The names Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo were unfamiliar to the people of Magic City, but they were well-known figures in the beauty industry.
At a previous beauty industry networking banquet, Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo had slapped Liu Dong's daughter, Liu Wan, several times.
At that time, Liu Wan had sworn to make them pay, and this Li Lin was Liu Dong's right-hand man.
After piecing everything together, the whole situation became clear!
Following the incident at the networking banquet, Liu Dong had sent Li Lin to teach Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo a lesson. However, not only did they emerge unharmed, but they had beaten Li Lin into such a pitiful state!
The fact that they could reduce such an influential underground figure of Magic City to this state clearly showed that Caiying Company wasn't as simple as it appeared!
Perhaps Caiying also had its own underground connections!
Upon reaching this conclusion, several beauty companies in Magic City began to reassess Caiying, Su Qianmo, and Gu Chenan.
Even if Caiying had its own underground forces, could they possibly be more powerful than Liu Dong's influence?
Finally, everyone reached a conclusion: Caiying was in for serious trouble!
Caiying had already humiliated Zhenhua in business, and now they had made Liu Dong lose face in this matter. There was no way Zhenhua and Liu Dong would let Caiying off the hook!
After the beauty industry reached this conclusion, many people quickly spread the news, and those who didn't know who Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo were finally understood.
It turned out that Su Qianmo was Caiying's CEO, and Gu Chenan was her fiancé!
However, many people who learned about this became worried for Caiying.
If nothing else, just compare the reputations of Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo with Liu Dong.
The former pair seemed to have appeared suddenly in Magic City with few people knowing them, while the latter had been a prominent underground boss in Magic City for decades!
The difference between them was obvious without even needing a detailed comparison!
Now that Caiying had thoroughly offended Liu Dong, how could their future days be peaceful?
Everyone in Magic City knew Liu Dong's methods of dealing with company bosses!
At best, he would have his men create obstacles, making all companies with beneficial relationships cut ties with you. At worst, he would take severe action, destroying both your business and family!
In the minds of Magic City's people, offending Liu Dong was equivalent to seeking death!
And Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo hadn't just offended Liu Dong - the spread of this video had made him lose face. One could only imagine what fate awaited Caiying!
......
Meanwhile.
At Gu Chenan's family home.
After finishing their day's work, Gu Zheng and Lin Mei returned home.
"I heard there's a beauty company in our Magic City that's really popular lately?" Lin Mei casually mentioned.
Gu Zheng, who was washing his face, nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it's even gone viral online."
Seeing that Gu Zheng hadn't caught her meaning, Lin Mei added, "Caiying's face masks are so affordable now, and they're giving away lots of free items. I heard this promotion ends at the end of the month."
"Oh," Gu Zheng nodded.
"Oh, oh, oh, is that all you can say?"
Seeing Gu Zheng's indifferent response, Lin Mei suddenly became irritated.
I've given you such obvious hints, and you still won't offer to buy some for me? Do I have to spell it out?
Even at this point, Gu Zheng still hadn't understood Lin Mei's intention. He turned around with furrowed brows and asked, "What else should I say?"
"You!" Lin Mei was momentarily speechless, and after a pause, she waved her hand, "Never mind!"
"Strange," Gu Zheng muttered as he left the bathroom and sat on the sofa to browse his phone.
Seeing his attitude, Lin Mei became even more annoyed. She huffed and turned away, also starting to browse her phone.
They scrolled through their phones in silence for nearly ten minutes when suddenly a video popped up. Gu Zheng clicked on it casually and was immediately startled.
"Li Lin?"
His brows furrowed in great confusion.
He had not only heard of Li Lin but had even met him once.
Though he and Liu Dong were childhood friends, they rarely kept in touch, let alone had any relationship with Li Lin.
He had seen Li Lin that one time when he encountered Liu Dong driving on the road. They had chatted briefly by the roadside, and Li Lin had been in the car.
Gu Zheng was well aware of Li Lin's previous activities in Magic City, so when he saw Li Lin, he had felt somewhat fearful.
This wasn't because Gu Zheng was cowardly, but because anyone who had heard of Li Lin's past would naturally feel afraid upon seeing him.
Li Lin had numerous underlings, at least a dozen tattooed thugs, each with their own followers - essentially a small gang.
Yet this intimidating Li Lin had been beaten to such a state!
Who could possibly be so powerful?
While Gu Zheng was shocked, he also felt respect for the mysterious person who had beaten Li Lin so thoroughly.
The voice of the person speaking in the video sounded incredibly familiar to Gu Zheng, but he didn't make the connection.
Anyone who dared to lay hands on Li Lin must have status and position comparable to Liu Dong's, otherwise, how could they dare to attack Liu Dong's right-hand man?
But then again, who in all of Magic City could be considered on par with Liu Dong in terms of status and position?
With these questions in mind, Gu Zheng scrolled through his phone, reading the text below the video.
His eyebrows raised as he read, and before finishing, he turned to Lin Mei and asked, "What was the name of that company you mentioned earlier?"
Lin Mei thought Gu Zheng had finally understood her hints and quickly replied, "Caiying Beauty, why?"
"Oh, nothing, just asking." Gu Zheng nodded and turned back to his phone.
Lin Mei: (╬◣д◢)
Lin Mei gave Gu Zheng a side-eye and turned away, gritting her teeth.
"So Caiying's boss is a woman?" Gu Zheng spoke again.
"Oh," Lin Mei responded dismissively.
Gu Zheng sighed and said, "Caiying's boss and her fiancé slapped young Liu, and they even made Li Lin kneel and beg for mercy. Looks like Caiying isn't to be trifled with."
"That's none of your business," Lin Mei replied irritably. "Caiying previously caused Zhenhua to lose a lot of money too. I heard Zhenhua fired their general manager and deputy general manager because of it."
"This company is impressive," Gu Zheng praised and continued reading the text below the video.
Suddenly, Su Qianmo's name caught his eye.
Gu Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "Su Qianmo, why does this name sound so familiar?"
"Qianmo?" Lin Mei turned around in surprise and said, "Isn't that our Chenan's girlfriend?"
"Oh right, you mentioned that before," Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled. "Caiying's boss is also called Su Qianmo, what a coincidence."
As he spoke, he lowered his head to continue reading his phone, and this time a very familiar name appeared on the screen.
Su Qianmo's fiancé — Gu Chenan!
"Chenan?!" Gu Zheng exclaimed.
He stared at these three characters in disbelief, checking them carefully.
No matter how he looked at it, these characters clearly spelled out the name of his good-for-nothing son, Gu Chenan!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
