As for what they told Gu Nuan, of course, it was all nonsense.
"If she makes a move on that plot of land and fails, it’ll be easier for to take action." Chairman Zhan sighed, "This is sothing that can’t be helped; we need to co up with a perfect excuse to sell off our shares of Changda."
He needed to liquidate so assets before Rogers’ scam fully triggered a crisis, to fill the deficit on the company’s books. Otherwise, his position would not be secure.
There was no choice but to sacrifice Gu Nuan.
Businesspeople are always so cold and ruthless, their aim is to protect their interests. Gu Nuan is in business too, she should be able to forgive him.
"Otherwise—" Chairman Zhan seed to have made up his mind, "you just agree to be acquired by her and let her take the bait."
At the sa ti, Ou Chunhua and Rogers were having dinner together.
Rogers swirled his wine glass and said "YES" to Ou Chunhua.
Ou Chunhua smiled, a smile that seed as smug as he was.
Rogers marveled, "Working with Mrs. Ou has truly been delightful and comfortable. Rest assured, once I bring down that rumor-spreading woman, all the generous rewards will belong to Mrs. Ou."
In response, Ou Chunhua seed hesitant to take full credit, saying, "This is actually all thanks to Chairman Zhan. If it weren’t for Chairman Zhan gaining her trust first and giving us an opportunity, there would’ve been no way to reel her in."
"Hmm—" Rogers seed to delve into thought.
After the al with this con artist, as soon as Ou Chunhua stepped out, his expression changed from the smile he had for Rogers to one of disdain, "If it weren’t for my money being with him, I wouldn’t associate with such a blabbermouth."
"Madam?" Her secretary inquired.
"He’s just like Chairman Zhan, each has his own agenda. Said the land isn’t good, is it really not good? Probably just want to use Gu Nuan to drive up the price, let her buy it, then replace her after she loses money." As for superstition, with her own husband being a Feng Shui believer, Ou Chunhua knew well that it’s all about belief.
That plot of land actually has so value.
"In any case, we must not wait until they’ve made their move to prepare." Ou Chunhua said.
Before going to bed at night, Gu Nuan had a video call with her family.
The Gu Family’s video call setup was a gift from Dabai to his in-laws during his last visit with his wife.
Since Gu’s mom was busy during the day, she couldn’t talk until evening when she finally had so downti to chat with her daughter.
Right away, Gu’s mom said, "I heard your cousin visited you?"
"Yes. Mom. She ca yesterday." Gu Nuan replied.
"What did she say? Did she ntion your grandparents?"
Gu’s mom guessed it right away.
Gu Nuan sensed there was more to her mother’s words and asked, "Cousin said sothing, but it seed like she only said half of it."
"Your grandparents are not interested in you returning." Gu’s mom stated firmly, "You just focus on resting where you are, no need to co back."
Gu Nuan couldn’t help but feel suspicious, "Why do you say that, mom?"
"Your grandparents are greedy for money, you know that. And now, the whole village is talking about land acquisition and demolition, with everyone arguing over compensation. To your grandparents, nothing is more important than this. So they’ve moved out of your second aunt’s ho, saying if they die, they’ll die in that old house. The older they get, the more they love money, might as well use the money to bury themselves."
