Chapter 220 Arrived

Everyone looked up in confusion. What's the next plan?

Chi Li put away her smile and said seriously, "With Wang Deming's retirement, Li Qiren of Baihua Capital has lost his biggest backer. The case he suppressed should finally see the light of day."

Lin Wei, who was sorting out the information, was stunned for a moment, and then a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Previously, due to the threat from Baihua Capital, she and her girlfriend had to hide under the wings of Tianqiong Technology and usually didn't even dare to go out.

If those evildoers could be brought to justice, they wouldn't have to live in such fear every day.

More importantly, only by severely punishing these people can we deter potential criminals and see who dares to attack underage girls in the future!

Jin Jianmin was a little surprised. She had also heard about the dirty dealings of Baihua Capital. However, she was weak and powerless in the past. Even if she wanted to help, she was powerless.

But now, things are different from the past.

She looked up at Lin Wei across from her and said in a deep voice, "I can contact a lawyer friend and ask her to help take this case to the Supreme Court so that it gets the fair judgment it deserves."

Lin Wei's eyes flickered, and a moving expression appeared on his face. "Thank you, Judge Jin."

The rest of the people at the table were also deeply moved.

Despite being leaders in their industries, they still face insurmountable obstacles and bottlenecks to advancement. In the past, they could only fight on their own. Now, the foundation brings them together. By working together to seize top positions, they can gradually weave a powerful network, gaining influence, establishing their own rules, and overturning the outdated order!

Chi Yan supported her cheek with one hand and said softly, "Then I'll wait for Judge Jin's good news."

Jin Jianmin nodded slightly. She was a new official and was about to show off her skills and let the other judges and subordinates see her style of doing things. This case came at the right time.

Chi Li then raised her eyes to look at Mi Wanlan, "Ms. Mi, is your mother okay?"

Mi Wanlan's heart skipped a beat. She had just quietly taken her mother out of the mental hospital this morning. Even her father and the others were kept in the dark. How did the president know about it?

Then he thought about how easily she had replaced the judge, and it was no surprise that she could find out such a thing. He also felt more and more in awe of Chi Li.

She smiled bitterly, "Mother is fine. She was just mad at my scumbag father and wanted to tear him and his illegitimate son apart. I had to work really hard to calm her down."

Chi Qianqian curled her lips. "Don't worry. In two days, the equity change document forged by your father, Wu Liang, will be delivered to you. With it, you and your mother can not only regain your equity, but also control the shareholders' meeting."

Mi Wanlan's eyes moved slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She had no doubt that Chi Lan could accomplish this, but she had not seen her father since returning to China. The thought of breaking up with him soon made her feel excited, but at the same time, she couldn't help feeling a subtle sadness in her heart.

But when he thought of everything he had done to them, mother and daughter, his eyes immediately turned cold and hard.

She looked at Chi Li, her eyes deep. "Yes, President. I understand the Foundation's ambition to overthrow the existing structure and control the empire's economy. Once I obtain the position of Chairman of the Hegemony Group, I will fully cooperate with your plan."

Chi Qi nodded to her, and the smile on her lips deepened. She liked dealing with smart people.

The meeting has come to an end.

She tapped the table with her fingers, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"One last thing. The stock price of Huangtian Energy will collapse in two days. You can start shorting now and plan ahead. Don't miss this rare opportunity to make money."

"What?" There was a commotion at the conference table.

According to their understanding, Huangtian is planning to drive up energy stock prices, so how could it suddenly collapse?

The stock market is like a casino. If the news is wrong, they will only become the leeks to be harvested if they rush into the market.

Everyone was eager to know the exact source of the news, but Chi Lan stood up first.

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting. I have something else to do, so I'll log off first. Ms. Lin Wei is a professional fund manager. You can ask her if you have any questions."

Everyone stopped discussing and stood up together, "Yes, we will follow the president's instructions."

Chi Lan's figure flashed twice and disappeared in the conference room.

Everyone then turned their heated gazes to Lin Wei, and she instantly raised an awkward smile.

She doesn't know about this either!

A depressing atmosphere permeated the Huangtian Group headquarters.

The new Chief Executive Qiao Shunzhi knocked gently on the office door, and after hearing a low "Come in", he pushed the door open and walked in.

Qiao Zhizhang sat behind his desk with a gloomy expression. His eyes, which were usually sharp and majestic, had now become extremely dim and turbid, with clear hatred surging in his eyes.

He raised his head. "What's the matter?"

Qiao Shunzhi walked over quickly and put the information in his hand on the table.

"The judge's case has been thoroughly investigated. Wang Deming indeed suffered a sudden illness and is no longer able to serve as a judge. He personally signed the appointment letter beforehand, and no procedural issues have been found. The new judge, Jin Jianmin, is a member of the Liberal Party and has repeatedly defended women's rights at the Supreme Court. She is presumably a feminist, but she has no overt connection to the Sky Dome Group."

Qiao Zhizhang raised his gloomy eyes and stared at Qiao Shunzhi at the table, his tone full of suspicion, "Sudden illness? What kind of illness?"

Qiao Shunzhi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It's... neurosyphilis. I went to the hospital and he's completely demented now. He can't even take care of himself."

"What?" Qiao Zhizhang was stunned, then he thought about the good things Wang Deming had done, and felt that it was reasonable for him to get this disease.

So, is it really fate that they will lose this time? No!

Qiao Zhizhang's face turned grim as he said sternly, "If it weren't for that traitor Seventeen, we wouldn't have lost this case."

Qiao Shunzhi lowered his eyebrows, hiding the gloating in his eyes. As Qiao Zhizhang's third son, he didn't hate the murderers of Qiao Yanzhi at all. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have had the chance to ascend to the throne.

He pretended to be calm, "But Seventeen is in custody now, Father, should we find someone to get her out?"

Qiao Zhizhang sneered, "Looking for someone? Who? We don't have anyone in the court anymore!"

"Don't we still have... the chief's pardon?"

"She doesn't deserve it!"

Qiao Shunzhi was frightened by Qiao Zhizhang's fierce tone. He rarely saw his father so impatient. It seemed that Seventeen really made him very angry.

But this sister is really useful, and it would be a waste of time to keep her in prison.

"Father, I don't think Seventeen can be blamed entirely for this. We all know what kind of person she is. Big brother shouldn't have provoked her for a woman. Besides, if we really leave her alone, what if she reveals the assassination of the congressman..."

At the end of his speech, his voice suddenly dropped.

Qiao Zhizhang's face tightened and became increasingly gloomy. Just when Qiao Shunzhi thought he could no longer hold back his anger, he agreed.

"Well, wait a few days until the case has died down, then you can report her name and get her out first. I'll settle the score with her personally then."

Qiao Shunzhi smiled and replied, "Yes!"

I thought to myself that since I had done Shiqi such a big favor this time, maybe I could take the opportunity to win him over and use him for my own purposes.

But right now, there is still a tricky thing.

"Tianqiong Group's new product launch was a huge success. Almost everyone was talking about the Material Machine. Even our top executives downloaded Xinhuo and were busy placing orders. This is a huge threat to our group."

Qiao Zhizhang had anticipated this. He sneered, "They won't be able to hold onto their glory for much longer. Soon, Congress will pass a law banning the civilian use of material machine technology."

He drummed his fingers on the table and pondered for a moment. When he looked up again, his eyes were gloomy. "Send the CFO over. The 2 billion yuan investment from MK Capital must arrive tomorrow."

Qiao Shunzhi was shocked. On the surface, MK Capital was a foundation that invested in culture and art and cultivated artistic talents, but in fact, its behind-the-scenes manipulator was inextricably linked to its leader Zhang Quanmin.

You know, 2 billion is not a small amount. Qiao Yanzhi just squandered 10 billion yuan from the company. If he fails to kill Tianqiong this time, he will not be able to explain to the board of directors and shareholders by the end of the year.

It's really frustrating to be faced with such a difficult situation as soon as I take office. It's all because of that damn sky!

He gritted his teeth before answering, "Yes."

He then bowed to Qiao Zhizhang and left the office.

At eight o'clock in the evening, office worker Xu Lin dragged her tired body off the subway and walked towards her rented apartment with heavy steps.

I swiped my finger across the screen of my phone, wanting to order some takeout for dinner, but after flipping through the options, I found that they were all familiar restaurants, but none of them suited my taste.

However, no matter how bad the takeout tasted, she had to eat it.

She was too busy with work and had no energy to buy groceries, cook or wash dishes. What's more, her cooking skills were just average.

Plus, she has to save money to buy a house, so she doesn’t dare to order from those more expensive restaurants. She can’t spend all her salary on food, right?

She was too lazy to choose and was just about to order something to get by when a courier delivery notification popped up.

Xu Lin's eyes lit up. It was a material machine. It arrived so quickly!

She suddenly became energetic and even her steps became lighter.

After returning to her rented apartment, she began to sort out the discarded items that she had spent a lot of money on but was of no use at all.

Piled up express cartons, exquisite packaging bags and boxes, endless ugly clothes and shoes, cosmetics and jewelry gathering dust in the corner... I'm obviously very frugal, but somehow I still buy more and more useless things, and I have to throw them away every time I move.

As I was cleaning, my roommate Liu Ping pushed the door open and was startled. "Are you planning to move?"

Xu Lin said excitedly, "The material machine I ordered has arrived! These unused scraps are perfect for use. I plan to clean them all up and turn them into something more practical."

Liu Ping crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "Really? You believe this? That's just a waste of money! If it's really as hyped up as they say, how could you possibly snatch it up? It would have been sold to someone rich long ago!"

The smile on Xu Lin's face froze instantly, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her, and the joy in her heart disappeared.

Obviously, every time Liu Ping bought something, even if she thought it was flashy, she would praise it to the utmost. Why did the other party become so disappointed when it was her turn?

Just as she was about to say something, the doorbell rang. "It must be my material machine that has arrived!" She ignored Liu Ping and ran to open the door.
