Chapter 69: Desire
"Boss, things are clear, Chu is always because of a name called Claudia. The Stuart woman got into a big deal, the Stuart family has a considerable power in country X, almost monopolizing half of Europe's rivers, mountains and rivers and air freight routes, and the three freighters of the Chu family in country X have all been detained at customs on the grounds of transporting prohibited items. β
Secretary Zhang truthfully reported everything he found out.
"There is less than a week left before the Chu family's transaction of this batch of goods, and if it defaults at that time, the Chu family will pay three times the liquidated damages, and the specific amount should be ten figures."
Then Secretary Zhang paused, "Euros." β
Gu Qian: "......"
If you really want to compensate for the ten-figure euro, not to mention the entire Chu family's property, I'm afraid that the Chu family will not even mortgage it to the other party......
He rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, "What do you say over there now?" β
Secretary Zhang: "The people of the Stuart family took the initiative to contact the Chu family, saying that they want to see Mr. Gu and you, and if you want to save the Chu family, they will only meet you in detail." β
Speaking of which, only a fool can't hear that the other party is coming for him, but he doesn't know what trap Chu Esheng fell into for the other party, which made the other party seize the handle.
But things have come to this point, even if the other party is not good, Gu Qian can only accept it.
"I see, send me the address."
An hour later, Gu Qian came to the place agreed by the other party, but only saw a blonde woman with blue eyes.
That woman was a typical Westerner, and no one could say in good conscience that she wasn't pretty. As long as it is a beauty, both China and the West have something in common, and true beauty has no national limits.
After the blonde woman saw Gu Qian, a big smile appeared on her face, "Gu, long time no see." β
Gu Qian's eyes froze, "Claudia. Stuart. β
Claudia's smile was even more on her face: "I didn't expect you to remember my name, I'm so happy." β
However, Gu Qian didn't have any feelings for the beauty in front of him, some just felt troublesome, and said sharply: "Why do you want to target Chu Esheng?" β
Claudia shrugged innocently, "I didn't want to target him, I just made a bet with your friend, he wanted to make a big profit, and he would bet me on three cargo ships, and I just designed it a little, and then when his bet was won." β
She walked into Gu Qian and reached out to touch his face, but Gu Qian took a step back expressionlessly.
Claudia had a smile on her face, "If you really want to help Chu Esheng, why don't you come up with some conditions that I think are reasonable and equivalent in exchange?" What I want, you always know. β
She looked at the handsome man in front of her with some obsession, since he was a student, he was impressed and fell for him the first time he saw this man, but this man is like a god on Mount Olympus, he will not be tempted by any mortal.
But now, he has married from a good-for-nothing woman and has children, how can she be embarrassed?
She's Claudia. Stuart is the most noble princess of the Stuart family, how can the most noble queen in the family be compared to a mediocre Ye Xinyuan in the future? It's ridiculous.
She doesn't mind that the person she likes is momentarily fascinated by other women, as long as he can recognize that he is the best and the most suitable for him in the end, and that is enough.
"I just want you to cut off that Miss Ye, I don't think she is the one who can be worthy of you, only I am the most suitable person for you, Gu Qian."
Gu Qian's brows furrowed fiercely, "Wishful thinking!" β
He dropped these four words and left without looking back.
Claudia stood where she was, not catching up, but the smile on her face did not change, and her expression was so confident.
"You'll come to me again, Gu, you can't escape the palm of my hand."

"You know how important that route on the Atlantic Ocean is to our Chu family, so when that woman proposed to make a bet, I had a hot head and agreed, but I didn't expect this matter to be a trap from beginning to end......"
Chu Esheng sat opposite Gu Qian, a green stubble appeared on his chin, and the whole person seemed to fall into a kind of difficulty and anxiety that was difficult to break free, and he lost his former handsome look, and the whole person became depressed.
He smiled bitterly, "What kind of bullshit conditions does that woman drive, this is simply difficult for a strong man...... I am hopeless, I will fall into such a trap, you leave me alone, I will figure it out myself. β
Gu Qian was silent.
Before this, the Chu family had also looked for him, saying that everything was caused by him, begging him to save Chu Esheng and save the Chu family, and said that they could not afford to offend the people of the Stuart family.
Now, seeing that his friend, who was always high-spirited in the past, now seems to be forced into a desperate situation, Gu Qian's mood is also extremely complicated.
He raised his hand and patted Chu Esheng's shoulder, "Things will take a turn for the better." β
Chu Esheng showed a wry smile: "I hope so......"
*
After Gu Qian, who was full of thoughts, returned home, he wanted to restrain his expression, not wanting these troublesome things to disturb his family, but he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped into the house, he was seen by Ye Xinyuan.
"What's wrong? Ah Qian? Ye Xinyuan took the suit jacket he took off and asked with concern, "Is it about Mr. Chu before?" β
Sitting on the sofa, Gu Qian looked at his gentle and considerate wife in front of him, and couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch her cheek, "Why can you see this?" β
Ye Xinyuan looked at his expression carefully, "Is it tricky?" This? β
Gu Qian was silent for a moment, and then said, "Indeed, the opponent you provoked this time is indeed a little troublesome, and it is not as easy to dismiss as before. β
As he spoke, he sighed in a similar way.
Ye Xinyuan: "It seems that this opponent really makes you have to take care of a lot. She could always keenly detect some clues from Gu Qian's expression.
Gu Qian looked at Ye Xinyuan's somewhat dignified appearance, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, he raised his hands and pinched his daughter-in-law's cheeks, "You underestimate me, don't you?" β
Ye Xinyuan's face was deformed by his pinching, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she couldn't say a word.
After Gu Qian rubbed enough, he let go of his hand and wrapped his arms around Ye Xinyuan's shoulder: "Don't think so much, have you forgotten how we passed five levels and killed six generals before?" I don't want to see you look worried about that, I want to see you smile every day. β
Ye Xinyuan, who was leaning on Gu Qian's arms, always felt that this time the matter was not as simple as Gu Qian said on the surface, but she didn't say it directly: "I haven't forgotten the previous incident, my Ah Qian is not ordinarily powerful, no matter what you do, I believe in you, and you will definitely succeed." β
Gu Qian hummed in a low voice, and then gently kissed the top of Ye Xinyuan's hair.
However, Ye Xinyuan didn't see the complexity in his eyes.
The next day, Gu Qian found Claudia again.
Seeing her sweetheart, Claudia was very happy, "Gu, have you considered the conditions I said?" β
Gu Qian hooked his lips and showed a mocking smile: "You are not the only one in the Stuart family who wants to take the throne now, it took so much effort to go around such a big circle...... Are you, who vowed to be the 'Empress', really just a love brain? β
The expression on Claudia's face changed slightly.
Gu Qian didn't wait for her to speak: "Winning the market in Huaguo is an important bargaining chip for you to compete for the head of the Stuart family, I think you can think about it now and reopen the conditions." β
"I'm so happy to know my business like this!"
Claudia suddenly pounced on Gu Qian and hugged him, but then he was pushed away by Gu Qian.
There was a slight clicking sound in the corner, but Gu Qian, who was disgusted, didn't notice this voice: "If you can't talk well, then there is no need for us to talk about it today, I'm very anxious, but you should be more anxious than me, I heard that the 'prince' of the Stuart family is also a person with considerable business talents, why don't you introduce Brother Ling to me Miss Claudia?" β
Claudia, who was ruthlessly pushed away, did not have the slightest expression of displeasure on her face, she stroked her palms and laughed, "It's really worthy of the man I fancied, it's just that the situation of Stuart's family has been investigated clearly in one night, and our cooperation has to be talked about today!" β
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ Okay, there will be a dedicated person in Q&Y who will be responsible for discussing the rest of the content with you in detail. β
After finalizing the general direction, Gu Qian got up and left without hesitation.
Claudia looked at Gu Qian's tall and straight back, and the corners of her lips hooked a smile that was bound to win, "I want the position of the head of the family, you, and I won't let go." β
She turned on her phone and flipped out one of the photos, on which were two people hugging each other, from the perspective of the photo shooting, these two people were extremely intimate and ambiguous, as if they were lovers in love, inseparable.
And the two people in the photo are her and Gu Qian.
"Come on, let me meet this Miss Ye, I hope she can give me some interesting reactions."
Claudia moved her finger and pressed send.

Dingββ
The phone vibrated and attracted the attention of Ye Xinyuan, who was at work.
She received a text message from an unfamiliar number.
She clicked on the text message, and when she saw the content, she chuckled in her heart.
The content of the text message was to the effect that she saw Gu Qian's derailment, and hoped that Ye Xinyuan would not be deceived and see Gu Qian's true face as soon as possible.
This text, coupled with the intimate photo of hugging each other, makes things seem extraordinarily real.
Ye Xinyuan stared at the photo for a while, as if a handful of tattered cotton wool had been stuffed in her heart, and it was uncomfortable.
Eventually, she replied to this unfamiliar number: I don't know who you are and for what purpose you are sending me this fake photo, I will only tell you, I will not believe the so-called "facts" in your mouth, I will only believe my husband, he is not a person who would do such a thing, I hope you will do it yourself.
Next, until she returned home from work in the evening, Ye Xinyuan's mind was occupied by this incident.
But when she looked closely, Gu Qian didn't seem to have any abnormality.
Ye Xinyuan wanted to mention the afternoon many times, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak, and when she finally decided to speak, Gu Qian left the house after answering a phone call, looking very busy.
So, Ye Xinyuan didn't mention it again.
However, that photo and that text were like seeds buried in her heart, although she believed in Gu Qian, she couldn't convince herself that she didn't care about it at all.
