Young Master Feng, Your Lady Has Stunned the World! -Novel - Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Uncle Li Went on Stage to Make an Announcement

Lin Yu said, “I’ll drink it on your behalf. You’re still recovering from the surgery.”

Of course, Gu Chu didn’t plan to drink at all. She stuffed the wine glass directly into Lin Yin’s hand. “Drink with your brother.”

“Shouldn’t you ask CEO Feng to drink on your behalf?” Lin Yin asked. “Has he sent you his congratulations?”

“Not yet.” Gu Chu glanced at her phone. It was almost nine o’clock.

The person in charge of the banquet walked over to Uncle Li and said softly, “CEO Li, it’s about time.”

It was time to go on stage to give a speech and kick off the event.

Uncle Li frowned. “Where’s the chairman?”

“I’ve already asked someone to look for him just now, but he hasn’t been found yet. I couldn’t get through to him on the phone, but the security guard said that he saw the chairman driving away. I don’t know if he’ll be back.”

It wasn’t the right time to leave at the moment. He was supposed to go on stage.

He asked, “what did Mrs. Gu say?”

…

“She said that she never cared about the company’s matters.”

“Forget it, I’ll speak,” Uncle Li said. “Call Miss Gu over.”

The person-in-charge walked to Gu Chu’s side and whispered a few words.

Gu Chu stood up. At this time, the music in the hall had been turned down. The lights were also dimmed and were focused on the stage.

Uncle Li stood on the stage. “First of all, on behalf of the Gu Corporation, I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to attend.”

Below the stage, Pei Xin frowned. “Where’s uncle?”

Lu Shen looked around, but did not see Mr. Gu.

On the stage, Uncle Li explained, “Chairman Gu is not feeling well, so he’s going to rest for a while. In order not to delay everyone’s time, let me make the announcement.”

“The former director of the Department of Commerce, Gu Chu, is outstanding in her work. She has received high praise from the senior management and partners. The board of directors has decided that she will be promoted to vice president with immediate effect!”

An assistant carried a tray onto the stage with the vice president’s official seal placed on it.

Applause erupted from the crowd.

Uncle Li said, “Vice President Gu, please come over.”

Gu Chu lifted the hem of her skirt and walked onto the stage. The applause became even more enthusiastic.

Uncle Li took out the microphone. “Gu Chu, please say a few words.”

Gu Chu pursed her lips into a smile. The door suddenly opened.

A rumbling sound startled everyone.

The person who had barged in was in a sorry state. He was panting heavily. His hair, which was carefully groomed, was now in a mess.

“Who is he?” Someone asked.

Some recognized him. “I thought it was odd that Chairman Wang didn’t come today. How did you end up like this? Did you encounter a robbery on the way?”

“I didn’t get mugged, I got kidnapped!” Chairman Wang stroked his hair and glared at Gu Chu.

Gu Chu furrowed her brows and looked at Lin Yu below the stage. Didn’t they send him away?

Lin Yu was equally puzzled. Since he got away, why was there no news from the driver and secretary?

Feng Huai looked at everything in front of him leisurely.

He leaned against the white stone pillar and the pastry in his hand.

Then, he saw Lin Yu chasing after Chairman Wang.

Although he did not know what Lin Yu was doing when he saw him send him away, he knew that it must be important.

Therefore, he sent someone to save Chairman Wang.

What’s the fun if there were no surprises?

No one took Chairman Wang’s words seriously. Instead, they smiled and said, “If you’re late, you’re late. Just drink a few glasses as punishment.”

“Chairman Wang, please sit down and rest first. We’re still in the middle of the speech,” Uncle Li said. “Vice President Gu…”

Chairman Wang suddenly said, “wait a minute!”

Uncle Li looked at him in annoyance. “it’s Ms. Gu’s promotion ceremony. It’s not appropriate for you to interrupt her, is it?”

“I know that tonight is a big event for Gu Chu, but as a director of the Gu Corporation, I have the right to ask a few questions, right?”

The laughter of the guests gradually disappeared, and they looked at each other. As soon as he said this, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.

Actually, Gu Chu did not know what Chairman Wang wanted to do, she knew enough to send him away.

But since he had returned, she could only face it head-on.

In any case, she had a clear conscience.

“Director Wang, what would you like to ask me? I’m all ears,” Gu Chu said into the microphone, neither servile nor aggressive.

Director Wang said, “Everyone knows that Ms. Gu has an excellent education. Moreover, she is the daughter of the Gu family. A normal person at this age has only just graduated two or three years ago. How could she reach the position of vice president at such a young age?”
