Chapter 1549 I“ll Choose to Resign

There was no need to say that they were sisters.Yu Minmin learned there. “Say it.”

“We all know that Mr. President adores you. But if Mr. President gives too much for you, the citizens will think that Mr. President pays too much attention to his family. It won’t reflect well on you.”

“Yeah, outsiders are saying that Mr. President abandoned his military discussion because of you. It doesn’t sound good.”

Yu Minmin closed her eyes.

However, just then.

The door opened, and Gu Jingming walked to the front.

The group of women got into a fright.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Only because when Gu Jingming entered, the atmosphere turned cold.

Panic filled the entire room.

Yu Minmin wanted to get up.

She was still relatively weak being in confinement.

Though she had taken quite a lot of medicine and was not as sunken looking, she still sweated a lot whenever she walked.

Gu Jingming hurried over in a few steps.

He grabbed hold of his wife and held onto her, allowing her to lean in his embrace.

“Jingming...”

Gu Jingming looked up. “Everyone, out.”

These words alone seemed deafening.

The group of women was scared stiff.

“We...”

“From now on, none of you are allowed to see my wife,” Gu Jingming said ruthlessly.

They felt like the air pressure became lower.

Gu Jingming commanded the guards, “Whoever doesn’t leave, send them out.”

So decisive!

Those who were there were part of the political board.

Those who were there all had something to do with Gu Jingming’s power.

However, Gu Jingming was so...

Was he too protective over Yu Minmin?

Gu Jingming touched her forehead. “I’m sorry, Minmin.”

Yu Minmin’s eyes filled with sorrow.

“Why are you apologizing? I’m sorry, I’m always dragging you down.”

Sometimes, Yu Minmin thought it wasn’t because her family was so ordinary...

“Your family has been attacked because of me. Because of me, I’ve drawn you into controversies. If not because of me, your life would be much more peaceful. Now that you’ve just given birth, it’s still because of me that these people are harassing you.”

Thinking about this, Gu Jingming clenched his fists even more.

Even more with ferocity.

Gu Jingming held onto her cheeks. “I will not let anyone force you into a corner again.”

With his words, Yu Minmin thought that no matter what happened, it was all worth it.

Gu Jingming carried Yu Minmin to the bed. He ordered his staff to look after her well.

He looked out as if he had already come to a decision.

During the General Assembly, in the great hall of the Glazed Tile Palace, everyone seated inside was someone who could make an impact on this country.

Gu Jingming was dressed in his military uniform, and he stood in the middle.

The green uniform looked extremely neat, and the shades of yellow made it look heroic.

He looked at everyone. “It’s been hard on everyone recently. I thank everyone who has sacrificed for the citizens. I also thank you for your cooperation with me. Together, we’ve safeguarded C Nation’s dignity and power. But now.”

His voice lowered a little, and under everyone’s surprised gaze, he took out a draft.

This was his own speech.

“But now, I think I no longer have the energy to take on the responsibilities for this country. For the better future of C Nation, I’ve decided to resign.”

There was an uproar.

What?

Gu Jingming wanted to resign?

—

“Sir, this was the First Young Master’s speech at the assembly just now. Quick take a look. It’s a mess out there.”

Gu Jingze received his staff’s report in the study room.

Gu Jingming had decided that after this round of war, he would officially tender his resignation.

Gu Jingze was silent.

“Sir, what should we do now?”

Qin Hao looked at him worriedly.

Gu Jingze said, “Let’s meet with my brother.”

The family got together.

This included some of the seniors of the Gu family.

Gu Jingming walked in and saw the group of them. He said, “I know, you guys are surprised at my decision. Now, not only the internal department knows about this. I’ve also given everyone time to look for a new President.”

Everyone was solemn. No matter what, it seemed like a difficult thing to find a new President.

“Jingze, you...”

“It’s impossible for me.” Gu Jingze immediately declined when someone tried to suggest the role to him.

“Brother doesn’t even have a blemish, and he could get pressured to this state. If I go...”

Gu Jingze’s hands were full of blood.

Although ordinary citizens might not know or not care, all these would be exposed if he became the President.

“Then...”

Everyone could not think of anyone who could help at that moment.

Just then, Gu Jingyan suddenly said, “Maybe we can get someone to take over first. I do have a suitable candidate, but he’s still too young. But he could be groomed to be the successor, and that’s not impossible.”

“Who?”

“Niannian.”

Gu Jingyan’s words left the rest stunned.

He really was too young.

The presidential candidate of C Nation was not inherited, but it was created for a lifetime.

So nobody would have any opinions about a President starting young.

If Gu Jingming took on the President’s role after becoming an adult, Niannian could do it too.

But...

Everyone looked at Gu Jingze with deep thoughts.

Gu Jingze said, “I need to think about it.”

Gu Jingyan said, “Though Niannian is still young, his way of thinking is not far from yours. He’s so young, and he already has such extraordinary capabilities. This shows that he won’t be an ordinary person in the future. You already know this from the start. So, you cared less whenever he did so many things in secret. You only hoped he would learn how to handle matters. I think he’ll be a suitable candidate. However, of course, it depends on him, if he’s interested at all.”

Gu Jingze said, “Since he needs nurturing, why not start from young? If there’s any problem or if someone doesn’t want to do it, then we still have a choice in the future.”

“True. Then, I’ll leave the nurturing of the successor to you guys.”

Gu Jingming relaxed and smiled. “If that’s the case, then my mind is at peace.”

When they went out, Gu Jingze looked at Gu Jingming. “Brother, have you made your decision?”

Gu Jingming looked at him. “This is the first time in so many years that I feel relaxed.”

He had been in the position for too many years and had always faced immense pressure.

At first, it was exciting but later, he realized what was more interesting than the power and responsibilities.

It was his family.

He wanted even more now to have his family be safe and comfortable, his wife and children to be without worries.
