Chapter 451: Softness Conquers Strength

de"Xiaoxin immediately lowered his head and silently turned to take the subway back to the law firm.Shu Tinglan bought a fruit basket to visit Yi Mu yang.After knocking and going in, I saw the person...Perhaps it was Shu Tinglan's illusion, but Lu Kuo's usual flamboyance seemed to have diminished somewhat in comparison to Gu Ruannu.

Lu Kuo had no experience taking care of girls, let alone someone like Gu Ruanruan who looked like a pampered heiress. Seeing that she ate little, he cursed inwardly and then took the public chopsticks to put some dishes on her plate. He said gruffly,

>"Eat more, or Lu Yaoyao will blame me for not taking good care of you."

This time Gu Ruanruan was very serious: “No, I’ll tell Yaoyao that you took good care of me and put a lot of dishes for me. Well, these calories are about 2000kcal, after eating it you can gain one kilogram. It's really well-intentioned.”

This sounded like a veiled jab, but seeing her genuine expression, it didn't seem like sarcasm. Lu Kuo was baffled, glanced at Zhuo Yu’an across from him, only to see him with a smirk that could be interpreted as either amusement or mockery. He then looked back at Shu Tinglan, who was trying hard not to laugh. At that moment, he realized he had been subtly ridiculed by this young girl.

"Don't you have a conscience I've been taking good care of you, and you don't even appreciate it."

"I'm being sincere, yaoyao said I was too thin, I should gain at least 5 jin to be just right, so what I just said was true." Gu Ruannuan's tone and expression were so genuine that Lu Kuo was confused again.

Well, never mind. It's up to you whether you want to eat it or not.

As a gesture of reciprocity, Gu Ruannuan also used the public chopsticks to pick up several dishes and place them on Lu Kuai's plate in front of him.

"It's even." She said.

Shu Tinglan observed that Gu Ruanruan was very clever. Although she seemed casual when she sat down at the table, she had remembered all of Lu Kuo's preferences and clipped the dishes he liked to eat on a daily basis onto his plate.

When Zhuo Yu'an sent Tinglan back to the law firm after dinner, she asked...

"Gu Ruirui, you knew her before, right"

Zhuo Yu'an thought for a moment, then spoke honestly: "My memory is hazy; I only remember that Lu Yaoyao had a playmate when she was young." He hadn't remembered many children of the same age who lived in the courtyard back then, let alone younger ones. He generally didn't interact much with them.

"Oh." She said nothing.

"What's wrong"

"Nothing much, just that I think Gu Ruirui is really smart, she's using softness to overcome strength. Didn't you see how helpless Lu Kuo was in front of her"

Zhuo Yu'an laughed: “That guy really needs someone to put him in his place.”

Actually, thinking back now, he and Cheng Chen really weren't a good match, right Cheng Chen has a pretty strong personality, doesn't know how to yield, and wouldn't know how to coax someone. But Lu Kuò is the kind of person who needs to be coaxed.

Zhuo Yu'an said with interest, "Can Gu Ruanruan coax people Didn't you see what she did to Lu Kuò"

"Anyway, you guys wouldn't understand," is a subtle reaction between men and women. You have to look carefully to see it. Gu Ruanruan spoke with an air of arrogance, but Lu Kuo didn't seem truly angry either. Moreover, Gu Ruanruan immediately served Lu Kuo his favorite dish, showing a conciliatory attitude.

"Ms. Shu, you're so perceptive now Back then, who was it that never caught my intentions"

"Well, you've finally come to your senses. It's a pity, though, that with all this talent, there's no chance to use it."

"Who do you want to use it on" Zhu Yu'an glanced at her in the passenger seat. Seeing that she smiled without answering, he said softly,

“It seems I haven't satisfied you enough, which has led you to think of other things.”

Shu Tinglan was speechless: "Can you speak properly"

Why is someone who appears so serious and composed in public like this around her And he seems to enjoy it. She still prefers the Zhu YUAN she shows to the outside world more.

"Get out of the car, we're here." He drove the car straight to the parking lot below the law firm because he was going to meet Gu Ruandong in a while and didn't send her upstairs. He watched her enter the security checkpoint of the building from the car before turning the car around and leaving.

Gu Ruandong's meeting with Zhu Yunan was primarily to discuss game development. The sticking point between them is that Gu Ruandong wants to directly invest in Zhuoyuan Technology to establish a game company and jointly develop and operate it. However, Zhu Yunan doesn't want Zhuoyuan Technology involved. His proposal is to acquire an existing game company and operate it independently.

Gu Ruandong looked at Zhu YUAN'an: "You should know that I chose to invest because I see the brand effect of Zhuoyuan Technology. Acquiring a game company alone and operating independently from scratch, what significance would there be for me to find you"

Zhu Yu'an also refused to back down: "Acquiring the game company is done in my personal capacity. In the future, I will personally oversee the entire technical team. I think the value of the three words 'Zhu Yu'an' is no less than that of Zhu Yuan Technology."

Zhu Yu'an always has principles. Zhuyuan Technology now affects the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people, and he cannot allow it to be mixed with any bad assets.

And as for the name Zhu Y uan, he only needed to answer to himself, and could be pitted against Gu Ruandong.

Gu Ruandong sat there, a wicked smile on his face: "Zhuo Yu'an, you are truly a boring person."

Zuo Yu'an remained noncommittal. Since he had decided to cooperate with Gu Ruandong, he had to accept Gu Ruandong's way of doing things. It would be best if they could find common ground while respecting their differences.

Gu Ruandong no longer insisted on his own idea. Zhu Yunan's style of doing things was within his expectations, so he reached out to him: "Then let's cooperate."

"Have a pleasant cooperation."

Although their styles differed greatly, there was one thing both agreed on: once they committed to something, it wasn't going to be small-time. They were going all out for the best, aiming for industry leadership. In this regard, their ambitions and goals were aligned.

Shu Tinglan learned through Lin Zhixuan that Zhu Yuyan planned to enter the gaming industry, and that it was a collaboration with Gu's Group.

She wasn't very familiar with the Gu Group, but she knew that its business empire was vast. As for Gu Ruandong, the head of the Gu Group, he was a legend whose name was widely known, but no one had ever seen his face. No photos of him had ever been leaked to the public.

“I heard from Fu Shenyi that Zhuo Yuan’s investors are in an uproar. They had always proposed making games, but Zhuo Yunan vetoed them all. Then he turned around and cooperated with Gu Group to establish a brand new game company. Not only the investors, but even the shareholders are very dissatisfied.”

Shu Tinglan was also curious: "He has always been wary of games. He thinks games are the opium of the modern world, so he's always opposed to Zhuo Yuan Technology doing this."

Shu Tinglan had never heard Zhu Yu'an mention Gu Group, nor did she know that he was going to cooperate with Gu Group to develop games. So, she found it quite strange. Of course, Zhu Yu'an didn't tell her everything about his business affairs, and it was normal for her not to know.

"Tinglan, Gu Shi Group's reputation outside is not good. Everyone who does legitimate business knows to stay away from Gu Ruandong. Your CEO Zhuo has always been upright. What happened this time Even Fu Shenyi can't figure it out."

"Are Zhuoyuan's shareholders making a big fuss"

"There's definitely going to be trouble. First, they feel that Zhuo Yuyan went behind their backs to start his own gaming company without being loyal. Second, they are worried that his collaboration with Gu Shi will damage the reputation of Zhuo Yuan Technology."an Binghuan's attention, so I occasionally poke his back while he's playing games with my finger. 。Yuan Binghuan was so focused on playing games that when Lu Yaoyao poked him, he just moved a little t...
