Shangguan Ling believed that a father-son power struggle could happen at any company.

There was no bloodshed involved when the father and son in the Gu’s Group changed the power.

Well, that was simply an outlier.

Ye Tianxin glanced at Shangguan Ling and calmly thought to herself.

The father-son relationship between Gu Boyan and Gu Yancheng had never been too rigid.

In addition, Gu Yancheng had memories of his previous life, then…

According to the father-son relationship between Gu Boyan and Gu Yancheng, it was not difficult to change ownership of the Group.

There were many Groups in the Empire now. When the parents in those Groups were very powerful, most of their children could only hold them together.

There were very few who could surpass their parents.

A guy like Gu Yancheng could take over the banner of the Gu Group easily.

Others saw him as the pride of heaven.

“I might have to ask Gu Baiyan about it.”

Ye Tianxin took a deep breath. The Gu family was a hurdle that she could not overcome.

Even if there was a Flaming Mountain in front of her, she still had to go over it.

“How do you ask? Gu Boyan may not be able to tell you even if you ask.”

Shangguan Ling could make an appointment with Gu Boyan, but the latter was no ordinary person; he had been fighting in the business for all these years.

“How will you know if you don’t try?”

Ye Tianxin told Shangguan Ling with a bright smile, “I’m going to invite Chairman Gu Boyan to have a cup of tea.”

“Tianxin, you still can’t go alone. Gu Yancheng openly said that he likes you. If you go, wouldn’t it…”

Shangguan Ling thought that if he lost to Li Qingcang, it would be impossible to defeat Gu Yancheng.

Ye Tianxin said, “It will be fine. President Gu is a smart man.”

Then Ye Tianxin took her bag and stood up.

“Shangguan Ling, I’ve read the files, and I’ll study them well. As for now, I’m going to meet Chairman Gu. I will cut the grass and startle the snake to see whether it’ll stay still or run away.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“No, thanks.”

Shangguan Ling thought it would be hard to make an appointment with Chairman Gu. Gu Boyan set a time and place for them to meet as soon as Ye Tianxin called him.

Shangguan Ling looked at Ye Tianxin dumbfounded. He asked, “Did he just agree to meet you?”

“Shangguan Ling, have you forgotten whose daughter I am?”

Ye Tianxin was Xie Xuning’s daughter, so somebody like Gu Boyan wouldn’t say no to her.

Ye Tianxin was sent to the outside of the club by Shangguan Ling at three o’clock in the afternoon.

“Miss Ye, please. Chairman Gu is waiting for you.”

The club took the high-end route.

A membership card was required to enter the club. This policy was established to better protect the privacy of the members.

Ye Tianxin was led by the waiter to a pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Chairman Gu was reading the Buddhist scriptures.

Hearing Ye Tianxin’s voice, he stood up and put the book aside.

“Miss Ye, what kind of tea would you like to drink?”

“Some Jasmine tea, please.”

“Give Miss Ye a cup of Jasmine tea.”

The two sat down, and Ye Tianxin looked at the lotus flowers on the lake. It was rather strange; it was not the season for lotus flowers to bloom.

Even so, the pink lotus flowers were still blooming on the lake. The fragrance of the lotus floated gently with the breeze.

As soon as Ye Tianxin sat down, she went ahead and asked, “Chairman Gu, have you by any chance heard of the ivory smuggling case?”

Chairman Gu was startled. He never expected Ye Tianxin to ask about something like that. He responded, “I’ve heard other people talk about it. Anyone willing to do something as heinous as that should be sentenced to death.”
