Chapter 1515 - I Am The Majority Shareholder

Chapter 1515: I Am The Majority Shareholder  

You sent people to the Soviet Union?
Gu Nianzhi frowned slightly and looked thoughtfully at the hall ahead.
How did you search for her?

Xie Qingying felt she was having a hearty talk with a slight acquaintance. She glanced at Gu Nianzhi but didn’t answer directly. Instead, she asked,
How old is your friend? Why is she so interested in my aunt?

Gu Nianzhi put down the grape juice in her hand. She had mixed feelings, but also a faint sense of unease.
If Xie Ziyan was really dead, she wouldn’t have to worry so much.
What if she wasn’t dead?
What if she got married and had children in the Soviet Union…
Her eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Although she knew that she shouldn’t ask so many questions on their first meeting, she still couldn’t control herself. She confirmed once again,
Have you looked for the Committee of State Security (KGB) in the Soviet Union? If you’re looking for someone, the committee of State Security (KGB) in the Soviet Union is the real expert.

Xie Qingying was silent for a long time. She twirled the wine glass in her hand and said casually,
Of course… the Committee of State Security (KGB) didn’t helped us find her. Do you think they’re our police? As if we can make them do anything we want?

That was true.
Gu Nianzhi blushed and looked away.
In the parallel universe, she was very familiar with KGB’s Vladamir and the driver Ivan, so she didn’t think anything about asking them for help.
Now that she thought about it, she had actually benefited from Huo Shaoheng.
The KGB had been able to get along with her because of Huo Shaoheng. If not, would they have recognized her?
The Committee of State Security (KGB) had been acquainted with her because of Huo Shaoheng. Even Xie Qingying, who was the prime minister’s niece, couldn’t claim ties with the KGB.
Gu Nianzhi sighed Slightly and nodded.
I understand. I hope your great-aunt…

She suddenly couldn’t continue.
What did she hope for?
That she was already dead?
That she died before she got married and had children?
She really couldn’t say it.
After all, it was a human life, and it was Xie Qingying’s great-aunt.
How shameless would she have to be to say such cruel words in front of others like wishing that her great-aunt was already dead?
But how could she hope that she was still alive?
Wouldn’t that mean that there was probably another Huo Shaoheng on this side?!
If that was the case, then the Huo Shaoheng of the other side would never be able to come over!
Then she would have to find her own way back…
Gu Nianzhi’s mood quickly sank.
Xie Qingying saw that she had stopped talking, so she raised her glass and smiled at her.
Miss Gu, I still have something to do. It was nice to meet you today.

Gu Nianzhi smiled at her.
Miss Xie is very approachable. You really have the bearing of a socialite.


You flatter me, Miss Gu.
Xie Qingying nodded politely and was led to the rostrum by her assistant.
On the rostrum in front of them, the Lu Corporation’s executives were already on stage and ready to speak.
Lu Yuan, the CEO and chairman of the Lu Corporation, was the first to bear the brunt. He stood at the very front.
He was tall and imposing. Looking majestic and imposing, he stood there in a suit.
This was the bearing of someone who had been in a decision-making position for many years.
Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes as she looked at the rostrum. She was keenly aware that Lu Yuan’s brother, Lu Jin, was standing diagonally behind him. He was looking at her with sparkling eyes.
Seeing Gu Nianzhi look over, Lu Jin quietly raised his hand and waved at her.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help smiling.
This Mr. Lu Jin was really interesting.
The hall quieted down and Lu Yuan began to speak.
His voice was transmitted to every corner of the hall through the excellent loudspeaker. It was as pleasant as speaking into one’s ear.
After he finished speaking, the partners of the Lu Corporation, the high officials of H City, and the senator also began to speak.
Gu Nianzhi was not in the mood to listen to their business bragging.
She quietly sized up the crowd around her and silently moved back to the entrance of the hall.
In the end, she left the banquet hall while everyone was clapping enthusiastically.
There was a wide terrace outside the hall, and she could see the Victoria Harbor in front of her.
At night, the sea view was particularly moving.
A bright moon hung above the navy blue sky, and in the clear sea water of Victoria Harbor, there was also a bright moon reflecting.
She stood alone on the terrace, and behind her was the bustling hall. The crowd cheered and clapped excitedly.
In front of her was the endless sea, a vast expanse of jade, and undisturbed waves.
Her thin back figure looked fragile, but it had an extremely strong tenacity, like a bamboo pole. The greater the pressure, the stronger the resistance.
She quietly calculated the chips in her hand, and prepared for her future actions.
She didn’t want to be trapped here for the rest of her life, but she had to carefully plan how to get back.
Because she wasn’t facing an ordinary person, but the entire machinery of the country.
She didn’t know how long she had stood there, but a sea breeze blew in her face, and Gu Nianzhi felt a little cold.
Just then, a warm coat gently draped over her back.
Gu Nianzhi’s whole body shook. She looked up and saw that Lu Jin had just put his suit jacket on her.

Mr. Lu, why are you here?
Gu Nianzhi looked back at the banquet hall.
The bustle there had reached a new height.
Lu Jin’s hands were in his pockets. He looked at the bay ahead and said with a frown,
I can’t listen to a bunch of idiots flatter each other for more than five minutes a day too long. It will make me depressed and won’t be good for my mental health.

Gu Nianzhi giggled and covered her mouth with her hand.
Mr. Lu, you’re really not polite. I wonder how many people you’ll offend if you say that.


I know, that’s why I don’t stay in there to offend people.
Lu Jin glanced at her and saw that the smile on her face was as lively as a night flower. It was so beautiful that it was soul-stirring, but also carefree. The depression and irritation from before were instantly swept away.
Gu Nianzhi took Lu Jin’s suit jacket and returned it to him. She said in a mock serious tone,
Thank you for the suit, Mr. Lu. In order not to make Mr. Lu depressed, I have to go back first.

Lu Jin took the jacket and was slightly startled. He quickly said,
I won’t be depressed if I talk to you.


Huh? Really?
Gu Nianzhi put her hands behind her back and tilted her head.
I’m worried that I’m one of those ‘idiots’ …


No, no, of course you’re not!
Lu Jin was a little anxious.
How can you be an idiot? There’s no girl smarter than you!

Gu Nianzhi smiled widely and said bluntly,
Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your insight. I think I’m pretty smart.


That’s right.
Lu Jin put on his suit in satisfaction and walked with her to the elevator. He said,
I hate those empty pleasantries the most.


Smart people must be humble and take the initiative to say that they are stupid. Otherwise, they will be accused of being proud and looking down on others.


Why don’t we see those stupid people being honest and admitting that they’re stupid? Hmph! This society is so unfair!

Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Uncle Lu’s perspective… was so unique.
Just as the two of them entered the elevator, Gu Nianzhi’s phone vibrated again.
She took out her phone and swiped it open. It was Bai Shuang.

Bai Shuang?
Gu Nianzhi answered the call.
On the other end of the phone, Bai Shuang’s voice was different from its usual crisp and clear voice. It was slightly trembling and nervous.
She said in a sobbing voice,
Lawyer Gu, you have to help me. You have to help us!


What happened? Who bullied you?
Gu Nianzhi’s expression changed slightly. She looked at her watch. It was only past eight in the evening.
The Lu Corporation’s celebration party had just begun, and the night life in H City had just begun.

No, no one bullied me. It was my client…
Bai Shuang lowered her voice.
Can you come to my room? We really need a lawyer! Right now! Right now!

Gu Nianzhi said without hesitation,
Okay, I’ll be right there.

She put away her phone and looked up to see Lu Jin looking at her curiously. She explained to him,
My friend seems to be in trouble. I have to go help her.


What friend?
Lu Jin asked quickly.
This is your first time here. You’re not familiar with this place. Can you help her?


How would I know if I don’t try?
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow.
Mr. Lu, that’s my friend. She asked me for help. I can’t reject her without even trying.

Lu Jin’s eyebrows jumped. He stared at her blankly for a while before looking away.
Then I’ll go with you.

Gu Nianzhi wanted to decline, but Lu Jin said,
I’m a shareholder of the Lu Corporation, after all. I can help.

Gu Nianzhi:
…

Lu Jin saw that Gu Nianzhi didn’t seem to believe him, so he immediately said,
… I’m a major shareholder, a very major one. I hold more than 50% of the shares.

He was eager to prove to Gu Nianzhi that he was more capable than Gu Nianzhi and had the resources to help her friend.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said gently,
I know. Thank you, Mr. Lu. I’m more at ease with your help. It’s just as you said. I’m new here and don’t know many people here. It would be great if you could help.

She also didn’t want to go to Bai Shuang’s room alone. She felt more at ease with Lu Jin by her side.
Although she had only just met Lu Jin, she had a hunch that Lu Jin had no ill intentions towards her and wasn’t a bad person.
Her intuition was very accurate and were never wrong.
..
The two of them soon arrived at Bai Shuang’s floor.
After the doorbell rang, Bai Shuang poked her head out and saw that Gu Nianzhi hadn’t come alone. She looked at Lu Jin suspiciously and asked,
May I ask who you are… ?

Gu nianzhi replied vaguely,
He’s my friend. He knows a lot of people. He might be able to help you.

Bai Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.
You can come in.

She opened the door and let the two of them in.
When they entered Bai Shuang’s suite, Gu Nianzhi saw her American client sitting on the sofa with a terrified expression on his face. His hands were clasped together as he looked at them in shock. He asked in English,
What are they doing here?

Bai Shuang explained to him in English, then looked at Gu Nianzhi and said,
… Dresden just told me that he’s an employee of the United States’ Department of Homeland Security.

Gu Nianzhi:
…

Lu Jin’s eyes flashed, and he pulled Gu Nianzhi to sit across from Dresden.
Bai Shuang sat next to Dresden, her face drained of all color, and even her lips turned pale.
… I’m in trouble.

Gu Nianzhi looked at her.
Don’t panic. Take your time. As long as you didn’t do anything wrong, it’s no big deal even if the sky collapses.

Bai Shuang was on the verge of tears.
… He took a lot of important information from the US Department of Homeland Security. Now, the CIA knows that he’s in H City. I heard that they’ve issued a secret kill order!
