Chapter 700: Chapter 700
Zhang Sanfeng smiled without a word.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhan Dapeng suddenly felt that his smile was somewhat eerie, and with narrowed eyes, he said, "Lately, have you been influenced by my second brother too much? I feel like there’s been an increase in ’pink’ around here."
Previously, no one had anticipated that Zhao Mengjin would have a chance encounter with Tang Sili. Even less expected was the sudden reunion of Zhang Sanfeng and Zhong Qiaohui after so many years.
Of course, Zhang Sanfeng wouldn’t say a word about his own matters, yet with a hint of caution, he advised Zhan Dapeng, "I suggest you refrain from bringing up Professor Tang too often."
"He’s a weirdo; I know that. I’ve always reminded my second brother of this." Zhan Dapeng didn’t seem to disagree with his statement, "But, my second brother doesn’t seem to be very guarded against him."
"If my second brother truly had no guard up at all, he wouldn’t have warned him to stay away from Mengjin."
Zhang Sanfeng’s words seemed to bring about an epiphany for Zhan Dapeng all at once.
Zhao Mengjin, who was standing at the doorway and happened to overhear their conversation, was startled. Her fingers slowly retracted from the doorknob, and then, she quietly walked away.
If anyone had seen her silhouette at that moment, they would certainly think that this young Miss of the Zhao family had become increasingly strange since her mother’s departure, becoming more reticent.
The Zhao family elders, the leaders, were closeted with Xiao Yebai in the Zhao patriarch’s study, seemingly for over two hours now.
All those unaware outsiders waiting for news couldn’t help but feel that something was afoot.
One would think if it was about discussing whether Gu Nuan was suitable for the role of CEO of Zhao Corporation or not, the Zhao family members would already have their own opinions, and it would all come down to whether Xiao Yebai gave his nod or not. For more chapters visıt 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
Such a simple YES or NO question, yet it had been under discussion for quite a while, almost making one believe that some significant event was taking place inside that room.
Qiaohui couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous herself, touching her chest over her heart.
Gu Nuan, however, appeared as if she was uninvolved.
Qiaohui tugged at Gu Nuan’s sleeve and quietly asked, "What do you think?"
"Definitely, impossible," Gu Nuan said.
Three words, much to the surprise of most people. Qiaohui was instantly at a loss for words, calling out, "Hey, the role of CEO comes with very high wages, and great prestige. For us at the bottom, it might take countless years to climb to such a position, and you dismiss it with just three simple words?"
"Taking on such responsibility amid a crisis is not worth it," Gu Nuan replied.
Qiaohui’s mouth puckered slightly, "You really are, the most cold-hearted and callous person I’ve ever met—"
"I can help out with tasks, but carrying the burden of responsibility is something I won’t do."
"But, in my opinion, your ability is completely OK; you could even say, you’ve already helped them achieve half their goal. I truly can’t imagine what disadvantageous aspect could make you turn down such a seemingly easy-to-grab offer." Qiaohui was genuinely serious as she got worked up in discussion with Gu Nuan.
Gu Nuan’s lips curved in response, reminding the other, "You said achieving half the goal? Have you forgotten who we encountered last night?"
The Yang family mother and daughter?
Right, if they don’t create trouble, then indeed, it would all have been in vain. They are definitely discontent and will not rest until satisfied.
"Who told them, who allowed them to come here? Their presence here, opposing you, I really cannot see any benefit for the person who suggested inviting them—" Qiaohui pondered back and forth, though, like Gu Nuan, she had already considered the possibility that their appearance might relate to Xiao Jianming’s words.
Gu Nuan had to admit, her father-in-law was a man of profound scheming and shrouded in darkness.
