Chapter 035: Simulated Business Warfare
Fu Yansheng gave a low laugh and put his arms down.
After getting out of the bathroom, Qi Yu wondered if he had been bewitched just now. He actually agreed to Fu Yansheng’s proposal! ?
But he wasn’t entangled by this matter for too long. When Qi Yu and Fu Yansheng returned, they noticed that the atmosphere in the private room was a bit strange.
Qi Yu looked around and saw Tang Weiye sitting on another sofa with a gloomy expression on his face. Several waiters were squatting in front of him, cleaning who knows what.
Seeing them come in, many people turned to look at them. Some were suspicious and curious, while some were taking pleasure in others’ misfortune. They used all kinds of looks to imply that the subdued atmosphere in the private room was related to them.
Soon someone came over and told him, “Tang Weiye threw down a couple of glasses after he came back.”
The private room was carpeted. The wine glasses didn’t break but the wine was spilled all over the floor. The waiters were cleaning the wine off the carpet.
In order to appease Tang Weiye, someone yelled to the waiter to find some beautiful “male models” to come and play with him.
In this kind of place, male companions were generally called “male models”. Most of them were young men with good looks and good physiques. However, Tang Weiye and Si Hang came here all the time and for them, these male servers who were always on call have long lost their novelty.
Hearing this person’s suggestion, Tang Weiye directly refused. “What are you talking about? You better not be trying to make me angry.”
Qi Yu found Tang Weiye’s behavior both laughable and infuriating — That guy still considers himself as the great Heavenly King? If he wants something he must have it? If things don’t go his way, he has to vent his anger everywhere? Is he planning to use his bad mood to hijack other people into pressuring him?
Well, what the f*ck. Who cares? Qi Yu wasn’t going to indulge him.
All the ones present were worldly-wise people. Seeing Qi Yu’s ugly expression, there were some who quickly decided to change the subject. Those who should be drinking, drank. Those who should be having fun, had fun. The atmosphere quickly became lively again.
Qi Yu and Fu Yansheng returned to their original seats. Without Tang Weiye, their seats were a lot more spacious.
Si Hang had been watching the excitement at first. Now that everyone’s attention had turned away, he walked to Tang Weiye and urged him, “Okay, stop making that stinky face. How many times have I told you not to target any of your brothers? You might just damage a good relationship. But you just had to stubbornly insist on your own ideas…”
They were huddled close together and Si Hang hadn’t spoken too loudly, but Qi Yu heard it all.
Hearing Si Hang’s words, Tang Weiye raised his head and looked towards Qi Yu. Qi Yu gave him a knife-sharp look, warning him against getting any more audacious ideas.
Unexpectedly, Tang Weiye looked at him and suddenly smiled bitterly.
Then he took out his mobile phone and tapped the screen at him. He then lowered his head and started typing on it.
Qi Yu was taken aback. He took out his mobile phone to open WeChat. He found the avatar that he had turned off the message prompts for. There was indeed a new message from Tang Weiye.
Weiye: “I’m sorry, I just couldn’t hold back.”
Weiye: “I was being stupid.”
Qi Yu raised his eyebrows. Just when he was thinking that this kid wasn’t completely beyond help, he saw that Tang Weiye had sent him a few more messages—
Weiye: “Qi Yu, I really like you…”
Weiye: “Looking at your angry look, my heart is beating so violently.”
Weiye: “I think I’m in love with you.”
Qi Yu was so angry that the blue veins on his forehead were about to pop out. Seeing the words “typing” at the bottom of their chat, he wanted to smash the phone on Tang Weiye’s forehead!
Just then, his hand was suddenly empty. Fu Yansheng had snatched away his mobile phone.
The man, right in front of him, without saying a word, deleted this contact who was still in the middle of messaging him.
Tang Weiye: “…”
Qi Yu: “……???”

Qi Yu: “……!”
It suddenly occurred to him that Fu Yansheng was now playing his boyfriend!
He no longer paid any attention to Tang Weiye’s expressions. He only felt that his body was warming up due to Fu Yansheng’s intimate actions. However, the temperature in his brain slowly dropped because of Fu Yansheng’s reminder.
That’s right. When did his emotions start to be affected by Tang Weiye?
When he came here last time, he clearly controlled them well. Although he was in the middle of it all, he kept his cool and stayed out of the matter…
What happened to him this time?
He vaguely felt that he started losing control of his emotions when he was in the restroom.
But, at first, it wasn’t Tang Weiye who made him lose control. Rather it was Fu Yansheng’s sudden interrogations and his subsequent series of actions…
“Come closer,” Fu Yansheng grabbed his wrist and gently dragged him towards him, “Let’s find something to distract you.”
“…Eh?” The man’s actions interrupted Qi Yu’s reflections, causing him to, without his control, lean towards the other’s side.
Fu Yansheng had him in his arms. He whispered in his ear, “Shall we play a game?”
“What game?” Qi Yu leaned stiffly against Fu Yansheng’s shoulder. The other’s warmth and scent passed through his shirt, making Qi Yu’s scalp go a little numb.
“Simulated business warfare.” Fu Yansheng said, sounding all proper, like every time he gave him a lecture over voice call, “Let’s assume that the people in this private room run a company. The owner of the company is Si Hang and his inner circle. The current existence of this company threatens your project. You maintain a cooperative relationship with them on the surface but you actually need to separate this group to clear the obstacles for your own project. What will you do?”
This was the first time that Qi Yu was playing this game. His interest was immediately piqued. “Separate them? You mean make them have a falling out?”
Fu Yansheng explained, “Separating them is only a means to an end. Your aim is to split the company’s equity or to acquire this company.”
Qi Yu understood. “I understand.”
Fu Yansheng said, “You’re more familiar with them. First, specify who may be the owners of this company. I will determine their respective shares.”
“Zhu Lin, Qin Han and Si Hang have a very good relationship. The two of them went to the United States together with Si Hang last year.” Qi Yu glanced at Tang Weiye and said, “That Tang one, too. Let’s make them the F4.”
Fu Yansheng smiled, “Okay, Si Hang is a shareholder accounting for 25% of the shares, and each of the remaining ones have 17%. The F4 adds up to 76%. The rest are considered retail investors, and they have a total of 17% of the shares. You have acquired 7% of the shares through the stock market, but you still need to get 44% and reach 51% or more of the shares to win.”
Qi Yu: “How do I get the equity?”
Fu Yansheng: “As long as you can make this person fall in with you and have him follow your instructions, you win.”
Qi Yu summed it up in his mind. His brows furrowed and he said, “It seems a bit difficult…”
Fu Yansheng: “Is it difficult? It’s just started and you’ve already got 17% effortlessly.”
Qi Yu was taken aback. “Where did that come from?”
Fu Yansheng: “Isn’t that Tang boy in love with you…?”
Qi Yu laughed and cursed in a low voice, “…get out of here.”
But after hearing what Fu Yansheng said, Qi Yu didn’t seem to be so disgusted with Tang Weiye anymore. After all, this person was worth a bit of stock value.
Qi Yu thought for a while and said, “Then I’m still only at 24%.”
He wasn’t familiar with those retail investors, but Zhu Lin, Qin Han, and Tang Weiye each held 17%…Huh, 17% each? Did Fu Yansheng design it specially that way? These three people combined add up to exactly 51%.
But even so, was it possible that he had to persuade all three of them to betray Si Hang in order to win?
Fu Yansheng gave him another hint, “You can count the number of people here besides you and the F4.”
Qi Yu counted again. There was exactly seventeen, no more, no less!
“1% per person?”
“That’s right,” Fu Yansheng smiled, “Didn’t you just say that Meng Wenhui was your childhood friend? Add me in and you’re now at 26%, 1% more than Si Hang.”
Qi Yu secretly exclaimed. How did Fu Yansheng calculate these in such a short time and set up such an exquisite simulation game?
“So I now have two ways. Either directly get Si Hang’s 25% to reach 51%; or get either Zhu Lin or Qin Han and eight retail investors to reach 51%? Qi Yu quickly came up with two plans.
Fu Yansheng gave an “en”. “It’s feasible. So, how are you going to do it?”
Now that Fu Yansheng asked, Qi Yu was faced with another difficulty. If he and Si Hang were on opposite sides, Si Hang would never give him his shares no matter how much he “likes” him, right?
Zhu Lin and Qin Han? The two of them and Si Hang made a monolithic bloc. It would be impossible for him to pry them apart…
Seeing Qi Yu’s furrowed brows, Fu Yansheng smiled and pointed out to him, “Look more closely at the details of their relationship. See who is really good with whom, and who can be separated from whom.”
Qi Yu was thinking about Fu Yansheng’s words when he suddenly felt something touch his waist.
He was startled, only to realize that he had somehow relaxed his body and had leaned against Fu Yansheng’s arm. One of the man’s arms slipped off the back of the sofa and was now around his waist…
“……!!!”
F*ck, isn’t this posture too ambiguous! ?
Fu Yansheng saw him turn his head and glare at him. He said, sounding innocent, “What are you looking at me for? Continue to observe them.”
Qi Yu retracted his gaze, his heart beating like a drum. In his head, he cursed a bunch of rubbish nonsense. He had no idea how others saw them as… His eyes swept to Tang Weiye and Fu Yansheng pinched his waist again. He said, “You don’t need to observe that Tang boy. Try to treat him as air.”
Qi Yu: “…………!”
Talk if you want to talk but why do you still have to use your hands?
Qi Yu forced himself not pay him any mind and continued to analyze.
He remembered that Qin Han was rather impetuous. He sometimes quarreled with Si Hang. For example, last year he asked Si Hang why he didn’t let Xiao Ye take him to play games. This was probably a breakthrough?
If he could value Qin Han more than Si Hang and treat him as a friend on an equal footing, would Qin Han fall in with him?
Zhu Lin always smiled at others. He would always look at who’s at odds with whom and he would often try to smooth things over, adjusting the mood. However, Qi Yu never could guess what this person was really thinking…
……
While Qi Yu thought, he discussed with Fu Yansheng.
Fu Yansheng listened to his opinions and analyzed, “People like Zhu Lin definitely have more brains than Qin Han, but if you want to separate them, it might be easier to start with Zhu Lin than with Qin Han.”
Qi Yu: “Why?”
Fu Yansheng: “People who are stubborn and straight-forward actually value loyalty and brotherhood very much. It’s not easy to buy such a person. If you don’t manage it well, his upright nature might actually cause you trouble. On the other hand, Zhu Lin’s goodness to Si Hang may be based on his own interests. He knows that making friends with Si Hang is good for him and so he ingratiates himself to Si Hang. This kind of person, once being friends with you is more valuable to him than being friends with Si Hang, he may fall in with you.”
Qi Yu listened to Fu Yansheng’s explanation and sighed inwardly. He couldn’t help turning his head and narrowing his eyes at him, “Teacher Fu, do you perform this kind of simulated warfare in your mind every day?”
Fu Yansheng: “The business world is like a battlefield. Shouldn’t it be instinct for businessmen to analyze others?”
Qi Yu: “Teacher Fu, you really… have a dark heart.”
Fu Yansheng was taken aback for a moment. He then asked him with a smile, “Do you like it?”
Qi Yu: “……”
God does he f*cking like it…
Fu Yansheng continued to analyze the personality and characteristics of the various people using what he had learned from his own experiences. Because of their close proximity, the man’s voice was very low and there was a bit of hoarseness, like a lover’s whisper.
There was an English song playing in the private room. The melody was elegant and full of emotion.
Qi Yu has heard it before. He remembered the title of the song. It was called “The Tennessee Waltz”.
The lyrics told the story of a girl who introduced her good friend to her lover at a dance party. In the end, the good friend stole her lover’s heart while dancing with him.
The song’s lyrics had nothing to do with Qi Yu, only that Qi Yu felt that at this moment, Teacher Fu was also stealing away his heart…
It’s over…
He can’t… really…
At this moment, Fu Yansheng suddenly reminded him, “Someone has come in.”
Qi Yu quickly stopped letting his imagination run away with him. He threw a glance at the door of the private room.
He saw a young man in gray walk in. He came in quietly, like a shadow trying to hide himself in the background.
The man walked up to Si Hang, said something in his ear, and then left the same way.
Qi Yu saw Si Hang’s eyes light up. He then whispered a few words in Zhu Lin’s ear. Zhu Lin clapped his hands and said, “Which one of you wants to make money? Here’s your chance!”
Everyone looked at Si Hang upon hearing these words. The sentiment of the crowd was instantly roused.
Si Hang lazily sat in the middle of the sofa, like a king giving orders. “Old rules. To join in this stock of mine, you have to follow my instructions. When you buy and when you sell, Zhu Lin will tell you. Everyone can put in 300,000 yuan max. It’s 15 days this time, and a guaranteed return profit of more than 200%.”
Qi Yu was surprised, 15 days? 200%?
In other words, 300,000 becomes 900,000 in fifteen days? Wasn’t this an over-exaggeration?
But when everyone heard it, none of them showed the slightest bit of suspicious. They even yelled excitedly–
“The maximum per person is 300,000? Isn’t that too little?”
“That’s right. I haven’t been spending money recently because I was waiting for this.”
“I’ll join. I’ll join. Count me in!”
“Me too!”
……
Zhu Lin wrote down their names and numbers one by one. He then asked, “Is there anyone else?”
Si Hang looked at Qi Yu, who had been observing silently, and asked with a smile, “Qi Yu, you want to put something in?”
Meng Wenhui also anxiously asked him for help, “Qi Yu! Can you lend me some money? My dad has placed a restriction on my spending. He only gave me 50,000 yuan for the trip this time. Lend me some money and when the return comes in, we’ll split it 50-50!”
Qi Yu was hesitating, when suddenly he felt a hot breath brush against his outer ear and the hold around his waist seemed to tighten.
In the next second, the man’s soft and gentle voice pierced into his ears, “Don’t participate.”
The author has something to say: [Little Theater]
Fu: My voice grew hoarse from eating too much fish tofu. ╮(╯_╰)╭
————
Qi Yu (indifferent): Okay, I got 17% effortlessly.
Tang Weiye: Am I just shares in your eyes? QAQ
Qi Yu (looking disdainfully from out the corner of his eye): If it were not for your shares, you would be nothing!

Ah, ah, ah! They cuddled! Amazing! 😍
Ahahhhhhhhhhh what an amazing development 🤤😫
BWAHAHA the stimulation game!!
as a fellow introvert i should probably run this game when i talk to people–
+1 im going to do this when i get bored at social functions
+1
Ahahah!!! They’re cute…. Thanks for the chapter<3
thanks for the chapter!
The correct option would still be 600,000… 200% is 100% multiplied by 2
and that’s just the profit return, so add the original amount of 300 000 amd we have 900 000 overall.
