Chapter 161: The Bai Family's Heiress

Gu Yechen was very curious about what surprise Gu Wenyan had mentioned, but Gu Wenyan had chosen to keep it to herself for now, so she wouldn't tell him just yet.

The more she kept it secret, the more impatient he became to know just how surprising this so-called surprise really was.

What kind of thing could even qualify as a surprise?

Given the current situation, at the very least this surprise had something to do with the Gu Family; otherwise... Gu Wenyan wouldn't have said it like that.

Something related to the Gu Family — at present, the most important matter was the cooperation the Gu Group wanted to pursue with Bai Shi Group, which would truly bring tremendous help to the Gu Group and be something that could surprise them.

But what kind of connection did Gu Wenyan have with Bai Shi Group?

Gu Yechen had never known just how many secrets his younger sister carried, but in recent days, the surprises she had given her older brothers had already been more than enough.

One more astonishing than the last, so now... since Gu Wenyan had already spoken so directly, it proved she was very confident.

Confident that this surprise would, in the days to come, surely bring them a tremendous difference...

"Then I'll look forward to it."

"Mm."

Gu Wenyan only said this much; as for what came next, she wouldn't tell them for the time being.

Over the next few days, the Gu Group was also holding related discussions about this matter, determined to come up with the best proposal to earn Bai Shi Group's approval.

Only this way could they make Bai Shi Group believe that cooperating with the Gu Group was of profitable value, and choose them among the many companies.

Otherwise, with so many companies now wanting to cooperate with Bai Shi Group, there was no reason they had to choose the Gu Group.

The director of the Marketing Department couldn't wait to ask Gu Mianmian: "Mianmian, do you have any news? What are they considering internally? If we know which way they're leaning, then we can tailor our approach..."

Although the Gu Group had its own strategy, they still needed some inside information before they could adjust it according to the situation.

Gu Wenyan sat to the side, quietly listening to Gu Mianmian report on the current situation.

Gu Mianmian's eyes were full of smugness. This was finally her moment to show her ability!

For Gu Mianmian, a situation like this was sure to satisfy her — this was exactly what she most wanted others to see: her difference.

Gu Mianmian had always hoped to surpass Gu Wenyan, to have more attention than her in this company, to make everyone believe that she was the Gu family's true heiress!

Without Gu Wenyan, she would have had it so much better!

Ever since Gu Wenyan came back and had performed better than her in every way before, Gu Mianmian had been jealous.

She had been trying every possible way to surpass Gu Wenyan, and now in this meeting, the Marketing Department director hadn't even asked Gu Wenyan any questions, because no one thought she would have a way to solve the problems they currently faced.

So only she could help the company... she was the crucial figure in the entire company!

Thinking this, Gu Mianmian grew especially smug, and hurriedly told the Marketing Department director: "Don't worry, I've already gotten in touch with this person who holds a very important position inside Bai Shi Group. She'll be returning to Jingcheng in the next few days, and I'll find time to meet her in person and discuss the relevant matters face to face."

"I'll definitely have the specific proposal finished before our contract negotiations with Bai Shi Group!"

"Good! With you saying this, Mianmian, I can rest easy. If our Marketing Department can play a great role this time, you'll be the biggest contributor! I hope that with the help you provide, we won't have to worry about our future development..."

After the meeting ended, some employees couldn't wait to gather around Gu Mianmian and flatter her: "You're amazing! You actually know someone with such a special position in Bai Shi Group?"

"Right, who do you know? It can't be some high-level figure at Bai Shi Group, can it? If it's a high-level person, that's really something!"

"Exactly, Mianmian, your connections are incredible — so enviable!"

"That's right, truly worthy of being the Eldest Miss — just different from the rest of us... when will I ever be able to do what you do?"

Whatever they were saying about being envious, how sincere they actually were was anyone's guess. Gu Wenyan didn't care at all, so she was about to walk right past them?

Gu Mianmian called out to her: "Sister, have you thought it through? It can't just be us putting in the effort — shouldn't you be doing something at this point too?"

Gu Wenyan raised an eyebrow: "What should I do? You're already so capable now — you can solve this problem anyway, so I don't need to worry about it."

After Gu Wenyan finished speaking, Gu Mianmian's expression changed for a moment, but she quickly calmed down: "Fine, since that's the case, then let me show you, Sister, how I'm going to help the company solve this problem..."

Gu Wenyan nodded and said: "I wish you success."

Meanwhile, at the Bo Family, Bao Mu was hosting a banquet for a very important guest. Because Bao Sihan was at the group, he hadn't been paying attention to anything happening at home and didn't know exactly what was going on.

Bao Mu entertaining a guest was only a small matter — at least as far as Bao Sihan was concerned, no matter how important this guest might be, if it had nothing to do with him, then it was his mother's own business, and he wouldn't interfere too much.

So the butler hadn't reported this news to Bao Sihan in time either.

After Bao Mu made sure all the preparations were in place, she called Lan Tian to go welcome the guest together.

Lan Tian asked curiously: "Madam, who is this person you're welcoming? Could it be..."

Bao Mu smiled, a hint of anticipation surfacing in her eyes: "Of course. Besides her, who else do you think I'd treat with such importance?"

Bao Mu confirmed Lan Tian's guess.

Thinking of the person Bao Mu had spoken of — the one she believed was a perfect match for Bao Sihan...

Lan Tian hadn't known before just how remarkable this young lady from the Bai family was, but she had a premonition that her appearance might stir up an unexpected storm...

She even worried that if this person truly took away the position that belonged to Gu Wenyan in the future... Lan Tian didn't know if she could still maintain her own advantage as she had in the past.

But no matter what, nothing could be changed now.

Bao Mu brought Lan Tian to the door, and before long, a black Rolls-Royce soon drove toward them.

Inside sat the daughter of Bai Shi Group's chairman — who had been studying and living abroad all this time — the Bai family's daughter, Bai Ran.
