Su Mier attracted the whole board’s attention.
Shao Tianze took over all the Gu’s business after Gu Changge’s death and changed the Gu’s into the Shao enterprise within a year. Media had been paying attention to it, and board members had been unhappy about it.
But many of them reserved their opinions because of Gu Changge’s death.
Shao Tianze took advantage of this great opportunity to become the temporary board chairman of the Shao enterprise.
All the board members stood for re-election every three years, and it was time to re-elect a new chairman this year.
So, many board members came prepared.
As the Shao enterprise had to make a change and re-elect a new chairman, many young heirs were qualified to attend the board meeting.
And as Su Mier was such a beauty, she attracted the attention of the people who cared a lot about the board meeting when she appeared on TV.
Gu Changle fixed her eyes on TV, and her envy grew bit by bit, “What a beauty. She must be a new heir.”
Shao Tianze also looked at Su Mier and pressed his lips, replying, “She seems to be a mixed-race rich daughter.”
“That’s easier to figure her out. We only need to find out which director has a mixed-race daughter.” Gu Changle felt confident.
But Shao Tianze frowned and replied, “None of the board members has a daughter who is about the same age as her.”
“That’s odd.” Actually, Gu Changle couldn’t care less about the rich daughter’s background.
For her, the person in charge of the board was still Shao Tianze. Even if the directors dispatched some heirs, they just came to widen their horizons. If some important decisions had to be made, they couldn’t take part in it.
Noticing that the meeting was about to begin, Gu Changle told Shao Tianze in a gentle voice, “Almost everyone has arrived. It’s time to show up.”
Hearing that, Shao Tianze got up from the leather sofa and adjusted his cuffs.
Gu Changle wore a black dress with a small white cape on it, and her long hair rested on her shoulders. She gently walked over and adjusted Shao Tianze’s tie.
“A formal agreement is always better than a temporary one. So, you will surely get what you want in this board meeting.”
Gu Changle had always been honey-lipped. Besides, Shao Tianze had been waiting for this day for so long. So when hearing Gu Changle’s words, Shao Tianze couldn’t help smiling confidently.
The smile was handsome and warm, making Gu Changle flush.
When he showed up in front of the mass media, he was handsome and impressive on cameras.
Many rich daughters who saw Shao Tianze on TV felt that Gu Changge had good taste in those years.
However, if Gu Changge had seen him now, she would have felt that choosing Shao Tianze, a faithless bastard, to be her husband was the worst decision she had ever made.
Before the board meeting, Su Mier and Shao Tianze encountered each other.
Su Mier was sexier compared with her appearance on TV.
However, it made Gu Changle unhappy.
So for a moment, Gu Changle wanted to drag Shao Tianze back when Shao Tianze walked over to Su Mier.
But she knew that it was inappropriate for her to do so in public.
So there was nothing she could do.
Besides, she had to walk together with Shao Tianze to greet Su Mier.
Su Mier looked at Shao Tianze smilingly. Not until Shao Tianze got close to her did she greet, “Chairman Shao.”
“Welcome. There are some participants I’m not familiar with. May I know which family you’re from?”
Shao Tianze asked Su Mier politely.
Su Mier winked and quipped, “About this… My boss said it’s a secret.”
“A secret?”
“Yes.” Su Mier nodded, apologizing, “My apology.”
“Never mind. I’ll know it in the meeting.”
Su Mier smiled amorously, “Right.”
Shao Tianze would like to talk with Su Mier about something else. But Gu Changle immediately reminded Shao Tianze when seeing that they were talking happily, “Tianze, look. Director Lan is coming over.”
Hearing that, Shao Tianze instantly looked in the direction Gu Changle was pointing at.
The Lan Family’s position was quite important on the board.
If Shao Tianze wanted to be the board chairman, he must have the Lan Family’s support.
Shao Tianze immediately thought of that and organized his words.
Seeing the person in charge of the Lan Family, Shao Tianze smiled at Su Mier apologetically, saying, “I’m so sorry. Excuse me for a minute.”
Su Mier nodded.
But she said when Shao Tianze was about to leave, “Chairman Shao, you may call me Su Mier.”
Hearing that, Shao Tianze paused, gave Su Mier a polite smile, and continued walking to the Lan Family.
As soon as Shao Tianze heard the name Su Mier, he began to think if there had been a director surnamed Su.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t think of one.
Along the way, he couldn’t think of a director surnamed Su from the board members he knew.
Meanwhile, Gu Changle asked him, “Is there a director surnamed Su?”
“No.” He answered.
Gu Changle felt strange, saying, “In that case, why Su Mier is here?”
“Maybe she adopted her mother’s surname.”
If so, it would be natural that Shao Tianze didn’t remember which family she was from.
Gu Changle stayed with Shao Tianze all along with a gentle smile.
After Gu Changge died, Gu Changle had always been around Shao Tianze. Though not all the board members knew about their affairs, they could understand something when seeing that they had always been together.
And some of them gossiped about this behind their back.
Meanwhile, Su Mier overheard the conversation.
“Gu Changle and Gu Changge are not quite alike.”
“Come on! How could they be alike as they were not born by the same parents?”
The young man seemed to know nothing about this. He couldn’t help asking further, “So what is her relationship with Gu Changge?”
“You don’t know about it? Gu Changle was adopted by Gu Changge’s father. Otherwise, how could Gu Changge let off Gu Changle as she had been so cruel to her father’s bastard?”
Words failed that man.
Actually, the man was right.
Gu Changge would have mercilessly eradicated his father’s bastard if they had been a threat.
The reason that she let off Gu Changle was that Gu Changle was not a threat to her in the Gu Family.
And Gu Changle was smart enough to stay low-key to avoid being targeted.
But at the end of their conversation, they couldn’t help sighing.
“So they really hook up with each other, like what we saw just now?”
“Yeah, probably.”
“Since Gu Changle and Gu Changge are not related by blood, she can marry Shao Tianze in the future without any difficulty.”
“That’s right.”
Hearing their conversation, Su Mier couldn’t help raising her eyebrows, and then she walked away from them.
She took no notice of their gossip.
She couldn’t interfere with Gu Changle and Shao Tianze’s future relationship.
The only thing she could do was to stop Shao Tianze from becoming the new chairman in the board meeting this time.
…
As the Shao enterprise’s board meeting was about to begin, commotions could be heard among the journalists.
And when the meeting officially began, only authorized personnel could enter and leave the conference room in the Shao enterprise headquarters.
At the gate, the journalists were waiting wearily for the meeting to end. Then they would report who was the new board chairman.
And many of the families that had business with the Shao enterprise began to guess who would be the winner.
Song Yunxuan had met Su Mier and didn’t bother to care about what would happen in the board meeting. After the meeting began, she set out to find a person who would be very useful to her.
The person was Ding Ali.
Ding Ali was staying among the journalists waiting at the gate of the Shao enterprise headquarters.
Song Yunxuan knew it from a photo sent by a staff of the Fanxing Magazine who went along to the Shao enterprise headquarters.
She couldn’t help chuckling when looking at the photo. Then she wanted to visit the woman named Ding Ali.
Ding Ali had been waiting there for so long. As the meeting wouldn’t be over in a short while, she went to buy a hamburger and some beverage from a fast-food restaurant nearby.
When she came out, she encountered Song Yunxuan.
She paused and felt that she might have seen Song Yunxuan somewhere before. Then she recalled that Song Yunxuan was Chu Mochen’s fiancee.
She hastily looked away, wanting to leave. There were envy and reluctance in her eyes.
Why could such a little girl let Chu Mochen lose his heart to her?
How unfair!
