Every word he spoke was powerful and resonant, stirring the listeners to a passion.
The team he led would surely be one that charges forward fearlessly and is unafraid of death!
She had to admit that at this mont, she was utterly enchanted by Gu Junzhu.
She linked her arm with Gu Junzhu’s, gazing at him with a look of obsession and admiration.
She deeply loved this man.
Though he sotis had a sharp tongue and a slightly troubleso personality, his soul was irresistibly alluring.
At this mont, she was utterly devoted to him.
If right now, he were in any danger that required her life to save his, she would willingly and unhesitatingly offer it.
Just holding his arm wasn’t enough; she found his hand and intertwined her fingers with his, tightly gripping it.
This man is hers.
Forever hers.
She would hold him tightly, and no one should think of taking him from her!
Wu Qisen bent deeply at the waist, large beads of sweat rolling to the ground.
Trembling, he said, "Young Master Gu, please calm down, Yue Zhi used my na to threaten your subordinates, of which I was unaware. I assure you, I have definitely not used my authority to harm anyone. I can swear on it!"
Gu Junzhu glanced at him, saying indifferently, "Every wrong has its source, every debt its owner. I won’t let a bad person go unpunished nor will I wrong a good person. If you truly haven’t done any evil, you have nothing to fear."
Wu Qisen’s vision blurred and his body shook as if sifting chaff.
He has nothing to fear?
No.
He was scared to death.
Indeed, he hadn’t hard anyone by abusing his power.
But he had accepted bribes.
To be an official indeed brought honor to one’s ancestors, commanding respect and fear, yet it wasn’t lucrative.
He held the position of deputy director of the finance departnt; although his salary was much higher than the average person, it couldn’t compare to a big company owner.
In many century-old families, their heirs receive tailored education, combining political and comrcial paths.
So children follow a political path, others venture into business, combining governnt and comrce.
The officials provide protection to the businessn, ensuring they aren’t exploited or deceived, safeguarding their achievents.
The businessn provide financial support to the officials, enabling them to enjoy a privileged material life.
Like Wei Hanting and Gu Junzhu standing before him now.
As the deputy director of the finance departnt, although he didn’t know Gu Junzhu, he had heard so things about the Gu Family.
Wei Hanting had a high official position with an inco higher than an average person’s, but only moderately so and was nothing compared to wealthy businessn.
Yet Wei Hanting was rich.
Extrely rich.
He ate the best, wore the best, used the best.
No matter the situation, money was never a problem for him.
Why?
Because he had a wealthy brother!
Receiving money and gifts from others is called bribery.
Receiving money and gifts from his brother is called brotherly love!
Many officials engage in corruption and bribery because they love wealth.
Wei Hanting would never need to engage in corruption or bribery.
Because he never had to worry about money.
His brother, standing at the pinnacle of the business world, could earn countless wealth through his own abilities, without needing him to abuse his power for his brother’s benefit.
Without desires, one can remain firm.
He, having clean hands and integrity, impartial and selfless, with strong background and capability, never had to bend for money, having never made a mistake, his record filled with glorious achievents, thus he could rise so quickly.
He couldn’t.
The Wu Family was just an ordinary family.
He had stumbled upon good fortune, standing in the right team, rising through the ranks following his superior.
