Chapter 16 Chapter 16 A few words can ruin a person's reputation...
Gu Chenxi subconsciously wanted to wipe the sweat off his face, but immediately suppressed the urge.
There was no sweat on his forehead at all. Ye Jin was trying to trick him.
"Oh, I read it wrong, sorry, boss."
Not seeing the reaction he wanted, Ye Jin felt it was a pity and naturally changed the subject, starting to chat with Mr. Guo about something else.
…
Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
-
The wine tasting and dinner were not held in the same hall.
When Ye Jin and the others arrived, quite a few people were already seated in the banquet hall.
Guan Yan and an older middle-aged man were greeting guests at the door.
But this man was not Gu Hui, but Gu Chenxi’s uncle Gu Hong.
"Chen Xi is here, hello Assistant Ye." Gu Hong greeted him warmly, "There are many people inside, I will take you to find a seat."
Then they were very considerately led to the seats with their names printed on them.
There was no one around at this time.
So Gu Hong whispered to Gu Chenxi: "Chenxi, don't hate your mother, she is doing this for your own good."
He then gave Gu Chenxi several heartfelt exhortations, the main idea of which was that he hoped the mother and son could put aside their prejudices against each other and reconcile.
After listening to this, Gu Chenxi just nodded slightly with an indifferent reaction.
Gu Hong seemed to have gotten used to it a long time ago. He patted Gu Chenxi's shoulder kindly before leaving.
Ye Jin had already learned from the system in advance that Guan Yan was going to seize power from Gu Chenxi tonight.
Gu Hong's words at this time were clearly an attempt to sow discord between them, mother and son.
But if there is no such premise, anyone who sees it would praise Gu Hong as a good uncle who cares about his younger generations.
There is really no good person in this family.
-
After a busy night, Ye Jin was already hungry. The dinner was served separately, and dishes were served to the table in batches. Ye Jin tasted them one by one, waiting for the development of the plot quite calmly.
After a while, Guan Yan and Gu Hong walked onto the stage together.
Since Ye Jin came here, she has never seen Gu Chenxi's father Gu Hui.
I thought I could see him tonight, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't show up even on this occasion.
He is indeed the 'disappearing dad'.
What happened next was just as the system had explained. After some polite words, Guan Yan finally got to the point.
"Today, in front of all of you, I shamelessly asked my son for a birthday present."
Guan Yan has a soft voice and acts like a kind mother, so much so that when Ye Jin saw her for the first time, she couldn't help but feel a liking for her.
But now, every word she uttered was as sharp as a sword.
Guan Yan said gently: "I hope Chen Xi can give half of your position to your brother, and let Qingyang help you run the company."
Ye Jin looked at Gu Chenxi.
She knew Guan Yan would make such a request, but she really didn't expect that Guan Yan would ask it in this way.
She actually wanted Gu Chenxi to take this as a birthday present.
And he mentioned it in front of so many people.
The jewel necklace that Gu Chenxi spent 30 million to buy is still hanging on Guan Yan's neck.
Gu Chenxi's hand holding the wine glass turned pale and his face became extremely ugly.
The whole audience was silent.
Most people's eyes were on Gu Chenxi and Guan Yan.
Guan Yan's move was really too cruel. After all, Gu Chenxi was the child she had raised for more than ten years, yet she actually helped her eldest son seize power in public.
And everyone knows that Gu Chenxi is not talkative.
All of Gu Chenxi's escape routes were completely blocked.
At this moment, Ye Jin suddenly hoped that Gu Chenxi would say something.
Whether it's a rebuttal or a question, as long as you say it out loud, it won't be as uncomfortable as it is now.
But Gu Chenxi just lowered his eyelids and looked a little tired.
"Then I'll take it as your agreement, Chen Xi." A look of joy appeared on Guan Yan's face, and he quickly called Gu Qingyang to the stage and asked him to recognize his face.
Gu Qingyang got what he wanted so easily, and he snatched it from Gu Chenxi in public.
But for some reason, he was not happy.
"What's wrong, Qingyang?" Guan Yan stroked his face with concern and said, "Just ask for anything else you want. Mom will do her best to help you achieve it."
Gu Qingyang said stiffly: "It's fine, no need."
He was keenly aware of Ye Jin's gaze in the audience, and his heart tightened, thinking that she would blame him with her eyes.
But when he looked carefully, he found that Ye Jin looked at him with calm and gentle eyes.
Gu Qingyang's clenched fist not only did not relax, but he clenched it even tighter.
-
Gu Chenxi's situation took a turn for the worse since Guan Yan asked for her birthday present.
And it's gotten worse and worse.
Before the dinner was over, rumors spread that Gu Chenxi was suffering from aphasia and unable to work normally.
Basically everyone is talking about this.
"Boss, I believe you." Ye Jin said to Gu Chenxi firmly, "You just simply don't like to talk."
There was no time to impress people.
Ye Jin added: "I will be your mouthpiece. From now on, if you can't say anything, I will say it for you."
Gu Chenxi: ...
That's not necessary.
Her mouth can no longer be simply described as eloquent.
It's the extent that just a few words can ruin a person's reputation.
He doesn't want to be disgraced yet.
Ye Jin noticed Gu Chenxi's refusal and continued, "Boss, please don't refuse."
Ye Jin started to reason with him from the beginning: "You and Special Assistant Yan are always worried that I will quit my job, right? Don't worry now. I will show you my loyalty and determination to follow you."
Gu Chenxi: ...
It's revenge indeed.
But she probably hasn't realized that Yan Rong and he are the same person.
Ye Jin unilaterally decided: "Let's do it this way."
"Boss, you take a rest here. I'll be back soon."
Gu Chenxi looked at Ye Jin's back, speechless for a moment. It seemed that he was bound to be ruined today.
