Main Character:
Shen Yao
"General Manager Shen, this is the company's report for last quarter."
"Mm, I'll handle it later. You can go first."
"Yes."
The office door opened and closed again. Shen Yao looked at the thick stack of documents on the desk, took a deep breath, and buried herself in hard work.
Slacking off feels good for a moment, but working hard is truly exhausting.
While sighing, Shen Yao thought to herself that she couldn't keep avoiding hard work next time; although idling was comfortable, the accumulated business wouldn't be easy to handle.
Shen Yao rubbed her wrist while sighing, then handled the work with a long face. Once she got off work and went home in the evening, she could only keep working overtime.
The leisurely Gu Jingrun watched Shen Yao busy at work and only said that fortune's wheel turns, and no one can escape it.
"The newly inaugurated president is indeed determined to reform medical issues, but Gu Group has already audited itself once. The group has professional risk assessors. In this round, the Zhou family will suffer far more impact than the Gu family."
Gu Jingrun tidied his cuffs unhurriedly, and while at it, told Shen Yao the news he knew.
Shen Yao rubbed her wrist, which had been typing on the keyboard all day. "The Zhou family once contacted me privately."
"Regarding those cooperations both sides negotiated before, they hope to increase investment."
Gu Jingrun turned his head to look at Shen Yao. "You agreed?"
Shen Yao leaned back, clasping her hands behind her head to make herself more comfortable. "It's beneficial to Perfect Company, so of course we should cooperate for mutual benefit."
The slogan of medical reform has been shouted for so long. The new president's team wants to achieve results, and several financial consortiums hiding behind want to rush in to eat meat and drink soup. They definitely won't let this matter end easily.
The Zhou family is not like the Gu Family. It can be said that Shan De Medical is the Zhou family's pillar industry.
Once Shan De Medical suffers too much external impact, the probability of the Zhou family's downfall will increase significantly.
"I can say this is helping my uncles tide over the crisis together. Mom will definitely praise me for being sensible and considerate when she finds out."
Shen Yao patted herself on the back, and while at it, put forward a high-sounding reason.
Gu Jingrun just quietly listened to Shen Yao boast, while not forgetting to coax his plump son who was full and satisfied, babbling and playing by himself.
Shen Yao:...
Seeing that Gu Jingrun gave her no face at all, Shen Yao immediately pulled him to act coquettishly.
Only after Gu Jingrun said a string of "good" did he let Shen Yao raise her hand and spare him.
However, the words the two spoke also revealed a lot of information on the side.
If Shen Yao still couldn't seize this opportunity to strengthen herself, she would truly be brainless.
Anyway, no matter how medical reform changes now, it won't change the track she is in.
What is there to wait for? Continue to develop in a low-key manner and quickly occupy the market.
There aren't many super-first-tier cities in all of H Country, but there are many first-tier, second-tier, and quasi-first-tier ones below them.
The medical business of the Zhou family and the Gu family has a high degree of overlap. The Gu family had previously audited itself internally, and the Zhou family had also done so but not as well as the Gu family.
This led to most of the pressure from the medical reform mentioned by the new president falling on Shan De Medical.
Cooperating with Shen Yao to increase investment was nothing more than the Zhou family wanting to make more money, trying to add more water sources to their own basket as much as possible, for fear that the water would flow too fast and the basket would dry up.
And the Zhou family doing this was definitely not a loss for Shen Yao. There are ways to play with little capital, and there are pleasures with much capital.
Shen Yao used the Zhou family's money to do her own business. The speed of one city per month in the past instantly soared to three cities in two months or even more.
Perfect Company swelled visibly, assets expanded several times, had close contact with various banks, and the treasures stored in Shen Yao's space continued to flow out externally.
However, after doing the whole thing, Shen Yao was happy. Gold, silver, and jewels were exchanged for the industrial empire she wanted. These would all count toward her task completion rate in the future, simply addictive.
After the marriage of Gu Jingzhi and Su Yingying, the Gu Family finally had a few years of peace.
Until Gu Jingmu graduated from university and started various blind dates under Zhou Min Hui's arrangement, did the Gu Family Old House become lively again.
At this time, the little chubby Gu Xuan Yu was already five years old, growing with a round head, round brain, and round belly.
Below him were a pair of twin younger brother and sister who had just turned two years old, Gu Xuan Xu and Gu Xuan Yan.
In recent years, Shen Yao became increasingly busy. Her beauty business was booming, and she had even begun to probe toward the health and wellness field most loved by the elderly.
However, this path was not as easy as the beauty business, and there was also a Wei Family collision ahead.
Shen Yao's new business progressed quite slowly. Not only did she frequently hit walls, but she was also squeezed by others joining hands.
Fortunately, the cooperation with the Zhou family and the Gu family in previous years gave her confidence.
The new business advanced steadily despite bumps and stumbles. Successfully seizing the market was only a matter of time.
"Big Brother, why isn't Mommy back yet? I miss Mommy so much."
Gu Family Old House
Gu Xuan Yan pouted her little mouth. She had a head of beautiful short hair, with the ends slightly curled, wrapping around her whole small round face.
"Mommy is on a business trip. Daddy said Mommy will be back tomorrow."
"Big Brother, why isn't Daddy back yet? I miss Daddy so much."
Gu Xuan Xu looked at the doorway with big eyes, unable to help but crane his neck to look.
These two little people, one was a mommy's girl, and one was a daddy's boy.
Nowadays, Shen Yao and Gu Jingrun were not at the Old House; they had all gone to work in other places, which made the children feel extremely uncomfortable.
Gu Xuan Yu had received instructions from his parents early in the morning. After finishing his family homework every day, he also had to coax his younger brother and sister. It could be said he was painstaking and extremely hardworking.
Today was the same. Gu Xuan Yu made a face, holding the small hands of Gu Xuan Xu and Gu Xuan Yan.
"Dad and Mom will be back in a couple of days; Brother will take you to find Grandmother."
Everyone at home is busy; only a few elders stay home leisurely every day.
Gu Xuan Xu and Gu Xuan Yan heard they were going to find Grandmother, cheered in excitement, and once again tossed the Dad and Mom they had been longing for behind their heads.
No way, children's brain capacity has always been insufficient; otherwise Shen Yao and Gu Jingrun would have to leave one person at home to take care of them no matter what.
Three little people trotted with small steps, making pattering sounds as they ran out of the room, followed by the servants responsible for looking after them.
"Grandmother" "Grandmother"
Zhou Min Hui sat in the hall scolding Jiang Peiyi while doing one good deed a day.
Hearing the children call her, she immediately changed her expression, turned around, and hugged Gu Xuan Xu and Gu Xuan Yan into her arms, calling them her treasures.
For a moment, the whole hall was filled with laughter, and the previous oppression seemed not to exist.
Jiang Peiyi:...
Jiang Peiyi's face was full of bitterness, with the indignant Gu Xuan Ning beside her.
Sitting opposite the mother and daughter was Su Yingying, holding her belly; having already given birth to her second child, she was about to give birth to her third.
Compared to a few years ago, she looked much rounder, but having always stayed at the old residence in comfort, Su Yingying's skin was well maintained.
Glancing disdainfully at Jiang Peiyi and her daughter, Su Yingying smiled and greeted the little-looking Gu Xuan Yu.
"Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, Eldest Sister Xuan Ning"
Gu Xuan Yu lowered his head and greeted them honestly, being praised by Su Yingying again and again as cute and obedient.
Jiang Peiyi couldn't get a word in, appearing awkward; Gu Xuan Ning had always disliked the few younger siblings of her third uncle's family, her small face cold, and she turned around and ran away with pattering steps.
Jiang Peiyi saw the child run away, her heart thumped, and she silently cried out that it was terrible.
Sure enough, before she could smooth things over for her daughter on this side, she heard Su Yingying bringing up Gu Xuan Ning's upbringing again.
Jiang Peiyi wished she could use eye-knives to gouge the other party; Su Yingying talked too much everywhere; her Xuan Ning was very good.
Zhou Min Hui frowned slightly, signaling Su Yingying to watch her words; after all, she was her own granddaughter, even if she wasn't particularly fond of her.
"Second Brother's wife, you're also seven months pregnant this time; what did the doctor say?"
You still need to take care of your own body; Xuan Lin and Xuan Kai both need you to take care of them."
Zhou Min Hui considered herself not a grandmother who preferred sons over daughters; besides, Su Yingying wasn't without sons, so why was she always taking medicine and straining her belly all day?
In less than five years, giving birth to three times; those who didn't know would think their Gu Family was old-fashioned.
Su Yingying's face stiffened slightly at Zhou Min Hui's reminder, thinking to herself, you with one son more know what? Was she willing to keep giving birth? It wasn't for the Gu Family's future assets.
Gu Jingzhi performed well at Gu Group; Su Yingying definitely couldn't let the benefits and cheap advantages go to outsiders.
Smiling and saying she knew on the surface, Su Yingying completely didn't take Zhou Min Hui's words to heart, turning back to continue nourishing herself and continue giving birth.
There weren't many people at the Gu Family Old House; Gu Xuan Yu, besides daily lessons, stayed with his younger siblings, and occasionally met a few cousins at home, but he also made his attitude very proper.
To be honest, he didn't really like it, because he could feel others' hostility toward him.
It was that kind of feeling that made one's whole body uncomfortable, wishing to never interact again.
"That's a bit difficult; it might even require waiting until you grow up, living under the same roof, seeing each other without raising or lowering your head."
When Shen Yao came back, she faced her own child's complaints; even Gu Xuan Yu didn't understand why a few cousins had such great malice toward him.
Gu Xuan Yu:... he was still a child
Shen Yao pulled Gu Xuan Yu over and quietly told him some inside matters of the Gu Family.
She didn't hide things from him just because Gu Xuan Yu was young, nor did she speak vaguely just because he was young.
"So, stay at the old residence and just learn your skills well; the rest doesn't matter."
Before Gu Xuan Yu and the others grew up, Gu Group was being maintained by Gu Jingrun and others.
Nowadays Gu Bingcheng was old and had to go to the hospital every few days.
Gu Mengbai, who returned from abroad, also performed very actively; although the wife he married was from a middle-class family, it also increased his chips.
As for Gu Mengqing's branch, no need to say; Gu Jingzhe could be said to be the hope of the whole family, able to move the largest force.
Unlike Gu Mengyan's branch, which looked noble and had foundation, but actually had four sons, each taking a different path, and even Gu Mengyan had no clear indication of whom he favored.
Thinking of these troublesome matters, Shen Yao hurriedly shook her head in her heart.
Forget it; it wasn't something she could manage; she'd better focus on her own career and deal with the Wei Family blocking the way first.
