someone else causing trouble, this would be easy to deal with, but Gu Zhanwu happened to be Gu Shuanghui's son, and the company had to intervene when someone from the same company caused such a thing.

Just as Gu Shuanghui had previously told Si Mingyu, he was a world-renowned billionaire and a leading investment guru in China, but that was just the identity the company had assigned him. Decades of luxury and influence weren't about Gu Shuanghui being that powerful.

When the company arranged for him to give the first batch of shares to Si Mingyu, they had already told him that the assets he was responsible for managing would eventually belong to Si Mingyu. Gu Shuanghui was not surprised by this because this was the task the company had given him in the first place.

Originally, he was not so anxious, but after what happened to Gu Zhanwu, Gu Shuanghui took the initiative to ask for an early resolution because he could not tell his children about the company's affairs. In order to prevent his son from making big mistakes in the future, it would be better to end the matter early.

So there was such a document.

Gu Shuanghui's rise to fame can be summarized as follows: early on, under the guidance of a skilled investor, he invested in Penguin, acquiring a 1% stake in the company, now valued at NT$33.7 billion. Due to this successful investment, he was invited to become the head of a company he still manages.

Of course, it also has something to do with Gu Shuanghui's background. Gu Shuanghui's grandfather and Si Mingyu's grandfather were colleagues, and he and Si Mingyu's father grew up together. Later, Gu Shuanghui married Li Hongyue, a daughter of a wealthy family, which is why the company appointed him as the head. He has a good family background and is capable.

The company was founded very early. It was co-founded in Hong Kong by a company called "United Bank".

At that time, "United Bank" held 30% of the shares and the major shareholder Li Hongming held 70% of the shares. This was done to better carry out work. The two companies made great contributions to China during a special period.

In 1948, the "United Bank" was renamed "China Resources Company". This company continued to use the original name "Guoxing Company" because the name read backwards means "Xingguo".

At that time, the assets of "Guoxing Company" were already very high, but Li Hongming donated his shares directly. When the leaders learned about this, they did not agree. Instead, they said that since you had contributed money in the beginning and later risked your life to provide a large amount of urgently needed materials for the country, you should not be taken advantage of.

An agreement was drafted, stating that the company's shares would be held by the government on behalf of Li Hongming and his descendants, and that they could take them back at any time. Later, as Guoxing Company grew, the government withdrew its holdings, and the company became a completely private company, but its size and influence remained unchanged.

Li Hongming no longer cared about the "Guoxing Company", but re-established the "Xiangjiang Hongming Industry" in Hong Kong. After his death, the company was handed over to his daughter Li Yinghua.

Now, the lawyer with Ms. Li Yinghua's will and the agreement from that year has found Gu Shuanghui.
