Chapter 202: Using Public Office for Personal Gain
If Gu Xiaozhan is really venting his anger for Mu Anhan, then he cares about her deeply, to the point where he won’t allow anyone to bully her!
The result was undoubtedly something that made her happy and shocked.
After all, targeting a foreigner implicates not just individuals but potentially a family, and it may even trigger a butterfly effect that places a country in the spotlight of a diplomatic incident.
However, when Mu Anhan didn’t hear him say it himself, she felt uncertain. What if he wasn’t doing it for her?
Who knew Gu Xiaozhan would chuckle coldly, "Mu Shaochen, are you setting me up for a trap? Trying to make me admit to using public power for private gain?"
As soon as he finished, everyone laughed.
Mr. Gu was clearly using public power for private gain, but he just wouldn’t admit it. What could anyone do to him?
Just like he loves Mu Anhan, loving her to the point of madness, yet he has never verbally said the three words "I love you" to her!
Some people only act, never speak.
Gu Xiaozhan is the typical example.
Mu Anhan placed both hands over her chest, feeling her heartbeat growing more intense.
This man, clearly worried about her being hurt by others, yet he tells her nothing.
He would stand up for her privately, yet when facing her, he acted fiercely!
Tang Haolang, known for his tact, immediately said, "How could Mr. Gu use public power for private gain? Shao Chen, what are you babbling about? The oil market has long needed restructuring! The Feng family has monopolized this sector for decades, right? They say thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; the position does indeed need to be shifted."
Mu Shaochen chuckled lightly, feeling quite pleased, "I apologize, I shouldn’t have babbled!"
Knowing Gu Xiaozhan has always protected Mu Anhan like his life, and now seeing Mu Anhan love Gu Xiaozhan back, as the third brother, he’s definitely happy.
"Mr. Gu, the oil market is starting to become chaotic; what do you think we should do?" He Gang asked.
Gu Xiaozhan’s distinctly jointed fingers tapped rhythmically on the table a few times, "Since he wants to stir trouble, let him stir..."
Before he finished speaking, his phone rang, and he saw it was a call from the President Mansion.
The oil sector’s profits are incredibly high, and it seems someone can no longer hold back.
"Let Feng Ruixiang go ahead and mess things up, He Gang, just keep a close watch on the situation," Gu Xiaozhan finished and signaled everyone to go out and get to work.
Everyone filed out.
Gu Xiaozhan answered the phone, "Your Excellency..."
"Xiaozhan, regarding the oil issue, the public’s grievances are quite heavy right now. Are you aware?" Pei Long sighed, "What’s really going on?"
Gu Xiaozhan replied coolly, "Someone has always been responsible for this sector. Your Excellency should talk to them, why ask me?"
Pei Long: "..."
The President Mansion has informants everywhere; he couldn’t possibly not know. It was precisely because Gu Xiaozhan had the police detain Feng Siling that Feng Ruixiang initiated a price war in oil, causing chaos, to confront Gu Xiaozhan, right?
Things Pei Long knows, Gu Xiaozhan would surely know too?
"Hahaha..." Pei Long laughed awkwardly, "I know Feng Ruixiang has always been handling things; he’s the son-in-law of the Gu Family and related to you. If you step in to mediate, it would be better both publicly and privately, wouldn’t it?"
Who knew Gu Xiaozhan decided to stay out of it, "Your Excellency, you should still set up a task force to investigate. The oil sector has always had the ability to control the nation’s economic lifeline. I believe Your Excellency also hopes for peace and prosperity in the nation!"
