Chapter 2280: Chapter 2082: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing
"You mean Jikang Group?"
Liu Hengbo didn’t understand what she was getting at, but out of consideration, he nodded, "Yes, I know. It’s a big project, and the real estate industry is vying for this deal. Gu Real Estate is also participating in the bidding this time. The results aren’t out yet, but there’s talk that Gu Real Estate is likely to secure this project."
Gu Linxi placed the documents on the coffee table and looked up, her clear eyes gazing at him. She asked slowly, "Didn’t you say the bidding results aren’t out yet?"
Where do these rumors come from if there are no results yet?
"Oh!" Liu Hengbo sighed when he saw she didn’t understand and explained, "You know that Gu Nuan changed her name to Gu Ran to participate in a reality show. After she gained some fame, many second-generation rich kids pursued her. You know her uncle’s family didn’t send her to the show just to meet any ordinary wealthy heirs. They wanted her to gain prestige and marry into a genuinely wealthy family. They’re smart; they won’t let Gu Ran date these people, but they can’t waste these resources either. There’s a kid named Zhang Zhihao who likes Gu Ran. His aunt is a high-ranking executive at Jikang Group. She’s in charge of the bidding this time. With such a connection, Gu Real Estate can find out the psychological pricing of Jikang Group in advance, quote close to that price, and then have Zhang Zhihao pull some strings. Wouldn’t the project logically end up in their hands?"
"A friend of mine secretly told me that during this time, Zhang Zhihao has been frequently taking Gu Ran to meet his aunt. I see this as a surefire thing."
Gu Linxi had met Zhang Zhihao at Taste Pavilion and knew he worshipped Gu Ran. He wouldn’t dare to contradict her, treating her like a goddess.
She just didn’t expect Gu Qinian to stoop to using his own daughter to build relationships.
Moreover, Gu Ran, who always prided herself on her elegance and restraint, surprisingly agreed to such a vile method, using her looks to deceive someone who liked her into trusting her.
She suddenly laughed, her eyes shining, and said softly, "I’ve been away for so long, and the Gu Family is as lively as ever."
"Lively? They’re just a mess!" Liu Hengbo didn’t agree with her, speaking with disdain, "They think they’re being seamless, that others don’t know about their little schemes, but everyone is in the same circle. How could they truly not know what they’re up to behind the scenes? People haven’t said anything because they don’t want to tear into them, but deep down, they probably look down on them."
His thick eyebrows were filled with anger as he clenched his fists, complaining indignantly, "When your father was around, companies begged us to take on projects, and we rigorously vetted the qualifications. But look at him now, selling out his own daughter just to get a job! He’s letting Gu Ran seduce men with her beauty and still thinks he can marry her off into a powerful family. Do they think people in those prestigious families are fools like the frivolous wealthy heirs? That they can be toyed with by father and daughter? Ridiculous! Even if they manage to secure the KangJi project, Gu Ran’s reputation will be ruined. Not to mention marrying into Capital City’s century-old families, any family in Lin City with a bit of self-respect wouldn’t let Gu Ran in! But I’m still angry! Gu Real Estate is the result of your parents’ lifetime of hard work, and I’m watching them ruin it. It breaks my heart!"
