It turns out that the children of the powerful and wealthy always have their own special hobbies.

Just like Xu Shi's love for racing cars, he knew that Qi Maoyang was passionate about photography. This might be related to the nature of the conglomerate he belonged to. "Imaginary Number" is the most skilled in media and entertainment... In fact, Qi had previously worked as a reporter at the grassroots level, which honed his superb photography skills and also gave him great legs.

Of course, his statement that "women only affect my shutter speed" is just a pure excuse. This guy isn't some vegetarian monk; the fact that he and his father are like-minded is still talked about today.

In particular, "Imaginary Number" owns many entertainment companies, so it's incredibly easy for celebrities of all ages to come and have fun.

So it seems that when he said he wasn't interested, he might genuinely not be. Maybe after playing around for so long, he's just indifferent to everyone... Of course, it's also possible that a delicate flower like He Yuxia just doesn't suit his taste. Just because everyone likes photography doesn't mean they have to be together. It's hard to say.

Xu Shi didn't actually intend to play matchmaker; it was just a casual joke, so it didn't continue.

"So what good news is it? Chairman Xu, please tell us quickly."

Qi Maoyang was also shameless, and he kept pressing Xu Shi for answers.

"That's enough. Wasn't it a good thing that the five major conglomerates served your family before?"

Xu Shi said irritably, "Go back and write your article. Remember to give me plenty of space to praise me."

"Ah, okay, okay."

Qi Maoyang stopped pressing the matter and chuckled, his smile spreading across his face.

Indeed, it's true that the benefits that "Imaginary Number" can gain from the "Forgotten Ones" are very limited, not only because they were pushed out to be the villains, but also because there are not many people in this group who are suitable for their family.

As a large complex of media and entertainment, besides the necessary combat power, what he wants most are reporters, agents, planners, and people with the potential to become male or female stars, but unfortunately, there are really not many good talents in this regard among the "Forgotten Ones".

So in the end, apart from the guaranteed technical resources that all six major conglomerates could share, "Imaginary Number" didn't get much.

Not to mention the ongoing suppression of public opinion against the "Forgotten Ones"... As long as this continues, the two sides will always be openly opposed. It's already a good thing that these people aren't cursing the Qi family father and son.

In this situation, the previously agreed-upon concessions become crucial. In any case, after reviewing the accounts, Qi Maoyang found that he hadn't lost anything, and could even get more than he had expected.

So he didn't care anymore. And from another perspective, since he couldn't squeeze anything out of the "Forgotten Ones," it wasn't a big deal to break ties. The "Imaginary Numbers" weren't pushovers... We were just at the bottom of the six major conglomerates, and dealing with the others was a piece of cake.

He was even quite grateful to Xu Shi, because at least this guy was thoughtful and didn't just let the horse run without giving it grass. In particular, he didn't skimp on the "Snake Ring" concessions, which showed great business integrity.

What else could he be dissatisfied with? His attitude towards Xu Shi also proved this point; befriending him was definitely the right thing to do.

Watching the other person's carefree departure, Xu Shi couldn't help but chuckle.

He hasn't made his stance clear on Qi Maoyang yet. This guy, or rather "Imaginary Number," is somewhat marginal and unreliable in both the original work and reality. However, there's no obvious conflict of interest between "Snake Ring" and "Imaginary Number," and Qi Maoyang's behavior doesn't seem like he's outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant. So, he'd rather be on good terms with him. If it can be resolved through civil means, then there's no need to resort to force; it's too much trouble.

We need to wait and see.

He wasn't in a hurry; he figured he could see things more clearly if the bullets flew for a while longer... Right now, the most important thing seemed to be keeping an appointment with someone else.

"What did Director Tang want to talk to me about when he contacted me earlier?"

He found Tang Shuang, who hadn't left at all and was waiting for him not far away. As for the procedure of taking a statement from He Yuxia to explain the situation, he had the adjutant do it for her.

"...Can we talk to you at my place?"

Tang Shuang said cautiously, "This isn't the place to talk."

"OK."

Since Xu Shi had nothing else to do, he simply followed her instructions and got into the police station's car. He hadn't brought anyone else with him today; after hearing the news that He Yuxia had been found, Tang Shuang came to pick him up directly.

This was also the first time he had ever personally visited the Inspection Bureau—although Chairman Xu had a lot of criminal records when he was young, fortunately there were people to help him clean up the mess, so he never took this place seriously.

It's a bit shabby.

This was his first reaction upon stepping into Tang Shuang's office, and he silently made a mental complaint.

Nominally, everyone is a leader, the top leader, but the environment and standards are really too different... It's just simple tables, chairs, sofas, and filing cabinets, with all kinds of documents piled up messily.

Compare that to your office, which is both a lounge and a gym, and you can't argue with calling it a doghouse, right? Not to mention yourself, Su Lin also has her own office, although she rarely works there, but the conditions are at least ten times better than here.

"Please make do with the food, Chairman Xu."

Tang Shuang could also sense his thoughts, smiled self-deprecatingly, and prepared tea for him.

"Director Tang, you're too kind."

Xu Shi didn't mind at all, and instead joked, "You really need to redecorate this place, do you want me to help you?"

"Forget it, it's just an office space, there's no need for it to be luxurious."

Tang Shuang retorted, "The Inspection Bureau doesn't have that much budget either. Wouldn't it be better to use the money for something else?"
