Chapter 1704

rt that this must have been a trick from Cheng Ruor. 。Otherwise, considering Gu Shao's feelings for his wife, how could he possibly agree to a divorce agreement 。Now Yang Zuo only hated that he couldn...Shenguan Nana hesitated. She rarely drank alcohol and wasn't sure what she'd be like after having some. Looking at the golden liquid in her glass, she felt conflicted inside.

Shen Jue saw through her thoughts at a glance. He opened his mouth softly, raising an eyebrow at her: "Don't worry, this wine isn't very strong, go ahead and drink it!"

Since everyone was saying it, she felt embarrassed to refuse and could only bring the cup to her lips and take a small sip. The bitter taste immediately spread throughout her mouth. How could anyone be so enamored with such a horrible drink

"You don't drink Then next time we won't come to places like this." Shen Jue looked at her expression, which was hard to describe, a playful little face almost contorted into a bitter gourd face.

Sheng Nana coughed a few times: "You shouldn't care about me so much. I always imagined that if we ever met, it would be like we were fighting and cursing each other. I never thought we'd be sitting here calmly at a table, drinking and chatting."

Shen Jue was still holding her wine glass, savoring it delicately. Her posture was elegant, like a royal noble from an 18th-century oil painting.

Shangguan Nana doesn't drink, she wouldn't make things difficult for herself any longer. She simply put down her wine glass, placed both hands on her chin, and sat politely across from Shen Jue, watching him savor his wine.

"By the way, what did you come to find my dad for I saw you in the elevator this morning, and there was something I wanted to ask you..." Shangguan Nana thought carefully. She still felt that this would be a good opportunity, one that might help Zhao Yino find out the truth about Gu's subsidiary being acquired.

Shen Jue was closing her eyes, feeling the sensation of alcohol blooming on her tongue: "Hmm, ask away."

"Why on earth would Teng Shang want to acquire Gu Shi's subsidiary" Shangguan Nana blinked at him, clearly eager for his answer.

"For money," Shen Jue's answer was always concise and to the point. These three words were simple yet irrefutable, because the truth was just that: mergers and acquisitions between companies ultimately boiled down to money.

Three words, she was completely speechless. Official Nana didn't know what to say at all. She pretended to be calm, picked up her wine glass and took another sip, then covered her mouth and started coughing violently.

Shen Jue picked up a teapot and poured her a glass of plain water. However, Shangguan Nana coughed so violently that even saying "thank you" felt like a chore. After half a lifetime, she managed to mumble out her gratitude: "Cough... cough... cough... Thank... thank you."

"Money, isn't that the goal everyone knows Similarly, hasn't a large part of this year's development been through acquiring other companies to obtain their stock earnings and gradually grow"

Shangguan Nana could only nod in agreement. She also knew that the acquisition above her head was for money, but this wasn't what she meant at all. In her subconscious, she felt that Tengshang's repeated acquisitions of Gu's subsidiaries were actually trying to destroy Gu step by step. Moreover, Tengshang's acquisitions did not stop when profits were obtained, but instead intensified. Their plan was still progressing step by step, and Gu's enterprise was being acquired step by step.

Shangguan Nana knew there was more to it than just "money". However, she didn't know how to ask and couldn't bring herself to voice her questions. To him, she was the woman who had rejected his proposal, causing him great shame.

If it were her who was jilted, she might never forget, or forgive the person involved. So she completely understood Shen Ji's feelings right now. She couldn't even imagine how much heart it would take for someone to let go of the past completely, and to lower their guard around her.

She held the white water Shen Jue had poured for her, its lukewarm temperature like the man before her, giving her a warm and gentle feeling. However, she didn't dare to trust him easily. She didn't know if this was a deliberate act of pretense to deceive her, a facade of humility. She couldn't be sure if the man before her was truly as gentle and refined as the white water he offered, devoid of any danger.e him and said in a low voice. 。Ling Chen looked at her, his heart filled with gratitude. 。Zhou Yang on the side remained silent throughout, his expression was very calm. 。She had long known in her...
