Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Opening Business 2_1

"Who knows." He Zhilan shook her head, "Can you ask your secretary to return it to the Gu Family later? Tell them the gift from the Gu Family is too valuable. I know very well that I don’t have much of a relationship with them, so I don’t dare to accept it."

"Okay." Lin Chan laughed, "You’re more considerate than I had imagined. I was worried that you would humiliate the Gu Family on the spot!"

"I’m not that stupid. If I really offended the Gu Family, not only would the Gu Family deal with me, but also a bunch of people under them. They all would scramble to handle me." He Zhilan gave a light smile, then said, "But really, if I accepted something from the Gu Family, even if it was just a needle, I would feel uncomfortable!"

In the evening, He Zhilan held a banquet at the hotel as a gesture of gratitude to all the people who came to support her. She also wanted to take this opportunity to meet more people.

During the banquet, Lin Chan’s assistant returned the gifts that the Gu Family had given earlier back to them, in the same condition as they were received.

After hearing what He Zhilan had said from Lin Chan’s assistant, Grandma Gu looked at Gu’s mother and said, "It seems Gu En’s classmate is resolutely not going to associate with our Gu Family. I guess she would have directly refused this gift if she hadn’t considered our family’s influence."

"She didn’t want a dime from the Gu Family even after Xiao’en almost took her life. It’s normal that she won’t accept this kind of indirect compensation." Mother Gu responded, then sighed, "However, now that she stands with Xing Ye, she is considered one of his people. Lan Li’s comrade in arms, her brother He Teng, will likely side with Xing Ye as well. I heard that He Teng had contact with Xing Ye when he was in S Province."

"I don’t know what kind of prospects her Fang Therapy Pavilion and Lanteng Company hold. Xing Ye already has Lin Chan as an economic power. If He Zhilan develops further and becomes another economic power for Xing Ye, I’m afraid it won’t be good for our Gu Family." Grandma Gu looked worried.

The world can be truly pragmatic at times. Power respects power, wealth respects wealth. People naturally idolize those who can bring them more benefits.

Even though we talk about power struggles, without money, it’s nothing but a blank paper drawing a pie to fool others, isn’t it?

The Gu Family doesn’t quite understand what kind of development prospects He Zhilan’s Lanteng Company will have. After all, this is an unheard-of industry at home and a nascent one abroad.

At the banquet, He Zhilan didn’t know what the Gu Family was thinking about. Tonight, she was the star of the banquet. She was dressed in a floor-length cream-colored evening gown with her black hair casually resting on her shoulders. With pearl hair accessories, she stood there like a goddess.

"How gorgeous!" Chen Yun looked at He Zhilan and repeatedly marveled, "It’s a shame He Mutou didn’t see you like this!"

"Are you afraid he won’t see? By tomorrow, our Zhilan will be in the newspapers. Lin Chan said she would take up half a page. You really are generous!" Bian Muhe said, "Now, you, He Zhilan, are famous, the future young female entrepreneur of the capital!"

"Mock me all you like. If it wasn’t for Yan Wei, a friend of Lin Chan’s, helping me with this outfit, I wouldn’t have known what I would look like now." He Zhilan laughed softly and then explained, "Tomorrow’s promotion is the final pre-launch promotion. Many people are still unfamiliar with the products of Fang Therapy Pavilion. So, half a page in tomorrow’s paper will focus on the product’s effectiveness and safety. Newspapers have a high readership, and the large amount of space will easily attract people’s attention."

"Plus, with you as the beautiful boss, people will find it hard not to notice, even if they don’t want to!" Lin Chan came over from behind and continued, laughing, "I wonder if He Mutou will feel threatened. Our Zhilan is beautiful, talented, not to mention a college student from Capital University, but also a beautiful girl who can make money. I guess, at this moment, many men in Capital are setting their sights on you!"
