Chapter 202 Repaying a Kindness

Qi Jianyue didn't want to waste any more time on idiots.

Ren Qingxue has already exposed herself, so whatever she does next will be a futile struggle and will be meaningless.

However, after the incident with Ren Qingxue, Qi Jianyue came to a realization.

That means it's better to do it yourself than to rely on an idiot.

Since she can't go back as a daughter of the Qi family, she might as well find another way and change her identity.

Moreover, her identity as the daughter of the Qi family was fake. This fake identity was always a ticking time bomb, and it might explode any day now.

Instead of following her current plan, she should adopt a more secure identity and thus become completely bound to the Qi family.

“I’ve already given you a chance, but you were foolish enough not to seize it and even let the other party turn the tables on you. There’s nothing I can do.”

"I've done more than enough to help you this far, so please don't call me again."

After saying that, Qi Jianyue hung up the phone and quickly blocked Ren Qingxue.

Just then, the hotel staff started calling Qi Jianyue's name.

"What are you doing making phone calls here? Hurry up and serve the food."

Qi Jianyue was wearing a custom-made cheongsam from the hotel, but she had a little trick up her sleeve and pulled the cheongsam down a bit at the chest.

This will make her figure appear even more curvaceous.

Qi Jianyue couldn't guarantee anything in other aspects, but in terms of appearance and figure, she had been carefully nurtured by the Qi family for over twenty years.

How could those sparrows who wanted to climb up, with their rustic and unsophisticated air, compare to her?

Thinking of this, Qi Jianyue pulled her clothes down a bit, then put on what she considered her most charming smile, and followed several waiters into the private room.

All the guests in the private room have arrived.

Today, Qi Siyue is hosting a dinner for our partners to secure the hotel's biggest order of the year.

When it comes to business, drinking is unavoidable, and it often involves a lot of alcohol.

Previously, as the Qi family's designated next heir, Qi Siyue, as president, already had the power to make all decisions for the entire group.

With this identity, even business partners would rush to curry favor with him. Reaching a cooperation agreement with Tianhe Group was one thing, but more importantly, it was about getting on good terms with Qi Siyue.

But now, Qi Siyue has been demoted to a hotel under Tianhe Group that is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Furthermore, it is said that Old Master Qi is planning to cultivate a new successor, and this successor is a woman who has reportedly joined Tianhe.

However, according to the Qi family's consistent method of cultivating successors, they are first placed at the grassroots level to gain experience before being promoted to a core position at headquarters.

Previously, Qi Siyue was the undisputed heir, so everyone below fawned over him and tried to curry favor with him.

However, now that he has been demoted and is far from the core of the group, he is essentially a deposed crown prince.

Rumors are circulating within the Qi family that they are grooming a new heir, and these rumors are now being spread with considerable detail.

If it were false, Tianhe would have already come out to refute it. But now the news about the new heir is rampant, which is enough to show that the news is most likely true.

As a result, Qi Siyue's position became even more precarious and uncertain.

Therefore, Qi Siyue had no choice but to personally accompany the guests at the dinner party today, all in order to successfully sign the contract.

"General Manager Qi is so generous. Here, let me toast you again."

Qi Siyue had already drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and drinking alcohol easily causes a fever, so he had already taken off his coat.

His usually serious face was now flushed red from the alcohol.

He was clearly a little drunk, and when he raised his glass again, he loosened his tie.

Among the people in this private room, Qi Siyue was the most strikingly handsome.

After all, the Qi family's genes are there, and none of their descendants are bad-looking.

Therefore, when the waiter enters, he can almost immediately spot the young, tall, and handsome man sitting in the main seat.

No wonder even though Qi Siyue was demoted, so many women still flocked to him, wanting to get into his bed.

Even though Qi Siyue has been demoted and is now somewhat down on his luck, he is still a noble young master.

Even if he were penniless, he could definitely live off a woman just because of his looks.

While the other waiters were still figuring out how to get close to Qi Siyue in a legitimate way, one figure had already taken the lead.

Before Qi Siyue could even react, they simply snatched the wine glass from his hand.

He raised his glass slightly and said with a smile, "This glass is a toast to you on behalf of President Qi."

But when Qi Siyue saw that it was Qi Jianyue, he couldn't help but frown. "What are you doing here?"

Qi Jianyue did not answer the question, but instead drank the white wine in her glass in one gulp.

Nowadays, when discussing business over drinks, people usually drink baijiu (Chinese white liquor).

However, baijiu has a very high alcohol content. If you haven't drunk much before and just chug it down in one gulp, you can easily get drunk.

Qi Jianyue had just taken a sip when she was so spicy that she covered her mouth and coughed.

The client's boss laughed heartily: "This waiter is quite generous. Mr. Qi, judging from what you just said, do you two know each other?"

Before Qi Siyue could speak, Qi Jianyue added, "I don't know him. Mr. Qi kindly helped me with something before, so I'm here to repay his kindness."

Although Qi Jianyue has been expelled from the Qi family and removed from the family tree, she was still Qi Siyue's sister, whom he truly loved, after spending more than twenty years with her.

So when Qi Jianyue was about to pour the wine again, Qi Siyue held her hand down.

He said in a low voice, "I don't need your help. Get out."

"Brother, even you don't want to see me anymore?"

The word "brother" ultimately softened Qi Siyue's heart.

While he was still in a daze, Qi Jianyue had already picked up her wine glass again.

"This glass of wine is a toast to you on behalf of President Qi."

When toasting at a dinner table, it's customary to go around the table once.

Even if Qi Jianyue has a high alcohol tolerance, this round of fighting will result in someone's death.

But she acted as if she would risk her life for Qi Siyue, as long as his business deal could be completed.

But the alcohol kicked in, and he stumbled and almost lost his balance.

Qi Siyue couldn't bear it after all, so he stepped forward to support her and took the cup from her hand.

"That's enough, you'll die if you drink any more."

Qi Jianyue leaned almost entirely against Qi Siyue's chest, her eyes glazed over, but she said stubbornly, "No, I can do it, brother, let me help you."

“I was ignorant before, but now I just want to do everything I can to help you. I’m willing to drink myself into a stomach ulcer to get you back to headquarters.”

Seeing that she was about to dodge the wine glass again, Qi Siyue pressed her hand down, "That's enough."

He called his secretary and gave the room key to the other party.

"Take her to my room and settle her in first."
