Chapter 381: Shen Yizhi’s Worry!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Mo Junyan and Shen Yizhi returned to the banquet hall, Gu Jianguo was at the buffet dining table picking out food for his Madam.

When Shen Yizhi saw that the plate in Madam Gu’s hand was filled with desserts, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch. He looked at Madam Gu strangely.

Didn’t they say that people who loved sweets were all fat?

Madam Gu loved sweets so much and looked like she was eating without any scruples. Yet she did not look fat. In fact, her figure was even more impressive than a young girl’s!

It seemed that Madam Gu was good at maintaining her figure.

Gu Jianguo noticed Shen Yizhi’s gaze. After picking up a chocolate cup for Madam, he smiled and said, “President Mo, President Shen, have you eaten? Why don’t you eat together? Not to mention anything else, this dessert is not bad!”

It was just a little inferior to the ones made by the chef at home.

The corner of Shen Yizhi’s mouth twitched again. They didn’t like these desserts, especially Mo Junyan. He had known Mo Junyan for more than 20 years, but he had never seen him eat anything sweet. He didn’t even want to put a piece of rock sugar in a cup of coffee. He said that only by maintaining and savoring the original taste of coffee would the sweet fragrance emitted be more likable.

Shen Yizhi was about to refuse, but Mo Junyan agreed before he could say anything. Shen Yizhi’s words immediately choked in his throat, and his expression was a little strange!

He did not expect that his friend, who had always been stubborn and cold to women, would curry favor with others for a woman. From this, it could be seen that his good friend was deeply in love with that woman.

At the thought of this, while he was happy for his good friend, he was also slightly worried!

In the past, he thought, oh, everyone thought that with Mo Junyan’s condition and coldness towards women, he would probably be single for the rest of his life. Shen Yizhi had once been very worried that this good friend of his would be lonely for the rest of his life.

However, who would have thought that he would take a fancy to a woman in such a short period of time?

The woman he had his eyes on was a prominent figure in Sea City.

Of course, her infamy was not due to her skills in the business world or her status in the business world. Instead, it was her love triangle that people talked about.

Gu Qingming was dating a man from the countryside, but he was poached by her best friend. In fact, it turned out that she was set up by them.

How should he put this?

Gu Qingming had been nurtured by Gu Jianguo since she was young and was quite famous in the business world. At such a young age, she had already completed a few projects and was very successful. Compared to her peers, she was much more outstanding.

She was smart and intelligent, but she was deceived by two country bumpkins and even lost her virginity due to a freak combination of factors. Furthermore, she was pregnant with a child.

She had obviously become the laughingstock of the upper class of Sea City.

Speaking of which, there were many socialites and young ladies in the capital who were prettier than Gu Qingming and more talented than her. Why did Mo Junyan take a fancy to Gu Qingming?

He didn’t think Gu Qingming had any magic or charm.

Of course, Mo Junyan did not fall for any random woman.

The woman he liked must have other outstanding qualities that Shen Yizhi was not aware of.

But it was precisely because of this that he was worried that Gu Qingming would become Mo Junyan’s weakness.

Mo Junyan was well-known in the business world. He was cold, ruthless, and impartial. His opponents in the business world had no direction to attack.

However, once Gu Qingming became his wealmess, his competitors in the business world would have an opening to break through.

Although the Gu family was the richest family in Sea City, they were nothing compared to those influential people in the capital. Perhaps with just a move of their fingers, the richest family in Sea City might become a failure overnight.

If Mo Junyan really liked Gu Qingming, he would probably not leave her be. This way, the competitors in the business world would have a lot of room to manipulate if they wanted to attack Mo Junyan.

He hoped that the Gu family could withstand the oppression of foreign powers. He did not want to be forced to betray the Mo family before they could come to his rescue.

Of course, Shen Yizhi’s worries were completely unnecessary.

Who knew what would happen in the future?

It was just that Shen Yizhi felt a little strange when he saw Mo Junyan treating Gu Qingming’s parents so politely and respectfully.

Under everyone’s shock, Mo Junyan sat with Gu Jianguo and his wife as they ate dessert. At the same time, he discussed business matters with Gu Jianguo.

When he found out that Gu Jianguo had the intention to expand the Gu Corporation’s business, Mo Junyan was a little tempted!

If the Gu Corporation was good, Gu Qingming would have the confidence to marry him.

After all, Gu Qingming was the head of the Gu Corporation!

With such an identity, no one among the upper-class socialites in the capital would dare to underestimate her.

Of course, even without the identity of the head of the Gu Corporation, he could still protect Gu Qingming and her daughter.

Shang Chenghao looked at Mo Junyan and Shen Yizhi standing together with Gu Jianguo and his wife with an inexplicable expression.

As the President of the Sea City Business Association, he had a certain authority and status.

This cocktail party was originally held in the name of the association. As the President, he was the most dazzling and respected person in the entire venue.

Everyone should be respectful to him, curry favor with him, and flatter him.

When a big shot like Mo Junyan arrived, he should be the host.

However, at this moment, Mo Junyan and Shen Yizhi ignored him and actually sat with Gu Jianguo and his wife. This was a ruthless slap to his face as the president.

Rong Cheng stared at Gu Jianguo and the others angrily for a while. When he turned around, he noticed Shang Chenghao’s expression and immediately rolled his eyes.

He walked up to Shang Chenghao and said in a low voice, “President, isn’t Gu Jianguo too arrogant? If Mo Junyan is here, you should be the one entertaining him, right? Look at how happily Gu Jianguo is chatting with Mo Junyan and Shen Yizhi. He doesn’t care about you at all!”

Usually, Shang Chenghao was on good terms with Gu Jianguo and was very protective of him.

Now, at the critical moment, Gu Jianguo did not seem to have thought of Shang Chenghao at all. He had gone to entertain Mo Junyan on his own and this was a huge slap to Shang Chenghao’s face!

As long as Rong Cheng fanned the flames, he was not afraid that Shang Chenghao and Gu Jianguo would not fall out!

What kind of person was Shang Chenghao? How could he not know Rong Cheng’s motives?

Shang Chenghao glanced at him and said coldly, “Boss Rong, didn’t you see that President Mo took the initiative to greet Gu Jianguo and his wife and invited them to be together?”

Shang Chenghao wasn’t stupid either!

No matter how dissatisfied he was with Gu Jianguo, he would not fall out with him on this occasion!

Now that Gu Jianguo had obtained Mo Junyan’s recognition, the Gu Corporation would not be just the richest family in Sea City!
