Chapter 162 Gu Jinxing gives Shen Wancheng a gift
Shen Wancheng raised an eyebrow and smiled.
She was happy for Gu Jinxing.
Although Gu Jinxing only holds one percent more shares than Gu Mingqian, that one percent difference determines who has absolute say in the company.
Although the Gu Group has not publicly changed its chairman, and Gu Mingqian is still the chairman, it is in fact a dead body.
Although Gu Mingqian was Gu Jinxing's grandfather and had personally raised Gu Jinxing, no one in power wants their decisions to be restricted; everyone wants to have the right to make decisions independently.
This is also why Shen Wancheng did not agree to take over the He Group before.
Xu Pingtao is in good health now, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should live for another twenty years.
Shen Wancheng was determined to take over the He family business, and Xu Pingtao was also willing to support her. Shen Wancheng would have to start as the general manager.
Major decisions require approval from the CEO, and there are board fees. I work hard every day, managing the company, but I only get less than 10% of the company's profits.
This kind of life would take at least ten years to maintain.
Xu Pingtao has only two blood relatives, Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao. The He family has no close relatives. If Shen Wancheng doesn't become the He family heir now, she will become the heir in more than ten years.
Why did she have to work for the He Group for more than ten years first?
Shen Wancheng has the energy to start her own company and make money, keeping the lion's share for herself. Wouldn't that be better?
Xu Pingtao noticed that Shen Wancheng was clearly happy for Gu Jinxing when she heard that Gu Jinxing's shareholding ratio had exceeded that of Gu Mingqian.
He then laughed and joked.
"So you're getting married soon, huh? You're that happy that Gu Jinxing won? Everything he owns now is premarital property."
Shen Wancheng laughed and said.
"Even the property acquired after marriage has little to do with me, as we signed a prenuptial agreement."
Xu Pingtao was taken aback; he hadn't heard Shen Wancheng mention this before.
When was it signed?
"When you decide to get married."
Xu Pingtao, thinking that Shen Wancheng was young and didn't know much about this, asked out of concern.
Can I take a look?
"Sure, there's no confidentiality clause in the agreement. But the agreement is at my place; I'll bring it over for you to see next time."
Shen Wancheng understood that Xu Pingtao asked out of concern, so she readily agreed.

Shen Wancheng didn't stay long at the He Mansion because she had arranged to have lunch with Gu Jinxing. After talking with Xu Pingtao, she went to the club owned by Gu Jinxing.
When Shen Wancheng is alone, she often comes here to read and rest, sometimes staying for an entire afternoon. She is already very familiar with everything here.
This clubhouse has a fantastic location; the private rooms on the left side offer stunning views overlooking the entire Victoria Harbour.
Shen Wancheng took a stroll around the club today on a whim and roughly estimated its size.
The clubhouse occupies an entire floor, with a total area of over 3600 square feet (400 square meters).
I wonder how much this huge piece of land could sell for, and how much the rent would be if it were rented out?
Shen Wancheng wondered to herself if she had enough funds to acquire such a piece of land.
She remembered all the money-making projects that Shen Wancheng had thought of before.
Besides creating luxury brands, Shen Wancheng also wants to get involved in maternal and infant products, including postpartum care centers and professional postpartum care teams.
People on Hong Kong Island like having many children, so the maternal and infant industry will inevitably flourish sooner or later, and making money from it won't be a problem.
When Gu Jinxing arrived at the club, he saw Shen Wancheng sitting in the lobby, not entering his private room. He walked over and asked her.
Why are you sitting here?
Shen Wancheng snapped out of her daze and looked up to see Gu Jinxing standing in front of her. She paused for a moment, then asked a question instead of answering.
"Everything's resolved? No need to pretend to be lame anymore?"
Gu Jinxing naturally sat down next to Shen Wancheng.
"Yeah, no need to pretend anymore."
"To turn the tables and become the largest shareholder of the group overnight, it seems Gu Qinglan doesn't have much ability to make you pretend to be lame for so long?"
Gu Jinxing said coldly, "I want to see people's true colors."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wancheng instinctively looked up at Gu Jinxing.
Gu Jinxing happened to be looking at her as well.
Shen Wancheng saw inquiry and honesty in Gu Jinxing's gaze.
He confessed his feelings to her, wanting to find out her feelings in return.
Shen Wancheng smiled, but her gaze inadvertently shifted away.
"In terms of the result, congratulations on your great victory."
"That's it."
"So you invited me to lunch today to celebrate?"
Gu Jinxing chuckled, "It's part of the plan, nothing to celebrate."
Why is that?
Gu Jinxing stared at Shen Wancheng.
“Shen Wancheng, you’ve been engaged for over 24 hours and haven’t been alone with your fiancé yet.”
Shen Wancheng blinked repeatedly, once again avoiding eye contact with Gu Jinxing.
Unlike last time, Shen Wancheng felt her face getting hot this time.
Gu Jinxing has now found his rhythm in getting along with Shen Wancheng. An occasional intimate word is fine, but he must know when to stop.
So Gu Jinxing changed the subject.
I have prepared a gift for you.
Gift?
Shen Wancheng thought about it and realized that Gu Jinxing had never explicitly given her a gift before.
Of course, Shen Wancheng remembered all the things Gu Jinxing had given her, both openly and secretly.
Shen Wancheng asked.
What gift?
"I've booked a private room."
"Let's go then."
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing got up together.
Shen Wancheng could feel the waiters from the club constantly casting their gazes at her, trying to conceal their intentions.
I felt inexplicably strange.
Previously in South Africa, she had pretended to be Gu Jinxing's female companion, and their interactions were much more intimate.
But she never had this strange feeling before.
Shen Wancheng clearly felt the change in her feelings when facing Gu Jinxing.
As an unlicensed expert with the skills of a psychological specialist, Shen Wancheng was also aware of the reasons for this change.
But she doesn't want to confront it yet.
So whenever she had this strange feeling, she deliberately avoided thinking about it.
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing entered the private room together.
Gu Jinxing went to the lounge connected to his private room and took out a box.
"A gift for you."
The gift Gu Jinxing gave was not elaborately wrapped; it was just a black cardboard box.
Hmm...it looks a bit like the boxes used to store electronic devices in later generations.
Could it really be some kind of electronic device?
Shen Wancheng first weighed the cardboard box in her hand.
A bit heavy.
It doesn't really look like an electronic device.
Shen Wancheng kept thinking to herself, but her hands didn't stop moving.
The box was opened in no time.
Upon seeing what was inside the box, Shen Wancheng tried her best to keep her lips from twitching.
