Chapter 1246 Recognize Gu Ning

Mr. Yang wasn’t a bad person, nor was he a good man, because he would definitely side himself with power if he had the choice, but he would become fair when one was not more powerful than the other.

It was understandable given that people were selfish. n.o.body wanted to act against power.

It was the cruel fact of this society that ordinary people had no advantage before powerful people.

“Sure.” Zhang Qiuhua nodded. She knew that she needed to talk about this with the girl’s parents.

During this time, Mr. Yang kept glancing at Gu Ning with curiosity. He felt that Gu Ning looked familiar, but couldn’t remember where he had seen her face before.

In fact, Gu Ning was the most popular person in City F now, and many TV channels were broadcasting news about her, so it wasn’t strange that Mr. Yang felt that she looked familiar.

Gu Ning noticed Mr. Yang’s movement, but she said nothing.

After observing for a while, Mr. Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Gu, may I know your full name and what do you do now? No offense, I just feel that you look very familiar.”

Hearing that, Gu Ning understood why he always glanced at her.

She smiled and said, “My name’s Gu Ning, and I’m a senior student in the No.3 High School. Professor Zhang is my head teacher.”

“Gu Ning?” Mr. Yang got excited in an instant. “Were you the champion in the national math compet.i.tion this year?”

It was a big piece of news when Gu Ning won the first prize in City F, and the whole city felt proud of her.

When Mr. Yang went to have a meeting at the Education Bureau, his leader also talked about it. In addition, his leader talked about many other things concerning Gu Ning too. They all knew that Gu Ning was now a successful businesswoman.

Gu Ning had attended the birthday party held by the Su family as well, and she was a friend of many important officials of City F. Most importantly, Gu Ning had saved Miss Su’s life, so she was the Su family’s life-saver.

Because the head of the Education Bureau had shown up at the party too, he knew it very well.

Although Mr. Yang hadn’t heard much about Gu Ning, he had a deep impression of her.

Ms. Yan and Mr. w.a.n.g were greatly surprised when they found out that Gu Ning was the girl who had won the first prize of the national math compet.i.tion. However, Ms. Yan and Mr. w.a.n.g weren’t aware of what else Gu Ning had achieved.

“Yeah, it’s me,” Gu Ning said.

With Gu Ning’s affirmative answer, Mr. Yang abruptly stood up.

He walked towards Gu Ning and said, “Miss Gu, I’m so sorry that I didn’t recognize you just then. I’ve heard a lot about you; you’re really unbelievable.”

Mr. Yang showed great respect, because he understood that Gu Ning was an important figure.

Ms. Yan and Mr. w.a.n.g, however, was shocked. It was obvious that Gu Ning wasn’t an ordinary girl given Mr. Yang’s att.i.tude towards her. Nevertheless, even though they were curious, it wasn’t a good time to ask about it.

Gu Ning stood up too. “Thank you so much for your compliment.”

“Miss Gu, please have a seat.” Mr. Yang told Gu Ning to seat herself when he saw her stand up.

Gu Ning listened to him and sat down. After that, they chatted with each other for a while till 9 am.

Although the appointed time was 9 am, the girl’s father didn’t show up until it was only two minutes away from 9 am.

The girl’s father wasn’t late, but he looked very impolite and arrogant. He was a middle-aged man who was in his early forties.

When he walked inside, Mr. Yang stood up to greet him. “Chairman Xiao, nice to see you again. Please have a seat.”

Mr. Yang was polite to Chairman Xiao, but his att.i.tude towards him was still obviously different from that towards Gu Ning.

In Ms. Yan’s and Mr. w.a.n.g’s eyes, it meant that Gu Ning was more important than Chairman Xiao.

Chairman Xiao’s full name was Xiao Mingshan. He was the chairman of a large company with over a hundred million yuan in a.s.sets.

There weren’t many people with a fortune in City F, and Xiao Mingshan’s older uncle was a senior official in the government. Therefore, if Gu Ning was from an ordinary family, Mr. Yang would side with Xiao Mingshan without doubt.

However, he didn’t dare to do that right now after knowing about Gu Ning’s influence. In addition, it was Xiao Mingshan’s daughter’s fault this time.

“Hi, nice to see you again.” Xiao Mingshan greeted Mr. Yang, but he didn’t sit down right away. Instead, he turned to look at Gu Ning and Zhang Qiuhua.

Mr. w.a.n.g had called him yesterday and he was curious to know who dared to seek justice for Tao Jiayi.
