Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
Not even half a month after Zhu Youran took the initiative to get involved with Gu Kun, some rumors spread among the members of Lan Fang's "clan".
The first person who felt the need to do something was Zhu Jingye, who was in charge of the Ministry of Construction.
Since a wave of confrontation last year, which caused him to lose nearly half of his power and business sources, Zhu Jingye's vitality has been severely damaged. But relying on giving intelligence to his old takeaway and monitoring Gu Kun, he has managed to regain a little bit of blood, at least it can be regarded as
A bit of a secret overseas background.
Unfortunately, the information he obtained was of no use, and the foreigners' patience and confidence in him were gradually waning - because every time he tried every means to send people to the aircraft carrier to spy, the evidence he finally obtained proved Gu Kun's innocence.
.
Even if he deliberately fabricated and framed some news and brought in some private goods, he thought that he could rely on these planted private goods to make overseas forces pay more attention to Gu Kun and make efforts to kill Gu Kun.
It's a pity that Zhu Jingye's forgery skills can't compare with CIA's appraisal skills. Therefore, he made several clever forgeries, which further proved Gu Kun's innocence.
The "Isakov" is really going to be converted into a gaming ship and will be officially opened for business next year.
Gu Kun really wanted to engage in the cultural tourism luxury industry, and everything he did was to attract attention, pull gimmicks, and be a shock. The foreigners who used to routinely monitor the situation in Southeast Asia became tired and could not afford to talk about sex anymore.
Until today, the most unpleasant thing for Zhu Jingye finally happened: Gu Kun finally hooked up with his little cousin!
…
On October 20th, a rare cloudy day when the rainy season turned to the dry season, Zhu Jingye had been brewing for a long time and finally found a festive excuse. He went to Zhaoming Palace to visit his uncle, aunt and cousin, and check out the conversation.
eyedrops.
"Hey, Minister Zhu, the Grand Duke saw your appointment yesterday, and even his wife is waiting for you inside."
The guard captain at the gate of Zhaoming Palace was also very familiar with Zhu Jingye and knew the arrangements, so he did not stop him at all and greeted him politely.
Usually Zhu Jingye is relatively condescending to these bodyguards, but recently he seems to have become more courteous and virtuous. Even the bodyguards around his uncle will greet him when he sees them, and if he has an excuse, he will send some cigarettes, wine and gifts to contact him quietly.
Feelings.
After a while, Zhu Jingye met his uncle, who was the Grand Duke. He bowed respectfully and brought a gift to the countess.
"Auntie, this is a black pearl necklace that is a specialty of Tahiti. I went to French Polynesia a while ago to inspect the construction of tourism in the South Pacific islands there. The local officials specially selected it for me. It should be the best among the best. I think it is the only one.
You and my little sister are worthy of each other."
As Zhu Jingye spoke, he took out two strings of top-quality black pearls from Tahiti in the South Pacific, as well as a platinum chain decorated by a well-known French designer. The contrast between black and white was very elegant and retro.
Each of the black pearls here has a diameter of two to three centimeters. The two strings together can cost less than a million ringgit, which really cost Zhu Jingye some money.
"How could you send such an expensive gift so politely?" The duchess was also a little embarrassed and wanted to decline politely.
Even if the person is worth hundreds of millions of ringgit, a gift costing over a million ringgit is not a small amount, equivalent to directly giving away 1% of the family property.
How could Zhu Jingye give his aunt a chance to refuse? He quickly looked repentant and said: "If you don't spend money, you can't live it up. I used to live too extravagantly, and I didn't look like a royal relative. Now that I think about it, I feel quite regretful.
I didn’t go to French Polynesia specifically for inspection this time - the French’s ability to create luxury high-end brands is obvious to all the world. Even the cultural and tourism brands they create are famous for their elegant literature and art. Who can compare with those in the world who are engaged in tropical island tourism? Tahitian style?
I also saw that the tourism industry in Lanzhou is very good now, and I wanted to calm down and contribute to the country's construction, so I went to inspect it. Buying some gifts can only be regarded as a clear intention and a farewell to the past."
What he said was so sincere and sincere, and his acting was so real, that it was hard for the Duchess to say anything more.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a deterrent to the enthusiasm of younger generations to serve the country and rehabilitate themselves?
Everyone took advantage of the situation to talk about some of their experiences in building tourism in Lanzhou, and exchanged some opinions and recent news. The scene was like an ordinary wealthy family, with uncles and nephews acting filial piety.
Zhu Jingye saw that the fire was almost done and said in a subtle way: "Uncle, I think Gu Kun is really a pillar of the country. With him, our Lanfang will become more prosperous and powerful in just a short time. My nephew is willing to follow his lead completely. Provide him with good services and work together to develop our hotel industry and transportation infrastructure efficiently and quickly..."
Although Zhu Youdong was a little surprised, he was still very relieved when he heard: "If you think so, that's good. After all, you are also a top student who graduated from Wellington University. We have very few high-end talents in Lanzhou, and we need the cooperation of every elite... "
Zhu Jingye’s diploma from the University of Wellington is, of course, akin to buying it. Anyway, those universities in Buenos Aires, Australia and New Zealand that welcome Asians to study abroad are basically those where you can get into one if you have a moderate level of English and are willing to spend money.
In comparison, in the 1990s, study abroad programs in Oceania, Germany and Japan were much more popular. They did not accept poor grades and money, at least they did not dare to accept them openly. You had to collect various "quality education" "Assessment". As for the proliferation of pheasant universities in Oceania recruiting students from China, that is all a matter of the 21st century.
This is probably one of the reasons why Gu Kun looks down on the four miscellaneous people of Bujia, Aoniao and New Zealand. Dogs act as human beings and monkeys decorate their clothes. They are simply barbarians with no human ethics or shame at all.
But these are not the main point. What Zhu Jingye said to his uncle at this moment is just a foreshadowing. His purpose is to lead to what follows.
After praising Gu Kun for a few words, he changed the subject tactfully: "However, Gu Kun endured humiliation and sacrificed a lot in terms of personal ethics for the great cause of our Lan Fang. I recently heard that he was... with Xiao Some rumors about my younger sister have spread to the public, and they may be detrimental to the dignity of the royal family. Uncle, I think it is best for my younger sister to restrain herself temporarily and pay attention to the impact?"
Zhu Jingye's true intention was, of course, to directly remind Zhu Youdong that Gu Kun was successful in his career and had skills, but he was not the best son-in-law candidate.
However, this cannot be said openly, because it would be too much for Sima Zhao to say it openly.
That's why Zhu Jingye first praised Gu Kun, and even took the initiative to pretend to defend Gu Kun, saying that he understood that Gu Kun "played the Ocean Horse only to endure humiliation for the sake of the country and the nation, not for selfish desires."
Zhu Youdong's expression changed slightly.
He was an old man, how could he not understand these sophistication of people, but he said seriously: "The rumors in the public are not trustworthy. Our old Zhu family has a rigorous upbringing, a pure family tradition, and naturally we are not afraid of slanted shadows."
Your little sister is just learning swimming from Gu Kun and participating in a survival summer camp. These are all serious things. Speaking of which, I should also thank Gu Kun for calming down——
It’s not like you don’t know Youran’s usual pampering. When she was asked to learn how to swim, which female coach dared to make her choke and throw her directly into the deep water area? It was said to be a wild camping training, and who didn’t put wild fruits and wild fruits together as if they were posing for a photo?
Are the birds, animals, and seafood laid out there for her to get at her fingertips?
Even Gu Kun, with his status, strength and reputation, can overwhelm our family. It’s rare that he has the patience to control him. If you don’t believe me, you can talk to your sister.”
Zhu Jingye had nothing to do. Fortunately, he didn't show his true colors. His words just now were all about pretending to say good things and making slanderous remarks, so there was no risk of riding a tiger.
After suffering for a while, he finally made it to dinner time.
Originally, he didn't even plan to have dinner at Zhaoming Palace because he felt uncomfortable eating in front of his uncle and aunt and couldn't show off. But since his goal was not achieved, he could only think of ways to delay it.
When it was almost time for dinner, Zhu Youran finally returned to the palace. She had been staying with Gu Kun for the past few days, learning how to swim while doing the "Reminiscing About the Pain and Sweetness Summer Camp", learning the desert island survival routines in Tom Hanks movies.
Woolen cloth.
However, she is a princess after all, and it is impossible for her to skip meals every day, so she only makes a living by herself outside for lunch. She is not hungry even if she cannot get anything to eat. She still goes back to the palace to have breakfast and dinner with her parents.
Zhu Jingye finally waited until his cousin came back, and quickly took advantage of the time before dinner to find an opportunity to talk in private.
"Brother, why are you here?" Zhu Youran was a little surprised when he saw Zhu Jingye.
Because she was still young, her father had not taught her about the family's interest disputes, but her mother-in-law had never had a good impression of Zhu Jingye in private, so she would subtly remind her daughter to be careful.
Of course, in the past two years, after she entered junior high school, the Duchess would occasionally mention it in private. Before that, she was too young and ignorant to teach a primary school student about palace battles and inheritance struggles.
.
Zhu Jingye's impression of his cousin was still one or two years ago, so he didn't realize that his cousin was also somewhat resistant to him.
He used himself to save others, thinking that Zhu Youran, who had been pestering Gu Kun recently, was a young girl named Sichun who was deceived by a love expert, so the main purpose at this moment was to expose the true face of Gu Kun, an old scumbag, in front of his cousin.
Frankly speaking, although Gu Kun's strength has expanded several times in the past year, it is far beyond what Zhu Jingye can handle with his wealth.
However, Gu Kun still created opportunities for Zhu Jingye's provocation in some aspects.
That was the messy affair between Gu Kun and the famous lady from the Oceania hotel tycoon family - last year, Zhu Jingye wanted to catch up on the potential scandal between Gu Kun and Lin Ying, and "did Gu Kun sleep with the sexy female secretaries around him?"
It takes a lot of effort to provide evidence.
This year, in terms of personal ethics between men and women, Gu Kun has personally and unabashedly exposed the dirty stuff.
"My little sister must have no information. She doesn't know that Gu Kun is an old scumbag who has many women outside. Therefore, when the girl first fell in love and fell in love, she was deceived by Gu Kun. As long as his true face is revealed, no matter how rich or wealthy Gu Kun is,
As long as he fails to become his uncle's son-in-law, there is still a chance for everything."
Before he finally opened his mouth to provoke, Zhu Jingye took a deep breath and thought about it in his heart.
