Recently, Mrs. Gu had been invited to go shopping and received gifts.

“Madam Gu, look. There are old and young people in my family. They’re all waiting eagerly for your daughter to grow vegetables. Look, tell Qingming to provide more for me.” Madam Chen held Madam Gu’s hand and said sincerely and fawningly, “Your daughter is really capable.”

When she was the successor of the corporation, he crushed all the young talents in Sea City. She was simply leagues ahead of everyone else.

Although many people sighed, it was a pity that Gu Qingming was a woman. Of course, only those families that favored boys over girls would have such thoughts. In this era, men and women were the same.

The Gu family treated Gu Qingming as their daughter and the heir of the family. They were very strict with her.

Gu Qingming’s outstanding performance exerted a lot of pressure on her peers in Sea City. They tried their best to keep up with Gu Qingming and even surpass her. At the same time, someone gritted their teeth and said that as a woman, what could she do that was so capable? She would definitely not be able to get married in the future and would be an old maid for the rest of her life.

Later on, after Gu Qingming’s scandal, these people seemed to have vented their anger. Not only did they mock her in secret, but they even despised Gu Qingming for being blind and shameless.

Seeing Gu Qingming hide in the countryside, they smiled even more happily. They were sure that Gu Qingming had been humiliated in Sea City, so she could only run to the countryside.

Who would have thought that even if something like this happened to Gu Qingming, her reputation would rise again in Sea City a year later, to the shock of everyone?

At first, when they heard that Gu Qingming was planting vegetables to sell, they were all mocking her like before.

“Hehe, this Gu Qingming is too ashamed to return to Sea City to inherit the family business. She hid in the countryside and farmed with her country bumpkin relatives.”

“Tsk tsk, I wonder if a rich young lady like her can get used to the stench of the countryside.”

“Speaking of which, one is marked by the company one keeps. Will Gu Qingming be contaminated with some stench after staying in the countryside for too long? I heard that the countryside is very dirty. Flies and mosquitoes fly everywhere and buzz. It’s really disgusting.”

“Aiya, we’re eating now. Why are you talking about these disgusting things? Whether Gu Qingming is fragrant or smelly, we’ll know when she returns to Sea City. Speaking of which, this Gu Qingming is really tolerant. She’s been in the countryside for more than a year and has already given birth, but she hasn’t returned to Sea City. Could it be that she’s really planning to give up on being the heir of the Gu Corporation?”

“I heard that many of the Gu family’s collateral branches are starting to stir. They can’t wait for Gu Qingming to return as late as possible. It’s even better if she doesn’t. With a big company like the Gu Corporation, they can at least take a share of the loot.”

“I think these people are thinking in vain. Gu Jianguo is still young. He can manage the company for at least ten to twenty years. During this time, Gu Qingming might take over the company. Besides, Gu Corporation has Gu Jianguo guarding it. No matter how ambitious others are, they can’t do anything. This makes me even angrier.”

This was equivalent to having a big cake in front of him, but someone always blocked it. If he could not eat it, it would make him angry.

They were just watching a joke. Without Gu Qingming in Sea City, their hearts relaxed.

But a year later, Gu Qingming’s name sounded in their ears again.

However, this time, Gu Qingming made them fight to please her. All they wanted was to buy some home-cooked vegetables.

What a surprise!
