Chapter 271 — The Problem Solved at a Stroke: Wei Zhao, You Bastard, You Knew the Jump Meant Trouble, Yet You Jumped, Are You Stupid?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Outside the gate of "Bungee Valley" in the amusement park was parked Uncle Qing's Bentley. The car belonged to Gu Pengzhan, chairman of the Gu Group, and the park staff all knew it, so the car could be parked anywhere in the park.
After hearing Gu Mengyao's retelling of what had happened, Uncle Qing fell into deep thought, and his earlier tension eased a great deal. If things were truly as Gu Mengyao said, and Wei Zhao had jumped knowing the danger, then either he was absolutely certain nothing would happen, or he was a fool.
Clearly, Wei Zhao was not a fool. Even though Uncle Qing had told Wei Zhao not to alert the enemy, there was no need for Wei Zhao to throw his life away when mortal danger threatened.
Still, Uncle Qing could not fathom why Wei Zhao had done so. In any case, he reported the matter to Gu Pengzhan at the first moment.
After receiving Uncle Qing's message, Gu Pengzhan was first stunned, then burst into hearty laughter...
Gu Mengyao overheard the laughter over the phone. Frowning, she snatched the phone from Uncle Qing in displeasure. "Daddy, Xiaoshu and Wei Zhao are in trouble. How can you still laugh?"
"Laugh? Of course I must laugh. The problem that has troubled me for days is finally solved at a stroke." Gu Pengzhan laughed loudly. "I never thought it, truly never thought it, that Mr. Lin would send me such a great gift..."
"Daddy, what are you talking about? What gift? What solved at a stroke?" Gu Mengyao listened in utter bewilderment.
"Hehe, Yaoyao, give the phone to Uncle Qing. I will speak with him, and let him explain it to you slowly." It was plain that Gu Pengzhan was in excellent spirits, not at all affected by what had happened to Wei Zhao and Shen Yushu. On the contrary, he was delighted.
Bewildered, Gu Mengyao handed the phone back to Uncle Qing, who took it. "Mr. Gu..."
"Li Fu, who would have thought it? With the stir Wei Zhao has caused, our troubles are solved at a stroke." Gu Pengzhan said with a smile.
"Oh? Mr. Gu, you mean..." A light gleamed in Uncle Qing's eyes. As an old retainer at Gu Pengzhan's side, he grasped Gu Pengzhan's meaning as soon as it was spoken.
"Exactly. Notify the shareholders. Tomorrow, which is Sunday at eight, we will convene the shareholders' meeting on time." At this moment Gu Pengzhan truly admired Wei Zhao. That move was beautifully played.
In recent days, Gu Pengzhan had made several attempts to gather power back in the company, but with little effect and obstacles at every turn. After all, though you are chairman, there are other shareholders. If you want to consolidate power, you must ask whether others will agree.
In truth, Gu Pengzhan was not targeting the others. His true target was Jin Gubang. But Jin Gubang was the second-largest shareholder of the company. To move against Jin Gubang without any pretext might leave the other shareholders feeling threatened. If Jin Gubang then fanned the flames and strung those men together, winning them over, would not the chairman himself be left as an empty shell?
