eng reminded her that she shouldn’t forget the existence of Eimer.
Chu Yifeng was Wang Cheng's lover, how could he sit back and ignore this matter? Regardless, the strategy of withdrawing investments to make Wang Cheng suffer was not very effective.
On the contrary, it damaged the Zhou Group’s interests.
It wouldn’t be good if it got out that they were misusing their power for personal gain.

“What are you afraid of? I've already thought of excuses, I won’t leave a handle on myself.” Zhou Lin had been suffering because of Wang Cheng.
She also wanted Wang Cheng to feel the taste of defeat.
However, she didn’t expect him to be so fortunate that even without the Zhou Group, he had Eimer standing behind him.

“Anyway, be careful.” Zhao Jiansheng felt that things were not so simple.
When Wang Cheng calmed down, he would very likely still want to inherit the Zhou Group.

At noon, Wang Cheng received a call from Wang Ning'an, who invited him to go to the Gu family's ancestral house for dinner in the evening.
Although Wang Cheng was not Gu Shouzhuo's grandson, he was still family with Papa and Mama Wang and had helped them cut ties with the Wang family.
So Wang Ning'an wanted to introduce him to Gu Shouzhuo, only after Gu Shouzhuo approved, of course.
Wang Cheng was a little curious about this Old Man Gu, because, technically speaking, his elder brother’s situation was quite similar to his own.
He wanted to know if Old Man Gu was treating his parents, elder brother, and sister sincerely, and if his elder brother would be successful in the Gu family, so he agreed.

“By the way, elder brother, would you mind adding a pair of chopsticks?”

Wang Ning'an felt a little helpless when he heard this.
“Even when everyone in the Imperial Capital is paying attention to you, you still dare to brazenly walk together?”

“It's better if we’re exposed, everyone knows already, anyway.
It’s a problem that people think I should keep it a secret in the first place.” Wang Cheng didn’t think much about it.

“Then it's up to you.”

Since he agreed, Wang Cheng happily informed Chu Yifeng of the good news.

However, there were quite a few reporters following Wang Cheng recently.
Everyone wanted to dig out some more explosive news from him.
When they saw that he’d left with the other person involved in the scandal, they instinctively felt, as reporters, that there must be something going on.
So, the reporters followed them.
When they arrived at the classic, ancient Gu house, reporters with better eyesight recognized that it was the home of the master of the Gu family.
Their brain holes suddenly expanded, and they thought that the Gu family master was the new investor that Wang Cheng had found.
Despite their curiosity, they could not get in the ancestral house, and could only wait outside for them to come out.
However, some reporters had already sent the news back to their newspapers, who began to edit the story according to their own imagination.
Since it involved the Gu family, it would definitely be the headline tomorrow.

Gu Shouzhuo, like Zhou Shichang, looked like a kind and amiable old man.
The only difference was that Zhou Shichang exuded a sense of authority, while Gu Shouzhuo was like an ordinary old man with a soft gaze and obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
He seemed to have laughed very often recently, and never once made a wooden face*.

 

[T/N: *stiff, stern expression]

“You are Ning’an's younger brother? You are also a talented person.”

Gu Shouzhuo seemed to be unaware, or uncaring of the rumors surrounding Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng.
He looked at Wang Cheng with eyes full of love.

Wang Cheng smiled and said, “Grandpa Gu has given too much praise.”

Gu Shouzhuo smiled: “No need to be humble, this old man really thinks you are very good, much better than most young people.
It is a blessing for Old Zhou to have a grandson like you.
Of course, it is also a blessing for me to have a grandson like Ning’an.” There seemed to be a bit of pride in his words.

Wang Cheng was relieved when he heard that his eldest brother was taken seriously.

“And you are Old Man Chu’s eldest grandson.
Right, when I meet Old Man Chu, I often hear him mention you.
Very accomplished at a very young age.” Gu Shouzhuo had met with Old Man Chu many times when his company became involved with the state.
Every time, he’d hear him brag about how powerful his eldest grandson was.
It was his first time actually seeing him today, and he was indeed outstanding.

Chu Yifeng smiled lightly, “Old Man Gu has given too much praise.
My grandfather often mentions you as well, and says that you have contributed many achievements to the country.
Let us learn from you.”

His words sounded like flattery, but Gu Shouzhuo was still very happy.

The dinner was well received by the host and guests.
Only afterwards did Wang Ning'an talk business with Wang Cheng.
He’d heard about Yazhi's situation, so he wanted to pay back part of what he’d borrowed from Wang Cheng.
This money was not what he’d earned recently, but what Gu Shouzhuo lent to him.

Wang Cheng didn't want it.
“Big brother, I'm really not short of money now.
I've resolved the situation I had with Yazhi.
Even if the Zhou Group doesn't invest in our films, I still have the Dongwang Group and Eimer.”

“You really don’t need it?” Wang Ning'an stared at him, afraid that refused to take it out of politeness.

“If you don't believe me, ask Boss Chu.
He already invested in a movie and TV series for me.” Wang Cheng immediately pulled Chu Yifeng into the water.

Wang Ning’an didn't need to ask Chu Yifeng, he believed in Wang Cheng.

“That's fine, but if you want to pull in more investments, you can come to me at any time.” Wang Ning'an said.

Wang Cheng nodded.
“I won't forget.
We’re leaving, then.”

Wang Ningan escorted them out before returning to the gates of the ancestral house.
This scene was photographed by reporters who had been squatting outside.
Wang Ning’an had never been on entertainment news before, so the reporters did not know him and decided to report back to their agencies to check his identity.
Wang Ning’an looked back once more in the direction of the car, then went inside.
