, he wanted to marry his daughter to him, but in reality, he was forcing him to choose sides between the empress dowager and himself.He smiled faintly: "These past few days, I've been reflecting on my...Tooting his own horn, he not only met the real deal but also Gu Qingcheng's boyfriend, Sun Dongwei was completely dumbfounded, muttering: "This is impossible, this absolutely can't be true!"

On one hand, he knew Zhang Liman was telling the truth. On the other hand, he couldn't believe that things could be so coincidental, that Ye Bufan would be so lucky, and that he would be so unlucky.

Zhang Linman said: "What's impossible Do you think I would lie to you"

And at this time, two bodyguards in black suits walked in from outside, pushing open the door and standing on either side.

Behind them was Gu Qingcheng in a white dress. This woman seemed to be born to wear white, and the white matched her temperament perfectly, making her look even more noble and cold.

Among the students originally in the room, both Zhang Liman and Cao Ruobing were considered beauties, but when Gu Qingcheng appeared, the two of them immediately paled in comparison.

There is no comparison, there is no harm. That's the point.

"Miss Gu"

Sun Dongwei sprang up at once. Although he had never met Gu Qingcheng in person, he knew her photos by heart.

Upon hearing his address, the others instinctively rose to their feet as well.

The Gu family was already well-known, and with a woman like Gu Qingcheng, who exuded an aura that commanded respect from the moment you laid eyes on her, it was impossible not to feel a deep reverence.

"Miss Gu, you're here!"

Zhang Linman hurriedly got up and gave up her seat.

Gu Qingcheng nodded and walked straight to Ye Bufan's side and sat down.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly at him. "How did you get here"

Gu Qincheng said, "I heard from your aunt that you have a class reunion today, so I came to meet your classmates."

"I just scheduled a meeting with a candidate for the general manager position at Pengcheng Group. Could you help me investigate them and see if they're a good fit"

Attending Ye Bufan's class reunion was her primary reason for coming today.

She used to skip her own classmates' reunions, but with two powerful rivals vying for the same man, she had to do everything she could to get close to him as quickly as possible.

As for the interview candidates, they are all secondary. After all, Pengcheng Group is just a small subsidiary of the Gu family, and replacing a manager is not a big deal at all.

Ye Bufan said, "When you examine candidates, is the person you're referring to surnamed Sun"

Hearing this, Sun Dongwei's heart skipped a beat. He might have been bragging just now.

I never thought his words could reach Gu Qingcheng's ears, who knew that her boyfriend was sitting right across from him, and even became the examiner for his father. Worst of all, he had just provoked her repeatedly.

Gu Qingcheng said: "That's right, the president of the Wufeng County Chamber of Commerce, Sun Yongjiang, I think this person has some ability, we can give it a try."

This is not a business secret, so she did not shy away from the people in the room.

But when it reaches other people's ears, the taste changes entirely. Just now, Sun Dongwei patted his chest and said that his father was already the general manager of Pengcheng Group, but in fact, he was just an observer.

Li Xiao walked in from outside and said respectfully, "Miss, Sun Yongjiang is here."

Gu Qingcheng said, "Let him in."

Li Xiao nodded. Soon, a man in his fifties walked in from outside. It was Sun Dongwei's father, Sun Yongjiang.

At this moment, Sun Yongjiang's heart was filled with excitement. He had always strived to be the general manager of Pengcheng Group. After so many years, he had finally waited for a suitable opportunity.

Having heard that Chen Haizhu was fired by Gu Qingcheng, he used his many connections to ask people to speak up for him. It was only after much effort that he finally got an interview opportunity.

Because of this, when I just received the interview call, I couldn't contain my excitement and called my son.

...but what he didn't expect was that this one phone call would destroy all his life's work. ...

After entering, he respectfully approached Gu Qingcheng, not even bothering to glance at the people beside him, nor did he see his son present.

"I, Sun Yongjiang, have met Miss Gu."

Gu Qingcheng said, "Please sit down."

"Miss Gu, I'd still rather stand."

Sun Yongjiang said respectfully, his expression full of nervousness. At this moment, he was so anxious that he didn't dare to sit down.

Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything more, turning her head to Ye Bufan and saying, "Xiaofan, what do you think"

Seeing her not asking him a word, but seeking the opinion of a young man beside her, Sun Yongjiang's heart immediately filled with intense curiosity. Who was this young man Why was Gu Qingcheng so much inclined to him

Ye Bufan took a look at Sun Yongjiang. Compared to Sun Dongwei, who looked like a thin monkey, Sun Yongjiang was considered handsome with extremely agile eyes, a standard businessman's appearance.

"Very good, Mr. Sun is indeed a talented person."

Although he wasn't used to being bested by a young man, Sun Yongjiang felt a surge of joy in his heart.

It's clear that Gu Qincheng places great importance on this young man. As long as the latter says a few kind words to her, the position of general manager at Pengcheng Group will undoubtedly be hers.

Just as a hint of a smile played on his lips, Ye Bufan continued to Gu Qingcheng, "No wonder his son just told everyone that you begged your father to take this general manager position. It seems that the Gu Group is really lacking talent."

His voice was not loud, but to everyone's ears it sounded like the roar of nine divine thunders.

Sun Yongjiang was first shocked, then his lungs nearly exploded. He never expected his son to say such things, and most importantly, it reached Gu Qincheng's ears.

Sun Dongwei was struck dumb, his eyes glazed over as he sat there. He knew that with the Gu family's standing and Gu Qingcheng's pride, his father's position as general manager was likely out of reach.

As expected, Gu Qingcheng's expression instantly turned cold as she said in a frigid voice, "Sun Yongjiang, our Gu family lacks nothing, especially not people. Since that's the case, you may go back."

Son Yongjiang panicked immediately, and hurriedly pleaded, "Miss Gu, please don't listen to that kid's nonsense. I truly want to serve the Gu family. Please give me a chance..."

Gu Qingcheng didn't even bother to say a word, she just waved her hand at Li Xiao. Immediately, two bodyguards came over and dragged him out the door.

The reason for directly refuting Sun Yongjiang wasn't entirely because of Sun Dongwei's words, but rather because he sensed Ye Bufan's attitude.

She could tell that Ye Bufan had no good feelings towards the Sun family father and son. Since that was the case, why should she need to use them

With the Li family's wealth and influence, finding a manager would be incredibly easy.

Sun Yongjiang was dragged to the door and saw Sun Dongwei sitting next to him. He immediately lost control of his anger, broke free from the two bodyguards, and rushed over, slapping him repeatedly in the face.

"You little bastard, you got what's coming to you. You ruined all my years of hard work..."

He cursed and slapped while beating Sun Dongwei mercilessly. His men were ruthless, quickly beating him until he looked like a pig's head, blood streaming from the corner of his mouth.

The students beside them were dumbfounded. Nobody expected that a perfectly normal class reunion would end up like this, without even a single dish served.

Yang Jincai provoked Ye Bufan and is now in jail. Sun Dongwei seemed very arrogant, but in the blink of an eye, his father beat him like a grandson.

"You f***ing get back here, or I'll break your legs."

Sun Yongjiang was obviously still angry. He grabbed Sun Dongwei's hair and dragged him out of the private room. Cao Ruobing also didn't have the face to stay there, so she followed suit and ran out.helming aura and immense confidence. In his view, as long as he made a move, Ye Bufan would be undoubtedly dead, unable to even withstand a single blow.To his surprise, before he could even reach the...
