Chapter 96 Shen Wancheng Meets the Parents 1

“Miss Shen, I won’t bother with formalities. I’ll just say this: I, Li Su, will follow you to the end.”

Shen Wancheng nodded.

"I believe you."

Shen Yao waited until Shen Wancheng and Li Su finished speaking before she spoke.

"Sis, I didn't do anything, where did I get the technical support from?"

Shen Wancheng smiled.

"The double-sided embroidery technique you're teaching Ms. Lan now is technical support. And with your knowledge of ancient clothing, food, and antique ornaments, you'll definitely have more insights into product design in the future."

Shen Yao never expected that she would be of this use and be able to help Shen Wancheng, which made her very happy.

"Okay, I'll think about it more later."

Afterwards, Shen Wancheng asked Li Su some other questions and invited him to stay for lunch at her home.

After Li Su left, Shen Yao asked curiously.

"Sis, you really think highly of Li Su."

"Well, you can't do everything yourself when you run a company; you have to cultivate trusted people."

Shen Yao stroked her chin thoughtfully.

"Li Su is indeed good at handling people and affairs, but I think Guo Tao is also quite good. Why didn't you consider Guo Tao?"

"Guo Tao is indeed very good at getting things done, but he has always been at the bottom of society, and his perspective is different from Li Su's. What I can teach Li Su in one conversation, Guo Tao might need a month to understand. The cost of cultivating the two is completely different."

"Too."

Shen Yao mentioned Guo Tao casually because he was the first person they met after arriving in Hong Kong. Although their relationship was driven by self-interest, they had no ill intentions towards him.

"Sis, I'm going to the Lan family. If you're going out this afternoon, you have to take Cora with you."

"I know, go ahead."

After Shen Yao left, Shen Wancheng took a nap and spent the afternoon at home reading and watching TV series to pass the time.

The next day, Gu Jinxing came to pick up Shen Wancheng at nine o'clock in the morning to take her to the Gu family.

The Koo Mansion is located in Deep Water Bay, about the same distance from Central as the Ho Mansion.

In the car, Shen Wancheng asked Gu Jinxing what gift he had prepared.

Although Gu Jinxing saved her trouble, she still needed to be prepared and think about how to respond when giving a gift.

Gu Jinxing said.

"The gift I prepared for my grandfather is a top-quality Hetian jade ornament that has been auctioned before; he really likes those. For my father, I'll give him two rare ancient books, and for my mother, I'll give her a double-sided embroidered screen."

Shen Wancheng was stunned for a moment.

"Do you know that the main reason I convinced Ms. Lan to come out of retirement is because my sister knows double-sided embroidery?"

"Well, I prepared the gift first, and only later found out that Shen Yao could do double-sided embroidery. But I think it's fine for you to give her this. Even if your sister can do this, it's still a very rare piece of work."

Shen Wancheng thought about it and agreed. Just because Shen Yao could embroider a double-sided piece didn't mean it was difficult for others to find one.

Due to the political situation in mainland China, it is now very difficult to find traditional handicrafts in Hong Kong.

Shen Wancheng thought Gu Jinxing's arrangement was quite good. The gift for his grandfather was more precious, and the gifts for his parents were not particularly expensive, but they still showed his thoughtfulness.

When Shen Wancheng's Gu Jinxing arrived, just like when Gu Jinxing went to the He family, Gu Jinxing's grandfather and parents were standing at the villa entrance waiting for him.

Shen Wancheng paid special attention to Wen Nan, thinking that the person she met at the Lan family that day was indeed Gu Jinxing's mother.

As before, after getting out of the car, Shen Wancheng waited for Cheng Ming to help Gu Jinxing out of the car before pushing Gu Jinxing's wheelchair to Gu Jinxing's grandfather and the others.

Shen Wancheng greeted him with a graceful and generous manner.

"Grandpa Gu, Uncle Gu, Aunt Wen, hello, I am Shen Wancheng."

Gu Jinxing's grandfather is named Gu Mingqian, who is almost ten years older than Xu Pingtao and is now seventy years old.

He looks healthy and strong, and you can tell he's a serious old man.

But his tone was still relatively gentle when speaking to Shen Wancheng.

"Yes, I am Gu Jinxing's grandfather. Let's go inside and talk."

Gu Mingqian walked in front, followed by Gu Hengzhi and Wen Nan, and finally Shen Wancheng, who was pushing Gu Jinxing.

After sitting down in the living room, Gu Mingqian was the first to ask Shen Wancheng a question.

"I heard from Jinxing that you're not even twenty-one yet?"

Shen Wancheng truthfully stated, "My Hong Kong ID card says I'm twenty years old, but I'm actually nineteen this year."

"So young. Jinxing is not very mobile right now, so please take good care of her."

Gu Mingqian was unaware that Gu Jinxing had told Shen Wancheng about his feigned lameness, which is why he said that.

Shen Wancheng didn't point it out, and simply replied.

"It's all what I should do."

"I heard you haven't been in Hong Kong Island for long. What do you think of Hong Kong Island?"

Gu Mingqian's words subtly revealed Shen Wancheng's true identity.

The question seems simple, but it's actually not easy to answer. If Shen Wancheng avoids the deeper meaning in Gu Mingqian's words, she will be seen as someone who doesn't understand and isn't very smart.

Moreover, everyone knows that Hong Kong Island was more prosperous than the mainland at that time. If Shen Wancheng only praised Hong Kong Island, she would appear superficial.

Shen Wancheng made no attempt to hide her background, saying, "Well, my sister and I arrived in Hong Kong Island a little over a month ago."

Furthermore, "Hong Kong Island is much more prosperous than the mainland, and life there is naturally more colorful. However, I think that colorfulness also means more temptations. So, if I had to say how I feel, I would say that I should remember to stay true to my original aspirations."

A faint smile appeared on Gu Mingqian's face, clearly satisfied with Shen Wancheng's answer.

But that didn't stop him from continuing to ask Shen Wancheng.

What was your original aspiration?

Shen Wancheng said simply and directly, "In this bustling city, I can make a lot of money on my own."

Gu Mingqian stared intently at Shen Wancheng.

"Then you've achieved it now. Being Xu Pingtao's granddaughter and Jinxing's wife—these two identities are enough to make you more valuable than 90% of the young people in Hong Kong."

Gu Mingqian's words were not very friendly.

But Shen Wancheng was not angry.

Gu Jinxing was different from other wealthy young men. He was now the head of the entire Gu Group, and his wife was the matriarch of the Gu family. No matter who took this position, they had to have the corresponding abilities.

If Gu Jinxing's chosen wife displeases Gu Mingqian, the best-case scenario is that she becomes nothing more than a decorative figurehead with no say in the Gu family. The worst-case scenario is that Gu Jinxing's position will become unstable.

Shen Wancheng said, "It's my luck to have these two identities. But it doesn't prove my ability. I'm talking about making a lot of money on my own."

Wen Nan suddenly spoke up.

“Dad, my mother’s old friend, Ms. Lan Qin, has decided to come out of retirement to make clothes again. I was there at the time, and it was Wan Cheng who persuaded her.”

The Lan family makes clothes, which is equivalent to haute couture abroad. They are not well-known among ordinary people, but they are very famous among the old wealthy families in Hong Kong.

The direct line of the Gu family has been required to respect their wives since they rose to prominence a century ago and cannot divorce.

Therefore, Gu Mingqian and Gu Jinxing's grandmother had a very good relationship, and he had also heard of Lan Qin because of his wife.

Gu Mingqian was surprised to hear Wen Nan say that.

"Oh? Wan Cheng, you want to start a clothing business?"
