The wife he married through an arranged marriage is so sweet, Mr. Lu can't control himself.

Gu Zhi first said a few auspicious words to the old man before presenting the gift.

Grandpa Qi was extremely happy and asked why Grandpa Gu hadn't come.

Gu Zhi then said, "My grandfather had surgery a few days ago and is still in the hospital."

The head of the Qi family hurriedly said, "No wonder I haven't seen your grandfather these past few days. He had surgery. I'll definitely visit him another day."

Gu Zhi smiled and said, "No need, no need, President Qi is usually so busy."

The head of the Qi family and Old Master Qi both said, "Yes, yes."

After finishing her conversation with Grandpa Qi and resting to the side, Gu Zhi was surrounded by people, many of whom came over to greet her.

They all address Gu Zhilu as Madam.

Among them were people who had previously attended the Gu family reunion banquet.

Gu Zhi knew how to address people she knew.

But for those she didn't know, Secretary Zhao would always tell Gu Zhi who they were.

Gu Zhi had been found for quite some time. Secretary Zhao knew that Gu Zhi was smart, but he did not expect that Gu Zhi would be so at ease in handling this kind of occasion for the first time.

Secretary Zhao was surprised again.

I'm also very happy for Gu Jia.

The Gu family and the Gu Group finally have a successor.

As soon as Shen Lifeng and his group entered, they saw Gu Zhi surrounded by a large group of people, looking extremely glamorous. The three of them instantly became furious.

While feeling hatred, he couldn't suppress his jealousy at all.

Until they overheard people whispering about the inside story they had deliberately spread over the past few days.

More and more people will find out the inside story in the future.

They felt a little more at ease.

"Have you heard? Apparently, Old Master Gu saved Old Master Lu's life when he was young. Old Master Gu used this favor to arrange a marriage between the two families. Old Master Lu made a scene, cried, and even threatened suicide, so Mr. Lu had no choice but to agree to marry her!"

"No way, how could that be? I've met Old Master Lu before, he's very dignified, how could he possibly resort to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide?"

"Exactly! That's definitely a rumor, it's fake."

"I don't know if it's a rumor or not; I just heard it from others, and many people have heard it too. But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like a rumor. Otherwise, why would someone as important as President Lu suddenly arrange a marriage with the Gu family?"

"That's true. Not only does she use a wheelchair, but I also heard that she grew up in the countryside, so her education level is probably not very high."

"Not only is he not tall, I heard he dropped out of high school and never went to school again," another person chimed in, speaking in a low voice.

"No way, he didn't even graduate high school?"

"I don't know if it's true or not, I just heard it from others."

"That might really be the case, otherwise I can't understand why the Lu family head would register their marriage."

"But if that's the case, then the Lu family head was forced to marry her. Their marriage probably won't last long, right?"

"If that's the case, I don't think it will last long."

Although the voices were not loud, Gu Zhi was chatting and laughing with someone not far away and could hear some of them.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that her grandfather saved Grandpa Lu was enough for her to pinpoint the source of these rumors.

It must be from the Shen family.

Even now, there are still people in the Lu family who don't know why their patriarch agreed to the marriage alliance.

There's no reason why outsiders should know so much.

These are not people that ordinary people can easily come into contact with or hear about.

The Gu family would never spread this news.

Her people won't talk about these things outside.

So it's just the Shen family.

Because only the Shen family knows this.

It seems the Shen family investigated her and knew she had dropped out of school.

Gu Zhi knew what was going on, but didn't show it on her face.

The head of the Qi family wished he could always treat Gu Zhi, this Madam Lu, with utmost care.

But since everyone who comes is a guest, it's not appropriate to show favoritism.

He only said a few more words to Gu Zhi before going to attend to other guests.

Gu Zhi heard someone ask the head of the Qi family:

"Mr. Qi, I heard you're interested in buying the patent for SZ's latest miracle drug?"

Her biotechnology company is called SZ.

The initials of her former name in pinyin.

Patriarch Qi laughed:

"I would like to buy it, but I've asked eight hundred times and they still won't sell it. They said it's Professor Su's own decision that he won't transfer any patents for any of the special drugs."

The guest laughed and said, "Actually, I asked too, and that's what they said as well."

The head of the Qi family laughed heartily, "You old fox!"

The guest laughed even harder: "Aren't you the same?"

The two laughed heartily.

It's clear that even though they are business rivals, they have a good relationship and can joke around freely.

The Shen and Zou families had always wanted to find an opportunity to integrate themselves.

The Qi family head was with Gu Zhi just now, so they could only watch and couldn't go over.

But now, when the head of the Qi family is with others, they are talking about SZ, and they don't care whether the head of the Qi family welcomes them or not.

They all immediately stepped forward to join in.

"My family doesn't intend to buy the patent from SZ, but my hospital plans to buy several of the latest medical devices from SZ," Shen Lifeng said with a smirk.

Mr. Zou quickly replied, "My family is the same."

Both the Shen family and the Zou family own a hospital.

Although the family business covers many fields, in recent years, the main source of income has been from the hospital, while the other businesses have been losing money.

The two companies also plan to open a hospital together.

It was precisely because they knew that Shen Lifeng did not acknowledge Gu Zhi as his daughter and had a bad relationship with the Gu family that Zou's father and the others agreed to Zou Yuanhao's request to dissolve the engagement at the Gu family's family reunion banquet.

It disgraced the Gu family and embarrassed them.

Since the other person was all smiles, the head of the Qi family couldn't just ignore them completely.

He smiled faintly:

"Currently, Shenzhen has the most advanced medical equipment. I've heard that even Lu's Hospital has purchased medical equipment from Shenzhen. If your hospital doesn't want to be left behind, you'll definitely have to buy some too."

When people mentioned Lu's Hospital, Shen Lifeng and his group immediately thought of Lu's Group and Lu Yanshen.

Of course, Gu Zhi came to mind.

The smiles of the Shen and Zou families were somewhat awkward.

But she kept nodding in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, we definitely have to buy it."

That's actually true.

They're not stupid.

They now mainly rely on their respective family hospitals for a living.

How could they allow their respective family hospitals to be rendered obsolete by the times?

Gu Zhi heard all of these words.

Interestingly, the Shen and Zou families want to buy her medical equipment.

Secretary Zhao also heard it.

Seeing that Gu Zhi must have heard him, and figuring she probably didn't know which company SZ was, he quickly bent down, lowered his voice, and said to Gu Zhi:

"SZ is—"

To his surprise, Gu Zhi interrupted him with a smile, "Uncle Zhao, there's no need to say anything. I know SZ; it's my company."

Secretary Zhao was taken aback.

He then realized that Gu Zhi was joking.

He was there when Gu Zhi told Grandpa Gu that she was Professor Su Zhi.

However, since Gu Zhi had already joked like that, he really shut up and didn't say anything more about SZ.

Anyway, I didn't run into anyone from SZ today.

Their young lady doesn't need to know anything about SZ today.
