Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 328: The wife still understands her husband best.
During the meal, aside from Gu Feng and his table where everyone was at least at the Hall Master level, the other guests weren’t seated with such particularity.
Those who knew each other would casually wave and sit together.
Of course, as the top two in Dongguang, Wei Chen and Liu Han were the strongest two beneath Gu Feng and his group. Their seats thus became a circle that others tried to ingratiate themselves into and join.
But Wei Chen and Liu Han understood this well and proactively pulled Lin Yue’s uncle, Lin Langsheng, to sit with them at the same table.
Lin Langsheng also called over Cai Qi and Gao Qi, the newly promoted second in command of Shanzhong City, forming the strongest corporate group in the Dongguang territory.
Another table comparable to theirs consisted of representatives from "Pangu".
Li Yan, Long Chao, Cheng Gong, and Gu Yi were known as the four kings of their department, and others didn’t dare to fawn over their table much.
Mainly because the nature of their department was different; the four had an intimidating presence as skilled martial artists, and a casual pat on the shoulder could disassemble an ordinary person if they drank too much.
Fortunately, these individuals all brought their wives over to that table, essentially forming another group.
Gao Qi, now second in Shanzhong City, would clink glasses with his tablemates like Lin Langsheng from time to time, occasionally looking over at leader Gu Feng’s table.
He wanted to go over and toast his leader but feared being too rash.
He was different now; previously, Shanzhong City was just a prefecture-level city in Dongguang Province, and he was merely considered an employee of Gu Feng’s T3 faction.
But now he had been appointed the second in charge of the directly-administered Shanzhong City, a core member of the T1 faction, and should have reported to the chairman to demonstrate his loyalty the first chance he got.
However, due to chairman Gu Feng being busy with global visits, this official employee hadn’t yet had the chance to greet the chairman, so he felt he should go over, introduce himself properly, and leave a deeper impression on the chairman.
This move was also strategic on his part; he knew that after Gu Yuan was tasked with setting up the stage in Shanzhong City and earning merits, he planned to solve the issue of Gu Dadong’s position to be promoted to Hall Master.
It was just a transition.
When that time came, he, being the second in command, was the most likely candidate to succeed Gu Yuan.
If he didn’t make a good impression and managed to sideline himself, this opportunity could easily be snatched up by someone else.
That’s why Gao Qi felt conflicted and anxious, because he knew that, given the chairman’s current status, missing today’s opportunity would make it very hard for him to meet him again.
At the main table, Gu Feng sat with several elders.
Gu Yuan was also at their table, all of them laughing and chatting about Liu Li’s return, evidently, because the elders were overjoyed by this news.
Semi-retired Gu Dadong curiously asked, "Eh? Why don’t I see Old Zhao around?"
"Hmph!" The commanders of the two departments simultaneously let out a neat snort.
Gu Yi’s father-in-law, Head Yue, chuckled, "Old Zhao is still busy on the island. He’ll probably return to receive his reward after he turns the island into a province."
A few Hall Masters exchanged knowing smiles, all unable to help but glance at Gu Feng.
Gu Feng, looking innocently at the senior commanders of the land and air forces, said, "Don’t look at me. I don’t manage how you guys plan things; I just notify you to assist me, that’s all."
The air force commander reproachfully said to Gu Feng, "You should have told me about such a plan before your visit. That day, just as Old Zhao and their team were patrolling the sea, they received your message. Without even giving us time to prepare, he just took the big ship and charged over there, letting their department hog all the glory."
The marine commander complained, "Exactly, our army not taking to the sea is understandable, but it’s only right for you to let Old Bai’s air force assist you in landing on the island, isn’t it? He’s not afraid of bursting from overwork!"
Soldiers generally have a straightforward nature, and sometimes, when they’re upset, they act just like little kids. Gu Feng understood this all too well and hurriedly picked up his wine glass to appease the Army uncle, "Alright, Mr. Bai, blame me, and next time something like this happens, I’ll definitely arrange for your department first."
"That’s more like it." Commander Bai, satisfied, chuckled heartily and quickly went to clink glasses with Gu Feng.
At a nearby table with the women, Yu Ling couldn’t bear listening anymore and directly scorned, "A bunch of elders always scheming to get the younger ones to do your chores, really shameless."
Lin Yue and her mother Liu Yan at the same table couldn’t help but suppress their laughter.
Probably the only person bold enough to point at her peers and scold them in the yard was Yu Ling.
It couldn’t be helped, the reverence for the Yu Family Offerant was always there. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
These people had mostly been scolded by Yu Ling since they were young.
"Miss Yu, this isn’t the yard, there are outsiders here, show some respect." Old Bai knew how to spice up the atmosphere too.
His words made the next two tables erupt in laughter.
Seeing her sister-in-law, Lin Yue, busy with feeding her child, Yue Xuan also conscientiously helped fill her bowl with rice.
While Gu Feng was back, Aunt Yu Yue mentioned, "Feng, when there was a staff change over here in Shanzhong City, I put some people in several departments, I’ve informed Little Yue and your brother-in-law about this, and I’m letting you know too."
"Hmm," Gu Feng nodded, "My wife has reported to me already, aunt, I’m aware."
Yu Yue sighed in relief after hearing him say this.
Uncle Gu Yuan also spoke up, "This time, I just went with the flow and promoted Little Yu to the Big Housekeeper of one of the eight districts, no problem, right?"
He was here to pick up the performance of the Global Village project in Shanzhong City before taking his brother’s place, truly being dragged here by Gu Feng to embellish his credentials.
Strictly speaking, he shouldn’t appoint personnel for Dongguang, especially Lin Yu. As a brother-in-law, Gu Feng had his own plans for Lin Yu, so Gu Yuan felt it necessary to inform Gu Feng about his unilateral decision to promote Lin Yu.
Lin Yu, sitting at the same table with his sister, picked up his pace with his eating utensils.
Feeling a bit guilty, he pretended to focus on his meal.
Lin Yue also felt nervous for her brother.
After all, Lin Yu had only been in the role for just over a year, and it might be too fast for him to have reached this position.
Gu Feng glanced at Lin Yu and huffed lightly, "Since uncle promoted you, it shows you have the capability. Going forward, learn more from your district and accumulate experience as a preparation for an even bigger stage in the future."
"Yes, brother-in-law, I understand," Lin Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yue patted Lin Yu’s knee and said, "Go, bring over a few bottles of the wine your brother-in-law loves. I had the cook chill them in advance; he surely hasn’t had this stuff abroad."
Indeed, a wife knows her own husband best, and Gu Feng’s lips finally curved into a slight smile.
Realizing this, Lin Yu was thoroughly impressed with his older sister and quickly got up to run the errand.
