Chapter 166 General Manager’s Inspection

Sun Dongwei was completely dumbfounded, having just bragged and then encountering the very person he spoke of, who was also Gu Qingcheng's boyfriend. He muttered, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

On one hand, he knew what Zhang Linman said was true, but on the other hand, he couldn't believe things could be so coincidental, that Ye Bufan was so lucky, and he was so unlucky.

Zhang Linman said, "What's impossible? Do you think I'd lie to you?"

At that moment, two bodyguards in black suits walked in from outside. After pushing open the door, they stood to the sides.

Behind them was Gu Qingcheng in a white dress. This woman seemed to naturally love wearing white, and white perfectly matched her temperament, making her appear even more noble and cold.

Among the classmates in the room, both Zhang Linman and Cao Ruobing were considered beauties, but the moment Gu Qingcheng appeared, both of them immediately paled in comparison.

The saying "no comparison, no harm" perfectly describes this situation.

"Miss Gu?"

Sun Dongwei stood up abruptly. Although he had never met Gu Qingcheng in person, he was intimately familiar with her photos.

Hearing his address, everyone else also stood up involuntarily.

The Gu Family was already renowned, and a woman like Gu Qingcheng naturally exuded an aura that inspired an innate sense of awe in those who saw her.

"Young Miss Gu, you've arrived!"

Zhang Linman quickly got up and offered her seat.

Gu Qingcheng nodded and walked directly to Ye Bufan's side, sitting down.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly at her, "Why are you here?"

Gu Qingcheng said, "I heard from Auntie that you're having a class reunion today, so I came to meet your classmates.

Coincidentally, I have an appointment with a candidate for the Pengcheng Group's general manager position. Later, you can help me assess him and see if he's suitable."

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

She usually didn't attend her own class reunions, but with two extremely powerful love rivals nearby, she had to do everything possible to quickly get closer to this man.

As for interviewing the candidate, that was secondary. After all, Pengcheng Group was just a small industry of the Gu Family, and changing a manager was hardly a major event.

Ye Bufan said, "Assessing a candidate, is the person you're talking about surnamed Sun?"

Hearing this, Sun Dongwei's heart leaped. He had just been bragging.

He originally thought his words couldn't possibly reach Gu Qingcheng's ears, but who would have thought that her boyfriend was sitting opposite him, and he had even become the assessor for his father? The worst part was that he had provoked him repeatedly just now.

Gu Qingcheng said, "That's right, Sun Yongjiang, the president of Wufeng County Chamber of Commerce. I think this person has some ability and could be given a try."

This was not a business secret, so she did not avoid the people in the room.

However, to the others, the meaning changed completely. Sun Dongwei had just boasted that his father was already the general manager of Pengcheng Group, but in reality, he was just a candidate under consideration.

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

Gu Qingcheng said, "Let him in."

Li Xiao nodded, and soon, a middle-aged man of about 50 walked in from outside. It was Sun Dongwei's father, Sun Yongjiang.

At this moment, Sun Yongjiang was extremely excited in his heart. His long-standing goal had been to become the general manager of Pengcheng Group, and after so many years, he had finally waited for a suitable opportunity.

He heard that Chen Haizhu had been fired by Gu Qingcheng, so he used many connections and asked many people to speak well of him, which was how he finally managed to get an interview opportunity.

Because of this, when he received the interview call just now, he couldn't suppress his excitement and called his son.

What he didn't expect was that this single phone call would destroy all his lifelong efforts.

After entering, he respectfully approached Gu Qingcheng, not even bothering to glance at the people nearby, nor did he notice his son was present.

"I, Sun Yongjiang, greet Young Miss Gu."

Gu Qingcheng said, "Please sit."

"Young Miss Gu, I'll just stand."

Sun Yongjiang said respectfully. At this moment, he was extremely nervous and dared not sit down.

Gu Qingcheng said nothing more, turning to Ye Bufan and saying, "Xiaofan, what do you think?"

Seeing that she didn't ask him a single question but instead sought the opinion of a Young man beside her, Sun Yongjiang immediately felt immense curiosity. Who was this Young man? Why did Gu Qingcheng value him so much?

Ye Bufan sized up Sun Yongjiang. Compared to the scrawny Sun Dongwei, Sun Yongjiang had a proper appearance and extremely sharp eyes, a typical businessman's look.

"Not bad, Mr. Sun is indeed a talented individual."

Although he was somewhat unaccustomed to being evaluated by this Young man, Sun Yongjiang still felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He could tell that Gu Qingcheng placed great importance on this Young man; as long as he said a few good words for him, the position of general manager of Pengcheng Group would surely be his.

Just as a smile began to play on his lips, Ye Bufan continued to speak to Gu Qingcheng, "No wonder his son just told everyone that you begged his father to take this general manager position. It seems the Gu Family is truly lacking in talent."

His voice was not loud, but to everyone's ears, it was like Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

Sun Yongjiang was first shocked, then his lungs nearly burst with anger. He never imagined his son would say such words, and most importantly, that they would reach Gu Qingcheng's ears.

Sun Dongwei felt as if struck by five bolts of lightning, sitting there with a blank stare. He knew that given the Gu Family's status and Gu Qingcheng's pride, his father's general manager position was likely out of reach.

Indeed, Gu Qingcheng's expression instantly turned cold. She said icily, "Sun Yongjiang, the Gu Family lacks nothing but people. Since that's the case, you may leave."

Sun Yongjiang immediately panicked upon hearing this and quickly pleaded, "Young Miss Gu, please don't listen to that kid's nonsense. I sincerely want to serve the Gu Family. Please, just give me a chance…"

Gu Qingcheng didn't even bother with pleasantries and simply waved her hand at Li Xiao. Immediately, two bodyguards came over and dragged him towards the door.

The reason she directly dismissed Sun Yongjiang was not entirely because of Sun Dongwei's words, but rather because she sensed Ye Bufan's attitude.

She could tell that Ye Bufan had no good feelings towards the Sun father and son, so why should she employ them?

With the Gu Family's financial resources and influence, finding a manager was incredibly easy.

Sun Yongjiang was dragged to the doorway and caught sight of Sun Dongwei sitting nearby. He immediately lost control of his anger, broke free from the two bodyguards, rushed over, and slapped him repeatedly across the face.

"You little bastard, for your loose tongue! All my years of effort are ruined by you…"

He cursed and slapped him, showing no mercy. Soon, Sun Dongwei was beaten like a pig's head, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

The classmates nearby watched in stunned silence. No one expected a perfectly good class reunion to turn out like this before a single dish was even served.

Yang Jincai provoked Ye Bufan and is now in prison. Sun Dongwei seemed very impressive, but in the blink of an eye, his own father beat him like a Grandson.

"You f***ing go back home! See if I don't break your legs."

Sun Yongjiang was clearly still furious. He grabbed Sun Dongwei by the hair and dragged him out of the private room. Cao Ruobing also felt too embarrassed to stay and quickly ran out after them.
