Chapter 232: Chapter 210: I Want It All
Sitting with the people from Yunzhong Building is one thing.
But becoming the president of Yunzhong Building is another matter altogether.
After all, when sitting with Wen Mingcheng, she could easily dissociate herself from the Ghost Street affairs by arguing a bit.
It’s unrelated to her.
But if she were the president of Yunzhong Building, how could she dissociate herself?
Everything about Yunzhong Building, whether she did it or not, she would have to take the corresponding responsibility.
Especially in this kind of situation, when she claims it’s not related to her.
It’s hard to believe, right?
Moreover, Gu Yanjing started dealing with Ghost Street because Feng Chuanbai’s people made a move on her.
After several months of time, effort, and money spent.
Just when Ghost Street was about to be acquired.
She jumps in and wants to take half.
This whole situation makes it seem like she wants Ghost Street and seduces her opponent to fight for it, then swoops in to snatch it when it’s nearly won.
Either way, she’s in a no-win situation.
Would Gu Yanjing think she’s a scheming woman?
Would he think she approached him just to revitalize Yunzhong Building?
Would he think she’s some kind of corporate spy?
"What are you looking at?" Qiao Yuxian stubbornly refused to admit, "Never seen someone this beautiful before?"
Wen Mingcheng: "......"
"Still looking!" Qiao Yuxian’s voice grew colder.
Wen Mingcheng took a light breath, smiled warmly at her, then turned to Gu Yanjing and said, "Let me introduce to everyone, our Yunzhong Building president, Qiao Yuxian."
Qiao Yuxian abruptly stood up, trying to cover his mouth, but it was too late.
Upon hearing him, her heart skipped a beat.
Her mind was filled with "It’s over, it’s over."
Tomorrow morning, it’s off to the civil affairs bureau.
Fortunately, fortunately.
The marriage certificate is nowhere to be found.
Ah!!!
Won’t they just first get two new marriage certificates tomorrow and then trade them for divorce certificates?
Qiao Yuxian wanted to find a corner to cry for a while.
She stood watching Wen Mingcheng, her mind racing with thoughts.
While the three people opposite her were watching her without moving.
Gu Yanjing seemed alright, as though his suspicions were confirmed, remaining very calm.
But Chu Zhengran and Lin Huai Shu were not as composed.
Chu Zhengran’s gentle face was a bit cracked, and Lin Huai Shu was just frozen in place.
Sitting there, Qiao Yuxian was something they vaguely sensed, but "vaguely" sensing it and having it confirmed by someone else’s introduction were completely different feelings.
Personally introduced by Yunzhong Building’s Wen Mingcheng.
The Yunzhong Building that stands equal to the Gu Group.
The person so mysterious not even a shadow could be captured.
Is a young girl in her twenties.
And she’s someone who’s been by their side all along.
And! She’s married to Gu Yanjing!
Then wouldn’t the Gu Group and Yunzhong Building be in an alliance?
The two giants of the Capital City joining forces.
If this gets out, the whole Capital City would explode!
It would explode into a colorful mess, lasting three days and nights.
What were they doing here today!
With this big scene! Were they here to propose?
Chu Zhengran looked at Gu Yanjing.
Thinking: What kind of luck does this guy have.
How did he marry a wife with such a mysterious identity? He thought he just married an ordinary girl, happily living their days, now...
Chu Zhengran was starting to worry for Gu Yanjing.
If in the future there’s a quarrel between them, would Qiao Yuxian’s family chop Gu Yanjing up?
Compared to Chu Zhengran’s head full of amazed thoughts, Lin Huai Shu’s mind just crashed, completely blank, not even a speck of thought.
Standing by the door were Shang Chen and Su Qi.
Shang Chen was expressionless, staring at Qiao Yuxian, as if he had become a real wooden post, with no reaction at all.
Su Qi, on the other hand, gaped in surprise, almost like a Terracotta Warrior if you painted him a different color.
At this moment, Qiao Yuxian’s mental play had gone to the custody of Dou Jin.
Then she heard Gu Yanjing say calmly: "So it’s Mr. Qiao."
Qiao Yuxian’s heart skipped a beat, and upon returning to her senses, she met Gu Yanjing’s eyes.
In that moment of eye contact, she felt her hair stand on end.
She looked at him.
Gu Yanjing gazed at her with a look cooler than usual.
She had no obvious expression on her face, not even the usual gentle and charming demeanor.
Those pretty fox eyes were calm and serene, seemingly impossible to read.
But Gu Yanjing seemed to have directly understood her heart, seeing through her exterior, glimpsing her crowded inner drama.
"What’s Mr. Qiao’s opinion about Ghost Street?" Gu Yanjing asked again.
Chu Zhengran: "......"
Clearly, his tone talking to Qiao Yuxian was the same as when he spoke with Wen Mingcheng.
But why did it seem like they were flirting!
Wasn’t he supposed to be risking his life to conquer the world?
Why watch people fall in love here!
Lin Huai Shu sensed something amiss and finally moved, turning his head toward Gu Yanjing.
Wen Mingcheng also watched them.
After revealing Qiao Yuxian’s identity, he sat on the side as if nothing had happened, as if watching a spectacle.
"I..." Qiao Yuxian made a sound, paused, and then said, "The matters of Yunzhong Building are handled by him, let him discuss it with you."
Qiao Yuxian passed this hot potato back to Wen Mingcheng.
Wen Mingcheng, having just relaxed with a sip of wine, was suddenly choked.
Qiao Yuxian sat down after saying that, acting like nothing concerned her, and she wouldn’t deal with any issues.
Gu Yanjing only looked at her and said, "I’ll only discuss with you."
Qiao Yuxian looked at him: "......"
The two of them came specifically to mess with her tonight, right?
"I won’t discuss," Qiao Yuxian declared.
"Does Mr. Qiao want to fight then?" Gu Yanjing asked.
Hearing this, Qiao Yuxian frowned, her heart sinking a bit.
Gu Yanjing’s expression remained calm and composed, sitting there radiating a chill.
Qiao Yuxian watched his nonchalant demeanor, as if even if he really clashed with Yunzhong Building, it wouldn’t matter.
The Yunzhong Building doesn’t matter, she didn’t matter either.
After a while, she raised her hand to tuck her bangs behind her ear.
So he’s forcing her.
She slightly smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes: "Are you sure, Mr. Gu, you want to discuss with me?"
Gu Yanjing stayed silent, implicitly agreeing.
"Fine. I’ll discuss," Qiao Yuxian said, looking at him, with a somewhat reckless, defiant lightness, "Mr. Gu, I don’t want half of Ghost Street’s management rights, I want all of it."
Lin Huai Shu’s eyes suddenly widened.
Chu Zhengran slightly raised his eyebrows.
Wen Mingcheng’s hand trembled, and the drink in his glass shook.
Thinking: This girl. She’s more ruthless than I am. Isn’t she afraid that Gu Yanjing might flip the table?
Wanting full management rights, won’t it threaten your relationship?
If I had known, I would have brought more people tonight.
I only brought enough for negotiating half of the management rights.
If it’s all of it...
Human potential can be endlessly tapped.
If wanting all causes the Gu Family’s people to gain strength, the ones I brought aren’t enough.
Tsk, should have done some stretching, exercised wrist and ankle, to prepare.
Misjudged.
