Chapter 1477 Shareholders" Meeting 9

In the chairman's office of Fuhua Real Estate, Mu Yuchen was sitting on the sofa in front of Xi Xiaye looking through the documents in his hands.

When an abrupt ringtone rang, Xi Xiaye raised her head slightly, glanced at the cell phone that was vibrating at the side with a frown, and took a good look at the name popping up on the screen. She then picked up the call immediately.

"Ah Shi?"

"Sis-in-law, isn't my brother in?"

Only then did Xi Xiaye realize that the cell phone belonged to Mu Yuchen, and she responded quickly, "He's here. One second."

She handed the phone to Mu Yuchen as she spoke, "It's from Ah Shi. She's looking for you."

Mu Yuchen paused for a while, got up, and walked over to Xi Xiaye. He stopped by her side and reached out for the phone.

"Hello? It's me."

"Brother, it's me!" Mu Lingshi's voice soon rang out. Xi Xiaye stood up tacitly to give space to Mu Yuchen. She turned around, walked towards the shelf behind her, and started to search for documents on the shelf.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Mu Yuchen stretched his arm out to grab the teacup beside him while talking into the receiver, and in the blink of an eye, he had already taken a few gulps of the warm tea in the cup.

"Gu Lingsha is here visiting Gu Qiwu regarding the shareholders' meeting of the Qi Kai Group. Is everything okay on your side? I heard about Qi Qiming's accident. Qi Feng is definitely waiting for this opportunity to move up the line."

Gu Lingsha went back to visit Gu Qiwu?

Having heard that, a pregnant beam flashed across Mu Yuchen's eyes, but not much reaction was reflected on his face as if everything was in his expectation.

"Brother, Ah Mo told me about your plan. I guess you don't want Qi Feng to be able to take the position that smoothly too, do you? Because Qi Lei is..." Mu Lingshi asked tentatively.

"Has Gu Qiwu agreed to Gu Lingsha's request?" Mu Yuchen did not answer Mu Lingshi's question but threw another one at her instead.

"Not really. I saw Gu Lingsha leave with a little dissatisfaction, but she won't dare to do anything temporarily possibly because of Lingtian's influence."

After Mu Lingshi finished her sentence, it took a long time before Mu Yuchen continued the conversation unconcernedly, "Don't interfere in this matter. As long as Gu Qiwu isn't a fool, he'll know what to do. He should know better than anyone else about what kind of person Qi Feng is."

His words confused Mu Lingshi a little.

"He should know? What does that mean?" she could not help but ask.

Mu Yuchen leaned back in the chair behind him casually. He turned his head and looked out of the French window beside him. There was a lot of sunshine outside the window, and a warm breeze was blowing while the air was filled with a faint fragrance from the unknown purple flowers that Xi Xiaye had planted on the shelf.

After taking a shallow breath, his deep voice was heard on the other side of the phone, "Just believe in me. You and Ah Mo should just focus on doing your own things. You don't have to think too much about the other things happening around you. Gu Qiwu is a man who knows how to make choices. If you really have something that you want to accomplish, just go with your heart. Without help from Gu Qiwu, Qi Feng will have one less token to play."

"Brother, are you doing this for Qi Lei? If it's because of him, it's like...I'm worried...After all..." Mu Lingshi wanted to say something else but faltered.

Mu Yuchen's earnest voice interrupted her, "Qi Lei is now a good friend of mine and your sister-in-law's. We can all trust him. Vice President Wang Qin entrusted him to your sister-in-law before she died, so we're now just taking care of a deceased friend's son."

Although he spoke very lightly, Mu Lingshi could feel the weight in his tone.

Mu Lingshi creased her eyebrows and did not ask further. She then said indifferently, "Don't you worry, Brother. Gu Qiwu won't mess with you. I'll..."

"Good. Take good care of yourself, especially recently. Mother might go to City B on a business trip, so let her know if there is anything that you would like her to bring to you."

...

The siblings caught up and exchanged a few more words. Later on, Mu Yuchen was the one who hung up first.

"What happened? You and your sister had a very pleasant chat." After seeing him put the cell phone down, Xi Xiaye poured a glass of water and walked over.

He raised his head and caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eyes while stretching his hand around her slender waist. "Gu Lingsha went to visit Gu Qiwu but left crestfallen."

Crestfallen?

Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows, then she laughed. "Because of Qi Feng's matter?"

"If not that, what else?" he asked rhetorically with a hint of disdain in his indifferent tone, "When all his wings are cut off, Qi Feng only has these abilities left."

There had been no news from Ah Bo so far. Otherwise, if it was proven to be as he thought, it would be checkmate for Qi Feng! However, if that truly was the truth, then what kind of pain would it spell for Qi Lei?

Mu Yuchen felt helpless for Qi Lei, but he did not want to sympathize with him either. At least, Qi Lei was now a lot more mature than before. He was also someone who had gone through the ups and downs and had settled down through the years.

"You're worried about him again. I've never seen such enthusiasm when it comes to me!" She could not help but give him a sidelong glare and complain.

When he heard that, he smiled and quickly pulled her into his embrace, then lowered his head to kiss the back of her hand. He then said, "I won't even care about these troublesome matters if I'm not enthusiastic about you. It's better to let me worry about it than to let you do so. You can just put all your attention on me."

"Stingy man!" She pursed her lips and chuckled. Then, she stood up straight and started tidying the documents on the desk. "But that's what I like about you!"

Mu Yuchen raised his brows when he heard that. Then, he shot her a long gaze as his deep voice was filled with sensuality as he challenged, "Is there anything about me that you don't like?"

"Your narcissistic pig!" she reproached lightly.

...

The shareholders' meeting took place as scheduled.

The day was a rare overcast day, which was different from all the previous days. The sky was a bit gloomy and gray and the weather was cooler than the previous days.

Early in the morning, in Qi Lei's Grand Lake Villa...

"Hack hack! Hack hack..."

The intense coughing broke the tranquility of the morning when the sky outside had just turned bright.

"Master Qi, let's not go to the office just for today.? You are so sick!" Yang Sheng's worried voice was also full of concern. He came over very early naturally, but he did not expect Qi Lei to have such a severe cold. He already sensed that his master was uncomfortable yesterday, so he wanted to grab him some medicine, but he left late and forgot about it.

He did not expect that just overnight Qi Lei would...
