Shan Yue shook her head helplessly and smiled. Gao Ming’s words were exactly the same as Gao Hua’s. As expected of a biological father and son. Everyone thought that she could change him by having this relationship with Zhou Xuan, but this was exactly what she hated the most.

Instead, the more this was the case, the more she had to avoid arousing suspicion. It would save some people with ill intentions from gossiping and giving them an opportunity.

“Uncle Gao, I’ll make myself clear to you. I won’t try to change him just because of my relationship with Zhou Xuan. How he chooses is up to him.” Shan Yue said firmly, “If you’re here today for this, I advise you to look for President Zhou directly. If he agrees, that’s naturally best. But if he doesn’t, there’s really nothing I can do.”

Even so, Gao Ming refused to give up. He took out the bank card he had prepared in advance, got up, walked to Shan Yue’s side, and lowered his body slightly.

In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he smiled. “President Shan, can you make things easier for us? The money in this card could be considered to compensate for your efforts. Please help the Gao family. If we can’t cross this hurdle in three days, the Gao Corporation really won’t be able to stay in the Federal Central City anymore.”

However, everything that was happening in front of her was within Shan Yue’s guess. She had long known that if she rejected Gao Ming, he would definitely not let the matter rest. Although as the boss of the company, he would not use force, he would definitely use some soft tactics.

Without hesitation, Shan Yue reached out a hand to stop Gao Ming.

“Uncle Gao, I let you in because I respect you. Logically speaking, I won’t meet guests this afternoon, but you’re an elder and I’m a junior. I can’t let you come to me personally and end up not seeing me.”

Shan Yue’s eyes revealed absolute justice. Every word was so powerful. “But if you do this, don’t blame me. I can only get the security officers to invite you out.”

“President Shan, don’t misunderstand. That’s not what I meant…”

“I understand, but no matter what, I won’t accept anyone’s bribe.”

Shan Yue’s lips curled up slightly as she distanced herself from Gao Ming. “Although I’m a businessman, I know very well that gentlemen love money and have a reason to take it. It’s true that the first goal of a businessman is profit, but I’m also an entrepreneur with a moral bottom line. I only know how to operate and won’t take any ill-gotten gains.”

These words made Gao Ming blush. For a moment, he didn’t know what to do. After a slight pause, he could only retract his outstretched hand and put it in his bag along with the card. “President Shan, I’m really sorry. 1 was too anxious and lacked consideration.”

“It’s okay, Uncle Gao. I really can’t help you with this matter. I’m also very sorry about this. If you have anything else, as long as it’s within my ability, I definitely won’t decline.” Shan Yue’s slender fingers casually tapped the table. “Perhaps you can try President Zhou again. Perhaps he will change his decision and protect the Gao family.”

“I understand, President Shan.” Although he said that, Gao Ming knew very well that as long as Shan Yue rejected him, the Gao family would lose their last hope.

As for Zhou Xuan, he would never help him. He understood that Zhou Xuan was a man of his word. As long as Zhou Xuan set his mind on something, he would definitely achieve his goal. In the entire Federation’s central city, other than Shan Yue, there was probably no one else who could make Zhou Xuan change.

“Sorry to disturb you, President Shan. I’ll go back first. Have a good rest.”

Right on the heels of that, Shan Yue symbolically exchanged a few pleasantries before sending Gao Ming off.

In less than two minutes, Chang Ling entered the office.

“President Shan, I really don’t understand what the Gao family is thinking. Just because you didn’t agree to Gao Hua’s request, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and took your life with a sharp weapon.”

Chang Ling frowned with a hint of anger on his face. “Did Gao Ming not figure out what his son did and still dare to come to you for forgiveness like this? He even wants us to be lenient and let the Gao family off. He didn’t even think about it.. How is that possible?”
