Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254: Gu Jinrong’s Guide to Child Education (2) "I don’t know." Bauer glanced at her, "His wife is from China. But other than that, Robert hasn’t revealed anything publicly."
So, the fourth child of the Xiao Family is so low-key in the United States that she never dares to disclose that she’s the daughter of the richest man in Southeast Asia. That’s quite puzzling. In this way, won’t she be overshadowed by her own husband?
Li Changzhi pondered, unable to find a definite reason or explanation for the strange behavior of the fourth Xiao Family member and her husband’s odd statements.
"You’re right. I can discuss this with Robert." With that, Bauer decided to step into the study and call his old friend.
Watching his back, Li Changzhi bit her lip and finally couldn’t help but ask, "Do we have to work with her? That woman—"
"They say she’s very smart in business and has lots of great ideas. I can’t find a reason not to collaborate with someone like her." It seems that Bauer’s feelings towards Gu Nuan as a business rival were growing increasingly ambivalent, because if Gu Nuan collaborated with someone else, she could potentially help that partner surpass him as the leader.
Thinking that even her own husband was so concerned about Gu Nuan’s mind, Li Changzhi couldn’t help but clench her teeth.
Entering the study, Bauer quietly asked the accompanying secretary, "How has my wife been at home while I was away?"
Marrying a young and pretty wife, twenty years his junior, any man would worry about the possibility of his wife cheating on him.
The secretary said, "Recently, some men have frequently been showing affection to your wife."
"What kind of men?" Bauer squinted his eyes and asked.
The secretary replied, "It seems these individuals’ actions are premeditated."
"Have you found out who’s behind them?"
"Apparently, it’s Ou Group’s President Ou."
"Oh—" Bauer seemed to recall who Ou Shihua was but didn’t remember his face very clearly, as Ou Shihua didn’t engage in real estate when he came to the United States, so there hadn’t been opportunities to interact with Bauer. They might have met only at some public functions.
The secretary continued reporting, "Before, President Ou met with Chairman Gu and invited her for drinks."
Bauer listened with interest, raising his eyebrows: "Do you think this man is truly foolish or pretending to be, only to flatter women?"
The secretary dared not comment carelessly.
Bauer remembered something else, "I heard my wife has some relationship with Chairman Chen of Changda?"
The secretary informed him, "Previously, when she was working at Changda, she worked under Chairman Chen and later became his personal secretary."
Clearly, this information was far more significant than any men showing affection to Li Changzhi, at least it introduced a glint of coldness in Bauer’s eyes.
Not knowing if the secretary was exaggerating, "Recently, the number of times your wife has met with Chairman Chen has increased significantly, although each time she meets him, it’s under the guise of discussing business for you."
Bauer, as he listened, seemed to formulate an idea and said, "Alright then, make a call to President Ou for me."
Hmm? The secretary was surprised but did not inquire further, seeing Bauer unwilling to explain more, quietly left to follow his orders.
Gu Nuan and the Changda team, led by Chen Jiaming, reserved a VIP meeting room in the hotel as a place for work discussions.
A group of people sat around the long conference table, including Chen Jiaming, Sister Yao, Tang Qingzhong, Fu Yubo, and others. Among them, several were clearly Gu Nuan’s trusted aides. Therefore, in this semi-private, semi-official setting, they were free to talk openly without needing to conceal anything or simply flatter Gu Nuan as they might in usual circumstances.
