Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248: Husband and Wife Team Up to Set a Trap (5) The red-haired Dabai shouted, "What are you looking at? Is President Ou such a petty person? Can’t even open a bottle of red wine like this and do business? Who is President Ou? He is the president of the Ou Group, a bottle of wine worth millions is nothing compared to the company’s assets."
Perhaps Dabai wasn’t wrong, the overall valuation of the publicly listed Ou Group is indeed high, and a million-dollar wine is not much compared to the company’s market value.
However, for someone like Ou Shihua, who can drink expensive wines belonging to others but would never spend a single cent on himself, it’s like cutting his flesh. This is also fundamentally why Chairman Zhan fell for Rogers’ scheme but he never would.
Ou Shihua’s face turned as black as a crow, his eyes looking dimly at the immobile Gu Nuan.
He thought, Gu Nuan is either pretending to be thrifty while actually using the company’s money to support this spendthrift Xiaobai, which is truly shocking. Or, Gu Nuan is deliberately letting such a man ruin his evening. Either way, it undoubtedly makes Ou Shihua very displeased, almost to the point where his lungs felt like they would explode like a bomb.
Because Ou Shihua is stingy but loves saving face.
Is Gu Nuan trying to go against him?
Gu Nuan had already considered this. The saying goes, there is no free lunch. Why did Ou Shihua invite her to dinner for no reason, and even ask her to bring someone? Isn’t this a hidden trap with a smiling face?
Dabai’s antics had Gu Nuan’s silent approval.
Ou Shihua twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems, Chairman Gu usually caters to her people’s tastes like this, indeed a bit beyond expectations. The person Chairman Gu supports has quite the appetite."
Gu Nuan lightly opened her lips, "Chairman, you’re mistaken. I only pay employees their salary from the company. As for generosity, no one can match President Ou’s grand gestures. Employees pay for their own meals with their own salaries."
Their Dabai loves spending money, but he spends his own money, not a penny from Gu Finance. Gu Finance is just thinking what right he has to stop his husband from spending his own earnings. Besides, Dabai’s wallet is so full that there’s nowhere to spend the money. Dabai is right, if money isn’t circulated, it will only decrease the market’s liquidity, prompting the central bank to print more money, ultimately leading to more and more cash and causing inflation, which most adversely impacts ordinary folks who need that little bit of money to meet basic living requirements.
So, if you have money, you must spend it.
Someone like Ou Shihua, how much money he’s made, is kept tightly in his own wallet. As for those finance theories, Ou Shihua himself was hired to be a finance professor at a university, wouldn’t he know?
Simply put, Ou Shihua is the basic embodiment of human nature, how selfish he can be. You can tell by how he treats the wife he’s been married to for decades.
Being hit by Gu Nuan’s words like this, Ou Shihua naturally did not expect Gu Nuan to have given him such a cold result. Now he’s truly caught in a difficult situation, if he doesn’t pay, people will talk, saying he, the president of the mighty Ou Group, can’t even afford a bottle of red wine. In business, sometimes appearances matter, especially for men. If people find out you’re so stingy in daily life, they’ll associate it with being petty in business dealings, making those who intend to cooperate with you shy away.
After thinking it through, Ou Shihua had no choice but to gesture to the restaurant manager.
The manager quickly understood what his gesture meant.
Not long after, the wine claimed to be worth millions was brought over.
The red-haired Dabai saw the waiter about to open the wine with a corkscrew and said, "Wait, don’t open it yet, let me take a look."
