Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Son, Don’t Think of Surpassing Your Father (10)

Luck?

She, Gu Nuan, was a deaf person, yet they say she has luck?

No, it could only be said that this indecisive man was not utterly without skill; otherwise, her husband wouldn’t have brought him along last time. This was a man who was calm and steady, exceptionally cool-headed, even perhaps too much so, his cautiousness bordering on excess. In one respect, this might make him seem to miss early opportunities and fall behind others, but on the other hand, there was no doubt he could see more clearly what was unfolding before him than most.

Making money, or doing anything, really does depend on luck. Otherwise, why would there be an ancient saying, "Do your best and let Heaven dictate the outcome." Some people are naturally talented but lack the luck, and end up poor and unsuccessful all their lives, unable to rise above their station.

Yet Li Sitong still said with great caution, "Whether this is truly luck or not, whether you really have such luck, would you be willing to try for yourself?"

Gu Nuan watched as he opened a drawer and tossed out a folder.

The choice was now laid out before both him and her.

If she really had this "luck," this man in front of her would be willing to follow a deaf person like her from now on.

In the chairman’s private car, Uncle Tang was driving while his mind wandered. The scene of his son suddenly appearing in the garage kept replaying in his head.

Uncle Tang couldn’t wrap his head around it. He had looked into it afterward and indeed, his son had bumped into him by accident.

Xiao Jianming undoubtedly noticed his preoccupation and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Chairman," Uncle Tang cleared his throat and said, "Inside the company now, it seems more and more people are becoming aware, hesitating—"

Are they aware of his son’s marriage?

Do they know about his plans to introduce his son to the Yang family’s daughter?

And those in the company who know his son actually married Gu Nuan aren’t in short supply either.

They are all capable individuals within the company.

These people should also sense the change in the air, which is why choosing sides at this time is perilous. Because once someone rises to the top, they will undoubtedly treat those who have helped them extremely well. And for those who are not enemies but have stood by idly, they will be exceedingly cold—there will be no room for promotion at the very least.

Uncle Tang said, "Actually, there’s no need to overthink it. The chairman holds the company’s highest power. Only the chairman can secure their future."

Xiao Jianming lazily smiled at Uncle Tang’s obvious flattery. The dimples at the corners of his mouth were a bit like his son’s, indicating he must have been quite handsome in his youth.

"The future always belongs to the young. The wise can see this. So, what they need to consider is not whether to bet on me but rather on my and my son’s investment vision."

Uncle Tang blinked; Xiao Jianming’s words were quite profound, and he couldn’t quite understand them.

Xiao Jianming had a clear view of his own son. Although people outside always liked to belittle Xiao Yebai, he and his grandmother always believed that Xiao Yebai’s investment vision was unique.

His son’s, Xiao Yebai’s, investments and the things he valued, as far as this old father knew, had never gone wrong.

This time, his son had invested in his own wife.

"If not for her humble background, this woman, truly, is immeasurable." Xiao Jianming admitted that Gu Nuan did have some ability, just like his son, ultimately young. Xiao Jianming’s eyes lazily closed like an old crocodile’s, "After all, a son is a son and can never surpass his father. Otherwise, there would be no such saying as ’like father, like son.’"

Uncle Tang’s eyes shifted as he thought about where they were currently heading, and a chill ran down his spine: No doubt about it, the old ginger is spicier.
