Chapter 987: An Eye For An Eye (2)

Qi Lei frowned even harder as he looked at Yang Sheng speechlessly. He suddenly realized that he really did not know anything about his mother at all. He hardly remembered anything about her. The only thing he was sure he remembered was how she looked like.

"What's going on? Make it clear!" Qi Lei added.

Yang Sheng nodded and continued, "Master Qi, you should know that CEO Wang graduated from University A before she headed abroad to further her studies, dpn't you?"

He did not! Qi Lei felt ashamed when he heard Yang Sheng's question. He had no knowledge about Wang Qin when she was younger.

"Chief Zhuang, ex-Mayor Xi, and Director Xi's mother, Teacher Shen, all of them studied in University A before. They were schoolmates with CEO Wang. While Mayor Xi and Teacher Shen hardly spoke to CEO Wang, Chief Zhuang was acquainted with CEO Wang. When I mentioned Manager Gu before, CEO Wang said she wasn't the only one who disliked her. Chief Zhuang did as well. Maybe it's because Manager Gu got together with Master Feng, Mu Lingtian, and you..."

"Stop, I get it now!" Qi Lei abruptly interrupted Yang Sheng. He understood it very well. The only person who would do him no harm in this world and truly cared about him was Wang Qin. He did not doubt Yang Sheng's words at all.

"Don't mention this to anyone else to avoid getting the innocent involved. I've seen Chief Zhuang Shurong before. She's a righteous person, thus I'm sure she has her reasons for doing so." Qi Lei put the water spray can aside and walked towards his chair. "The discussion went well. We'll be able to sign the contract next Monday and I might need to visit City B. Tomorrow and the day after will be the last large-scale recruitment for fresh graduates, so make some preparations. I'll be there personally."

"Yes, Master Qi! I'll make sure to give the HR department a heads-up," Yang Sheng replied.

Qi Lei nodded. "By the way, give Mu Yuchen a call. Tell him that I'm treating him to dinner tonight."

"Yes, Master Qi!"

Yang Sheng then left the office room.

At the same time, in Glory World Corporation, Mu Yuchen had just gotten out of the escalator when his secretary and Li Si came up to him.

"Chairman Mu, CEO Liu from Heng Tian wants to have a discussion with you regarding the collaboration. Here's their revised proposal!"

"Master, Master Qi invited you to have dinner tonight. Should I accept or decline?"

Qi Lei?

Mu Yuchen took a pause as a light flashed in his eyes. He took the document from his secretary and glanced through it without stopping his feet as he walked towards his office. "Tell him to focus on recruitment for now. I've done what I could. His gratitude can come later."

Li Si nodded. "Noted, I'll let him know!"

"Inform Vice President Liu. Tell him to make arrangements."

"Yes, Master!"

Mu Yuchen went into his office. His workload had reduced slightly and he had more free time lately. Today, he only entered the office to handle an urgent document.

With the good news from Mu Lingshi, her newly acquired job would have to be put aside for a while. Ah Mo was spending time with her as well, and their planned honeymoon would have to be delayed. However, Su Chen and Ji Zitong had already departed for the Maldives several days ago.

Mu Yuchen noticed that Li Si followed him into his office as he sat down.

"Anything else?"

Li Si coughed lightly. "Master, Qi Kai's condition is stabilizing. As for Qi Feng..."

"What about him?" Mu Yuchen's expression turned unfriendly as a thin layer of ice formed in his eyes and his tone was icy cold as well. "He's just asking for some interest."

"Master, I've investigated Morrison. He's a powerful person. He's currently Qi Feng's strategist and trusted personnel. Here's his file." Li Si handed a document to Mu Yuchen through which he glanced before taking out a lighter and burning the document to ashes. He lowered his head and gave it some thought. "Give Ah Mo a copy. Ask him to take the appropriate measures."

"Noted, Master!" Li Si grinned. An eye for an eye, huh?

"Any news from Gu Qiwu?" Mu Yuchen asked.

"He's been staying in his mansion and he's hardly gone out. He's not particularly concerned about South River Project No. 2 as well. No one knows what he's thinking. By the way, Qi Qiming asked him to meet up tomorrow night beside the river near the outskirts. Should we...?"

Mu Yuchen raised his hand and stopped Li Si mid-sentence. "There's no need. I'm sure they are just discussing their children's marriage. Just wait and see. The news of the marriage between their families will surface in the papers in a few days."

"But Qi Kai's crisis had already been averted..."

"The promotional campaign for South River Project No. 2 is still ongoing. This is a great time. If Qi Feng doesn't seize this chance and allows Qi Lei to keep growing stronger, he will be at a disadvantage. Do you think he'd just sit there and wait?" Mu Yuchen smiled.

Li Si nodded. "That's true. Then, what can we do?"

"Just observe quietly. Besides, I've sent Qi Feng a great gift. It's about time to prepare for the second one."

Mu Yuchen went silent for a moment, but Li Si was puzzled by his words.

"Second gift? You mean..." Li Si asked.

Mu Yuchen did not answer. Moments later, he said, "Qi Feng isn't a fool. If he has been keeping an eye on Gu Qiwu, he'll be sure to find out something sooner or later. I hope his so-called protection won't bring any harm to Lingshi."

"Don't worry, Master. Ah Mo has found a capable bodyguard for Ms. Lingshi!" Li Si replied.
