Chapter 1202 - Qi Feng’s Trick (2)
Xi Xinyi wore a full black business suit which was very different from her previous style of dressing.
Surprised, Qi Lei signaled Xi Xinyi and then said, “Have a seat.”
Xi Xinyi nodded. “Thank you, Vice President Qi.” She sat down on the chair and handed him a document.
“Please go through this and sign your name at the bottom if there’s no issue,” she said.
Qi Lei squinted at her and straightened his back before taking a glance at the document. He then smiled. “You didn’t have to personally deliver this, did you?”
Xi Xinyi returned the smile. “Naturally, that’s not my primary purpose.”
She closed her eyes like she was in deep thought while Qi Lei remained silent and just watched her quietly, waiting for her to continue the conversation.
Xi Xinyi took a deep breath and looked into his eyes as she asked, “Has Chairman Mu been out of City Z lately?”
Chairman Mu?
Mu Yuchen?
Qi Lei raised his eyebrows as he stared right at Xi Xinyi without answering her.
Xi Xinyi had given Li Si a call, but it did not get through. She had something she needed to tell them.
“You don’t have to look at me like that. I know about your relationship with Mu Yuchen.” Xi Xinyi noticed that Qi Lei was wary of her, hence her explanation.
It was not as if Qi Lei could not trust Xi Xinyi, but he was not particularly fond of her after knowing what she had done to Xi Xiaye before. If Mu Yuchen had not told him, he would have given her a hard time in Qi Kai.
However, Mu Yuchen seemed to be very pleased with her performance.
Qi Lei looked at Xi Xinyi wryly. “He’s not in City Z, but he might be back tonight or tomorrow.”
He was not sure what Xi Xinyi would do. Xi Xinyi put on a bitter smile when Qi Lei was careful with his words around her.
“Don’t worry, Vice President Qi. I’m sure Chairman Mu has told you something about me,” she said in a firm tone.
“Oh?” Qi Lei put on his usual wicked smile. “I did have several meals at his place, but I don’t remember him telling me anything.”
“No worries, I understand. You wouldn’t have helped me during meetings several times otherwise.”
Qi Lei put the documents down. “You’re overthinking. You’re a talented and great worker.”
Xi Xinyi smiled and slowly got up. “I don’t mean anything. If that’s the case…Qi Feng is planning to invite CEO Xi from Fuhua, Vice President Zhang from Glory World, and several contractors related to the South River project for dinner at the Emperor Hotel this Friday night. I overheard him asking Manager Gu to call some reporters over as well. I don’t know what are they going to do. I just feel like it’s not a simple dinner. That’s all that I have to say.” She looked at him deep in the eyes before leaving.
1Qi Lei was stunned and his mind went numb for a moment.
Qi Feng had invited Xi Xiaye for dinner and asked some reporters to go over? What was he thinking?
1Qi Feng had always been cruel and fierce with his methods. Without Mu Yuchen around now, he had no idea what Qi Feng had in mind.
Qi Lei started to feel uneasy…
As he was deep in thought, Yang Sheng came into the room.
“Master Qi, has Manager Xi left?” Yang Sheng called out to him as he noticed a grim expression on Qi Lei’s face.
Qi Lei came back to his senses. Instead of looking at Yang Sheng, he glanced through the document and quickly signed his name at the bottom before handing it to Yang Sheng.
“Give it to her.”
Startled, Yang Sheng slowly took the document and asked, “Master, is something wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Leave me alone for now.”
Since Qi Lei did not answer his question, Yang Sheng left the room quietly.
Qi Lei took a deep breath and leaned against the back of his chair after Yang Sheng went out. His phone suddenly started ringing at this second, so he quickly picked it up.
“It’s me. Come over to my office right now.”
It was Qi Qiming. Qi Lei did not even need to guess what they were going to talk about! It must be about Gu Qiwu and Doris again.
Their divorce was almost certain, but the storm they had created was still raging outside.
While Gu Qiwu had the upper hand, he was in a stalemate with Doris. Qi Lei was almost impressed.
However, Doris was pretty close to Qi Feng lately. She probably was not satisfied after having been lied to after being married for so many years!
…
Friday night came by quickly.
In the CEO’s office in Fuhua Property, Xi Xiaye was still reading through documents when Lan Zilang entered the room.
“Ahem—” Lan Zilang coughed several times to get Xi Xiaye’s attention. She quickly put her documents down and smiled when she saw him. “Uncle Lan.”
“Working hours have already ended, yet you’re still working?” He smiled.
Xi Xiaye took a glance at the time. It was already 7:30 p.m. She put the document away. “I forgot about the time. The Emperor Hotel…”
“Xiaye, I’m afraid you can’t run away from this one. Qi Feng sent his assistant Morrison to pick you up.”
“He sent someone?” Xi Xiaye mumbled, “This feels really fishy. There must be something more to it.”
“It’s always good to be careful. Vice President Zhang Lan from Glory World has already gone over, and Gu Lingsha will be attending it with Qi Feng too. I’m sure it’s not just a simple dinner.”
