Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 823 - Learned Something

Chapter 823: Learned Something

??

The corners of Lu Xiang’s mouth twitched slightly as her anger burned. She shouted, “Gu Zheng!”

“Second Miss Lu, you haven’t apologized to Mrs. Gu yet.”

Lu Xiang widened her eyes. “What do you mean?”

She had already lowered her head to express her goodwill to Gu Zheng, so what else did he want? Could it be that she really had to apologize to Qiao Xi in front of everyone? That would be too embarra.s.sing!

“If you’re unwilling, we won’t force you. Xi Xi, let’s go.” As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, he was about to hold Qiao Xi’s hand and leave.

When Old Master Lu heard this, he glared fiercely at Lu Xiang. Her entire body trembled. She could only grit her teeth and say unwillingly, “Qiao Xi, I’m really sorry. I said something wrong just now. Today is the Lu family’s annual meeting. Let’s quickly take a seat and not delay the rest of the process.”

She suppressed her anger and felt depressed. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness.

At the side, Lu Yan looked at his a.s.sistant and asked in a low voice, “How is it?”

The a.s.sistant said, “Young Master, everything is ready. The presales of the new perfumes this time will definitely surpa.s.s Gu Corporation’s.”

Lu Yan took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Gu Corporation, which has won for five consecutive years, is finally going to lose!”

The farce ended with Lu Xiang apologizing. Qiao Xi did not say anything else and sat down with Gu Zheng. She leaned into Gu Zheng’s ear and said softly, “There’s still 20 minutes.”

20 minutes later, the presales channels for Gu Corporation and Lu Corporation would open at the same time. At this time, the price of the perfumes would be the lowest. Hence, most of the customers would opt for the presales. The winner would be decided in about an hour.

If the difference in presales was not big, there would be some suspense as to who would win. However, if the gap was big, the final outcome could be announced immediately.

Hence, an hour later, they would know who the winner was between Lu Yan and Gu Zheng.

The Lu family specially chose this time to hold the annual meeting. It was to wait for the presales channel to open and witness the final victory.

…

Three minutes before the presales channel opened, a higher-up of Lu Corporation raised his gla.s.s. “Young Master Lu, you’ve worked hard for the release of the new perfumes this time. Since it’s the annual meeting today, I wish you victory!”

Qiao Xi muttered in a low voice, “Tsk! Why didn’t he just say that he wishes Lu Yan will surpa.s.s you? Can’t he be more direct?”

The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth curled up slightly. He knew what everyone was thinking. Whether they were tactful or direct did not matter to him. He only cared about the outcome.

Lu Yan happily clinked gla.s.ses with the higher-up. Then, the two of them looked at each other. Everyone then looked at Gu Zheng. The person asked meaningfully, “Gu Corporation is also releasing a new perfume and invested a large sum of money into it. In the past, Gu Corporation was the top in presales and postsales. President Gu, are you confident in winning the championship this time?”

Qiao Xi grunted coldly.

Lu Xiang, who was at the side, mocked, “Ah Zheng, before your new perfume was developed, a few senior perfumers from Gu Corporation happened to jump ship to Lu Yan’s company. I heard that Gu Corporation had no choice but to use new perfumers. Could it be that your perfume this time…”

Gu Zheng’s expression was calm as if he did not hear her.

Lu Xiang pretended to be gentle. “Ah Zheng, don’t blame Lu Yan for this. After all, in the business world, strength is everything. Even if you’re brothers, you have to take it seriously. Those perfumers probably think that they have better prospects at Lu Corporation, so they jumped ship.”

Qiao Xi: “…” They would have better prospects at Lu Corporation? Lu Xiang’s ability to lie through her teeth was really unparalleled!

At this moment, the entire venue was silent. Everyone could hear the mockery in Lu Xiang’s words. If it were anyone else, they would have left in anger long ago. However, Gu Zheng was not angry at all. He leisurely held his wine gla.s.s and said with a faint smile, “Second Miss Lu.”

The man’s voice was low as he said slowly, “Does having good prospects mean that there’s more room for improvement? Of course, Gu Corporation can’t compare to the Lu family. After all, Gu Corporation is already at the peak of C Nation, while the Lu family has already lost everything this year. There’s indeed a lot of room for improvement. I’ve learned something from you, Second Miss Lu.”

Everyone clicked their tongues in their hearts. Gu Zheng’s mouth was even more vicious than Qiao Xi’s!

Everyone knew that Lu Xiang had just said it casually and wanted to mock Gu Zheng. Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng mocked her instead and slapped Lu Xiang in the face. He also mocked the entire Lu family.

Lu Xiang’s eyes almost popped out. “Gu Zheng!”
