So, this large temptation was in front of him, but he wasn't in a rush to swallow it immediately.
He wanted to figure out their real objective.
"You're right, indeed it's rather peculiar. No matter if this project makes a profit or loss, Shang Family can always get their money, clearly they are trying to make it impossible for you to refuse this collaboration. Just what is this Gu Family aiming for?"
Yang Xiu stroked his chin, suddenly remembering something.
"I heard that in recent years, the Gu Family has been handed over to Gu Haichao's son. I believe this project must be his plan."
"You mean Gu Yan? Gu Haichao's adopted son?"
"Yes, that's him. Speaking of which, the inside story of the Gu Family is quite melodramatically odd. Gu Yan, being an adopted son, should have been quite rejected when he entered the Gu Family with his mother. Yet, he was highly regarded as an own son by Gu Haichao, it's now obvious that he is being nurtured to be the successor!"
