Xun Qian sent four bodyguards to Qi Xiaoyu, two of whom were at the hotel to protect his safety, and two of whom followed him wherever he went.
Zhang Han said to Qi Xiaoyu, “You should have heard something at the banquet. Although the Mao family is on the verge of collapse, there are still issues that require attention. I’m afraid that someone will retaliate against you, so please allow them to follow you during this period.”
Zhang Han was originally afraid that Qi Xiaoyu would not accept the people sent by Xun Qian. Unexpectedly, Qi Xiaoyu agreed as soon as he said it.
Zhang Han was both relieved and sad. He felt that if their boss missed someone as good, sensible, and not pretentious as Qi Xiaoyu, he would never find another one, even with a lantern1An idiom which means something is very rare and hard to find..
Qi Xiaoyu cherishes his life. Of course, he knows the current situation. He takes two bodyguards with him wherever he goes, and he pays special attention to his usual schedule.
He remembered Mao Chi’s ending in the original book. The entire Mao family was acquired by Xun Qian, and the Mao family no longer had a foothold in S City. Mao Chi was sentenced to ten years in prison for economic crimes.
No wonder he went straight to Xun Qian and won’t let go when he gets the second chance.
Qi Xiaoyu concentrates on his work and doesn’t ask about things outside, but the news about Xun Qian and Mao’s family keeps coming into his ears.
From the economic page to the entertainment page, from social news to financial interviews, you can see the news of the fight between these two gods.
It has to be said that Xun Qian’s methods are really powerful.
Even before this, Xun’s shares have been in turmoil and even fallen several times.
But Mao Chi’s attack on Xun Qian never reached the most critical point.
Or it can be said that Xun Qian is a cunning rabbit with three burrows. No one can grasp the key point.
Far less than Xun Qian’s counterattack this time, which hit the target with one strike, and the Mao family was penetrated with one strike with no power to turn the tide.
This news caused a big stir in S City, and many people paid attention to it. Even Yu Xiaosheng paid attention to the news every day.
In Yu Xiaosheng’s words, “We are now also people who manage a company. Reading more economic news will be of great benefit to the management.”
While reading, he was amazed, “I used to hear others talk about Third Master Xun and couldn’t care about him. But since I saw him at the birthday banquet that day, I’ve felt that everything was wrong. He was only in his twenties at that age and appearance. I really didn’t expect him to be so powerful in what he does. His resume is comparable to that of someone who has lived a lifetime. Not to mention he’s in a wheelchair; how in the world did he do so much?”
He then coughed twice and said in a serious manner, “He’s really a role model for my generation. I also want to manage my people in this way.”
Xun Qian’s resume is indeed beautiful. He graduated from a prestigious university with a double bachelor’s degree in economics and law.
Weihao Hotel and several nearby commercial buildings were all built by him.
To build the highest-end office building, introduce new business models, and develop online and offline linkage, although Xun Qian is not very involved in Xun’s direct operation and management, every decision he makes will inevitably affect the overall economic development of S city.
It is precisely because of the foundation he has laid that no matter what his uncle and Xu Xueying do, Xun Company will never fall apart.
Therefore, every time a magazine writes about him, his face doesn’t need to be shown. Just these beautiful resumes and achievements can scare people.
Yu Xiaosheng was chasing Xun Qian like a fan chasing an idol.
He sat in the office with his legs crossed, holding his mobile phone, and could scroll for two or three hours in a row. The more he read the reports, the more he admired Xun Qian.
He also followed a few well-reported public accounts and set up a special following. In this case, he got to read the news as soon as there was a new push.
At noon that day, everyone was having lunch together. Yu Xiaosheng seemed to see some amazing new push and slapped the table hard, which scared Qi Xiaoyu, Li Kun, and another newly hired female assistant named Momo, who were eating at the same table.
There were four dishes and one soup on the table: braised tofu, stir-fried cabbage, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried black fungus with yam, and pigeon soup.
Qi Xiaoyu had been busy with work recently, and his throat was a little inflamed, so the meals were prepared as lightly as possible according to his physical condition.
The female assistant was new and didn’t know the depth of the situation, so she asked cautiously, “What’s wrong with Brother Yu? Is there something wrong with the company?”
Li Kun comforted the assistant while eating, “Momo, don’t pay attention to him, he has been chasing stars recently, and it’s often like this.”
Momo said, “Oh,” and sure enough, Yu Xiaosheng handed over his mobile phone. On the screen, Xun Qian and a woman were photoshopped together.
Li Kun frowned and put down his chopsticks. “Who is she?”
Momo saw that the atmosphere wasn’t right and answered carefully, “It seems to be Jiang Jing. I saw her on a talk show a few days ago.”
Yu Xiaosheng nodded his head in agreement. “Yes, it’s Jiang Jing. On the day of the banquet, she exchanged no more than a few sentences with him. Now she’s hyping herself up, saying that she and Xun Qian were high school classmates and they reunited recently, and so on.”
Qi Xiaoyu didn’t say anything, just eating by himself.
Li Kun came over to read the report. After a few glances, he said, “I think she was just bluffing. The only truth is probably the fact that they attended summer camp together in high school.”
Yu Xiaosheng thought about it and clamored, “That’s right. It’s just to increase her popularity and raise her status. Xiaoyu, why don’t we also promote your relationship with Xun Qian? That person said he likes to listen to your singing. By the way, you still haven’t told me if the car that came to pick you up that day was sent by Xun Qian or not?”
Li Kun glanced at Qi Xiaoyu’s expression and quickly changed the subject: “No… no need to do that, Brother Yu. Xiaoyu is popular enough right now.”
Yu Xiaosheng was not very interested in the dishes on the table. His attention was on gossip.
After hearing what Li Kun said, he immediately took back his phone and very skillfully flipped through a few reports. “Okay, whatever you want. But look at how these people package themselves. Boss Xun probably didn’t even look at them, but the gossip news reported that they had eaten together and drank together, just short of living under the same roof.”
Yu Xiaosheng was right.
Once Xun Qian appeared in public, people who advertised that they knew Third Master Xun popped up like bamboo shoots after rain.
Qi Xiaoyu took the coat in his hand and stood up. “Jiang Sicheng said he wanted to see me. I’ll leave first.”
Yu Xiaosheng had never known about Qi Xiaoyu and Xun Qian’s affairs and turned his head to look at Li Kun. “What’s wrong with him? Why has he been so weird recently?”
Li Kun didn’t know what to say. Since the incident in May, he never dared to mention Xun Qian in front of Qi Xiaoyu, although Qi Xiaoyu looked no different than usual on the surface.
But he knew that Qi Xiaoyu placed great importance on this matter.
Otherwise, with Qi Xiaoyu’s generous and open-minded character, he wouldn’t have given Xun Qain the cold shoulder but would have smiled and eliminated enmity, or would have been able to maintain the surface politeness and friendliness as usual.

Qi Xiaoyu turned a deaf ear to the outside world and concentrated on work.
The previously filmed “The Evil,” directed by Wang Mingge, has now entered the promotion period and will be released in prime time in October.
He also negotiated the script in Chu He’s hand.
It just so happened that Wang Mingge was also interested in the script, so he took the lead, allowing Chu He and Wang Mingge to get to know each other, and together they prepared for the movie.
Unknowingly, in the busy news reports, in Xun Qian’s overwhelming victory, in the promotion meetings, and in intensive work, summer soon came to an end, and gusts of autumn wind gradually rose.
On the first weekend in early September, the weather was slightly cool after an autumn rain.
Qi Xiaoyu took the exclusive elevator from the top-floor suite directly to the underground parking lot. The driver and bodyguards were all waiting for him downstairs.
The cool autumn breeze blew in from the half-open window, reminding Qi Xiaoyu of the slightly chilly autumn when he first arrived at the Xun family.
Qi Xiaoyu coughed. His sore throat had been dragging on for almost a month and had not healed.
And as autumn came, the weather became drier and drier, making him even more uncomfortable.
On the road outside the car window, there were couples holding hands and shopping, and some people were walking their dogs on the public lawn.
Bustling and lively.
Although autumn is a bit dry, it is indeed a good season.
He missed White-browed Hero a little.
Qi Xiaoyu wanted to find a time to ask Zhang Han or Butler Cheng to bring the dog out to play with him.
He was thinking about this matter, and it seemed that he had a telepathic connection because he received a call from Butler Cheng right away.
Qi Xiaoyu closed all the car windows.
The voice coming from the phone was hesitant but happy: “Xiaoyu, are you busy?”
“Hm? No, I have time now.”
“It’s about Xiao Hei.”
Qi Xiaoyu’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s wrong with it?”
“Don’t worry, it’s like this; a few days ago, the Third Master took it to get this year’s vaccine and also did a full body check. The doctor said that it was not fully developed and might need surgery.”
Qi Xiaoyu was a bit confused about this statement. After thinking carefully, he only remembered that White-browed Hero had sound limbs and a flexible mind, jumping around every day without any signs of incomplete development.
“What do you mean by incomplete development?”
“It’s…” Butler Cheng coughed, “He only has one testicle, and the other one hasn’t grown out. It may be congenitally underdeveloped.”
“Is… is it?” When Qi Xiaoyu picked it up, he really didn’t think of checking out this place.
“Yes…it was discovered by the Third Master accidentally. During the full-body checkup, the doctor at the pet hospital also specifically pointed out that the other one that hasn’t grown out is very likely to develop diseases, so a sterilization operation should be performed as soon as possible.”
Qi Xiaoyu was thinking about how in the world Xun Qian suddenly found out when he heard Butler Cheng mention “sterilization?”
“Uh…see, I’m getting old and confused. It’s a sterilization operation…”
Qi Xiaoyu has not seen White-browed Hero for a long time, so he said, “Okay, I’ll take it for surgery.”
“The Third Master has taken it to the pet hospital today. But we think it’s better to tell you about this; after all, he may not be able to…Do you want to go to the hospital to see it?”
“Well, tell me the address of the hospital; I’ll go there now.”
