Chapter 378: Chapter 265: Accident (1)_2

But she had no money, being a modest doctor in a community hospital, she couldn’t save up such a sum.

Neither of them slept much that night, lying in bed, they talked a lot.

About the future, an unknown, but from every step taken now, one can foresee the glimmer of the future.

Tang Xi had always felt that her future was destined to be a community doctor on this small island, earning a few thousand a month for a lifetime.

But now, it seems... there’s a new path opening up.

She had a renewed hope for the future.

The jewelry design contest held by the Shangguan Group was incredibly popular, with Shen Qinglin’s presence being a significant draw. In addition, the Shangguan Group also invited several editors from internationally renowned fashion magazines, and internationally famous models for jewelry exhibition.

There were also several highly popular male and female stars.

A few of the top socialites in the circle.

Even many high society elites who couldn’t get invitations were willing to invest in the jewelry contest, offering money in exchange for a spot.

All in all, Shangguan Nanxian made a very stable move.

He completely overshadowed the Gao Family.

At this moment, Gao Chengxiong of the Gao Family was also worried.

Gao Yufeng came hurriedly, "Dad, what should we do? The benefits from this event were supposed to be ours, but now with Shangguan Nanxian’s jewelry design contest and the invitation of celebrities, the popularity has shifted."

Gao Chengxiong, frowning at the slight panic of his son, said, "What’s the rush? I don’t believe that Shangguan Nanxian, with just a small jewelry design contest, can overshadow our Gao Family. It’s just a temporary spotlight. The main event is still us!"

His son was disappointing, getting flustered over such a trifle.

Where had his usual ruthless ways in handling matters gone?

"No matter how capable Shangguan Nanxian is, she is still just a woman. A woman leading the Shangguan Group, what’s so great about that? We’ve invested nearly ten billion this time, and we can’t allow a single slip-up!"

Gao Chengxiong sat on the sofa, his face growing stern, and after a silence of more than ten seconds, he then spoke.

"We can’t let the Shangguan Family’s jewelry design contest proceed smoothly; we must do something about it."

Gao Yufeng probed indirectly, "But if things get stirred up, I’m afraid Shangguan Nanxian’s first suspicion will fall on us. Our family may have issues with the Shangguan Family, but they’ve always been behind the scenes. If we cause trouble at their jewelry contest, it would be an open offense..."

Gao Chengxiong looked at Gao Yufeng approvingly, "Not bad, you’ve considered this point. Then what do you think we should do?"

Feeling his father’s approval, Gao Yufeng got slightly carried away, "Dad, in my opinion, let’s just hand this matter over to the Lu Family. The Lu Family is also in the jewelry business, and they are the real competitors of the Shangguan Family. Even if something goes wrong with Shangguan Family’s jewelry contest, it would have nothing to do with us, after all, our main profits don’t stem from jewelry."

"Getting the Lu Family to fight with the Shangguan Family is a good idea. However, it’s quite clear that the two families are currently on good terms. I’m afraid it might be difficult to make the Shangguan Group suspect the Lu Family," Gao Chengxiong surmised.

Gao Yufeng had a venomous scheme in mind, "I can deal with Lu Shili’s close assistant, Lu Feng. I’ve got some dirt on him. He once lost ten million in an underground gambling house, and I covered for him. It’s time to make use of him."

Gao Chengxiong looked at his son, being well aware of his son’s methods and character. If it weren’t for him controlling things in the background, the Gao Group would have fallen long ago with someone like Gao Yufeng in charge.

He had intended to bring Gao Jianlin into the Gao Group as well, feeling indebted to this son and Meng Yuanlan, but Gao Jianlin lacked the will for business and had refused a marriage alliance, resulting in a stalemate.

"Yufeng, make sure you handle this matter with caution. Even though our power is not afraid of the Shangguan Family, openly breaking with them isn’t good for us either. If we can direct the trouble elsewhere, that would be the best," Gao Chengxiong advised, "If you handle this well, it will signal your full maturity, and I can confidently hand over complete control of the Gao Group to you, allowing you to venture forth and carve out your own achievements."

After all, the Shangguan Group took this jewelry design contest very seriously, investing considerable effort and resources. They had even invited many high-profile figures, including Shen Qinglin. Should any incident occur, the Shangguan Group would indeed pay a hefty price and suffer significant setbacks.
