Opening the door and getting into the car, everything was done seamlessly. After Ye Chenhan drove away from the Gu residence, Ye Shaoting parked his car in the spot Ye Chenhan had just vacated.
"Weren't you supposed to be busy with something? Why are you back?" Gu Xiukai asked, lying lazily on the sofa. Hearing footsteps but receiving no response, he turned his head in confusion.
Upon seeing the face of the person who had arrived, he nimbly stood up from the sofa. "Young Master Ye, what a surprise wind blew you here." xxs壹贰
As he spoke, his gaze shifted towards the direction of the living room entrance.
"Stop looking, I came alone." Ye Shaoting sat down opposite him.
Compared to Gu Xiuyu, Gu Xiukai exuded an aura of pure foolishness.
"Are you looking for me because Gu Xiuyu kidnapped Miss Ye?" Gu Xiukai inquired.
There was no other reason for anyone to visit the Gu residence and see him at the moment.
Ye Shaoting looked up.
"Oh? So you're looking for me?" Gu Xiukai feigned surprise, quickly regaining his composure. "If you're looking for clues, I can only tell you that I don't know where Gu Xiuyu went."
The only reason he remained here and hadn't left was his reluctance to part with the Gu family's assets. Additionally, he wanted to see what Gu Xiuyu's ultimate fate would be.
Gu Xiukai didn't give Ye Shaoting a chance to speak. "I've told Fourth Master multiple times that I don't know anything about Gu Xiuyu's affairs. I'm telling you the same thing again; it's useless to look for me. I don't know where he went. However, I hope you find him quickly, as his kidnapping has impacted Gu Corporation. He's an adult and should pay for his actions."
His seemingly sincere words were laced with his own greed, and Ye Shaoting couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't worry, Young Master Gu. I'm not here for that."
Not for that?
Gu Xiuyu grew nervous.
Did they have other matters to discuss besides these?
"Ever since Gu Xiuyu returned, the company has been under his management. If there were any issues with the two companies before, they have nothing to do with me. Young Master Ye should wait to resolve them with Gu Xiuyu himself." Gu Xiukai hurriedly drew a line between them.
He could barely protect himself, let alone worry about other matters.
"The matter I'm here for is very simple, Young Master Gu. You don't need to feel any pressure."
"If it's simple, then say it directly. Your beating around the bush makes me think otherwise."
Seeing Gu Xiukai's eagerness to know, Ye Shaoting said, "Let's cooperate. I can help you secure your position as CEO of Gu Corporation. Even if Gu Xiuyu returns in the future, he won't be able to snatch the company from you."
Help him get the company?
Gu Xiukai couldn't believe it.
He had learned about Gu Xiuyu and Ye Shaoting's unusual relationship during that period. They had maintained close contact during previous collaborations. Why would Ye Shaoting choose to cooperate with him now?
Gu Xiukai sized up Ye Shaoting and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Ye, you must be joking. What ability do I have to cooperate with you?"
"If I say you have it, then you have it," Ye Shaoting replied. "Everything depends on whether you, Mr. Gu, are willing to try cooperating."
If he could get the company, he was certainly willing. Not a single person in the Gu residence was willing to stand by him and assist him in becoming the future heir of Gu Corporation.
Even with the immense trouble Gu Xiuyu had brought to Gu Corporation, the old folks in the Gu family still insisted on his return, believing the online statements were baseless slander.
He was right there, a living person, yet no one approached him to return to the company and resolve the current troubles. It was as if he wasn't a part of the Gu family.
Gu Xiukai's eyes showed longing. "Can you really help me secure my position as CEO of Gu Corporation?"
"What I, Ye Shaoting, say, I never go back on," Ye Shaoting guaranteed.
His greedy heart made Gu Xiukai agree without further questioning.
