Chapter 65: Stop Here
Since the last meal with Shen Kuozhi, the land in the western suburbs of the Qi family’s group has finally begun to be planned for construction.
With the financial problems solved, Qi Weixiong’s pressure has eased a lot, and he finally has time to settle scores with that woman, Guo Xia.
Qi Weixiong had already started suing Guo Xia some time ago, and there were media reports about it. However, because Guo Xia found a loophole, this matter couldn’t be resolved for a while.
How could Qi Weixiong not know what Guo Xia was thinking? This woman simply wanted money. Seeing him on the verge of bankruptcy, she planned to take the money and run. Even a starved camel is still larger than a horse. Did she think she could succeed with such low-level tactics now?
Qi Weixiong chuckled as he looked over the documents that had just been delivered.
Oh, Guo Xia, you should know your place. How dare you try to bully me?
*
Recently, the Qi family’s group has made a comeback, and apart from Qi Weixiong, the person most concerned about this is Guo Xia.
The last time she came back to the country to sue Qi Weixiong, there was no outcome. But this turned out to be good news for Guo Xia.
Seeing the Qi family’s group declining day by day, unable to support its employees and on the brink of collapse, as soon as the Qi family’s group goes under, Qi Weixiong, no matter how unwilling he is, will be powerless.
But who would have thought that the Qi family’s group would suddenly bounce back? Guo Xia couldn’t think of any reason for this sudden wealth other than loan sharks.
Knowing Qi Weixiong’s temper, although he’s easily impulsive, he wouldn’t touch loan sharks. Unless he had a big deal in hand and could quickly make a profit with the funds at his disposal.
That’s impossible!
Even though Guo Xia and her son, Qilei, were abroad, they never slackened their attention to Qi Weixiong and the Qi family’s group.
So she clearly knows that the Qi family’s group currently couldn’t have any lucrative deals.
Unless…
“Could someone be helping Qi Weixiong!”
Guo Xia clapped her hands together, stood up, and paced back and forth.
“Who would help Qi Weixiong at a time like this?”
Qi Lei got up from the couch and walked over to Guo Xia, analyzing, “This person must have quite a background, otherwise how could they dare to lend him a hand when everyone else is turning away?”
“Yes, if that’s really the case, then it might be a bit difficult.”
Guo Xia nodded, furrowing her brows.
She wondered what kind of luck Qi Weixiong was having to receive help at a time like this. The helper must be blind to lend a hand now.
“Mom, should we proceed with Plan B? Some of that money hasn’t been transferred completely yet. Just in case, we should transfer it all out first.”
“No need,” Guo Xia shook her head, “Son, you’re grown now. You need to understand some things. In this world, money and power are everything. So we must firmly grasp this money in our hands. That’s the most reliable thing to do.”
“But now he has a chance to catch his breath. If he decides to retaliate against us, and if it’s discovered, we’ll end up in jail!”
Qi Lei became more and more agitated as he spoke, his eyes showing fear and apprehension.
“Smack!”
Guo Xia’s hand landed swiftly and accurately on Qi Lei’s face, and she sternly said, “Listen to yourself! Do you think I’d let that thing be found by Qi Weixiong? Fool!”
Guo Xia didn’t hold back with that slap, and Qi Lei was caught off guard, and felt the solid impact on his face, sending it to one side.
Realizing he had spoken out of turn, he endured the burning sensation on his face and apologized to Guo Xia, “Mom, I’m sorry…”
“Don’t ever say such discouraging words again.”
After scolding her son, Guo Xia looked at his quickly reddening face and realized she had been too harsh. After applying medicine to her son’s swollen right cheek, she turned to get the medicine box.
“It’s okay, Mom, I’ll do it myself.”
Qi Lei calmly avoided Guo Xia’s outstretched hand.
He felt it wasn’t a good sign that his mom and Qi Weixiong were getting deeper into trouble. Before, Guo Xia never hit him.
Whenever Qi Weixiong was about to lose his temper with him, she always shielded him without hesitation.
But now, although they had rid themselves of Qi Weixiong and were financially comfortable, his mom seemed different, becoming more and more unlike herself.
Was this the same mother who used to stand in front of him no matter what?
Qi Lei stopped himself from delving further into this thought, not wanting to dwell on it, but he subconsciously distanced himself from Guo Xia.
Faced with Qi Lei’s rejection, Guo Xia’s hand holding the ice pack stiffened in mid-air.
“Son, Mom didn’t mean it. Mom just lost her temper for a moment…”
Guo Xia said bitterly.
This was the child she had raised, and there was nothing she couldn’t see through.
Just now, she indeed did wrong. Her emotions got the better of her and she lost control.
“Mom, it’s really okay. I can handle this little thing myself. Don’t worry about it.”
Qi Lei took the ice pack from Guo Xia’s hand, wanting to smile at her, but the throbbing pain in his swollen right cheek made it difficult.
His smile looked even more hideous than crying, resembling an unmasked ghost.
Seeing him like this, Guo Xia felt even more guilty and began to reflect on herself.
“Mom was wrong too. From now on, whenever something happens, Mom will discuss it with you. You can tell me your thoughts, okay?”
“Yes, okay.”
“On the matter of Qi Weixiong, Mom thinks we should find someone to inquire about the situation and see who’s secretly helping him. That way, we can be mentally prepared.”
“Mom, I have a way to handle this. Leave it to me.”
Qi Lei patted his shoulder, reassuringly saying, and then he wanted to smile, but he forgot that his face was still swollen, so he couldn’t smile at all, and it hurt like hell.
“Alright, alright, Mom believes in you. I’ll leave this matter to you, my hardworking son~”
Qi Weixiong, after all, was Qi Lei’s biological father. Although he was initially born out of wedlock, fortunately, his mother was capable, so he was qualified to work in the Qi family’s group, unlike Qi Yue.
Although he didn’t achieve much in the Qi family’s group, simply idling around, Qi Lei also made some friends.
They were all open-minded people, and some even seemed interested in him.
As long as he utilized them a bit, it shouldn’t be a problem to navigate through the current situation of the Qi family’s group.
While applying the ice pack, Qi Lei messaged his former colleague.
[Leilei: Yan ge~ Are you busy lately?]
[Colleague A: What good day is it today? Leilei actually remembers to contact me?]
[Leilei: It’s been a while since I chatted with my brother~ Are you free for a meal together?]
[Colleague A: Sure, I’m available anytime. See when little brother is free.]
[Leilei: Yan ge, are you not busy lately?]
[Leilei: How about this weekend for a meet-up? Let’s have a good gathering~]
[Colleague A: I’m not as busy lately as I was before. I can finally catch my breath a bit. They can’t just keep working us like slaves, otherwise, if we all drop dead, the company will go bankrupt.]
[Leilei: I see. Then I’ll take you for a massage this weekend, to relax~]
[Colleague A: That sounds good. In the past, when I invited you out, you never came. I didn’t expect to have the honor this time.]
[Leilei: Oh, I couldn’t stop thinking about you~]
Qi Lei sent a voice message to the other side, sounding sticky and affected, unexpectedly pleasing the man on the other end.
This colleague of his, when they were in the company together, had tried to hook up with him more than once. Although he wasn’t particularly handsome, his physique was good, and he had a decent appearance.
But in the past, Qi Lei had no need for any men, so naturally, he didn’t pay much attention to this man.
But now things were different. This man was also a middle-level leader within the Qi family’s group, so he should have some knowledge of the recent changes in the Qi family’s group.
After arranging a time and place with the other person, Qi Lei opened another profile on WeChat.
This person was also an employee of the Qi family’s group, but not the kind who worked in an office; he was part of the Qi family’s group security team.
Back then, Qi Lei saw this security guard as tall, handsome, with strong muscles, looking very fierce. Qi Lei, being a delicate young man, couldn’t even walk on a rugged road, so he immediately got the man’s contact information and even met up with him a few times. The experience was quite enjoyable.
At that time, he even got Qi Weixiong to promote the man to the position of security team leader.
Sometimes you shouldn’t underestimate security guards; their gossip abilities are no less than those of cleaning ladies.
This person was more reliable to Qi Lei than the previous colleague A. After all, they had an intimate relationship; if not emotional, at least there was some passion.
[Leilei: Hey, big brother~ I miss you. When are you free to hang out?]
[Security guard: Why suddenly think of your big brother?]
[Leilei: Oh~ I really miss Big Brother. Every time I’m playing alone, I fantasize about Big Brother’s companionship~ The feeling of being pierced by Big Brother is simply too wonderful~]
Qi Lei said these suggestive and ambiguous words in his room without changing his expression.
[Security guard: You little bitch, big brother will make you cry tonight, believe it or not]
[Leilei: Big brother, not tonight. Wait until I have a holiday next week, then we can play together, okay? I’ll prepare a surprise for big brother~]
[Security guard: Okay, I’ll be waiting~]
[Security guard: Big brother is looking forward to the surprise from his precious]
After easily dealing with these two men, Qi Lei showed a disdainful expression.
Men are really something. Just a little tease, and they come running.
Qi Lei changed the ice pack on his right cheek, which was still swollen, but it was a bit better than before.
If it weren’t for his swollen cheek, he would have handled the matter tonight.
Unfortunately, he got slapped by Guo Xia.
Thinking of this, Qi Lei’s eyes darkened.
Obviously, he hadn’t come to terms with what happened just now.
If Guo Xia were to become like Qi Weixiong in the future, how would he deal with it?
So he had to figure out a way. He couldn’t let this substantial amount of money be completely controlled by Guo Xia; he had to leave himself some safety net.
