Chapter 1552: The Hopeless A Dou

Gu Zhihao regretted it; he did not want to be this president, but his regret came a bit late. Now, the arrow was already on the string, and it could not be changed.

Shi Yuke said, "It's too late. You can only move forward. Don't be afraid either; just be more cautious when encountering things, and listen more and speak less."

"Okay, with Mother-in-law there to help me, I won't be afraid!"

Shi Yuke:...

She realized that saying even one word less wouldn't work.

She could only continue, "Don't count on her. The person you should be most on guard against is her. She let you be president just to use you as a tool!"

"No matter what she asks you to do, come back and tell me first. Only do it if I agree, understand? You're so foolish that you'd help people count their money even after being used by them!"

Gu Zhihao hesitated: "That can't be right? We're all family."

"You treat them as family, but they might not necessarily treat you as family. You look at everyone as if they are good people. Last time, regarding the matter with Huo Zhenteng, you still thought he was a good person, but he has always been coveting your recipes. If it weren't for Zichen being sharp, the recipes would be Huo Zhenteng's by now."

He finally shut his mouth, admitting that his wife was right.

Gu Zhihao's inauguration ceremony was not very lively, and not many people attended.

The reason was simple: because he didn't have much fame... no, that's not right, he basically had none. In the Jiangzhou business world, everyone had never even heard of such a person!

A person whom businessmen had never heard of, becoming the Chamber of Commerce President?

Isn't that a joke?

So, many people didn't come.

The people who were here now were only here because the presidents of the major financial groups like the Sheng Family, the Jian Family, and the Yun Family came to show support; otherwise, there would be even fewer people.

Everyone was not buying it. They didn't know where this person surnamed Gu had popped out from. They hadn't even heard of him usually, yet he suddenly got elected as Chamber of Commerce President. But the problem was, there hadn't even been an election; how did he get the position?

People were whispering, and some even started raising objections during the inaugural address.

Someone interrupted his speech and made things difficult: "President, you don't need to say those empty words anymore. Everyone is tired of hearing them. We have one thing we don't understand; we wonder if the President can clear it up for us?"

"Go ahead," Gu Zhihao fell for it as expected.

Ji Yingjie stood up at this moment: "What are you talking about? Any questions can wait until after the speech. Is there any decorum left? You interrupt the President's speech? Who do you think you are?"

The person asking the question retorted: "Although I don't have much fame, I am at least a local from Jiangzhou. How did you manage to sneak into our Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce?"

"My husband is from Jiangzhou, so I also have the qualifications to join the Chamber of Commerce."

"But your husband doesn't hold any position at Ying Tianxia, right..."

Seeing that the topic was being steered off course, Gu Zhihao couldn't continue the speech he had practiced all night. At this moment, he should have turned the tide and interrupted the two people arguing.

However, he had never seen such a scene. The biggest scene he had ever seen was being a Village Chief at the village committee. Now, being made difficult, he was at a loss and didn't know how to respond appropriately.

Jian Yining stood up at this moment: "Shut up, all of you. The President was elected by the Chamber of Commerce; we selected him. Does anyone else have a problem?"

Sheng Zerong and Yun Zhehao echoed him.

Several big shots had come out to state their positions, so of course, it had weight. That person stopped talking, and Ji Yingjie naturally shut up too; she had to let the speech proceed smoothly.

Although some people were still unconvinced, it was at least completed smoothly.

"Oh my god, it was so terrifying. What am I going to do in the future?" Gu Zhihao finally managed to persist until he got off the stage, nearly scared to tears.

Ji Yingjie was dissatisfied: "Useless thing, what is there to be scared of? Starting tomorrow, I will hire teachers for you to teach you how to speak and how to carry yourself, striving to mold you in the shortest time possible."

Of course, this matter had to be told to his wife. Shi Yuke happily agreed: "That's fine, you should learn how to speak and handle things."

Ji Yingjie's efficiency was very high. The next day, a teacher was hired, but after teaching for only one day, the teacher said they wouldn't come back no matter what.

The teacher said he was just a block of wood, impossible to teach, and water couldn't penetrate him.

Ji Yingjie didn't believe it and hired several more teachers in succession, but none of them could teach for more than a week; they all resigned.

Gu Zhihao's inherent traits were too strong. To put it nicely, it was being down-to-earth; to put it bluntly, it was rustic!

This "rusticity" had already penetrated his bones and merged into his blood; it wasn't something that could be changed in a short time.

But Ji Yingjie didn't believe it. Since others said it couldn't be done, she taught him herself.

But soon she realized she was wrong, and wrong in a very outrageous way!

After half a month, Gu Zhihao hadn't made any progress at all and had nearly driven her crazy!

Forget it, let it be. Ji Yingjie gave up completely.

During these days, Gu Zhihao did indeed keep his word. He told his wife everything, no matter how small, and there was nothing out of line. Shi Yuke gradually let down her guard.

She no longer required her husband to report everything to her.

Gu Zhihao became busier and busier. At first, he came home every day, then later said it was too far from home, so he came home every two or three days, and eventually, once a week.

Today was the weekend.

It was the day he was supposed to come home, but when the time came, her husband hadn't returned!

Shi Yuke was afraid something might have happened, so she called her husband's phone, but it was turned off.

She was worried and could only call Ji Yingjie. Ji Yingjie said: "How funny, why are you asking me if you can't find your husband? I don't have the obligation to watch your man for you!"

Shi Yuke said he works for you; if the person is missing, who do I look for if not you?

Ji Yingjie said something that could infuriate a person to death: "Your husband doesn't work properly when he's on the clock, and he leaves faster than anyone else when he's off. Now is not working hours; I have no obligation to help you watch him after work."

Shi Yuke couldn't be bothered to deal with her; there was no reasoning with this woman.

So she hung up the phone and drove to find her husband herself.

She knew her husband's residence in the city, a small Apartment not far from the Chamber of Commerce.

Her husband said it was just a place to stay, no need to rent anything too expensive, saving money for her and the children!

But now, the husband who kept saying he was saving money for her and the children was coming out of the Apartment with another woman and child.

Shi Yuke stood in front of the car, as if struck by lightning!

"Yuke, you, why did you come here?"

Gu Zhihao looked flustered; he clearly hadn't expected his wife to suddenly find him here.

After Shi Yuke reacted, she turned and left.

"Wife, you've misunderstood, listen to me explain..." Gu Zhihao immediately chased after her.

Her husband chased and explained from behind, but Shi Yuke didn't hear a word of what he said; she only knew that she had just seen them come out of the building holding hands.

The child was in the middle, the adults on both sides, looking exactly like a family of three.

Shi Yuke ran forward frantically; she didn't know where she should run to, she only wanted to escape!

The further she ran, the better; it would be best if she could escape this reality.

Tears blurred her vision, but through the misty eyes, she saw a taxi stop in front of her, so she pulled open the door and sat inside.
