Chapter 341 338. Pay attention to the impact (Thanks to Leader Chang An~)

Author: Ye Liang

"Who said that? What's my reputation now? Why didn't I know?" Gu Yuqing's face turned livid.

Gu Zongyan said: "Who doesn't speak behind someone's back, and who doesn't speak before others? You don't have to worry about who said it, but you have to know that a crowd of words makes a difference."

Seeing that his daughter's face looked ugly, he said softly: "You still have to pay close attention to some of your behaviors."

Gu Yuqing suddenly felt extremely angry.

It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. If it's a business battle of equal strength, she won't be afraid at all. These dirty tricks from behind are the most disgusting.

She turned around and looked around. The senior executives around her, as well as her relatives, all lowered their heads with guilt.

Gu Yuqing rarely meets her father. Apart from showing up at the company, she rarely interacts with her father's circle of friends.

If there are bad rumors about him, these relatives sitting here must be involved.

Gu Yuqing's tone was stiff: "I think my usual behavior is normal and I haven't done anything extraordinary. How should I pay attention?"

Gu Zongyan was not very happy when he heard this, pointed at her and said:

"If you know where you went wrong, that's fine. If you don't know, that's even worse. That means your mentality has changed. If your mentality is wrong, you will take everything you do for granted."

Gu Yuqing combed her temples with a hint of sullenness, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and tried to force out a forced smile:

"Then I have to know which of my actions caused public outrage? Otherwise, I don't know which direction to change, don't you think?"

Gu Zongyan pursed his lips and said: "Someone reported to me that you and the investment object are a little close in private, so close that it makes people suspect that there is something improper."

Gu Yuqing has been staying with Chen Ya every day these days. Of course she knows who the so-called "investment target" refers to, but she insists on pretending to be stupid.

"Ah? What investment object?"

"Are you trying to say that there is no such thing?"

"It is true that we go out with the opposite sex, but at my age, going out with the opposite sex is not a big deal, right? I have an investment target like this. I really don't understand what I'm talking about."

Gu Zongyan frowned and said, "Your cousin Zefeng has taken a photo of you. Didn't you go out hand in hand with someone of the opposite sex on the Qingming Festival?"

Gu Zefeng, who was sitting aside, was instantly betrayed. He covered his face with a notebook and shrank his body under the table.

Gu Yuqing had no time to care about this guy anymore and said:

"I did go out with a person of the opposite sex, but the so-called investment target is nonsense. That person is not the company's investment target, and I definitely did not do anything illegal."

Going out with Chen Ya is certainly not illegal.

That was her private investment.

Is it wrong to go and give him a little extra care?

"I'm not talking about any illegal operation." Gu Zongyan sighed.

He felt that it seemed that it would be impossible for him not to speak more clearly.

"What I'm saying is that at your age, you need to be careful about your reputation, and you need to be careful about your behavior when going out with the opposite sex."

Gu Yuqing began to recall nervously whether she and Chen Ya had done anything untoward when they went out.

At first I felt very unfair, but after thinking about it, I felt a little complacent when I went out with him. I was addicted to sticking to him. If someone saw me, I might misunderstand my relationship.

Gu Yuqing couldn't help but blush, but she still argued stubbornly:

"Didn't you say that you won't care about me for half a year? You don't need to preach to me if I go out with you, right?"

Gu Zongyan raised his voice and said, "I'm not caring about you, I'm just reminding you to pay attention! These are two different things!"

"Then why don't you remind me to behave carefully when I go out with my buddies from the Yi family and the Liu family?"

"The children of the aristocratic family know each other's ins and outs, but who knows if other people will take risks and do something to hurt you with the thought of a pheasant flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix?"

Gu Yuqing was quite dissatisfied when Chen Ya was said like this, but she couldn't refute it. After all, Gu Zongyan was also thinking about her.

If she objected, it would be unreasonable for her daughter to do so. But she knew in her heart that how could Gu Zongyan care if she was hurt?

All he cares about is the Gu family's face.

So I felt even more depressed and panicked, so I had to grab the water glass on the table and drink a lot of water.

Gu Zongyan also had a livid face.

My eldest daughter is rebellious by nature, and every time I talk to her, I feel very bad.

"Let's discuss this matter when we go down. We still have important things to discuss today."

Speaking of business matters, the executives below opened the notebooks in front of them, picked up pens, and took notes carefully, as if they had been well trained.

Gu Zongyan calmed down and continued: "Recently, Donghuang Seven Stars has decided to invest 1 billion to create a next-generation open world mobile game.

"They decided to spin off a studio and let our acquaintance Cai Zhenyi, the boy from the Cai family, take the lead in development.

"They naturally want to spread the risk by adopting this model, but after evaluation, we believe that this project has a high possibility of large-scale profitability, so we are considering participating to share a share of the pie. Today we are here to discuss and decide on this matter."

As she listened, Gu Yuqing felt more and more something was wrong. When she heard that it was Cai Zhenyi who developed the so-called "open world mobile game" in the end, she lost her composure at all.

This happened to be a game on the same track as Chen Ya. The ones I invested privately and the ones invested by the company became competitors, and when the time came, I was put on a par with each other.

"How come I don't know about this?" Gu Yuqing immediately objected, "Donghuang Qixing's own financial situation is very healthy, how can I determine whether there is fraud?"

Gu Zongyan glanced at her and said: "You were not asked to come during the discussion, so of course you don't know. As for whether there is any fraud involved, I know better than you."

After a pause, he added: "An investment of 1 billion is an astronomical figure for the current mobile game market. Even Donghuang Qixing would find it difficult to undertake a project of this level. But for us, 10

100 million can only be considered so-so. In addition, we have always wanted to enter the field of culture and entertainment, and investing in their project can be considered a test..."

After Gu Zongyan finished speaking, the executives and actuaries below listed a large amount of data. This matter had been decided without his participation at all. Gu Yuqing found that she could not get in the middle of the conversation at all.

In the final vote by show of hands, the executives present almost unanimously approved the investment vote, with only Gu Yuqing not taking a stand.

But the decision whether to invest or not is no longer in her hands.

"The Gu family has entered the gaming field." If this news is released, it will be another thunder and will definitely cause shocks in the stock market.

Although the entire gaming industry has developed for many years, it is still new waters for established families like the Gu family and the Lu family.

These families control a large amount of resources and financial resources and can make all the difference in traditional industries.

But with the rise of the IT industry and the cultural and entertainment industry, and the birth of new wealthy people one after another, these established families have already begun to panic.

Everyone knows that traditional industries are declining and will only decline more and more in the future. Those big families want to take advantage of their wealth to enter new fields and carve out a niche.

Just like what Gu Zongyan said just now, one billion is a lot for an industry leader like Donghuang Qixing, but for the Gu family, it's just so-so.

Moreover, the Lu family entered the entertainment industry some time ago, acquiring Haiya and establishing Aihua Company. The momentum was huge and the results were very good. The Gu family must be jealous.

The Gu family's test of the waters must have been planned for a long time, and it just happened to be the right time to invest in Cai Zhenyi's studio.

This matter cannot be controlled by one person.

However, now that even the Gu family has come to the scene in person, what should she and Chen Ya do?

…

After the meeting, Gu Zongyan took Gu Yuqing downstairs and got into his Lincoln business car parked outside the door.

On the extra-long and widened back seat, there is a circle of seats like a small KTV private room, a massage chair behind it, and an aromatherapy machine. There is also an ancient wooden square tea table at hand.

Gu Zongyan got into the car and sat in his seat, while Gu Yuqing sat on the bench beside him.

After staring at Gu Yuqing for a long time, he asked, "What do you think?"

"What do you think?" Gu Yuqing's neck was stiff and her tone was foul.

Sitting in the private car, Gu Zongyan completely lost his pretense of being a loving father and said:

"Have you reached puberty? Are you feeling young? Do you want to fall in love freely?"

Gu Yuqing was silent. She never expected Gu Zongyan to remember her birthday. When she was in high school, one day Gu Zongyan wanted to pick her up on a whim, but ended up going to the elementary school where she attended and waited for a long time.

She also didn't want to remind Gu Zongyan that she was already in her twenties and had already passed puberty.

"I don't care what you think about that person, but I want to tell you that if you still want to be my daughter, then I must choose a husband for you." Gu Zongyan took a sip of tea.

Gu Yuqing looked away: "I don't want to find a husband."

"I don't care," Gu Zongyan said, "If you want to find a husband by yourself, then I tell you, on the day you get married, you will no longer be my daughter."

Gu Yuqing remained silent.

Gu Zongyan continued: "If you want to love freely, I will not recognize the ridiculous terms and conditions that your mother forced me to make. I will pretend that I don't have you as my daughter. I will pretend that I didn't marry Wen Shujing before I married Wen Shujing.

Never married, never had children."

Gu Yuqing's heart was in turmoil. Her uncomfortable mood was surging like a tide. If she could choose, she would choose that she had never been born and had never been born into this world.

She would rather Gu Zongyan's first wife was a mistress than let herself be born. If she could time travel, she would travel back to her mother's belly and strangle herself to death with the umbilical cord.

Gu Yuqing endured it for a long time and used her lifelong friendliness to manage to squeeze out a sentence:

"Why would I want to be in free love? I don't want to be in love."

"That's good." Gu Zongyan narrowed his eyes and softened his tone a little, "You are already a grown-up, so you shouldn't still have some little girl fantasies."
