Chapter 53 Planning the Show
Recently, there has been a series of news related to the financial and entertainment sectors, all involving the Qi family group.
“# The wife of the Qi Group’s president was caught having an affair and fled with money! #”
“# The president of the Qi Group was cuckolded #”
“# The wife of a famous entrepreneur becomes the mistress, wears out the original wife, bullies the legitimate child of marriage, and even spends her husband’s money on nurturing young gigolos outside. Moreover, she spreads false ‘scandals’ about her husband on the internet. Her intentions are deep and malicious, beyond the imagination of netizens. #”
Various forums and media outlets have all reported on this recent big news to some extent, and its popularity has been soaring, only rising and not falling.
Qi Weixiong watched as the online discussion about this news became increasingly heated. Even though there were some unfavorable news about him, as long as it could make Guo Xia truly feel the cost of defying him, those were trivial matters.
However, Qi Weixiong probably never imagined that when Guo Xia and Qi Lei saw these news reports, their eyes were filled with disdain, contempt, and mockery.
“Qi Weixiong, this fool, has truly taken the bait.”
Guo Xia looked at the negative news about her trending online, as well as the curses and disdain from netizens in the comment section, and her smile grew wider.
“It seems that our understanding of Qi Weixiong is even deeper than we thought. Our decision was indeed correct.”
Qi Lei said with a smile as he patted Guo Xia’s shoulder from behind.
“Let the bullet fly a little longer. This way, when it hits him in the chest, he will feel the piercing pain~”
Guo Xia waved her hand backward, stood up, and walked to the window, looking out at the deep blue sea.
Suddenly, a massive wave violently crashed against the rocks, splashing water everywhere.
Guo Xia, through the window, lightly pointed to the position of the rocks with her finger and said softly, “Without hitting the south wall, there’s no turning back. This wave, if it doesn’t scatter when it hits the rocks, then it doesn’t know the hardness of the rocks.”
While online news was breaking, Qi Weixiong’s legal department also filed a lawsuit against Guo Xia for her illegal activities.
For a time, Qi Weixiong and Guo Xia became the focal points of both the financial and entertainment sectors.
However, Guo Xia and Qi Lei seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Even though there was such a commotion online, they didn’t show up to speak.
On the contrary, because Qi Weixiong was a public figure, many reporters were camping outside the Qi Group’s entrance, waiting to interview him.
This suited his intentions perfectly. Even if these reporters didn’t come to interview him spontaneously, he would have arranged interviews himself.
After all, he wanted to firmly gather public opinion on his side.
After the news of him being the victim spread, the stock of the Qi Group did indeed rebound. However, it wasn’t enough to revive a company on its last legs.
But what surprised Qi Weixiong even more was that those companies that had previously ignored him were now actively seeking him out for cooperation. This was truly an unexpected joy.
He never thought that the power of influence was so significant.
Public opinion could destroy a person, but it could also elevate them.
Seeing the company slightly rejuvenated through the power of public opinion this time, Qi Weixiong became more convinced that this plan was feasible.
He must make good use of this opportunity.
And all thanks to that woman, Guo Xia.
To prevent Guo Xia from playing any tricks, only Qi Weixiong and his confidants knew the extent to which the Qi Group was rebounding.
Qi Weixiong learned a great lesson from this. He finally became smarter.
To ensure the continued development of his industry, he couldn’t flaunt it as he did before, which only attracted envy from his peers and unnecessary trouble.
However, what Qi Weixiong didn’t know was that he was merely a pawn being used.
How could someone inside the game know that all of this was just a meticulously crafted play for destruction?
[Shen Kuozhi: The plan is proceeding smoothly, and Qi Weixiong took the bait.]
[Qi Yue: Alright, thank you.]
On the other end of the phone, Qi Yue absorbed everything that had happened in the Qi Group these past few days.
The reason many companies were discussing business with the Qi Group recently was all part of Qi Yue’s plan.
He knew Qi Weixiong too well, and every step was within his plan.
Compared to Qi Weixiong, the only variables Qi Yue worried about were Guo Xia and her son.
He didn’t know their whereabouts now, and he wasn’t sure if they had enough courage and ambition.
Qi Yue raised his hand and unconsciously touched the jade pendant in the middle of his collarbone through his clothes.
He wouldn’t fight an unprepared battle. Since there were variables with Guo Xia and her son, he would minimize those variables.
Just as he was immersed in his own world, his phone vibrated, and it was another message from Shen Kuozhi.
[Shen Kuozhi: There’s a banquet tonight that you and I need to attend together.]
[Qi Yue: Alright, send me the time and location.]
These days, it was Shen Kuozhi who was doing things for him, and Shen Kuozhi only needed him to accompany him to some events.
For Qi Yue, attending such events was extremely easy.
He could eat and drink, be a tool by Shen Kuozhi’s side, occasionally show off his status as Shen Kuozhi’s legitimate spouse, fend off potential suitors, and it required almost no effort, yet it helped him build connections.
Rather than helping Shen Kuozhi, it seemed more like Qi Yue was accumulating connections for himself.
Looking at the message about the banquet on his phone, Qi Yue absentmindedly tapped the location for tonight with his index finger.
“Rongsheng Grand Hotel. Looks like tonight’s event will be quite grand.”
At the end of the workday, as Qi Yue walked out of the company’s gate, he received a call from Shen Kuozhi.
“Hello, this is Shen Kuozhi. Are you done with work?”
“Yeah, just about to leave.”
“I’ll come to pick you up for some touch-up makeup. Wait at the entrance for a moment, I’ll be there soon.”
“Alright.”
Qi Yue absentmindedly slid his left hand up and down the back of his phone.
Since his conversation with Shen Kuozhi, every time he sat in the passenger seat of Shen Kuozhi’s car, he couldn’t help but recall their conversation that day. Whenever he remembered, he felt a slight awkwardness between them.
After the call ended, Qi Yue didn’t wait long before he saw that familiar black SUV slowly stop in front of him. Soon after, a calm and handsome face appeared in Qi Yue’s eyes.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“It’s okay…” It felt like it had only been a minute or so.
He swallowed the latter part of his sentence. They shouldn’t say too much useless chatter about their relationship now.
Since Qi Yue appeared within Shen Kuozhi’s line of sight, Shen Kuozhi had been silently observing him, and he seemed to be in good spirits.
It seemed that even without him, Yue Yue was doing well, and their plan to retaliate against the Qi family was going smoothly.
With Qi Yue’s current confident and strong state, Shen Kuozhi felt relieved. Even if there were any mishaps in the future, he didn’t have to worry about Yue Yue being bullied by others.
“Although tonight’s banquet is for entertainment, there will be many big shots attending. You might need to accompany me throughout, and there may not be time for dining, so let’s grab something to eat while doing makeup later.”
Qi Yue subconsciously nodded, realizing quickly that Shen Kuozhi was driving and might not see his gesture, so he added, “Alright, I’ll follow your arrangement.”
Little did he know that Shen Kuozhi noticed all these subtle movements.
Shen Kuozhi kept his gaze forward, suppressing his smile as much as possible.
At the makeup studio, the meal Shen Kuozhi ordered had already arrived.
“Let’s eat first. There’s no rush to do makeup after we eat.”
“Okay.”
Qi Yue nodded in agreement. Having makeup done before eating could indeed affect the styling, so it was better to eat first.
Whether intentionally or not, Shen Kuozhi ordered dishes that Qi Yue loved.
But Shen Kuozhi had always been considerate. Qi Yue had felt it since their first blind date.
Since they had to attend an evening event tonight, Qi Yue didn’t eat much, just enough to fill his stomach a bit before putting down the chopsticks.
“Why did you only eat so little? Is tonight’s food not to your liking?” Shen Kuozhi’s voice reached Qi Yue’s ears just as he put down the chopsticks.
“It’s not that the food isn’t to my liking. We have an evening event tonight, so it’s not good to eat too much.”
Hearing Qi Yue’s explanation, Shen Kuozhi didn’t say anything more and also put down his chopsticks.
Both of them had outstanding looks and good features, and there wasn’t much makeup needed on their faces. They just needed to style their hair and match their outfits, so it didn’t take much time.
Tonight, Shen Kuozhi had prepared a silver pinstripe suit, exuding a cool and elegant style. After putting it on, he looked even more handsome and refined.
When he and Shen Kuozhi stood side by side in their outfits, anyone who saw them would marvel at how well they matched.
After finishing their styling, Shen Kuozhi took Qi Yue to the destination for tonight: Rongsheng Grand Hotel.
Rongsheng Grand Hotel was a genuine five-star hotel in the capital, and tonight’s event had taken over the entire hotel.
However, Qi Yue didn’t know the specific purpose of this event. He only knew the time and location from Shen Kuozhi and didn’t ask further.
So when he arrived at the destination with Shen Kuozhi, he only then realized that the purpose of tonight’s event was to welcome the eldest son of one of the Four Great Families of the capital, the Qi family.
No wonder it was considered an entertainment event, yet it attracted so many big shots.
The Qi family and the Shen family were equally prominent, and the grand welcome for the eldest son’s return was extravagant, befitting their status.
Without Shen Kuozhi’s connections and introductions, Qi Yue would never have been able to attend such high society events.
Qi Yue’s mind was swirling with thoughts, but his face remained calm.
Walking side by side with Shen Kuozhi, they became a beautiful sight as they entered the venue.
Inside the venue, Shen Kuozhi took Qi Yue to greet the elders of the Qi family, the organizers of tonight’s event.
“Uncle Qi, hello. This is my husband, Qi Yue.”
“Ah, hello, hello!”
After exchanging pleasantries with the elders of the Qi family, who were of the main lineage, Shen Kuozhi then introduced Qi Yue to the protagonist of tonight’s banquet, Qi Yunhan.
