Chapter 66 The Li Family of the Capital
That evening, Gu Huaizhen invited Song Qianyi and Du Luola to a banquet at Qu Shui Liu Shang.
After the meal, Gu Huaizhen got straight to the point, inviting Du Luola to collaborate with the Gu family because the dresses sent to the capital were in high demand.
Dullola was slightly taken aback, then a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
She looked at Song Qianyi, seemingly seeking her opinion.
It was this one glance that made Gu Huaizhen realize that Du Luola and Song Qianyi were not just ordinary friends.
Previously, their interactions seemed to subtly centered around Song Qianyi.
Song Qianyi smiled slightly and nodded.
It seems their cooperation is secure.
Then Duluola turned to look at Gu Huaizhen and spoke elegantly.
"Mr. Gu, your proposal is very attractive. However, our studio has a partner, so we need to consult her."
Gu Huaizhen was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure. He had misjudged the situation; he had thought Miss Song was the boss.
Then he said with a smile.
“I understand, such an important collaboration does require discussion with the partners. Ms. Du, could you please tell me when you can give me a reply? After all, this is a rare opportunity, and I hope we can move forward with the collaboration as soon as possible.”
Seeing Gu Huaizhen's serious expression, Duluola couldn't hold back anymore.
Song Qianyi looked at Du Luola and shook her head; she still liked to tease people.
Fortunately it's harmless.
Dullola coughed lightly, trying to suppress the smile on her face, and said seriously.
"Mr. Gu, I will communicate with the partners as soon as possible."
Gu Huaizhen nodded slightly, "Alright, then I'll await Miss Du's good news. I hope our cooperation will go smoothly."
Song Qianyi glanced at Du Luola helplessly. "You just love to tease people."
Then Song Qianyi straightened up slightly and looked at Gu Huaizhen slowly, saying...
"Mr. Gu, to be honest, I am a partner in Duluola Studio."
Gu Huaizhen was taken aback at first, then a look of sudden realization flashed in his eyes.
He sighed inwardly, realizing that it was just as he had guessed.
A slight smile played on his lips as he said with a hint of self-deprecation, "Looks like I've been amused by the two of you."
Duluola couldn't help but laugh when she saw Gu Huaizhen's reaction.
"Gu Huaizhen, don't be angry. I just wanted to tease you on a whim. Now let's talk about the details of the cooperation."
Gu Huaizhen laughed heartily.
After dinner, their cooperation was finalized.
-
The Li family in the capital.
Mr. Li, also known as Li Shizhong, is in the host's conference room.
His face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. The arrest of the Wu family for money laundering had dealt an unprecedented blow to the Li family, severely damaging their vitality.
The family members all wore solemn expressions, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Li Shizhong clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger and resentment.
The family head, Li Tianxi, spoke up, "Our Li family has suffered such a calamity, we cannot let this go unpunished. We must find the mastermind behind this and make them pay a heavy price."
The rest of the family nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, our Li family can’t just let ourselves be bullied like this. We must find those people and let them know that our Li family is not to be trifled with.”
An elder said sternly.
Li Shizhong raised his head, looked at the family head Li Tianxi, and said in a deep voice.
“Patriarch, I believe we should start with the Gu family. If the Wu family falls, they will benefit the most.”
"Moreover, they knew that our Li family was backing the Wu family, yet they still attacked the Wu family. This shows that they don't respect our Li family."
Li Yuan, the eldest son of the Li family, spoke in a cold tone. He had always disliked Li Shizhong, and now he had finally gotten his chance.
“Father, I don’t think so. The Gu family is targeting Wu’s Winery, which has nothing to do with what we asked Wu Qi to do.”
"Moreover, it was unwise for the Wu family to target the Gu family right from the start. The Gu family is the number one family in City A, and the Wu family has only themselves to blame."
“We should start with the Wu family and see if anyone has leaked the information.” He then looked at Li Shizhong with disdain.
Li Shizhong glared angrily at Li Yuan, about to retort, when the family head Li Tianxi raised his hand to signal him to be quiet.
"Yuan'er, I'm leaving this matter to you."
