Chapter 190: The Last One to Know
Mr. Gu was pleased to hear that. “You’re right. How could I mistreat you?”
Mrs. Gu thought that her daughter was trying to compromise and did not want to argue with her father, so she felt even more sorry for her. Just as she was about to argue, she saw her daughter shake her head at her.
Mrs. Gu paused for a moment and did not say anything.
Gu Wan looked at Mr. Gu. “Dad, actually, I have a suggestion. I don’t know if it will work.”
“What is it?” Mr. Gu was interested.
“Gu Chu’s promotion to vice president is a big deal, but it’s only announced within the company. Why don’t we hold a banquet for her at home? That way, more people will know about it,” Gu Wan suggested with a smile.
Mr. Gu did not think of this. Hearing her say this, he thought it was a good idea, so he agreed. “Sure.”
Gu Chu indeed needed to know more people, so he said, “Then let’s make it this Saturday night.”
Gu Wan beamed. “Don’t tell Gu Chu that it was my suggestion, because my relationship with her is not very good. I’m afraid that it will affect her mood.”
“Gu Chu is easy to talk to. Take your time to get to know her.”
Mr. Gu was very satisfied with how sensible she was. He went upstairs to arrange for the dinner party. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮
Seeing him leave, Mrs. Gu held Gu Wan’s hand and asked, “Gu Wan, do you really want Gu Chu to be promoted?”
Gu Wan said gently, “During the dinner party, we...”

On Friday, Gu Chu went out with her secretary to meet a client. They bumped into Lu Shen at the coffee shop.
He had just finished meeting a client. When he saw Gu Chu, he teased her, “Everyone in Haicheng City knows that the Gu Corporation is going to have a new vice president. You must be busy.”
Gu Chu was surprised. “Really? I thought only those in the company knew.”
Lu Shen smiled. “Director Qiao is known for having a lot of friends. Didn’t he call you President Gu in the caption of the photo that you took together?”
Gu Chu did not expect this, but she was happy.
She was really looking forward to becoming the vice president.
“Your dad is going to hold a dinner party for you on Saturday night. The invitation has already been sent out. Now everyone knows that you’re President Gu, right?”
Gu Chu was leaning against the table with a lazy look on her face, but when she heard what Lu Shen said, she immediately straightened up. “What dinner party?”
Lu Shen said, “You don’t know about it?”
She really didn’t, and no one told her.
She called her dad immediately in front of Lu Shen. Mr. Gu patted his forehead and said with a smile, “I’ve been busy preparing for the dinner party in the past two days, and I forgot to tell you.”
Gu Chu: “...”
This was... ridiculous!
The whole world knew that they were going to celebrate her promotion, but she didn’t know.
“Didn’t you say that you would just announce it at the board meeting?”
Mr. Gu explained, “The announcement is just a formality, but the banquet will help everyone get to know you more.”
Gu Chu scratched her eyebrows. “Alright.”
This was indeed a good thing.
“I’ve already made the arrangements, and the invitations have already been sent out. The guest list will be sent to you later. See who else you want to invite over.”
Gu Chu: “!”
Gu Chu: “Okay!”
This was really great!
She did not want to become an internet celebrity, but that did not mean that she did not want to become a celebrity in her industry. It was only fun if she could show off to the people she knew.
It had been a long time since she had seen her fake friends.
Gu Chu immediately picked up her phone and sent a voice message to Lin Yin. “Do you know that my dad is going to hold a party for me, and it’s to celebrate my promotion to vice president!”
Lin Yin didn’t reply immediately, but that didn’t stop Gu Chu from going to the group that had all the socialites from Haicheng City. “Is anyone online?”
A few people popped up. “Yes.”
Gu Chu pretended to be coy. “Are you free tomorrow night? I’m going to be promoted to vice president. It was just going to be a brief announcement initially, but he insisted on holding a dinner party for me. It’s just for fun. Please come and support me.”
Then, they went offline.
Lu Shen smiled and shook his head. “Entertain yourself. I’m going back to work.”
Gu Chu did not have the time to respond to him. She waved her hand, but her eyes were fixed on the screen.
Ms. Lin Yin came out to lead the way. “Of course we’re coming! Congratulations!”
Then, the others followed suit. “Of course we’re going.”
“Congratulations, Gu Chu.”
“I’ll definitely give you a generous gift!”f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m
