Lin Zhaohui glanced at Qi Xi's face and secretly cursed.

No wonder Gong Jing asked the couple to attend the appointment together; it turns out she had this in mind.

Since marrying into the Lin family, Qi Xi has lived a life of luxury and ease.

On ordinary days, he would at most get together with wealthy women to play mahjong or go shopping.

Not to mention being adept at navigating both political and business circles, he was completely clueless even about the most basic business dealings.

The moment Gong Jing appeared, she completely overwhelmed the couple with her presence. He was constantly being restrained, not to mention Qi Xi.

Lin Zhaohui took a deep look at Gong Jing and felt a deep envy for Li Donglai.

Having a virtuous wife like Gong Jing to assist you is indeed the dream of many men.

Gong Jing played a crucial role in Li Donglai becoming the richest man in both Hua and Xia states.

Many successful business figures have mentioned that if it weren't for Gong Jing, Li Donglai's rise to the top of the rich list would have been delayed by at least ten years!

Indeed, there is no harm without comparison.

Thinking of Li Donglai's virtuous wife and then of Qi Xi's spendthrift wife, Lin Zhaohui felt desolate.

Fortunately, Qi Xi gave birth to a talented son, ensuring the continuation of the family line, which made Lin Zhaohui feel much better.

"President Gong, you are indeed as capable as rumored. Since you mentioned Fusheng, I will not beat around the bush."

"The recent uproar on Weibo was orchestrated by my husband and me."

"But as far as I know, Fusheng shouldn't have any connection with the Li family, right?"

Lin Zhaohui shrugged. He thought he was going to talk business and cooperation with the Li family, but he didn't expect it to be a trap.

“My husband thinks that young man has potential and wants to help him.”

Gong Jing smiled and put down her teacup.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Lin Zhaohui was prepared to minimize the problem and resolve it altogether.

He didn't want to stand against Li Donglai over such a trivial matter.

He thought that Gong Jing would fabricate some lies to explain Lin Rui's relationship with the Li family.

Everyone here is a sensible person; they see through it but don't point it out.

Ke Gongjing didn't offer any explanation at all.

They're not even giving me a way out!

They completely defy common sense!

Lin Zhaohui's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "Rumor has it that President Gong is a shrewd and resourceful businesswoman, but meeting her today, she seems to be quite different from the rumors."

"Rumors should not be taken at face value, but there is one thing Mr. Lin may be mistaken about."

Gong Jing maintained her faint smile.

That elegant and graceful demeanor made Qi Xi, who shared the room with him, feel ashamed of herself.

“We’re not talking business, and I’m just conveying what my husband means.”

"I'm telling you, just listen."

humiliation!

Or is it a humiliation to be allowed into someone's home?

What do you mean by "you speak, I listen"?

Does the Lin Group not care about its reputation?

The Li family is indeed wealthy and powerful, but they shouldn't be so arrogant and domineering.

Lin Zhaohui's face was ashen: "President Gong, is the Li family really going to humiliate the Lin family like this for the sake of Fusheng?"

Are you teaching me how to do things?

Gong Jing tilted her head slightly and said with interest, "Mr. Lin, I hope you understand that I am just informing you, not discussing it with you."

"Gong Jing! Don't push your luck!"

"Shut up!"

"So noisy!"

Qi Xi, who was already furious, had just opened her mouth when Lin Zhaohui and Gong Jing retorted.

Gong Jing's expression turned cold. She slowly stood up and walked towards the door of the elegant room.

"I only used some of the methods you used against Shen Yun, and that's considered going too far?"

"Mr. Lin, I'll say it again, I'm just informing you, not discussing it with you."

"If there's a next time, I wouldn't mind talking to you about our ideals at a Lin Group board meeting."

threaten!

Absolutely domineering!

Lin Zhaohui was so angry that his teeth were trembling, but he dared not retaliate and could only hold it in.

He can ignore threats from others.

But since this person was Gong Jing, he dared not take it lightly.

Lin Zhaohui absolutely does not want a chairman from a different family to appear on the board of directors of the Lin Group one day.

In particular, this chairman is very likely surnamed Gong!

Looking back on the ups and downs of the business world over the years, Gong Jing has done quite a bit of this.

…

Overnight, Weibo became completely quiet.

All content related to the protests has been deleted.

Even the ubiquitous online trolls who specialize in stirring up trouble have collectively disappeared.

Just as everyone was lamenting the lack of excitement, a well-known influencer suddenly released a shocking piece of information.

The leaked content consists of dozens of chat logs, all of which contain private negotiations between Zhu Yan, Professor Hao, Professor Cai, and various marketing accounts.

The conversation was nothing more than using the topic to criticize Hei Fusheng.

This also involves insider dealings with the student council.

For example, they used the promise of extra points for graduation theses and promotion theses as bait to get the student union's management to negotiate with school leaders and put pressure on Fusheng by publicly addressing him through the school's official Weibo account.

"I can't stand it anymore, it's all a cover-up!"

"I feel like I've been used as a pawn by a bunch of conspirators!"

"This dog school is an insult to civility!"

"I wonder how many dirty things he did behind the scenes to get that professorship."

"It's outrageous! How much filth is hidden beneath this seemingly glamorous campus?"

…

The entire college system in Washington state was in complete chaos.

Students not only voiced their questions on the school's Weibo account, but some even gathered to protest at the school leaders' office building!

The situation developed in a way that surprised everyone!

Even the old man from the Huaxia Literature and Art Association did not expect that the materials Li Donglai sent were only 50-60% complete!

Despite the school's repeated attempts to clarify, the students simply wouldn't believe it.

It can be said that Zhu Yan, Professor Cai, and Professor Hao have taken away the interests of all the students!

Helping out can earn you extra points on your graduation thesis and promotion thesis.

What if there's a transaction involving money and power?

Does that mean I'll be guaranteed admission?

The female students were forced to rely on their looks to engage in... no, bestial transactions with these professors who held their future and destiny in their hands.

Or perhaps, the family member in charge wants their child to receive a better education.

Power and money.

Power and sex.

Power.

This is all dirty stuff that you can't see behind the scenes!

It may even have developed into a black market industry chain!

Everyone believed that Zhu Yan, Professor Cai, and Professor Hao were definitely not the first to try something new!

This time, the China Literature and Art Association spoke out again on Weibo.

The content is extremely limited, consisting of only three words.

Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!

For a time, everyone felt insecure.

The less state media says, the more serious the problem is often believed to be.

He's ruthless, but doesn't talk much.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Are these crappy schools in Huazhou shooting themselves in the foot?"

"He must be kicking himself."

"Just like the young man said, justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent."

Chen Duoduo and Ning Xiyuan were eating sunflower seeds and watching the lively discussion on Weibo with great interest.

Lin Rui was a little curious. In just a few days, how did the two women, who used to not get along, become as close as sisters?

Women are indeed strange creatures.

These days, I haven't been able to find any good deals in the daily specials section.

Lin Rui began to suspect that the system only marked daily specials for items that couldn't be sold or had excessively high prices.

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

"Hopefully the special offers section will be more attractive today."

Tonight we'll be heading to the Golden Hall to enjoy performances by renowned international piano masters.

As for him, he might also be dragged onto the stage to perform.

Taking this possibility into consideration, Lin Rui opened the store and chose the piano section without hesitation.
