Chapter 1229: The Story of My Wife and I

On the large display that had been replaced for the occasion, it showed the original share prices of Xin Cheng Energy, which was being publicly disclosed by Gu Enterprise for the first time. The data also initially indicated that Gu Enterprise seemed to be buying a pig in a poke.

No matter what his intention was, this was a formal speech and Gu Juexi was a professional at it. The man, standing tall and handsome in the middle of the stage, was the main event. The rest of the people there were just accessories.

“I suppose our Economics students would find this case study familiar. When Xin Cheng Energy started its bidding, everyone figured that only a fool would invest in this project. Everyone was skeptical about the unusually high budget. Everyone, including Gu Enterprise, suspected it was intentional.”

Gu Juexi pressed his hands onto the podium and scanned the students below with one sweeping glance. “But—” Gu Juexi paused and pointed at his eyes. “When you are managing a business, you don’t use this, but, this.” Gu Juexi moved his finger to his head and stopped there.

“It feels like your man is crushing everyone below,” Xiao Yaojing whispered in Ye Yuwei’s ear.

Ye Yuwei nodded in agreement.

When she heard Gu Juexi give a speech for the first time, she was hidden in a far corner in a crowded hall. At that moment, everyone else were just shadows to her as her eyes were on Gu Juexi alone.

Now, she sat in the first row. No one was blocking her view, but her eyes were still only on him.

Many years ago, this had been her dream.

Many years later, she wanted to say to her old self, “See? Your dream has come true.”

“During my first speech, my wife was there. I don’t remember anything I said that day, but my wife remembers it well. That day, I said that a company with integrity will never collapse.”

Ye Yuwei leaned back in her chair. Her son mumbled, “Arrogant.”

Ye Yuwei smiled and patted her son’s head gently. As she looked at Gu Juexi, a lot of their shared memories and the things that they had endured over the years flashed through her mind. The video at the Qian Feng Enterprise banquet, the notebook she had torn, the memories she had wanted to get rid of.

“Perhaps that statement was wrong,” Gu Juexi said casually.

An uproar resonated across the auditorium. Xiao Yaojing turned to look at Ye Yuwei in confusion.

Ye Yuwei tilted her head and frowned. What was wrong with the statement?

“For a company that begins its establishment with integrity, without a humble and modest leader, its integrity will wear out over time. Society will not tear down the company, but time will,” Gu Juexi said, raising his hand. PA Wen saw the signal and opened a chart. The line on the chart was obvious, that Gu Enterprise had had a flat and even decreasing trend for several years.

Had Gu Enterprise’s shares fallen?

This was news to everyone.

“Strange, isn’t it? Gu Enterprise is so prominent in the eyes of the outside world, but in reality, our shares fluctuated terribly for six years,” Gu Juexi continued, straightening his spine. “Therefore, today, I’m not going to tell you about how I excelled with Xin Cheng Energy, but I want to share the story of my wife and I.”

Ye Yuwei’s eyes widened and she recoiled in shock. What was that troublemaker talking about? Was this the beginning of his troublemaking?

Xiao Yaojing cleared her throat in secondhand embarrassment. She glared at Ye Yuwei and huffed, “Do you and your man intend to suffocate everyone in this hall with your love story?”

Ye Yuwei looked at Xiao Yaojing stiffly and managed an awkward smile.
