Chapter 166: To Dispel the Clouds and See the Sun
“It’s nothing,” Qi Yu put out the cigarette and asked, “How’s their discussion going?”
“They’ve run into another problem. Of the 600 million that President Qu said, only one-third was placed in their company’s account. The other two-thirds were entrusted to a fund company and has to be taken from there. It will take some time. They have contacted the manager of the fund company now and they can continue to discuss how to go about this when the people from the fund company come over in person tomorrow,” Chu Meng approached Qi Yu and asked quietly, “Lawyer Han asked me to come and ask if you want to just stay in Nanshi tonight. It seems President Qu is hoping that you can personally follow up on this matter.”
Qi Yu nodded: “Okay, let’s arrange it like this.”
Chu Meng remembered the episode that had happened at lunch and joked again with a smile, “I think that President Qu seems to like you very much. He was so straightforward and bold today. Could it be that he’s taken a fancy to making you his son-in-law?”
Qi Yu frowned. “Don’t talk nonsense”, he said. He then turned and walked towards the meeting room.
Chu Meng covered her mouth and snickered and quickly followed after.
That night, their group booked rooms in the center of Nanshi City. When Qi Yu returned to his room after dinner, he called Qi Yuancheng.
“……Dad.”
“Qi Yu?” Qi Yuancheng picked up the phone and said, “I was about to call you. How are things going?”
Qi Yu reported the progress of their talks to his father. He mentioned the incident that Chu Meng had recounted, worrying that they might not be able to complete the transfer of equity within the time limit given by Wang Zhendong.
Qi Yuancheng said, “Since someone is willing to accept his shares, the rest will be simple enough. The delivery of several hundred million worth of shares cannot be completed in a short time. Lawyer Han can supervise and sign the agreement with them.”
Qi Yu was relieved. He also told Qi Yuancheng about the information that Xu Jing disclosed to him during their second phone call. “Dad, Xu Jing told me that Lizao had been behind Wang Zhendong’s sudden divestment.”
Qi Yuancheng was stunned when he heard these words. “You got in touch with Xu Jing?”
“…Yes.” Although Qi Yu was still brooding over Xu Jing’s transfer to Lin Huan, one yardstick was another yardstick. Xu Jing really had helped them by putting in a good word with President Qu.
Qi Yu tried his best to put his personal emotions aside. He told the truth about President Qu’s declaration of his position and Xu Jing’s warning.
Qi Yuancheng snorted softly, “Seems like that kid still has a little bit of conscience… But it’s not as though I also haven’t guess as much. Think about it, if Si Yuan’s share price is now subject to further ups and downs, who would benefit the most? Wouldn’t it be FIA, who’s in the ring with Mei Wei right now! I have been in constant contact with Wang Zhendong these days. After so many years of cooperation, he suddenly says he wants to divest? Maybe he was provoked by Lizao, or in other words, Lizao gave him better benefits! But this isn’t the most important thing. The most important thing is that Wang Zhendong’s withdrawal might create a conformity effect on the crowd. Xu Jing’s warning is not unreasonable. If someone else decides to divest, would we be able to keep buying those shares? Finding someone to fill the hole is by no means a long-term solution. Rather than pulling in a few investors like President Qu, what we need now is a powerful group to support Si Yuan. We’re not looking for someone the same order of the Si Family of the past but it has to be someone near that scale. The amount of investment is also not important. What’s important is that they’re willing to form close ties with Si Yuan, which will give all the shareholders and stock traders some reassurance.”
Qi Yu thought to himself, where would they go to find a group with such a big background? His dad has been active overseas since the listing of the Si Yuan Group. Moreover, when the Si Family had met this incident, all the contacts they could use at home, they all used already.
Could it be that he really had to seek Fu Yansheng’s help? But Fu Yansheng was just a “financial migrant worker” spending his time hiding his identity in various securities companies. The financial circle had very clear hierarchies. No matter how powerful a position Fu Yansheng held, the ones he had most contact with was “business upstarts” the likes of President Qu…
Just as he was feeling vexed, Qi Yuancheng suddenly said, “To tell you the truth, just two hours ago, an unexpected person contacted me.”

Qi Yu frowned: “What kind of cooperation are we talking about?”
Qi Yuancheng: “I don’t know the specifics. He just said that he’d been instructed by President Lei himself. He asked me to meet tomorrow and Lei Hong himself would be there.”
Qi Yu: “Did you agree?”
Qi Yuancheng: “Of course. No matter what they want to do, Zhongda’s people have taken the initiative to look for us. It’s an excellent signal for all those who are following news regarding the Si Yuan Group.”
Indeed, Zhongda was now one of the world’s top 100 companies; with a state-owned background, its strength was not to be underestimated. It was impossible that President Lei got in touch with his father for no reason. They mentioned cooperation, which should be a good thing. However, when Qi Yu thought about the grievances between Su Jing and Lei Hong, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Qi Yuancheng added: “They made an appointment with me at two o’clock tomorrow afternoon. If you also want to see President Lei, come back in time tomorrow morning and I’ll take you with me.”
“I can’t make it.” Qi Yu explained, “President Qu has little knowledge about matters regarding corporate finance. When Lawyer Han talked to him about the process for the transfer today, he specifically asked if I could be here tomorrow. If I think I better follow this matter til the end so that he can feel at ease. Regarding the meeting with President Lei, since a VIP like him didn’t ask for me by name, I’m afraid I won’t be able to contribute anything to the meeting anyway. Dad, you should just talk to them. ”
Qi Yuancheng: “Alright.”
After hanging up with Qi Yuancheng, Qi Yu opened the app on his phone and glanced at Fu Yansheng’s location. He found that the other party had not yet arrived home, so he put down his phone and went to take a hot shower.
After washing up, he took another look. Qi Yu made a video call to the other party.
“The timing of your call is simply perfect.” Fu Yansheng answered in a hurry, holding up his mobile phone to put in his code and unlock the door. He entered the house and he asked, “Did you call me after checking my location?”
“Uh-huh,” Qi Yu got into bed and found a comfortable position to lie down. Chatting with Fu Yansheng made him feel much more relaxed than chatting with his father. He asked, “Why did you come home so late?”
“Social niceties. And it’s only nine o’clock, still pretty early. Fu Yansheng took his phone to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. Only then did he have time to glance at the phone screen, “Why are you going to bed so early today?”
“I’m not going to sleep yet. I’m just laying down for a while.” Qi Yu propped his head up. He watched as the man in the video tilted his chin slightly, revealing a well-defined jawline. When he drank his water, his Adam’s apple bobbed. It was extremely sexy.
To be honest, Qi Yu really missed him.
Fu Yansheng drank half a glass of water, sat down directly at the dining table and said to his phone, “Are you still in Nanshi?”
“How do you know?” Qi Yu raised his eyebrows, “Don’t tell me you’ve got a tracker on me too?”
“I actually want to put one on you but you’d refuse,” Fu Yansheng snorted, dissatisfied, before saying, “If you’re not still in Nanshi, why are you staying in a hotel?”
Qi Yu: “I can’t stay in a hotel in Haicheng? Maybe I’m out to spend the night someone.”
Fu Yansheng: “…”
Qi Yu: “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Look at this room, at the decor behind you! Would a young master such as yourself who wouldn’t stay anywhere other than a five-star hotel, stay in a hotel of this level in Haicheng? Besides, didn’t you have a meeting with President Qu today? Is it that hard to guess that matters haven’t finished yet so you’re going to be staying over in Nanshi?” Fu Yansheng glared at him and said, “Fine. Now, stop asking such idiot questions. Tell me if you’ve got something to say!”
”
Qi Yu: …”
Qi Yu got up, sat cross-legged on the bed and said, “Then why aren’t you asking me if things went well today?”
You’re in such a good mood that you’re even joking with me here. How could it not have gone well?” Fu Yansheng said helplessly, “It’s not enough that you ask stupid questions. You want me to ask them too? ”
Qi Yu secretly cursed. He used his legs as a mobile phone holder, grabbed a pillow, and while fiddling with it, told Fu Yansheng what had happened today.
Fu Yansheng stroked his chin and said, “So Xu Jing was helping out this time.”
Qi Yu grabbed the pillow and hmm-ed. “This President Qu is too nice. Even without Xu Jing’s call, we would have succeeded anyway.”
Fu Yansheng: “You can’t say that…”
Qi Yu knew the truth as well. In front of his father, he had discussed the matter on its own merits. But now, he was facing Fu Yansheng. Naturally, he wanted to take the opportunity to get into a temper and exaggerate his ability. “Why don’t you tell me your thoughts on what Xu Jing said?”
Fu Yansheng: “You said he wanted you to admit your mistake?”
Qi Yu: “Do you think I’m wrong?”
Fu Yansheng couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re twenty-two and he’s thirty-three but what you two are doing, makes you look like you two look like a two year old and three year old.”
Qi Yu hit the pillow angrily. “What do you mean?”
Fu Yansheng analyzed, “Xu Jing asked you to make this call today, which shows that you still weigh heavily in his heart.”
“Weigh heavily?” Qi Yu sneered, “Didn’t he still leave? Didn’t he still go to Lin Huan?”
“He also wants to know how much he weighs in your heart.” Fu Yansheng took another sip of water and said to Qi Yu, “If he didn’t go to Lin Huan, would he have attracted so much attention from you and made you feel so unreconciled? Tell me, aren’t you particularly angry that he abandoned you? That he betrayed you? Tell me the truth, don’t lie to yourself. ”
Qi Yu’s fingers were deeply embedded in the pillow. “Even if I am unreconciled, what can I do?”
Fu Yansheng: “What? Take him back! Him saying those words to you today, in my opinion, that was short of him saying, ‘Act spoiled and I’ll go through fire and water for you’. You’re still being stubborn here, saying you’re letting him fly free to pursue his dreams. Are you stupid? How many seven-year periods are there in one life? Can he and Lin Huan have the same kind of affection he has with you? Since you believe that affection surpasses profit, don’t tell me you haven’t thought of using your belief to conquer him? Xu Jing is someone who has already made his way into Lin Holdings. If you try and launch a psychological attack on him, he’ll be the best source of intelligence that your Si Yuan Group keeps outside!”
These words of Fu Yansheng’s smashed right in Qi Yu’s face. Fu Yansheng’s words stunned Qi Yu stupid. Qi Yu had been unconvinced at first, feeling that Fu Yansheng was nothing but all talk. But suddenly, he didn’t know exactly what part of what he said hit him straight on, but he suddenly had a realization. He felt like this person had dispelled the clouds and let the sun shine, enlightening him.
Qi Yu was momentarily stunned. His lips hooked up into a sinister smile. “Teacher Fu, you're something else…”
Fu Yansheng: “???”
Fu Yansheng said, annoyed, “If you don’t f*cking agree, you don’t have to agree. Is that any way to talk to your husband?”
Qi Yu reached out and touched Fu Yansheng’s face on the screen. He said, “It’s nothing. Thank you.”
Fu Yansheng: “…”
Qi Yu didn’t give Fu Yansheng much time to be complacent and he immediately changed the subject, “By the way, I want to ask you something.”

【Little Theater】
Qi Yu: Chatting with Fu Yansheng makes me feel more relaxed than chatting with my father.
Qi Yuancheng: ? ? ?
Qi Yuancheng: You bastard! Don’t go talking with men while you’re only wearing a bathrobe! ! !
Qi Yu: …that’s my boyfriend.
Qi Yuancheng: It’s still not allowed! ! (╰皿╯)
