Ji Gao lowered his eyes. The pain in his leg came in waves, but he did not even dare to reach out and rub it.
“I know.” Ji Gao said in a hoarse voice, “It is… because of Huang Tu and Star Brilliance.”
When Old Master Ji heard this, he retracted his gaze from the garden and turned to look at Ji Gao, who was sitting not far away.
He grunted, and the sound seemed to come from deep within his nostrils, with a thick note of disdain.
“Previously, you promised me that nothing would go wrong this time.” Old Master Ji paused and looked at Ji Gao with a hint of disappointment. “But look at what you’ve done. It’s fine if you didn’t teach Gu Xiao a lesson, but Gu Xiao has benefited instead!”
He had never done such a thankless task in his life!
Back then, in order to teach Gu Xiao a lesson, he had given Ji Gao a lot of money. He had even given him a few favors that others had owed him. However, this outcome was really too ugly.
He even couldn’t help but want to return to the time before the matter happened. If he didn’t agree to Ji Gao’s actions, he could at least save some face.
Moreover, he had heard that this time, when something happened to Gu Xiao’s company, Chu An had overseen things in the company with Gu Xiao.
Even if Chu An wasn’t involved in this matter, Chu An’s status as the second young master of the Chu Corporation was enough to make people give him some face.
Especially after Gu Xiao and Chu An’s celebratory banquet, who in the circle did not know that Chu An’s status in the Chu family wasn’t as unimportant as outsiders thought.
On the contrary, Mr Chu, Mrs Chu, and the next head of the family all took Chu An seriously.
Now that Gu Xiao and Chu An had reconciled, it would probably be even more difficult for them to make a move next time!
When Ji Gao heard Old Master Ji mention this matter, the anger in his heart surged.
However, in front of Old Master Ji, he did not dare to express his true emotions.
“Dad, it’s true that I didn’t manage this matter well. But Dad, next time, next time, I will definitely give that girl, Gu Xiao…”
“Alright, there won’t be a next time!”
Before Ji Gao could finish his anxious promise, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Old Master Ji.
The rest of the words were stuck in his throat and he could no longer say them.
Old Master Ji glanced at Ji Gao and said indifferently, “Just stay at home obediently now. You don’t have to interfere in these matters.”
Now, he really could not trust Ji Jiao anymore.
He did not expect Ji Gao to fail even after so much help to deal with a company that had only been established for less than three years.
He had no choice but to believe that Ji Gao was probably really not talented in these matters.
After Old Master Ji called Ji Gao over to teach him a lesson, so that he would no longer be irritated by the sight of him, he let Ji Gao leave.
Ji Gao pursed his lips tightly, feeling a little impatient. However, facing the domineering Old Master Ji, he could only do as he was told.
After Ji Gao completely left the Ji family’s old residence, Old Master Ji’s originally straight back bent slightly, and his eyes seemed to become more and more turbid.
“How is the situation with Ji Chen?” Old Master Ji asked the butler.
The butler carefully glanced at Old Master Ji, but he couldn’t see his expression clearly. He didn’t know what news he wanted to hear.
After a few seconds of silence, he said respectfully, “Master, Young Master Ji Chen’s Radiant is doing well in terms of business, and has already won the contract with Liyang Company. At the same time…”
The butler told him everything he knew about Ji Chen’s company.
As he spoke, he paid attention to Old Master Ji’s expression. Seeing that the other party did not seem angry after hearing this news, he told him everything he knew.
Old Master Ji was not surprised by Ji Chen’s achievements, but when he heard the name of the company, “Liyang”, his eyes flashed.
After all, Liyang Company was a very good partner for industrial cooperation, but the requirements for cooperation were very strict. Even the Ji Group had only cooperated with Liyang two or three times over the years.
“Master, this is the general situation of Young Master Ji Chen’s company.”
After the butler finished talking about the situation in Ji Chen’s company, he could not help but remind Old Master Ji when he saw that he seemed to be in a daze..
