Chapter 879: Old Master Gu Is Unconscious
Editor: Henyee Translations
It was early in the winter break at Hua University. By the end of December, all subjects were completed.
At the close of the semester, an incident occurred at the Gu family’s old residence.
The issue arose from Gu Zhaoming’s appointment to the company’s board of directors, causing a disagreement and subsequent quarrel between Old Madam Gu and Old Master Gu.
During the altercation, Old Master Gu accidentally fell and hit his head, losing consciousness.
He was immediately rushed to the capital’s First Hospital for emergency treatment but remained unconscious for an extended period.
Despite being 80 years old, Old Master Gu remained deeply involved in managing the company alongside his two sons, Gu Zhao’an and Gu Zhaoye, holding significant power and shares.
His condition had a profound impact on the Gu family in the capital.
At the capital’s First Hospital, Gu Zhaoming hurriedly arrived with his family.
He had been exceptionally busy lately, juggling responsibilities between Zhaofeng Entertainment and the Gu Corporation in the capital.
Fortunately, Zhaofeng Entertainment was completely under his control. The CEO he hired was also highly capable, so he didn’t need to worry much.
However, on the Gu family’s side in the capital, Gu Zhao’an, Gu Shuzhi, and some elders had been causing him trouble.
When they arrived at their first branch, Old Madam Gu, the second and third branches, and more than half of the elders were already present.
Upon seeing Gu Zhaoming, Old Madam Gu rushed over and scolded angrily, “It’s all because of you! If you hadn’t insisted on joining the board of directors, your father wouldn’t be in this state! Your entire family is a jinx!”
Gu Yang was stunned.
What a preemptive strike! The guilty party accused first!
Hearing Old Madam Gu’s words, everyone turned to look at the eldest branch.
Gu Zhaoming shielded his wife and child behind him, his expression darkening. “Old Madam Gu, according to the butler, Father fell during an argument with you. How does this implicate our family?”
At that moment, the butler and the fifth elder arrived.
The fifth elder spoke up, “Indeed, Old Madam. How can you blame Zhaoming? I was with him at the time, handling company matters.”
The second elder also arrived, his expression serious. “Old Madam, you were there. What exactly happened?”
Old Madam Gu had always been somewhat intimidated by the Second Elder, causing her to stammer and struggle to explain.
The Fifth Elder turned to the butler of the old residence. “Butler, please clarify. I’m curious how this matter involves Zhaoming’s family.”
Glancing at Old Madam Gu, the butler sighed. “Old Madam objected to Eldest Young Master joining the board of directors. An argument ensued, and the old master accidentally fell.”
“Mother, if you have grievances, direct them at me. Father is elderly. What if something serious happened to him?” Gu Zhaoming’s heart ached as he shifted blame onto the elderly lady.
The elders frowned, casting disapproving looks at Old Madam Gu.
The Fifth Elder sighed deeply. “What foolishness! Old Madam, Young Master Zhaoming was groomed by Old Master as his heir. He holds 30% of the shares. Why shouldn’t he join the board of directors?”
When Gu Zhaoming left home, he didn’t seek a single cent from the Gu family and willingly handed over 30% of his shares to the elders.
Upon his return, he had exerted considerable effort to persuade the Elder Council to relinquish all shares that were originally his.
However, in the eyes of Old Madam Gu and the others, since Gu Zhaoming had relinquished those shares, they no longer belonged to him.
“Grandma, Eldest Uncle, and elders, let’s not debate right and wrong for now. Grandpa’s safety is the priority.”
Gu Shuxue brought Ye Qingzi over and introduced her to everyone. “I heard grandpa still hasn’t woken up. I persuaded Sister Qingzi to set aside her work temporarily and come help grandpa.”
“Sister Qingzi is the disciple of a renowned neurosurgeon in America. She’s undoubtedly a medical genius. With her assistance, grandpa will surely recover.”
