Chapter 1228 - Someone Actually Dared To Disobey

“We’ll talk about these things after a hundred days!” While saying this, Gu Jingyu had pressed himself on her firmly...

—

They had yet to find Gu Jingze, but some people in the Gu family were already starting to get restless.

Xue Mengqi followed everyone to attend a meeting together. On the way, someone looked in front at the Gu family’s headquarters in the distance and said, “I really can’t imagine what the situation will look like with that entertainer sitting there.”

Another person said, “Just thinking about it makes me feel sick. Her sitting on the master’s seat...”

“We can’t let that happen today. We must pull her down from that position today. Why should she be the one sitting there?”

However, Xue Mengqi stayed completely silent at the back. It was only at the end of the meeting that she said coolly to everyone, “Don’t be impatient. She doesn’t know anything. It’s only right that we yield to her.”

“She knows nothing but she’s still sitting in that position. Why should she be there? No way. Regardless, I won’t agree to it no matter what.”

Xue Mengqi’s calm and mild words made them even more furious.

With that, they entered the headquarters in a row.

The place where Gu Jingze usually sat was now occupied by Lin Che.

She was dressed in a simple outfit and was no different from how she usually was. But for some reason, maybe because she was sitting there, there was a hint of faint harshness on her brow.

While looking straight ahead expressionlessly, she threw the documents directly onto the table.

“Since Gu Jingze has left, all of us aren’t doing anything, right?”

She did not know if they were deliberately making things difficult for her.

Lin Che could tell that these people had basically been on strike for the past few days. They had not handed up any reports at all. They had not handed up any of the documents that were part of the usual practice.

Were they deliberately putting her in her place by doing this?

After she had slammed the documents on the table, everyone’s hearts thumped.

Xue Mengqi looked at her. Qin Hao was standing beside her and her secretary stood beside the huge office chair. There was a stack of papers in the secretary’s hands. She took the documents from the secretary with one hand. Her attitude with that simple move was slightly overbearing...

The master of the Gu family had so much capital being transferred to and fro under his hands. He had so many people around him helping him to plan. He was like an emperor of a kingdom. With a raise or drop of his hand, he could control the entire lives of so many people.

Putting all else aside, just the people sitting in this room alone already possessed half the wealth in C Nation.

These people were all clan relatives of the Gu family.

But now, they had to listen to her command.

Thus, she had no choice but to appear imposing.

Regardless of who it was, the person on the seat literally became the symbol of money. After all, that was the apex of the entire kingdom.

Standing there was like standing at the top of the world.

How could Xue Mengqi not want to sit there? But unfortunately, she was a clan relative. No matter what, she could not climb to that position.

That was why she wanted the position of the mistress so much. That way, she could still get closer to that place.

But look at the current situation. She had plotted for so long to become the mistress but she had unexpectedly failed.

On top of that, she had to watch this detestable woman sit at the top with all the King’s horses and all the King’s men at her command.

She genuinely felt insane jealousy.

The people below looked at Lin Che and scoffed coldly. “Eh. No one reminded us to hand up anything to anyone.”

“Precisely. Besides, there are some important and confidential documents. We don’t know if we should or shouldn’t hand them up either.”

“On top of that, we don’t know whether or not you understand them.”

“My point exactly.”

Lin Che laughed grimly. “So, all of you are defying the Gu family’s rules and planning to retaliate against the Gu family’s order?”

Anyone who defied the Gu family’s rules would be severely punished.

Some people came out barely alive after going in.

There was no exception.

This extended upwards to the master and downwards to all the clan relatives.

Thus, at the mention of the family rules, everyone was still fearful to a certain extent.

They looked at each other before looking at Lin Che. “But you’re not the master.”

Lin Che said, “I’ve already said that I will take over the master’s position for the time being.”

“Ha. You’re the master because you say so?”

Someone stood up and said bluntly, “You didn’t ask for our opinion the last time too. You simply said that you were going to be the temporary substitute for the master and take charge of the headquarters. Why should you be the one to take charge just because you say so? You should at least gather everyone’s opinion and discuss it with us.”

“Huh. Fine. In that case, let’s discuss.” Lin Che had already predicted that they would definitely cause trouble when they came today.

She stood up slowly and looked at the people down below. “Now, I’m telling you that I will step into the shoes of the master. Who’s going to oppose?”

Many of the people below raised their hands.

Lin Che cast a sweeping glance at them. Majority of these people were those who would stand on the Xue family’s side.

“Alright. Well then, how many people vote in favor of it?”

She could count on her fingers the number of people who raised their hands. It was obvious that they were all from Gu Jingze’s camp. There were also a few people who, considering their own interests, felt that it was better for her to be in that position instead of the Xue family.

Meanwhile, the corners of Xue Mengqi’s lips started to quirk up slightly. While looking at these people, she stealthily switched to a better position and sat down. She appeared very happy to watch the fun.

At this moment.

“I vote in favor.” Gu Jingyu suddenly walked in from the back.

Seeing this, everyone thought, He was here to stir up trouble again...

“I vote in favor too.”

However, Gu Jingming also came in after him.

He walked in with large strides, appearing extremely calm.

“Oh. This place is so lively today. I’m here just in time to join in the fun.” The person who entered behind him was Black Hawk.

When they saw that Black Hawk had entered the headquarters, everyone immediately stood up, surprised.

“Lin Che, what do you mean by this? Letting an outsider enter the Gu family’s headquarters.”

Lin Che looked at them before looking at Black Hawk. “I never told them to come here.”

Black Hawk said, “Exactly. Lin Che didn’t tell me to come. But I knew the location of the Gu family’s headquarters anyway because Gu Jingze brought me here before.”

They were still afraid of Black Hawk as a person. This person had always been vicious and merciless. Who knew what he would do to hurt them?

It was true that Lin Che dared not lay a hand on them. But this was not necessarily so for Black Hawk.

Black Hawk said, “Gu Jingze brought me here because he trusts me. It has nothing to do with Lin Che.”

“Ha. Everyone knows that she’s your younger sister. How can your presence here have nothing to do with her?”

“Oh, so you guys know that she’s my younger sister. And now, you’re still going to bully my younger sister in front of me?”

What did he mean? What was he going to do?

Black Hawk cocked his head to the side and said, “I’m on Lin Che’s side. Lin Che and Gu Jingze are married, to begin with. Since they’re a couple, it doesn’t matter which one of them is the master. They agreed on it after discussing amongst themselves. Now, all of Gu Jingze’s subordinates have absolute trust in Lin Che. All of you are in no place to distrust her.”

“Ha. Why should an outsider like you have a say in these matters?” Someone stood up and shouted.

Just then, Gu Jingyu said from behind, “Oh. Black Hawk is an outsider, but I definitely can’t be one right? I also vote in favor of having Lin Che take over the position of the master temporarily.”
