Airport.
Song Zhizhi and Wei Ziming arrived.
Jun Mingyu looked at Wei Ziming.
Song Zhizhi blatantly said, âMy dad doesnât feel reassured about me being out alone, so he asked my brother to accompany me.â
Jun Mingyu laughed for a moment.
Everyone would find such an excuse unbelievable.
But he felt no need to debunk it.
He never intended to harm Song Zhizhi for money, so of course, he didnât care whether she brought a bodyguard or not.
He said, âThis way please.â
Jun Mingyu had a private airplane.
He led Song Zhizhi on board.
On board the plane, there were no less than 10 men in black suits, with two more always at his side, ready to take orders.
Song Zhizhi sat next to Jun Mingyu.
Jun Mingyu said, âThis leave might not last for just one or two days, please be mentally prepared, Manager Song.â
âAre you suggesting that we wonât be able to return before the project is complete?â she asked him directly.
âYou can still take family leave.â
Song Zhizhi realized that this trip wasnât just about sorting out a few troublemakers. They were going to ensure the full development of Jinghe Village and even achieve tangible results.
She could only guess that she had somehow been implicated by Jun Mingyu.
She didnât ask further.
She usually stays out of governmental affairs.
For her, managing a business was already a headache. She certainly didnât have the capacity to get involved in government struggles.
Jun Mingyu didnât offer any further explanation either.
Many things were clear without being said, seeing through but not speaking through was the way of survival.
Jin City was still bustling.
Yin Qin left Luo Xiaolangâs house.
What happened last night⦠He couldnât put it into words, let alone utter them.
All he knew was that he was assaulted by Luo Xiaolang while tied up. When he woke up, Luo Xiaolang was gone.
The room was empty, the ropes that had bound him had disappeared.
He didnât know how he had managed to leave Luo Xiaolangâs place, and how he had come to terms with the shocking truth.
Even now he wished he could just kill himself by ramming his head into something.
Dragging his heavy steps, he seemed to have ended up under Ji Baixingâs apartment on autopilot.
Looking up at the high floors.
Ji Baixing lived on the 9th floor.
She had probably gone to work.
He suddenly smiled.
The purity she maintained for 25 years was suddenly gone.
Just goneâ¦
He turned around and left.
He had no intention of approaching Ji Baixing.
What could he achieve by finding her?
In reality, they had gone their separate ways a long time ago.
From the moment they broke off their engagement, they could never be together. He was the one who couldnât let go. Deep in his heart, he still held on to this woman.
Now, she had found her happiness.
Now, there was nothing he could offer Ji Baixing.
He thought, from now on, there should be no lingering feelings.
He turned and left.
Moved away quietly from Ji Baixingâs apartment.
As he left the residential area and hailed a taxi.
He caught sight of Li Wenjun.
He saw him returning.
Didnât he say heâd be gone for a week?
It had only been two days.
Perhaps, he couldnât rest assured.
Yin Qin even managed to smile in that moment.
As long as Ji Baixing is happy, itâs enough.
It was time for him to exit the stage a long time ago.
He turned around to leave.
However, he noticed Li Wenjun getting out of the car, only to get back in.
Yin Qin was somewhat surprised. From where he stood, it looked like Li Wenjun was embracing someone.
Just as he tried to get a clearer look, Li Wenjun got out of the car, dragging his suitcase towards the residential area.
Adopting a new position, Yin Qin quickly hailed a taxi and followed the car that had dropped Li Wenjun off.
After tailing for a while.
The car stopped at a high-end residential complex in Jin City.
The driver got out, opened the rear door deferentially.
A woman disembarked from the vehicle. She seemed young for her age, which was at least 40. Well-maintained, slightly plump but full of charm.
The driver carried the womanâs luggage and they both walked into the residential complex.
Yin Qin sat in his taxi, watching.
Maybe, he was just being overly suspicious.
What he saw might not have been clear, and his point of view might have led to bias.
Yin Qin leaned back on the car seat and said to the driver, âLetâs go.â
He was undeniably on the darker side. Even wishing that Li Wenjun was genuinely disloyal to Ji Baixing. That way, there would be a valid reason for Ji Baixing to part ways with Li Wenjun.
But come to think of it, what could parting ways achieve?
Ji Baixing would never fall for him.
Not in this lifetime.
It had always been his one-sided love.
He asked the driver to take him home.
Villa Hall.
Qin Keqin was watching TV in the living room, finding it strange to see her son home at this hour.
She asked casually, âDidnât you vow never to return after your father kicked you out?â
Yin Qin didnât answer. At the moment, he seemed as if he had been wronged in some way.
Qin Keqin was speechless, âYou have had rows with your father countless times, do you really need to act as if the sky has collapsed?â
Yin Qin still didnât answer.
He sat down beside his mother.
Qin Keqin said, âDonât worry, youâre his only offspring. Even if he is angry with himself, he wonât do anything to you.â
âItâs not about my dad.â Yin Qin said.
âWhatâs wrong then?â Qin Keqin asked. She suddenly thought of something and said, âIs it about your scandal? Everyone is calling you a scoundrel? I think so too. Why did you provoke Ji Baixing again, knowing she doesnât like youâ¦â
âMom.â Yin Qin suddenly called out to her, loudly.
His eyes were red at that moment.
Qin Keqin pursed her lips, swallowing the rest of her words. She said, âYouâre a mess over Ji Baixing! Tell me, who do you take after? How can you be so utterly devoted to someone?â
âMomâ¦â Yin Qinâs eyes reddened further, his nose tingled, âI lost my virginity!â
Having said that.
He burst into tears.
Qin Keqin was completely taken aback by her son.
She looked straight at Yin Qin.
Yin Qin was crying his heart out.
He had held back from the night before until now, he was breaking down.
Every time he thought about his ordeal and his motherâs gaze, he just couldnât contain himself.
âIâve kept my purity for 25 years, and itâs just vanished!â Yin Qin said loudly.
The grief was too much to bear.
Qin Keqin was speechless.
Was it such a big deal?!
Was there a need to act as if life was over?!
Even his fatherâs adultery didnât provoke such a reaction.
No.
To be precise, his father probably didnât think much of it at all.
Qin Keqin asked Yin Qin, âWho was it with?â
The moment she asked who it was, Yin Qin was even more distressed.
Qin Keqin muttered to herself, âIt certainly wasnât Ji Baixing.â
If it was Ji Baixing, Yin Qin would have been on cloud nine by now.
âCould it be⦠Luo Xiaolang?â Qin Keqin sounded certain.
Yin Qinâs wailing paused for a moment.
Yes.
Itâs that little wolf dog!
That little wolf dog, it bites ferociously!
Qin Keqin couldnât help but laugh.
She really laughed.
Yin Qin was infuriated by Qin Keqinâs laughter, âAre you really my mother or not?â
âWere you forced?â Qin Keqin tried to suppress her laughter and asked.
âI canât beat her! I couldnât beat her!â Yin Qin was devastated.
If he could have beaten her, he wouldnât have felt so aggrieved last night.
âWhere is Luo Xiaolang?â Qin Keqin asked.
âGone.â The mention of Luo Xiaolang made Yin Qin even more frustrated.
When he woke up, he didnât even have someone to vent his anger on, Luo Xiaolang had disappeared!
âSo, Luo Xiaolang intended to walk away without taking responsibility.â Qin Keqin concluded.
âYes.â Yin Qin nodded.
As soon as he nodded, he realized something was wrong.
He hastily said, âWho asked her to take responsibility, I donât want to see her again! This is the biggest humiliation of my life! If I ever see her again Iâll kill her!â
âBut you canât beat her.â
âIâ¦â Yin Qin was on the verge of exploding, âAre you really my mother!â
âSo whatâs your plan now?â Qin Keqin looked serene.
âWhat plan?â
âYouâve been intimate with Luo Xiaolang, youâre not planning on marrying herâ¦â
âDonât even think about it!â Yin Qin interrupted his mother sharply, âI will never marry Luo Xiaolang in my life! Never!â
Qin Keqin looked at her sonâs reaction.
âNo matter how much Iâve humiliated myself, marrying a woman I donât like, I would never degrade myself to this extent. Luo Xiaolang is a tomboy, last night sheâ¦â Yin Qin couldnât say any more, âEnough, Iâm going back to my room to sleep, donât disturb me!â
Yin Qin stomped upstairs.
Muttering and cursing with every step!
The woman he was cursing was now sitting on a long-distance coach.
She bid farewell to Song Zhizhi, informed her master, and the revenge she had planned against Yin Qin the night before was complete.
Now, there was no reason not to leave.
She looked out the window, at the passing scenery, at Jin City receding further and further away.
She averted her gaze.
From this moment on, she probably wonât be setting foot on this territory ever again.
Half a year later.
Jihong Group.
Ji Baijian sat in the office, Ji Baili reported the status of the project to him.
Ji Baijian said, âKostal Company suddenly agreed to this project? Denied the involvement of any other world-leading companies, and chose to partner with us?â
Ji Baili nodded, âWe received a call from them early this morning, saying that they really liked our design concept and wanted to collaborate directly with us.â
Ji Baijian pressed his lips together.
Ji Baili looked at his brother and couldnât help but speak, âI also find it odd. Previously, we went through so many channels to discuss the project with them, each time they refused our visit, but now, theyâve suddenly agreed to hand us the project immediately after the first draft proposal was submitted. They even rejected other companies, specifically pointing out they wanted to cooperate with us.â
âThereâs definitely more to it.â Ji Baijian was sure, âIt took us half a year to build a slight relationship with Kostal Company, but we havenât really made it to the top executives yet. Now they suddenly agree to give the project to us, there must be a problem.â
âYes.â Ji Baili nodded, he also found it strange, âSo what do we do now? Do we still want the exclusive agency rights of Kostalâs international e-commerce platform?â
âNo!â Ji Baijian decided.
Ji Baili looked at him.
He didnât expect his brother to be so domineering.
The projected profits from the project cooperation were over 50 billion, that was pure profit, not the cooperation fund, and his brother just decided to let it go!
With some hesitation, Ji Baili asked, âAre you sure, brother?â
âI am very sure.â
âBut the boardâ¦â Ji Baili was concerned, âThose old fellows have been waiting for you to clinch this big deal, and now that itâs done, you suddenly say you donât want it, itâs not a good explanation.â
Before Ji Bailiâs words fell.
The phone in Ji Baijianâs office suddenly rang.
Ji Baijian picked up, âChairman.â
âBaijian, I heard that youâve got Kostalâs exclusive agency rights.â
Ji Baijian didnât say anything.
âAs expected, you didnât let your father down, in just half a year, youâve managed to suppress the First Group, making Kostal choose Jihong Group as the international agent worldwide. The profits from this project are astonishing, a lot of board members have called me to confirm that itâs true. I reckoned the project was your hard work, I couldnât take the credit from you, so Iâve announced a board meeting at 2 p.m., you can explain then.â
With that, they hung up excitedly.
Ji Baili looked at his brother, âWhat do we do now?â
Having grasped the project but abruptly deciding not to go along with it, how will he explain to the board!
He was fretting for his big brother.
However, his brother showed no reaction. He said indifferently, âJust turn them down directly. Tell them that the current general manager of Jihong Group, the person fully responsible for this agency project, namely me, Ji Baijian, has suddenly had a recurrence of heart disease. To avoid delaying Kostal Companyâs project I voluntarily relinquish this project cooperation. Please excuse any inconvenience this may cause. If necessary, we can recommend stronger enterprises to them, such as the First Group.â
Ji Baili stared straight at his big brother.
He would stop at nothing to achieve his goal, even using such a ploy.
âWhat are you waiting for?â
âOh!â Ji Baili came to his senses. Just as he was leaving, he suddenly thought of something, âWhat about the board of directorsâ¦â
âWhy would I care about the board of directors when I am critically ill.â
Alright, youâre always right.
Ji Baili left.
Ji Baijian also got up and left the company.
If he didnât leave now, there would be no reason to leave later.
He got into his car, driving and calling Yin Qin at the same time.
Yin Qin had been unusually well-behaved recently.
He hadnât caused any conflicts and was doing quite well at work.
In short, he was being so low-profile that it didnât seem like him!
Yin Qin was quite astonished to receive Ji Baijianâs call.
âWhatâs up, missing me now that your wife is not around?â Yin Qin teased.
âI have two tasks for you.â
Yin Qin was displeased.
Couldnât he be a little nicer to him?
Show a little concern for him?
Didnât he notice how low his spirits had been lately??!
âFirst, bring two reporters you trust to Yan Jinâs hospital. Iâll send you the room number later,â Ji Baijian instructed. âSecond, donât ask anything, just do as youâre told.â
The call was hung up.
Damn it.
Ji Baijian must have read his mind, knowing he was curious and immediately shutting him up.
He put down his phone in a huff.
He still obediently followed the instructions though.
After sorting things out for a while, he received a message from Ji Baijian.
He was preparing to take the reporters with him.
Just as he reached the office door, he bumped into Weng Cheng.
Yin Qin didnât bother with Weng Cheng, he always looked diligent at work in the company, while he played the fool.
Without Luo Xiaolangâs live streaming platform, even though he had found some hosts to create a semi-established live channel, the effect was not even a tenth of what Luo Xiaolang had achieved.
Damn!
Yin Qin looked a bit upset.
Thinking about Luo Xiaolang always made him furious!
That âlittle wolfâ, once disappeared, was completely out of sight.
In fact, he knew Luo Xiaolang had returned to Wulin Temple.
What irritated him was that she didnât give a heads up. After what happened that night, she never gave an explanation and just left!
Out of irritation, he called her.
A standard womanâs voice came from the other end of the phone, âThe number you have dialed is unassigned, please check and dial againâ¦â
Luo Xiaolang had even terminated her phone number!
He hoped he would never see Luo Xiaolang in this life, if he saw her again he would strangle her to death!
Weng Cheng coldly watched Yin Qin disappearing from view.
Yin Qin always looked down on him, not only in the company, but everywhere.
Even when he took the initiative to say hello to him, he was still acting high and mighty.
Did he really think that the Milky Way would be his in the future?!
Weng Cheng smirked.
Soon he would crush Yin Qin under his feet so he would never be able to get up again!
His eyes flickered, looking at the message on his phone.
âMeet at the old place at 10 pm.â
âWe must meet.â
After replying to the message, Weng Cheng deleted it.
He had never dreamed that Ye Wenhan, the helmsman of Commercial Management, would take the initiative to cooperate with him!
Really, it was a godsend!
