This was what Gu Ning had told him. Due to the appearance of the bronze chimes, some people would definitely attack them verbally. Therefore, if anyone asked him about the origin of the bronze chimes, he would say that he did not know and push the blame to her.
"Then your boss is really something! She actually got her hands on such a valuable item. Won't the government investigate her? "the man said in a strange tone.
Although the man's words were insulting, Chen Darong was naturally displeased. However, he pretended not to notice it and pretended that the man was really praising Gu Ning. "Yes! Of course our boss is amazing. Otherwise, how could she develop her business so quickly? "
"Miss Gu is able to develop her business so quickly at such a young age. She's really unprecedented!" The man said. Although it was a compliment, his tone was not as sincere. Instead, it seemed to be hinting at something.
"Being young doesn't mean that she's incompetent. Moreover, being capable doesn't mean that she'll definitely succeed. She also needs to be lucky and have connections. However, if she's incompetent, she'll definitely fail. Therefore, you can't deny her ability just because she's young. Everyone knows that our Chairman Gu has a good network of connections, but some people think that our Chairman Gu relied on underhanded means to build these connections. They're either stupid themselves, or they're treating others as fools. We're all people who achieve great things. How many of us are fools? If they were fools, how could they have achieved so much? Since they're not fools, why should they be at the mercy of others? "Chen Darong said.
Chen Darong said this for the benefit of those who doubted Gu Ning. In fact, most people knew that people who achieved great things did not rely on underhanded means to succeed. They needed to have their own ability, connections, and luck.
The reason why those people thought that Gu Ning relied on underhanded means to achieve her success was mostly out of jealousy.
His words left the man speechless.
"President Chen is right. Chairman Gu is indeed a very capable person. Although I haven't officially met Chairman Gu in person, I've read a lot about Chairman Gu's achievements on the Internet! Chairman Gu was the top scorer of this year's college entrance examination and the champion of the National Mathematics Competition. Chairman Gu also has powerful skills and saved many people from danger. Moreover, some of these people are people of high status! "A man said.
Those who knew about Gu Ning's deeds all believed that Gu Ning didn't rely on shady means to establish her connections and develop her career.
This was because Gu Ning's ability was something that many successful people like them could not achieve.
Hearing that, those who didn't know what had happened were all surprised, and their doubts about Gu Ning gradually disappeared.
"Eh? Isn't that Miss Gu? "
Suddenly, someone saw Gu Ning, who had just entered the door, and shouted.
Because today's occasion was more formal, Gu Ning was dressed very formally today. She was wearing a casual suit, shorts, high heels, and light makeup.
His hair was draped over his shoulders in huge waves, and he looked mature and steady. He had a noble temperament, and he had the air of a king.
Seeing Gu Ning like this, everyone couldn't help but hold their breaths. They all felt a sense of oppression, and they couldn't take it lightly.
Even Chen Darong was struck dumb for a second, because he was used to seeing Gu Ning acting like a student, so he didn't know how to react when Gu Ning suddenly showed such a strong aura.
Anyway, he was the first one to react, and walked to Gu Ning at once. "Nice to see you, Chairman Gu."
"Hi," Gu Ning replied. She wasn't angry, but had a sense of power.
In fact, Gu Ning deliberately showed her strong aura, because she had heard their conversation just then. Although she didn't care about other people's doubts, she couldn't ignore it if they didn't say it in front of her.
Therefore, Gu Ning showed her strong aura in order to deter them. She wanted to let them know that Gu Ning wasn't just a pretty face.
Everyone got their mind back one after another. Those who believed in Gu Ning's ability all came to greet Gu Ning, while those who had doubted Gu Ning before didn't come over because of their guilty conscience.
Given Gu Ning's current social status, not everyone liked her, so some people didn't think it was necessary to greet Gu Ning.
As for those who were friendly to her, Gu Ning also gave them a friendly response.
"Hi, Gu Ning, you're here too!"
At this time, Tang Qingyang walked over. The moment he saw Gu Ning, he greeted her.
Song Nan also came with Tang Qingyang.
"Hi, Gu Ning!" Song Nan also greeted Gu Ning.
"Hi, Brother Tang, Brother Song." Gu Ning also greeted them. After that, they walked into hall No.1 while chatting. They didn't wait for Xu Jingchen and Zi Beiying, because they could come in by themselves.
Since Xu Jingchen was here, Gu Ning didn't need to specially greet Zi Beiying.
The auction hall was very large and luxurious.
There were rows of rectangular tables with four chairs on each table. There were two chairs on each side of the table and two chairs in front of the table. All of them faced the auction stage.
There were six tables in a row, which meant that there were 24 chairs.
Although Gu Ning's social status wasn't very high, she was arranged to sit in the second row. Only the representatives of the first-rate and second-rate families were qualified to sit there.
As for the first row, it was occupied by the representatives of the first-rate and second-rate families, as well as some senior officials and experts.
Not every aristocratic family had sent representatives, and not every high-ranking official had come. Therefore, twenty-four seats were more than enough, and there were still a few empty seats!
Some people who knew Gu Ning were surprised to see Gu Ning sitting in the second row. They didn't think that Gu Ning was qualified to sit there.
What they didn't know was that Gu Ning wasn't able to sit there because she was a businesswoman, but because she was Family Leng's future granddaughter-in-law.
Two minutes after Gu Ning sat down, Master Leng, Jiang Zhongyu, and Master Xu arrived. Cai Wenhong, the director of the Palace Museum, came with them.
Cai Wenhong came to bid on behalf of the Palace Museum, because it was a very important thing.
Seeing them, people around them all greeted them.
They were especially respectful to Master Leng, so they all stood up when they greeted him.
Gu Ning stood up at once when she saw the three masters. So did Chen Darong, and he was very nervous.
"Hi, Grandpa Leng, Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Jiang, and Curator Cai." Gu Ning smiled and greeted them.
"Nice to meet you, Master Leng, Master Xu, Master Jiang, and Curator Cai." Chen Darong also greeted them.
