Chapter 176: What Pursuit?
Qi Yu knew that FIA – HZ’s people were coming, but he didn’t know that Xu Jing would also be attending. At this moment, his mood fluctuated. He could only pretend to be calm as he said, “Jing Ge, long time no see.”
Hearing the words, the people next to Xu Jing turned to look at Qi Yu. Someone didn’t know his identity and asked him in a low voice, “Chief Xu, who is this?”
Xu Jing blurted out the word “Si“, when he realized something and immediately changed his words, “This is Qi Yu, the CEO of Mei Wei – Blooming Lotus.”
Everyone had different reactions when they heard this. Some were surprised, some were curious. Those who were self-possessed nodded slightly in greeting to Qi Yu. However, most of them just stared at him.
Xu Jing seemed to be in a trance. After explaining Qi Yu’s identity, he fell into silence and didn’t even introduce his own companions in turn.
Standing beside Xu Jing was a man about the same height as him. He was handsome and elegant, with an innately distinguished sort of countenance. Everyone was naturally drawn to surround him, making him stand out like a crane in a flock of chickens.
Qi Yu recognized him was Lin Huan. He had seen the other’s photos on the Internet. At this moment, Lin Huan too, was also looking at him with interest.
In terms of looks and temperament, Qi Yu would not lose out at all. However, having no one else with him besides Wang Meng, he was placed at a great disadvantage.
Fortunately, Ye Qinru and the welcome staff arrived in time. Seeing them, Ye Qinru was also stunned. Naturally, he recognized Lin Huan’s group and greeted them politely, “President Lin, you’re here too? ”
Lin Huan smiled and was about to speak when he saw Qi Yu turned around and instruct Ye Qinru, “Let’s go on ahead.”
Ye Qinru hurriedly said to them, “Then we’ll be going first. See you later.”
Lin Huan: “…”
The staff drove a special sightseeing trolley to pick them up. Seeing that Lin Huan’s group had arrived, they didn’t dare slight them. They called their colleagues and assured President Lin and the others before taking Ye Qinru and Qi Yu in.

Seeing that Qi Yu’s face was frosty, Ye Qinru said with concern after getting into the car, “What a coincidental meeting. Did they say anything to you? They didn’t embarrass you, did athey?”

This year, when the Si Family ran into an incident, Xu Jing resigned from Shanyu and Ye Qinru had heard about this matter. Not long ago, he also learned from Qi Yu that Xu Jing had gone to Linhe Capital and had Linhe Capital invest in New Bird.
Of course, this kind of situation is quite common in the industry so Ye Qinru didn’t make much of a fuss. He didn’t think there might be something more to it until he saw Qi Yu’s ugly expression just now.
The trolly took them along the VIP route and drove directly from the entrance of the old town to the five-star hotel that New Bird had chartered for them.
After getting off the trolley, Ye Qinru introduced to Qi Yu, “The convention hall where conference will be held is next door. There’s nothing important scheduled for today, just a dinner party hosted by New Bird. In the activity hall on the first floor of the hotel, there’s buffet afternoon tea. It’s also showing an introduction of New Bird. It’s all very well done. President Yang is also receiving guests there, do you want to meet with her?”
Qi Yu thought of how Lin Huan and Xu Jing would probably be arriving soon. If he were to go see President Yang, they would inevitably run into each other again. And so, he felt a little hesitant.
Ye Qinru observed his expressions and said, “Actually, we arrived an hour earlier than you and we’ve already gone to greet President Yang.”
Qi Yu nodded and said, “If you’ve already gone to see her, that’s fine then. Let’s go upstairs first. I have something to tell you.”
In order not to destroy the style of the ancient town, this five-star hotel had only three floors in total and hundreds of rooms were all arranged in a ring on the second and third floors. Ye Qinru introduced as they walked, “New Bird invited a few dozen partners and media groups to this conference. They arranged ten rooms just for our Mei Wei. I’ve asked several of Mei Wei – Blooming Lotus’ executives to come…”
Qi Yu asked, “Is Su Jing here?”
Ye Qinru: “How could he not come to join in on this kind of excitement? Though he’d heard that Lin Huan was also coming, Su Jing said he wanted to come to piss him off.”
Qi Yu was startled. “Why would he be pissed?”
Ye Qinru: “I heard that before Su Jing left HZ, according to their agreement, he had to sell his remaining shares of HZ to Lin Huan. When he sold it to Lin Huan, he did it for a pretty sum. When Lin Huan learned that he had jumped ship to Mei Wei, he was so angry that had the media scold him online for a month! For Lin Huan, so long as Su Jing appears in front of him, it would be hard for him not to be pissed!”
Qi Yu was amused by Ye Qinru’s words, and his mood improved a lot.
Ye Qinru added, “But he didn’t forget his work. He brought along a computer. He was studying algorithms and programming the entire way here. He said that he wanted to design a more usable structure for Mei Wei – Blooming Lotus. He’s probably still busy in his room now…”
Qi Yu asked with a smile, “He’s that gung-ho?”
Ye Qinru: “How can he not be? Ever since he heard your conversation with Chairman Lei that day, he was proabably so moved that he’s now willing to lay down his life for you.”
Qi Yu: “…”
Ye Qinru took Qi Yu to the suite reserved for him and opened the door. Seeing Wang Meng still following, he couldn’t help asking, “Your driver, no, your bodyguard, should I arrange for him to room with Xiao Zheng?”
Most of the accompanying drivers were arranged to stay in a nearby hotel of a lower grade. Only bodyguards had to stay close at all times. But these people usually traveled without bodyguards, which made Wang Meng look out for place.
The Xiao Zheng that Ye Qinru mentioned was a technician under Su Jing. Qi Yu said “OK” and then said to Wang Meng, “I’ll be staying in the hotel, so there shouldn’t be any safety problems. You don’t have to follow me all the time. I’ll call you if I need anything.”
Wang Meng followed orders and left. Ye Qinru and Qi Yu entered the room. Only then did Ye Qinru ask, “What do you want to tell me? Do you want to call Su Jing over?”
“No need to disturb him. I’ll tell you first.” Qi Yu sat down on the sofa and then told Ye Qinru that Tianbao Group was planning to take a stake in the Si Yuan Group.
Ye Qinru was overjoyed to hear this. “Is this true?”
Qi Yu: “Yes, my dad just came back from Harbor City yesterday and they’ve already discussed how much of the shares Tianbao will be taking over.”
Ye Qinru asked, puzzled, “If there was such a relationship, why was it that when the Si Family incident happened, your father didn’t look for them to take over the Si Family’s shares?”
Qi Yu paused and said, making no attempt to hide the truth, “To tell you the truth, it was actually Teacher Fu who pulled some strings to get the Tianbao Group to help us.”
Ye Qinru said in shock, “Fu Yansheng?”
Qi Yu gave a “En”. “But he doesn’t want others to know that he helped so it’s fine that you know about it but don’t tell others.”
He couldn’t tell to his father but at least in front of Ye Qinru, Qi Yu didn’t want to hide it.
“Understood.” Ye Qinru nodded, then looked at Qi Yu curiously and asked, “But President Qi, forgive me for being a gossip. I haven’t asked you yet, why did Fu Yansheng leave?”
When Qi Yu said that Fu Yansheng had left Shanyu to join a securities company in Shencheng, Ye Qinru was also quite shocked and thought they were having a falling out. At that time, Qi Yu was rushing back to school and Ye Qinru didn’t have time to inquire.
Qi Yu lowered his eyelids when he heard these words and said lightly, “He has his own pursuits…”
“””What pursuits? I heard that he’s gone back to working in a securities company, right? Although the Si Yuan Group experienced some difficulties for a while, since he has that kind of connections, he doesn’t want to be the president of a proper investment company, nor does he want to be the right-hand man of the crown prince, instead he goes off to be some securities dealer…”” Ye Qinru smiled and shook his head, “I really don’t understand him.”
”
These words directly hit Qi Yu’s sore spot. He had just separated from Fu Yansheng and he hadn’t yet recovered from the pain of the separation.
