Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Don’t Want to be the Old Crown Prince_1

"You made a bet?"

Xiao Chen asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I bet that I could win you over, and she said it was impossible.

It turns out, your wife knows you best after all.

I lost, so I let her listen to my new song that hasn’t been released yet.

But Mengmeng, don’t spread the word, otherwise I could be held legally responsible."

Yang Liying said with a wry smile.

"Don’t worry, I’ll listen to it secretly by myself."

Jiang Meng said with a smile.

It seemed that after some time of interaction, the relationship between these two women had warmed up quickly.

"By the way, Sister Liying, we’re about to hold a new car launch event in Shencheng City, why don’t you join in the fun?"

Jiang Meng looked towards Yang Liying and said.

"Sure!"

Yang Liying nodded and said, "Just give me a call when the time comes, and I’ll be right over."

"Thanks!"

Jiang Meng said with a smile.

Having Yang Liying, a big star, at the event would certainly attract a lot of people.

Although Xiao Chen had said not to hire stars, stumbling upon one didn’t count as an invitation.

"Alright then, you two enjoy yourselves, I need to rest, my manager is rushing me."

Yang Liying said goodbye to Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng with a smile and even exchanged numbers with Jiang Meng before she left.

Looking at Jiang Meng’s innocent smile, Xiao Chen felt that his trip to Shencheng City was truly worthwhile.

After playing for a while longer, Ma Wencheng called to say that he had booked a private room at the Shencheng City Grand Hotel.

He invited Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng to come over for dinner.

"I am actually quite hungry, let’s go and meet our heroes,"

Xiao Chen said with a smile, changed clothes with Jiang Meng, and drove to the Shencheng City Grand Hotel.

The Shencheng City Grand Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in Shencheng City, where big companies commonly entertain guests.

The owner of the hotel is the Gao Family of Shencheng City.

That is, Gao Ming’s family clan.

At this moment, inside the Shencheng City Grand Hotel, Gao Ming’s brother, Gao Guang, was hosting a banquet.

Gao Ming had married into the Huo Family as a son-in-law.

As a result, the Gao Family essentially only had one heir now, and that was Gao Guang.

It must be said that Gao Guang did have abilities, though the influence of the Gao Family amounted to nothing beyond Shencheng City.

But in Shencheng City, the Gao Family was still considered a powerful and esteemed clan.

And Gao Guang was doing quite well, having become the head of the marketing department of Shencheng City Group in his thirties.

He was responsible for market development and expansion.

The Shencheng City Group itself was a diversified group, involved in business sectors including dining, entertainment, and automobiles.

However, the Shencheng City Group did not engage in research and development; they were merely responsible for production.

They were a joint venture partner of a foreign car brand.

This was similar to Chris Automobile Company.

The taxis running on the streets of Shencheng City were mostly branded by the joint venture of the Shencheng City Group.

Even Chris Automobile and Guangfu Prefecture Automobile, two enterprises that were consistently among the top ten in sales, couldn’t match this.

Half of this success was due to Gao Guang’s efforts.

So, the next Family Head of the Gao Family was more or less expected to be Gao Guang.

As his father Gao Chong was getting older, the likelihood of Gao Guang stepping into the spotlight was becoming ever greater.

Today, those whom Gao Guang was treating at the banquet were the bosses of enterprises related to Shencheng Automobile and some of his friends.

"Come on, everyone, give me face, we’re not stopping until we’re drunk!"

Gao Guang raised his glass and said loudly.

The guests stood up one after another to toast.

In Shencheng City, there truly weren’t many who dared to disrespect Gao Guang.

After all, the Gao Family was originally well-off.

Furthermore, Gao Ming had married into the even more powerful Huo Family.

His status within the Huo Family was not too shabby, either.

Offending Gao Guang meant that one wished no longer to mix in Shencheng City.

"President Gao, when will you be promoted to the CEO of Shencheng City Group? I will send you a generous gift!"

"That’s right, there seemed to be rumors recently that your father was preparing to step down.

The future of the Gao Family will depend on you."

Gao Guang laughed, "Soon! You know my father, cautious and careful, so he’s not reassured to let go all at once.

He gave me a task, neither big nor small. If the sales of Shencheng City Automobile do not decrease by more than three percentage points within this year, then I’ve passed the test."

"That’s too easy for you, from what we’ve seen. In just six months, the sales of Shencheng City Automobile have not only shown no signs of decreasing but have actually increased by five percentage points.

President Gao is young and talented."

"Exactly, what might be a challenge for others is a piece of cake for President Gao.

Just remember, when you take that CEO position at Shencheng City Group, you should also take care of us friends!"

The crowd, one after the other, practically exalted Gao Guang to the heavens.

Of course, not all of what they said was merely flattery.

In fact, Gao Guang’s business abilities were there. He wasn’t necessarily exceptional, but he was much stronger than the average person in their thirties.

"Then, I’ll take that as your blessing," Gao Guang said with a light smile, his face full of confidence. "I not only want to pass, but I also plan to increase sales by another five percentage points in the second half of the year.

That way, I believe my father won’t have anything to say."

Failure?

He never considered that he might fail.

He simply felt that the standard set by his father was too low; he wanted to do better.

For instance, a company called Xinmeng Automobile recently came to Shencheng City to hold a launch event.

What a joke, weren’t they trying to grab market share?

He could never agree to that.

Therefore, he had sought out Ghost Leg Security Company to send the other party a warning, telling them to roll out of Shencheng City.

He might not care about other places, but for Shencheng City, he absolutely would not allow anyone to enter at will.

Even Chris Automobile Company and Guangfu Prefecture Automobile were not permitted, let alone the lesser Xinmeng Group?

He did all this to complete his father’s task.

He had spent a fortune on planning, and he had even won over many friends within the industry.

If a problem arose, wouldn’t all that money be wasted?

More importantly, he wouldn’t be able to assume the CEO position at Shencheng City Group.

Not to mention becoming the Family Head.

How could that be acceptable?

He was already in his thirties; he didn’t want to become an old crown prince!

He wanted to fully take charge of the Gao Family and Shencheng City Group.

The only thing left now was to drive Xinmeng Group out of Shencheng City and solidify the current results.

Then, find a way to expand into some external markets.

That should pretty much secure his position.

"Your father is just too cautious. In my opinion, under President Gao Guang’s leadership, Shencheng City Group can truly embark on a path of even greater glory,

instead of just hiding away in a corner of Shencheng City.

Shencheng City might be prosperous, but after all, the place is too small."

"That’s right, our President Gao is one of Shencheng’s top ten outstanding progressive youths. Among the young people, he is absolutely distinguished.

If even he can’t make it work, then no one else can."

Butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths, and their praise was always pleasant to hear.

Moreover, for someone who was already quite conceited, it was all the more enjoyable.

"Hahaha, if I succeed, you all will be the contributors!"

Gao Guang burst into laughter.

Suddenly, someone walked into the private room from outside and whispered a few words into Gao Guang’s ear.

Instantly, Gao Guang’s face darkened.

"A bunch of useless fools—they took my money but failed to do the job, delaying my mission. I want Ghost Leg Security Company to disappear from Shencheng City!"

Gao Guang snorted coldly, raging furiously in his heart.
