Chapter 38: Qi Yue: This Is What You Deserve
As Qi Yue rested his eyes in the car, his phone beeped several times in succession, accompanied by vibrations.
The notification sound was from an app developed by their company – Table’s exclusive notification tone.
Qi Yue opened his eyes, unlocked his phone to check the messages, only to find that they were sent anonymously, the same person who wanted to be friends with him that afternoon.
[Anonymous]: Do you not know the dangers of staying up late? [Link]
[Anonymous]: How dangerous it is for a young boy to be alone outside? [Link]
[Anonymous]: Taxi accidents [Link]
Qi Yue looked at the names and accompanying links that popped up on his phone, his lips twitched.
What is all this about?
Why does it feel like some kind of pyramid scheme?
Seeing these nonsensical links, Qi Yue thought the other party was just fooling around, so he ignored them.
After clearing the notifications, Qi Yue closed his eyes again to rest.
Upon arriving home, familiar warm lights illuminated the foyer and the small living room.
Qi Yue changed his shoes, walked into the living room, where on the coffee table lay the dessert sent by Shen Kuozhi in the photo, but he didn’t see Shen Kuozhi.
For some reason, Qi Yue felt a bit empty inside.
He’s probably already asleep.
Qi Yue thought to himself, washed his hands in the bathroom, then walked back to the coffee table, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
“Back? Is it tasty?”
A familiar and magnetic voice came from behind Qi Yue.
Upon hearing the voice, Qi Yue subconsciously turned to look at the source.
Shen Kuozhi was wearing a bathrobe, with a towel draped over his head.
The robe was only tied with a belt, and as he raised his hand to towel his hair, the neckline widened.
Qi Yue’s excellent eyesight allowed him to clearly see the white, clean collarbones of Shen Kuozhi under the bathrobe and the layers of well-defined, thin muscles.
Qi Yue frowned. Wasn’t this person unwell? It’s not even summer yet, why is he dressed so lightly at night?
“Yeah, it’s tasty. Aren’t you cold wearing so little? Be careful not to catch a cold.”
“I just took a bath, still feeling a bit hot. I’ll blow dry my hair and get ready to sleep.”
“Oh, okay.”
Qi Yue nodded calmly, turned his head back, and picked up another piece to put in his mouth.
If Qi Yue hadn’t turned his back to Shen Kuozhi at the moment, the blush on his face would have surely revealed his embarrassment.
Qi Yue took a deep breath and silently criticized himself in his heart.
You’re worrying for nothing. Now you’ve made yourself so awkward, your face is all flushed!
The next day, Qi Yue messaged Lin Xiao to inquire about his friend’s romantic situation.
[Qi Yue: Did things go smoothly last night?]
[Smile: Just so-so.]
[Qi Yue: Just so-so? What does that mean?]
[Smile: Yue Tingyun reluctantly agreed to give it another try.]
[Qi Yue: Oh~]
[Smile: Is that why you messaged me? Don’t you have anything else?]
[Qi Yue: You caught me. Actually, there is something I need your help with.]
[Smile: I don’t understand you~
[Smile: What’s up?]
[Qi Yue: I want to ask your brother to help smooth things over.]
After Qi Yue told Lin Xiao about his plan, Lin Xiao assured him solemnly:
[Smile: Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it for you.]
[Smile: I’ve disliked him for a long time, finally someone’s taken action.]

Recently, there was major news about the Qi Group.
#The chaotic private life of the Qi Group’s CEO!#
#Qi Weixiong#
#The CEO of the Qi Group and his little lovers#
YHX (Yang Huixuan) posted about it, riding on the wave of this hot topic.
The scale of this scandal was beyond imagination before clicking to view it.
Seeing this surge in popularity, although it was quickly discovered by Qi Weixiong and suppressed, it still entered the tail of hot searches.
Although the Qi Group was only a nouveau riche presence in the wealthy circle of Beijing, it could still be considered a company with some status nationwide.
The fact that the largest shareholder and chairman of the company, Qi Weixiong, was involved in such an ugly scandal, coupled with the previous incident involving the WX female student, made the public exceptionally sensitive to such events.
Not only did it heavily impact Qi Weixiong himself, but it also dealt a severe blow to the company’s interests.
This matter was spread by Qi Yue. After all, Qi Weixiong’s temper had made him enemies in the business world and among small groups.
Qi Weixiong was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Relying on the size and assets of his company compared to others, he didn’t take the CEOs of small companies seriously.
He often behaved arrogantly, and there were quite a few people in the business world who didn’t like him.
Qi Yue only needed to stir the pot slightly, and there would be people willing to come out and criticize Qi Weixiong.
This was also something Qi Weixiong brought upon himself.
*Office of the CEO of the Qi Group*
“Bang!”
Qi Weixiong paced with his hands behind his back, and the female executive assistant in front of his desk was waiting for Qi Weixiong’s instructions, bending over slightly.
“Why is the efficiency of the PR department so low! Why is there still heat on VB!”
“General Manager, the PR department has already contacted the relevant personnel on VB, and they have already received money. The heat has dropped a lot, but there are still people secretly challenging us, constantly boosting the heat.”
“Damn it! If I find out who’s behind this, I’ll make sure to ruin them!”
Qi Weixiong slammed the table again, making a loud noise.
“Go and contact the relevant executive departments again.”
“Yes, General Manager.”
Qi Weixiong turned to look out the floor-to-ceiling window, waving his hand at the assistant as he walked to the door.
When the assistant reached the door, Qi Weixiong suddenly added.
“Oh, and make sure those underlings of mine keep their mouths shut.”
“General Manager, rest assured, they’re all adults, everyone depends on you for their meals~”
“Mmm, thank you for your hard work.”
Qi Weixiong looked at the slender figure of his female assistant, suppressing his previous explosive temper, and said softly.
The assistant turned around, threw a coquettish glance at Qi Weixiong, and smiled:
“General Manager, don’t say such things. Between us, there’s no need to be so formal.”
“Mmm, go ahead and work. Once this matter is resolved, I’ll definitely reward you handsomely.”
“Okay~ I’ll be waiting for you, General Manager~”
After the female assistant left, Qi Weixiong stood by the window, watching the bustling street below, his face and expression blurred by the smoke.
The ringing of his phone echoed for a while, and after a while, there was a busy tone.
“Damn it! They’re playing dead at a critical moment. All the money I’ve spent on them before has gone to waste!”
After making the nth call, Qi Weixiong angrily slammed his phone on the ground.
Those who used to call him brother now acted dumb when he was in trouble one by one.
He had invested so much money in these people before.
“Beep beep beep…”
The internal phone on the desk rang, and Qi Weixiong impatiently stubbed out his cigarette, picked up the phone, and said unkindly:
“What’s the matter!”
“General Manager, a group of reporters has arrived downstairs!”
“Damn it! Mobilize all security personnel, don’t let them in under any circumstances!”
“All security personnel have been mobilized, but they still can’t stop them…”
“Are you guys eating for nothing? If there aren’t enough security personnel, transfer some employees to help!”
“Understood!”
After hanging up the phone, Qi Weixiong dialed the number of the head of the legal department.
After several attempts, the call finally connected, and Qi Weixiong exploded directly.
“Why did it take so long for you to answer the phone! What are you all doing!”
“It’s not that, General Manager. Now, the legal department, along with all personnel, are handling the online public opinion for you. Do you have any instructions now?”
“A lot of reporters have come downstairs. Hurry up and draft a clarification statement for me!”
“Okay, General Manager, I’ll arrange it right away.”
“Mmm, do it quickly!”
Qi Weixiong hung up the phone, took a big sip of coffee to calm himself down, feeling like he was about to have high blood pressure from being so flustered all morning.
Reporters were blocking the door, and the online heat just wouldn’t dissipate. The only thing he could do now was to accept interviews with the reporters and clear his name.
But which reporter’s interview to accept was a matter of consideration.
Qi Weixiong sent a message to the head of the external relations department, asking him to find reporters who had cooperated with the company many times for interviews.
While Qi Weixiong was in chaos all morning, Qi Yue, who had been monitoring the internal test data of the app and paying attention to online public opinion, witnessed the entire event unfold.
At noon, the public opinion about Qi Weixiong had reached a new peak.
It was at this time that Qi Weixiong chose to do a live clarification.
The clarification script was written quite emotionally, and Qi Weixiong’s acting skills in front of the camera were better than many new actors.
Employees of the company came out to clarify, along with buying water armies to guide the direction.
The online audience who didn’t know the truth for a while couldn’t understand this situation.
Gradually, netizens were divided into two factions. One faction believed in the water armies, thinking that everyone was overreacting due to the news of the WX female student before, and randomly accusing people. The other faction didn’t believe in Qi Weixiong’s live clarification broadcast, even analyzing how much money the company’s employees were paid to keep quiet.
The truth was uncertain, but Qi Weixiong’s image was somewhat salvaged, and the company’s plummeting stock gradually stabilized.
Qi Weixiong could finally breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
Qi Yue, who had been following the situation closely, smirked. He knew that dealing with Qi Weixiong wasn’t as simple as it seemed. This old fellow had been carefully managing for so many years, and he still had some power.
However, the online arguments between the two factions of netizens only fueled the intensity of the discussion.
This matter had escalated to the attention of the government.
Investigators were sent to look into it.
But these were not things Qi Yue needed to worry about. There were people who would take care of Qi Weixiong for him. He just needed to sit back and enjoy the show.
On Qi Weixiong’s side, he entertained, wined, and dined, spending a lot of money to maintain relationships, making sure the investigating officials were well taken care of.
This investigation didn’t cause much of a stir.
Just as Qi Weixiong watched the heat gradually dissipate, finally disappearing from the trending lists, thinking that the matter was almost resolved, he planned to relax after dealing with this matter for so long.
However, what he didn’t expect was that during this period of relaxation, a video was rapidly spreading on the internet.
