Chapter 2045: I Can Sit in the Middle

Actually, Gu Ning wasn’t afraid of anyone because she had outstanding abilities and no one could hurt her. If not, she wouldn’t be so confident.

Standing outside the private room where Qi Tianlin and Situ Ye stayed were their two subordinates. After Chu Xuanfeng came with Gu Ning and Chu Peihan, he knocked on the door.

Chu Xuanfeng opened the door and walked inside with them after hearing a voice from the inside.

“Hi, Gu Ning!”

Seeing Gu Ning walking inside, Qi Tianlin and Situ Ye stood up at the same time. They turned to look at her and greeted her.

Facing Gu Ning, both of them were very gentle.

Yu Hao and Chu Xuanfeng followed by Qi Tianlin’s and Situ Ye’s side. They were already used to their heads’ attitude towards Gu Ning, but other people might be astonished because no one else had witnessed Qi Tianlin and Situ Ye being so nice to a girl.

Even when Situ Ye faced Chu Peihan, he remained slightly serious.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Gu Ning apologized.

“Not at all.”

Qi Tianlin and Situ Ye didn’t care about it at all. Only Gu Ning could receive this kind of treatment from them. It was impossible for them to wait for other people for 10 minutes, let alone several hours.

“Come here!” both Qi Tianlin and Situ Ye invited Gu Ning to sit next to them at the same time. Hearing each other’s invitation to Gu Ning, they exchanged a glance with aggression in their eyes.

“I’ll sit in the middle.” Gu Ning didn’t want to make them lose face or embarrass them, so she went to sit in the middle.

Qi Tianlin and Situ Ye said nothing as long as Gu Ning didn’t sit with either of them.

After that, they were all seated.

Gu Ning had nothing serious to talk with them, so they only casually chatted with each other.

In the meantime, the news about the Shengning Organization and Gu Ning spread abroad in high society and on the Internet. Among all the sensations Gu Ning had brought to the public, this was the greatest one.

People who paid a lot of attention to Gu Ning were aware of her powerful connections and close relationship with the Shengshi Organization, the Tanghuang Organization, the Jinlin Organization, the Heiqi Organization, the Qinghua Organization, and other large business groups. However, they had no idea how close they were because all their representatives who had shown up before weren’t very important, but this time was different.

In addition, many new super-rich families, like the Han family from City Q, the He family from HK, the Ye family from City M, showed up this time, which was quite shocking.

“Jesus, Goddess Gu is so amazing. She’s able to know so many powerful figures.”

“Given her connections, no wonder Gu Ning has built up her business empire so smoothly.”

Smoothly? Not really. Gu Ning had encountered a lot of trouble and attacks, but she had more abilities than other people, so it was easier for her to solve all the problems and it seemed that nothing serious had happened to her.

“It’s very common that one relies on his or her connections to run a business. Anyway, Goddess Gu is very outstanding, so she’s able to build up a business empire.”

“Right, without outstanding abilities, one can never be successful even if she or he has powerful connections. Some large corporations went bankrupt after their owners were changed, so abilities really matter. A business can stay profitable as long as its owner has abilities.”

“Right, I don’t think Goddess Gu is able to become so successful just relying on connections. She must be very outstanding, to make other people willing to help her. No one wants to help a useless person.”

“Right, if we try to strike up a conversation with those famous businessmen and senior officials, they probably won’t give us a glance.”

“All seniors and teachers like obedient kids who’re good at studying. Those kids can always receive special treatment from the seniors and teachers.”

“That’s how the world runs. You can only get other people’s appreciation when you’re outstanding enough. If not, no one cares about you.”

“…”

Gu Ning had a lot of loyal fans, and they hated to hear it said that Gu Ning relied on connections to build a successful business empire, so they kept on defending her. They didn’t want other people to think that Gu Ning was able to become successful all because of her connections.

In fact, smart people all knew that one could never be successful with just connections, but no outstanding abilities. Therefore, Gu Ning’s own abilities were the major factor in her great success today.

Some people who were mentally distorted by jealousy still claimed that Gu Ning relied on her connections to be successful, but it didn’t attract much attention. Most Internet users tended to believe Gu Ning.

As the Shengning Organization was officially established, its market valuation was naturally announced.

Jade Beauty Jewelry had a total asset of about 12 billion yuan, and this only counted the turnover since the opening and the jewelry being sold. The jade inventory wasn’t announced.

Kouzi Beauty Company had a total asset of about 9 billion yuan.

Colaine Pharmaceutical Company had about 8 billion yuan.

The above 3 were the most profitable brands controlled by the Shengning Organization.

Xiangyun Antique-store and Xiangyun Arts & Crafts had about 3 billion yuan. Gufan had around 2 billion yuan. And Fenghua Entertainment’s value wasn’t estimated yet.

Accordingly, the Shengning Organization was valued at about 34 billion yuan, which was a conservative estimate.

After the establishment today, the Shengning Organization joined the top 20 corporations in the capital overnight, which had never happened before.

“Wow, Goddess Gu is so rich. She has over thirty billion yuan!”

“At her young age, it’s quite unbelievable that she could be so rich! It’s even a conservative estimate. I bet she must be richer than just that.”

“Of course. Kouzi is unusually popular now. It has only been founded for a few months. As time goes by, it will become more and more profitable.”

“Right, Colaine is very successful too. Most families have Colaine medicines in their homes. They’re quite effective.”

“Gufan has a lot of loyal customers as well.”

“I know very little about antiques and crafts.”

“The value of Fenghua Entertainment must be high too.”

“…”

Many people felt jealous of Gu Ning’s wealth at such a young age, but they could do nothing about it.

Rong Zechen, Yuan Yilin, Yuan Shuyan, and other people were paying special attention to the news about the Shengning Organization and Gu Ning, so they were amazed too.

They were aware of Gu Ning’s powerful connections and relationship with the Leng family, the Xu family, the Jiang family, and some other famous families, but they surprisingly found that Gu Ning was far more influential than they thought.

In addition, the Leng family sent Leng Shaoting over to attend the ceremony. Leng Shaoting rarely showed up at public events, unless it was his close friend’s birthday party or something like that.

Tang Haifeng and Tang Yunfan also came in person on behalf of the Tang family in City B. They were curious about how close Gu Ning’s relationship with the Tang family was.

It seemed that Gu Ning wasn’t simple at all.
