Chapter 103 Gu Jinxing Adds Fuel to the Fire

Gu Jinxing's words made Shen Wancheng's lips unconsciously curl upwards.

"Gu Jinxing, it turns out you're quite eloquent. I used to think you were the kind of person who didn't speak much."

"When judging people, there's no need to be quiet when you're speaking."

"Ok."

Having achieved her goal, Shen Wancheng wanted to hang up and go to sleep.

"You're still at the company, you must not have had dinner yet. Go have dinner first, I'm going to sleep."

"and many more."

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

"Just so you know, my parents went to the He Mansion yesterday to discuss the engagement, and the date has been set, so the news has spread."

Shen Wancheng was aware that the engagement arrangements had already been agreed upon.

Both the Gu and He families are large, established families with over a century of history. Since Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing are not interested in Western culture, they decided to hold their wedding according to traditional Chinese customs.

The Gu family now knows that Shen Wancheng is pregnant, and knowing that time is of the essence, they have set the wedding date for two months from now.

However, according to ancient customs, both Gu and He agreed that none of the traditional wedding procedures should be omitted.

Therefore, even though the wedding date is very close, the Gu family still has to go through the betrothal and engagement process.

Finally, they set the engagement date for two weeks later.

Time was of the essence; the decision was made just yesterday, and the news was already out.

Shen Wancheng understood and didn't take it to heart.

"I see."

"Other things are already being arranged, like the wedding dress. What are your thoughts?"

Shen Wancheng thought for a moment and then said.

"I'll go to the Lan family tomorrow and ask Ms. Lan if she has any suitable ready-made clothing or if she can make one in time."

The marriage of Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng is not only a union between the two of them, but also a marriage alliance between the Gu and He families, which is a major event in the Hong Kong elite circle.

Gu Jinxing had already told Shen Wancheng, so that she could be mentally prepared.

There will definitely be a lot of media coverage at that time.

Even if Gu Jinxing wants to keep a low profile, these media outlets will still try every means to follow and report on him. It would be better to give some well-known media outlets a spot so that they can take pictures and the reports would be more positive.

Since this will be a major event that Hong Kong Island will be eager to report on, it means that this will be an excellent publicity opportunity.

Shen Wancheng certainly wouldn't miss it.

So she immediately thought of wearing the dress that Lan Qin had made herself.

Gu Jinxing was unaware that Shen Wancheng was considering this; he simply assumed that Shen Wancheng valued the engagement dress.

So he said.

“If Ms. Lan doesn’t have time to make it, I’ll accompany you to choose one first, and then Ms. Lan can have the wedding dress made in advance.”

Shen Wancheng didn't explain to Gu Jinxing; she just yawned and said...

"We'll talk about it later. Is there anything else now? I'm sleepy."

That's all, goodnight.

"Good night."

The next morning, Shen Wancheng saw on the television news that the media was chasing after Gu Jinxing for an interview, asking him what Gu Jinxing had to say about Xu's belief that the Gu Group was ultimately to blame for the matter.

Gu Jinxing said coldly, "He believes that Mr. Xu Youwei would not say such a stupid thing, but if he really has such an idea, then there is really no need for the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families to continue."

The media pressed further, "From Mr. Gu's words, does he not deny that there is indeed a rift between the Gu and Xu families?"

Gu Jinxing neither admitted nor denied it, giving a very official answer.

"Our two companies have no obligation to disclose our business cooperation to the public."

Gu Jinxing then left.

After watching the interview, Shen Wancheng immediately wanted to give Gu Jinxing a thumbs up.

Gu Jinxing's words seemed fair, without acknowledging any conflict with Xu Shi, but in reality, not a single word was in Xu Shi's favor.

The current turmoil was caused by the suspension of some cooperation between the Gu and Xu families. If Gu Jinxing were to publicly declare that the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families is solid and unbreakable, it would be able to turn the tide in the Xu family's current predicament.

If they were truly excellent business partners, why would Gu Jinxing say something that wouldn't harm the Gu family but was very important to the Xu family?

Gu Jinxing's current statement that he cannot disclose the details only proves that this incident is not accidental and that there are indeed problems with the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families.

This time, the watch factory's goods were squeezed, so the Xu family cut off the watch factory. Will the same thing happen next time other industries have problems?

Would you still dare to buy shares in companies under the Xu family?

If Shen Wancheng put herself in the shoes of the shareholders who bought Xu's stock, she could guess what they were thinking right now.

Many people who invest in stocks have staked their entire fortune on the stock market, making them extremely vulnerable and easily frightened by the slightest disturbance.

To Gu Jinxing's seemingly casual words, Shen Wancheng could only say: Well done.

Shen Wancheng wished she had a third eye so she could see how angry and resentful the person in charge of the Xu family was right now.

Just as Shen Wancheng had predicted, Xu Youwei was in a real bind these past two days.

Because of a rumor that came from an unknown source, the market value of the Xu Group shrank by several hundred million in just two or three days.

They also had to give up several listed watch manufacturing subsidiaries.

Although these watch factories rely entirely on being OEM manufacturers for high-end luxury goods overseas, their annual profits are not high.

But even a few mosquitoes are still meat; at least they are profitable, not loss-making, and can strengthen the group's cooperation with high-end overseas companies.

Xu Youwei felt like he was cutting off a piece of his own flesh when he decided to give up the watch factory.

But to his surprise, Gu Jinxing's words that morning greatly diminished the effectiveness of his decision to cut his losses.

Last night, Xu Youwei personally appeared and led the media to confirm that the Xu Group's goods stuck at the port consisted only of watches and a small number of leather suitcases and daily necessities.

He also took the media to visit some of Xu's other factories, showcasing Xu's production capabilities and proving that there were no problems within Xu's company and that the rumors were nonsense.

The effect was immediate; the rate of decline in the Xu Group's stock price slowed significantly last night, except for the stock prices of the few watch factories that were abandoned, which plummeted.

This is easy to understand. Xu's Group's stock price has already fallen a lot, and shareholders who sell now will lose money.

If the Xu Group strongly proves that there are no problems with its own group, then shareholders will think that since the Xu Group's stock price has already fallen to the bottom, it will inevitably rise now that it has proven to be fine.

Therefore, it's best to sell at a loss if possible.

However, Gu Jinxing's words in the morning caused these people's balance to begin to waver again.

But as Gu Jinxing said, this matter had nothing to do with the Gu family, and Xu Youwei had no reason to blame the Gu family.

But everyone knows that Gu Jinxing is definitely dissatisfied with Xu Shi, which is why he didn't say a single polite word in Xu Shi's defense.

Why was Gu Jinxing dissatisfied with Madam Xu?

The matter has now returned to the cause of the problems in the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families.

Xu Youwei was unsure whether the Gu family had planned to end the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families all along.

But even if the Gu family had planned this all along, they still needed a pretext.

Regardless of the pretext or the real cause, Xu Youwei was certain of only one thing.

It was all because at Xu Pingtao's family reunion banquet, Xu Youwei's niece, Xu Zi, provoked Shen Wancheng.
