Chapter 247 Someone's with Me

After the plaster was applied, Yu Li exclaimed, "It doesn't hurt as much anymore, and it feels a little cool."

"Lili, you tend to move around a lot when you sleep at night. To avoid putting pressure on your ankles, I think it would be better to put a pillow under your calves to elevate them. That way, you won't move around so much while you sleep. What do you think?"

Yu Li naturally had no objections, after all, no one wants to get injured, especially since such a foot injury would make it inconvenient to go to work.

Qi Chenyan found a smaller pillow and placed it under Yu Li's right calf.

Yu Li tried it out and thought it was pretty good.

"You should go take a shower too. Mr. Qi has been busy helping me all day. He's really worked hard."

Qi Chenyan also got up and rubbed her head, "As long as you are safe and sound, my workload is nothing."

After Qi Chenyan went to wash up, Yu Li finally relaxed, lay on the bed, picked up her phone, and sent a message to her best friend.

Pear Blossom Grass on the Plain: [Is my poor darling still working overtime?]

My best friend went on a business trip a couple of days ago. Being a general manager isn't an easy job. Qi Xi is busy every day and often has to attend meetings.

There are often large meetings followed by smaller ones, and endless social engagements to deal with.

Of course, Qi Xi rarely gets drunk at social events; she usually only drinks until she's drunk enough.

After all, her identity as the daughter of the Qi family has always been an open secret.

Even those clients, when they were at the dinner table with Qi Xi, had to consider the Tianhe Group when talking to Qi Xi.

There's a rumor circulating within Tianhe that's spreading like wildfire.

Since Qi Siyue, the former president of Tianhe, was demoted to a hotel, the Qi family seems to have begun to cultivate a new successor.

Qi Xi is Qi Siyue's younger sister, and they are both of Qi family blood. It is not impossible that the Qi family might choose to abandon Qi Siyue and instead raise Qi Xi.

More importantly, I had heard that Qi Siyue was doing well at the hotel, and the chairman of the Qi family was originally going to agree to let Qi Siyue return to headquarters.

However, something unexpected happened. Not only did Qi Siyue not return, but Qi Xi, as the general manager of Lantian TV, was personally led by Old Master Qi to make an appearance at the shareholders' meeting held at the group headquarters.

Although Qi Xi's current position is still the general manager of Lantian TV, she has already begun to get involved in the group's internal business after the shareholders' meeting.

This business trip was related to an internal business matter within the group.

Tianhe Group's business scope covers all aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation. In Qi Xi's words, Tianhe controls and manipulates a person's entire life, from birth to death.

Previously, Qi Xi was just an ordinary person living away from home, so naturally he had no feelings about this.

Only after gradually getting involved in the group's core business did she truly understand what real capital operations are.

It also makes a deeper understanding of why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Because the rich are not just money movers, but rather they produce money continuously.

In the past, Qi Xi thought that being able to work at Tianhe as a white-collar worker would be enough to make him proud in his small village.

And now—

Qi Xi excitedly said, "Lili, turn on a video, I'll show you a different view."

In that video segment, Qi Xi looked down from the top of the presidential suite, overlooking the dazzling night view of Shanghai.

The city's hustle and bustle, its dazzling neon lights, and its endless stream of cars are all captured in the view.

"The view from the top floor is indeed different, but Xixi, I feel like you're missing something."

Yu Li had a sudden inspiration, "We need a glass of red wine, let's get started!"

Qi Xi slapped her forehead, "Right, right, I knew it! I'd been posing for ages, but it just didn't look like I had the classy vibe of a modern woman. Lili, you have the sharpest eye."

The presidential suite has a full-wall glass wine cabinet displaying wines of various brands and vintages.

Qi Xi tiptoed around, picking and choosing, but then became puzzled. "Why do these wines only have the brand and vintage listed below them, and even the place of origin, but no price?"

Yu Li guessed, "Maybe it's because they can afford to stay in a presidential suite that costs 150,000 yuan a night, so why would they care about a few tens of thousands of yuan worth of red wine?"

"Honey, be bold! You're now the daughter of the Qi family, the richest family in Beijing. Besides, this trip is on official business, a publicly funded vacation. What's the point of life if you don't seize the time to enjoy it?"

Qi Xi slapped his thigh, then stepped onto the ladder and reached the top bottle of red wine.

"Although I don't know how to identify red wine, my intuition tells me that the one on top should be the most expensive, I'm sure of it."

As he spoke, Qi Xi used a wine opener to open the wine glass and poured himself a full glass.

"Come, let's toast to ourselves, to the beautiful scenery tonight, to this decadent life, wow~"

Qi Xi twirled and flaunted a glass of red wine.

She felt that just drinking was a bit dry, so she looked around and finally fixed her gaze on an old-fashioned phonograph, randomly choosing a vinyl record and putting it on.

"Hey baby, get moving."

Yu Li was amused by her blissful expression, but still reminded her, "Take it easy, baby, don't drink too much again. I can't dance with you right now."

"Yes, yes, our Lili is pregnant now, so she can't jump around like that..."

Before Qi Xi could finish speaking, Yu Li's camera suddenly panned downwards, and Qi Xi keenly noticed something.

"Wait, Lili, what happened to your foot? I think I saw some ointment just now?"

Thinking that her best friend was still away on a business trip, Yu Li didn't want to distract her, so she casually said, "I just twisted my ankle, it's nothing, just a minor injury."

But her best friend's face fell; she stopped drinking her red wine, paused her singing, and became very serious in front of the camera.

"Lili, from childhood to adulthood, have you ever been able to fool my sharp eyes with a lie? Quick, tell me the truth, what exactly happened? If you don't tell the truth, I'll fly back right now!"

Yu Li joked, "At this hour, there aren't any direct flights to Beijing, are there? Wow, is our General Manager Qi going to charter a private jet?"

"However, a friendly reminder: private jet routes need to be booked in advance."

Qi Xi called her name seriously: "Yu Xiaoli, I'm not joking!"

"Never mind, I'll just drive back."

Seeing that Qi Xi was really about to leave and come back, Yu Li quickly stopped joking and said, "It was just a minor car accident..."

Qi Xi's voice suddenly rose: "What car accident? Such a serious thing, why didn't you call me immediately! No, I have to come back right away!"

"Xixi, calm down. There's really no need for that. It was just a minor car accident. Apart from a slight injury to my right foot, look at me now, I'm as lively as ever. And don't worry, I have someone with me the whole time. I'm perfectly fine now."
