Gu family villa.
Old Man Gu had chosen by all means the address of his retirement home. The environment was excellent, and it was built at the foot of the mountain.
They were all living in some of the most wealthy and influential families in the city, so it was quite convenient for them to drive luxury cars in and out.
Today was the Gu family's weekly family reunion day.
Gu Xi Nian had to manage the company, so it was not convenient for him to live in a remote area. He lived in a room by the river, and only at family gatherings would he return to the Gu family villa.
As soon as Gu Xi Nian entered the courtyard, Steward Shen, who had accompanied Old Man Gu for many years, came to greet him. "Young Master Gu, you've returned. Master and Madam are already waiting for you in the living room."
"Thank you, Uncle Shen." Cushion walked straight into the living room.
The delicate dishes had already been prepared, but the atmosphere in the living room was slightly heavy.
Other than his grandfather Gu Donghua and mother Lin Manyin, his uncle Lin Qiyi's family, one of the top executives of the Gu Lin Group, was also present.
Old Man Gu liked liveliness, and he had been looking forward to seeing his grandson for a long time. He liked children very much, so when his entire family was at the Gu residence, Gu Xi Nian was no longer surprised.
"Uncle, you're back!" Uncle's granddaughter, Bei Bei, who looked like his favorite cousin, rushed up to him.
Gu Xi Nian revealed a rare smile. After all, she was the only princess of the Gu and Lin Families, and everyone was doting on her.
"Uncle brought you some delicious food. Let's go eat after dinner." Kubei gently carried Bei Bei over to the dining table.
"I'm sorry, grandfather, mother, uncle, and aunt, I came late. The company has something to take care of. "
When Old Man Gu saw his only grandson, his originally anxious expression relaxed a bit, "The new year has finally arrived. Hurry and eat."
He felt that the atmosphere wasn't right.
In the end, it was her mother, Lin Manyin, who opened her mouth, "Xi Nian, I heard that you made a decision during today's high-level meeting."
Gu Xi Nian raised his eyes slightly and looked across at his uncle, Lin QI Yi. Seeing his slightly embarrassed expression, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Yes, I have previously investigated the market. The small business development has a great impact on the media industry. As a part of the support of the development of media groups, it has a great impact on the media industry."
"Buying a company all of a sudden, why don't you discuss it with us?"
"Didn't Grandpa leave the group to me?" Gu Xi Nian gave Old Man Gu a piece of sweet and sour pork, "Right, Grandfather?"
"Yes, I believe in Xi Nian's ability. Our group has developed quite well in these few years, and Xi Nian's contributions account for a large part of it." Old Man Gu knew the meaning behind Gu Xi Nian's words.
"Dad, buying a company isn't a small matter. You should at least get to the bottom of this …" Lin Manyin's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Manyin, we all know the power of Xinian, I support him in his decision, I hope you will also not be affected by anyone else." As Gu Donghua spoke, he intentionally glanced at Lin Qiyi.
No one dared say anything when the old tutor spoke.
However, in order to consolidate its foundation, it had formed an alliance with the younger daughter of the Lin Clan. It had received the Lin Clan's strong support, so the name of the company later changed to the Gu Lin Group was also used as a form of gratitude to the Lin Clan.
When the aristocratic families joined hands and strengthened themselves, the Gu Lin Group had already become a media group with status both nationally and internationally.
Therefore, it was a normal thing for Gu Xi Nian's uncle, Lin Qiyi, to be in the upper echelons of the Gu Lin Group.
After dinner, Gu Donghua called Gu Xi Nian to the study room.
"Xi Nian, I still want to know, why did you buy that advertising company?" Even after Butler Shen helped Old Man Gu into the study and left, Old Man Gu still couldn't help but feel curious.
"Grandfather, I have my plans. I'll tell you when the time comes."
"Alright. No matter what decision you make, I, the old man, will always support you. "
"Thank you, grandpa."
Old Man Gu looked lovingly at the only grandson in front of him.
When he had handed over the burden of the entire corporation to him all at once, one could imagine how heavy that must have been.
Gu Xi Nian who never disappointed.
"Also, don't keep thinking about work. You can settle the marriage as soon as possible. I want to carry my great-granddaughter. I, your grandfather, am not the kind of person who values a man more than a woman. "
Gouxi Nian knew that no matter what they said, the final topic would always be marriage.
He frowned slightly. "Grandfather, there's no rush."
"Sigh, since your father passed away, my body has been getting worse and worse. This and my walking stick can't be separated anymore."
Alright, Old Man Gu began to play the sign of being wronged.
Old Man Gu spoke as he stole glances at his own sullen grandson, "I think that Mu family's girl is quite good. Before you two were born, our two families already said that a man and a woman would marry each other. This little girl has been following behind you ever since she was a child. Don't look too obvious. She's filial and gentle, and her looks are also good. She's the perfect match for our family. "
"I don't like her." Gu Xi Nian frowned.
"Then who do you like? If you continue like this, you'll end up being a virgin for the rest of your life.
Old Man Gu really wanted to use the cane in his hand to knock on Gu Xi Nian's head a few times. Although his career was going smoothly, his emotions were really worrisome.
"Grandpa, a bet?" Gu Xi Nian poured a cup of Xihu Longjing and passed it to Old Man Gu with a mischievous smile.
