Chapter 539 – Gu Jiangxin felt his neck going numb. (2)
Truth was, she didn’t need to do much for the exhibition today.
In an art exhibition, they never needed to sign and sell anything. She didn’t even need to be there but she wanted to experience it.
As they arrived at the start time, Gu Shishi saw Huang Chuan, who was there directing people, and the busy workers after they have parked.
“Ah, you are here. Take this.”
As soon as Huang Chuan saw her, he handed her workers’ badges.
“Mayor Liu will be coming today. He might want to meet you.”
Gu Shishi put badges on the big and small men next to her before she took one for herself.
“That’s great. I have heard a lot about him.”
She only found out later that Mayor Liu and Old Mrs. Chen had always known each other.
And she had painted for “him” in the past. That was some sort of fate.
“Alrighty then. You go walk around inside. We will give you a call if he wants to meet up.”
Huang Chuan was obviously slammed. He needed to do a final check on the set up and also confirm the invitation list.
Gu Shishi decided to let him be and walked inside the venue with Huo Sishen.
The exhibition included 56 pieces of her work displayed in 3 different halls.
In addition to the work that she had kept for herself, Huang Chuan had also rented some from collectors such as Old Mrs. Chen and a few of the winners of Double-11.
Gu Shishi nodded as she browsed.
Her work was displayed according to the timeline that they were created. As she walked down the path as laid out in the exhibition, one step at a time, she could tell the improvement in her technique and style.
She did not let her master down!
“Let’s take a photo together. Big Huohuo. In front of this painting.”
She pulled Huo Sishen over and the family of three posted in front of the painting.
Mayor Liu, at this very moment, was waiting by the door in person.
He didn’t care about anyone else but he was determined to wait for Gu Jiangxin to show up today.
He intended to make an example out of him. As such, he needed the example to be there. He would let all the businessman knew that they need to behave themselves and stick within the confinement of the law. They would only go fair if they do everything the proper way.
Gu Jiangxin was his text book case.
And only because of his text book case was he able to carry out his job in the real estate area smoothly afterward.
He intended to issue another warming this year.
He waited for a little while and saw a car coming toward him from afar.
Gu Jiangxin, who looked to have aged by at least 10 years, go out of the car fragilely. Even his stride was not as confident as it used to be.
Mayor Liu gave Gu Jiangxin his business smile.
“Hi, Boss Gu, long time no see.”
Gu Jiangxin smiled bitterly. He knew the reason he was invited today but he must show up.
To appease this Mayor Liu, he had withdrawn from real estate completely and even transferred all of his remaining shares to the husband of Gu Shishi, his daughter.
He still had a young one at home. He must start to build his empire again from scratch. Only then would his son have a smooth life ahead of him.
As such, he must accept Mayor Liu’s invitation.
Not only must he be present, he also needed to appear apologetic for his past behaviors.
Otherwise, Mayor Liu would always have a thing for him regardless of what field he tried to get in.
“Lead.”
Gu Jiangxin walked up to him quickly.
He didn’t want to say much in front of the others but he had on him the haggard “I was wrong and I have been repenting at home” look.
Naturally, his look did not escape Mayor Liu.
Pleased, he still asked, “What happened to that daughter of yours who took over your business for you? Oh, didn’t turn around and sell the rights to the mother side of her family shortly thereafter?”
He was talking about Gu Wushuang.
Gu Jiangxin looked bitter. “There is no need to tease me anymore, Lead. I had already suffered my own consequences. And been regretting for my indiscretions greatly.”
Mayor Liu patted him on his shoulder. “How can you clean the world if you don’t even clean up your own home.”
He had long since heard of the messy stories between the birth and fake daughters of the Gu family.
He had taken the opportunities with the secretaries and other businessmen around to remind them how important one’s moral standards are.
Gu Jiangxin expressed his agreement right away.
