Chapter 249: Has She Become a Disgraced Heiress?
The Gu Family faced consecutive upheavals; the company stocks kept falling, and the funding chain issue, which already existed, now expanded into an irreparable hole.
Mr. Gu had just been released from investigation; all the charges of bribery, manipulation of academic achievements through inappropriate relationships, and falsifying degrees were taken on by Gu Wenxuan alone. His degrees and certificates were canceled, and he was fined and sentenced to less than five years in prison.
And just as Mr. Gu arrived at the company to manage affairs, a slew of issues erupted, almost causing him to drop dead from anger.
The Gu Group was almost beyond salvation, with many top executives preparing to embezzle funds and flee, leaving Mr. Gu with nothing but a mess to deal with, and there were even several companies proposing conditions to acquire Gu Group.
Gu Mingde was furious beyond control and drove away all those who wanted to acquire Gu Group.
"Daydreamers, utter daydreamers! No matter how downcast the Gu Group is, they won’t get to acquire it! A dead camel is still bigger than a horse. Want to laugh at me, Gu Mingde? Not in this lifetime!!"
He roared hysterically, his throat almost hoarse with rage.
The secretary following behind him looked troubled, frowning as he said, "But the price offered by Marriott Capital is already the highest. If we continue to lose, we might not even get that much..."
"It is absolutely not for sale!" Gu Mingde, seething with anger, threw the teacup in his hand at the secretary’s face, roaring, "Do you really think I, Gu Mingde, can’t surmount this hurdle? They aren’t even qualified to buy my Gu Group!"
The secretary frowned and dodged, refusing to persuade him any further, and turned to leave.
Gu Mingde, accustomed to having his way, would not have reached this point otherwise. His refusal to admit defeat only caused the mess within the Gu Group to grow larger.
Yet, Gu Mingde couldn’t swallow his pride. He called each of his old friends and business partners in turn, but none answered, and some even directly blocked him.
