Chapter 1056: Chapter 1053: Are You Still Blaming Chapter 1056: Chapter 1053: Are You Still Blaming Actually, a lot has happened in the company during this period.
The most powerful secretary in the secretarial departnt, Fang Zhengdong, resigned.
After the new chairman took office, it seed that he only did one thing, which was to invest in establishing Yao City and to aggressively acquire various pharmaceutical companies and research teams.
At first, it wasn’t too bad, but lately, the major shareholders of the board have disagreed with his approach.
They believe his investnt behavior is too reckless, with too high a risk, and moreover, it’s a long-term massive investnt with no visible market returns.
To use so shareholders’ words, it’s almost as if he’s engaging in charity.
Of course, this hurt the interests of many major shareholders.
Therefore, there’s currently a lot of opposition within the company.
There’s even a general desire to oust Gu Zhaohan from his position.
When the people of the secretarial departnt saw Gu Qichen, they all stood up, quite astonished, and exclaid, “President…”
Gu Qichen spoke up, “I’m not your president anymore.”
The current head of the secretarial departnt, Wang Ying, ca over, “Director Gu, are you here to see the chairman?”
Gu Qichen asked, “Is he in?”
“The chairman is in his office now, should I let him know?”
Gu Qichen’s voice was indifferent, “No need, I’ll go in by myself.”
Gu Qichen walked to the president’s office door, didn’t even knock, and just went straight in.
The people in the secretary’s office all felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.
The forr chairman had suddenly beco a director and appeared here.
If the new chairman was in a dispute with the forr, whose side should they take?
Once Gu Qichen entered, he closed the door behind him.
Gu Zhaohan was indeed in the office.
However, he was standing by the bed.
One hand, not yet fully recovered, still hung limply.
His other hand, though, held a cigarette between its fingertips.
Gu Qichen looked at the swirling smoke and his brows slightly furrowed.
Gu Zhaohan, hearing soone at the door, had already turned to face it.
“Uncle,” Gu Zhaohan began.
Gu Qichen walked over, “When did you learn to smoke?”
Gu Zhaohan glanced at the cigarette in his hand, “You’re asking when I learned? That’s many years ago now, probably around the eighth grade.”
Gu Qichen’s brow grew more furrowed.
Gu Zhaohan took a drag of his cigarette, then tossed it away.
Exhaling a fluent stream of smoke, he said, “Uncle, have you always thought of as a good kid? That smoking in the eighth grade is sothing only delinquent youths would do?”
Gu Qichen didn’t reply.
In Gu Qichen’s mory, Gu Zhaohan had indeed always been well-behaved, the kind not to cause worry.
From childhood onwards, he was reserved, steady, excelled in his studies, and was rare in his diligent and earnest efforts, with high demands on himself.
He never engaged in uncertain endeavors or overstepped boundaries.
This impression seed to continue all the way to college.
Gu Qichen had always thought that Gu Zhaohan’s suppressed temperant only changed after eting Xia Yangyang.
Gu Qichen said, “Why did you smoke at that ti? You never ntioned it to .”
Gu Zhaohan replied, “Because I had no outlet for my anguish, no relief for my pressures; every ti I ca ho, Mom was waiting for you, not for , always preparing your favorite dishes. She only ever cared whether you were tired from work at the company, never about how much academic pressure I was under. The first ti I smoked was when I ca second in the grade. Mom offhandedly said that you, uncle, always ca first. Uncle, you have no idea what that felt like—I worked so hard, yet I could never achieve what ca effortlessly to you. Even if I was second in the grade, I gave it my all, but since I wasn’t first, it all seed aningless.”
Gu Qichen began, “You should know your sister never cared about your grades. Her comnt was probably just an offhand remark.”
Gu Zhaohan pursed his lips and smiled slightly, “Yes, she had no expectations of —it’s natural that I’m not as good as you; even if I surpassed you, in her eyes, it’s as if I’ve taken everything from you. She doesn’t hope for to be better than you because she doesn’t have great expectations of . But it’s different for you, you’re the one she pins all her hopes on.”
“You still resent ,” Gu Qichen spoke.
“Uncle, all that is in the past now. I’m not as talented or outstanding as you, I admit that. But, my future achievents will definitely not be less than yours. Just wait and see.”
Only then did Gu Qichen broach the main issue, “Xiao Han, do you realize that your current investnts carry great risk?”
