Chapter 60: Turning the Tide!

While the streamer was still introducing the items, personnel from Lingtai Group had already arrived one after another; President Wang slipped his phone under the table, put on his Bluetooth earpiece, and let his secretary handle the communication—his mind had long since drifted to the livestream room.

"President Wang, being able to cooperate with our Lingtai this time is also an honor for Lingtai; we hope there will be more opportunities for collaboration in the future…"

Lingtai's person in charge, Little President Tai, spoke in official platitudes, his tone quite smug as he said: "Choosing us was the right decision for your company—far better than choosing Gu Group!"

Just at that moment, the secretary came in to report again: "President Wang, President Gu of Gu Group has arrived…"

Hearing this, Little President Tai smiled smugly: "Looks like President Gu still won't give up!"

He assumed the cooperation was already a done deal, so he didn't rush to sign the contract with President Wang, but got up and went out first. Seeing the man standing in the hallway, he sneered: "President Gu is truly persistent—knowing full well this piece of land already belongs to our Lingtai Group, you still refuse to let go."

Gu Yechen stood in the hallway, his expression calm and composed; he did not show displeasure at Little President Tai's provocations, and on his cold, proud, steady face there was only an unfathomable depth.

"Little President Tai, the contract hasn't been signed yet, so you haven't gotten that piece of land. Getting smug this early—don't have some last-minute problem pop up."

"That won't require President Gu's concern. This cooperation has no problems whatsoever; the preliminary letter of intent has already been signed. Now we're just waiting for President Wang's final signature!"

He turned to look at President Wang in the conference room, his smile growing thicker, the smugness tinged with a few shades of arrogance: "Since President Gu happens to be here today, he can witness with his own eyes the formal partnership between our Lingtai Group and President Wang!"

After competing with Gu Group for so long, finally being able to thoroughly outdo Gu Group this time, Little President Tai smiled even more wantonly, and even took the initiative to invite: "President Gu, come in and witness our signing ceremony. This rare opportunity won't come often in the future!"

"Because from now on, no matter how many partnerships President Gu has, they will all ultimately belong to our Lingtai Group!"

Gu Yechen smiled faintly and said nothing, still not angered by his provocations, and even stepped into the conference room on his own accord.

President Wang had just been watching the livestream and was startled when he saw Gu Yechen come in, then heard Little President Tai say: "President Gu just happens to be unwilling to give up, always thinking there's some change in today's cooperation. I thought, let's just invite our President Gu to witness today's signing ceremony in person."

Although President Wang was somewhat displeased, thinking Little President Tai was being too showy.

But since the contract had already been decided to go to Lingtai Group, he had nothing to say. He merely greeted Gu Yechen politely, intending to quickly sign the contract.

To avoid any further trouble later.

But just then, the latest commentary from the livestream room came through his earpiece: "This Crystal Orchid—I have already decided to hand it over to President Gu of Gu Group…"

President Wang was so shocked his hand trembled; he glanced at the calm-faced Gu Yechen, then hurriedly looked down at his phone.

On the livestream screen, that pot of Crystal Orchid with its absolutely superb, nearly perfect appearance was already being displayed before the camera.

He was overjoyed, and gestured to Little President Tai: "Hold on a moment!"

Then he hurriedly typed and sent: 【Are you sure it's President Gu of Gu Group?】

"That's right, I've already communicated with President Gu."

"…" President Wang swallowed, turned his head to look at Gu Yechen, and asked: "President Gu, do you have a way to obtain the Crystal Orchid?"

Gu Yechen countered: "I do. Is there a problem?"

Hearing these words, Little President Tai immediately frowned, a bad premonition rising in him.

"Crystal Orchid? Impossible. If you could produce one, you would have already…"

But President Wang had already completely cast Little President Tai aside, rushed up to Gu Yechen, and enthusiastically shook his hand: "President Gu, you should have said so earlier! You've had me running around for so long!"

Little President Tai looked utterly shocked: "President Wang, what do you mean? Are you trying to breach the contract?"

"Little President Tai, our contract hasn't been signed yet, so of course there's no question of breaching it…"

"But you've already accepted my orchid…"

"If Little President Tai wants it back, take it!" In President Wang's view, this Crystal Orchid was far more valuable, and he liked it much more.

Most importantly…

The orchids that mysterious streamer had were not limited to just this one pot!

Perhaps she had other good things there. Although he didn't know who she was, since this streamer was willing to give such a precious orchid to Gu Yechen, it showed their relationship was no ordinary one…

This powerful connection absolutely had to be clung to!

In almost an instant, the flower-obsessed President Wang made his decision: "Come, come, President Gu, let's discuss the signing of this piece of land…"

Gu Yechen cast a casual sidelong glance at Little President Tai: "What a coincidence—Little President Tai, you happen to be on site today as well, and can witness with your own eyes our Gu Group securing this important piece of land."

Little President Tai's previously arrogant and smug expression had already turned as ugly as if he'd eaten shit, his features savage, his features twisted.

But no matter how furious he was, there was nothing he could do to turn things around now.

President Wang had already been captivated by that pot of Crystal Orchid; hearing that the Crystal Orchid would go to Gu Yechen, he didn't want to waste any more time communicating with Lingtai Group.

After all, Lingtai Group really was no match for the current Gu Group; if not for that precious orchid before… he wouldn't have chosen Lingtai.

Now that there was an even more precious orchid, his choice became all the clearer.

In the evening, Gu Yechen and Gu Jue returned home, both with pleased expressions, and walked straight up to Gu Wenyan.

The usually stern-faced Gu Jue even patted her shoulder: "Thanks to you this time."

"It was all for the family company, it's what I should do."

"This younger sister of yours is really something!" he praised again.

Ye Yiwen also followed curiously to ask: "What happened?"

After learning what had happened, she was also very impressed by this daughter.

Even Gu Yefeng, who had just returned home, was discussing the matter with his father and couldn't help being somewhat surprised.

After all, their Gu Group had fought a beautiful turnaround battle, and the most crucial factor was… Gu Wenyan.

Gu Jue couldn't help saying again: "Where did you learn all these planting tricks? Looks like from now on, our Gu Family will have to rely on you a lot more!"

"Just picked it up in the countryside, nothing impressive. Mainly you just need patience."

Gu Wenyan spoke lightly, but everyone knew this was no simple matter, and all attention was focused on her.

At this moment, Gu Mianmian sat in the corner of the dining table, ignored once again.
