Chapter 203 Something Happened

Qi Jianyue was waiting for these words. Although she was somewhat drunk, her mind was no clearer than it was at this moment.

She pretended to be unsteady and couldn't stand up at all. Naturally, Qi Siyue was worried and left her alone.

The secretary helped Qi Jianyue over, and Qi Jianyue was very compliant throughout the process.

After Qi Jianyue left, Qi Siyue drank quite a bit more alcohol.

He was really drunk; the effects of the liquor came on later.

After the dinner, Qi Siyue was clearly unsteady on his feet.

"Mr. Qi, are you going back to your room? Let me help you."

At this moment, a waiter seized the opportunity to step forward and try to help Qi Siyue.

But a young nobleman like Qi Siyue, who was born in Rome and was carefully groomed as the future heir of the Qi family, has seen all sorts of people.

Although he was drunk, he didn't completely lose his mind.

So after realizing the other party's intention, he dodged to the side, not giving the other party a chance to touch him.

"Need not."

Qi Siyue pinched his brow hard to keep himself awake.

The waiter was initially unwilling and wanted to say something more, but when Qi Siyue swept his gaze over him with a threatening intensity, he was instantly frightened and dared not step forward again.

The secretary went outside to see off the business partner. Qi Siyue was really having a headache and was too drunk, so he decided to take the elevator to his room by himself.

Upon arriving at the room door, Qi Siyue rummaged through his pockets but couldn't find the room key.

He was so drunk that he completely forgot that he had given his room key to his secretary and asked her to settle Qi Jianyue in first.

Unable to find his room key, Qi Si became increasingly agitated.

He's been dealing with a lot of mess lately, though he doesn't show it on his face. But he received the highest level of elite education from a young age and was groomed to be his successor.

It was once a true prodigy, but one day it fell to the brink of bankruptcy. Although the hotel is backed by Tianhe Group, it is not something that can be easily accomplished by just talking.

These days, Qi Siyue has been extremely busy trying to improve the hotel's operations.

Moreover, there was a rumor that the Qi family would be grooming a new successor to compete with him, with one of the two ultimately chosen.

The rumor was so detailed and convincing that it even reached his ears.

Qi Siyue certainly didn't believe it, but just two days ago, he learned that Old Master Qi had met with Qi Xi alone.

The next day, Qi Xi was parachuted into a television station called Lantian, which had recently been acquired, as its general manager.

Although this TV station is not very large, since it has been acquired by Tianhe, it is now one of Tianhe's subsidiaries.

Originally, apart from him, none of the other descendants of the Qi family had entered the group, but Old Master Qi suddenly did this.

And since the rumors had reached him, some people even subtly inquired whether the rumors were true.

The group couldn't possibly be unaware of this rumor. Although Old Master Qi may seem to be indifferent to affairs, he has actually been secretly controlling the overall direction, and he must have known about this news as well.

However, the authorities allowed the news to spread without any attempt to clarify.

Could it be... that Grandpa really intends to groom Qi Xi?

Although Qi Xi is his younger sister, she has been living away from home for over twenty years and has never received any elite training before. How could she possibly be competent?

Although Qi Siyue denied it in his heart and thought that Qi Xi did not have the ability, after all, managing a company is not a small matter, and it is not something that can be managed by just talking.

Without a solid knowledge base, certain management experience, and sufficient decision-making ability, it's not something you can just grab any random person and put them in charge.

If that's the case, then Grandpa is really getting senile. Even if he made a mistake before, people are bound to make mistakes.

Besides, it didn't affect the group's core business. If it weren't for my uncle's insistence on nitpicking...

Thinking of this, Qi Siyue shook his head and pinched his brow hard.

He was really drunk; how could he complain about his uncle? It was really inappropriate.

Just then, the door creaked open from the inside.

"elder brother."

Qi Siyue first heard a familiar call, and then a figure rushed towards him and hugged his waist tightly.

Just as Qi Siyue was about to push the person away, the other person said, "Brother, you're drunk. Let me help you in."

Realizing that the other person was someone he knew, Qi Siyue relaxed his guard and followed Qi Jianyue into the room.

The interview with Deng Bailing went very smoothly. In fact, because of the pleasant collaboration, Deng Bailing even sang a song a cappella during a bonus segment.

You should know that Deng Bailing's voice is hailed as a national treasure.

She almost never agrees to sing except for important occasions.

To be invited to sing a song on such an interview program is a great honor.

Qi Xi also participated in this filming.

Now she's openly and legitimately here to support her best friend.

As the general manager, understanding the operation of a television station is the most appropriate reason.

Moreover, Qi Xi had previously made it clear at a high-level meeting that "Celebrity Interviews" would be a key project for Blue Sky.

Since it's a key project, as the general manager, she naturally has to personally oversee it.

When the filming wrapped up smoothly, Qi Xi secretly gave Yu Li a thumbs-up, and the two best friends exchanged knowing glances.

At this moment, Deng Bailing walked over: "Old Yi knows that I am coming to participate in your program, so he specially asked me to ask Xiao Yu when you are free to come to my house for a visit. Old Yi will personally cook for you and show off his skills."

"The interview went smoothly. I'm free these next couple of days, but I'm not sure about Shen Yan yet. Let me ask him and then I'll contact you again. Is that alright?"

The two were having a pleasant conversation when Deng Bailing suddenly received a call from the dean.

After saying a few words, Deng Bailing's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly said, "I understand, I'll be right there."

"What happened?"

Yu Li noticed that her expression was off, so she asked her a question.

"Qianqian was out of danger yesterday and transferred to a regular ward, but when the nurses made their rounds today, they found that Qianqian's ventilator had been removed and she had fallen into a coma. She is still being resuscitated."

Yu Li's expression changed instantly. "How could this be? I'll go with you."

After such an incident, the dean was completely at a loss.

While anxiously waiting outside the emergency room, I saw Yu Li and Deng Bailing arrive.

"Senior Deng, it's all my fault. I was worried about the other children in the orphanage, so I went back to check on them. I didn't contact the caregivers to watch over them. When I came back two hours later, this happened. It's all my fault!"
