Chapter 843: A Generous Person

??

Old Master Tang, who was sitting at the side, could not help but frown when he heard his granddaughter’s words. “Ruge, is it because Mrs. Gu doesn’t want you to talk to President Gu?”

Tang Ruge was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She nodded stubbornly. “Grandpa, Xi Xi seems to have misunderstood me. It’s all my fault…”

Old Master Tang said unhappily, “If a man has other thoughts, they can’t be stopped. The more she shields him, the more useless she seems. Ruge, tell her directly that I want to discuss business with President Gu.”

Tang Ruge nodded, then said gently, “Xi Xi, it’s not that I want to look for President Gu. It’s my grandfather who wants to talk to President Gu about business. You don’t know anything about business, so it’s better to let President Gu answer the phone.”

At this moment, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. The man pushed open the bathroom door, and steam spread out. He was wearing a bathrobe, and the straps were not tied tightly, which revealed his fair and strong chest. “Who is it?”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at him and could not help but gulp. She said unhappily, “Tang Ruge wants to discuss business with you.”

“She’s looking for me to discuss business?” Gu Zheng repeated, seemingly in disbelief. Then, he sneered.

Tang Ruge could not see Gu Zheng’s expression on the other end of the phone, but when she heard his magnetic voice, her cheeks could not help but turn red. She hurriedly said shyly, “President Gu, my grandfather is here in Li City. He wants to talk to you about business, but he didn’t expect Xi Xi to pick up the call and misunderstand me.

“Xi Xi, can you give the phone to President Gu?”

Qiao Xi blinked and looked at Gu Zheng aggrievedly. She said loudly into the phone, “Alright! Then have a good business discussion!”

Tang Ruge heard the man’s breathing, followed by a cold and magnetic voice. “What’s the matter?”

When the Tang family heard Gu Zheng’s voice, they instantly smiled. The anger in Tang Ruge’s heart vanished as she said gently, “President Gu, Tang Corporation is going to open an entertainment company in Li City. Previously, when Xi Xi picked up the call, she asked me to tell her about the matter. I was afraid that she wouldn’t know anything about business, so I insisted on talking to you. Next, Gu Corporation is prepared to—”

“Isn’t Tang Corporation on holiday for the new year?” Gu Zheng asked coldly.

Gu Zheng leaned against the chair in the study with a lazy expression as if he was impatient just talking to Tang Ruge.

Tang Ruge was stunned for two seconds and subconsciously said, “We’re on holiday! It’s the new year, so, of course, we’re on holiday.”

“I’m on holiday too, so I won’t talk about work today,” Gu Zheng said casually.

Tang Ruge’s expression changed. Coincidentally, Qiao Xi’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “I told Miss Tang that you wouldn’t talk about work during the holidays, but she still insisted that you answer the phone. As the president of Gu Corporation, you only have a few days of free time in a year, yet she still came to disturb you!”

Gu Zheng’s tone was indifferent. “Miss Tang, if Tang Corporation wants to collaborate with Gu Corporation, you should contact my secretary first and let him screen the documents before handing them to Song Shiyu. Song Shiyu will only hand them to me after he’s confirmed that the plan is feasible. Only then will I discuss business with the Tang family.”

“President Gu…” The smile on Tang Ruge’s face froze. How could she not hear the alienation and mockery in Gu Zheng’s tone?

Looking at his granddaughter’s red eyes that were about to cry, Old Master Tang took the phone. “President Gu, I want to discuss business with you.”

Gu Zheng was stunned when he heard the unfamiliar voice of the old man, but he quickly reacted. This was the old master from the Tang family. He said casually, “So?”

Qiao Xi: “…” Gu Zheng’s tone was really asking for a beating.

Old Master Tang instantly choked. After a long silence, he cleared his throat and said, “It’s my first time in Li City. I’d like to ask for your guidance, Old Master Gu. I remember that you and Ruge were childhood playmates. It can be said that we’re fated.

“I heard that there was a misunderstanding between Ruge and Mrs. Gu. I apologize on behalf of this child. I hope Mrs. Gu can be magnanimous and not take issue with her.”

Be magnanimous? Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. If she did not forgive Tang Ruge, then she would be a vile person? Would she be accused of disrespecting her elders as well?

The next second, Gu Zheng said casually, “Mrs. Gu is kind-hearted, but I’m petty. I can’t tolerate people who bully her.”

Old Master Tang probably did not expect Gu Zheng to not show him any respect. His breathing became hurried as he suppressed the anger in his heart. After a long time, he said, “Tang Corporation has always been investing in antiques. We’ve established an entertainment company now, and it’s a field that Gu Corporation has always been outstanding in. President Gu, I hope you can…”
