The sudden inspection caught Xu Jewelry and Qi F&B off guard. It also frightened the other companies in Jin City. They all issued notices for emergency reorganization.
It was Lin Ran who investigated the companies with the search warrant.
Only then did the families in Jin City realize that this Young Master Lin from the capital was not just a playboy as he looked on the surface.
Fortunately, this raid was a spot check and only Xu Jewelry and Qi F&B were investigated.
Then the question was, why did they only choose to investigate these companies?
After asking around, everyone got the possible reason from their wives.
It turned out that the daughters of the Xu family and the Qi family had created a rumor about Young Master Lin in school. The madams of the Xu and Qi families had even quarreled with Mrs. Gu at a tea party.
At the Xu residence.
Xu Xuanyan covered her face which was red from the slap. She stood in the living room with her head lowered, not daring to speak. Tears streamed down her face.
Her father had always doted on her. This was the first time he was so angry and slapped her.
Mr. Xu was furious. “Who are you to spread rumors about Young Master Lin? If Gu Jin really hooked up with him, why aren’t you trying to curry favor with her? Why did you offend her so much?”
Xu Xuanyan did not expect the consequences to be so serious. She said incoherently, “I-I thought Young Master Lin would not care about the school’s matters. Moreover, I listened to Qi Yan’s urging this time. Dad, I was wrong…”
When she apologized to Gu Jin in school, she didn’t think she was in the wrong, but now she regretted it.
She was only targeting Gu Jin and never thought that she would anger Young Master Lin because of this.
Mr. Xu looked at Xu Xuanyan resentfully. He covered his face and sighed. His eyes were filled with vicissitudes. “Why are the daughters of the Gu family so good? Why does mine keep causing trouble for me?”
“It’s too late to say all this now. It’s useless even if you blame Xuanyan.”
Mrs. Xu and Ruan Xueling had been fighting since they were young. After they had a daughter, they began to fight. She hated hearing that Ruan Xueling’s daughter was better than hers.
Mrs. Xu was different from most wealthy ladies who helped their husbands. She was a career-type strong woman who suppressed her husband and became the CEO of Xu Jewelry. In the Xu family, she had a bigger say than Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu said, “If I don’t blame her, then should I blame you? When did you get the radiation jewelry? Why didn’t I know?”
Mrs. Xu felt a little guilty. “I didn’t know that the radiation from that batch of jewelry was so serious… You also know that Ruan Xueling and I are competing in revenue. If we want the profits to be higher, we have to lower the cost…”
Mr. Xu also knew that she had been competitive all her life and would do anything to win.
He sighed dejectedly and almost begged, “He Lu, stop competing. After this, we’ll manage the company business normally. The Xu family’s foundation can’t fall into my hands.
“So what if you beat Ruan Xueling? She still had the Gu family and Gu
Zhaoming behind her. She could open another Xue Yao Jewelry at any time.
“The Gu family is very popular now. Even the Fu and Tang families avoid opposing them. If the Xu family and the Gu family go against each other, we will end up like the Xue family. The Wang family is a lesson to us.”
Mrs. Xu’s eyes were filled with unwillingness, but as the CEO of the company, she also recognized the situation and knew that it would be good if it could survive this time.
“Xu Xuanyan, come with me to apologize to Young Master Lin tomorrow. After that, we’ll go to the Gu family again.”
An apology was necessary, but Lin Ran wasn’t the only one.
Just as his daughter had thought, this little affair was nothing to Young Master
Lin. The main reason why he had gone to war was probably because of the real daughter of the Gu family.
