Chapter 791: Press Conference

Hearing that they were going to the press hall, Gu Yanzheng's old face turned red.

Most of the reporters waiting in the press hall now were there because he released the news yesterday that there would be a board meeting today, and used the media to release the news that his eldest brother was critically ill, so they rushed over early in the morning.

They wanted to catch a big news story about the change of the chairman of the Gu Group. In this way, Gu Yanzheng could also use the media's attention to make his name known.

Gu Yanzheng originally wanted them to report his great victory at the board meeting. In that way, after noon, the media could announce to the outside world that the position of chairman of the Gu Group had changed hands and he had ascended to the next chairman.

But he didn't expect that everything he did would eventually fulfill his eldest brother.

He could even imagine that once his eldest brother appeared at the press conference in high spirits, all the media reporters who thought he was about to die would explode on the spot!

And after he announced that he had obtained 51% of the voting rights, the media reporters should be shocked beyond measure, right?

With his thoughts flying in his mind, he sighed secretly.

Perhaps, this is his destiny.

Originally, his ability and means were worse than his eldest brother's. He wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect that there would be a young master of the Ye family by his eldest brother's side, and what was even more magical was that he recovered from a serious illness overnight.

It seems that the only thing suitable for him is to honestly be a foil by his side.

Actually, Gu Yanzheng is a smart man.

He considers many things very comprehensively, and he is only one step away from success.

It's a pity that he finally met Ye Chen stirring up the wind and clouds behind his back.

If there were no Ye Chen, no matter how Gu Yanzhong strategized, dragging a dying body, he would not be able to fight against his and Gu Yangang's alliance, and even the safety of his wife and daughter would not be guaranteed in the future.

However, Gu Yanzheng's ability to see the situation clearly and immediately give up the original overall plan to stop the loss shows that he is at least a character.

If it were the kind of person who couldn't see the situation clearly and still put up a desperate fight when death was imminent, he would soon be completely cold.

Gu Yanzhong, at this time, was full of gratitude to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's appearance not only saved his life but also saved his wife and daughter, as well as his career.

In his opinion, this favor could not be repaid in his entire life, and he could only go all out for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he took Ye Chen's hand and whispered to him, "Chen'er, if you don't want to return to the Ye family in the future, come to the Gu Group. Uncle will arrange a position of vice-chairman for you. I only have one daughter, Nannan. In the future, all of this will be yours!"

What Gu Yanzhong said was not polite words, but from the bottom of his heart.

He felt that his daughter was going to marry Ye Chen, and Ye Chen was his son-in-law. If he didn't return to the Ye family, then the Gu family would be his in the future.

Although he was open-minded, he also felt that if his daughter married Ye Chen, she should be a good virtuous helper, and Ye Chen and his father Ye Changying were his benefactors. As long as Ye Chen could give his daughter a lifetime of happiness, he was willing to give all his assets as his daughter's dowry.

Ye Chen naturally knew what he meant. He really regarded him as his future son-in-law, or even half a son.

But he couldn't agree to this kind of thing, so he said seriously, "Uncle Gu, I don't have any plans to return to Yan Jing yet. Let me consider this matter."

Gu Yanzhong didn't insist, nodded and said, "In short, don't be an outsider with Uncle at any time or in any situation. My home is your home!"

Ye Chen nodded solemnly.

……

Because a press conference was to be held, and Ye Chen didn't want to be on camera, Ye Chen was arranged by Gu Yanzhong's secretary to sit in the audience as an ordinary guest.

All cameras were aimed at the rostrum, so he didn't have to worry about being on TV.

When Ye Chen sat down in the audience, the entire press hall was already overcrowded.

Major media outlets sent reporters one after another, setting up long guns and short cannons here, waiting for the Gu Group to release major news.

At this moment, the outside world did not know the news of Gu Yanzhong's recovery.

Everyone thought that Gu Yanzhong was terminally ill and might not be able to attend the board meeting today.

However, they looked forward to Gu Yanzhong's appearance.

Because, as media people, they like to grasp some topics that can attract attention.

So they hoped to capture the scene of Gu Yanzhong's heroic twilight, and then add some sensational text to it. This would be a proper front-page news story.

Some people had even thought of the headline for the news.

For example, "The End of an Era", or "Lian Po is Old, Can the New Chairman of the Gu Group Turn the Tide".

Now they were just waiting for the terminally ill Gu Yanzhong to walk in staggeringly from the entrance of the conference venue, or even be pushed in in a wheelchair.

Just then, the staff at the scene picked up the microphone and said, "Please be quiet, everyone. Our chairman will be here soon!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone shifted their attention to the entrance of the venue.

Cameras and video cameras had already found the angle and put the entire entrance into the viewfinder.

Everyone was waiting for the moment the door opened and Gu Yanzhong appeared.

Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside in.

The first one to walk in was Gu Yanzhong's secretary.

The second one to walk in was Gu Yangang.

The third one was Gu Yanzheng.

The moment they saw Gu Yanzheng, the sound of shutters at the scene had already begun to intensify.

Because everyone knew that he was the second master of the Gu family and the undisputed successor to the position of chairman of the Gu Group.

Gu Yanzhong was critically ill, so he was the new chairman who would take over the trillion-dollar business empire from Gu Yanzhong's hands.

However, no one expected that behind Gu Yanzheng, they didn't see Gu Yanzhong's shadow, but a middle-aged man who was nearly ten years younger than Gu Yanzheng, with a glowing face, tall and strong.

The media at the scene couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation, "Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before?"

It's no wonder they couldn't recognize Gu Yanzhong immediately.

Over the years, Gu Yanzhong's image in front of the media had become increasingly old.

Moreover, after Gu Yanzhong became seriously ill, the media had secretly photographed him in overseas hospitals. He was indeed very haggard. At the age of fifty, he looked at least sixty.

Therefore, suddenly seeing Gu Yanzhong, who looked like he was forty, no one could adapt to this dramatic contrast, and media reporters are not relatives, so it is normal that they couldn't recognize him immediately.

After Gu Yanzhong walked in, someone among the media reporters exclaimed, "Damn! The one walking at the end is really Chairman Gu Yanzhong!"

After his exclamation, someone immediately questioned, "Nonsense! Gu Yanzhong is about to hang up, okay? The person at the end looks like he's only forty. Can it be the same person?"

That reporter said firmly, "Ten years ago, I interviewed Chairman Gu. At that time, he was exactly the same as he is now! His appearance, demeanor, and behavior all match the memory!" ===== CHAPTER 792 =====
