Chapter 62 Who doesn't know how to swear in a foreign language?
"Ms. Xu Zi, you're so reckless because you have a brute protection association like yours backing you. You must be very proud of yourselves."
“My sister is afraid of dogs, usually only when the dog screams, will directly hit ”
“??? ?? ?? ?? ?? ???? ???? ?? ?? ???. ?? ??? ? ???.”
"Quality education, prenatal education, tutoring"
“??????? ???????????”
Shen Wancheng delivered a rapid-fire, cold, and clear speech, leaving everyone present stunned.
Some of them could understand one of the languages and "kindly" acted as translators.
Once one person did this, the others followed suit and translated into the language they could understand. They were quite proud of their translations, and they spoke loudly enough for the entire banquet hall to hear them.
“My sister has been afraid of dogs since she was a child. She will only take action if a dog barks loudly at her.”
"You can pack it up just by speaking a few words in English. Your burlap sacks must be the best-selling items, they can hold so much."
"You have no manners. Your education must have come from prenatal education, so of course you have no family education."
"Looking at your filthy appearance makes my OCD kick in."
Xu Zi and the middle-aged man initially didn't change their expressions because they couldn't understand what Shen Wancheng was saying.
As the translations were made, mixed with whispers and low laughter, Xu Zi and the middle-aged man's faces gradually flushed.
Xu Zi pointed a trembling finger at Shen Wancheng, "You...you...you.."
Xu Zi couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Shen Wancheng smirked coldly, "What? Why aren't you using bird language anymore? You?? Is that you????...?"
The middle-aged man coldly rebuked, "You're nothing more than Mr. Xu's adopted granddaughter from afar. Don't you even know your place? Can you really afford to offend the Xu family like this?"
“I, Xu Pingtao, only recognize these two granddaughters. They certainly deserve this title. Everyone here is a sensible person. It was your Xu Zi who was in the wrong first.”
The middle-aged man looked at Xu Pingtao and asked, "Mr. Xu, are you really going to sever ties with the Xu family for the sake of this newly recognized junior?"
Xu Pingtao's expression remained unchanged as he countered, "Why not?"
"Okay, since our two businesses have very little overlap, we'll have nothing to do with each other from now on."
The middle-aged man looked at Xu Zi coldly and said, "What are you still crying for? Go home."
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.
"The Gu Group hereby terminates all cooperation with the Xu Group, effective today."
The middle-aged man was shocked and furious. "Who dares to be so arrogant?"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned to look behind them and made way for them.
Gu Jinxing's figure, sitting in a wheelchair, came into view.
He said slowly, "It's not an exaggeration, but I can still decide who the Gu family chooses to cooperate with."
The middle-aged man's expression changed instantly when he saw Gu Jinxing.
The Gu family's importance to the Xu family far surpasses that of the He family, a major player in the manufacturing industry.
The Xu family made their fortune through commerce, with gold and silver jewelry and foreign luxury goods being their most profitable businesses. The import and export of these goods were inseparable from shipping.
If the Gu family were to actually terminate their cooperation with the Xu family, the Xu family's shipping costs would not only increase significantly, but also the security risks would also grow.
After all, if the Gu family doesn't take orders from the Xu family, the Xu family will have to find small companies to cooperate with. Small companies are certainly willing to take orders, but one or two companies definitely can't handle all of the Xu family's orders. So small companies have to work together to take orders. In this way, the shipping security personnel don't know each other, and their morale is not high, which makes it easy for accidents to happen.
If the Xu family were to hire a security company themselves, it would be a huge expense, not to mention that the owners of several large security companies in Hong Kong are also the Gu family.
A middle-aged person might sever ties with the He family for the sake of the Xu family's reputation, but they absolutely cannot break off cooperation with the Gu family over such a trivial matter.
The middle-aged man feigned ignorance and said,
"Mr. Gu, the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families has always been pleasant and solid. Why do you suddenly say you want to terminate it?"
Gu Jinxing looked at Shen Wancheng, but spoke to the middle-aged man, "Isn't my meaning obvious? I think what Miss Shen said earlier was right, and she deserves my praise and support."
Shen Wancheng met Gu Jinxing's gaze and raised an eyebrow.
This wild man actually didn't pretend to be blind today.
He really is a fraud.
However, what he just said was quite pleasing to the ear.
A smile unconsciously crept onto Shen Wancheng's lips.
However, among those who found these words agreeable, there were no middle-aged people. He simply couldn't believe that Gu Jinxing would terminate his cooperation with the Xu family because of a few words from an inland village girl.
It's important to understand that this collaboration was a win-win situation. Terminating the collaboration would not only result in heavy losses for the Xu family, but would also cause the Gu family to lose a major order. Even if we don't exaggerate, the Xu family could still influence the Gu family's annual revenue by 20%.
The middle-aged man asked, "Mr. Gu, isn't what you're doing a bit too frivolous?"
Standing next to Gu Jinxing, Liang Muchao interjected, "If Brother Xing is willing, then it's not a game."
Liang's father glared at Liang Muchao from the crowd. Liang Muchao noticed this and moved closer to Gu Jinxing.
Shen Yao, who couldn't get a word in edgewise, was both happy and touched that her sister and grandfather had stood up for her, and anxious that she couldn't get a chance to speak. But when she saw Liang Muchao's little gesture, she was amused and her lips curled into a smile.
Gu Jinxing also agreed with his friend, saying, "Mu Chao is right."
The middle-aged man never expected that Gu Jinxing would not give him any way out at all.
He looked at Gu Jinxing, then at Xu Pingtao, and finally glared at Xu Zi with hatred. He grabbed Xu Zi's arm and pulled her in front of Xu Pingtao.
"Apologize to Mr. Xu now."
Xu Pingtao stepped aside, saying, "She wasn't being rude to me, so she doesn't need to apologize."
The middle-aged man, in a fit of anger, gasped for breath and grabbed Xu Zi's arm, turning her to face Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.
"Apologize!"
Xu Zi was shocked, aggrieved, and unwilling to accept the situation. A mix of emotions swirled within her. She stammered "I...I..." several times, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Shen Wancheng smiled slightly and said, "Ms. Xu doesn't think she's wrong. It's really difficult for Mr. Xu to make her apologize."
Enraged, the middle-aged man kicked Xu Zi directly.
"Apologize!"
Xu Zi lost her balance and fell to her knees.
"I'm...I'm sorry."
After saying those three words, Xu Zi covered her face and burst into tears.
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Jinxing, "Mr. Gu, is this explanation acceptable?"
Gu Jinxing looked at Shen Wancheng and said, "Whether it's possible or not isn't up to me; you have to ask the person involved."
--------
Sorry, my lovely readers, Shen Mei is still online.
Haha, it's not that I'm dragging this out, it's just that the timeline in the book is only a few days long, and things are still developing.
However, Shen Mei will not be written out of the story; she will simply be separated from the female lead. If there are any scenes where Shen Mei is mentioned, I will write it in the title. If you don't like this kind of story, you can skip it.
Novels are meant to be read for enjoyment, and the female lead and her sister are definitely on the wish-fulfillment path. But Shen Mei represents something more realistic that I wanted to portray. Shen Mei is just an ordinary person who saw things beyond her own world, things far better than what she perceived. Her existence does indeed drive plot developments that benefit the female lead, such as her pregnancy, highlighting the female lead's strengths, and so on...
But it was also because of the female lead that she saw a world she shouldn't have been able to see, and she also had her own life different from the original book. She wanted to climb higher, but she would suffer setbacks and be very unhappy. After they parted ways, she wouldn't have much screen time, but there would definitely be more of her later, which I will mark.
(The original text already exceeded 2000 words, and this last paragraph is not to pad the word count.)
