Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO

Chapter 147: 147th Wanling Entertainment

Gu’s Headquarters.

Yu Zheng reported to the president about the acquisition plan of the South African subsidiary for local diamond development. Gu Yikun asked, "What has Second Master Gu been up to lately?"

Yu Zheng said, "Second Master Gu drafted a cooperation plan with the petroleum family of Bloemfontein City. The main idea is to build an all-inclusive holiday resort within the scope allowed by the local government. The contract stamps and various approval procedures are all complete, but I had someone verify it; the plan is invalid. They’ve done it flawlessly, deceiving many people at the shareholders’ meeting. Second Master Gu should be trying to use the internal aid within the group to allocate public funds in the name of the company to cover his bottomless pit in underground casinos."

Gu Yikun lightly tapped the table with his long finger, surprised that his uncle would still dare to try such tricks under his nose.

Seeing that the president didn’t speak, Yu Zheng asked, "Should we have someone over there stop Second Master Gu? If he acts recklessly, and the local government starts focusing on Gu’s business dealings, it will take a lot of effort to smooth things over."

Gu Yikun said, "First have the finance approve an increase in the funds for the maritime route. When the time comes, even if Second Master Gu wants to use the liquid funds, he won’t be able to do so at will. When he draws the money for personal use, we’ll catch him red-handed."

Yu Zheng felt a chill in his heart. The president always acted so decisively and ruthlessly.

When the president first took over the Gu Family, Second Master Gu caused many difficulties. He frequently stirred internal conflicts in the Gu Family over the issue of succession, and his actions were so intense that they even endangered the president’s safety.

The president has come a long way, having gone through considerable trials and tribulations.

After taking power, the president painstakingly weeded out stubborn old retainers within the group, then gradually placed his own trained personnel in core business positions. It took years of hard work to finally sit firmly in the position of Gu’s Executive President.

Now, it’s time for payback.

Yu Zheng asked, "How should we handle it when we catch him red-handed?"

Gu Yikun didn’t hesitate at all, "Handle it according to local South African laws. Cheng Ye is familiar with various legal systems, have him find a way to support Second Master Gu, negotiate with the local court, and try to keep him from returning to the country for the next twenty years."

Isn’t that too cruel?

Yu Zheng silently mourned for Cheng Ye. The lawyer team led by Cheng Ye had never lost a case, and now, to send Second Master Gu away, they might ruin their reputation.

Who can disobey the president’s order?

He started breaking out in a cold sweat, "Okay, I’ll arrange for media relations to handle the aftermath."

Second Master Gu is still a member of the Gu Family. If something happens to him, it could implicate the group itself to a large extent. If the follow-up isn’t handled well, it could easily lead to more harm than good.

Gu Yikun said, "Once Second Master Gu is caught, immediately arrange for General Manager Jack to take office, and launch Gu’s local charity fund aid plan. I don’t want to see any negative reports about us in the media."

This is a daunting task, but Yu Zheng’s face showed no sign of difficulty, "Okay, I’ll handle it." His duty is to complete all tasks assigned by the president, using any means necessary.

"Hmm, you may leave."

Gu Yikun started reviewing the documents submitted by various departments. After a while, seeing that Yu Zheng hadn’t left, he asked, "Anything else?"

Yu Zheng suddenly looked a bit hesitant. He hesitated before asking, "President, I want to request leave for tomorrow." He’s been with the Gu Family for many years and has never requested personal leave. This is the first time.

Gu Yikun asked blandly, "Reason?"

"Tomorrow, Mrs. Gu and her colleagues are going to a farm for a gathering, I... I want to stay at the farm." After finishing, Yu Zheng’s earlobes turned noticeably redder.

Just now, he was a calm and decisive man, now he turned into a bashful and honest realist so quickly.

Gu Yikun has always been slow to understand personal relationships, let alone paying attention to the emotional directions of his subordinates. This reason left him puzzled, so he continued, "What does that have to do with you?"

Yu Zheng’s earlobes turned even redder, he said directly, "Mrs. Gu’s classmate, Miss Gong, will also be there. I want to see her."

He didn’t know how to find any excuses, so he directly told the president the reason. Feeling slightly less confident, Yu Zheng wondered if he was crazy to ask for leave for personal emotional reasons.

Just consider him crazy then. Even if the president scolded him for wanting to see her, he accepted it.

Gu Yikun was even more puzzled. Isn’t Gong Xiaoyu entangled with Yue Xiaoyang? Why is Yu Zheng now getting involved too?

Yue Xiaoyang is his good buddy. Logically, he should stand on his buddy’s side, deny Yu Zheng’s leave, and leave him without any opportunity.

But... Yu Zheng has been by his side for many years, and finally opened up from a wooden block to actively pursue someone. Being his trusted assistant, it seemed a bit unkind not to agree.

Gu Yikun nodded, "Granted."

Yu Zheng was ecstatic, "Thank you, President!"

"Don’t thank me. Before the end of the day, I want evidence of Second Master Gu colluding with local officials."

Yu Zheng immediately straightened up, "I’ll get to work right away."

As he walked out of the office, his steps almost floated.

Gu Yikun shook his head while watching, "Another lovesick idiot."

Just then his phone rang, and seeing the screen display "wife," his cold face instantly softened into a gentle smile. He answered, "Wife, did you miss me?"

On the other side, An Junxi couldn’t stand him. She rolled her eyes and went along, "Yes, I missed you so much."

Gu Yikun’s voice was full of laughter, "I’ll pick you up after work."

An Junxi said, "Yikun, Jin Xiu is on holiday starting tomorrow. Let’s take him to the farm with us?" He had mentioned having no plans for tomorrow and would be free to accompany her.

"Sure." With so many people already going, adding one more little tagalong wouldn’t make a difference.

An Junxi walked into the entrance of Gu Building. The security guard wanted to greet her, but she raised her index finger in a "shh" motion, saying, "In half an hour, I’ll give you a surprise."

"What surprise?" Gu Yikun felt a tickle of curiosity.

"Secret, talk later."

An Junxi hung up the phone and pressed the elevator button to the fifth floor. The fifth and sixth floors were occupied by Wanling Entertainment. She had learned from Zhuoxin that Wanling Entertainment’s office space included personal practice rooms, dance practice rooms, restaurants, recording studios, ensemble rooms, gyms, photo studios... and so on. She came this time to inspect the work environment.

Originally, she had no plans to inspect, but mainly because when she was learning about the company’s artists, she noticed a highly-promoted newbie, Han Jiayi. Jiayi’s assistant was someone she was not unfamiliar with, the same woman who bullied her mother in the supermarket, Tang Yue.

An Junxi reviewed the profiles of the company’s artists and staff, feeling it was necessary to make a secret inspection first. Moreover, Zhang Miaoyan had also been working for a few days, and she could check if Miaoyan was behaving.

As she reached the fifth floor, she wanted to visit the restroom first. Unexpectedly, passing by the staircase, she saw Zhang Miaoyan and Han Jiayi in the emergency exit.

Her first reaction was, do they know each other privately?
