Chapter 239: Just call me brother in the future

Li Xiaofeng was already broad-bodied and had high blood pressure. Hearing Hao Peng's words, he almost fainted from anger.

He thought this matter had ended without a problem because the test failed. After all, when the chairman entrusted it to him, he also said, "If the test fails, reject the other party directly, and there is no need to report subsequent matters," so he didn't pay attention to what happened later.

As a result, he didn't expect that Hao Peng hadn't even seen the other party at all.

How could one person poke such a big hole?

"Chairman, I'm sorry." Hao Peng gathered his courage to take all the responsibility: "It's all my fault, it's my poor handling. I hope you can give me another chance. I will go to contact the other party immediately to make an appointment again."

After all, this matter didn't have much to do with Supervisor Li, and Hao Peng took the main responsibility. And Supervisor Li was his own brother-in-law, so he couldn't implicate Supervisor Li because of his own mistakes.

As long as he wasn't affected, even if he was punished, he would definitely be able to come back up in the future. That's what Hao Peng thought.

Li Xiaofeng also said quickly when he heard this: "Chairman, I also have responsibility for this matter. If I had asked one more question later, maybe today's matter wouldn't have happened."

He couldn't let Hao Peng take all the responsibility alone. Each of them gets fifty boards, maybe both could be preserved. That's what Li Xiaofeng thought.

It's a pity that what they thought didn't matter; what Gu Shangyou thought was what mattered.

Hearing the two people's words, Gu Shangyou's heart couldn't be described as angry anymore, but furious.

If Shen Ci's project hadn't found a second partner, there would still be room for maneuver, but the other party had already reached a strategic cooperation with Jiang Group. Then who would bear Gu Group's loss?

Gu Shangyou looked at the two coldly: "You have no chance, because they have already reached a cooperation with Jiang Group. Otherwise, why do you think I would be angry?"

"How big an impact a cutting-edge technology has on artificial intelligence products, you know better than me. The project was lost elsewhere, who will bear the loss suffered by Gu Group?"

"Will you bear it? Can you bear it!"

The last sentence Gu Shangyou roared, and a roar also vented a

With a single sentence delivering the final ultimatum, Li Xiaofeng and Hao Penghui were both dumbfounded; in the end, neither of them was protected.

The severity of the matter had already far exceeded the scope of what they could bear. The losses this incident brought to the Gu family were beyond imagination; simply firing them could already be considered Gu Shangyou's mercy.

On the other side, Shen Ci had just finished handling matters at the industrial park and returned to her car when her phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar phone number, but the area code was for Longcheng. Shen Ci hesitated for a moment before sliding to the right to answer: "Hello."

"Is this Shen Ci?"

"It is. Who is this?"

The person on the other end clearly paused for a moment before saying, "I am Uncle Gu."

Shen Ci was slightly stunned, but immediately reacted, her tone becoming enthusiastic: "Uncle Gu, why are you suddenly calling me?"

Gu Shangyou's anger had not yet fully subsided, but at this moment, he had no choice but to humbly apologize to Shen Ci: "It's not exactly sudden. Shen Ci, Uncle wants to apologize to you, to apologize for the Gu family's arrogance before."

A great man knows when to bend and when to stretch. Although Gu Shangyou held a high position, he would not deny his own mistakes for the sake of face.

This matter was the Gu family's fault.

Once Shen Ci heard Gu Shangyou's words, she understood, and for the moment, she only chuckled: "Uncle Gu, you are being too serious. I am not angry with you, and I know that was not your intention."

"But I must apologize to you for this." Gu Shangyou said earnestly: "I only found out about this today, but regardless, the Gu family's mistake is my mistake, and I have already dismissed the employee responsible for this matter."

Shen Ci had no objections to this, because if it were her own employee who had made such a mistake, she would not have been soft-handed either.

"Can I invite you to have a meal at my home again?"

Gu Shangyou changed the subject and said suddenly.

Shen Ci was slightly stunned and subconsciously asked back: "Uh, today?"

"Is that possible?"

"I'm sorry Uncle Gu, today won't work, I have an appointment tonight. Can tomorrow night work?"

"Of course." Gu Shangyou agreed immediately: "Then tomorrow, still at home, is that alright?"

"Alright, then I will be there on time tomorrow night."

After hanging up, Shen Ci smiled helplessly. She could feel the sincerity in Uncle Gu's apology, and the fact that he invited her to eat at his home again was likely still for the sake of the project.

She certainly wouldn't vent her anger on the Gu family just because of one or two blind employees. The project had already signed contracts with nearly ten companies, so adding the Gu family wouldn't be a problem. Taking a step back, for the sake of Gu Lianxing, she wouldn't make things difficult for the Gu family anyway.

Driving to the business club where she was to have dinner with Brother Xizi today, she didn't expect to run into him right in the underground garage.

He was wearing a black Zhongshan suit, still wearing a pair of black sunglasses, followed by four underlings in suits, full of presence.

"A-Ci!"

"Brother Xizi!"

The two spoke at the same time upon meeting. Shen Ci stepped forward first: "The road was very congested, I thought I would be late."

Yan Wenxi still had no expression, only saying softly: "No rush."

After speaking, he frowned: "You guys, greet her."

Before Shen Ci could react, the four big men behind Brother Xizi bowed their heads and said in unison: "Sister Ci!"

Shen Ci smiled and nodded, entering the elevator with Yan Wenxi.

"A-Ci, there is someone who wants to see you today. By rights, I never arrange such things, but this person went through many connections to find a friend of mine I get along with well to beg me, so I reluctantly put together this gathering today."

As Yan Wenxi spoke, he turned his head to look at Shen Ci and asked: "This gathering does indeed have a purpose, A-Ci won't be angry with me, will you?"

"Brother Xizi, don't say that. No matter who is to be met today, I came to have a meal with you. Actually, after returning from the Spring Festival, I should have been the one to take the initiative to invite you." Shen Ci said.

Regarding Yan Wenxi, Shen Ci knew he was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Because he had previously spared no cost and didn't say a word before sending people to help her solve her problems, she had already accepted him as a brother in her heart.

Shen Ci's words were very pleasing to Yan Wenxi's ears. The elevator door opened, and Yan Wenxi suddenly said: "In the future, just call me Brother. 'Brother Xizi' is what people 'in the underworld' call me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci smiled and nodded: "Understood, Brother."

Arriving at the private room, the waiter at the door slowly pushed it open. Shen Ci and Yan Wenxi walked in one after the other. People were already seated at the round table inside, and they all stood up instinctively when they saw Yan Wenxi enter.

And Shen Ci was stunned when she took a look.

Isn't this Zhang Heng and his father?

I've been exhausted these past few days, I want to cry.
