Chapter 1261 - Problem 1
Doris was wearing a beautiful light golden low-cut dress as she sat elegantly on the sofa. While she had an enticing smile on her face, her eyes were extremely cold.
She had a thin and long cigarette between her fingers and smoke wafted from between her crimson red lips.
“Miss, Qi Feng’s assistant Morrison is outside. He says he needs to see you personally,” a subordinate reported.
Doris raised her eyebrows as a faint light glinted in her eyes. She grinned with some sign of interest. “Qi Feng? He’s getting impatient now, isn’t he?”
She gave it some thought for a little while. Then, she grabbed the glass of wine on the table and emptied it. “Let him in!”
“Yes, Miss!” Her subordinate went out.
Soon after that, Morrison knocked on the door and entered.
“Ms. Doris!” Morrison bowed politely.
Doris let out another puff of smoke as she glanced at him, seeming unfazed by his arrival. “Why did Qi Feng send you here?”
She did not even invite Morrison to speak. Doris always acted all high and mighty toward the subordinates and was always like this every time Morrison came over.
“Master wanted to call you to talk about it, but it was a serious matter, so he sent me over,” Morrison said.
“A serious matter? What is it? Has Shasha been rescued? Or has Qi Kai’s stock stabilized? Have all the issues been solved?” Doris gently flicked the cigarette between her fingers as she said.
Morrison coughed before saying, “Qi Lei and Qi Qiming got into a fight. He wants to start out on his own. I’m sure you’ve been informed, Ms. Doris.”
Doris raised her eyebrows and smiled. “I did hear about that. What’s the matter? Didn’t CEO Qi say Second Master Qi requires some training?”
“Do you truly believe that’s true, Ms. Doris?” Morrison put on an odd smile.
As Doris let out a puff and extinguished the cigarette, she folded her arms. “Tell me, what did Qi Feng send you here to do?”
“Ms. Doris, Master means that he agrees to your conditions, but you must do all you can to save Missus, and you have to change your attitude towards Ms. Weiwei as well. Besides that, he would also like you to stop Second Master Qi, and lastly, make sure that no one will suspect Master for all of these.”
Doris’s grin grew wider when she heard Morrison’s words and her eyes were gleaming.
She was not a fool and she already captured the key information from those few words. Instantly, she stared at Morrison and asked, “How’s Qi Qiming’s attitude towards your Master right now?”
Her sharp glances stunned Morrison for a moment. He felt like this woman read him easily and she was emitting an enormous aura around her. Even Qi Feng had to act cautiously around her.
Morrison was not sure how to answer her question, so he kept quiet for the moment.
Doris knew what he was thinking about and she smiled. “There’s no need to get tensed up. No matter what Qi Feng says, he’s my son-in-law, after all, and Shasha is my only daughter. I only help people on my side anyway. I’ll treat him well as long as Qi Feng is nice to my daughter, but if he’s planning something else, then he should be careful.”
“You’ve misunderstood, Ms. Doris. Master has always been great to Ms. Shasha. He went through a lot because of her incident and he did all he could to try and rescue her, but probably due to Mu Yuchen’s trap, it was very difficult for him to be of help. Mu Yuchen is pretty influential in the political scene. I’m sure you understand this better than anyone else,” Morrison spoke carefully as he noticed Doris’s awful expression.
He grinned and continued, “Moreover, who could be sure that it wasn’t Mu Yuchen who was behind what happened between your divorce with Mr. Gu? Don’t forget who Zhuang Shurong is. Someone could’ve arranged the lawyer that Gu Qiwu looked for. I’m sure that you know about the meeting between Mr. Gu and Mu Lingshi, Ms. Doris? As such…”
Doris raised her hand and stopped him from continuing. Of course, she knew what happened. She was frustrated by Gu Qiwu’s tricks. As such a prideful woman, how could she let Gu Qiwu fool her for decades!?
She could not accept this at all.
Mu Zi?
Mu Lingtian?
Mu Lingshi?
Doris grinned. “What happened between Gu Qiwu and me is my own business. You don’t have to remind me about it! Qi Qiming probably has his doubts about Qi Feng now, doesn’t he? Or else, he wouldn’t put him in a mere director’s position. Is Qi Lei trying to take a step back in order to advance?”
Doris had thoroughly analyzed the situation!
If it was not for Qi Lei’s protest this time, Qi Qiming probably would have let Qi Feng take over Qi Kai soon, but with so many things happening right now, this matter had been delayed. It was apparent that Qi Qiming was beginning to have doubts.
It would not be an issue if Qi Lei did not achieve great results after starting a new company on his own, but he actually did accomplish something. Considering Qi Qiming’s guilt towards Wang Qin, as well as what Qi Lei already possessed, Qi Qiming might have to reconsider his successor!
Qi Feng was in a bind right now.
What a move!
Even Doris was impressed by Qi Lei.
Revealing his cards at a time like this was perfect. Qi Qiming could not even lift a finger against him!
“It’s fortunate that you understand what’s at stake here. You know that Master has it rough. Second Master Qi’s relationship with Ms. Shasha has broken up, and they won’t return to how they used to be in the past. He didn’t seem worried about Ms. Shasha’s incident at all, and he even claims that he’ll be on Mu Yuchen’s side…”
