Chapter 883: Making A Move (3)

The crowd soon left and Qi Qiming went back to his office as well. Gu Lingsha was worried about him, so she followed him.

Inside his office, Qi Qiming sat down on his chair with a strained expression. It was obvious that he was furious.

"I'm sure Lei didn't mean it, Uncle Qi. Don't be angry about it. Didn't you accept his suggestion in the end? I suppose that means what he said made sense, so just let him take this on, alright?" Gu Lingsha smiled gently and grabbed a glass of water for Qi Qiming.

"He has never thought of me as a father. He just wants to take revenge on me now. Qi Kai will be done for if I leave it to him." Qi Qiming took the water from Gu Lingsha and continued, "Let your father know about the decision we made during the meeting just now. Ask him when he'll be sending people over for inspection so that we can start work as soon as possible."

Gu Lingsha nodded. "Don't worry. I'll call my father later."

"Alright, let me be alone for a while." Qi Qiming did not look at Gu Lingsha again and just waved his hand.

"Sure, by the way, I've asked your secretary to bring lunch for you, so remember to eat it. You must take care of your health." Gu Lingsha then swiftly left the room.

At the same time, inside Qi Lei's office, he was sitting on his chair relaxed while he looked out of the window as he was making a call.

Meanwhile, Mu Yuchen had just finished his meeting with a client and was on his way back to Glory World.

"It's me."

Mu Yuchen closed his document as he answered Qi Lei's call.

"I've done what you asked. Xi Xinyi will be handling the publicity for South River Project No. 2. How are you going to show me your gratitude?" Qi Lei smiled.

Mu Yuchen's eyes brightened as he then replied, "How do you want me to thank you?"

Qi Lei chuckled when Mu Yuchen returned his question, "That depends on how sincere you can be."

"Alright, you'll get a 30% discount on whatever you spend in Imperial Sky."

"Stingy! That's not very sincere at all! Do you think I care about such discounts? Moreover, do I look like I'd take advantage of a friend? Not everyone's a wicked businessman like you."

Mu Yuchen was not interested in what Qi Lei wanted to say, and he continued reading the document on his lap. He then spoke again when Qi Lei finally stopped, "40%. Take it or leave it."

"Okay!" Qi Lei replied instantly.

In the front passenger seat, Li Si noticed Mu Yuchen grinning when he hung up on the call. "Master, is there any good news?"

Mu Yuchen raised his head and glanced at Li Si as he put his phone aside. "Xi Xinyi will be handling the publicity for South River Project No. 2."

Li Si had a big grin on his face. "That's good news indeed. Master Qi really pulled it off!"

Mu Yuchen nodded. "He might be smarter than we think. I'm glad that I trusted him."

"That's true. I do feel sad for Master Qi that Qi Qiming just doesn't accept him, but I feel it's fortunate at the same time as well." Li Si sighed.

Mu Yuchen did not say anything. His eyes darkened and he just gave it some thought before he continued to look through his document.

The conclusion of the higher-ups meeting this time was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Xi Xinyi could not believe it herself. She still found it hard to believe that it had just happened.

She sensed it was related to Mu Yuchen somehow, but she did not try to find out further. Instead, she was determined to think that her choice was right this time!

Xi Xinyi was acting very carefully in Qi Kai now. She became much more cautious after the failures she experienced. Although she really hated Mu Yuchen for almost destroying Yueying before, the hatred was now gone, and she was willing to believe him if he could get her son back for her.

As Xi Xinyi was deep in her thoughts, a gentle voice interrupted her.

"Can I sit here?"

Xi Xinyi raised her head and noticed a beautiful presence near her. It was Gu Lingsha with her dazzling eyes looking just like sapphires. Even Xi Xinyi was attracted by them

Xi Xinyi was stunned into silence for a moment. She then nodded and said, "It's my pleasure, Manager Gu."

Xi Xinyi stopped approaching Gu Lingsha aggressively like before. She made some space between them. "Please have a seat!" Then, she lowered her head and continued her meal without initiating any conversation with Gu Lingsha at all.

She had tried to greet Gu Lingsha and get closer to her before, but the latter did not even bat an eyelid.

If one looked closely, Xi Xinyi's hands were clenched into fists, and her eyes had turned cold. She had not forgotten that it was this woman who had pushed her onto Xi Xiaye and almost framed her. She was truly terrifying.

However, it was not time to make a fuss about this yet since she had to fulfill her promise to Mu Yuchen.
