Gu Mingche, who couldn't figure it out, finally decided to go to the door and apologize with gifts. He thought that instead of people guessing here and there, it would be better to go and ask directly what happened.
Gu Mingche believed that as long as a sincere apology was made to clear up the misunderstanding, the Huo family would naturally let their company go.
So that afternoon, Gu Mingche went to Huo's company carrying the gifts he had bought from the mall.
After arriving at the place and introducing himself, the receptionist took him to the meeting room. The moment he sat in the meeting room, Gu Mingche felt a little relieved. The fact that he had not been rejected meant that there was still a glimmer of hope.
Xue Chen had already received the news when Gu Mingche appeared at the front desk. He thought that this fool had offended Huo Beiting at some point and was still hoping that an apology would forgive him. It would be better for him to go home and dream.
Xue Chen still had a lot of official business to deal with, so he sent his assistant to meet Gu Mingche directly.
No one has ever seen the true face of the president of Huo's company, so when Gu Mingche saw a man in a suit and tie walking in from the door, he took a quick glance at the brands and prices of the clothes he was wearing. They were all high-end custom-made, so he couldn't tell what brand they were, but he could tell from the fabric that they were expensive.
So Gu Mingche took it for granted that this was the CEO of Huo's company that no one had ever seen.
Gu Mingche stood up attentively, and without waiting for the assistant to come up to him, he walked over, shook his hands tightly, and introduced himself.
"Hello, I'm Gu Mingche, the president of Gu's Enterprise. Seeing is believing. I never expected that the president of Huo's Enterprise, who is rumored to be at least 40 years old, would actually be so young."
The assistant smiled faintly and nodded, then unconsciously pulled his hand back. He sat on the sofa with his legs slightly apart, and his aura unconsciously emanated from him.
"Excuse me, what are you doing here, Mr. Gu?"
The assistant did not directly reveal his identity, so Gu Mingche continued to misunderstand him.
"Well...recent rumors have it that your company and mine are at odds, and even intend to take us over. After all, our two companies have been in this city for so long. While we haven't collaborated much, we're all friends. How could you possibly want to take us over, as some people are saying?"
Gu Mingche came up and tried to get closer to the man directly, intending to slowly get closer and then tell him his purpose bit by bit, but he never expected that the president of "Huo's" would be so unkind.
"This isn't a rumor. Don't you know whether you've offended us before? If this is simply a case of stealing our business, we wouldn't want to go to such great lengths to target anyone."
As he spoke, the assistant paused, leaned forward slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Gu Mingche's increasingly nervous expression, and almost couldn't help laughing.
He coughed lightly, picked up some water from the table to moisten his throat, and then continued.
"But Mr. Gu is quite courageous. He has provoked someone I dare not touch. That person is now furious. There is no other solution except to annex him. Mr. Gu, this is all I have to say. Go back and think about it carefully."
As he spoke, the assistant stood up and patted Gu Mingche's shoulder gently. Before he could react, he had already strode out of the meeting room.
Gu Mingche came out in a daze. He felt very disappointed after hearing what the president of "Huo Group" said. He felt that the road ahead was bleak and dark.
Gu Mingche looked at the president's office not far away, where the door was slightly open.
Gu Mingche bit his lower lip tightly and walked towards the president's office with the gift in his hand, thinking that this trip couldn't be in vain. He at least had to know who he had offended. He couldn't be punished in vain without knowing what he had done wrong.
After thinking it through, Gu Mingche took a deep breath and strode towards there. Just as he reached the door, he heard faint sounds of conversation from inside.
"...Boss, I've already told Gu Mingche everything you told me to do, so what should we do next?"
Gu Mingche frowned slightly outside the door. The voice sounded familiar, and his heart skipped a beat.
He couldn't help swallowing, wiped the unnecessary sweat from his forehead, and leaned slightly closer to listen attentively to the movements inside.
"Of course we're going to increase our efforts and acquire it as soon as possible! Oh, this is so frustrating! How can there be such stupid people in this world? They offended the wrong people without realizing it, and they can't even recognize the person they apologized to. They're so hopelessly stupid!"
Xue Chen sighed, his tone full of gloating.
Gu Mingche hid outside the door, his body trembling constantly.
Because the office door was only a crack apart, he couldn't see what the person inside looked like, but just by listening to the conversation between the two people, he knew that the person who spoke last was the president of Huo's Enterprise, and the person he had just met was probably just one of his assistants.
Gu Mingche was so angry that his entire body was shaking. He thought, even though his Gu Enterprise wasn't the city's top company, it was still in the top five. So what if the Huo Company was the biggest? How could they bully him like this? They simply didn't take him seriously.
Gu Mingche finally figured out why the assistant had a faint smile on his face since he entered the room. He originally thought that the smile was just a courtesy or something else, but now he finally understood that it was a sarcastic smile, mocking him for being stupid. Since he couldn't even tell the difference between an assistant and a president, he still wanted to come over and apologize.
Gu Mingche was so angry that he was about to push open the door to argue with the president of Huo's company. At this moment, a secretary suddenly came over and shouted in surprise when he saw Gu Mingche.
"Who are you? Why are you here? Don't you know that outsiders are not allowed to approach here? Get out of here immediately."
The secretary's shout woke up the two people in the office.
The assistant came out to check what was going on, not knowing what was going on. He saw that it was Gu Mingche who had been eavesdropping outside the door. The assistant's smile grew even brighter, and he extended his hand as if to invite him in.
"Mr. Gu, we have already finished what we need to talk about. Why haven't you left yet?"
The secretary beside him suddenly realized who Gu Mingche was, and his eyes were full of mockery when he looked at him.
Gu Mingche looked at the assistant angrily, and in a fit of rage he was about to push open the door of the president's office to talk to the president.
But he was stopped by several people at the door.
"Mr. Gu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this. Our president doesn't want to see you, and I've already made it clear to you what I need to say. There's no need to meet again."
The assistant smiled and snapped his fingers, and soon two or three security guards rushed over.
Gu Mingche looked at the situation in front of him and was so angry that he wanted to resist, but because he was outnumbered, he had to leave in disgrace.
