The next day.
Gu Yan leaned against the bed, holding a book titled " A Short History of Humanity " in one hand and a phone in the other.
On the other end of the phone.
She could vaguely hear a middle-aged man speaking quickly and in a hurry.
"Xiaoyan, I heard that you want to break off the engagement? What were you thinking? The engagement is imminent and the invitation has already been sent out, but you want to break it off!”
"The marriage alliance was decided by your great-grandfather's generation. On the one hand, it's for the sake of harmony between the two families. On the other hand, it's also to protect ourselves.”
"Daddy knows that you still like Qingyue in your heart. I'll put down my face and beg your Uncle Su about this. We'll help you and Qingyue matchmake.”
"Or are you short of money recently? Tell me the number and I'll transfer it to you immediately!”
On the other end of the phone.
It was Gu Yan's father, the chairman of the Gu Corporation, Gu Wanshan.
He did not reprimand her.
There was only anxiety and shock.
Gu Yan waited for Gu Wanshan to finish before he slowly said," Dad, I've already decided on this matter.”
"If I'm not wrong, the Smiths will be here soon, right?”
"We'll talk about the details when I get back."
"Hmm?"
Gu Wanshan exclaimed softly, feeling that something was wrong.
How did Xiaoyan know?
Also, Xiao Yan's tone and attitude today made Gu Wanshan feel that his son seemed to have changed into a different person.
Ever since he was young, he had wholeheartedly nurtured Gu Yan as his successor.
In the past twenty years, Gu Wanshan had never forced Gu Yan to do anything.
However, because Gu Yan did not know much about society, he would ask Gu Wanshan what to do in many matters and strictly follow them.
Then, he looked at the scene before him.
Gu Yan's voice was very soft and calm, but there was an unquestionable meaning to it!
Moreover, it was the kind of confidence that could not be questioned!
This had never happened before!
Could it be that Xiaoyan did not break off the engagement in a moment of rashness, but after careful consideration?
Gu Wanshan, who was on the other end of the phone, pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Xiaoyan, since you have your own thoughts now, I won't say anything more.”
"But the engagement is really important! I'll listen to your reasons. At the same time, you have to think about the Gu family.”
"Alright, the Smiths will be here on time at eight o'clock tonight. Remember to come back!”
Finished talking!
Gu Wanshan hung up the phone immediately.
Not only that.
Less than a minute after the call ended, Gu Yan received a transfer.
Ten million yuan.
The sender was Gu Wanshan's private account. The note was: Pocket money.
Gu Yan could not help but smile when he saw it.
He had transmigrated and did not have much affection for his original family. However, he had to admit that Gu Wanshan was indeed a good father.
The richer the family, the better the education for their children, and the more low-key and reserved they were.
It was completely unlike what was written in the little white text. Each and every one of them was like a nouveau riche who had won the lottery, lawless.
But…
He still had to call off the engagement.
In Gu Yan's opinion, Gu Wanshan was still too conservative, or rather, he was too narrow-minded.
In this society, relationships were maintained not by restraints or feelings, but by strength.
When you have enough power in your hands.
Your every word and action will be heard and remembered by others.
People who have a good relationship with you will take the initiative to give more and get closer to you.
Those with poor relationships, even strangers, would take the initiative to give up their own interests in order to get close to you!
This was the best choice!
It was also reality!
No matter who it was, be it the female lead of the original book, the tycoon of Shanghai's capital, or the upper class.
What Gu Yan wanted was for them to take the initiative to please him, not for him to please them!
His next step was to convince Gu Wanshan to slowly take over the entire Gu Corporation and operate it into his own capital empire!
Thinking of this…
Gu Yan took out his phone and dialed a number. He put it on speaker and placed it on the bedside table.
He also stood up, took a black Giorgia coat from the hanger, and began to put it on.
toot...
The call went through very quickly.
"Young Master Gu, what are your orders?" The butler's voice sounded.
"Find me someone and see where he is now.”
"The chairman of Dingsheng Finance, Yang Xuming!”
After saying that.
Gu Yan hung up the phone and walked downstairs.
If he remembered correctly.
Tomorrow night was the annual Heavenly Cauldron Gathering in Shanghai.”
The people gathered here were all tycoons with power and standing in the upper class.
The gathering was very private, and not many people knew about it. The invitation system was strictly applied.
Gu Wanshan and the chairman of the Su Family Organization were originally qualified to attend, but they were rejected because of the engagement between the two families.
Therefore, Gu Yan could only shift his gaze and look at the other people who had invitations!
He had to participate in the Tianding Assembly.
This was because there would be three extremely crucial figures in this gathering.
One was the Yang family, which was also a hidden family and had a good relationship with the Li family.
The Young Master of the Yang Family, Yang Chen.
There was also another female lead in the original book, the chairman of Fantasy Blue Fashion, the vice president of Tianding Assembly, and the powerful woman who was once known as the "Flower of Shanghai"-Yao Dong!
The last person was Wang Zilong, the chairman of Tenglong Real Estate, who had almost monopolized the real estate industry in Shanghai and enjoyed the reputation of being a smooth talker!
Gu Yan wanted to scheme against the Li family and maximize the effect of the copper plate!
But in his plan, it would be best if the Li Family didn't make a move before Ye Tian returned to the country, because that was the only way to maximize the benefits.
In this way, the Yang family, who had a good relationship with the Li family, became the breakthrough point!
Yao Dong was an extremely special female lead in the original book. Gu Yan knew too many of her secrets. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't make a move?
As for Wang Zilong…
This was a tool.
The tool that Gu Yan used to pull strings with Yao Dong and plot against Yang Chen!
If he wanted to use this tool...
How to get close to him was the problem that Gu Yan had to solve at the moment.
The answer was simple!
That was the invitation to the Tianding Assembly!
This was also the reason why Gu Yan asked the butler to find out about that person.
The chairman of Dingsheng Finance, Yang Xuming!
The holder of the invitation letter!
He didn't pick him because Gu Yan had a grudge against Yang Xuming.
It was because it was too easy for Gu Yan to get Yang Xuming to work for him.
He only needed one sentence.
Yang Xuming would honestly hand over the invitation letter with both hands, or even…
He was deeply grateful to Gu Yan and regarded him as his benefactor!!
As for Gu Yan, he hid behind the scenes, manipulating everything and obtaining all the benefits.
……
Gu Yan thought as he walked downstairs.
However, when he saw everything that was happening in front of him.
He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
