Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Zhaoming fell into a brief silence. Though this child seemed quite compliant, why did his smile seem somewhat conspicuous?

Observing Feng Jue’s affectionate gaze, Ruan Xueling sighed, “To pick out a rare glass-type imperial jade from three stones as a newcomer, your luck is truly remarkable.”

Gu Pei stood there in disbelief for a moment, unable to comprehend. Eventually, he gestured with two fingers to indicate the size of the jade and exclaimed, “Seriously? Seven figures? Glass-type imperial jade. To me, it looks like a green beer bottle.”

Gu Yang shifted uncomfortably, unsure how to respond.

The entire family fell into a stunned silence as Gu Pei proceeded to extract a bottle of beer from the fridge for comparison. “See? Isn’t it quite similar?”

Feng Jue remained speechless, unsure how to counter.

Gu Zhaoming, holding his forehead in exasperation, couldn’t bear to watch Gu Pei’s antics. Turning to Ruan Xueling, he suggested with a grave expression, “Xueling, perhaps we should arrange for him to attend a jewelry and jade appreciation class during the summer break?”

Ruan Xueling nodded in agreement. “Yes, it’s necessary. Considering our family’s involvement in the jewelry business, it’s embarrassing that he lacks knowledge in this area. If this gets out, it’ll surely be a source of ridicule.”

Gu Zhaoming declared, “It’s settled then. Gu Pei will attend a month of classes and intern at Xueyao Jewelry for another month.”

Gu Pei, clutching the cold beer bottle, shivered. “Wait, what? Dad, Mom, my summer break is only two months! How can you plan everything out like this?”

“I still have training sessions at the club and eSports competitions to attend. I have a lot on my plate.”

Despite Gu Pei’s protests, his objections were ultimately overruled.

Meanwhile, Ruan Xueling personally crafted a dress and jewelry for Gu Yang and Gu Jin, while Gu Zhaoming presented his daughters with keys to the house.

In a significant move, Gu Zhaoming orchestrated the acquisition of both Wang Corporation and Huanyu Entertainment.

Following Wang Yunxin’s involvement in a car accident, the Wang Corporation’s reputation plummeted as they coerced employees into donating blood and taking drugs alongside Wang Yunxin and Brother Long, sparking a scandal. Internal power struggles further weakened the company.

In a strategic collaboration, Gu Zhaoming and Zhu Qi maneuvered to poach all the artists and executives from Huanyu Entertainment amidst the chaos, capitalizing on scandals and underhanded dealings. After relentless efforts spanning over half a year, the Wang Corporation ultimately succumbed to bankruptcy.

Following the bankruptcy of the Wang family, Gu Zhaoming and Zhu Qi embarked on the process of acquiring the Wang conglomerate and its subsidiaries.

Amidst negotiations, Wang Qingli, the current chairman of the Wang Corporation’s second branch, attempted to leverage a recording involving dealings with Wang Qingde and Wang Yunxin to dissuade Gu Zhaoming from proceeding with the acquisition.

However, during the playback of the recording, something peculiar occurred: instead of incriminating conversations, a cheerful child’s rendition of “Happy Birthday” filled the room.

Wang Qingli was left utterly dumbfounded, repeatedly verifying that he hadn’t somehow played the wrong recording.

Gu Zhaoming burst into laughter, realizing his original plan to counter Wang Qingli had become obsolete.

Subsequently, Wang Qingli grasped the futility of his failed attempt and recognized the irreversibility of the Wang Corporation’s bankruptcy. In a fit of rage, he sought to drag the Gu Group down with him.

He enlisted the help of Xin Shuiyun, an undercover operative who had previously infiltrated Zhaofeng Entertainment, to orchestrate a scheme implicating the upper echelons of Zhaofeng Entertainment in drug concealment and distribution.

Given Xin Shuiyun’s tenure within Zhaofeng Entertainment, gaining access to the company’s higher-ups proved challenging. However, she had diligently cultivated a rapport with Wei Yueqiao, preparing for this pivotal moment.

Utilizing Wei Yueqiao’s connection to Ye Qingyin, Zhaofeng Entertainment’s top manager, Xin Shuiyun finagled her way into Ye Qingyin’s office. Seizing an opportune moment when another high-ranking manager, Han Xi, was also present, Xin Shuiyun discreetly spiked their beverages with drugs.

Subsequently, she clandestinely stashed a quantity of drugs within the office premises.

These illicit substances, originally hidden by Wang Yunxin, remained undiscovered until then, providing Wang Qingli with a strategic advantage.
