Chapter 498: 0499 returns to Zhongshan City! (Fifth Update)

Zhu Feng is in the news!

The entire staff of Novatech burst into joy over this news; it was all because of Zhu Feng that Novatech had lost many of its clients in the past few days. Today, with Zhu Feng being taken into custody, it became a delightful event for the company.

Fang Sijie was dumbstruck upon hearing the news. Was it the end of Zhu Feng’s business career, Zhu Feng who had been eyeing Novatech with covetous intent?

After all, it was good news. Fang Sijie seemed to see the future of Novatech, which had been fraught with difficulties, suddenly illuminated by a ray of sunshine that lit up the earth.

The Zhu Feng incident caused quite a storm. Almost the instant Zhu Feng was taken away, the top executives of HSBC Group were informed of the matter and decided to fire Zhu Feng, stating that someone like him was unworthy of being an employee at HSBC.

Of course, thinking of doing this only when the scandal had exploded on the news and was already public knowledge appeared to be too little, too late.

The beautiful young woman who was Song Jie’s mother called and inquired with Ye Qiu, wondering if he would continue to cause trouble for HSBC Group. After all, she had gathered from Ye Qiu’s intentions before that it was just because of Zhu Feng’s personal reasons that he had speculated on bringing down HSBC.

Ye Qiu pondered for a while but said nothing, signaling her to handle it as she saw fit.

This put the beautiful young woman in a difficult position. The high-level executives of HSBC had already learned from related departments that it was the Song, Jiang, and Luo families who acted to have Zhu Feng imprisoned instantly. They immediately inquired with these families about what they might have done to offend them.

After much consideration, the beautiful woman decided not to beat them dead, but also not to let it go just like that.

She simply gave a bland reply to the HSBC executives, "Zhu Feng offended someone he shouldn’t have."

Upon hearing this, HSBC expressed willingness to apologize and even took the initiative to serve as witnesses to solidify Zhu Feng’s charges.

Poor Zhu Feng had no idea that his attempt at retaliation against Fang Sijie caused him to be abandoned by HSBC Group and plummet to the rock bottom instantaneously, with the rest of his life likely to be spent behind bars.

Of course, if he knew that his former employer, HSBC Group, had betrayed him simply to appease the person who made the Song, Jiang, and Luo families bow their heads, he would probably have been so angry that he spat out blood on the spot.

Within half an hour, the beautiful woman indicated that HSBC was willing to make compensation and apologize, seeking Ye Qiu’s forgiveness.

Ye Qiu merely hummed in response before hanging up the phone; however, the beautiful woman knew that to please Ye Qiu, money seemed futile. She quickly remembered the second condition Ye Qiu had proposed—help for Novatech.

The beautiful woman did a favor for HSBC, hinting to them that Novatech had connections with Ye Qiu. If they wanted to earn Ye Qiu’s forgiveness, maintaining a good relationship with Novatech would certainly not be a mistake.

HSBC Group was repeatedly thankful and didn’t dare to hold any grudges against the beautiful woman. After all, her husband was no ordinary man, so they treated the incident as if it never happened.

"He cured Jie’er’s itching, and the conditions he proposed, not a single one was for his own benefit—all because of Novatech. He probably wanted to help the general manager of the company, Fang Sijie."

"Fang Sijie..." The beautiful woman murmured to herself, looking through the mirror at her reflection with two crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes, she couldn’t help but say, "If I were younger, would someone rage on my behalf as well... I truly envy that woman, Fang Sijie!"

This afternoon was the most magical and happiest one Fang Sijie had felt in a while.

Not only was Zhu Feng, that bad, old, lecherous man, taken into custody and fired from HSBC—a piece of great news—but also the companies that had previously terminated contracts with Novatech came back and made significant concessions for their unreasonable contract break, ceding a full twenty percentage points of the profits.

Putting aside those companies that had cooperated with them before, some other companies even took the initiative to visit and propose proactive offers to partner with Novatech. At that time, Fang Sijie felt as if she were dreaming; everything seemed so surreal. But when she saw the bright, happy faces of the company’s employees and pinched her own arm, feeling the pain, she knew it was real and not a dream.

On the way home, Fang Sijie felt extremely relaxed, as if the heavy stone that had been pressing on her chest had been shattered in an instant, lifting her spirits.

After opening the door to her house, she saw her daughter, who had been waiting at the dining table, and that young man.

Fang Sijie placed her bag on the sofa and sat down at the dining table, "Have you been waiting long?"

Soon, she noticed that Yinyin’s eyes were a bit red and asked, "What’s wrong with Yinyin?"

Yinyin pouted and said, "Brother Ye Qiu is leaving."

Fang Sijie’s heart trembled violently, and she didn’t know why, but upon hearing that Ye Qiu was leaving, her previously good mood was suddenly completely dispersed.

"Are you really leaving?" Fang Sijie asked, her eyes like rippling water.

"Yes, it’s time to return to Mid Mountain; there are still some matters to take care of," Ye Qiu explained.

Fang Sijie tried to squeeze out a smile, "Yes, you have your own affairs, there’s no need to always stay here with me."

Ye Qiu couldn’t tell if it was his own misconception, but he sensed a hint of loss in Fang Sijie’s words.

Yinyin didn’t want Ye Qiu to leave so soon, nor did she want to part from her mother so quickly. She felt very conflicted.

Ye Qiu comforted her, saying that in a few days it would be New Year’s, and she could come to Mid Mountain City with Fang Sijie.

That evening, Fang Sijie didn’t share her joyful news from the afternoon with Ye Qiu. Feeling somewhat irritated, she retired to her room early.

The next day, Ye Qiu left without much conversation. Fang Sijie took Ye Qiu to the station and watched as he got onto the train, "It’s a pity, I couldn’t share my joy with you yesterday," she mumbled to herself in a barely audible whisper, and turned to leave.

...

"Young Master Liu, Ye Qiu has left Capital City," Ma Zhipeng said.

"He left?" Liu Wen was surprised; he had only just found out that due to Ye Qiu, Song Jie and others had lost their arms, and that the Song, Jiang, and Luo families, instead of seeking crazy revenge, had been bending over backwards to please Ye Qiu. Consequently, Fang Sijie’s company, which was associated with Ye Qiu, had gained quite a few benefits.

All of this Liu Wen had observed with his own eyes, and just as he was considering making his move, Ye Qiu had unexpectedly drifted away – just when Liu Wen had the desire to strike, his opponent had run off.

"Young Master Liu, I think that Ye Qiu and Fang Sijie must have some unspeakable relationship. Why don’t we make a move against Fang Sijie first? I refuse to believe that Ye Qiu can keep being a shrinking turtle!" Ma Zhipeng suggested sinisterly.

Liu Wen’s face first broke into a cold laugh; Ma Zhipeng felt somewhat proud, thinking his suggestion had been accepted by Young Master Liu. But then he felt a burning sensation on his face.

With a slap, a hand struck Ma Zhipeng’s face.

"Young Master Liu..." Ma Zhipeng was caught off guard by the slap.

Only to hear Liu Wen say in a cold voice, "I, Liu Wen, am one of the Four Young Masters of Capital City. You want me to lay hands on a woman? In your mind, am I, Liu Wen, that despicable, liking to do such disgraceful things that cannot be brought to light!"

Ma Zhipeng trembled all over.

"I know my mistake, Young Master Liu, please calm down..." Ma Zhipeng nodded repeatedly.

...

In Mid Mountain City, Ye Qiu, who had just gotten off the train, made a phone call.

"Hello, Ye Qiu, I thought you, the instructor, were going to run away. If you don’t come back, I won’t be able to explain it to the chief," Lin Qiao’er’s voice bellowed from the other end of the line.

Ye Qiu held the phone a meter away from his ear until Lin Qiao’er finished shouting, then he brought it close again and spoke indifferently, "Tomorrow at five o’clock, have the personnel ready for special training to gather at the foot of Azure Dragon Mountain!"

"Hello... Ye Qiu, you say five o’clock, isn’t that too early?"

"You bastard, why aren’t you speaking!"

"Beep beep..."
