Chapter 196: I'll spend money to help you snatch a wife!
Gu Xuanwu was very excited and anxious. Gu Xunjing calmly patted Gu Xuanwu on the shoulder and said, "Old man, don't you always say that you should remain calm in the face of great storms? What's the rush?"
"I'm anxious, of course I'm anxious. Jiang Qianhui is a rare and auspicious woman. If you can marry her, our Gu family will be blessed with good fortune. We've already invested funds in you, and you're still moving so slowly. If you don't have enough funds, just ask, and I guarantee the funds will be available. It's your own fault for not having the right conditions. I can only make up for it with funds later."
Gu Xunjing: "..." What do you mean he lacks natural advantages? He's 1.86 meters tall and handsome. If he entered the entertainment industry, he could easily beat top stars. His IQ is a whopping 210; he's the youngest Turing Award winner at the Federal Institute of Technology. With all these advantages, how could his old man say he lacks natural advantages?
Gu Xunjing forced a smile and said, "Old man, my mother is a world beauty queen, and my face is the standard idol face, perfectly avoiding your genetic defects. I have the height and the intelligence, and you actually say that I am not good enough in terms of innate conditions? Old man, are you kidding me?"
"I don't know what kind of idol you are, but in our time, that kind of face would be called a sissy. What's the point of a man looking so clean-cut? You don't have any manly charm at all."
"If what you mean by 'manly' is someone as dark-skinned and burly as you, then forget it, I'd rather not have that."
At this moment, the assistant said from the side, "Mr. Gu, you don't understand. Our young master now fits the aesthetic of this era. He is aloof and has a fragile, noble air. He can charm thousands of girls with just one look."
"Are you serious or not? She looks so effeminate, and people actually like her."
"Old man, my skin is good and fair, that's something I was born with. My appearance is delicate, not feminine, something that someone as rugged as you can only envy."
The assistant said excitedly, "So many people are telling our young master to debut right now. If he enters the entertainment industry, all the top stars will have to give way to him. Mr. Gu, our young master is handsome, isn't he?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xuanwu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly: "That's good, as long as Jiang Qianhui doesn't mind. I wish I had two sons, then I'd have more opportunities and more security."
Gu Xunjing: "..." Gu Xunjing was speechless. Was he just a tool in his old man's eyes? But he was willing to be used as a tool to steal Jiang Qianhui as his daughter-in-law.
Gu Xuanwu once again gave Gu Xunjing a pep talk: "Now that Jiang Qianhui and Zhan Yanxun are divorced, more and more people will see Jiang Qianhui's talent, and your competitors will only increase, so you need to hurry up. Just tell me how much money you need to win Jiang Qianhui's heart."
It's about money again; this shows how little confidence he has in himself.
However, considering he's pursuing Sui Sui, I'll let it go and not hold it against the old man.
"I never realized you were so generous, old man. It seems I misunderstood you. But it's not necessary now, I already have a billion."
Gu Xuanwu was shocked and asked in confusion, "Where did you get a billion? You don't even know how to make money."
Gu Xuanwu would be furious with his son. As the sole heir to a family business, he was given a value system that treated money like dirt, and he spent his days obsessed with racing and playing his own fast-paced, passionate games.
He used to want to strangle him and make him reincarnate. But now that he's discovered Jiang Qianhui, this auspicious creature, he's changed his mind. After all, he figured he'd probably be just as pathetic even if he were reincarnated.
If Jiang Qianhui could become his daughter-in-law, it would be possible to stabilize the foundation laid by their ancestors for generations.
If he passes away and meets his ancestors in the underworld, he can proudly say that although he didn't raise his son well, he did find a daughter-in-law who could safeguard the family business. Even if his son is unreliable, his daughter-in-law is capable. She will surely carry on the Gu family's legacy. Crucially, good genes are a good thing; Jiang Qianhui's child will definitely have a business mind, better than his own son, Gu Xunjing.
Genes need to be modified.
"Old man, why are you looking at me like that? And look at what you're saying about me not making money, making it sound like I'm a spendthrift. I've won tens of millions in prize money from racing."
"The prize money you received from racing is more than the annual salary my Gu Group pays to all the cleaners in all its subsidiaries. What can you do with that little bit of prize money?"
What is meant by "dimensional reduction attack"?
Gu Xunjing was provoked by her old man, whose only concern was money.
"Old man, you have billions in assets, how come you still seem obsessed with money? This doesn't suit your image as a big shot."
Gu Xuanwu gave Gu Xunjing a direct hit.
"If you could support our Gu Group, would I need to keep nagging you every day? Tell me, where did you get your 10 billion?"
"Made from selling stocks."
"Sell stocks?" Gu Xuantuo frowned, but as if he had suddenly thought of something, he rushed to the computer and started operating it.
I was so focused on the Zhan Group's stock price that I was thrilled to see it fall, but I didn't notice that HX Group's stock was soaring.
Gu Xunjing originally had 20 million original shares, but now he has sold them and made 1 billion.
This is exactly the same as what Jiang Qianhui said before.
Gu Xunjing said with admiration, "I wanted to give these stocks to Sui Sui before, but she refused. She said that the stocks I was going to give her would soon be worth 10 billion, and Sui Sui was right."
Gu Xuanwu exploded again.
"Jiang Qianhui is truly remarkable. In all my years in business, I've never encountered such a business prodigy, and she's not greedy at all. Even if you offered her stocks, she wouldn't take them. A girl with such discerning eyes and noble character, you should hurry up and win her back. As long as my grandson can take the Gu surname, you can even take her surname."
Gu Xunjing: "..." Does his old man have to go to such lengths! He feels like he's being used as bait, as long as Sui Sui can become the Gu family's daughter-in-law.
At this moment, the assistant said, "But I heard that Jiang Qianhui is infertile."
As soon as the assistant finished speaking, he suddenly felt two sharp glares fly straight at him, piercing his heart.
Gu Xuanwu said coldly, "Are you cursing our Gu family to have no descendants?"
The assistant instantly trembled with fear.
He was just stating what he'd heard; how did that become a curse wishing the Gu family to die out? He couldn't bear such a serious accusation.
"President Gu, I swear, I absolutely did not have that idea. Our Gu family will definitely prosper and have many children and grandchildren in the future."
