Chapter 95 A Comprehensive Suppression
With Ji Ying gone, Qing Sui Power also went out of business.
Wen Li said fiercely, "I'll go."
...
Gu Gong tried every card in his wallet in front of the ATM before he was sure that his card had been deactivated.
And only Gu Yanchen has this ability.
He stormed out, intending to call that "unfilial son."
As soon as I stepped down the steps, I bumped into Zheng Xing.
Gu Gong pulled him to a corner on the side of the building with great suspicion and asked warily, "What's your purpose in following me?"
Zheng Xing realized he was annoyed with her, so she took out the card he had given her from her bag.
"If you don't want to be tied to me, just say so. There's no need to fob me off with a bank card that can't withdraw money. Here you go."
Gu Gong took the card, his expression turning serious.
"I'm not trying to fool you. All my bank cards were suddenly frozen, and I only just found out."
Zheng Xing's somewhat aggrieved gaze turned into disbelief.
"Really... I misunderstood you. I wasn't following you, I came to get my medicine. You were too..."
Zheng Xing spoke softer and softer, and then, feeling shy, she turned and left before finishing her sentence.
After taking a few steps, she turned back, walked up to Gu Gong, took out her card from her bag, and stuffed it into his hand.
"Here, this is the dowry money I saved from working several jobs, but it's only ten or twenty thousand yuan, because most of it was used to treat my mother's illness. You can take it for now and pay me back when things get better."
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Gu Gong grabbed her wrist and pulled her through the side door.
In the distance, under the shade of trees, Ji Ying watched quietly as the two entangled figures disappeared behind the door. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she turned and left.
It took Gu Gong more than two hours to return to the ward.
She sat on the edge of the bed, feeling utterly listless and extremely frustrated.
“That unfilial son retaliated by suspending all my credit cards, but I borrowed some money from a friend to pay your medical bills first.”
Wen Li was deeply moved and hugged him.
"Honey, Ji Ying doesn't like me. She's been whispering in Yan Chen's ear, which has dragged you into this."
As soon as she finished speaking, her whole body stiffened.
Gu Gong didn't notice and gently patted her back.
"It's alright, I'll go back to the antique shop to deal with some antiques. I'll go and smooth things over with Yan Chen later."
He told himself he was very busy, then told Wen Li to lie down and left the ward.
When Wen Lingxue returned with the milk tea, she saw Wen Li lying on the hospital bed, convulsing.
She quickly stepped forward, pressed the pager, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Wen Li's breathing quickened and her voice trembled, "He...he has lipstick marks on his neck...he really...has another woman..."
Wen Lingxue's gaze instantly darkened.
Wen Li grabbed her hand, "We can't let her take Gu Gong away. Help me kill her, kill her..."
...
The next day, Ji Ying and Xiao Xia went to attend the entrepreneurs' networking event held by Fuyao Energy in Kunshi.
The venue was set up on a riverside lawn, and the invitees were mostly industry leaders with extensive resources.
Qingsui Power emerged as a dark horse after successfully overcoming the challenges of heavy-duty truck battery technology, and should have been the most eye-catching new star at this networking event.
However, when Ji Ying stepped onto the lawn, he was greeted only by a scornful gaze.
"Isn't that Qing Sui's technical director? She was embroiled in that scandal yesterday, and she really dares to show up today."
"Technical Director? Does she really have any technical skills? Or did she sleep with some R&D guru and steal his technology? Hahaha..."
"Gu Yanchen is a respectable man, it's really bad luck that he ended up with such a wife."
The whispers of several male businessmen pressed against Ji Ying's back, their gazes filled with curiosity and disdain.
The few female entrepreneurs, however, coldly distanced themselves from her.
Xiao Xia frowned. "These people are supposed to be respectable figures, so why are they all judging others with prejudice? Don't they even have the most basic judgment? They just believe whatever they hear?"
Ji Ying lowered her eyes. "In the male-dominated business jungle, women's moral flaws are always magnified. Don't be fooled by their affable demeanor now; behind the scenes, they're always ready to crush their competitors."
Their Qing Sui, due to its superior technology, was regarded as a formidable opponent from the moment it first emerged.
Therefore, Ji Ying's "scandal" was merely a means for them to exploit the situation.
"Why don't you go first?" Xiao Xia didn't want to embarrass her.
Ji Ying smiled. "Leaving now would be playing right into some people's hands."
“That’s right. Our target is Chairman Liang, not these people. We don’t need to pay attention to them.”
Xiao Xia pulled Ji Ying to the drinks area and handed her a glass of orange juice.
"Don't touch alcohol, drink this."
Just as Ji Ying was about to reach out to take it, a glass of wine was suddenly spilled on her shoes.
She looked up and saw a short-haired woman in her fifties, who arrogantly raised her chin and smiled at her, saying, "Excuse me."
"It doesn't matter."
Despite sensing the provocation in the other person's tone, Ji Ying still responded politely.
"I'll give you a nice pair of shoes. You should leave now. I feel it's beneath me to have you around," the woman said.
"Mr. Xu is so humorous," someone nearby chimed in with a laugh.
Xiao Xia said angrily, "What do you mean? Who's the slut? This isn't over until you explain yourself clearly today!"
“Young lady, do you think you can remain untainted by the mud? Don’t be naive. It’s wise to distance yourself from this kind of person as soon as possible, otherwise your Qing Sui Power will suffer along with her,” said President Xu.
Xiao Xia laughed at her words, "Suffering? The 'new product' that President Xu's company released this year is just a different color and a different shell, yet they dare to call it a second-generation product. Are you deliberately trying to provoke me into driving away the core technical personnel because you're afraid that our technology will be surpassed by us?"
Mr. Xu did not react, but a business owner immediately chimed in, "Since Mr. Xiao has put it this way, let's terminate our raw material supply agreement. Our company does not cooperate with companies whose character is questionable."
Xiao Xia never expected that they would face a comprehensive attack.
How afraid are these people of a rising star taking away their interests?
Just as she was about to speak, Ji Ying pulled her back, and at that moment a commotion arose in the crowd.
It turned out that Liang Yizhi and his secretary were walking this way.
A person who upholds justice has arrived.
Just as she was about to be happy, Ji Ying shook her head.
“Mr. Liang,” President Xu nodded to him, “I really didn’t know that a company like Qing Sui would participate in the social gathering. I have always been disgusted by morally corrupt people. I’m so sorry to have disturbed your guests.”
Liang Yizhi's gaze slowly swept over everyone present, but when he passed Ji Ying, he didn't linger on her for even a moment.
The man had a faint smile on his lips. "For an entrepreneur, character is more important than ability. A collapsed reputation means a bankruptcy of credit. It's a good thing that you all can be so righteous."
