Chapter 192: Little Tricks
Mrs. Qin put her phone in her bag, glared at Qin Shiyun fiercely, and said in a low voice, "Why are you so anxious? I'm retreating to advance. You don't know Bai Lan's temper. She's so stubborn. The more I say this, the more she'll fight to get this done."
Qin Shiyun said unhappily: "Then there is no need for you to say that."
Mrs. Qin snorted coldly, glanced at Qi Mo in the distance, and said angrily: "You little girls only care about your face!"
Qin Shiyun said unconvincedly: "He obviously has more than one face, and he is also very capable!"
"Didn't you tell me a few days ago that the performance of the company he's managing is improving rapidly?"
Mrs. Qin was choked and waved her hands, "Forget it, forget it. No matter how hard we try, it's useless. The key is to look at others."
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Lin Xi again, thinking, it turns out Qi Mo likes this type. Is it too late to send Shiyun to learn kung fu now?
Old Mrs. Qi held Lin Xi's hand and smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
The more I look at this girl, the better she seems.
She was calm and composed. She came from an ordinary family and had probably never attended a banquet of this level. However, she was not at all shy. Instead, her aura was much stronger than those girls of the same age.
This is the demeanor that a mistress of a wealthy family should have.
Much better than that psychopathic woman Bai Lan.
She is even better than Qin Shiyun.
The old man looked at other aspects. The wisdom, decisiveness and courage that Lin Xi had shown before were enough to allow her to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qi Mo and face the ups and downs of life together.
Lin Xi was held by the hand and praised by Old Lady Qi for a long time. She felt a little embarrassed, as she always felt that the old lady looked at her with too much love.
She had just come here to wish Old Madam Li a happy birthday, but before she could say a few words to Old Madam Li, she was pulled over by Old Madam Qi.
Seeing the old lady talking endlessly with Lin Xi, the old man waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, you young people can have fun by yourselves. You don't have to accompany us old people."
Lin Xi smiled, nodded to Qi Mo, and left alone.
After walking a few steps, Lin Xi's eyes suddenly focused on a familiar little bee flying in the banquet hall.
She glanced at the little bee with a half-smile, and ran into Song Huaijin head-on.
Song Huaijin had already discovered the little bee's trick a long time ago, but he didn't know that it was Zhou Ying who did it.
He leaned close to Lin Xi and whispered, "The little bee is a drone. I don't know who let it in."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's from the institute. I have one too."
Song Huaijin was a little surprised. "Is there anyone here who needs to be monitored? Isn't that kind of thing usually handled by the Security Department?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "I don't know. Perhaps there are people with suspected superpowers in this banquet hall."
The two were talking in a low voice when Qin Shiyun came over.
She first shouted exaggeratedly, "Uncle Song!"
Then he looked at Lin Xi again, "Lin Xi, long time no see."
She suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes darting between Lin Xi and Song Huaijin, pretending to be surprised and saying, "Ah, I read that report last time, and I didn't believe it. It turns out that you and Uncle Song are really—"
Her voice was a little loud, and she stopped talking midway through.
It leaves people with endless room for imagination.
Not everyone had read the report, and several women nearby began to whisper, "What report?"
Someone whispered, "I've seen it. Some time ago, Lin Xi and Mr. Song went to Country M together. Later, Country M also reported it. The two appeared at the airport together. Lin Xi said in person that she and Mr. Song were friends."
The women showed expressions of sudden realization, and their eyes turned towards Lin Xi differently.
Originally, they were quite respectful towards Lin Xi.
After all, she is not the kind of star who is just in the entertainment industry, but someone who is truly bringing glory to the country.
Although it is just a variety show, the influence of the show is so great that Lin Xi's reputation is much greater than those of Olympic champions.
Such people are naturally different from those celebrities in the entertainment industry who are surrounded by negative news. At least their image is positive.
But she was only eighteen years old, and she was hanging out with an old man like Song Huaijin. Obviously, he was not a good person either.
Everyone felt a little contempt for a moment.
Lin Xi would never suffer such a loss. She looked at Qin Shiyun with a half-smile, "Miss Qin, don't just say half of what you want to say. What's going on between me and Mr. Song?"
Her attitude was frank and her eyes were calm, which made the onlookers around her wonder if they were overthinking it.
Qin Shiyun was a little embarrassed. Seeing the puzzled eyes of the people around her looking at her, she gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't say that. It was reported by the reporters. They said that you were kept by Uncle Song."
Before Lin Xi could say anything, Song Huaijin beside her said casually, "I've read that report. It seems to say that she was suspected of being kept. How come when Miss Qin said it, it became a confirmation?"
"Miss Qin, you must be responsible for your nonsense."
Qin Shiyun smiled awkwardly.
Song Huaijin glanced at the crowd of onlookers around him, "Ms. Lin Xi, you are my benefactor. You once saved my life at a great cost."
In fact, Lin Xi saved him more than once. If it weren't for Lin Xi, he would have died countless times when he was on a mission before.
His gaze fell on Qin Shiyun again, "You have no right to slander someone like her!"
"As the saying goes, benevolence is in the eye of the beholder. Only filthy people always think the worst of others."
When everyone heard Song Huaijin's words, they believed it almost immediately.
With Lin Xi's fighting ability, there is no doubt that she saved President Song.
Everyone thought about it and realized that with Lin Xi's current international status and fame, it seemed that she didn't need to rely on Mr. Song for support. She just needed money to shoot commercials, not to commit herself to an old man.
Wasn’t the sports brand commercial featuring her and Qi Mo quite popular recently?
That is a real international top brand.
Advertising costs are not a small amount.
Moreover, Song Huaijin's tone seemed to be very respectful towards Lin Xi, and it didn't seem like they had an unbearable relationship.
Everyone turned to look at Qin Shiyun, many of them with a gloating smile.
You should know that among the guests present, Song Huaijin's personal assets rank among the top three.
The assets of the entire Qin family are not as good as the assets under the name of President Song. Where does Qin Shiyun get the courage to slander President Song?
Qin Shiyun's face flushed under everyone's gaze, and she could only say, "I, I also read what was said in the report. It's none of my business."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away quickly.
Song Huaijin nodded to everyone and walked aside to chat with Lin Xi.
Mrs. Qin soon received the news that her daughter had offended Song Huaijin.
She called Qin Shiyun over and said viciously, "Are you crazy? Why are you provoking Mr. Song for no reason? Do you know that the company is negotiating a project with Changfeng Group? If the project fails because of this, just wait and see how your father punishes you!"
