Shocking! A Hong Kong socialite gave birth to three heirs to a wealthy family.

Chapter 102 Shen Wancheng's "Sowing Discord"

These journals, which were not bribed by Xu, had all sorts of opinions.

For example, the Xu family cut their losses to survive, spreading rumors about "Xu family subsidiaries." The fate of the watch factory today could be their fate tomorrow.

Every sentence was written with the interests of Xu's subsidiaries in mind, as if these subsidiaries were the parents or relatives of these newspapers and periodicals.

I wonder if Mrs. Xu will be furious if she sees these comments.

It is estimated that another significant financial expenditure will be required to stabilize the group and prevent internal strife from arising while external troubles continue.

Shen Wancheng flipped through several newspapers, and all the opinions were in the same direction.

This convinced Shen Wancheng that someone had done this intentionally.

Disrupting the internal affairs of the Xu family would naturally benefit Shen Wancheng's acquisition of the watch factory under the Xu family's name.

Therefore, Shen Wancheng somewhat hoped that Li Su was the one who did this. If Li Su could also think of using media and public opinion, it would show that his abilities were more comprehensive.

However, Shen Wancheng was not in a hurry to verify; she wanted to wait for the results first.

Shen Wancheng believes that the first thing a leader should do is to remain calm.

The role of a leader is to make decisions and grasp the overall direction, rather than doing everything personally, and it's best not to interfere in the process.

Shen Wancheng kept this in mind, planning to ask Li Su about it after things were settled.

Besides these remarks, a press release from another media outlet also caught Shen Wancheng's attention.

[Xu's act of cutting off his own tail to survive was actually Gu's betrayal. What was the real reason behind Gu's malicious severing of ties?]

This report starts by arguing that the root cause of Xu's stockpiled watches and other goods was that Gu terminated the transportation of watches and other goods with Xu. It then gradually deduces that Xu's current predicament is entirely due to Gu's deliberate actions.

Every sentence in the report expressed Xu's resentment and condemned Gu.

This article is beautifully written and highly immersive; readers will easily feel indignant on Xu's behalf.

But will the Xu Group appreciate the media's sympathy?

of course not!

If Shen Wancheng put herself in the shoes of the current head of the Xu Group, she would just want to dig out the writers and the magazine and beat them up immediately!

The Xu and Gu families only terminated a small part of their cooperation, and this has caused such a big problem.

At this time, they still try to sow discord between the Gu and Xu families. They seem to be sympathizing with the Xu family, but in reality, they are kicking them when they are down.

Shen Wancheng didn't know if Xu's people had seen the newspaper, but she could make sure the other party involved saw it.

Shen Wancheng immediately called Gu Jinxing.

Shen Wancheng first called Gu Jinxing's residence, and the Filipino maid at the house said that Gu Jinxing had not yet returned home.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Wancheng called Gu Jinxing's company office again.

The person who answered the phone was Gu Jinxing's secretary. He asked Shen Wancheng to leave her name so he could inform President Gu later.

Shen Wancheng left her name and then hung up the phone.

Shen Wancheng rarely called Gu Jinxing on her own initiative, and she never called him just to chat.

So when Gu Jinxing finished his meeting, his secretary told him that Shen Wancheng had called. Gu Jinxing instinctively felt that Shen Wancheng had something to say, so he immediately called back.

As soon as the call connected, Gu Jinxing asked directly.

"Wancheng, is there something urgent that you're calling about?"

Shen Wancheng was currently nestled on her sofa at home, making a phone call, feeling quite comfortable.

"No, can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

Shen Wancheng spoke in a rather calm tone, but for some reason, Gu Jinxing felt that the voice coming through the phone line had a hint of coquetry.

Gu Jinxing's voice became even gentler.

"It's okay if nothing happens."

"Ah."

Gu Jinxing didn't hear Shen Wancheng continue speaking, so he took the initiative to start a conversation.

"What did you have for lunch?"

Shen Wancheng chuckled.

"Gu Jinxing, the topic you chose is so awkward."

Gu Jinxing unconsciously touched his nose.

This was the first time he'd ever initiated a conversation with a woman, so it's understandable that he wasn't very skilled at it.

"Then you speak, and I'll listen."

Shen Wancheng was just casually joking with Gu Jinxing to lighten the mood.

She got to the point.

Did you watch the news today?

"You mean the stock market? The fluctuations in Xu's stock price?"

"Correct."

Gu Jinxing chuckled softly, his tone tinged with affection.

"Wasn't this your idea? I've been following it, but I had some urgent business tonight and just finished a meeting, so I haven't seen Xu's response yet."

"Oh, I see. Then you must not have read any periodicals or newspapers."

"Yes, the Xu family can definitely resolve this matter, but it has indeed had a significant impact on them."

Gu Jinxing thought that Shen Wancheng did this to teach Xu Zi a lesson for her behavior at the family reunion banquet, so her words were somewhat in line with Shen Wancheng's intentions.

The implication is that your actions have already had a significant impact on the Xu family, and their ability to resolve the issue stems from their "excessive influence."

Shen Wancheng understood the meaning behind Gu Jinxing's words, but she felt there was no need to explain.

He simply said, "I know they won't collapse over something so small, but I was thinking of tattled on you."

Gu Jinxing was taken aback.

"Hmm? What tattling?"

"Wait a minute, let me read you a news report."

"it is good."

Shen Wancheng picked up the provocative newspaper and read it to Gu Jinxing.

After reading it, Shen Wancheng asked Gu Jinxing.

"President Gu, they were practically pointing their fingers at your Gu Group and accusing you of breaking your promise, but you didn't say a word. You're quite good-tempered, aren't you?"

Gu Jinxing chuckled softly again.

In reality, only one media outlet was stirring up trouble, and normally the Gu family wouldn't get involved in this mess.

Most of the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families continued. As a partner, the best course of action for the Gu family was to remain silent and, as the Xu family wished, quell the storm as soon as possible.

As soon as Gu makes a statement, the gossip media have something to make up, and the public is happy to watch the drama unfold.

On the other hand, Gu's silence shows her magnanimity. When Gu was misunderstood and slandered, she spoke out, and Xu had nothing to say.

Now that Shen Wancheng wants the Gu family to speak out, Gu Jinxing is happy to go along with her.

Gu Jinxing responded to Shen Wancheng.

"Yes, we should say something. We'll arrange for the media to speak tomorrow."

Shen Wancheng naturally understood that Gu Jinxing was going along with her wishes, but she didn't show it in her tone, still speaking from the perspective of the Gu family.

“I told you that’s how it should be done. This has nothing to do with the Gu family. We can’t let them drag us into this for no reason.”

As Shen Wancheng spoke, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up high.

As long as Gu Jinxing speaks up, the storm surrounding this matter will continue for several more days, putting further pressure on the Xu family.

Xu would then be even more eager to "cut his losses" and sell off these watch factories.

In business, whoever is in a hurry will suffer a loss; everyone understands this principle.

Gu Jinxing spoke about Shen Wancheng.

"Don't hold it in, laugh if you want to. What mischief are you up to?"

Shen Wancheng burst out laughing.

“You are all big capitalists and big bosses. I am just a nobody with nothing. What bad things could I do? Don’t slander me.”

"Okay, I won't slander you. Whatever you do, I wish you all the best in achieving your goals."

Shen Wancheng countered with a question.

Which assistant?

Gu Jinxing paused for a moment before answering.

"It means both 'helping' and 'wishing'."
