Following the road-blocking incident, a certain vice mayor was directly reassigned, which was essentially an early retirement. The Wang family and Gu Shutong had a very unpleasant falling-out, but business still had to be discussed. The Wang family only served as a communication bridge and could not represent foreign investors. Furthermore, Gu Shutong never showed his face again afterwards; it was Vice Mayor Liu, who was in charge of the economy, handling all the coordination and communication.
The Wang family was not the Huashi Group Wang family and did not have that kind of clout. Attending the wedding was both a political task assigned by the municipal government and a matter of giving face to the Huashi Group Wang family. If it had truly been the wedding of the Huashi Group young master, Mayor Gu Shutong wouldn't have been the only one afraid to show up, and Municipal Committee Secretary Li Yuan would likely have come with him.
Suffice it to say that Gu Shutong's time that day had not been wasted. The foreign investors were extremely interested in investing in Huaxia, and the Wang family did not dare to meddle, knowing they would face severe consequences from Elder Wang if he found out.
