Morrison waited outside the door as Qi Feng left the office.
“Master!”
Because he noticed that something was not right, Morrison carefully probed, “Did something happen?” He then went behind him and started pus.h.i.+ng his wheelchair.
“Go and find out if Qi Lei met my father today. Try to find out what happened between them,” Qi Feng said.
“CEO Qi and Qi Lei?”
Morrison seemed surprised, but he did not ask any further questions when he saw Qi Feng’s expression. “Yes, I’ll find out soon!”
…
Qi Feng was no fool. Qi Qiming’s sudden change in att.i.tude was too obvious. Even he felt shocked by the drastic change, so he guessed that something must have happened between Qi Qiming and Qi Lei.
Qi Qiming initially agreed for Qi Lei to take over the market development in City B. However, something must have influenced him to change his mind. What was it?
Qi Feng felt a little uneasy.
Qi Qiming had been odd lately. He frequently changed his mind.
Previously, he had been extremely against Qi Lei, but he changed his mind now. While Gu Lingsha’s suggestion was good, Qi Feng was in disagreement as he feared that Qi Qiming might notice that something was not right if they just transferred Qi Lei away so suddenly.
Hopefully, Qi Qiming would not overthink it.
Qi Lei was getting more and more important to Qi Qiming who felt sorry for Qi Lei, especially since w.a.n.g Qin’s death. There should not be any more issues after w.a.n.g Qin died, but it felt like things were getting worse.
Even though Qi Lei looked like he did not care about his mother on the surface, Qi Feng could tell that Qi Lei was very protective of her. He thought that Qi Lei would just give up and eventually mess up his relations.h.i.+p with Qi Qiming just like before.
However, things turned out differently than he expected.
Mu Yuchen was providing Qi Lei cover, thus things might not be as easy as he thought. Even if he gained full control of Qi Kai, it might become another long battle like the one between Qi Qiming and w.a.n.g Qin.
Qi Feng would hate to see that happen.
Soon after he returned to the office, Morrison was back after asking around. He whispered beside Qi Feng’s ear, “I’ve found out what happened!”
“What’s the matter?” Qi Feng looked at Morrison coldly.
“Just before you entered CEO Qi’s room, someone saw Second Master leaving his office. It seems like they just had a fight. It must’ve been about transferring him over to City B,” Morrison stated his speculation.
Qi Feng nodded as he smiled coldly. “That explains it. That does sound like Qi Lei being the idiot that he is. Why is he trying to act all high and mighty?”
“Master, doesn’t CEO Qi want Second Master Qi to go now? Wasn’t the proposal pa.s.sed? I remember Manager Gu delivering it personally.”
“Shasha underestimated Qi Lei. Does she still think he’s the same person as before? Since my father mentioned it, we’ll put this on hold at the moment and do what he says. What does Qi Lei think he can do by staying here? He’ll only be the loser if he tries to play mind tricks on me!” A cold light flashed past Qi Lei’s eyes as he revealed an eerie smile.
“What are you planning?” Morrison somehow knew that he had a plan already.
Qi Feng slowly leaned against the back of his chair. He gave it some thought before saying, “Go to the HR Department. Qi Lei is hiring an a.s.sistant, isn’t he? Coincidentally, Xi Xinyi is finis.h.i.+ng her current task soon. Shasha wants to test her out and take her in as a subordinate. Tell Xi Xinyi to help Qi Lei out. He needs someone for the project in City B, and Xi Xinyi is the perfect candidate to do so!”
Qi Feng’s eyes gleamed intensely as if he was imagining something interesting unfolding before his eyes.
Morrison smiled, seeming impressed. “That’s a great move. Not only can we test Xi Xinyi and take control of Yue Hai, but there’s also Xi Xinyi’s relations.h.i.+p with Xi Xiaye. That will surely affect the friends.h.i.+p between Qi Lei and Xi Xiaye. It’s not impossible to destroy their bond! Even if it fails, we lose nothing!”
Qi Feng grinned. “I’m glad that you realize that. Give Shasha a call and tell her about my idea. I’m sure she’ll understand. By the way, give me Doris’s address. It’s about time I visited her.”
“Yes! Doris? Master, she called you twice before, but she stopped calling after you rejected her. I suppose she might be waiting for you to visit her as well. You also promised Manager Gu to have a talk with Mr. Gu as well, didn’t you?” Morrison gave him a confused glance.
Qi Feng smiled mysteriously. “Morrison, it’s only a few days away from them going to court. Who do you think will be worried between the two of them?” he raised his eyebrows and asked.
Morrison gave it some serious thought before replying, “Naturally, it’ll be Mr. Gu. Doris was the one who wanted the divorce. I think he doesn’t want to give her his a.s.sets even though they are getting a divorce. Moreover, I heard that Doris has the share transfer contract signed by Mr. Gu, so he’s at a serious disadvantage here…”
Qi Feng smiled and shook his head. “Not really. He’s an old, sly fox. I don’t think he’d put himself at such a disadvantage. Why else do you think Doris would want to see me?”
