Chapter 1204: Qi Feng's Trick (4)

It was already 9 p.m. when Su Chen arrived at the Emperor Hotel.

The Emperor Entertainment Club was under the Emperor Hotel operations as well, similar to Glory World's Imperial Sky Entertainment City, one of the high-end entertainment spots. With it being the weekend tomorrow, it was very lively that night.

They finally found a parking slot in the plaza after a while, so Su Chen quickly parked his car.

Secretary He tagged along too.

"It's been a while since I came here. How lively."

The higher-ups were really strict, and official officers like them rarely approached places like this though Su Chen often visited Imperial Sky Entertainment City.

"Did you come here often before?" Su Chen squinted his eyes at Secretary He.

Secretary He was startled for a moment. "I know the manager here. He got into some trouble before and asked me for help."

Su Chen threw him a sharp glance. "Be alert for what we're about to do."

Secretary He was a quick-witted man, so he replied, "Don't worry, Chief Su, I understand!"

Su Chen nodded and took out a cigarette to started smoking while Secretary He got out of the car.

...

In the room that Qi Feng reserved,Xi Xiaye took a look at the document Qi Feng gave her. "Master Qi, we should let Vice President Qi discuss these details with us. He's the professional after all."

"Aren't you being rude now, CEO Xi? Qi Lei isn't the main person-in-charge of this project anymore. If you're not being cooperative, it'll be difficult for us to maintain this collaboration," Gu Lingsha refuted as she noticed the defensive tone in Xi Xiaye's voice.

Xi Xiaye smiled. "Difficult? Just like the proposals you showed me the last time, Ms. Gu? I only care about efficacy, and that's what Glory World cares about as well. Vice President Zhang Lan, what do you think?"

"I have the same opinion as CEO Xi. We've discussed this before. If Qi Kai wants to pass this project over to someone else, you should be liaising with the previous person-in-charge instead."

"Don't speak as if you're all clean and pure. You've..."

"We'll put this on hold for now. Since we're continuing our collaboration, of course, we need time to understand each other."

Qi Feng calmly interrupted Gu Lingsha. He did not seem pleased with her reaction, so she quickly kept her mouth shut, but she shot Xi Xiaye a cold stare.

Qi Feng smiled and tried to make some small talk with Zhang Lan.

After that, they started talking about the South River project. Qi Feng made sure he thoroughly understood what the project was about, and had a lot of detailed observations regarding the project's shortcomings.

Xi Xiaye was surprised by his insights. Zhang Lan and Lan Zilang participated in the discussion actively, and things soon calmed down. Xi Xiaye just there quietly and only spoke up once or twice while Gu Lingsha only kept silent the whole time as she looked back and forth Xi Xiaye and Qi Feng.

After some time, someone knocked on the door and Morrison entered. Qi Feng and he traded glances at each other quickly, but Xi Xiaye noticed it.

She already figured that it was not a simple dinner, so she lowered her head and smiled.

...

Gu Lingsha was dumbfounded by Qi Feng's arrangements, but from what he told her the other day, she could sense that he was going to do something.

Gu Lingsha really hated Xi Xiaye. She had no good impression of her at all. If stares could kill, Xi Xiaye had probably died over a dozen times that night.

...

Xi Xiaye was not sure how it happened. Perhaps she just drank a tad too much, so she said that she was feeling uncomfortable and needed to go to the washroom. Gu Lingsha got up and said she needed to go as well. The two of them left the room one after another.

Qi Feng gave Morrison a glance after Xi Xiaye left the room. In response, Morrison nodded and went outside too.

The corridor outside was dark. Xi Xiaye felt refreshed as she felt the breeze. However, her steps were a little shaky.

Gu Lingsha kept a close distance behind her. Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh and started rushing towards Xi Xiaye followed by a loud scream.

1Suddenly, a big crowd rushed into the corridor!

Before Xi Xiaye could react, there were a lot of flashlights around. She turned around when she heard Gu Lingsha screaming and saw the latter charging towards her. Xi Xiaye was dumbfounded by her mad expression and avoided her onslaught.

Was she crazy?

"What happened?"

"Isn't that the Missus from the Qi family and Mrs. Mu?"

"It's them!"

"What happened? Is she mad?"

The reporters were already blocking the way when Morrison went out. Something must have happened as a smirk appeared on his face. He smiled and gave a signal to the guard beside him. The man nodded as everyone in the corridor heard him say in a loud voice, "Doesn't she look like she's overdosed on drugs?"

"Some kind of symptoms?"

"Is Gu Lingsha mad?"

"Gu Lingsha is doing drugs?"

"Withdrawal symptoms?"

"Most likely! No wonder she's been looking exhausted lately!"

Morrison was shocked after hearing those comments, so he quickly rushed into the crowd along with the bodyguards...
