Chapter 667: The Explanation (1)
“Miss Xu, what kind of person do you think CEO Gu is?” Assistant Lin’s tone was somewhat resentful of Xu Weilai’s misunderstanding towards Gu Yu. “CEO Gu did not go after Miss Zuo. Miss Zuo was the one that came to CEO Gu.”
Zuo Si came to Gu Yu first?
Xu Weilai wasn’t bothered by Assistant Lin’s mockery. She was more surprised over the fact that Zuo Si was the one that came to Gu Yu.
With the crisis within Gu Corporation, it would be natural for her to think that Gu Yu went to Zuo Si as the solution to the internal crisis in the corporation, either through political marriage or through partnership. After all, Zuo Si had the support of the entire Zuo Corporation.
Moreover, the gossip between Gu Yu and Zuo Si was the talk of the town during that period. For over a month, he did not bother to explain and even neglected her. He requested a divorce when he came back from abroad. It was perfectly normal for her to think what she thought.
Thus, these words from Assistant Lin certainly came as a huge surprise.
“Continue.”
Assistant Lin shrugged, “I’m not sure of the agreement Ceo Gu had with Miss Zuo. I wasn’t there when they had discussions. But you also knew what happened after that. A lot of gossips were flying around, and… There were no public relations.”
“The rumors on the ambiguity between CEO Gu and Miss Zuo were not true. I was by CEO Gu’s side all the time and I have never seen him and Miss Zuo having any ambiguous actions between them. I think… CEO Gu and Miss Zuo probably had a certain agreement. First, start a gossip. Secondly, ensure no public relation interference. Moreover… your name was never mentioned in all the news, which was the reason you had a peaceful life even with so much crisis happening during that time.”
“He returned to China on the day of the Board of Directors meeting. Gu Xiong has already reached an agreement with the directors in the Board of Directors to have CEO Gu step down from his position as CEO. He relied on the shares entrusted by Mr. Gu. Sr. and the support of some shareholders who were on his side and had already garnered almost half of the voting rights. However, the rumors between CEO Gu and Miss Zuo and the possible partnership with Zuo Corporation shaken the stand of some in the Board of Directors. They changed their minds and voted for CEO Gu instead. In the end, the majority of the votes favored CEO Gu. That was how CEO Gu won again and shattered Gu Xiong’s wishful thinking.”
In fact, when Xu Weilai saw this agreement on share ownership transfer, she had already guessed that this was probably what had happened. Gu Xiong had always been an ambitious man, he certainly wouldn’t resign his fate to be kicked out of the Gu Corporation just like that? He would definitely cause trouble given chance…, she just didn’t expect that Grandpa Gu’s share would become his tool this time.
Grandpa Gu was unconscious, so there was no way he could claim back his shares. If Gu Yu had reacted slightly slower, the Gu Corporation would have fallen into Gu Xiong’s hands. So… she could understand the reason for his partnership with Zuo Corporation.
Xu Weilai bit her lower lip, “Then, the divorce… Was it part of his plan?”
Was this included in the agreement between him and Zuo Si?
“No.”
Assistant Lin couldn’t help but sighed, “Everything that I know, and everything that I’ve speculated is mainly accurate. Initially, when he did not contact you when he was abroad, I thought he decided not to contact you temporarily because he just did not want you to overthink. He did not have his phone with him when he was abroad, I was the one having it. I only call my mother on daily basis to follow up on the condition of Mr. Gu. Sr. was in.”
“After he secured the position of CEO, I asked him whether he was going to the hospital to see you and Mr. Gu. Sr. I thought the worse was over. I totally did not see it coming… when he asked me to prepare the divorce agreement.”
