Chapter 1266 I Dont Want The Position Of Master Anymore
Under his gaze, Xue Mengqi suddenly let off a shiver.
Gu Jingze scoffed. "The security guards outside cant even make sure such things dont happen.
They can allow a lunatic toe into the house and injure someone. Which family do these security
guards belong to?"
Everyone wentpletely silent and looked at each other.
This banquet had been organized by the n rtives. Naturally, the security guards outside were
also from their families.
At this moment, Xue Mengqi looked at him and asked, "Master. Have you regained your memory?"
Gu Jingze looked at her. "Xue Mengqi. Havent you been racking your brains with the precise
intention of driving my wife out of the Gu family? You probably know better than me why you want to
do that. You want the position of the mistress. Youve made your rapacious ambition abundantly
clear."
Xue Mengqi immediately said, "Master. What has this got to do with me? I have merely been
pushed forward by everyone topete for the position of mistress. And this is all because you
spoil Lin Che to a terrifying extent, causing us tock a sense of security. As the Master, the first
thing you should do is to increase the sense of security in the Gu family. Thats the only way we can
work together with amon purpose. But now, because of this womans interference, the Gu
family has be internally riddled with numerous loopholes. We want her to leave the Gu family
now also because were worried and afraid. Our trust in you is also decreasing. I can forgo the
position of Mistress and everything else too. The only thing we want is for Lin Che to withdraw from
all thepanies in the Gu familys name."
As they listened to Xue Mengqis words, everyone felt that they made a lot of sense. Immediately,
many of them started shouting, "We want her to withdraw."
"Exactly. We want her to withdraw from the Gu Industries for good. Otherwise, we wont take it lying
down."
"We cant trust the Master either. The Master is so biased. As long as shes around, all of us wont
feel at ease."
Lin Che stood behind and looked at everyone. Slowly, she took a step forward.
"I"
However, Gu Jingze nevertheless held her back by the arm.
"Fine. Since all of you are saying that." Gu Jingze pulled Lin Ches hand and intertwined all their
fingers together. Then, he looked down with tenderness brimming in his eyes like sweet caramel.
He looked at her calmly and tightened their fingers.
"Ill withdraw from the Gu Industries."
Immediately, the venue turned deathly silent, as if the end of the world had arrived.
What?
He was going to withdraw from the Gu Industries?
How could he withdraw?
Everyone looked at Gu Jingze.
"Jingze, dont be rash."
"Precisely. Jingze, are you threatening us?"
Gu Jingze looked at everyone. "No. Ive already made up my mind. I will withdraw from the Gu
Industries and resign from my position as the head of the family. From today onwards, I, Gu Jingze,
will have nothing to do with the Gu Industries. I would also like everyone to stop disturbing me and
my wife."
Lin Che was shocked.
She looked up at Gu Jingze.
Determination was written all over his side profile.
It seemed that he had made this decision a long time ago and would not change his mind again.
Lin Che did not know what best to say. She could only quietly hold his hands.
Gu Jingze tilted his head to look at her and smiled.
He said, "I will take away whats mine. As for what doesnt belong to me, I wont take any of it.
Henceforth, I and the Gu Industries will have nothing to do with each other. I too hope that everyone
will enjoy a meteoric rise to sess in the future. That without me, all of you can unite and work
together with amon purpose. Alright. Ive finished what I wanted to say."
Thereafter, Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che with him as he turned around and walked out.
It sent a wave of fright through everyone. For a moment, they felt a sense of panic and
helplessness.
How could he give it up at the drop of a hat?
The Gu Industries was such a huge business empire. Was he prepared to let go of it after simply
saying so?
Just because of a woman?
"Jingze, you cant just wash your hands off it either."
"Jingze, youre being too impulsive. Lets have a proper discussion about this"

All the n rtives of the Gu family were slightly flustered. After all, something like this had never
happened before. They too did not know what to do if the position of Master was empty.
Chaos like this had not happened in the Gu family for many years. They were genuinely unable to
adjust to the situation at the moment.
Especially as Gu Jingzes reputation whether in society or on the international stage was unmatched
by anyone elses.
They did not actually want Gu Jingze to abandon his position just like that.
Just then, Xue Mengqi stepped forward and said, "Alright. Perhaps the Master is angry at the
moment. Lets not get impatient. We can simply consider this at length and get someone to
persuade him."
Hearing this, they felt that Xue Mengqis words were reasonable too.
Who would simply let go of a family business as massive as that of the Gu family?
Xue Mengqi looked at everyone before looking in the direction that Gu Jingze had left.
Her thoughts had surged forth and she was unable to control herself.
After returning to the Xue residence, Xue Mengqi quickly said, "Father, Gu Jingze has resigned from
his position as the head of the family. No one else in the Gu family can fill the position right now.
Wouldnt you say this is a great opportunity?"
Xue Mengqis father had already gotten wind of this incident from the reports of his subordinates.
He asked, "What do you mean? You want to do it?"
Xue Mengqi said, "Ive always found it extremely unfair that I wasnt born in the direct line of descent.
How am I worse than those men? Why is it that I can only be the mistress and not the head of the
family? Father, help me. I can definitely obtain that position. When that happens, the Gu family will
be under our rule. The Gu family will then change its surname to Xue."
Xue Mengqis father looked at the way she was puffed up with pride and hesitated beside her.
He said, "Mengqi, you must bear in mind that the Gu family will definitely not be the Gu family of the
past once Gu Jingze leaves."
Xue Mengqi said, "I know that Gu Jingze will of course take with him his own businesses. But those
are still not as big as the business of the entire Gu Industries."
"Youre right. But you must not underestimate the Gu familys own businesses. The entire business
of the Gu Industries is owned by all the members of the Gu family, including the n rtives and
the three major families in the direct line of descent. Thats why its frightfully massive. But in it, the
businesses belonging to the direct descendants are thergest, and the remaining businesses are a
bit scattered. This is the reason why the direct descendants of the Gu family are of such
extraordinary status. Now that Gu Jingze has taken away that part of the business, the remaining
part is a bit dispersed. Its difficult to manage."
Xue Mengqi said, "The part that Gu Jingze will take with him merely takes up arger percentage in
the Gu Industries. So his family is the most prominent in the entire Gu industries. But after he
breaks off, the size of his businesses definitely wontpare to that of the entire Gu Industries.
Thus, well still be bigger. Even if our businesses are scattered and difficult to manage, if someone
can integrate them, we will definitely be one of the few families with such a huge empire, although
we wont be as big as the Gu family of the past. So, how can we not try? This is definitely a good
opportunity. Whether the members of the Xue family can hold their heads high and be the best
men, without having to care about others opinions, depends on what we do this time."
Of course, Xue Mengqis father was also very interested in what she was saying. Who would not
want themselves to be superior to others?
Xue Mengqi said, "The Gu family is currently in chaos. At a time like this, if the Xue family can get
up there, the world will be under our rule."
Xue Mengqis father looked at Xue Mengqi and slowly clenched his fist. Their sess or failure
depended on what they did now. At worst, they would just fail. But if they seeded, then their
familys status would be iparable in the future.
