Gu Rong's words made Gu Zhenting even more unhappy.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Zheng Yingfei gritted her teeth and pulled Gu Rong back to the chair.
She couldn't help but mutter to him: "Grandpa is annoying enough, and you are adding fuel to the fire. Are you itching for trouble?"
Gu Rong replied unconvincedly, "I'm speaking from the heart. With Grandpa around, who can sit comfortably in the position of CEO of Gu Corporation?"
"You mean, if I die, you'll all feel better, right?"
Suddenly, Gu Zhenting's words came out in a sinister voice, frightening Gu Rong so much that his face turned pale.
He waved his hands hurriedly: "This, this, I didn't say that, I meant that you should worry less and enjoy more..."
"Stop talking right now!" Zheng Yingfei glared at her husband desperately, trying to calm the old man down. "The CEO position symbolizes supreme status and power. How many people want it but aren't qualified? Since you don't cherish it, are you afraid that the huge Gu family won't have someone to take over? Every uncle sitting here is a rare talent. Grandpa, don't worry, the Gu family has plenty of elite soldiers and generals!"
After hearing this, Gu Zhenting cast a hawk-like gaze at the attendees. "Who among you is willing to replace Gu Zheng? Raise your hands and let me see! I don't have to have Gu Zheng as the head of the Gu Group!"
However, the uncles and aunts in the living room seemed to have a tacit understanding. They lowered their heads and kept silent, and no one dared to raise his hand to be the first to speak out.
The scene suddenly fell into silence.
The atmosphere around them was filled with an awkwardness that almost penetrated the earth.
Zheng Yingfei couldn't help but dig her toes into the floor.
The words came out of her mouth first, but no one responded.
These uncles and aunts are so cowardly and silent that they have really grown Gu Zheng's ambition for nothing!
After waiting for a while, no one raised their hand, and a string of old and sarcastic laughter gradually spread.
Gu Zhenting shook his head and sneered, pointing at these cowards, saying, "You've been living too comfortably these past few years, your muscles and bones are so weak that you can't even stand up straight! There are dozens of people here, and not a single one dares to stand up and take the lead! Interesting, haha..."
"Maybe these uncles are still considering it." Zheng Yingfei tried to save some face.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhenting's eyes fell on her in an instant.
The sharp gaze seemed to pierce through her.
Zheng Yingfei was so frightened that her legs went weak and cold sweat broke out on her beautiful face.
Did she say something wrong?
Gu Zhenting asked quietly, "Have you been letting Mingfeng learn business management?"
Her expression was tense, her throat dry, and she nodded.
"Okay, from today on, Mingfeng is the president of Gu Group!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was boiling.
Gu Rong was the first to get impatient: "Grandpa, my son is not even eight years old yet, you can't do that!"
He doesn't want to put his son in a high position. Would he still have a childhood then?
The uncles and aunts also followed suit to give advice.
"Grandpa, you can't act on impulse. Mingfeng is still so young, how can he take on such an important responsibility!"
"How can such a huge Gu Group be managed by a kid?"
"Mr. Gu, the child is still inexperienced. How can he win the support of others in the group?"
"If I really make a mistake, I'll be laughed at by the outside world."
…
Gu Zhenting stomped his crutch hard, making a bang, which immediately stopped the noise from the people below.
He snorted coldly, "What? You don't dare to recommend yourselves. Is there something wrong with the person I chose? Is Gu Zheng the only one capable? Becoming a president at the age of eight is nothing I can't see! Back in the feudal era, there were even emperors at the age of eight! Is being a president harder than being an emperor?"
Gu Rong, who was standing by, was almost crying as he hugged his son: "This is probably much harder than being an emperor..."
Zheng Yingfei pinched him hard in private: "The old man wants to train Mingfeng. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Stop looking so sad!"
After she finished speaking, she stood up with a smile on her face and bowed slightly to Gu Zhenting: "Thank you, old man, for giving our Mingfeng the opportunity to study. He will definitely not let you down and will definitely work hard. Although he is young, he is very interested in business management."
Gu Mingfeng: "Mom...I want to go racing."
Everyone: “…”
