Everyone was stunned.
Why were these seemingly elite men showing such respect to Gu Anxi?
Shen Wanqing was also shocked.
Who are these people?
Her lips trembled unnaturally. "Gu Anxi, do you think you can fool people by hiring a bunch of extras?"
Upon hearing this, the leader of the elite group smiled faintly. "My surname is Gu—Gu Qingcheng. I am from the Gu family of Beicheng. I am also the person in charge of Qingcheng Imperial Colour." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Shen Wanqing sneered, "Don’t tell me your boss is Gu Anxi. I won’t believe a single word of such baseless claims."
Gu Qingcheng remained calm. "Young Master Gu was occupied, so he asked me to come in his stead."
He took a file folder from an attendant and pulled out a document. "This is the ownership deed for Imperial Colour. Moreover, Miss Gu Anxi already held shares when Imperial Colour was being built..."
Shen Wanqing rudely interrupted him, "Don’t tell me holding a mere one percent makes her a shareholder and the boss!"
Gu Qingcheng chuckled politely. "Is this student, perhaps, under some misunderstanding?"
He turned slightly to face the thousands of students from the entire school, and smiled. "Gu Anxi is the sole shareholder of Imperial Colour! This means Imperial Colour has only one boss: Miss Gu Anxi. If this student still harbors any doubts," he continued, gesturing to the document, "the proof of ownership is right here. You may examine it now if you have any objections."
Shen Wanqing immediately snatched it and scrutinized it carefully. She then showed it to Qin Siyuan. "Siyuan, could this be a forgery?"
Qin Siyuan examined it and said in a low voice, "It’s real."
Then, his gaze toward Gu Anxi turned complicated. "Gu Anxi, why is Imperial Colour registered under your name?"
Gu Qingcheng answered on her behalf, "It was a birthday gift for Miss Gu from our Young Master Gu, given two years in advance. Is there a problem, Young Master Qin?"
Two years ago? Qin Siyuan clenched his fists. Two years ago, Gu Anxi hadn’t encountered any trouble; two years ago, Gu Anxi was still living peacefully in Qingcheng...
Gu Qingcheng spoke again, "Our Young Master Gu treasures Miss Gu dearly, so he hopes there won’t be any unpleasant rumors, especially since Miss Gu now has a boyfriend."
Upon hearing this, the entire school erupted in an uproar—
Fuck! What kind of incredible, divine love is this!? Their goddess is clearly with someone else, yet he doesn’t care at all and continues to treat her just as well, cherishing her wholeheartedly as his treasure!!! Weren’t the city-wide fireworks and the helicopter on Gu Anxi’s birthday rumored to be Gu Changqing’s doing? This... this... This is true love!
After Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, Shen Wanqing’s face was entirely distorted by jealousy. Imperial Colour, worth hundreds of millions, and Gu Anxi had obtained it so effortlessly!
She and Qin Siyuan had reached this point, and the most expensive gift he had given her was a necklace worth just over a million. She had been so thrilled at the time. Only now did she realize that in high society, gifts were valued in the hundreds of millions. She was only just learning this.
Shen Wanqing’s expression was awful; she felt utterly humiliated because she had repeatedly insisted that Imperial Colour couldn’t possibly be under Gu Anxi’s name. The public refutation left her standing there, speechless for a long time.
After Gu Qingcheng had skillfully resolved the matter, he signaled the elite men to withdraw. He then engaged with the leaders and teachers of Qing University, making sure to extend a special invitation to Imperial Colour to Mr. Li, who had rendered significant assistance.
Mr. Li was very interested. After all, this was Imperial Colour—a place he wouldn’t dare to casually visit with only the few coins he usually had in his pocket.
