Chapter 070: Another Meeting
Fu Yansheng smiled and said, “Else, how about you give me a kiss first?”
“You called me an idiot and now, you want me to kiss you!? Qi Yu looked like a white peacock with its tail feathers raised up, shaking his sensitive tail feathers, staring at the other in disbelief.
Seeing his beautiful eyes widen, Fu Yansheng couldn’t help but think of the way he sat in the conference hall in a suit that morning— there were so many points he couldn’t understand but he still pretended to be all steady and sure. — he felt it was so incomparably cute.
He took the initiative to walk to Qi Yu, and said slowly, “I was wrong. Is it still a no-go?” He stretched out his hand to hug him.
Qi Yu was on his side. He was still angry in his heart, but he didn’t try to be quarrelsome by moving away.
Fu Yansheng pulled the other into his arms and buried his face in the crook of Qi Yu’s neck. Infatuated, he took in his scent. He then held the back of the young man’s head and started kissing him as though trying to ingratiate himself to the other.
Fu Yansheng might have a terrible mouth, but his kisses were extremely gentle; every bit the gentleman.
Qi Yu also let go of his anger and slowly lost himself in the kiss.
On the surface, the “hugs and kisses” written in the contract were things that Fu Yansheng required of him. But in fact, was it not also something that made Qi Yu happy and feel good? Him arguing that point was only so that Fu Yansheng wouldn’t be too full of himself.
For a long while, only the ambiguous sounds of two people exchanging kisses could be hear in the quiet hotel room. It was not until the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated that Qi Yu snapped out of it and pushed Fu Yansheng away. “Phone call.”
His lips were wet from their kiss and his eyes were filled with the shimmer of passion. It made Fu Yansheng reluctant to let him go.
Fu Yansheng said, “Answer it”, but he still had his arms wrapped around him, completely planning to continue kissing once Qi Yu was finished on the phone.
“It’s my dad…!” Qi Yu raised his voice a bit and Fu Yansheng had no choice but to let go.
Qi Yu walked to the side and answered the phone. “Dad?”
Qi Yuancheng gave an “En” and asked, “What’s is this about that thing you just asked Xiao He to tell me?”
Qi Yu immediately relayed the situation on the Internet to his father, paying close attention to the other’s reaction.
Fu Yansheng told him that they could probe Qi Yuancheng’s true attitude towards’s Qiu Mingyang’s situation through this step.
If Qi Yuancheng becomes furious, it meant that that he was willing to protect the other at all costs. In order to avoid a conflict between father and son, Qi Yu could choose to confess to his father what he has done. Even if his father was determined not to move against the Qiu family, he could abandon the pawn to protect the general by using Liu Qi to be the single point of attack. But if Qi Yuancheng behaves more calmly, it meant that in his heart, it was very likely that he too was in support of strict rectification. Qi Yu could, in the future, have greater rein. He could beat those criminals and cheaters, while saving his father’s face.
At this moment, hearing Qi Yu’s explanation, Qi Yuancheng wasn’t angry. He only asked in a deep voice, “Can you confirm whether this video comes from the investigator found by the group?”
Qi Yu was taken aback for a moment. He explained, “I’m not sure. Just now, I already called to ask the people below to find out.”
Qi Yu hadn’t presented this video to the board of directors, nor has he shown it to Qi Yuancheng. So, even if Qi Yuancheng already saw the video, he couldn’t be 100% sure that this was evidence that Qi Yu has leak out. However, having a problem appear at this critical moment, it was impossible for Qi Yuancheng not to doubt Qi Yu. And so, Qi Yu didn’t dare to categorically deny it. He could only put the blame on the investigator he’d looked for.
Qi Yuancheng paused for a couple of seconds and said, “Okay, I see…”
Qi Yu asked, “Dad, how is your talk with Uncle Qiu going?”

“It’s very likely.” Fu Yansheng asked, “Was your dad angry?”
Qi Yu shook his head. “He didn’t seem very angry.”
Fu Yansheng: “Then this will be easy to handle. Let Reporter Yang proceed with the next step of the plan.”
After Qi Yu called Reporter Yang, he still had a worried look on his face.
Fu Yansheng asked, “What’s wrong, what are you still worried about?”
Qi Yu said: “The netizen’s reaction was a bit more intense than I imagined. It won’t be a problem if this continues like this, right?”
He had just read a few highly liked messages under Mei Wei’s official page and he was very disturbed when he remembered the sentence “Mei Wei should go under” that was right on the top page.
Fu Yansheng was much calmer then he was. “That’s why I told you not to look at it. You’ve never experienced this kind of scene, and it’s unavoidable for your emotions to be influenced by public opinion. But this is a necessary process. The more they curse and the bigger their reactions, the easier it would be to get the attention of the company’s management and those shareholders who think that this matter doesn’t concern them. Let professional people handle matters in their field. I chatted with Reporter Yang yesterday and felt that he’s very experienced in this area. He’s also able to see the big picture. As long as he thinks it’s okay, it’s should be fine…”
Qi Yu was comforted a bit by Fu Yansheng’s words. He was thinking carefully and while he was lost in though, he was pulled in by the other man.
“Let’s continue…,” Fu Yansheng said, leaning forward again.
Qi Yu: “???”
Weren’t they supposed to review the meeting! ?
But before Qi Yu could protest, his breath had already been taken away.
…………
Forget it, forget it…
Let’s kiss again…

At ten o’clock in the evening, Tao Mei, who had just finished a live broadcast, turned off the camera and collapsed onto her armchair…
“Xiaojin, bring me a bottle of mint water please,” she told her assistant.
Her throat was dry and sore and she was too tired to even remove the makeup on her face. Tonight, there had been some weird remarks pouring into the live broadcast, calling her a ‘homewrecker’. Maybe it was a competitor trying to stir up trouble. It was really infuriating…
When the phone rang, Tao Mei glanced at it. Seeing that it was a strange number, she answered with an impatient “Yeah?”.
“Is this Miss Tao Tao?” A middle-aged man’s voice came over the line.
“Yes, who are you?”
“I am the secretary of the board of directors of the Si Yuan Group. A video of you renting a hotel room with the CMO of one of subsidiaries, Liu Qi of Mei Wei Apparel is being circulated on Weibo. Due to the urgency of the situation, the board of directors of the group needs to meet with you to find out the real situation……”
… Mei Wei? Chief Liu? Hotel room?
Tao Mei was shocked and straightened up immediately. While using her computer to search on Weibo for the news mentioned by the other party, she stumbled a reply, “What are you looking for me for? If you want to find out about the matter then go talk to Chief Liu. This has nothing to do with me. It was your people from Mei Wei who asked me to do this…”
“Miss Tao Tao,” the man warned, “I hope you can cooperate with us now. If you honestly tell us the truth, we will try our best to remove you from this matter. If not, we will call the police immediately. By that time, your fate will be out of our control.”
“I…” Tao Mei’s hand holding the phone trembled, “I’ll cooperate…”
…

Right on time, the alarm clock woke Qi Yu up at nine o’clock. But Qi Yu remained in bed, a frown on his face.
Last night, Fu Yansheng kissed him and kissed him. Then talked about the contents of that afternoon’s meeting. He even gave Qi Yu a lecture on topics such as Internet technology, big data, artificial intelligence, e-commerce platforms… Qi Yu’s head was sent spinning but he finally understood in which direction the group’s technology roadmap would go.
In general, Si Yuan Group wanted to use its own company’s brand influence to build an online mall linked to its own products and culture. It will cooperate with social networking platforms to grab customers from the existing market.
This was also what all the giants of technologies were doing. Whoever has the most customers will have the most information and data. Those who can achieve a monopoly in their respective fields, control the future.
The Si Yuan Group could be considered as having started late in this regard. Fortunately, joining hands with Si Holdings, made their funds robust. They will be able to acquire some small companies with good ideas but no capital and by integrating resources they will be able to quickly rise into prominence.
In the next six months to a year, what they mainly needed to do was to build the organizational framework of the company and find targets for acquisition — high-quality targets need to be competed for. Those that the Si Yuan Group were targeting, other companies may also be eyeing covetously. Sometimes, snatching a good team could basically lay the foundation for the company’s future.
Of course, most of the preliminary work would be done by their elite staff team. Qi Yu only needed to understand the internal situation, read the summary reports, participate in important decisions, and attend negotiations and acquisition meetings when necessary.
The two chatted about these matters until the wee hours of the morning.
Actually, this discussion shouldn’t have taken that long. The main reason was that Fu Yansheng was dishonest, and he wanted to seek benefits from Qi Yu while he was discussing. One moment, he would be hugging his waist and the next, he would be stealing a kiss. It caused Qi Yu to lose concentration. A lot of the problems, Fu Yansheng had to explain two or three times before he was able to understand.
When Fu Yansheng left, Qi Yu washed up and went to bed. It was almost two o’clock.
After several successive nights of sleeping late, coupled with the pressure of several major events, Qi Yu felt that he was seriously lacking in sleep.
Fortunately, his two-month internship was about to end in a few days. He only hoped that things would proceed smoothly according to their plan in the coming days.
Because of extramarital affair scandal involving Mei Wei’s CMO that broke out on the Internet last night, Cheng Lijun didn’t come to pick him up in person that morning. She only sent a text message to Qi Yu, simply relaying the incident and saying that she was preparing for an emergency meeting at the company.
When Qi Yu arrived at the company, it was obvious that the employees were all whispering about last night’s affairs. A deep and tense atmosphere enveloped the entire office.
Wu Shuang said upon seeing him, “President Qi, did you see the news yesterday? There’s been an incident regarding Chief Liu!”
Qi Yu: “En, I saw.”
Wu Shuang hadn’t fully understood the internal information of Qi Yu’s investigation until now. He thought that Qi Yu had already given up. Now when he said Chief Liu had had an incident, this guy was actually a little…excited! ?
This reaction caused Qi Yu to have great affection for Wu Shuang. He resisted the urge to tell the other party the truth. Pretending to be calm, he said, “When I first came to the company, the company’s people also asked an internet celebrity to accompany me to eat. It’s hard to tell what’s going on just by watching that video. I’ll talk with Chief Qin later to find out the details.”
Because Reporter Yang’s people didn’t have photographic proof of what Liu Qi and that internet celebrity had actually been up to in that room, Qi Yu thought about it and saw that the public relations department could use the excuse that “the internet celebrity was only accompanying the executive to eat” or that it was part of “routine practice due to their mutual cooperation” to forcibly whitewash this matter. They would then internally give Liu Qi a token punishment to tear off this incident.
At 9:30, Chief Qin convened a meeting with several senior executives of the company as well as the managers and deputy managers of the public relations department to discuss how to deal with the scandal that broke out last night.
Just as Qi Yu expected, at the meeting, someone proposed to issue a statement that “the company was conducting an internal investigation of the matter” first. The public relations department will them work towards whitewashing the incident.
Chief Qin listened to the opinions of the people gathered, but turned to ask Qi Yu’s opinion.
Qi Yu was momentarily taken aback. He said solemnly, “Let’s first check if it’s true. If Chief Liu really did do it, I don’t think we can muddle through this by just letting the public relations department whitewash the matter. The company will still have to acknowledge that its employee that done something improper and publicly punish personnel who have disturbed the company. Only then will we be able to retrieve the brand’s reputation.”
Chief Qin immediately nodded and agreed: “I agree with President Qi’s idea. The company will immediately set up an investigation team to get to the bottom of this problem with Chief Liu’s private life within the next three days. We will then discuss how to deal with it.”
After hearing the words of the two, everyone in the meeting was secretly alarmed. In previous meetings, the nominal young president only nodded in agreement and had Qin Hanyao make the decisions about everything. But today they seem to have changed roles?
This was…really a change in regimes!
