Chapter 126 A real man can bend and stretch
Seeing her husband leave angrily and her son looking unhappy, Lin Jiahui sighed, "Jingzhou, don't blame your father for speaking so harshly to you. He is doing this for your own good."
"Mom, I know."
"It's good that you know. Before your father met me, he also liked a girl very much. At that time, he also thought that he would never fall in love with anyone else. But you see, your father eventually fell in love with me."
"Your father and I have been married for almost thirty years. You and Jingyue should be able to see whether we are happy or not, and whether we love each other or not."
"Jingzhou, I'm telling you this because there are many good girls in the world, and the one you meet first is often not the right one. So, don't always focus on the one you can't get or the one you lost."
Seeing her son trapped in love, Lin Jiahui felt very distressed and did not hesitate to use her husband's past relationship experience as an example to persuade him.
However, Gu Jingzhou was already deeply involved in it.
Even if he is performing a one-man show now.
But he has become addicted to singing and finds it difficult to quit.
Lin Jiahui's advice was like the gentle breeze blowing through willow catkins, and it couldn't shake his mind at all.
After he perfunctorily accompanied her to finish the meal, he went upstairs to his room.
After Su Aizhen finished her work in the kitchen, she knocked on his door with a box of things and said, "Master, are you in the room? I have something to talk to you about."
"Aunt Zhen, what do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Jingzhou opened the door and asked politely.
"Master, this box of things was given to me by Xiaoxiao. She told me to pass it on to you if you come back."
"Oh, okay, thank you Aunt Zhen." Gu Jingzhou took the box from Su Aizhen's hand and guessed in his heart that this might not be something pleasant.
"Master, you're welcome. It's nothing. I'll go down first."
"Wait, Aunt Zhen, there is something I want to ask you."
"Hey, Master, ask."
Gu Jingzhou paused, still holding onto a glimmer of hope, and asked, "Aunt Zhen, are Xiaoxiao and that Ji guy really a couple?"
"Yeah." Su Aizhen nodded somewhat uncomfortably. "Xiaoxiao said it was true. I saw it and I also felt that they should be true."
Ever since she knew that Gu Jingzhou liked her niece and proposed to her but was rejected, she felt some sympathy for him as a young master.
She has been a servant in the Gu family for so many years, and Gu Jingzhou has always respected her.
She used to think it was because he was well-educated, and she worked hard and was older.
But now she felt that perhaps it was more because he liked her niece, so he loved her and respected her as a servant so much.
Anyway, no matter which one it is, she sincerely hopes that this young master who has always respected her can live a happy life and marry a young lady who suits his taste as soon as possible.
Stop thinking about her niece.
Hearing Su Aizhen's affirmative answer, Gu Jingzhou's eyes dimmed, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Aunt Zhen. You can go down."
"Hey, Master, don't think too much."
"Yeah." Gu Jingzhou nodded reluctantly and closed the door casually.
Then he walked to the table and slowly opened the box. As expected, there was nothing pleasant inside.
Instead, they were several gifts that were returned, with even the packaging boxes still looking brand new.
Su Xiaoxiao put all the birthday gifts he had given her in the past five years, as well as the pink diamond he had used to propose to her, in this box and returned them to him.
What a determined woman!
Gu Jingzhou gently took out the sparkling pink diamond, held it in his hand, and looked at it with disappointment.
If I had bought this ring and proposed to Su Xiaoxiao even two months in advance, everything would have been different.
Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back.
The annoyance and regret in Gu Jingzhou's heart were like a vast ocean.
However, he did not let himself indulge in this sad mood for too long. He then put the ring and the gifts into the bedside table, turned around with a determined look and went to the study.
Now, Ji Xingyuan’s true identity has been confirmed and we know how powerful he is.
He has also returned to Haicheng, and he should build up his career as soon as possible and strive to become a man who can be on par with this man in his career, or even surpass him.
Otherwise, he felt that he would not have the confidence to appear in front of Su Xiaoxiao in the future.
He couldn't let Su Xiaoxiao look down on him in his career and think that he was far inferior to Ji Xingyuan.
After arriving at the study, Gu Jingzhou immediately turned on the computer to check the Ji Group, Ji Xingyuan, and the Beishuiwan Resort project.
The rest are easy to check.
However, it is difficult to find information about Ji Xingyuan on the Internet. It seems that he is deliberately hiding his personal information.
The more he tried to hide, the more unfathomable Gu Jingzhou felt he was, and the stronger his desire to return to Gu's company and continue to serve as president became.
Only by continuing to serve as the president of Gu Group can he make use of this identity and Gu Group's broad platform to make great strides in the business world.
In the future, I will compete with Ji Xingyuan.
So, just as his father said, his most important task now is to win the cooperation project of Beishuiwan Resort as a stepping stone to regain control of Gu's company.
A real man can bend and stretch. Moreover, cooperation is a win-win situation and there is nothing shameful about it.
Like a soldier who had regained his spirit after a defeat, Gu Jingzhou adjusted his mentality and discarded the negative feeling in his heart.
Decided to take the cooperation rights of this project from Ji Xingyuan.
After making up his mind, he drove to the northern suburbs early the next morning to inspect the topography and surrounding environment of Beishuiwan Resort.
Then, he summoned the same ambition and drive as when he first became the president of Gu Group, and worked hard for two days and two nights.
He personally drafted a unique and creative project plan, which he revised carefully until he was satisfied with it.
On a late winter morning, the cold wind blowing on my face was a bit biting.
After having breakfast at home, Gu Jingzhou opened the car window without turning on the heater and drove all the way to Ji Group in the cold wind that helped him keep his mind clear and rational.
After parking the car, he walked into the Ji Building with steady and calm steps, holding the project plan.
"Hello, I'm looking for your President Ji."
"Excuse me sir, do you have an appointment with our General Manager Ji?" The receptionist asked politely with a sweet smile.
"No, so please help me make an appointment with your President Ji." Gu Jingzhou put aside his airs and said humbly, "Just say that Gu Jingzhou, the former president of Gu Corporation, wants to discuss cooperation with him about Beishuiwan Resort."
"Oh, okay. Mr. Gu, please wait a moment. I'll call the president's office to make an appointment for you."
"Okay, thank you."
The front desk staff at Ji's were of good quality and efficient. They immediately helped Gu Jingzhou call the president's office on the 17th floor, and Zheng Xiang answered the call.
As soon as Zheng Xiang heard Gu Jingzhou's name, he immediately reported to Ji Xingyuan and asked for instructions.
Ji Xingyuan wasn't too surprised. With a deep gaze and a faint smile, he calmly instructed, "Just make an appointment for him. Come to my office tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 to discuss."
"Yes, Third Master, I'll inform the front desk right away."
When Zheng Xiang left the president's office, he had some doubts in his heart.
The Third Master deliberately teased Gu Jingzhou, probably to dampen his enthusiasm and test his determination to cooperate with him.
