Chapter 059: Guessing Everything
Qi Feng hung up the phone and looked, broad and level, at Zhang Jian. “Secretary Zhang, I’m sorry. Something urgent just came up. I will have to inconvenience you to tell Chief Liu that… If this matter is urgent, he can call Chief Qin and show it to him.”
After saying so, regardless of what Zhang Jian thought, he patted his butt and beat it out of there.
It wasn’t until Qi Feng left the office building, that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, Fu Dage said on the phone that he would come find him at the café. He didn’t know whether it was true, but Qi Feng still hasn’t received his brother’s instructions and he didn’t dare run around. So, he simply went to the café. Every minute he could stay away was precious.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for twenty minutes, Fu Yansheng’s figure appeared in Qi Feng’s field of vision.
When the man, fully decked out in professional attire, pushed the door in and trained his eyes onto himself, Qi Feng was completely blinded by his handsomeness!
What knocked Qi Feng over was not only Fu Yansheng’s appearance and temperament, but also the other party’s style of doing things — calling to his rescue at such a critical moment; keeping his word and coming when he said he was coming — He’s really so cool!
“…It’s you?” Once Fu Yansheng approached, he realized that the person in front of him was Qi Feng. He suddenly understood, “No wonder your voice over the phone was so strange…”
While fabricating wild tales in his mind, Qi Feng beckoned the person over. He was a little embarrassed. He was hesitating how to explain this situation to the other party when Fu Yansheng had already sent a series of soul grilling questions, “Why would you answer your brother’s call? You came to work in his place? Where’s your brother?”
Qi Feng: “……”
He thought to himself, given this kind of situation, does it even make sense for him to lie?
Qi Feng explained to Fu Yansheng. Fu Yansheng frowned and said, “Your brother is acting willfully and making trouble.”
Qi Feng was afraid his brother was going to look into this matter afterwards. He said, trembling with fear, “Fu Dage, can you pretend not to know anything about this matter? My Ge forbade me from telling…”
Fu Yan gave him a sideways look, “You didn’t tell me anything, I guessed it all.”
Qi Feng: “……”
Indeed, as soon as Fu Yansheng saw Qi Feng, he combined all the details and figured out the answer for himself. He really hadn’t thought about this aspect before and he really hadn’t expected Qi Yu to have such a bold personality.
…Moreover, Qi Yu hadn’t even discussed these matters with him.
Fu Yansheng was in a complicated mood. He comforted Qi Feng and said, “Don’t worry, given what has happened today, your Ge himself knows that he can’t keep hiding it from me.”
“Okay.” Qi Feng glanced at Fu Yansheng with admiration.
It’s over…Although he knew that he can no longer live off one while secretly helping another, he really did think that this man was so cool.
After all, in this world, apart from his dad, there was probably no one else who would dare to say that his brother was “acting willfully and making trouble” and that his brother “can’t keep hiding it from me” in such a madly tyrannical tone — as though he could completely control his brother. …
Qi Feng quietly gave this wild man a thumbs-up, and hurriedly brought back to even the tilted balance.
He glanced at his phone and Qi Feng said worriedly, “I have no idea what my Ge has been up to. He still hasn’t called me and it’s almost been an hour…”
Fu Yansheng was also a little worried when he heard this. He said to Qi Feng, “157XXXXXXXX, try calling this number.”
Qi Feng was stunned. “Whose number is this?”
Fu Yansheng: “Your brother’s bodyguard and driver, Wang Meng.”

Qi Yu was surprised. He got up and went out. After hearing from Wang Meng, he immediately took out his mobile phone and charged it up.
After rebooting, he saw several missed calls displayed on the screen, some from Qi Feng and some from Fu Yansheng. He first called Qi Feng back and asked, “Did something happen?”
It took half a minute to understand the situation. Qi Yu said to Qi Feng, “Don’t go back to the office. Go directly to the hotel. I’ll meet you there and we’ll talk about it then.”
In the café, Qi Feng gratefully shook his cell phone at Fu Yansheng. “I managed to get in touch. My Ge told me to go back to the hotel.”
“That’s good,” Fu Yansheng frowned, and reminded Qi Feng, “You tell your brother that starting tomorrow he’ll have to go to work himself. You’re not going to work in his place anymore.”
“Huh?” Qi Feng was made a little nervous by the man’s serious tone. Of course, he was anxious to let go of this thankless job. After hearing Fu Yansheng’s words, he replied, “I understand.”
Fu Yansheng raised his wrist and looked at the time. He then stood up and said, “Then I’ll be going back to the office.”
Qi Feng realized that Fu Yansheng had come rushing over here during work hours, and thanked him again. Fu Yansheng said, “It’s fine. My workload’s pretty light right now.”
Qi Feng asked subconsciously, “Then…would you like to go to see my Ge with me? You can also tell him about those things just now…”
Fu Yansheng shook his head. “No need. Your brother will come to me later.”
Qi Feng took a taxi back to the Holiday Hotel. He arrived at the room at almost the same time as his brother.
The two brothers met, and Qi Yu learned more in detail about what had happened with Qi Feng. Qi Feng told him everything.
“You mean, Zhang Jian asked you to sign the plan on how to handle the unsalable items on the spot?” Qi Yu asked.
“Yeah. It was thanks to Fu Dage’s call that I managed to get away,” Qi Feng remembered Wu Shuang’s reaction at the time, and also praised him, “Wu Shuang Ge is also very quick-witted, I could tell that he was obviously helping me.”
Qi Yu asked again, “When Fu Yansheng saw you, did you tell him anything?”
Qi Feng: “He guessed it all, and said you were acting willfully and making trouble.”
Qi Yu: “……”
Fearing that his brother would scold him, Qi Feng directly told his brother the questions Fu Yansheng asked after seeing him in the cafe. He basically washed himself clean of all fault and even reported the other party’s last proposal in an exaggerated manner, “Fu Dage also said that this thing is too dangerous and told me not to do it again!”
Qi Yu pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, “Then, you go home.”
Qi Feng’s eyes beamed. “Go home? I don’t need to go to work for you anymore?”
Qi Yu nodded: “En…”
“Yeah!” Qi Feng cheered. If he’d known that Fu Dage’s words were so useful, and he would have looked for him ages ago!
However, Qi Yu made this decision not because of Fu Yansheng but because he himself realized that given what had happened today, Zhang Jian and others would definitely find that something was strange. Regardless, if they had noticed a problem before and deliberately came to test it today, or if they only realized it after today, it was impossible for him to let Qi Feng go to work on his behalf anymore.
Qi Feng hummed a little tune and went to the dressing room to change his clothes. He then went to the bathroom to put on his and Ling Ke’s couple earrings again, as happy as a bird that had regain its freedom.
Qi Yu leaned against the door, watching his brother radiating with delight. He couldn’t help but smile, “You’ve been working hard these days.”
Through the mirror, Qi Feng snorted in his brother’s direction. “So you actually know how hard this has been? Then what compensation will you be giving me?”
Qi Yu crossed his arms and said, “I’ll let you in on something. Dad may be returning to China in the next few days.”
Qi Feng: “……???”
Qi Yu: “When he comes back this time, he might want to see you, and Ling Ke too.”
Qi Feng instantly changed from a happy bird to a frightened bird. “Oh, f*ck”
Qi Yu smiled. “Hurry up and prepare. Take Ling Ke and run away. I’ll reimburse you for the expenses no matter if you’re traveling abroad or domestically.”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier! How can I possibly go abroad now?” Qi Feng anxiously hopped about, yelling, “I’m going to take Ling Ke to Inner Mongolia, to the Changbai Mountains. Somewhere dad won’t be able to find us to beat us to death…”
Looking at the figure of his younger brother leaving in a hurry, Qi Yu smiled for a while before his face slowly sank.
It was close to the end of office hours. Qi Yu had no plans to return to the office. He sat down on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Wu Shuang, asking him what had happened after he left the office.
Wu Shuang: “Secretary Zhang left and no one came back.”
Qi Yu: “If you’re free tonight, swing by the hotel and give me that document they wanted me to sign.”
Wu Shuang: “Secretary Zhang took that document with him.”
Qi Yu: “……”
Wu Shuang: “But I took a photo of it. If President Qi wishes to see it, I can send it to you.”
Qi Yu raised his eyebrows. “Send it to my mailbox.”
Wu Shuang: “OK.”
Qi Yu returned to the main WeChat interface. He clicked on Reporter Yang’s chat box.
Just now at Gu Shuo’s investigation office, after turning on his phone, he saw the missed calls from Qi Feng and Fu Yansheng but he also received a dozen or so photos from Reporter Yang.
The subject of these photos weren’t Qiu Rusong, Liu Meiling, Liu Qi or Zhang Jian, but rather the other people around Qi Yu, including Xu Jing, Wu Shuang, Qi Feng, Fu Yansheng…
One of them happened to be from that car Fu Yansheng had noticed that day — they were standing side by side at the entrance of Lin Yuan Apartment waiting for the car.
They were looking at each other in the picture. Even from across the road, Qi Yu could see the feelings in Fu Yansheng’s eyes as he looked at him in the photo.
But Qi Yu’s attention did not stay on this photo for too long.
With a slip of his fingertips, he zoomed in on another one. The background of this photo was a cafe. Only two subjects were sitting in the corner, talking. The faces of the two were clearly visible through the long-focus lens. One of them was Fu Yansheng, the other was unexpectedly someone that Qi Yu also recognized.
——It was the assistant he had hired himself, Wu Shuang.
When he saw this photo in the car back to the hotel, Qi Yu’s first reaction was that Fu Yansheng and Wu Shuang might have coincidentally met in a coffee shop.
But after hearing Qi Feng’s words, for the first time, Qi Yu began to doubt the relationship between the two.
After all, it was Fu Yansheng who asked him to hire an assistant himself. And it was also Fu Yansheng who suggested him to hire someone with a background in mathematics. He remembered another time when Fu Yansheng asked him, “Didn’t Wu Shuang hold an umbrella for you?” after getting sunburnt. He had wondered at that time whether he had ever told this man Wu Shuang’s name. Add to that, today — Qi Feng had just asked Wu Shuang for help when he received a call from Fu Yansheng!
After being subjected to so many of Fu Yansheng’s routines, even if Qi Yu wasn’t smart, it was impossible for him to believe that there could be so many coincidences in this world.
He would rather believe that these two people knew each other early on and that he’d been f*cking deceived again!
With the matter today, Qi Yu also knew that Fu Yansheng and Wu Shuang were obviously helping him. But he couldn’t understand why Fu Yansheng would do this.
All of Fu Yansheng’s leniency and expressions of goodwill during the past sixteen months, he could accept as being for the purpose of pursuing him. But what about this one?
——He took great pains to persuade him to hire an assistant himself, he placed Wu Shuang’an by his side, hid from him and helped him… What kind of strange operation was this?
If Fu Yansheng wanted to please him, he might as well have applied for the job himself!
Qi Yu closed his eyes and thought for a while, the more he thought about it, the more confused he felt.
The phone vibrated, reminding him that he received a new email. After Qi Yu opened it, he went through the file and photos and saw a few suspicious point regarding this plan. He then forwarded it to Gu Shuo and asked him to review it from beginning to end, asking him to examine the pitfalls of this thing they “absolutely needed him to sign”.
After finishing all these, the work day was nearly done. Qi Yu opened his contact list and dialed Fu Yansheng’s number.
“…Teacher Fu, are you off work?” Qi Yu asked lazily.
“I just got off work.”
“Let’s have dinner tonight?”
“Where?”
“Come to my place?” Qi Yu rubbed his brows, “I’m a little tired today and I don’t feel like eating out. Let’s eat at the hotel.”
“Okay,” Fu Yansheng paused and hinted, “The French steak last time was good.”
Qi Yu’s voice was affectionate as he suggestively teased, “Will you still be bringing wine?”
Fu Yansheng smiled, “I will.”
Qi Yu: “Seven in the evening?”
Fu Yansheng: “See you in an hour.”
He hung up the phone. Qi Yu narrowed his eyes. No matter what happens, Qi Yu was determined to make this man spit out some truthful words tonight.
The author has something to say: [Little Theater]
Last week, Qi Yu (excited): I’ve got this win in the bag. Come at me!
This week, Qi Yu (angry): Sh*t, I was f*cking cheated again! Just how much is this bastard hiding from me?
Fu Yansheng (smiling and smoking): Care to guess?
