Chapter 962: Resignation Ceremony. Old Master Gu Has Another Thing To Announce!

Huo Zhi looked at the crowd. “Ms. Gu is already involved in the internal affairs of Jijing Island. In a week’s time, I will hold a formal resignation ceremony at the Council House.”

No one said a thing, but there was a clear feeling that there were some changes coming.

When Huo Zhi steps down, Jijing Island was going to change…

The Gu family had made its comeback.

They simply relied on Gu Mang, someone who had returned from outside.

There were so many talents on Jijing Island and they used the best resources to groom them for so many years. Yet, they were no match to Gu Mang, who had been living off the island all this time.

The Head Elder announced, “Ms. Gu will be the new director. I’m sure everyone has witnessed her capabilities.”

In the past, there may still be many people who had not taken Gu Mang seriously.

But after the commotion yesterday, no one dared to doubt Gu Mang’s ability now.

Ye Junci tapped her fingers.

Were they not going to give Gu Mang Base 102 but let her take over the role of the Director instead?

The Bai family was also exceptionally quiet.

The Head Elder continued, “We have another thing to announce and I shall now pass the time to Old Master Gu to do it.”

It was odd that Old Master Gu had appeared here.

Now that the Head Elder said so, everyone looked over at the old man.

Old Master Gu had not sat in this seat in many years. As he looked down at the audience, it was as if he had returned back to power like before.

In his old, dark, sharp eyes, an ambitious feeling flashed past.

Old Master Gu looked friendly. “My granddaughter Gu Mang was engaged to Huo Zhi long ago. We have never made a public announcement about this formally, so the resignation ceremony will also be their formal engagement banquet.

With that, it sparked an uproar in the crowd again.

If Huo Zhi is engaged to Gu Mang, then what’s the point in Huo Zhi stepping down or not?

Aren’t they just changing the left arm for the right arm?

Elder Ye looked at Ye Junci. “Madam, wh-”

Ye Junci did not speak. She stared at Old Master Gu.

Old Master Bai and Bai Zhang exchanged glances, their gazes heavy.

Bai Zhang said coldly, “Shouldn’t Gu Mang be here for such an important matter?”

There, only Old Master Bai and Bai Zhang had the right to comment about the engagement banquet.

When Old Master Gu heard this, he answered with a kind expression. “Gu Mang’s parents are no longer with us. It is only right that her marriage affairs are decided by me, her grandfather.”

…

When Ye Junci got out of the car, the anger was clear on her face.

“He planned all of this.” Ye Junci took a cigarette and a lighter, then she hesitated for a moment and slapped the armrest.

It had been very long since Elder Ye last saw Ye Junci this mad.

In the front seat, the chauffeur stayed silent. He wound up the partition and started the engine. Then, he drove towards the Ye residence.

Ye Junci sneered. “His feud with Gu Mang has long spread across the four big families. Now, he’s just relying on Gu Mang’s family name. He probably has never thought of giving up his power.”

At the end of the day, Huo Zhi was still an outsider.

That old thing was just using Gu Mang as a puppet now. If she took over the Director’s seat, it would boost the Gu family’s pride.

The powers would still be in the hands of Huo Zhi.

Huo Zhi obeyed every command from Old Master Gu. It was no different from Old Master Gu being in full control of the entire Jijing Island.

Elder Ye pondered. “Ms. Gu is not such a predictable person.”

Although he had not interacted much with Ms. Gu, he could tell that Ms. Gu was not someone to be messed with.

Also, she was now pregnant too.

“He’s fighting for my son’s wife.” Ye Junci rubbed the ivory lighter and stared at the back of the front seat. “The Ye family has been keeping too low a profile these years.”

Elder Ye stayed silent.

…

At the capital.

The moment Lu Chengzhou returned, he went to the Blood Institute.

Yu Zhongjing’s medicine research team had completely merged with the Blood Institute team.

The Blood Institute was very large.

Yu Zhongjing just took his lab research data and his team over.

Lu Chengzhou provided him with endless funds.

His wealth was shocking.

Yu Zhongjing started another medical research project with the money that Gu Mang gave him.
