During this period, Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling frequently accompanied Gu Hongwei in reclaiming the inheritance left by Old Master Gu for Gu Zhaoming.
This portion of the inheritance had long been managed by the Gu family's Elder Council, with most of it under the control of the Great Elder.
The elders of the council assumed Gu Zhaoming would not reclaim his share, presuming the assets belonged to them. Thus, Gu Zhaoming's retrieval of his rightful portion also impacted the interests of the elders.
Besides the fifth elder, who staunchly supported Gu Zhaoming, only the second and seventh elders, former allies of Gu Zhaoming, stood by his side.
As Gu Zhaoming reclaimed his inheritance and solidified his authority within the family, he also expanded Zhaofeng Entertainment in the capital.
While Zhaofeng Entertainment ranked among the top three companies in the entertainment industry, it still trailed slightly behind Tiansheng and Ruihua.
