Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 159: Let’s Listen to the Recording Together

In the private dining room of the Marriott Grand Hotel, Gu Chengjun and his family of three sat at the dining table, enjoying a sumptuous meal.

Gu Chengjun looked smug: "How was my move? Never mind that the old man supports that girl in everything, as long as our son comes back and calls him grandpa, the old man’s heart will turn to Ah Jie. No matter how capable that girl is, the Xiangyi Group of the Gu Family belongs to our Ah Jie."

Sun Xiaoli laughed, her body shaking with pleasure: "Husband, your move is brilliant. Luckily, you had our son return from the U.S. early, or else our family assets would have been taken by that little vixen. Look at today, hearing that she has to give up the president’s position scared her out of her wits, it is killing me with laughter, it really feels so satisfying."

Son Gu Jie wiped his mouth with disdain: "In my memory, Xiangyi is just a silly girl, and Xin Yan is a cripple. Just relying on the two of them to seize our Gu family’s inheritance, Dad, Mom, you were too careless."

With a sinister look on his face, Gu Chengjun put down his glass: "It’s because your father is too soft-hearted, too concerned with appearances. Who knew that young girl would grow up to be so ungrateful, turning around to bite us and force us to give up shares. When she was young, I even picked her up from school, who knew she’d be so ungrateful."

Sun Xiaoli’s eyebrows shot up, a look of indignant rage on her face: "It’s not those two girls with the skill, it’s all that little rogue Xu Xiangbei. He brought in Liu Hongan to force us into giving up shares, and if we didn’t transfer shares, they wouldn’t invest in us, it’s too much of a bullying act."

Gu Chengjun snorted coldly: "That day, it even made me slap myself; just thinking about it makes me angry."

Gu Jie’s eyes flashed with a cunning look: "Dad, Mom, don’t be angry anymore. Once I become the company’s president, I’ll definitely make the company better."

Hearing their son Gu Jie say this, Sun Xiaoli couldn’t hold back her smile and praised: "Our son is really sensible, I knew you’d become successful, becoming the pillar of strength for our Gu Family."

Gu Chengjun wasn’t as excited, he picked up a bite of food: "You, just don’t get into trouble for me, managing a company isn’t as easy as you say."

"Dad, why don’t you believe in my abilities? I’m a top graduate from New York Professional University..."

Talking about going to university in America, Gu Chengjun became angry and threw his chopsticks onto the table: "Give it a rest, New York Professional University is a bogus school. I was the one who gave you the money to buy the diploma, and that diploma can only fool your mom and your grandpa."

Gu Jie turned to his mom for support: "Mom, Dad simply doesn’t trust people, New York University is clearly a legitimate school, yet he insists it’s a bogus university."

Sun Xiaoli glared, defending her son fiercely: "Stop looking down on our son, you know nothing, you say it’s a bogus university, but the graduation certificate can be verified online."

Gu Chengjun sulkily said: "Alright, arguing back and forth is pointless, come tomorrow, we’ll go to the company together to force that girl to give up the president’s position, let’s handle that first. As for your abilities, only you truly know, my suggestion is to learn slowly from that girl Xiangyi. In business, in managing companies, that girl Xiangyi still has the skill. Some businesses we can’t negotiate, but with just a little brainpower from her, the contracts are signed."

Hearing Gu Chengjun praise Gu Xiangyi, Sun Xiaoli was dissatisfied: "That girl can’t do business at all. The company was nearly managed to bankruptcy by her, and you still praise her. I think she can’t compare to our son anywhere."

Blaming the company’s current crisis entirely on Gu Xiangyi, Gu Chengjun’s face reddened, his eyes uncertain, as in truth the company crisis had a direct connection to him, but he dared not speak the truth in front of his wife, only letting Gu Xiangyi take the blame.

Gu Jie was feeling smug from his mom’s compliments: "Mom, it’s already late, I need to find you a daughter-in-law, can you give me 20,000 yuan to spend?"

Gu Chengjun glared: "You brat, all you know is to ask for money, didn’t I just give you 20,000 yuan yesterday?"

Gu Jie turned his head in annoyance, pretending he didn’t hear.

Seeing her son being scolded, Sun Xiaoli sympathetically took a bank card from her purse and handed it to her son: "Here, there’s 100,000 yuan in this card for your pocket money this month. Spend it slowly, don’t blow through it in a few days."

Gu Jie took the bank card and ran out of the restaurant happily: "Mom, I love you, I’m leaving."

Gu Chengjun pointed at Sun Xiaoli and lectured: "An indulgent mother raises a wayward son, why give him so much money; with money to spend, he wouldn’t want to come and work at the company. If he doesn’t study hard, he’ll never compare to that girl Xiangyi. Even if we let him be the president, he won’t know what to do."

"You just have no confidence in your son, once he sits in the president’s chair, he’ll naturally know everything, there’s no need for your worry. I’ve got an appointment with Mrs. Li for some beauty treatment, I’m not going back with you; you drive yourself."

Sun Xiaoli picked up her limited edition LV bag and arrogantly left the private room.

Without his wife and son, Gu Chengjun felt it was meaningless to eat alone. Checking his watch, a sly, lecherous grin crept across his lips, and he called the KTV Manager Wu upstairs: "Manager Wu, got any new girls lately?"

"Ah, it’s President Gu, of course, we do; a few fresh and charming young girls just arrived from the south, so vibrant, should I reserve one for you?"

"Don’t lie to me, you know I have high standards."

"Don’t worry, President Gu, I’ll keep the prettiest one for you."

Anticipating that soon he’d be singing and getting a massage with a tender young girl, Gu Chengjun couldn’t help but be elated. He pushed back the chair and gathered his wallet and lighter, and the door to the private room creaked open, with someone walking in.

He didn’t look up, assuming it was his wife returning, and asked with annoyance: "What did you forget to take?"

Entering was not his wife, but the grinning Xu Xiangbei: "Uncle Gu, it’s me. How did you know I forgot something?"

Seeing the large face of Xu Xiangbei and his nauseating smile, Gu Chengjun was so frightened he nearly fell off his chair, asking nervously: "Why is it you? How did you know I’m here?"

Xu Xiangbei, not bothering with politeness, plopped down at the table, picked up an unused pair of chopsticks, and pinched a piece of braised pork, eating with oil dripping, savoring with eyes closed: "So delicious, it’s such a pity Uncle Gu won’t get to taste this succulent braised pork."

Hearing Xu Xiangbei call him Uncle Gu, Gu Chengjun felt it especially jarring.

Guilty as a thief, knowing the visitor had ill intent, he stiffened his face: "What do you mean by that, you brat?"

Xu Xiangbei placed his phone on the table and smiled at Gu Chengjun, even though it was a charming grin, Gu Chengjun’s heart pounded with fear, feeling uneasy, wildly guessing, what exactly does this kid want?

Xu Xiangbei gestured to the chair, signaling him to sit down, and said warmly: "Uncle Gu, come, let’s listen to a recording together."
