Chapter 72: Postponement of the Cut

Translator: Henyee Translations       Editor: Henyee Translations

“President.” A secretary in a suit ran towards Gu Lin from afar and muttered in his ear.

“Who got that person to come?” Gu Lin asked him with a frown.

“It’s Vice President Guo.”

“Guo Qing?’

The Gu Family had always respected Fengshui, natal charts, and so on. They would rather believe it than not.

Therefore, when Old Master Gu was in charge of the company, he would invite a Great Master to calculate the times for opening a business or for ribbon cutting ceremonies. Before that, the Gu family had always only invited Master Qingyun. Just as the master had calculated, the Gu family’s business was rising steadily.

However, today, Master Qingyun was supposed to come to the event location to calculate the auspicious time for the ribbon cutting. Unexpectedly, the secretary came to tell Gu Lin that today’s ribbon-cutting master had been inexplicably changed to a sorcerer called Mao Feng.

It wasn’t that it was taboo, but Gu Lin had a bad feeling about Guo Qings suddenly switching the person for no reason.

“Sorcerer Mao Feng said that we still need to wait. He’s still setting up.”

Gu Lin frowned even more. Today was the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Vine Garden. They had released the news early and invited all the media reporters in the city.

The original plan was for everyone in the Gu Family to show their faces before introducing Yunbao to everyone. Next would be the banquet and the Master Qingyun calculating the auspicious time. Finally, Yunbao would cut the ribbon and they would announce the contents of the next project.

But now, he had to postpone all the segments because of a single sentence from this Mao Feng!

“Get Sorcerer Mao Feng to see me,” Gu Lin said to the little secretary. “Call Master Qingyun and see if there’s any way to invite him over.”

“Okay.” The secretary nodded and ran out.

“Sorcerer Mao Feng?!” Yunbao was very surprised to hear this name. After all, it was this Sorcerer Mao Feng who said that she was a jinx the other day.

“Yunbao, do you know him?” Gu Lin squatted down and asked Yunbao.

“Yes, I saw him in Brother Xuanxuan’s ward previously. At that time, he suddenly rushed in and said that Yunbao was a jinx. He said that no one who approached me would have a good ending. Yunbao doesn’t like him.” Yunbao said truthfully.

“It’s him?” Gu Luo also remembered. That day, Yunbao was unhappy after coming out of the Rong family’s ward. At first, he thought that it was some servant of the Rong family who was gossiping, but now it seemed that it was because of this Mao Feng.

Gu Lin’s eyes gradually narrowed as he pondered. This Mao Feng had come with ill intentions.

After a while, someone finally walked over. However, it was not Sorcerer Mao Feng, but Guo Qing.

When he saw the Gu family, a fake smile immediately appeared on his face.

“Aiya, why didn’t you tell me that you were here? I could have arranged for you to rest. Why are you standing here?”

Guo Qing made it sound like he was the organizer.

“What’s with that Sorcerer Mao Feng?” Gu Lin went straight to the point. He did not want to talk nonsense with him.

“Uh…” Guo Qing did not expect Gu Lin to be so straightforward. However, he immediately thought of a way to deal with it. “Isn’t this because the Vine Garden is our key project in the near future? Sorcerer Mao Feng has also recently risen to fame. He i s in the limelight. I wanted to use Sorcerer Mao Feng to help our Gu family!’

Guo Qings words made it seem like Gu Lin didn’t wish the Gu family well.

Gu Lin looked up at Guo Qing.

To be honest, Gu Lin did not like Guo Qing. Guo Qing was an abnormally tactful person. He said whatever was needed to satisfy people. Although this was normal for businessmen, Guo Qing was clearly the kind of person who did not have good intentions.

However, Gu Lin could not fire him because his father, Guo Ping, was among the group of people who had worked hard with Old Master Gu at the beginning. When he was young, he had participated in too many business gatherings and died early from kidney failure. Before he left, he was worried about his son. Old Master Gu had also promised to help him take care of Guo Qing so that he would not have to worry about work. This was also why Gu Lin did not fire Guo Qing.

“What’s wrong, President?” Guo Qing’s hair stood on end from Gu Lin’s gaze and he could not help but shiver.

“Didn’t I tell Sorcerer Mao Feng to come? Why are you here?”

“Sorcerer Mao Feng is too popular. He was answering everyone’s questions for free. He just found some time now and is still setting up the venue.” Guo Qing smiled apologetically.

“Setting up the venue?” Gu Lin asked, “Master Qingyun didn’t say anything about setting up the venue previously.. Why are there so many problems when

it comes to him?”
