Qi Lei took a deep breath after Gu Lingsha left his office. He stared quietly at the document she left behind.

He bent over and picked it up.

Then, he grinned after glancing through the content.

“Master Qi, what’s in it?” Yang Sheng asked when he noticed that something was not right.

Qi Lei’s eyes darkened. “What else could it be? They are trying to get me out of the way after Qi Feng joined the company. I just didn’t expect her to agree too.”

“What do you mean, Master Qi?” Yang Sheng was confused.

“Shasha suggested for me to be transferred to City B, with the reason being the development of a new market,” Qi Lei gave a simple explanation.

Yang Sheng’s expression froze. “Do you mean that it’s Manager Gu’s idea? But things are fine as they are now in City B, aren’t they? There’s no point transferring there now. Are they trying to remove you?”

Yang Sheng seemed troubled. He felt sorry for Manager Gu about what happened just now, but he did not expect her to do something like this either. It seemed as if she was blaming Master Qi for being cold-blooded, when in fact, she was the one acting ruthlessly.

Yang Sheng gave Qi Lei an odd expression. “Master Qi, then what should we do now? Maybe she wants you out because of your relationship with Chairman Mu. Does she wants you to stay neutral?”

Qi Lei scoffed as he tossed the document onto the table and continued drinking his tea. “Stay neutral? Does she think I’m a fool? Qi Qiming is just trying to limit my influence. Qi Feng and her want to render me powerless. I’d have no say in important matters at all after being transferred externally for one or two years.”

“That’s true, Master Qi. It took us so long to change the stakeholders’ perspective. Our efforts will be wasted if we leave right now. If you take charge of things in City B, we’ll rarely return here, unlike normal work abroad.” Yang Sheng sounded uneasy.

Qi Lei’s eyes darkened.

“We were careless. If we could travel between both places, that would give us an advantage, but now...”

Qi Lei felt a headache coming on. He also felt bitter because he was reminded about how Gu Lingsha acted just now.

“What should we do?” Worried, Yang Sheng hoped that Qi Lei would be able to stand on his own within Qi Kai.

Chenye Movies and Television was slowly getting on track. Furthermore, it was a crucial time period at the moment...

Qi Lei paused as he put down his cup and stood up. “I won’t just take this as it is. I’ll take a risk.”

He would ask for Qi Qiming’s opinion. He could not just allow himself to be manipulated by Qi Feng. At least, he had to fight for his freedom to travel between two cities. South River Project No. 1 was going smoothly whereas operations within Glory World were settling down too, so...

“Master Qi, we...”

‘September...Don’t overthink it. Have you made the arrangements at the hotel? And someone to pick them up?” Qi Lei did not want to continue on this conversation, so he shifted his attention to the client.

“I’ve made the appropriate arrangements. Don’t worry,” Yang Sheng replied.

“Do not tell anyone about it first. I’ll go talk to my father when I’m less busy.”

Qi Lei was against it, but there was no other way for him as he had no choice.

“Yes, Master Qi!” Yang Sheng noticed that Qi Lei was not in a good mood, so he left the room quietly.

...

The media soon caught onto the matter between Gu Qiwu and Doris, so many people started gossiping about them. Doris accumulated evidence and handed them to the court, but they did not reach an agreement within a week. Finally, Gu Qiwu received a summon. Their case was set for the 10th of September.

This matter was getting out of hand with even Gu Lingsha being targeted by the reporters. Mu Lingshi was troubled as well, but fortunately, she was staying in the Mu residence and was hardly affected.

Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye went on with their lives as usual. They had their peaceful days compared to the chaos Gu Lingsha was facing.

It was the weekend. Xi Xiaye brought out the breakfast she made and saw the man enjoying some tea while reading the papers.

Xi Xiaye took a glance at the papers to see news updates on Gu Qiwu and Doris.

“Have breakfast first. Didn’t you promise Father to play golf today?”

At midnight, Mu Tangchuan had suddenly invited him to play a game of golf that day, thus Xi Xiaye guessed that they would like to have some time for themselves.

“Aren’t you coming?” Mu Yuchen asked without even lifting his head.

“Mother invited me to visit the temple with her.”

The safety charm she got for him had disappeared for some reason. Since things were getting less peaceful lately, she decided to follow Zhuang Shurong to the temple. After all, these matters had been handled by Wang Hui when she was still alive.

To her, she was not being superstitious. She just wanted a peace of mind.

“Remember to bring the bodyguards. Tell Mother I won’t be going back to the Mu residence tonight, so let our son stay there. You’ve also been quite busy lately. Just let my parents take care of him.”

Mu Yuchen put the papers down and walked over.

“Mother told me about it. By the way, Gu Qiwu and Doris’s divorce case is going to court on the 10th of next month. Mother told me to notify you.”

“I saw it in the papers. Don’t worry and let them fight between themselves. Grandpa and the others should be back in a few days.” Mu Yuchen did not seem to care about Gu Qiwu and Doris though they did make him a little uneasy before this.

“They are coming back tomorrow evening. It’s time for Xiao Rui to go back to school again after a few days of rest. With the students returning to school, my parents also need time to prepare.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
