I am not just a tycoon

Zhao Donghua introduced the third person, Shen Yuan's hand paused, and he took a glance at this man.

About forty years old, well-maintained among these high-level executives, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, very scholarly.

Gu Dongliang showed a humble smile, his hand hung in the air, facing Shen Yuan's scrutiny, he felt uneasy.

This is the first time we meet, I hope I haven't offended President Shen.

After a two-second pause, Shen Yuan shook his hand, "Mr. Gu, you've raised a good son."

"President Shen, you know my son?"

A trace of delight flashed in Gu Dongliang's eyes. If his son had a good relationship with President Shen, he might have a chance to connect with him, and his career could experience a renaissance.

At his level, there are many sources of insider information. Shen Yuan, only 22 years old, already possesses so many industries. His background and resources are unimaginable to them.

"Kind of."

Shen Yuan didn't give him much attention and turned to the next person.

Zhao Donghua led Shen Yuan to tour the headquarters. In fact, it was a small meet-and-greet, to familiarize the executives with faces, rejecting Lao Zhao's dinner invitation. Shen Yuan was sent down to the basement and got into the back seat of the Phantom.

The executives stood and watched until the Phantom disappeared from sight. Then someone sighed, "President Shen is indeed young and capable."

At this age, it's impossible to reach this level, but they couldn't dig up Shen Yuan's background, indicating his backing is hugely powerful.

"Indeed."

Everyone agreed.

....

Gu Dongliang's eyes blazed, he dialed Gu Junchen immediately after getting into the car, "Junchen, have you set off yet? Let me ask you something, do you know President Shen?"

The person on the other end was stunned, "President Shen?"

Gu Dongliang impatiently said, "Shen Yuan, about your age."

Gu Junchen thought carefully, "I know Shen Fei, but not Shen Yuan."

"Think harder."

A person of this caliber knowing his son, how could his son not know him? Gu Dongliang didn't believe it.

"Really don't know him."

"Useless trash."

Gu Junchen: "?"

"We'll talk in person."

Gu Dongliang hung up the phone unhappily, started the Mercedes S450L and headed to the restaurant.

He booked a private dining room at Junting Chinese Restaurant, a high-end restaurant in Lu District, combining premium seafood and Hunan cuisine, and the river-view private room overlooks the Xiangjiang River.

But just five minutes before he arrived, Shen Yuan also reached the same restaurant.

"Boss, should I go up?" Tan Xin turned to ask.

"Go ahead, you might be useful later."

Both got out of the car, Shen Yuan booked a private dining room next to theirs, ordered some dishes for Tan Xin to eat.

Tan Xin felt puzzled, when the dishes arrived, the boss didn't eat, just urged her to eat quickly.

At this moment, Shen Yuan received documents from Chenlang Law Firm and Silver Shield Security, Gu Junchen was very clean, without even any club consumption records.

As for his father Gu Dongliang, nothing conspicuous, at most a little profiteering, it's normal to earn some under-the-table money at this level.

But his private behavior made Shen Yuan frown.

Damn it, playing this kind of perversion?

Really a hypocrite.

Turns out the problem wasn't the son, but the father. No wonder he's trying to forcibly match Zhou Peiwei with his son, he's eyeing the mother and daughter.

Sister Peiwei was already vetted by Shen Yuan, no need to mention, her mother must still have charm, otherwise, Gu Dongliang wouldn't be so eager.

Damn, not only eying the daughter-in-law but also the mother-in-law?

Shameless, truly shameless!

Shen Yuan saw such shamelessness for the first time, he could only play around, couldn't possibly go this far.

At this moment, in the next private dining room, Zhou Peiwei felt unusually irritated.

Her parents sat on either side of her, while opposite were Gu Junchen and his parents.

Just have a simple meal and end it, but Gu Dongliang talked the most nonsense, making it seem he's the one matchmaking, not his son.

Moreover, his gaze at her felt off.

"Lao Zhou, come, let's have a drink."

Gu Dongliang raised his glass with a smile, "Lao Zhou, you've raised a good daughter. It mustn't have been easy to cultivate such a gem, this drink is my toast to you."

"Not at all, Mr. Gu. My daughter certainly isn't as impressive as your son, he is truly young and capable."

Zhou Guoqiang lowered his glass and clinked it with Gu Dongliang, then drank it all.

Despite saying he was toasting, Gu Dongliang only sipped a little after seeing Zhou Guoqiang finish, then said, "Speaking of young and capable, today Mr. Shen is the real deal."

"You met Mr. Shen?"

With Zhou Guoqiang's rank, he couldn't attend the shareholders' meeting, not even the small gatherings.

But he had sources of info, knowing this new shareholder had a strong background, many industries under his name, including shares in Chenlang Law Firm, Hemu Medical, Silver Shield Security, etc., with high stakes.

In contrast, Anke probably had the lowest share stakes.

Such a "bigwig," only in his twenties, with tales saying he was "a man of passion,"

Understandably, many Anke executives had affairs with mistresses; playing around at such a level was normal.

Gu Dongliang nodded, "Sure, with aristocratic demeanor, about my son's age, but my son is far inferior to him."

"Mr. Shen must be from a distinguished background, but your son is already the best among young people. Nowadays, how many from wealthy families can still strive to get into Wuda?"

Zhou Guoqiang flattered, implying Mr. Shen relied on his family, but Gu Junchen relied on himself.

Mr. Shen? Must be Shen Yuan. Zhou Peiwei thought Shen Yuan mentioned helping her with this mess last night, could he have started already?

Moved so fast, plus he's Anke's shareholder, why didn't he mention it?

Just ask.

Zhou Peiwei immediately messaged Shen Yuan under the table.

"Junchen, your Uncle Zhou is praising you, go on, toast him."

Gu Dongliang glanced at his son. Gu Junchen rarely attended drinking parties, feeling a bit ill at ease, holding up his glass to toast Zhou Guoqiang.

"Uncle Zhou, to you."

"No need for uncle, call him dad soon."

Gu Dongliang smiled aside, "Guoqiang, Xiaoyan, I always felt our families match well, working in the same company, becoming in-laws would benefit our future development. I believe the kids will fall in love over time, feelings can be cultivated gradually."

While saying this, his gaze moved between Zhou Peiwei and Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan kept fit and maintained her skin well, even at this age her figure hadn't changed, full of charm, with a mature grace, alluring like a tiger.

Her daughter even surpassed her, his foolish son couldn't match such a woman.

Zhou Peiwei frowned, what nonsense is he spouting? Do you think a few words will make me marry his son?

Spit!

Zhou Guoqiang didn't know Gu Dongliang's thoughts, but his words implied agreement, offering an uncertain promise, which he wouldn't accept.

Even if he agreed, his daughter would reject it.

Zhou Guoqiang, considering Gu Dongliang's face, diplomatically said, "Mr. Gu, we'll seriously consider it, they do seem compatible, primarily my daughter is mischievous and hard to control when she's stubborn, haha."

"Marriage will solve everything; just let them interact more."

Gu Dongliang casually moved on, raised his glass toward Xu Xiaoyan: "Future mother-in-law, we've met a few times, always felt a connection, let's have a drink."

Xu Xiaoyan had to raise her glass, not knowing business matters but clearly understanding that Gu Dongliang, with a higher rank than her husband, couldn't be offended.

Gu Dongliang then discussed Anke matters, being the R&D director, always proud and boastful, drawing more promises for Zhou Guoqiang's future growth, saying Anke can't lack people like him.

Zhou Guoqiang, seasoned in the workplace, understood such empty promises but maintained surface flattery due to face.

Meanwhile, a knock was heard at the private room's door, everyone thought it was the dishes, then the door opened to reveal a young man with notable charisma.

Gu Dongliang was initially stunned but thought Shen Yuan's appearance was for his sake, given no one knew him.

He quickly stood to welcome, wearing a humble smile: "President Shen, didn't expect you here too. If I knew, I'd have invited you along."
