Ye Shaoting personally went to the lobby to welcome Gu Xiuyu.
The results of the bidding conference had not yet been announced, and Gu Xiuyu's sudden visit was a very good sign for the Ye Corporation.
"Mr. Gu."
"Mr. Ye, sorry for the intrusion."
The two men clasped hands.
Ye Shaoting led Gu Xiuyu into the elevator, his assistant following behind. "Mr. Gu, may I ask what brings you here today?"
The elevator stopped, and Gu Xiuyu stepped out. Standing on the president's floor, his gaze swept over the offices.
Was he here for Ye Ziyu?
Ye Shaoting's mind flashed back to the day of the bidding conference. Confirming his suspicion, he turned and instructed his assistant to call Ye Ziyu.
"Mr. Gu, let's go to my office first. We can talk at our leisure," Ye Shaoting said, gesturing for him to lead.
Upon arriving at the office, Ye Shaoting personally brewed two cups of coffee.
"Mr. Ye, I heard that Miss Ye was almost bullied?" Gu Xiuyu's first words were about Ye Ziyu.
It seemed his decision to have someone called was correct.
Ye Shaoting composed himself and immediately feigned surprise. "Mr. Gu, who told you that?"
"I heard something, but I'm not sure if it's true," Gu Xiuyu replied.
Among the circles of second-generation heirs, Ye Yubin's attempt to frame Ye Ziyu had already spread. While they dared not speak openly, they were secretly overjoyed.
The Ye family had always been in the spotlight, and never had anything happened that tarnished their reputation.
Ye Shaoting subtly observed Gu Xiuyu, realizing that his response would depend entirely on Gu Xiuyu's attitude towards Ye Ziyu.
Calculating the time, Ye Shaoting fell silent.
"Mr. Ye." The assistant opened the door from outside.
Ye Shaoting immediately stood up. "Ziyu, come in quickly."
Upon hearing that Ye Ziyu was arriving, Gu Xiuyu immediately lowered his head and tidied his clothes.
The assistant moved aside, and Ye Ziyu walked in from behind him.
Why was he here?
Ye Ziyu felt surprised to see Gu Xiuyu.
"I don't think I need to introduce you," Ye Shaoting said to Ye Ziyu.
"Mm." Ye Ziyu looked at Gu Xiuyu. "Hello, Mr. Gu!"
Her tone was cool, as if she didn't know him, and she exuded an air of politeness.
"By the way, Mr. Gu, what were you saying earlier? I didn't quite catch it," Ye Shaoting asked intentionally, pretending to be confused.
Now that the person in question was present, he could ask her directly about what he was curious about.
Ye Ziyu looked at Gu Xiuyu, wondering why he had come to the Ye Corporation.
The results of the bidding conference would be publicly announced, and if his presence were seen by other companies, it would lead to all sorts of gossip.
In front of Ye Ziyu, Gu Xiuyu worried about bringing up painful memories, so he changed the subject. "I'm here today regarding the cooperation between Ye Corporation and Gu Corporation."
Cooperation?
The results of the bidding conference weren't out yet, so what cooperation was there to discuss?
Ye Shaoting glanced at Ye Ziyu, who looked equally surprised, and immediately understood.
His intentions were not solely about cooperation; he appeared to be seeking cooperation with the Ye Corporation, but in reality, he wanted to increase his opportunities to interact with Ye Ziyu.
Ye Shaoting inquired, "Mr. Gu, are you saying that the results of the bidding conference have been finalized?"
"Yes," Gu Xiuyu said. "The Su Corporation had the best proposal, but we learned that their proposal was obtained from the Ye Corporation. Considering the smooth progress of the project, we have chosen to cooperate with the Ye Corporation."
An announcement that could have been made with a phone call or an email, he personally came to deliver the news just to see Ye Ziyu.
At the same time, the results of the bidding conference were being communicated to the participating companies.
Su Mingkang, upon learning that Gu Corporation had ultimately chosen the Ye Corporation, went to Gu Corporation unhappily. He was met with a closed door and learned that Gu Xiuyu had gone to the Ye Corporation.
To salvage the situation, he drove to the Ye Corporation. He couldn't believe that his proposal would lose to the backup plan presented by Ye Ziyu.
