As soon as she spoke, Gu Weiguo's expression changed obviously.
It's not that he didn't know Xu Yunfeng's fiancée, but he didn't expect that this woman would show up in person.
You know, although the spouses of officials' children can engage in business, they still have to avoid suspicion as much as possible.
Her jumping out like this will directly affect the city lord's reputation.
But then again, even if there is an impact, what can it do?
Who can Gu Weiguo really go to complain to?
Gu Weiguo knew that if he confronted this woman head-on, he would definitely not end up well. Even if he called the police, they would be in a very difficult position.
Who dares to touch the city lord's niece?
His expression was solemn, and he could only persuade her with reason: "Ms. Zhou, your fiancé wants to start a business, and I welcome it. Without competition, there is no progress. However, I only welcome fair competition in the business world. You brought Xu Yunfeng to my door and directly threatened me to make conditions. Isn't that a bit of bullying!"
"The city lord is your uncle, and I dare not offend you, but I, Gu Weiguo, have been in business for so many years, and I am not a soft-skinned person. I will not give up all my years of hard work just because of a few words from you. I hope Miss Zhou will think twice."
He had already said it very tactfully, but unfortunately, neither Xu Yunfeng nor Zhou Mi could understand what he was saying.
Especially Zhou Mi, she loved Xu Yunfeng deeply and couldn't wait to show her strength in front of him, so as to prevent him from falling in love with another woman.
At such a critical moment, I want to stand out even more.
"Speak clearly, who threatened you? My fiancé just said that we're here to negotiate with you. Our terms aren't excessive, either. We just want you to give up half of the market."
What?
Half the market?
As soon as this condition was put forward, not only Gu Weiguo, but everyone else's expressions changed.
Suzhou's economic market has always been open and free, which is why it is so prosperous. Even bigwigs from Beijing are willing to invest and develop it.
There has never been a case of forced intervention by the government before.
Is Zhou Mi crazy?
Asking for half of the market right away is like touching someone's lifeblood. It's really too much!
Zhou Mi was completely unaware that she had already provoked public outrage. She crossed her arms and snorted complacently, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, but I'm warning you, if you don't agree, then even if you open your business today, I can force you to close down and rectify tomorrow. It's up to you to decide!"
After these words were spoken, Zhou Weiguo and others looked extremely ugly.
Isn't this a naked threat?
Using the identity of the city lord's niece to threaten a businessman who has no official background is indeed an easy task to bully.
After all, with her network of contacts, everything can be done with just one phone call.
And this one phone call from her could directly cause the Gu Group to suffer heavy losses!
Seeing her going so far, Yun Ruxue couldn't help but stand up and say, "Ms. Zhou, even if you're the daughter of an official, you should still abide by the law, right? You're saying this in front of so many media outlets. Aren't you afraid of being cursed by the whole world?"
"By then, everyone will know that the Su City Lord's niece is using her status to bully others. Wouldn't that be bad for the Lord's reputation? I just don't believe that such an upright and honest official like the Lord would condone such behavior."
She deliberately flattered the city lord in order to use public opinion to pressure him.
At present, this is the only way to fight against Zhou Mi.
Who would have thought that Zhou Mi was not afraid at all after hearing this, but laughed disdainfully, then turned around and looked at the media and reporters who were filming.
"You can shoot and record as much as you want, but after you go back, whoever dares to post today's video, whoever dares to report today's events, I don't mind making you bankrupt or unemployed!"
She raised her eyebrows and glared at the people who were secretly recording videos with their mobile phones.
"If you're not afraid of losing your job, or your children not being able to go to school, go ahead and film and post as much as you want. I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
"I might as well tell you the truth. Even if you really use public opinion to pressure my uncle to punish me, it's just three glasses of wine as punishment. I'll rest at home for a few months. Once the storm has passed and everyone has forgotten about it, I can do what I need to do. As for you, haha! You'll never be able to turn things around in this life."
After hearing her words, everyone around her, including the media reporters, was extremely angry.
But it didn't work.
What’s the use of being angry?
What they said was all true.
Anyone who dares to confront the government is seeking death.
How many people hold up their ID cards every day and expose this and that online? Is it useful?
Xu Yunfeng admired the expressions of everyone who dared to be angry but not to speak out, and he was really very proud.
Marrying this ugly woman was truly the best decision he had ever made.
"Well, Gu Weiguo, I'll give you one last chance. Give up half of your market share and I'll leave immediately. You can open your business and run your business as usual. There's nothing else to worry about. If you don't accept my offer, you'll have to pay me back. Even if you can't run your company in the future, don't regret it."
Gu Weiguo's silver teeth were about to break.
If you don’t give it, you will definitely have troubles in the future.
It would be fine if it was just trouble, but he was afraid that Zhou Mi would be ruthless, checking every three days and banning his business every five days, making it impossible for him to operate normally.
If that's the case, it would be better to give them the market share, so that at least half of the family business can be kept.
But he really didn't want to give up.
Everyone around, including Yun Ruxue, Lin Yurou, Liu Xiangxiang and other guests, looked at each other, secretly anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
If they try to help Gu Weiguo at this time, not only will it fail to solve the problem, but if they anger Zhou Mi and Xu Yunfeng, the trouble they will bring to the Gu family will be catastrophic.
So no one dared to speak carelessly.
Media reporters could only sigh.
"The Gu family has hit a wall this time."
"There's nothing we can do. They have no backing, yet they've grown so rapidly and are so high up in the world. There's bound to be people who are jealous."
"Yes, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, it's unrealistic to want to eat such a big piece of cake alone, unless you have a Celestial Dragon background."
Alas, even if they sympathized with Gu Weiguo, they could only watch him admit defeat.
The scene suddenly froze.
Gu Weiguo clenched his fists, and Zhang Xiulan was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
These people are really bullying, and they bully people openly. How can they do this? How can they do this?
"Hurry up! Don't dawdle. I still have a lot of things to do."
Zhou Mi glanced at her watch impatiently and hurriedly folded her arms.
"I'll give you one last minute to think it over. If you still don't give me an answer after one minute, I'll consider it as you being ungrateful! Now, the countdown begins, one minute!"
