Chapter 389 : Green Plum Meets Wine 40 (1/2)
Shi Sheng handed over the materials gathered by Sheng Xia’s parents to the country. The government reacted quickly and specially commended Sheng Shi Group, as well as Shi Sheng herself.
Sheng Shi Group developed into a multinational corporation within the span of a few years. Since Gu Yan was in the e-commerce business, Shi Sheng didn’t enter that market.
Shen Jiayin’s company made pretty good progress, but with Gu Yan’s mammoth of a company present, it didn’t manage to cause any waves and ended up being acquired by Gu Yan.
The times soon changed and the internet became prevalent. Information was no longer as inaccessible now that news could travel the globe in but a few minutes.
“CEO Gu, may I ask you why you decided to switch to the e-commerce business back when it was still the golden age of the property market?”
On a screen mounted above a square, a host was currently interviewing the leader of the e-commerce business, Gu Yan, who was wearing a suit.
It seemed like time hadn’t left behind many marks on his face for he was as handsome as always.
He smiled towards the camera. “Because someone once told me that e-commerce would be the way of the future, so I followed their advice.”
“Wah!” The host exaggerated his reaction. “Who had so much foresight to predict how things would develop?”
“All of you are very familiar with this person too.”
“Oh? Who is it? CEO Gu, you simply must tell me!” The host asked excitedly.
Gu Yan played along in building up the suspense by speaking slowly, “Sheng Shi Group’s CEO, Sheng Xia.”
“Heavens! It really is her! But she must’ve been really young when you made your decision—what convinced you to follow her advice?”
Gu Yan smiled fittingly. “Because she’s my daughter ah! Of course I believe her.”
“Oh my gawd…” The host was stunned by this news, so it took him awhile to get back to his senses. But since this interview was centred on Gu Yan, the host didn’t dare to ask further and soon drew attention to other areas.
……
News that Sheng Shi Group’s CEO was the daughter of the leading e-commerce company’s CEO, Gu Yan, soon seemed to sprout wings and fly.
It caused a lot of surprise. Meanwhile, the online gossipers had already imagined up an entire storyline involving the intricacies of the elite class.
“It’s a real shame these people don’t write novels.” Shi Sheng refreshed the page. “This creativity will definitely make them popular.”
Yu Jiu had only just ended a call. He looked at Shi Sheng’s computer screen, his lips twitching. “Dear, your imagination is quite good too.”
The last reply to the thread was made by her account…
“I’m helping to develop their intelligence.” Shi Sheng made it sound proper.
“Intelligence will do better with fitness. Dear, how about we do some exercise?” Yu Jiu tossed his phone away and gave her a seductive wink.
Shi Sheng didn’t want to look at him any longer, so she looked away and pointed outside. “Get out. Stop disturbing me.”
‘Just what is this fellow thinking all day? Does his mind not contain anything besides pa pa?’
Yu Jiu was about to say something when the phone rang.
“Dad? Eat together? Oh…lemme ask my wifey.” Yu Jiu looked at Shi Sheng. “Dear, dad wants us to go home to eat together. Do you want to go?”
Shi Sheng could pretty much guess the reason behind Yu Xingyun inviting them home for a meal. But she didn’t know whether or not Yu Jiu could accept it…
During the whole journey there, she was torn between whether or not she should give him a heads-up.
“Dear, why’re you taking so long?” Yu Jiu opened the car door. “Do you need my kisses before you’re willing to get out? Sure, c’mere…”
Shi Sheng, “…”
‘Fuck! This idiot!’
Gu Yan was already present when they entered. He wore an apron as he busied himself with preparing their meal while Yu Xingyun helped him out.
Yu Xingyun washed his hands and exited the kitchen, his eyes meeting Shi Sheng’s. For once, he didn’t yell at Yu Jiu.
“Son…come with me to the study for a bit.”
