When Gu Chen received a call from Mrs. Xu, he was surprised. Since the last incident, the two families had limited their interactions to basic business cooperation.
When Mrs. Xu explained her intention to collaborate, Gu Chen didn't immediately agree. "Mrs. Xu, since the jewelry brand isn't solely owned by Gu Corporation, I need to discuss it with my partners."
"Are you going to discuss it with Song Fan? I didn't know that President Gu had to consult a woman for everything," Mrs. Xu said, her tone filled with displeasure. But remembering her daughter's plea, she quickly added, "Sorry, that was a slip of the tongue. Given the three-way partnership, it makes sense to discuss it. I'll await your good news."
Gu Chen didn't argue with her and, after hanging up, headed straight to Song Corporation.
