Chapter 881 - Making A Move (1)
Of course, Qi Lei’s series of actions were all taken in by Qi Qiming who practically glared at him throughout the entire meeting. Of course, Qi Lei knew that, but he did not care. Furthermore, it was not the first two or three times that he was doing this.
Qi Qiming did not like this son of his, but he was lazy to deal with such a petty person.
He felt that Qi Lei was becoming more and more spoiled. Most probably because of being angered by Qi Lei, he felt like his body was about to collapse, especially when he cleared out all of Wang Qin’s things without leaving a single thing behind. He did not even leave behind a pair of slippers that Wang Qin had worn, and when he was done clearing out, he burned all the things he could not take with him without leaving a single trace behind!
When he found out about this, he was furious back home. Quite a number of the servants at the Qi residence were fired because of that. Because he vomited blood from being angered, he had to rest a few days before recovering.
Ever since Wang Qin passed away, apart from the time he went home to get Wang Qin’s things, Qi Lei did not return to the Qi residence. Right now, the entire Qi residence was dead. Even Qi Qiming was a little afraid of going home because every time he did, he felt like the house was too empty. There was nothing, and it suddenly seemed as if he was the only one left in the entire world.
This gloom and loneliness were strange to him.
Many things were different now. Perhaps since Wang Qin left, he was bound to lose even more, but neither did he delve into it, nor did he want to.
When they saw Qi Qiming suddenly stop, everyone reflexively looked up. It was easy to read his gloomy expression. Everyone followed his gaze and indeed, they saw Qi Lei sleeping soundly with his head propped up.
Behind him, Assistant Yang Sheng had already turned pale. Even though this had happened many times, facing the many eyes that were focused on Qi Lei, Yang Sheng felt a lot more pressured. He could barely hold on anymore! Even he felt a little helpless seeing Qi Qiming’s darkened gaze.
Actually, Yang Sheng knew about Qi Lei’s pain and sorrow best. When VP Wang was still around, he seemed more relaxed, but once she had gone, even though he looked the same as before, Yang Sheng could still feel that Master Qi’s temperament had probably done a 180-degree change.
He seemed to be even more hardworking. Of course, his hard work could not be shown in the company. Instead, it was at home inside the library of City Z.
Qi Lei would practically go to the city library almost every week, borrowing very diverse books. In fact, every time he went, he would go by public transport like an ordinary person.
Other than that, he did not go to high society evening shows like before. Lately, he stayed at home mostly to manage documents at night or play games.
Yang Sheng did not know whether to feel happy or worried about this change. He thought about whether he should call Master Mu or Director Xi to just inform them. After all, VP Wang had technically entrusted them with an important task.
After that, Yang Sheng really could not bear such huge stress, so he gently pulled at Qi Lei’s shirt and called out carefully, “Master Qi!”
Qi Lei was sleeping comfortably, so naturally, he was not pleased to be woken up. His head slipped and almost hit the table. Suddenly, he glared angrily at Yang Sheng with eyes that were red from sleepiness. “Do you want to be fired?”
Upon seeing the crowd’s involuntary laughter, Qi Qiming was extremely annoyed. He angrily tossed the document in his hand onto the table and stared at Qi Lei furiously as he commanded coldly, “Qi Lei, stand up right now!”
Qi Lei was awake now. He could not help but glance up at Qi Qiming. Taking a deep breath in and standing up, his hands fixed his messy clothes before he said with a deep voice, “Are you all done? Is it time for me to speak?”
Gu Lingsha looked worriedly at Qi Lei before lowering her voice to plead to Qi Qiming, “Uncle Qi, calm down. Don’t be angry first. Lei looks a little tired.”
“This punk is out to anger me to death. He’s provoking me!” Qi Qiming took a deep breath and wanted to push the fury that reached his chest down.
“Lei, talk about your thoughts on South River Project No. 2. We’ve all discussed the concrete operational plan. The first part is the proposal for publicity. VP Wang was previously in charge of this segment, so I’m sure you should be quite familiar with it,” Gu Lingsha consoled Qi Qiming as she tried hard to smooth things over.
Once again, the crowd gathered their gaze on Qi Lei who sat relaxed and reached out to Yang Sheng behind him. Yang Sheng immediately understood and handed a document to him.
Qi Lei took it and casually flipped through it. His voice that had a hint of devilish charm was heard unhurriedly. “All of you have taken charge of this project. Even if I have any opinions, it doesn’t seem to matter, so what’s the use of this?!”
As Qi Lei said this, he sneered and then looked unenthusiastically at Qi Qiming. “But I can only do my best as a part of Qi Kai. For the publicity plans, I personally recommend Yueying Culture Media. I believe that Manager Xi can definitely execute the publicity aspect to perfection.”
Qi Lei saying this was like dropping a huge rock into the lake, causing many ripples.
Xi Xinyi’s status at the moment was still a little awkward. If it really came to publicity, it would not be Xi Xinyi’s Yueying Culture Media. Otherwise, where were the seniors with a solid foundation in Qi Kai supposed to stand their ground?
Xi Xinyi naturally did not expect Qi Lei to say that, so she was startled as she looked blankly at Qi Lei.
“How can we do that? It’s such a significant aspect. Of course, we should be the ones doing it. Yueying’s just a subsidiary company!”
Qi Lei had just finished when someone already objected to the idea. Obviously, the ones speaking were from Qi Qiming’s end.
“Yeah, how can we do that? I disagree too!”
“I disagree as well. What is the meaning of this!”
The sounds of objection immediately drowned the entire meeting room.
Even Gu Lingsha looked at Qi Lei in confusion. “Lei, can you explain your reasons?”
Qi Lei nonchalantly looked at everyone from the side, then tossed the information in his hand onto the table. “These are the results all you so-called seniors have been coming up with these years in showbiz. Can any of your accomplishments beat Yueying’s ones from this year?”
