Chapter 863: Humiliated! Fooled Everyone!
Elder Ye remained silent the whole time and he did not express any thoughts. When he heard what Gu Mang planned to do, he was so shocked that he straightened his back and stared at Gu Mang.
Ye Junci had told him to observe the situation and see if he could help Gu Mang. He had not expected Gu Mang to have the guts to sell off Lu Military Group…
There were so many weapons manufacturing plants and various advanced digital production lines under the Lu Military Group. Could such a conglomerate even be sold???
Not to mention the group’s foreign partners and connections. They were not things that one could put a price on!
That was why everyone said it was half of the Lu family’s wealth! If Gu Mang put the Lu Military Group up for auction, the Lu family would definitely try to buy it back.
Once it was put up for auction, the Lu family would definitely be the first to show up. Their Young Master would surely try to buy it back as would good and dark forces.
There would surely be chaos during the bidding. The rumors around Jijing Island regarding the auction would surely tarnish its reputation.
“You’re nuts!” Leng Xuan cursed fiercely and glared at Gu Mang. “Do you even know how important the military group is?”
She had thought that Gu Mang would at least know how important the Lu family’s assets were even if she had been an outsider for so many years. But it seemed that she was stupid and hopeless.
It was unbelievable that the Elders’ Association had actually chosen such a useless piece of trash!
The other elders also began to doubt their initial decision. No one with a brain would say something such as wanting to put the military group up for auction!
The Head Elder pursed his lips and forced himself to calm down. “Young Lady, don’t make such a joke.”
Gu Mang squinted, a smile still on her face. Slowly, she said, “Weren’t you guys the ones who started joking?”
This was when everyone realized what was going on. Gu Mang was fooling with them. She had never intended to let them manage the military group.
They all looked terribly displeased at that moment.
Gu Si tutted inwardly. Did this group sign up for the Daydreaming Club with Huo Zhi? How could they even have plans for the military group?
Gu Mang folded the chocolate foil wrapper in her hand and looked at them. Then, she said nonchalantly, “Is there anything else?”
In other words, if they had nothing else to say, they should get out.
Head Elder stared at Gu Mang for a while before he could suppress the anger in his heart. He understood that they could not force Gu Mang to do anything, otherwise she might really make good on her threat.
They could only take things slowly.
The Head Elder controlled his expression and maintained a respectful attitude. “Since you don’t want us to interfere, then never mind.”
The other elders understood as well. No matter how strong their opinions were, they did not dare to talk about it. As such, they all looked gloomy when they stared at Gu Mang.
The Head Elder took a sip of tea and put down the cup. After two seconds, he said, “I have another reason for coming to look for you today. The Elders’ Association has arranged for you and Young Master to enter training.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows slightly.
The Head Elder looked at Gu Mang. “Young Master will go through intensive training for two years just like you did back then. As for you, some of the elders will train you individually.”
“Individual training?”
“Do you have any questions, Young Lady?”
Gu Mang rested her arm on the sofa and she tapped on it. “What happens after the training?”
“Assessment,” the Head Elder said. “Once you have passed the assessment, the council will make a press release and you will become the head of the council.”
Gu Mang nodded and said, “I want to take over Base 102.”
The Head Elder knew that the reason Gu Mang returned was the medicine. He wasn’t surprised that she wanted Base 102. It had originally belonged to the Gu family but Leng Xuan got the opportunity to take that position due to an accident that year.
When Leng Xuan heard what Gu Mang said, she laughed nonchalantly. “How could someone like you ask for Base 102?”
The other elders also felt that Gu Mang had overestimated her own strength.
Her skills are not great and yet she’s not ashamed to ask for Base 102? She probably can’t even get through the first stage of the assessment!
