The matter was concluded, and Fang Ming completely relaxed.
He dedicated himself entirely to rest.
Meanwhile, beside the outdoor pool at the Qin Family Villa, Qin Xiao, having calmed down, was having a much harder time.
He was currently wearing only a silk bathrobe, lying on a lounge chair, looking at the moon, and reviewing the entire live broadcast incident from beginning to end.
The live broadcast was overturned, the hostage was rescued, and the fierce bandit was captured.
This sequence of events not only failed to inflict serious damage on Yunlan International but instead allowed Mu Qingxue to soar using the momentum.
"They acted a few hours before the live broadcast started. Even if someone discovered them and called the police, the news couldn't have spread that fast. Therefore... Mu Qingxue definitely knew something beforehand to switch people at the last minute!"
"Was it an inside job?"
"Old Ghost cannot betray me. His life, his money, and the prosperity of his entire family are tied to the Qin Family's ship."
"But besides Old Ghost, the only person who had access to the core of the plan was Fang Ming."
Thinking of Fang Ming, Qin Xiao frowned deeply.
"Fang Ming? That doesn't seem likely either... Although he actively requested the task, I gave him the task content. As a kidnapper, telling Mu Qingxue the news wouldn't benefit him at all."
"And who is Mu Qingxue? A vulgar man like him, with a monthly salary of only twenty thousand and a head full of black stockings and JK uniforms, doesn't even qualify to carry her shoes. How could he possibly hook up with her?"
"A lackey tied down by women and money—if he truly had this capability, he wouldn't have died in prison in my place in the previous life."
Qin Xiao picked up the iced whiskey beside him and drank it in one gulp. The cold liquid slid down his throat but couldn't suppress the chill in his heart.
In his view, people like Fang Ming were more loyal than guard dogs, as long as they were given enough money and women.
He had neither the brains nor the courage.
"So... was it still that Master?"
Qin Xiao closed his eyes, frantically searching his memories of the previous life.
In the last life, when Yunlan International fell into a raw material crisis, Mu Qingxue expended great effort just to bring Yunlan International back to life.
But in this life, after I cut off Yunlan International's raw materials, not only did Yunlan International not go bankrupt, but they even managed to produce a jade dew??
"This person absolutely did not exist in the previous life!!"
Qin Xiao opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Old Ghost: "Old Ghost, help me investigate the Master behind Yunlan. If I want Mu Qingxue to submit, I must first eliminate this Master."
"Yes, Young Master Qin."
Qin Xiao had asked Old Ghost to investigate the Master the first time he appeared.
But he couldn't find any information about the person, so he had chosen to ignore their existence. But now... this person had repeatedly ruined his plans. He must be eliminated first... The night passed without incident. The next morning, Fang Ming woke up as usual.
After driving to the company parking lot and parking his car, he went to a bun shop and bought two meat buns, a braised egg, and a cup of soy milk.
The buns were a bit hot. He blew on them while slowly walking toward the Qin Corporation Building.
Slurp!!
Biting into a bun and taking a sip of the warm soy milk, Fang Ming felt immense satisfaction.
Although one million yuan couldn't buy a house or a super impressive luxury car, it could at least improve his current quality of life.
Therefore, he should be able to live a somewhat extravagant life for a while.
"Special Assistant Fang, good morning."
"Morning!"
"Morning, Brother Ming!"
"Morning."
After finishing breakfast, he arrived at the first floor of the Qin Group. The security team leader and the receptionist girl were both smiling and greeting Fang Ming.
Fang Ming replied to them in turn.
Arriving at the top floor of the building, Qin Xiao hadn't arrived yet, so it was time to slack off.
He expertly pushed open his own glass door and sat down at his desk.
Ding dong!
Mu Qingxue suddenly sent a message.
[Mu Qingxue]: "Um... I was too busy last night and forgot to ask, what should I call you from now on?"
Fang Ming couldn't reveal too much, but since contact had been established, he couldn't keep using a period as his name.
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Ming decided to stick with his previous alias.
[.]: "Just call me Mr. Ming."
[Mu Qingxue]: "Alright, Mr. Ming. If there's anything you need from my Yunlan in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
[.]: "Mhm."
After Fang Ming replied, he opened his computer, preparing to jot down some notes, when another WeChat message came through the Chat Group.
This time it wasn't Mu Qingxue, but Shen Wanyin?
[Shen Wanyin]: "Mr. Ming, what have you been busy with lately?"
Seeing this message, Fang Ming's mind instantly recalled Shen Wanyin's mature and charming face, and the fiery passion she displayed that night under the influence of the medicine.
Ahem, ahem. Fang Ming coughed twice uncomfortably.
[.]: "Just arrived at the company, getting ready to start work."
[Shen Wanyin]: "Work? Does a Master like you need to personally go to work?"
Clearly, Shen Wanyin didn't believe him at all.
Although she didn't know much about Fang Ming, she knew he was a big shot who could make Zhou Zihao obediently compromise. Would such a big shot work like a slave for someone else??
[.]: "If I don't work, how will I support myself? (Doubtful face jpg)"
[Shen Wanyin]: "You certainly know how to joke! (Pouting face jpg)"
[.]: "Why would I lie to you? I work nine to five every day, act according to my boss's mood, and my monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan."
[Shen Wanyin]: "Excessive modesty is just arrogance, you know. If you're a slave with a salary of a few thousand yuan, then what are the rest of us? Leeks in the field?"
[.]: "Fine, I admit I lied."
Shen Wanyin sent an emoji that meant "I knew it."
Fang Ming calmly replied by typing with his mind.
[.]: "Actually, it's not a few thousand, it's over ten thousand."
[Shen Wanyin]: "..."
[Shen Wanyin]: "Alright, alright, if you say it's over ten thousand, then it's over ten thousand. Even if you told me you were applying screen protectors under an overpass, I'd believe you, okay?"
Seeing her reply, Fang Ming was speechless. In this day and age, why did no one believe him when he told the truth?
Although twenty thousand was slightly different from over ten thousand, the difference wasn't big, and the effect of saying it would definitely be the same.
So... can people have a little trust in each other??
[Shen Wanyin]: "Oh right, I heard Xiao Chen say you are only twenty-four this year?"
Fang Ming's eyelid twitched.
Why did that kid blab about everything??
[.]: "Yes."
[Shen Wanyin]: "You're so much younger than me, and you're Xiao Chen's friend. Should you start calling me Little Aunt, just like him??"
[.]: "How can I do that? We address you separately. He calls you Little Aunt, and I... I'll call you Big Sister at most."
Yanjing, CEO's office of a clothing company.
Seeing Fang Ming's reply, the corner of Shen Wanyin's mouth involuntarily curled up into a smile.
[Shen Wanyin]: "Then say 'Big Sister' for me to hear? I want a voice message!!"
[.]: "..."
