Chapter 707: The Meeting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Juexi had no idea what Ye Yuwei was trying to do but it was obvious that she was getting involved in this. The change had left him with no choice but to rethink his current plan and to take Ye Yuwei into account for all following plans.
People from all over the world who had come for the meeting were crammed in the lobby when the bodyguards headed out for another round of patrol after lunch.
It was inevitable that Bai Ying as the head of the Bai family showed up at the meeting, as well as Nalan Chunbo who was also hated by many.
Gu Juexi was patrolling with the other bodyguards while recalling the distribution map that he had once seen. The first place that he was going to search was the first patriarch’s room – it was the most likely place that they would keep the distribution map.
After all, the first patriarch was by far the most respected person in the Bai family.
“Who do you look so distracted today, Brother Feng?” The man who was paired up with Gu Juexi for the patrol asked.
“Nothing, pay attention,” Gu Juexi answered, faking a deep voice.
“They do this every year. What could possibly happen when the Bai family’s fortress is so heavily guarded?” The man asked indifferently as he glanced at the main hall. “I heard that the second master is coming back today, how I wish I could see him.”
“I will take care of the patrol then,” Gu Juexi said, narrowing his eyes.
The man was pleasantly surprised but immediately waved his hand dismissively at Gu Juexi’s suggestion. “Forget it, the patriarchs might kill me if I leave my duty.”
Knowing that saying any more might give him away, Gu Juexi didn’t try to convince him and decided to find another chance.
Meanwhile, around a hundred managers in charge of the Bai family’s businesses were gathering in the main hall.
Each patriarch led their own team that took care of a different area of business, so the managers were divided into six groups according to their leading patriarchs.
Nalan Chunbo leaned back in his chair and played with his phone while Bai Ying held her white cat and sat in the head seat, her gaze lowered.
The cat sprawled lazily in Bai Ying’s arms, unaware of how dangerous the people around it were.
The first patriarch chaired the meeting and the agenda was about the profits and losses of their business for that year.
The businesses of the Bai family that were known to the public had been experiencing losses for four years after their battle with Gu Juexi six years ago. It was Qian Yikun who had given the Bai family profit again.
And this was only the second year that the Bai family was making profits.
The businesses of the Bai family that were known to the public were led by the fifth and sixth patriarchs so they were the first to give their reports.
Nalan Chunbo was scratching his ear as the representative gave his report, quietly observing Nalan Chunbo.
“Please carry on, my ears were blocked from my shower,” Nalan Chunbo said patiently as he continued digging his ear.
A few years back, they had tried to tamper with the numbers on the accounts so that it wouldn’t look as terrible as it actually was, but Nalan Chunbo had pointed out all of the fake numbers and kicked out a few team leaders on the spot. It was not difficult for the rest of the team to guess where those team leaders had ended up.
In reality, they were worried when Nalan Chunbo decided to attend the meeting.
Gu Juexi heard Nalan Chunbo’s voice from the earpiece hidden in his ear and his emotionless face twitched. That man could be a better actor than he was!
Not hearing Qian Yikun from the earpiece, Gu Juexi deduced that Qian Yikun was not present at the meeting.
To be capable of saving the Bai family in only four years— Qian Yikun must really be something.
It was such a waste that Qian Yikun had chosen to join the dark side.
