2684: Blackened Forehead

Blackened Forehead

Not many people were aware of Gu Ning's background, so Master Leng did an introduction when Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning sent him their gift.1

"Please let me introduce you, this is my eldest grandson's fiancée, Gu Ning. She's a very outstanding girl who started up a company at only eighteen years old. Within a year, she had become unbelievably successful. She is now the most famous businesswoman of the year. Her enterprise is the Shengning Organization, which is developing at the fastest speed in history," said Master Leng. It was publicly known that Gu Ning was the chairman of the Shengning Organization, so it wasn't a secret.

Hearing that, everyone was astonished.

What?

Most people knew that the Shengning Organization had become very successful within a short time, but many people didn't know that Gu Ning was its chairman. Not to mention that she only looked about twenty years old.

Even if they had heard about that, they wouldn't have believed it so they were totally shocked.

"Jesus, that's amazing!"

Leng Wenzhen hadn't thought that Gu Ning was impressive, but now he had to change his mind. Gu Ning was incredible!

"Miss Gu is such a young achiever."

"Right, it has never happened before and I don't think anyone can do better in the future either."

"The Shengning Organization is the enterprise that has developed the quickest I've ever seen."

"…"

Everyone complimented Gu Ning. Although most of the guests were senior officials and Gu Ning was just a businesswoman, they all admired her. Gu Ning was only nineteen and yet she had already achieved a lot, which was something they had never seen before.

"And, she's also the granddaughter of the Tang family in City B, and the daughter of the chairman of Tanghuang." Master Leng continued.

Hearing that, everyone was surprised again. They didn't expect Gu Ning to be the granddaughter of the Tang family in City B, and the daughter of the chairman of Tanghuang.

Did Gu Ning get help from the Tang family to build a successful company so quickly?

However, that shouldn't be it. If Gu Ning was a member of the Tang family, why wasn't her surname Tang?

Was Gu Ning Tang Yunfan's illegitimate daughter?

No matter what, since Master Leng said Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan's daughter, she should be. In that case, the Shengning Organization must have relied on the Tang family to develop so fast.

They originally thought it was unbelievable that the Shengning Organization could develop so fast and that its founder was even a 19-year-old young girl, but now they were convinced that it had relied on the Tang family to become so successful.

Therefore, many people doubted Gu Ning's abilities.

However, for the sake of Master Leng's face, they didn't say it aloud.

Master Leng understood that the guests might doubt Gu Ning's abilities after he said that, but it was true that Gu Ning was a member of the Tang family.

It wasn't a secret, but not many people knew it.

Afterwards, Master Leng explained. "I know you might think the Shengning Organization's development has a lot to do with the Tang family, but I can be honest with you. The Shengning Organization totally relied on Gu Ning's own abilities to become so successful. Connections are very important for someone to do a business, but Gu Ning accumulated her connections by herself. Without real abilities, no one can build a company well. Every guest here has a successful career, so you should know support isn't enough. Nobody will support you if you don't have skills."

Hearing that, everyone realized that Gu Ning was much better than they thought and they stopped doubting her abilities.

Right, they all had a successful career, so they should know the rules better than other people.

Although many people became successful by riding on other people's coattails, they couldn't become important and would soon lose their success. Whether in business or in politics, one's abilities mattered the most.

Gu Ning couldn't be incompetent if she could lead the company to such a big success.

Some of the people might still doubt her abilities, but they wouldn't say it aloud.

At this moment, Tang Yunfan stood out and said, "I think you just heard that Gu Ning is my daughter. However, her surname is Gu instead of Tang. Before she was born, I had an accident and was separated from her mother. So she had the same surname as her mother. We didn't meet again until last year. By then, Gu Ning had already built up several companies. She just hadn't merged them into the Shengning Organization yet. The Tang family really hasn't supported the Shengning Organization. On the contrary, I fell into a coma after a car accident once, and someone tried to steal my position. Fortunately, Gu Ning helped me get rid of the bad guy and stopped the Tang family from losing our wealth. In addition, I bet you have read news about Gu Ning on the Internet, so you should know that she isn't weak at all."

Tang Yunfan didn't want other people to doubt Gu Ning's abilities, because it was unfair to her. The Tang family wasn't involved in the development of the Shengning Organization and wouldn't steal the credit from Gu Ning.

After hearing Tang Yunfan's explanation, the people there finally believed that Gu Ning was a talented businesswoman.

Now they wanted to find out more about her on the Internet, but they were at Master Leng's birthday party. It wasn't right for them to play on the phone right now.

After that, they stopped talking about Gu Ning, but they changed their attitude towards her.

Then Leng Shaoming presented his gift for Master Leng.

After the Leng family's relatives finished sending their gifts, it was the guests' turn.

The majority were officials, so they didn't buy expensive gifts, but they still showed their sincerity.

Officials weren't rich, unless their families had a business. If they took out a very expensive gift, other people might think they had accepted bribery.

After sending the gifts and good wishes, they could walk around and enjoy themselves.

Due to Wei Lingfeng's special status, he couldn't stay for long, so he excused himself after giving his gift to Master Leng.

When Wei Lingfeng walked out, Gu Ning's gaze fell on him and she saw his blackened forehead.
