Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 507 Precious Wife (8)
Fu Yubo walked to the car, where Zhan Dapeng unlocked the vehicle. Fu Yubo opened the rear door, entered the back seat, and began talking face-to-face with Gu Nuan, carrying a black briefcase, which easily suggested the presence of important documents inside.
"Senior," Gu Nuan spoke first, looking at him with eyes that smiled, her expression warm and inviting as she spoke.
Receiving her smile, the tension in Fu Yubo’s face softened immediately, smoothing his features.
Initially, when dealing with her straightforward nature, he had been reserved, but after some time and understanding her character, his heart seemed to warm up in her company.
Gu Nuan, her name suited her perfectly.
Children from less wealthy families do not lack the charm to warm others.
"Gu Nuan," he called her name gently, coughed slightly, and said, "I have taken care of everything."
"Thank you, senior," she responded.
Zhan Dapeng listened from the side, completely lost.
What matter? What had she asked Fu Yubo to take care of? Weren’t they supposed to be buying a birthday gift for Ye Bai?
At this point, Fu Yubo suddenly asked her, "Are you going to give him that house?"
A house?!
Zhan Dapeng, being a clever person, immediately thought of the implications, and looking at Gu Nuan as if witnessing a miracle, he stammered, "Sister-in-law couldn’t have bought the Xiao Family’s—"
Fu Yubo nodded on behalf of Gu Nuan, "Of course, it’s that house."
But how could Gu Nuan afford such a house? Moreover, wasn’t that house mortgaged at the bank? With the current crisis at the company, that house as a pawn to the bank was not retrievable.
This takes us back to the material that Fang Yongxing had prepared for Gu Nuan at the beginning, mainly related to the company’s Finance. Gu Nuan, who studied Finance—the first rule of financial investment was to understand the financial statements of the company to be invested in. Hence, a company’s finance couldn’t compare to that of a financier, who could see through any falsehoods in the financial statements and decipher the real information hidden behind the falsehoods.
After studying, Gu Nuan realized that Changda’s financial situation was like a large ship entering dangerous waters. The helmsman hoped to navigate the ship safely through these waters, but that was not necessarily possible.
Ahead, it seemed as though several traps, like hidden reefs, could strike Changda at any moment. In such a scenario, Gu Nuan figured that her father-in-law, Xiao Jianming, could not possibly move forward oblivious. On the other hand, it was clear, the father-in-law was out of options. If the company failed to expand its capital and market share both domestically and internationally, it could be easily defeated by other giants.
Because now was precisely the most critical time for these giants to dominate the market.
Anyone falling behind, not only gets hit but is completely out of the competition.
The father-in-law was indeed an extraordinary entrepreneur.
Gu Nuan admired deep in her heart—all these dangers, yet they must pretend as nothing is known, displaying calm and composure in public.
In such circumstances, what could Gu Nuan do? She recalled Fang Yongxing handing her this material with great expectations of her making a difference. Coincidentally, that day she accompanied her husband back to the Xiao Family, where her husband showed her the room of the Xiao Family’s mistress, which sparked her inspiration.
This house was not just important to the Xiao Family but was presumably critical for those targeting the Xiao Family and Changda as well.
