Chapter 1179: Grand Opening
Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: Grand Opening
Today was a special day, as Gu Fan and Li Shi’s company had its grand opening. The company, focusing on investments, was equally owned between Gu Fan and Li Shi.
At the invitation of Gu Fan and Li Shi, many friends and classmates came to support the event. Everyone ate, drank, and chatted together. Although gathering so many people together didn’t have much significance, Li Shi felt that having a quiet opening wasn’t ideal, so they decided to make it lively.
Originally, with Li Shi’s beauty and her deliberate dressing up for the day, she was sure to be the center of attention. However, as soon as Su Hui appeared, her mature charm, which Li Shi lacked, instantly overshadowed Li Shi.
Many people who didn’t know her wondered who she was and why she was so beautiful.
As everyone was puzzled, Su Hui walked over to Gu Fan and then toasted, "Congratulations on your company’s success, make sure to look after me when you become rich."
"Of course, I hope your good words come true," Gu Fan replied as he clinked glasses with Su Hui.
This surprised many people present, "Oh my gosh, is this beauty invited by Gu Fan? Could she be Gu Fan’s girlfriend? No wonder Gu Fan didn’t end up with Li Shi when they met again. So that’s why."
A few of Gu Fan’s high school classmates also discussed how lucky Gu Fan was, missing out on Li Shi but finding someone like this. The age difference made them look quite compatible too.
Just then, Lu Yi, with a plate full of food, ate and explained, "You’ve got it wrong. They’re just friends, but not ordinary friends. Gu Fan’s girlfriend is someone else."
"What, you know who Gu Fan’s girlfriend is? Come on, tell us," a few people eagerly urged, while Lu Yi glanced at Li Shi and couldn’t help exclaiming, "Rather than that, you tell me who this lady is and what her relationship with Gu Fan is."
At that moment, Lan Ning came over and twisted Lu Yi’s ear, "What’s with the nosiness? Don’t tell me you’re interested."
Lu Yi quickly clarified, "How could I? I don’t mean anything by it. I’m just curious, after all, it’s about a good brother’s matters."
"Better keep it that way. If you dare get any ideas, watch me twist your ear off," Lan Ning warned as she saw Lu Yi pleading.
As Gu Fan and Su Hui saw Lu Yi and Lan Ning playfully bickering, they quickly joined in the fun, "You’re here, sorry if I haven’t attended to you well, please forgive the oversight."
"No worries, no worries!" Lu Yi looked around and then carefully asked, "Why haven’t we seen Miss Lin yet?"
To this, Gu Fan was also puzzled, "I told Lin Xi the time and place. She assured me she would definitely be on time. She’s always been punctual. I don’t know why she’s late."
Lu Yi asked again, "Have you sent her a message?"
"I did," Gu Fan responded, puzzled, "She replied three hours ago saying she would be right here, but as you see, she hasn’t shown up yet."
"I know why!" Gu Ling jumped in at this moment, blinking his eyes, as if to suggest he wanted a fee for his information.
Gu Fan pinched Gu Ling’s nose, "Alright, just eat and drink today and don’t cause any trouble."
Hearing this, Gu Ling was a bit displeased, "What are you talking about? When have I ever caused you trouble?"
Gu Fan looked around again, frowning, "Strange, I haven’t seen Jie for a while, do you know where he has gone?"
Lu Yi shook her head, "I find it odd too. I haven’t been in touch with him for a long time. I have no idea where he has gone. He only told me once that he and his brother had something to deal with and would be gone for a long time."
Gu Fan felt something was unusual and was worried about his friend.
At that moment, Du Jun and Qin Jia arrived, and the handsome couple immediately caught everyone’s attention, especially the engagement ring, which was remarkably beautiful and clearly not ordinary.
"Here they are, what an honor," Gu Fan went over to greet them while Du Jun also brought a gift and said, "Congratulations on starting your own company, Gu Fan. Please don’t mind what happened before, I had no choice."
Gu Fan smiled slightly, showing he didn’t mind, "I know it was I who troubled you. I should be the one apologizing. Also, I want to thank you, as it was that money that helped me make up my mind to start my own company."
"I think you should definitely own a company of your own. If I ever break partnership with Boss Ding, could I join you?" Du Jun spoke sincerely, feeling more secure about starting a business with Gu Fan.
"Sure, no problem at all. If that day really comes, I’ll definitely welcome you with open arms." After saying this, Gu Fan actually gave Du Jun a hug, then added, "I’m sorry for encouraging you to start a business earlier, and now I can’t help you in the company. Just don’t blame me if one day you lose all your startup funds."
Du Jun chuckled lightly, "Haha, it was my father who forced me to drive you out of the company, and I didn’t withstand the pressure. So whatever happens to my company, it’s not related to you at all, and I won’t blame you."
"That’s good to know. I can rest easy now." Just as Gu Fan finished speaking, Gu Ling’s surprised voice rang out, "Wow, Sister Qin Jia, your ring is so beautiful. Seeing how happy you look, something good must be near, right?"
With that said, Qin Jia showed a shy look, while Gu Ling kept asking about when they would invite everyone to their wedding ceremony.
Lu Yi and the others also joined in the fun, eagerly asking Du Jun and Qin Jia for invitations, which made the atmosphere even livelier.
While everyone was busy teasing Du Jun, Gu Fan pulled Qin Jia aside and asked, "Do you know where Lin Xi is? She’s not answering my calls, and when I text her, she just replies saying she’ll be here soon, but I haven’t seen her yet."
"You’ll just have to wait," Qin Jia replied with a meaningful smile, leaving Gu Fan somewhat baffled.
At that moment, the foreign relative Helen arrived, giving Gu Fan a hug and presenting a grand opening gift.
Because of Helen’s foreign appearance, which was also very beautiful, it was hard not to attract attention. Many people who were unaware were wondering when Gu Fan had met such a gorgeous foreign woman.
Later, everyone found out that Helen was Gu Fan’s relative, and as they understood the situation, they couldn’t help but feel envious, wishing they had such a relative too.
Halfway through the opening ceremony, everyone expected had arrived, but Lin Xi was still nowhere to be seen, which made Gu Fan anxious. He guessed what Lin Xi was thinking but felt it was no longer necessary.
Finally, Miss Lin made her dazzling entrance as the finale. Her carefully chosen outfit and hairstyle, her exquisite makeup, and her confident smile - she even brought out the demeanor of a queen from a previous life. The moment she walked in the door, she was simply breathtaking.
