Chapter 26 A Powerful Person

It had been a long time since he had seen her deal with someone so calmly, so Lu Nanting turned his head and smiled at her.

Lu Nanting understood better than anyone that different occasions required different priorities.

In the past, whenever Gu Lanxi went out with him, whether to meet friends or relatives, she always put him first and never overstepped her bounds.

When he went out to discuss matters with Gu Lanxi, he naturally listened to Gu Lanxi's opinions.

People often judge whether a partner is presentable based on their appearance.

A family with a solid foundation would not be so superficial.

Compared to appearance, people care more about the proper conduct and behavior in life.

Gu Lanxi has always excelled in this regard.

That house is indeed worth about 200 million on the market.

Gu Lanxi was not lying at all.

She said nothing, yet she said everything, and she said it very clearly.

That's the situation. She urgently needs around 200 million yuan. She's already found a house and is just waiting to sell her shares to buy it.

And the shares she holds are worth about the same.

She wants to throw everything away.

If Li Jingxiu can't finish it, she'll definitely sell the rest to his brother or someone else.

The couple looked solemn.

A full buyback would mean they would incur a significant amount of foreign debt.

But if we miss the opportunity, the consequences will be unimaginable.

While the two were still hesitating, Gu Lanxi spoke again gently:

“My aunt’s family is celebrating an elder’s 80th birthday, and she’s going back to help with the celebrations. She’ll probably head north next week. If you have any difficulties, I’ll think of another way.”

Li Jingxiu roared inwardly, "Don't you dare come up with any crazy ideas!!"
On the surface, she had to try to smile nicely: "No problem, no problem. If it weren't for Miss Gu's help at a critical moment back then, it's hard to say whether Su Cha would be where it is today. Now that Miss Gu is entering a new stage of life and has new plans for the future, as partners who have fought side by side for many years, we will naturally give our full support."

With the initial cooperation agreement reached, Gu Lanxi nodded gently: "Then it's settled."

"Row!"

Li Jingxiu nodded readily, then smiled awkwardly, "I would appreciate it if Miss Gu could grant me two more days to make the necessary arrangements."

Gu Lanxi was very understanding: "Such a large amount of cash flow would require anyone to raise some funds. I had originally considered this issue and planned to split it up before selling it, which would make it easier to sell. However, I have known Mr. Li for many years and we have always had a pleasant working relationship. I think you know what kind of person I am and how I usually do things. You need my support right now, so it's impossible for me to stab you in the back."

The circle is only so big. Doing things is about being a good person. If your reputation is ruined, many things will be difficult to handle.

From the age of twelve, Gu Lanxi understood just how important a good reputation was to a person.

How Su Cha develops in the future is none of her business.

The fact that she could do this—choosing one party and selling it outright without splitting it up to cause him trouble, not raising the price so he couldn't accept it, and not even contacting Mr. Li to try and get the highest bidder to win—is a testament to her high moral character in the business world.

Li Jingxiu clearly understood these things as well.

Although he was heartbroken and somewhat disgusted by the high price, and Gu Lanxi's decision to sell everything was unexpected, Li Jingxiu was undeniably moved after hearing Gu Lanxi's words.

If there is an opportunity to cooperate again in the future, I will definitely contact her as soon as possible.

After agreeing on the number of shares to be traded and tentatively agreeing on the price and trading time, Li Jingxiu sighed about how difficult it was to run a large company before seeing the couple off at the gate.

Gu Lanxi only politely praised him a few times throughout the entire process, without commenting on his management skills.

Because she is not good at management.

She never makes judgments about others in areas she is not familiar with.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Gu Lanxi followed Lu Nanting into his car. While Lu Nanting was fastening her seatbelt, she rolled down the window and waved to Su Ying, who was standing there.
"I had a very pleasant day. Let's get together again sometime."

Su Ying was wearing flesh-colored stockings and a royal blue business suit, but her fair insteps were covered in dust.

I don't know how many times I was kicked during the meal.

Gu Lanxi felt sorry for her for meeting the wrong person, but she didn't show it at all.

Marriage is a choice, for both the man and the woman.

Choosing the right person brings happiness. Choosing the wrong person means you have to bear the consequences yourself.

Su Ying was like that, and so was she.

When Lu Nanting came over for a meal, he brought two drivers and two bodyguards with him. One of them rode in the same car as him, and the other rode alone in the car behind him.

The two got into one car, and bodyguards drove Gu Lanxi's car to hers.

Only after the three cars had driven far away did Su Ying sigh wearily.

"This Miss Gu is truly remarkable."

The couple's relationship has been terrible lately. Li Jingxiu instinctively wanted to say something sarcastic, that she wasn't even worthy of carrying Gu Lanxi's shoes. But then he thought of Lu Nanting, who had been sitting there eating with a gentle and polite demeanor, and his air of a wealthy young master. Suddenly, he couldn't bring himself to say anything hurtful.

It's obvious that if anyone dared to say that, they would immediately be met with a barrage of insults: "What kind of pot deserves what kind of lid? You're always belittling me down, how much better can you be?"

Su Ying was his first wife, with whom he had built their business from scratch. She wasn't like those other women outside. If she really wanted to punish him, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Forget it, can we get a divorce or what?
Both people, who believed they were enduring humiliation for the sake of their shared interests, left the restaurant and returned to their company.

Gu Lanxi spoke eloquently, but she was also very strict about timing.

Today is Thursday, and they want to buy a house next week. Since they promised two days, they have to raise the money within two days.

Otherwise, if Gu Lanxi changes her mind later, we'll have something to say.

Leaving aside the rivalry between the couple, Gu Lanxi had barely gotten into the car when she received a call from CEO Li Jingwen, who politely invited her to dinner.

Since Gu Lanxi had already promised Li Jingxiu two days, she would not go back on her word.

Therefore, when refusing, one must also refuse in a very skillful way.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm busy with something and can't get away for the moment. If you'd like, I can arrange to meet with you again in about two days to apologize. Would that be alright?"

When intelligent people speak, most people probably can't understand them.

Mr. Li, however, was a shrewd man and immediately understood Gu Lanxi's meaning.

Okay, she has already agreed on the terms with her brother: raise the money within two days. If it doesn't go smoothly, she will talk to her younger brother again in two days.

Gu Lanxi always treated him with utmost politeness, so Xiao Li couldn't vent his anger on her. After hanging up the phone, he immediately tried to find ways to cause trouble for his brother.

Gu Lanxi didn't care about these things.

The stock price of Su Cha is changing daily and the trend is quite good. There are many people who want to buy it. If all else fails, you can sell it in parts, and it won't take more than a few days.

Gu Yongxin is her cousin; she wouldn't be unable to wait even a few days.

We're all family, there's no need to offend her.

After all, she was no longer the penniless Gu Lanxi she once was.

Are you free this afternoon?

Lu Nanting wanted to ask her to go try on clothes together, but Gu Lanxi was afraid of running into paparazzi and didn't want to go out with him, so she made up an excuse to refuse.
"The script has been changed. I need to go home and memorize it. You go by yourself."

Thinking it sounded awkward, I added, "What time do you expect to finish up there tonight? I'll wait for you to come back for dinner. If there's anything you'd like to eat, feel free to tell me."

She immediately smoothed down Lu Nanting's frizzy hair.

"I should be home before seven o'clock. If there are any unexpected situations, I'll let you know in advance. You can handle the rest yourself. I'm not picky."

"Oh, you're not picky, then I'll make stir-fried water spinach."

Lu Nanting immediately looked constipated and didn't answer.

Gu Lanxi smiled and gestured to the driver:

"Please stop up ahead, it's not on my way home."

There are fewer people here; it would be harder to change cars in a more bustling area.

The driver was very savvy and didn't care what the boss thought. As soon as the boss's wife gave the order, he contacted the two cars behind him, found a parking spot, and stopped immediately.

After the car came to a stop, Gu Lanxi opened her bag, took out a mask and sunglasses, put them on, and then got out of the car to go to the back to switch bodyguards.

They are being very cautious.
