Chapter 36 Shen Kuozhi’s Awareness: Posing as a Netizen to Pursue His Wife
On one side was the prestigious Shen family, and on the other was the effort to legitimize an illegitimate child. Qi Weixiong could clearly distinguish which was more important.
So, after Qi Lei was reprimanded by Qi Weixiong, he and Guo Xia began to discuss how to scheme against Qi Weixiong and take over the Qi family’s inheritance.
Unexpectedly, Qi Weixiong was about to take action at home again today, and Qi Lei’s eyes darkened.
He silently vowed in his heart that he would eventually bring down Qi Weixiong and let him taste the bitterness of being oppressed.
Although the inexplicable anger in his heart had subsided, Qi Weixiong, constrained by his pride, grunted and roughly told Qi Lei, “What are you still standing there for? Go back to your room.”
“Okay, I’m going to bed now. Dad, you’ve had a long day, so you should rest early too.”
“Mm.”
Qi Weixiong watched his obedient son and felt quite relieved that he didn’t dare to disobey. He nodded and turned to walk towards the master bedroom.
Seeing that Qi Weixiong didn’t erupt again, Qi Lei gestured to Guo Xia behind Qi Weixiong to follow him.
Guo Xia understood his signal and obediently followed Qi Weixiong back to the bedroom.
“Weixiong, you’ve had a long day. Let me give you a massage.”
“Mm.”
Qi Weixiong lay down on the bed, indicating for Guo Xia to massage him.
“Which madams did you meet with today?”
Listening to his words, it seemed that Qi Weixiong still had some lingering emotions about what had just happened.
Guo Xia blinked from a position where Qi Weixiong couldn’t see her and fed him the pre-prepared words.
“The afternoon tea party was organized by the second Mrs. Shen of the Shen family. It was quite an opportunity for me to get in touch with them.”
“Oh? Did you meet Shen Tan’s wife?”
“Yes, it was organized by his wife, Meng Jiang.”
The couple had only recently returned from abroad, and they were people with real power. Even if they only made an appearance in front of them, it was quite remarkable.
Guo Xia, this woman, could actually make connections with them, proving she still had some use.
“Did you talk to Meng Jiang?”
“Naturally. Who am I? I’m your woman, Qi Weixiong. How could I not shine in such an occasion?”
As Guo Xia gently massaged Qi Weixiong’s shoulders, she smiled and leaned closer to him, the scent of perfume lingering around Qi Weixiong’s nose.
Lying in the arms of a beautiful woman, intoxicated and dreamy, he had no mind to think about business matters.

The initial app of Qi Yue’s company had already been developed and was currently in beta testing. It included many new features.
One of them was the anonymous “friendship” function, but here, “friendship” wasn’t with just any internet users; it was only with contacts from the phone’s address book.
These were “familiar strangers,” allowing for manipulation and a sense of novelty.
Because the app was still in its early stages, only a few of the planned features had been developed, and this anonymous friendship was one of them.
All of Yue Tingyun’s staff participated in the app testing, but because they only had a dozen or so employees, the number was definitely not enough.
So, Qi Yue also mobilized everyone to invite their relatives and friends to participate, with rewards for finding bugs.
Qi Yue himself also spent a day promoting the app on his social media.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of the beta test, Qi Yue’s account received an anonymous chat message.
[Anonymous]: Handsome guy~ Can we be friends?
Qi Yue’s contacts were all close acquaintances, so unfamiliar people wouldn’t even be in his contacts.
So, this message must have been sent by one of his less thoughtful friends.
After thinking it over, the one likely to send such a message was probably Lin Xiao.
【Me】I only make friends with handsome guys, sorry for rejecting you if you’re not handsome.
Soon, a new message replied.
【Anonymous】Then we’re friends now~ I’m extremely good-looking, guaranteed to blind your eyes with my handsomeness.
【Me】I’d rather not, between you and my eyes, I choose my eyes.
【Anonymous】Okay then, if we can’t be friends, let’s be internet buddies. What are you having for dinner tonight? Give me some inspiration.
Qi Yue saw that this person seemed to be getting hooked on chatting. Instead of replying, he opened WeChat and found Lin Xiao’s chat box.
[Qi Yue: Lin, are you free lately?]
[Smile: Oh~ Is Qi Yue asking me out?]
[Qi Yue: Let’s have dinner together.]
[Qi Yue: You’ll find out what we’re having when we eat together.]
[Smile: Oh, you know me so well, Yue Yue. I didn’t expect you to guess that I was thinking about you.]
[Smile: Here’s me, being manipulated.JPG]
[Qi Yue: Enough with the jokes. I’ll send you the time and place.]
Qi Yue sent the time and place, then suddenly remembered something and sent a message to Shen Kuozhi as well.
[Qi Yue: Shen Ge, I won’t be coming home for dinner tonight.]
[Shen Kuozhi: Okay]
Qi Yue didn’t expect Shen Kuozhi to reply instantly. If he wasn’t mistaken, it seemed to be during work hours.
After sending a message to Lin Xiao on WeChat, the anonymous netizen didn’t send any more messages. It seemed that this person was indeed Lin Xiao.
Meanwhile, Shen Kuozhi, who had finished dealing with the complicated work, finally took a break. He saw Qi Yue’s new social media post.
He knew that Qi Yue was working on this development, but he didn’t expect the beta version to be available so soon.
After reading the text of Qi Yue’s post and briefly understanding the app’s features, Shen Kuozhi downloaded the app.
Because he was the only one among his contacts who had downloaded the app so far, this anonymous friendship feature was essentially an open directional chat function for him.
He tried to use internet slang to send a message to Qi Yue, wondering if Qi Yue would recognize him.
As it turned out, from Qi Yue’s reply, Shen Kuozhi could tell that the other party definitely didn’t recognize him.
After all, when Qi Yue was with him, he didn’t speak in this manner at all.
Almost inadvertently, Shen Kuozhi continued the conversation following Qi Yue’s lead. He suddenly wanted to know what it would be like to approach Qi Yue as an internet friend.
With his third-dimensional armor making it difficult for him to pursue his wife, perhaps a different approach would be better?
While Shen Kuozhi was patting himself on the back for his cleverness, he unexpectedly received a message from Qi Yue saying he wouldn’t be coming home for dinner.
He furrowed his brows slightly. What should he do if his wife didn’t like eating at home? Was he unhappy with him? Or did he just dislike eating with him?!
Shen Kuozhi showed a hint of annoyance, but when the knocking on the door sounded, he returned to his usual self.
Not knowing that the anonymous netizen he just chatted with was Shen Kuozhi, Qi Yue was packing up and preparing to leave work.
He had arranged to meet Lin Xiao at 5:40 PM at a Thai restaurant.
Qi Yue had been there once before and found it quite good, so he wanted to take Lin Xiao there to try it out.
After the two met up, they sat in a corner relative to each other.
Lin Xiao played with his phone while saying to Qi Yue, “Yue Yue, your app is so much fun~ I saw your social media post on the way here and played with it all the way~ I even reposted it for you~ Aren’t I supportive?”
“Very supportive, thank you for your support, Lin Xiao!”
Qi Yue played along with Lin Xiao and bumped fists with him.
“Do you have any other fun features? Remember to think of me first when you update!”
“Of course, we’ll make sure you’re satisfied when it’s done.”
In this regard, Qi Yue was quite confident. If their team could achieve eighty percent of their planned features for this app, it would definitely be a hit after its launch.
After receiving Qi Yue’s promise, Lin Xiao happily played with his phone, pouting unconsciously.
“I want to try this anonymous chatting feature. I know who the other person is, but they don’t know who I am, right?”
Qi Yue nodded and explained to Lin Xiao:
“Yes, more or less. This is the first mode, where you know who the other person is when you send a message, but they won’t know who you are.
“The second mode is an upgraded version based on this, where both parties don’t know who the other person is, but we’re still developing that.”
“Oh~ I see~”
Lin Xiao nodded, seeming to understand but not entirely.
After explaining to Lin Xiao, Qi Yue suddenly realized.
Lin Xiao had downloaded the app on the way to dinner, and he probably didn’t even know how to use the “anonymous friend” feature.
So who was the person who messaged him in the afternoon?
A doubt arose in Qi Yue’s mind.
However, with many friends already having downloaded the app, it seemed unlikely to figure out who it was in the current situation.
But whether he knew or not wasn’t very important; they were all friends anyway.
Rather than trying to guess who the anonymous netizen from the afternoon was, Qi Yue was now more concerned about how Lin Xiao and Yue Tingyun were doing.
“Smile, do you have a new target now? Do you need big brother to accompany you to look around?”
“Don’t mention it! Yue Tingyun keeps popping up in front of me from time to time. The most annoying thing is, every time I try to talk to a handsome guy, he always interferes! I don’t even have a chance to meet any handsome guys! It’s so annoying!”
Although Lin Xiao said Yue Tingyun was annoying and not human, his tone of voice wasn’t that strong, and he didn’t look particularly angry.
It seemed that Lin Xiao hadn’t completely let go of Yue Tingyun yet.
Qi Yue, familiar with his good friend, sensed this from Lin Xiao’s demeanor.
It seemed that Lin Xiao hadn’t let go of Yue Tingyun yet.
But looking at Yue Tingyun’s attitude, nobody would believe he wasn’t interested in Lin Xiao.
These two were now just a quarreling couple, clearly having feelings for each other but refusing to admit it.
Who knows what they’re hinting at so subtly.
However, relationships are unpredictable and hard to decipher.
If he could help, Qi Yue still wanted to help them, but ultimately, it depended on what they both wanted.
Qi Yue sent a message to Yue Tingyun.
This WeChat account was obtained through the bar manager.
Yue Tingyun, oh Yue Tingyun, this is as far as I can help you.
