The elite business gathering would be held in a day at the grand venue of Houston Square.

On that day, the person in charge of Zhongteng would really be present, and it was not fake news this time.

But before that, Sheng Kai had freed some time to do a checkup. Once the results was out, however, his private doctor immediately gave him a call, asking that he make time again to meet him.

Sheng Kai did not tell Gu Ziling about the matter because a mans dignity was in the balance. That was why his assistant personally asked that the private doctor come to Sheng Kais office and bring the report with him.

Chief Sheng, Im afraid you may have to spare more time for a full checkup at the hospital. The doctor suggested as he placed Sheng Kais medical report on his desk. I suspect that you have immunological infertility.

Sheng Kais face dropped at those words.

Please explain

With that, the doctor spent some time to explain the cause of immunological infertility and its effects.

But I dont have much trouble when it comes to that aspect of my lifestyle

It could be hereditary. The doctor explained.

Is it treatable?

Of course, but you would need to cooperate.

Sheng Kai certainly could work with the doctor, but he was reluctant to let anyone else know that he was infertileespecially Gu Ziling, because it concerned a mans dignity.

I can cooperate, but you must ensure that no other person knows this.

With his body in such a state, it was basically impossible for him to impregnate Gu Ziling. That was why he declined even though Gu Ziling had taken the initiative on that night, not to mention that he was at once wary and irritable.

Whats wrong? Gu Ziling had never seen him acting like that before.

Its nothing, Im a little tired from work. You should sleep. Sheng Kai explained, sweet-talking her.

In turn, Gu Ziling simply considered that he was feeling much pressure and did not press him, and was soon asleep.

Meanwhile, Sheng Kais eyes were open the entire night, and he could not sleep no matter how he tried.

He could not even give Gu Ziling a child.

And should news of this spread, his dignity as the CEO of Huang Yao and the head of the Sheng family would vaporize entirely. He would become a laughing stock for everyone else, because no man could suffer such humiliation.

On the next day, Sheng Xiao visited the Shen family before going to Zhongteng. After all, Shen Jianchuan was the one who made him, which was why he was a father to Sheng Xiao just like Papa Sheng.

Now, Sheng Xiao wanted to ask if Shen Jianchuan would attend the business gathering in the evening with him.

As a matter of fact, Shen Jianchuan was aware that Sheng Xiao was planning to announce himself, and yet was also unwilling to monopolize his position and was willing to share with Shen Jianchuan.

Even so, Shen Jianchuan preferred to stay behind the scenes since this was the era for the youngsters. Old folks like him should hide where it was safer.

I will remember your kindness, but I hope that you would save that heart of yours for my daughter instead. Im quite please with your performance right now, and that gathering or whatnot is a place for young people like you. Its better for me to stay home fishing with my old man.

Shen Jianchuan had his own reasons for being unwilling to take part in the gathering.

After all, the Shen family was growing in stature, and he should move around less so that his younger brother could hold on to the post of mayor a little longer.

I plan to bring Qier overseas to register our marriage when shes twenty.

A piece of paper doesnt hold all that difference for you two. Shen Jianchuan was not in a hurry, since he would rather have his daughter hang around for a few more years.

You should find someone too, Dad.

Shen Jianchuan grinned but waved him off. Get back to work. Why care about the business of a loafer like me?

Sheng Xiao was not about to stay too long at the Shens residence anyway since his own home was very close, and it was very convenient for them to meet.

As such, before heading to Zhongteng, he instructed Xu Che to send the formal gown tailored for Qier back to their house, so that Qier could try it ahead of time.

The little ones figure had become rather ample lately. Even though Sheng Xiao did not want to let other men ogle her, he did not want to cramp her style either

Either way, the night would be interesting.

The Sheng family would not be prepared at all, since Sheng Xiao had kept his work well-hidden over the last six months. Jiang Yun would attend the gathering with Sheng Minglan, and his former assistant was certainly interested in watching how the Sheng family would react.

By six in the evening, Sheng Minglan had already gone home to change.

When she found that Jing Yun had already changed, she asked him, Should we go with Qiqi?

Let them go by themselves. It would be more surprising that way.

Sheng Minglan nodded after thinking about it, her heart soaring at the thought of Sheng Xiaos return to the pinnacle of Jianchuan.

At the same time, Third Brother had put on an ink-green tuxedo and a bowtie before going downstairs.

He gave Sheng Kai and Gu Ziling a huge thumb-up when he found that they had already changed. Truly an ideal couple!

Sheng Kai was wearing a dark-blue tuxedo, while Gu Ziling was wearing a white, bareback gownit was gorgeous, but was she not afraid of getting a cold with how freezing the weather was lately?

Of course, the only thing that mattered to Sheng Kai was limelight. He had never really concerned himself with Gu Zilings health, and he was even less willing to talk about health after learning about his own shortcoming.

All three of them got on their Lincoln limousine.

Throughout the journey, Third Brother kept adjusting his sleeves and could not help dissing himself. I guess we still lack one more girl. Really, it eases the mind with Sister-in-law holding the fort of the family.

Grandfather had you attend the gathering so that you could find someone you like! Gu Ziling quickly said.

Well see who the boss of Zhongteng is soon. I really want to know who could have forced me to fork out 6.5 billion dollars.

Third Brother acted as if he did not understand all that, and put on the face of a melancholic youth looking outside the window.

He would be breaking out in laughter otherwise.

It was not as if he was strongly opinionated against Second Brother, but Eighth Brothers brain just seemed to crafted by god himselfanyone attempting to compete against him in business would only humiliate themselves.

He could only hope that Second Brother did not get a heart attack tonight

With the Sheng Kais status as Huang Yaos CEO, the trio was escorted into the main venue when they arrived.

In the grand palacelike hall, no less than a hundred persons had already arrived.

Third Brother looked around, but found no sign of Sheng Xiao.

With that being the case, he went off to acquaint himself with the little beauties present.

Nonetheless, there were still the select few who had worked with Zhongteng and met their CEO before.

Those individuals would merely smile but hold their tongues when they were asked about him.

Wont you see for yourself when he arrives?
