374: Chapter 374 Mr.

Lin, do you want to divorce President Mu?

At the top floor of the Moongaze Building, in the Mu Group’s meeting room.

As Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, had revealed her hidden capital to Gu Lanzi, the powerful deputy leader, Gu Lanzi had twice expressed to Mu Shanshan her determination to lend the thirty-five billion yuan key enterprise support fund to Mu Group.

Gu Lanzi’s decision, though seemingly arbitrary, was actually the result of a woman’s careful consideration throughout the majority of the day.

Gu Lanzi had been leading the establishment of the key enterprise support fund for some time now.

Numerous business heads in Zhonghai City had approached Gu Lanzi, hoping to secure even a portion of the key enterprise support fund.

However, to this day, Gu Lanzi had yet to lend out even a single penny from the key enterprise support fund.

Within the Zhonghai City Council, there had been some whispers about Gu Lanzi, due to the key enterprise support fund.

Had it not been for the unexpected downfall of the Fang Family, who had recently been the most likely to receive the key enterprise support fund, Gu Lanzi would likely be facing even greater internal pressure, orchestrated behind the scenes by Fang Zhentao.

Even so, she might also find herself facing scrutiny from the Disciplinary Committee.

The thirty-five billion yuan key enterprise support fund was such a vast amount that even if Gu Lanzi had no personal motives, she could not prevent the speculation of those with ulterior motives.

Even before today, Gu Lanzi had repeatedly regretted taking the lead in establishing this key enterprise support fund in private moments.

Although her intention had been to stimulate the economic development of Zhonghai City with the fund, she had inadvertently put herself in the line of fire.

With good intentions, Gu Lanzi also had her moments of doubt.

However, Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, had surprised her so much that it reminded her of her original intent for establishing the key enterprise support fund.

Gu Lanzi had always valued Mu Shanshan’s business acumen highly.

Of course, if she herself hadn’t been unexpectedly outmaneuvered by Lin Fei, Gu Lanzi would have regarded Mu Shanshan even more highly.

With the Fang Family’s collapse and Mu Group being their primary competitor, Gu Lanzi had a strong need to form an alliance with them.

This was also why Gu Lanzi had promised Mu Shanshan the ten billion yuan from the key enterprise support fund during their previous private dining room meeting.

Mu Shanshan had only been in charge of Mu Group for two years, but Mu Group’s performance had already multiplied several times over.

Gu Lanzi had thought that this was the full extent of Mu Shanshan’s capabilities.

Little did she know, compared to her business acumen, Mu Shanshan’s talent for investment was also quite formidable.

When she learned of Mu Shanshan’s special status as a board member of thirty-six promising start-up companies, a voice in Gu Lanzi’s mind kept reminding her.

The thirty-five billion yuan key enterprise support fund she had spearheaded was prepared for Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO!

The investment returns from Mu Shanshan’s investments in the thirty-six start-up companies were secondary to Gu Lanzi as the deputy leader with real power.

The business enhancements and even possible synergies that the thirty-six start-up companies could bring to Mu Group allowed Gu Lanzi to have a more definite understanding of Mu Shanshan’s business operational capabilities.

Now, although the thirty-six start-up companies are still small in scale, once they grow to maturity, Mu Group is bound to experience a surge period!

Able to hold her position as deputy leader in Zhonghai City, Gu Lanzi naturally trusted her judgment and discernment.

Compared to the thirty-five billion yuan key enterprise support fund, Mu Group’s current scale indeed falls short.

However, the value that Mu Group could bring to the economic growth rate of Zhonghai City after smoothly getting through the surge period will be far greater than the thirty-five billion yuan key enterprise support fund that Gu Lanzi holds at this moment.

Providing embers for charcoal will always surpass adding flowers to brocade.

Gu Lanzi, the de facto deputy leader of Zhonghai City, how could she not understand this principle.

“Thank you for your affirmation, Leader Gu.

I will definitely ensure that the 3.5 billion yuan in key enterprise support funds will exhibit their rightful value!”

Regardless of the political achievements Gu Lanzi might receive from Mu Group’s rapid growth and the unprecedented economic acceleration it would bring to Zhonghai, for Mu Shanshan in this very moment, Gu Lanzi’s promise of 3.5 billion yuan for key enterprise support was the greatest affirmation of both her personally and Mu Group!

It’s easy to find money, but hard to find someone who truly understands you!

Since ancient times, the relationship between politics and business has been quite complex.

It’s rare to have an enlightened city leader like Gu Lanzi who places great importance on this.

Compared to the 3.5 billion yuan for key enterprise support, Gu Lanzi was willing to spend an entire afternoon and even late at night coming back to the company with her, listening to her original intention for investing in startup companies.

Listening to her introducing the business planning for the development and growth of Mu Group.

Even someone as aloof as Mu Shanshan felt somewhat of a mentor and friend relationship with Gu Lanzi, the powerful deputy leader.

“I am willing to believe that under your leadership, Miss Mu, Mu Group will grow to a point that surprises everyone.”

Watching the camaraderie between Gu Lanzi, the powerful deputy leader, and Mu Shanshan, the formidable president-wife, Lin Fei, who had been silent for most of the day and feeling somewhat neglected, finally couldn’t help but speak up.

“Um, I’ve been a bit short on cash lately.

Leader Gu, do you think you could casually lend me thirty or fifty billion so I can spend it first?

When the day comes—”

“With a wife as wealthy as Miss Mu, Mr.

Lin would still be short of money?!”

Casually asking for thirty or fifty billion?!

She, the great Leader Gu, just laughed it off!

This was only because Mu Shanshan, the icy president, was present.

Otherwise, Gu Lanzi would probably have completely denied Lin Fei outright, with no interest in joking with him like this.

Who knows how much effort it took her to establish the 3.5 billion yuan key enterprise support fund, how many trips to the bank she made!

What Gu Lanzi was actually thinking, Lin Fei had no clue.

All he knew was that he was in dire need of money recently!

“Leader Gu, you might not know.

As handsome and outstanding as I am, how could I be the kind of man to live off a woman!”

“From Mr.

Lin’s tone, are you planning to divorce Miss Mu?”

Damn it, how can it be interpreted like that!

That was just stirring the pot!

Lin Fei shot Gu Lanzi a dark look, intent on clearing his name, and turned to his president-wife Mu Shanshan.

He wanted to give her a reasonable explanation, but Mu Shanshan clearly showed no intention of giving him the chance to explain.

“Wife, listen to my explanation.

I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted to—”

“I want coffee!”

“Just listen to my explanation, I—”

“I want coffee!”

“I—will go and make it for you!”

Lin Fei had come to realize that Mu Shanshan, the president-wife, seemed to firmly stand with Gu Lanzi at this moment.

Whatever he said, Mu Shanshan probably wouldn’t listen to him.

So, Lin Fei simply turned around and left the conference room.

Since Gu Lanzi and Mu Shanshan were in cahoots to trap him, after making the coffee, Lin Fei wouldn’t mind making the two women pay the appropriate price for their words and actions…
