"Xiu Rui, thank you."

Xiu Rui was taken aback, then chuckled lightly, "No need to thank me, we're all friends, isn't it only right to help a friend? Alright, go and get on with your business, I won't bother you any longer."

Before Qi Jiu could reply, he hung up the phone.

Ninglan had already recovered to her best condition, her face still showing the same calm expression as before. "BOSS, is there anything else I need to do?"

"No, Alan, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Xiu Rui's mood has improved significantly. Although the smile on his lips isn't very obvious, it's still noticeable.

Upon hearing this, Ninglan stopped talking, nodded, and shut her mouth, behaving very obediently. She even began to do other things.

On the other side, Qi Jiu looked at the phone that had already been disconnected and pursed her lips.

Just as she was about to turn around and give orders, she felt a commotion behind her. Looking up, she saw a line of SUVs appearing in front of her. It was quite a sight, even surprising her.

And so, a tall, upright man, dressed in the same work clothes as Qi Jiu, appeared amidst the somewhat surprised gazes of the crowd.

Looking at the newcomer, Qi Jiu chuckled, then raised an eyebrow with interest. "Didn't you say you had something to do and couldn't come? Now you're sending your own soul out?"

Qi Silin smiled, glanced at Joel, then at the person next to Linde, and quickly looked away.

"It's alright now."

"Yeah, what could possibly happen? Things that need to be done have either been done ahead of schedule or postponed. There's not much else to do."

Chongyu, standing to the side, chuckled. It was unclear where he got the audacity to now dare to tease Qi Silin.

But upon hearing this, and seeing Qi Silin's smile widen even more, he seemed to have no desire to argue with him anymore.

Chongyu: "..." This dog food is too much.

It seems that sometimes it's best not to talk too much, or you'll just overdo it.

Within the Klin family.

Mingyan looked at the people in front of him, his expression not very good. He felt restless just sitting there, and the constant glances from them made him very irritable.

"What did you say back then? That the Klin family would be fine soon. In just a few days, all of our Klin family's cooperation has disappeared? If it had lasted a few more days, we probably would have gone bankrupt by now?"

Inside the lobby, a middle-aged woman dressed as a female elite, wearing high heels, sneered.

Several key members of the Klin family standing nearby shared the same expression. "You are now the head of the Klin family. Many problems cannot be solved by us alone. If you rely solely on us, you should relinquish your position as head of the family as soon as possible."

He has no skills whatsoever, so what kind of person is he to be in power?

Once the topic is started, it flows like an unstoppable torrent.

"If you ask me, we shouldn't have let John go in the first place! Otherwise, our Klin family wouldn't be in this mess now. John is a genius!"

"Who says otherwise? If he were still here, our Klin family wouldn't be in this predicament, stuck in this awkward position."

"..."

The saying "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it" has a basis. If only a few people were dissatisfied before, now that something like this has happened and the Klin family is about to be destroyed, who will still believe him?

Even if they believed it before, they would probably have doubts now because of this.

Mingyan looked at the faces of those people in front of him and laughed in anger.

"If I weren't capable, how could the Klin family have survived until now? And now that something's happened, they're coming after me?"

"Have you forgotten that you weren't the one initially chosen to take power?" The female elite sneered, her eyes full of mockery towards Mingyan.

"They're just barely surviving now. If it were John, he would be on a much higher level by now!"

When this topic came up, the few people who had initially supported Mingyan started to stir up other topics by fanning the flames.

"John...if only..."

“Mr. Mingyan, a group of people have arrived outside. They say they are distinguished guests of the Klin family and can resolve the current crisis of the Klin family.”

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler entered, his expression somewhat pleased.

"Distinguished guest?" Mingyan was taken aback. Just as he was about to say something, a face suddenly appeared in his mind, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back down because of this face.

“Please let them in,” he said in a low, hoarse voice.

This action puzzled those around them. "A distinguished guest? Although the Klin family is currently facing difficulties, the status of a distinguished guest is not something just anyone can assume. Who exactly is this person?"

Suddenly, a questioning voice came from the side. Before Mingyan could say anything, a cold voice came from behind him.

"What? The Klin family has fallen to this state. Do I still deserve to be called a distinguished guest? I don't think I'm that bad."

Everyone turned around and saw a group of people walking in from outside.

The man and woman at the front looked like they had stepped out of a painting; they were a perfect match in both appearance and demeanor.

Just by looking at them, you can tell they're a perfect couple.

But right now, no one in the Klin family was in the mood to appreciate the appearances of these two people. Their faces, both familiar and unfamiliar, startled them so much that they stood up from the sofa.

"Star, Star Moon..." Why is the Star Moon BOSS here?

Who exactly invited them?

The female executive next to her suddenly seemed to realize something, and a look of sudden understanding appeared on her face. "Miss Qi Jiu, didn't you... steal the contract that belonged to our Klin family before?"

These words suddenly came out, which initially shocked the people around them. Their expressions changed instantly, and they looked at Qi Jiu with some hostility. But no matter what kind of looks they had now, how could Qi Jiu be afraid?

She didn't try to hide it at all and nodded. "It's me, is there a problem? Or... are you dissatisfied?"

The girl's voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of arrogance. The female elite, who had initially wanted to argue, met Qi Jiu's gaze and felt inexplicably panicked.

If it were someone else, she might have actually said the word "unconvinced".

But now the other party is...

"No...that's not true."

The female elite smiled and toned down her arrogant attitude towards Mingyan.

Upon receiving this answer, the little girl nodded knowingly. She knew exactly what the person was trying to say, but she didn't expose him.
