In this villa area, the villas that belonged to the Gu Family had been intentionally encircled, and barriers were put up around them. There was also a door set up, which meant that it was private property. Other people from afar in the villa area were also unable to step foot into this private territory.
The uniformed men in the security booths stood at attention and looked especially energized. There were guns tucked in their belts.
Every time Xu Ning came, he was afraid.
He knew that others could never mess with this Gu Family.
Gu Xie hopped onto the car and said calmly, “Send the President of AG an invitation. I’m treating Ye Ling to a meal.”
“He may not agree to come.”
“To invite or not to invite, that is a matter of my sincerity. To come or not to come, that is his choice.”
“Yes!”
The department gathering was held at a seafood restaurant.
Gubelin booked a Japanese-style room that could fit thirty people. Everyone took off their shoes and put away their belongings safely before taking their seats. Shen Qianshu, Chen Qiuxiang, and the people in their team sat together.
The main purpose of today was to celebrate Lu Mengxi as a newcomer in the company. Perhaps it was because she was the first rich beauty who entered the company and the boss was also generous, the department dinner had become a company dinner with more than 30 people. Usually, when there was a newcomer in the company, it would at most be a department dinner with about ten people. This time, it was made to seem exceptionally grand.
The room was very crowded, and the people who had gathered around were all talking about the biggest gossip news of the day.
“Who exactly is Gu Xie? He’s so scary... he can control public opinion. He must have very powerful connections.”
“Now, everyone is jittery online. Everyone thinks Gu Xie forced Yan Jianming to death, but no one dares to mention it. One of Yan Jianming’s diehard fan said that he was detained by the police for twelve hours today. He was scared stiff and complaining all over the internet.”
“I know of this, but didn’t the official account of the police force call him out for lying? They did not even detain anyone.”
“How can you believe what those people ‘up there’ say? Of course the fan’s words are more reliable.”
“What a quick method! Gu Xie is too scary.”
“Although Yan Jianming was a bit of a f*ckboy, he did not deserve to die. The human heart is a horrible thing.”
Shen Qianshu laughed. Hearing ‘what a quick method!’ and ‘powerful connections,’ the corner of her lips curled up, but she suppressed it. Master had always been this way—fast, cruel, and accurate. Whenever he did something, he was as swift as a sudden clap of thunder which left no time for covering one’s ears. He never leaves anyone time to breath.
She could only say that it was a job well done!
It was great for venting off anger.
The people who were privately discussing Gu Xie and Yan Jianming’s matters were all saying that Yan Jianming was pushed to a dead end and forced to death.
Shen Qianshu said, “I heard that Yan Jianming was murdered.”
Everyone was startled. “Murdered?”
Shen Qianshu smiled. “Wasn’t it stated online? A lot of people had analyzed the whole situation in a logical manner, and they had evidence. I read so much gossip news before they cleared the entire net.”
“Those were analyzed by Gu Xie’s fans. How could you believe that?”
“Then why do you believe what Yan Jianming’s fans say?”
“Qianshu, you’re a fan of Gu Xie...? Oh... Right. Gu Xie is your bestie’s boyfriend.”
“Don’t be in such a hurry to take sides. How can you help the ones you are close to rather than what is logical? The person who passed on matters more.”
Shen Qianshu scoffed. With these filthy words being thrown around, Gu Xie had nowhere to explain himself. Lu Mengxi squinted slightly as if she was listening closely to their gossip. She took a small sip of sake and did not join in the gossiping.
A message from Tong Hua.
Tong Hua: Mommy, are you coming back for dinner?
Shen Qianshu suddenly remembered that there were two ‘Masters’ at home.
Shen Qianshu: Mommy’s at a gathering. Cook something and have it with your ‘foster dad.’ He likes things to be bland. There are some pork ribs in the fridge, and you can make some sweet and sour pork ribs. If it’s too troublesome, just steam it.”
Tong Hua: Mommy, I’m cutting off all ties with you for a day. Goodbye!
