Chapter 357: Little girl

"A man has hands and feet, what can't he do? Yet he chooses to freeload. It's simply a disgrace to us men."

"I also don't understand. Tang Zong is usually so shrewd and handles everything by the book without exception. Why is she so indulgent toward him and lets him do whatever he wants?"

"How important is the task of going to Y Country to attend a private auction? Any slight mistake could cause the group to suffer heavy losses. How could it be handed over to this inexperienced pretty boy?"

"Sigh, no matter how shrewd and capable Tang Zong is, she's still a woman. After being coaxed for a few days by this kind of pretty boy who is good at sweet talk, she probably lost her mind."

"Sigh, I said it, the successor of the Tang family should still be a man. Changing to a woman in the position is unreliable. Not to mention that such a large family business might be taken advantage of by outsiders in the future, just look at Tang Zong's current health..." a senior executive couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, you must not talk nonsense. No matter what, this is still in the company. If Tang Zong hears these words, do you still want to continue mixing in the group?" someone around immediately reminded.

That senior executive said sullenly: "Hmph, I'm also worried for Tang Zong. This trip to Y Country should have been President Gu's, but Tang Zong insisted on letting the parachuted pretty boy replace President Gu's position. If something happens, it will be lively."

"I don't understand Tang Zong's aesthetics. Clearly, President Gu looks a hundred times better than that pretty boy Xu Tian, and just based on President Gu's strength, if he were with Tang Zong, it would definitely be a strong-strong combination. As a result, she let an unknown pretty boy snatch the opportunity. I really feel it's not worth it for President Gu."

"Didn't you see the pretty boy's attitude toward President Gu at the meeting today? It was a yin-yang weird look. I guess he treats President Gu as his rival."

"I also noticed. Don't look at how polite he is on the surface; I feel he is actually unconvinced by President Gu. Maybe this task of going to Y Country was also deliberately snatched by him from President Gu's hands. Otherwise, our group has so many tasks every month, why did he pick this one? Isn't it just because he can't stand to see President Gu doing well."

"He only knows how to use these under-the-table methods. Does such a person deserve to be the Tang family's son-in-law?"

The senior executives belittled Xu Tian as worthless while standing up for Gu Beicheng.

And Gu Beicheng himself left the company directly after the meeting and returned to the Gu family. He took a book and sat in the courtyard for an entire afternoon, as if he really had nothing to do, leisurely enjoying his vacation.

The servants of the Gu family saw Gu Beicheng like this and no one dared to go up and disturb him.

But Qiao Mu took the initiative to come to Gu Beicheng to stand up for him: "Gu Xiansheng, this isn't a way to go on like this. That pretty boy is getting more and more excessive. Before, he interfered with the internal assessment of the Tang family's secret guards, and now he has actually entered the group and snatched your credit. If this continues, I'm afraid he will ride on your head!"

Qiao Mu said quite indignantly: "I have secretly investigated this kid Xu Tian. He has absolutely no achievements in antiques, and even his history grades in university were mediocre. It can be said that he is simply not qualified for this task of going to Y Country."

"And you have been influenced by the Gu family since you were a child and have always had quite a bit of research on antique porcelain. This time, for the trip to Y Country, you have done a lot of homework and preparation, and even went to ask many expert consultants for advice. If this task is just snatched away by that pretty boy Xu Tian, wouldn't your previous hard work be in vain?"

"Who goes to Y Country is not something I can decide." Gu Beicheng put down his book and said indifferently.

"Gu Xiansheng!" Qiao Mu saw that Gu Beicheng was still unmoved and became a bit anxious, "Even if we can't stop Xu Tian from going to Y Country, we can use some means to make him mess things up over there. In this way..."

Before Qiao Mu could continue, Gu Beicheng interrupted him: "No, without my order, you are not allowed to make decisions on your own."

Qiao Mu became even more anxious upon hearing this: "Gu Xiansheng, then why don't you give an order? Are you just going to let this pretty boy Xu Tian step on your head and ignore it? You have a good temper and cultivation, but I can't stand that kid showing off in front of you."

It's no wonder Qiao Mu was anxious. Ever since the last secret guard trial, Eleven and Su Jinchen, who followed Xu Tian, took all the advantages, and as Gu Beicheng's status was threatened, the people around him also had to restrain their sharpness.

The reason Qiao Mu chose to follow Gu Beicheng was to climb up. Now, seeing that his promotion was hopeless and Gu Beicheng was so Buddhist and didn't confront Xu Tian head-on, how could he not be anxious.

"Confused thing."

At this moment, a gloomy voice sounded from the courtyard gate. Jiang Yan, the general manager of the branch company, stood at the gate.

Jiang Yan stared at Qiao Mu with contempt: "Do you think Y Country is so easy to go to? Before this task came down, Gu Xiansheng had already done sufficient preparation and investigation. Even if Xu Tian successfully completes the task, most of the credit should belong to Gu Xiansheng."

"This kid Xu Tian is at best an errand boy. Could it be that all the credit will be counted on his head? The senior executives in the group are all human spirits; how could they not see through it and really think it's Xu Tian who has the ability."

Qiao Mu's anxious expression eased upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he said: "General Manager Jiang is right. That kid was parachuted into the group and snatched Gu Xiansheng's credit. Other senior executives will definitely have opinions. Therefore, whether he succeeds or fails in going to Y Country this time, it will ruin his reputation within the group. No one will be convinced or support a parachuted straw bag who snatches credit."

A cold smile hooked onto the corner of Jiang Yan's lips.

"So President Gu doesn't need to lower his status to confront Xu Tian at all."

Gu Beicheng raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yan and ordered: "You will go to Y Country with the expert team this time. You don't need me to tell you what to do then, right?"

Jiang Yan immediately guaranteed upon hearing this: "Gu Xiansheng, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."

On the day of departure for Y Country, Xu Tian, Su Jinchen, and others arrived at the airport early to wait for their flight.

The situation in Y Country was very complex, and it was also a country where holding firearms was legal. Therefore, because Tang Bingyan was worried about Xu Tian, she sent more than a dozen secret guards to accompany him.

Therefore, in addition to Jiang Yan and the experts within the group, there was also the elite secret guard squad led by secret guard commander Su Jinchen and first team captain Eleven.

Because Xu Tian didn't want to leave any handle for people in the group, he didn't take the Tang family's private jet but chose to take a regular flight to Y Country airport.

The broadcast notified passengers waiting for the flight to board. After going through the ticket checking procedures, everyone took the shuttle bus to board the plane.

After Xu Tian and his group got on the plane, they discovered that there was a middle-aged couple and a seven or eight-year-old little girl next to their seats.

The little girl was wearing a pink princess dress, with a pearl necklace on her wrist and neck, paired with a red bow hair clip, looking very cute. ===== CHAPTER 358 =====
