Chapter 272: 270: Winning Over the Qin Family (2) I only negotiate with Ji Baijian (Second update)

Translator: 549690339

Upon hearing Yin Bin’s unabashed praise, Wei Cheng was smug as a bug, though on the surface he was the picture of humility.

He said, “Uncle, you’re overpraising me. Xiaoqin is actually very intelligent, he just tends to be ruled by his emotions.”

Yin Bin shook his head, “His mind has never really been on the company.”

“That’s why, Uncle, I should arrange the news coverage.”

“No need.” Yin Bin suddenly sighed.

Weicheng looked at him incredulously, “Uncle, you must realize that it’s a win-win situation.”

“If I do this, Xiaoqin will despise me for the rest of his life.” Yin Bin helplessly replied, “Alright, let him throw his tantrum.”

Weicheng’s face darkened instantly.

All these years…

He had spent so many years dutifully sucking up to Yin Bin, only to realize that in Yin Bin’s eyes, his son always remained the top priority.

In his heart, his son could do no wrong, while he was mere hired help.

Jealousy burned within him.

Yin Bin broke the silence, “Wei Cheng, take care of your job, ignore that useless cousin of yours.”

“Okay.” Weicheng nodded.

His departure was marked by a distinct change in his complexion.

For so many years, he had endured humiliation and weight of responsibility by Yin Bin’s side, and yet, he was still less significant than Xiaoqin, less significant than that useless Xiaoqin!

He couldn’t accept it.

He picked up the phone and dialed, “Send Ji Baixin’s news to Wenfeng Media.”

“Boss?”

“Don’t let anyone know!”

“Yes.”

Weicheng hung up, a sinister smile on his face.

He just couldn’t believe he couldn’t outmaneuver Yin Bin and Xiaoqin.

With this move, Xiaoqin would definitely suspect that Yin Bin was the one who released the news!

Eventually, this would deepen the rift between both parties.

Sooner or later, Yin Bin would be extremely disappointed in Xiaoqin, and then, the Milky Way Corporation would be his!

Meanwhile, in the other office, Xiaoqin…

Remained blissfully ignorant at present.

He was watching his own news coverage, seeing the increasing popularity bit by bit, slowly about to overtake the news concerning Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao.

He was considering how he could further fan the flames.

He picked up the phone to call his cronies, “I’m treating you guys tonight, don’t forget to bring your girls, we will party on a yacht.”

“Sir Yin, are you reacting excessively?” the other side teased, “With scandal all around you, you still want to have a good time? Usually, you’re not so interested in stepping out. Have you suddenly changed your ways?”

“It’s none of your business!” Yin Qin was irritated, “In one word, are you coming or not?!”

“If Sir Yin is inviting, of course we’ll come.”

“8 o’clock this evening, Fengyang Pier; I’ll charter a yacht to pick you up.”

“Okay.”

Yin Qin hung up the phone and left the office immediately.

The secretary stared at her deputy director’s retreating figure.

He must have come to the company just to have a good time!

Despite starting so much drama in the media, he still acted like he owned the world.

Yin Qin left the Milky Way Building in his car and made another call.

Luo Xiaolang answered, frowning, “Yes?”

“Where are you?”

Luo Xiaolang replied, “At my place, I’ll be going to pick up Song Zhizhi soon.”

Because the weather was hot and ordinary people couldn’t enter Commercial Management, Song Zhizhi asked her to pick her up at a designated time each day.

“I’ll come over.”

“…” Luo Xiaolang frowned again.

She was quite annoyed with Yin Qin.

Not even 20 minutes had passed when someone knocked on her door.

Yin Qin appeared on her doorstep, “I’ll take you out tonight.”

“I don’t want to go.”

“We’ll go sailing.” Yin Qin tried to entice her.

“Not interested.”

“We’ll ride a speedboat.” Yin Qin continued to coax.

Luo Xiaolang just stared at him, “Move, I need to pick up Song Zhizhi.”

“I’ll accompany you to play after you pick Song Zhizhi up.”

“I’ve already told you I’m not going.”

“Song Zhizhi will be at a dinner tonight and doesn’t need you.” Yin Qin continued.

Luo Xiaolang’s eyes narrowed.

She shot Yin Qin a harsh look.

Yin Qin put on a pleasing face, “I’m the only single one tonight at my friends’ gathering. You can just accompany me out of goodwill.”

Luo Xiaolang remained indifferent.

“Xiaolang, I beg you.” Yin Qin continued to coax.

Dealing with Luo Xiaolang was actually pretty easy.

All you need to know is that she can be coaxed but not bullied.

Luo Xiaolang suddenly fell silent.

Yin Qin had a triumphant look on his face, “I knew you’re the best.”

Luo Xiaolang agreed.

It wasn’t because Yin Qin’s efforts had softened her heart, but rather because his attempts at pleasing her were so nauseating. She didn’t want to poison her eyes, so she reluctantly agreed.

Yin Qin happily followed Luo Xiaolang to her car towards the commercial management building.

Luo Xiaolang picked up Song Zhizhi, returned to Song Zhizhi’s neighborhood to pick up Ji Baijian, and dropped them off at the place agreed upon with Qin Jingxiang. Only then did she get into Yin Qin’s car and leave.

Song Zhizhi watched as Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang drove away, her face slightly pale.

Ji Baijian said, “Don’t worry. Yin Qin sometimes seems eccentric, but he knows his limits and won’t truly harm Xiaolang.”

“I just don’t want Xiaolang to get involved in all this.”

“It will be okay once everything is over.”

Song Zhizhi pressed her lips together, thinking that Yin Qin also wasn’t having an easy time, so she didn’t say anything further.

The two of them entered the elevator together.

Ji Baijian still sat in his wheelchair, with Song Zhizhi pushing him in.

They arrived at the restaurant and were ushered into a private room by the staff.

Qin Jingxiang was already seated inside.

Seeing their arrival, she had a surprised look on her face, “I thought Yin Qin lied to me about Ji Baijian being here. It seems you’re really quite charming.”

Song Zhizhi helped Ji Baijian get up from his wheelchair and sit in the chair, before taking a seat opposite Qin Jingxiang, and smiling, “After all, we are a couple.”

One sentence was enough to drain the color from Qin Jingxiang’s face.

She responded coldly, “What do you want?”

Song Zhizhi said, “Let’s talk about cooperation.”

“Cooperation?” Qin Jingxiang obviously didn’t believe it, “What do we have to cooperate on? The IT project in S Country is already settled, and your father didn’t receive any disputes. After all, S Country actively rejected all foreigners, so the project’s failure can’t be blamed on your father.”

With that,

Qin Jingxiang looked at Ji Baijian.

She said, “It was you who fixed the loophole in S Country, wasn’t it?”

Qin Jingxiang was indeed very smart.

The moment she found out that S Country had fixed the loophole, she had her father investigate the hackers they had sent out and discovered that they had disappeared under their watchful eyes. So she was able to confirm that Ji Baijian was the one behind it all!

Ji Baijian simply responded, “Hmm.”

“Song Zhizhi, you really do have a lot of charm. You’ve given up hacking for so many years, but for her, you’re willing to do anything.” Qin Jingxiang spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

But inside, her jealousy was scorching.

“We didn’t come here today to flaunt my relationship with Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi was straightforward.

She didn’t want to waste time on trivial matters.

Qin Jingxiang took a sip from her lemon water, “So you want to discuss cooperation, eh?”

“Yes.”

“I can discuss it, but I don’t want to discuss it with you.” Qin Jingxiang said nonchalantly.

Song Zhizhi knew that she was a woman who would do as she said.

She heard her say slowly, “I will only negotiate with Ji Baijian.”

Song Zhizhi’s expression shifted slightly.

“If you don’t agree, that’s fine. After all, none of this really matters to me. Do you think I’m fighting with you for my father’s official position?” Qin Jingxiang laughed coldly, “I’m just trying to get back at you for stealing Ji Baijian. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have returned from abroad after so many years, only to come back once you and Ji Baijian got married.”

Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth.

Qin Jingxiang was indeed smart.

She knew very clearly why she was there today – for Qin Wenguo, not for her.

Song Zhizhi looked a bit uncomfortable.

Qin Jingxiang seemed completely calm, casually sipping her water, waiting for Song Zhizhi to decide.

Without thinking, Song Zhizhi knew that if she refused, Qin Jingxiang would simply leave.

It was frustrating to deal with such a woman. She could make your teeth itch with anger, but there was nothing you could do about her.

She said, “Fine.”

A victorious smile spread across Qin Jingxiang’s face.

Seeing her compromise must have been quite satisfying for her.

Ji Baijian frowned slightly, but at that moment, he didn’t object either.

Song Zhizhi said, “You two talk, I’ll wait outside for you.”

“Thank you.” Qin Jingxiang smiled.

Her smile was as harmlessly sweet as ever.

Song Zhizhi left.

It was really frustrating.

She had actually left her husband, a man of such good looks, alone with such a predator-like woman.

Even though this was her own decision, she still left with a very annoyed expression.

She left.

The door to the private room was then closed.

The moment the door closed, she clearly saw Qin Jingxiang’s hand reaching towards her husband’s…

Damn it!

So angry!
