No matter how much they argued and fought, they still shared the same father; to put it bluntly, it was an internal power struggle. But there were other uncles, cousins, and the like...
Gong Chengkun wasn't stupid; he had no intention of letting others reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
"Who moved it? Uncle or Third Uncle?" The third son of the Gong family, who is also their second uncle, Gong Changhong, is a soldier, so he wouldn't be in the Gong family's mud pile.
The idea that two brothers can fight each other however they want, but must unite against outsiders, is best exemplified in this situation.
Gong Chengkun had forgotten his earlier anger and looked at Gong Chengjue, "What did they do?"
Gong Chengjue didn't want to pay attention to him, but now he could confirm that it wasn't Gong Chengkun who did it.
"Get out." He had no interest in dealing with Gong Chengkun.
Gong Chengkun: "..."
Fortunately, Luo Jinhan called back and found out where Su Ziqing had gone.
Upon hearing Luo Jinhan say that Su Ziqing had gone abroad, and that she had gone abroad with Luo Ziqi, Gong Chengjue's expression stiffened for a moment.
"knew."
You went abroad? How could this be so sudden? You didn't even tell him...
He hung up the phone, but Gong Chengkun kept staring at him.
Gong Chengjue sometimes wondered if things would have been different if he and Gong Chengkun hadn't been half-siblings...
"Found it?" Gong Chengkun asked.
Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement. "I'm on a business trip."
Gong Chengkun curled his lips, "I knew it, who would bother with a woman..." Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by a cold look from Gong Chengjue.
Then he smoothly steered the conversation back to them, as effortlessly as switching TV channels.
"What exactly is wrong with the proposals at the board meeting?" Now that he's on the board, he's bound to produce some results.
Gong Chengjue has only been a member for a short time, so the fact that the two of them entered the board of directors one after the other, and whoever achieves results first, will naturally have different impacts.
“Baolong Group has suffered losses for two consecutive years. Injecting capital at this time would be too risky.” Let alone making a profit.
“But Baolong Group is an established brand in its field. If we want to enter a new industry, investing in an established brand is much more cost-effective than creating a new brand.”
“That’s true under normal circumstances,” Gong Chengjue replied calmly.
Gong Chengkun frowned.
Normally...
Indeed, the current situation for the Gong family is not normal.
Everyone needs to use their unique skills to increase their success rate in front of the old man. At this point, if an investment results in a loss, it won't just be a matter of falling far behind.
What Gong Chengjue wanted to tell Gong Chengkun was that the Gong family wasn't just the two of them.
The rest of the Gong family were happy to see the two of them tearing each other apart.
That way, we can directly eliminate the eldest son's family.
Gong Chengkun arrived in anger but left with a smile, putting on a show that no one understood.
……………………
Su Ziqing and Luo Ziqi flew directly abroad. When they arrived and turned on their phones, they found a lot of WeChat notifications.
Uh, only now did she realize, oh right, she hadn't even told Gong Chengjue she was going abroad...
He quickly replied to Gong Chengjue's WeChat message, "I'm going abroad with friends for a few days, um, something came up." No, it's purely for fun.
The phone rang as soon as I sent the WeChat message.
Su Ziqing looked at the caller ID and had no choice but to answer, her voice soft as she said, "Chengjue~"
Hearing her gentle voice, Gong Chengjue's anger vanished. "Next time you go somewhere, tell me before you turn off your phone."
Does she know how worried he will be?
"I'm sorry, I forgot."
Gong Chengjue, “…” How could she be so clueless?!
Luo Ziqi, who was standing to the side, was fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). She looked at her phone and, well, there was nothing there.
Why did you suddenly go abroad?
"Something's up," Su Ziqing lied through her teeth, refusing to say what it was about.
Gong Chengjue didn't ask any more questions, only inquiring about her destination. To his surprise, Su Ziqing herself said she wasn't sure, estimating she was going to two or three countries…
Gong Chengjue: "..."
It seemed as if the cat had even taken his tongue, leaving him completely at a loss for words.
Su Ziqing didn't care about his mood at the moment, and after saying a few words, she was about to hang up. By the time Gong Chengjue thought about what to say, the call was already over.
Looking at the phone that was beeping, Gong Chengjue frowned involuntarily, feeling a kind of inexplicable frustration.
When the secretary came in to report the itinerary, Gong Chengjue didn't say anything, completely lost in thought.
Has Su Ziqing really let herself go like this? She just left without a word?
No, he's with Luo Ziqi...
Gong Chengjue immediately told his secretary to shut up, "Get out."
The secretary, who was giving the report, paused for a moment, then immediately turned and walked out. Heaven knows why the icy CEO suddenly called her out.
Before the secretary could even close the door, Gong Chengjue called Sheng Yuanshuo, "Can't you keep your woman in check?"
He caused trouble and didn't deal with it, then ran away from home and took his Ziqing with him!
That's right, Gong Chengjue believes that Su Ziqing's sudden departure was because Luo Ziqi had lured her away. (If he knew that he was the one who facilitated the successful endorsement deal, which is why Su Ziqing hasn't had much to do lately, he'd probably be heartbroken.)
Sheng Yuanshuo was completely baffled that day. "What? What did my Ziqi do to you again?"
"She didn't do anything to me, but she kidnapped Ziqing and took her abroad!!" She didn't even say hello to him.
"Going abroad?" Sheng Yuanshuo looked bewildered. "When did that happen?"
"Sheng Yuanshuo, you're your own woman, don't you know where she is?!" Gong Chengjue said irritably. "Where is she going? Why don't you go with her? Why drag my Ziqing into it?"
Sheng Yuanshuo: "I'll call and ask."
Sheng Yuanshuo hung up the phone and called Luo Ziqi, but... her phone was off!
Unaware of what had happened, Sheng Yuanshuo immediately sensed something was wrong and called Gong Chengjue back, "Su Ziqing, no, did your Ziqing say anything to you?"
Gong Chengjue scoffed, "What she tells me is none of your business."
"Ziqi's phone is off." Sheng Yuanshuo's tone was somewhat serious.
Hearing this, Gong Chengjue felt a little better. Well, at least his phone wasn't turned off.
“Chengjue, Ziqi and I had another little disagreement last night…” Sheng Yuanshuo said with a troubled expression.
Gong Chengjue was speechless. So, just because their relationship isn't going well, does that mean other people can't show off their love either?
"Could you give me Ziqing's phone number? I'd like to call her and ask her."
"No way," Gong Chengjue refused outright.
"Why?"
"I don't like any men other than me having contact with her." Jealousy is just that blatant.
Sheng Yuanshuo remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone. "Then can you ask Qing for me what happened to Ziqi?"
"Not interested."
Sheng Yuanshuo is about to lose his temper; are they still good friends?
"Why?!"
"For no reason," Gong Chengjue's reason was even more infuriating, "I'm just annoyed."
"Heh, alright. Based on my understanding of them, if Ziqi doesn't come back, your Ziqing will probably stay with her too," Sheng Yuanshuo kindly reminded her.
