Chapter 1146: Cooperation Between the Mu Family and the Darwin Family
Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146: Cooperation Between the Mu Family and the Darwin Family
Mu Zifan supported his cousin Bai Lian’s weak body, with a complex expression, looking at Gu Jin.
His father indeed plans to visit M Country soon, to purchase a batch of weapons.
This matter hasn’t been discussed in the Cabinet, yet Gu Jin knows it already, showing how terrifyingly extensive the Darwin Family’s influence is.
The Mu Family is under their watchful eyes, and nothing slips past them.
This realization somewhat disheartens Mu Zifan.
Ever since the Darwin Family’s influence spread in Beijing, the Mu Family has been passively reacting.
Surely even the Qin Family, known for their intelligence, operates under the watchful eyes of the Darwin Family.
Thinking so, he feels slightly comforted.
Gu Jin noticed the complexity in Mu Zifan’s eyes but ignored his probing, focusing on the pale-faced Bai Lian in his arms.
"Have you thought it over? Are you going to apologize?"
If Bai Lian was like a fighting rooster before, he now resembles a wilted chick.
Upon hearing Gu Jin’s question, he answered through his actions.
Bai Lian faced Gu Jiajie and Wei Yan.
"I was wrong about what happened in the hallway, I should not have treated her poorly. I apologize to you both, I’m sorry."
At this moment, Bai Lian’s apology made Gu Jiajie feel as if he was bullying a child, experiencing a slight embarrassment.
He awkwardly touched the tip of his nose and said, "You don’t need to apologize to me, I’ll accept your apology on behalf of my secretary."
Previously, he had a scuffle with this child, and neither side gained any real advantage, truth be told, he wasn’t truly at a loss.
Tears welled up in Bai Lian’s eyes, a deep-seated grievance rising within him.
Indeed, it was his fault for provoking a woman, but he’d never suffered such a setback before.
Mu Zifan sighed softly, holding his little cousin and nodded lightly to Gu Jin: "Bai Lian’s mistakes are taken seriously by the Mu Family. I’m sorry for the trouble caused to Miss Gu and Mr. Gu today, thank you for your magnanimity. I will personally bring Bai Lian to apologize another day."
"That’s not necessary, he’s already apologized, let’s let it go."
Mu Zifan smiled but did not follow the implied suggestion.
Some matters, the meaning differs between saying and doing.
Bai Lian’s mistake made him aware of the crisis it brought.
If the little cousin is not taught properly, he might cause big trouble in the future.
Mu Zifan: "I’ll take my leave now, see you another day."
"See you later," Gu Jin nodded lightly.
Mu Zifan noticed Bai Lian’s weakness, leaned over to pick him up, and headed for the door.
At the entrance, he suddenly turned back.
"Miss Gu, since you know about my father’s visit to M Country, are you aware that the Mu Family contacted the Darwin Family about purchasing weapons some time ago but was rejected?"
Gu Jin appeared puzzled, she really wasn’t aware of this.
She had only asked Linda moments ago to intimidate Bai Lian, not expecting such detailed information from Linda.
Before Gu Jin could shake her head, Linda approached and whispered a few words in her ear.
As Linda spoke, Gu Jin’s expression changed slightly, her eyebrows knitted lightly, clearly showing she was not pleased.
After Linda finished speaking, she stepped back, returning to her original place.
Gu Jin took a deep breath, showing a friendly smile to Mu Zifan: "Xiao An has to deal with some matters recently, the family business has been handed over to the elders, who seem to think Mu Family is Xiao An’s ally and made some unsound decisions.
The Mu Family’s business with the Darwin Family will continue as usual this year, and to express apology for the elders’ mistakes, the Darwin Family will gift a batch of the newest weapons not yet available in the market."
Mu Zifan’s handsome face showed friendliness, with a sincere smile: "Thank you, Miss Gu. It seems my father’s visit to M Country will be postponed."
Gu Jin agreed, nodding: "Pleasant cooperation."
"Pleasant cooperation."
Mu Zifan left with his troublemaking cousin, and the concessions and gifts from Gu Jin representing the Darwin Family.
He gained considerably from this visit.
Not long ago, breaking off business with the Darwin Family made him think he’d offended An Mingji and Gu Jin.
Today, with Gu Jin’s words, and her representing the Darwin Family’s sincerity, relieved his family’s recent worries.
After the Mu Family left, Gu Jin waved to let Li Qingfeng, Linda, and others leave the room.
Gu Jiajie, seeing she had something to say, apologetically told his business partners to discuss things next time.
Everyone, understanding they were intruding, quickly bid farewell and left.
Before leaving, their attitude toward Gu Jiajie noticeably changed.
Those collaborating with Shijiu Entertainment Company are well aware of the remarkable background of its owner.
The events today clearly showcased his impressive connections.
Yet, none had anticipated his background to be so formidable.
In a moment, everyone sought to be more ingratiating, and in the future, would curry favor even more.
With such connections, the collaboration with Shijiu Entertainment Company would surely be smooth and mutually beneficial.
In the large room, only Gu Jin, Gu Jiajie, Wei Yan, and Duoduo remained.
The three people and one wolf stood inside, and Gu Jin spoke first.
She patted Duoduo’s head, "Your mouth is full of blood, go clean it!"
Duoduo whimpered softly, its eyes darting around the room before quickly running to the bathroom.
As its figure disappeared into the bathroom, Gu Jin withdrew her gaze, looking amusedly at Gu Jiajie and Wei Yan.
"Brother Jie, you’ve kept this tight, does uncle and aunt know?"
This teasing comment caused Wei Yan’s face to blush slightly, yet her eyes remained steady, allowing Gu Jin’s gaze to observe her.
Gu Jiajie shrugged, "It’s not official yet, I haven’t had the chance to tell the family."
Gu Jin knew her uncle and aunt’s eagerness to have grandchildren, if informed that her cousin had found someone he liked, they’d be thrilled, possibly visiting Beijing themselves to meet their future daughter-in-law.
"Better inform the family early, a while ago when talking to grandpa, he mentioned uncle and aunt are so worried about your marriage, they’re having trouble sleeping at night."
Gu Jiajie showed a hint of helplessness, "They’re eager to have grandchildren."
In his parents’ view, whoever he marries isn’t important, as long as they can have grandchildren.
Gu Jin: "You understand their concerns, that’s why you need to try harder. Uncle and aunt are getting older, all they wish for now is to see their grandchildren born."
The older generation holds such a view, believing only the sight of descendants can bring them peace.
Listening to the cousins talking, Wei Yan’s ears turned red.
Despite her work-like seriousness on her face, without her glasses, she lacked the common solemn and authoritative look.
Noticing Wei Yan’s embarrassment, once Duoduo came out of the bathroom, Gu Jin bid farewell to the pair.
