Chapter 161 Gu Jinxing Takes Complete Control of the Group
Chapter 161 Gu Jinxing Takes Complete Control of the Group
Shen Yaochen ran home and saw Shen Wancheng sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.
She tiptoed over.
He drew out the question, but spoke very softly in Shen Wancheng's ear.
"What are you thinking about so intently?"
"I..."
Shen Wancheng unconsciously uttered two words before snapping back to reality.
Meeting Shen Yao's curious and inquisitive gaze, Shen Wancheng calmly asked.
"What if you sneak up on me and scare me so much that I get sick?"
Shen Yao sat down next to Shen Wancheng.
"I was very careful to control my voice, how could I have gotten sick from being scared? But sis, what are you thinking about that you're afraid I'll find out you're guilty?"
Shen Wancheng didn't answer but asked a question instead.
"What's there to be ashamed of about you? How many of my thoughts can you possibly guess?"
Shen Yao remained silent for a few seconds.
I feel like I've been looked down upon, but then again, maybe not?
Not obvious, let's take another look.
"Hey sis, tell me, what are you thinking about so intently?"
"I wasn't thinking about anything. I went to change my clothes and have breakfast."
Shen Wancheng stood up and went to the dining table to eat.
Shen Yao quickly changed her clothes back in her room.
She said this to Shen Wancheng while she was having breakfast.
"Sis, I'm going to the horse farm today. I'll be taking the upgrade assessment in a couple of days."
Shen Wancheng said with a smile.
"You've only been going to the horse farm to train on time every day since you came back from South Africa. Do you think you can pass the assessment?"
Shen Yao panicked when she heard this. Her sister didn't have any confidence in her?
Will this work?
Shen Yao switched to English and spoke to Shen Wancheng.
"If you don't have confidence in me, please be on time at the horse farm the day after tomorrow and see your sister's heroic figure."
Shen Wancheng only had eyes for the white porridge and side dishes in front of her, and ate them slowly and leisurely.
"Don't go."
"Hmph, that won't do. If you don't go, I'll have to tie you up and take you there."
Shen Wancheng chuckled, and her mood inexplicably improved.
"Your English has improved very quickly lately."
Shen Yao said without any modesty.
"That's right, I have an exceptionally strong ability to adapt."
Shen Wancheng nodded.
Shen Yao is right. As a time traveler from ancient times, Shen Yao has a strong ability to adapt and learn.
Don't be fooled by the fact that everything Shen Yao has achieved seems to be thanks to Shen Wancheng.
But in reality, it's only been three months since they transmigrated, and Shen Yao has already fully adapted to and integrated into the current society, with her own career and social circle.
This is already quite impressive, considering that Shen Yao doesn't have any special abilities like Shen Wancheng, nor does she know the future direction.
Shen Wancheng stopped teasing Shen Yao and asked her seriously.
"Is the assessment the day after tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, there's a jockey assessment in the morning and a horse race in the afternoon. We haven't bet on horses in a long time, so we can have some fun that day."
"okay."
Shen Wancheng felt that Shen Yao was both a younger sister and, inexplicably, a daughter.
Therefore, she didn't want to miss Shen Yao's important moments.
"Sis, do you have any plans for today?"
"I went back to the He Mansion in the morning and had lunch with Gu Jinxing at noon."
"Oh~~" Shen Yao drawled, her tone teasing, "Your relationship is progressing quite deeply~"
Shen Wancheng rolled her eyes at Shen Yao and didn't reply.
Shen Yao continued speaking with a grin.
"Have a pleasant day, sister. I'm off!"
*
Shen Wancheng returned to the He Mansion and went to see He Lin first.
He Lin's lucidity was indeed short-lived; her memory was confused again today, and she mistook Shen Wancheng for her twin granddaughter Tuantuan, who had died at birth.
However, she still remembered that Shen Wancheng was pregnant.
Upon seeing Shen Wancheng, he asked.
"Tuantuan, how many months pregnant are you? Why aren't you showing yet?"
Shen Wancheng smiled and sat down next to He Lin.
"It's not even been three months yet, not time for the pregnancy to show."
"That's not the case yet. But you're so thin, it might not be noticeable even after four or five months. You need to eat more so that you'll be stronger and the baby can grow bigger and easier to take care of."
Shen Wancheng was speechless inside, but gave a perfunctory reply on the surface.
"Okay, I understand, I'll eat more."
Shen Wancheng thought to herself, "Sure enough, most people at this time don't know about scientific pregnancy care."
My instinct is that pregnant women should eat more to nourish themselves and the fetus.
Few people consider the pregnancy-related illnesses that can result from excessive weight gain in pregnant women, or the problem of an oversized fetus making delivery difficult.
Of course, Shen Wancheng was referring to a typical pregnant woman.
As for herself, with triplets, she definitely needs to supplement her nutrition more than the average pregnant woman.
After all, she was responsible for the health of four people: one adult and three children.
Speaking of this, Shen Wancheng was still very worried, but all she could do for now was secretly hope that as a transmigrator with a cheat code, she would have more protagonist halo and give birth smoothly.
Shen Wancheng stayed with He Lin for about an hour before Xu Pingtao came to find her to go to the study.
Upon arriving at the study, Xu Pingtao got straight to the point.
"Just now, there was a major change in the shareholding structure of the Gu Group."
As Xu Pingtao spoke, his gaze was fixed on Shen Wancheng, hoping to get some useful information from her.
But Shen Wancheng remained calm, just as Xu Pingtao said, eating white rice for lunch was as ordinary as it was.
However, sometimes appearing calm is also a message.
Xu Pingtao continued to ask.
"Aren't you concerned about what changes have occurred? Or did you already know?"
Shen Wancheng found it quite amusing to look at Xu Pingtao's calm expression, yet his words revealed a great deal of curiosity.
Shen Wancheng said with a smile.
"Gu Jinxing called me this morning."
She fell silent after saying that.
Xu Pingtao stared wide-eyed.
and then?
What did you say on the phone?
Xu Pingtao sighed deeply.
"Wan Cheng, everyone says that girls are outgoing. I never had a daughter or granddaughter before, so I never really understood it. But now I'm experiencing it for the first time. You're already keeping something from your grandfather right after getting engaged."
Shen Wancheng just kept her head down and chuckled silently, still not saying anything.
In the end, Xu Pingtao continued to press for answers.
"Are you so sure Gu Jinxing will win?"
After a brief moment of laughter and joking, Shen Wancheng still had to answer Xu Pingtao's question seriously.
Shen Wancheng knew that Xu Pingtao was only concerned about the Gu family's affairs because he cared about her. If Shen Wancheng hadn't gotten engaged to Gu Jinxing, Xu Pingtao would have only waited until things settled down before learning about the Gu family's affairs as an observer or as a business case study.
They wouldn't have known anything before urgently summoning Shen Wancheng to the He Mansion to ask for details.
Moreover, Xu Pingtao's involvement in this matter at this time is also a signal.
He was implying to Shen Wancheng that he would lend a helping hand if Gu Jinxing needed it.
After all, you took the initiative to inquire. If I have a problem, can you really stand aside and be a bystander?
Shen Wancheng was a smart woman, and she understood this when Xu Pingtao summoned her to the He Mansion and brought up the Gu family.
So after joking with Xu Pingtao, Shen Wancheng spoke seriously.
"Actually, I don't know much. Gu Jinxing didn't tell me much. He only said that everything went smoothly during our phone call this morning and asked me to have lunch together."
Xu Pingtao nodded.
"He seems very confident, and the facts should be as he imagined. Just now, 10% of the shares under Gu Qinglan's name were transferred to his name. At the same time, he also gathered 6% of the scattered shares of the small shareholders, so his share in Gu's Group reached 31%."
Upon hearing the non-integer number 31, Shen Wancheng keenly realized the crux of the matter and asked.
How much of the shares does Grandpa Gu own in the Gu family business?
Xu Pingtao was very satisfied with Shen Wancheng's reaction.
This granddaughter is truly intelligent and perceptive; she is capable of great things.
Xu Pingtao answered Shen Wancheng's question with a faint smile.
"Thirty percent."
