Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 58 - 0: Still not awake, huh?

Long scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, as he said, "I’ve been puzzled all evening as to why even Mr. Ye, Yun, and Mr. Liu all call Feng ’bro’. I thought it was because you played together in a private equity fund."

Ye Wei and Nie Yun rolled their eyes, "Don’t look down on us, okay? We can’t play with those big conglomerates worth tens of billions, but a few billion really won’t make us bend over. It’s purely Feng’s background we two have to respectfully call ’bro’!"

Tang Jun said, "So, when you see Lin Yue in the future, you also have to be respectfully call her ’sister-in-law’, right?"

Ye Wei and Nie Yun nodded.

If it had been before, when Gu Feng had simply gotten a marriage certificate with Lin Yue and his family didn’t know about it, there indeed might’ve been the possibility of changes.

But Lin Yue just said Gu Feng’s mother was also in Jiangcheng, which changes the nature of things.

It means that Lin Yue has firmly become the Gu Family’s daughter-in-law!

"I don’t know what grudges you guys had with Lin Yue before, but from now on, you’d better be respectful," Nie Yun reminded them.

Tang Jun and others shook their heads, pretending to be relieved, "Luckily, we didn’t have any disputes."

Liu Jin, puzzled, asked the group, "Who’s spreading rumors that Lin Yue’s husband’s military rank is fake?"

It could just be said that they didn’t like to gossip normally, so they weren’t aware of these rumors going around outside.

Long said, "Those women from the internet celebrity circle are all spreading it; most likely they’ve always been jealous of my sister-in-law and can’t stand to see her marry a successful person."

Tang Jun explained, "Mainly, there are several factors. First, if Lin Yue’s husband really was that powerful, there’s no reason he wouldn’t help Lin Yue’s company through tough times. Second, her uncle, Lin Langsheng, hasn’t had any change in his position in the Chongming District. It all shows her husband’s powerlessness, which fits the narrative that denies her husband’s influence—it’s no coincidence!"

Ye Wei laughed, "You guys just don’t understand the system. This isn’t the time of emperors when you thought a single decree could solve problems. Everything must follow procedures and regulations—you’ve got to let the bullet fly for a while!"

Qin Li curiously asked, "What does my sister-in-law’s family do?"

Guo Yunfan said, "Foreign trade, you can look up the Thunder Group."

Qin Li asked, "Are they experiencing operational problems?"

Guo Yunfan nodded, "Certain special reasons over the past three years, as you know, have hit global foreign trade quite hard, and most of those who survived are barely alive."

"Several of my sister-in-law’s important stable international clients couldn’t survive the three years and went bankrupt one after another, plus the Thunder Group’s large volume of goods, they can’t find better new agency clients right away, leading to problems with exporting goods."

"My sister-in-law just took over the company less than two years ago and has very limited understanding and resources in the international market and customers. At this time, distributors from various countries like to take advantage of others’ misfortunes, all pressing for lower prices, which is quite pessimistic for her family’s group."

Qin Li, Dong Hui, and Xu Shenghua exchanged glances.

Some ideas came to their minds.

But they still had to go back and study it.

———

On the way back.

Gu Feng sat in the passenger seat next to Lin Yue, who was driving while starting a conversation, "Not bad, huh? You’re already calling each other brothers with Liu Jin and the others? The rate at which you’re building your network, it would be a waste not to work as a PR in a major company."

Gu Feng laughed and said, "Okay, hire me. I’ll do PR for your group, plant my flag, and guarantee that all those enterprises will come to pay you respects."

Lin Yue laughed out loud and glanced at the unserious Gu Feng, "Seriously though, what have you done to deserve them calling you Feng? I know these guys, and they wouldn’t call you ’bro’ just because you’re older, especially Liu Jin, whose dad is the deputy head of the city."

Gu Feng said, "What if I tell you my uncle is the Big Housekeeper, would you believe me?"

Lin Yue suddenly widened her eyes at Gu Feng, "You didn’t deceive these guys by saying Secretary Gu is your uncle, did you?"

She laughed incredulously, "They wouldn’t believe you just because Secretary Gu also has the surname Gu, then treat you like Secretary Gu’s nephew, would they?"

Gu Feng first looked astonished, then helplessly laughed.

Lin Yue kept talking to herself, "When we were leaving, Tang Jun also said to bring me to look at houses tomorrow. It looked like you really fooled him. With a house like his, you can’t view it without first paying a deposit of 10 million for asset validation!"

As she spoke, she turned to Gu Feng and asked, "Did he say he would give you a discount?"

"Yeah," Gu Feng nodded.

Lin Yue was surprised, "Really? How much?"

Gu Feng said, "Zero discount."

Lin Yue didn’t catch on, "Zero discount?"

Gu Feng repeated, "Zero discount!"

Lin Yue, confused, "What does that mean? That there’s no discount, right?"

Gu Feng clarified, "He’s offering it to me for free, no money involved!"

Lin Yue gave him a look, "You’re still drunk, aren’t you?"

Then, she reached into the storage compartment for a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Gu Feng, "Have some of this to sober up. Don’t let mom notice and scold you. I’ll make you some hangover soup when we get back." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
