Chapter 154 Starting Over
Only after confirming that Qi Siyue was still on her side did Qi Jianyue reluctantly shut her mouth.
"Anything else?"
Qi Xi held up a second finger: "Give back the deputy director position that rightfully belongs to my best friend, and make Qi Jianyue get out of Blue Sky TV."
Qi Jianyue was furious: "This is impossible! I earned the position of deputy director through my own abilities, why should I give it to Yu Li? Besides, if anyone should be fired, it should be her!"
Qi Xi sneered repeatedly: "Ability? What ability do you have? The ability to get in through connections? On this point, I have to admit that you are indeed very good at making the most of resources, if the Qi family were not the richest family in Beijing."
"Your enormous ambitions are completely out of reach, aren't they?"
Qi Jianyue was furious: "You!"
"Alright, all of you, shut up!"
Qi Siyue was in a real bind. In order to prevent the guests from continuing to watch the spectacle and expose the Qi family's shameful secrets, he had no choice but to hold back for the time being.
“The conditions you’ve proposed are all negotiable. Let’s get off the stage first, go to the room, sit down, and talk slowly.”
Qi Xi, of course, refused: "You bunch of shrewd businessmen, who doesn't know that you say one thing in front of people and another behind their backs? The conditions I just mentioned must be fulfilled here, in front of everyone."
“I’m only giving you three minutes to consider. If you don’t agree, I’ll send the video to the police.”
As she spoke, Qi Xi had already raised her phone.
This is the new phone that Yu Li bought for Qi Xi. The video we just saw was played through this phone connected to the big screen.
Qi Siyue readily agreed: "Okay, as long as you don't act impulsively, I will grant your request. Jianyue, go and apologize to Miss Yu."
Qi Jianyue refused, "Big brother, I didn't do anything wrong, it's Yu Li who's incompetent..."
"You won't even listen to me anymore?"
Before Qi Jianyue could say anything more, Qi Siyue lowered his voice and said, "Quick, attract everyone's attention."
In this respect, Qi Jianyue finally showed some intelligence, guessing what Qi Siyue wanted to do, and immediately changed her attitude.
"Okay, I admit I went a little overboard with some things. Yu Li, all you wanted to hear was my apology, right? Fine, I apologize to you."
As she spoke, Qi Jianyue walked towards Yu Li, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, drawing everyone's attention to her direction.
Just then, unnoticed by Qi Xi, a security guard silently approached.
By the time Zhou Heran noticed and spoke up to warn him, it was too late: "Qi Xi, watch your back!"
As Qi Xi turned her head, the security guard swiftly grabbed her arm, twisted her hand behind her back, and snatched her phone away.
As for Qi Xi, who had no fighting skills, she was completely powerless against the security guards, who were of such a disparity in strength between men and women, and was easily captured and subdued.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
Qi Xi struggled fiercely, but the security guard was quite strong, almost dislocating her hand.
Just a moment ago, Qi Jianyue was apologizing, but as soon as she saw Qi Xi being caught, she immediately put on a smug expression.
"Yu Li, I underestimated your ability to deceive people. You actually managed to fool Qi Xi so much that he didn't hesitate to cause a scene at the family recognition banquet for your sake."
"Unfortunately, you've miscalculated. This is the Qi family, not a country bumpkin like you who can just cause trouble as you please."
Qi Jianyue crossed her arms, like a proud peacock: "Now, it's your turn to kneel down and apologize to me for what you've done."
Yu Li knew that the Qi family was so cunning and treacherous that they would not compromise so easily.
Ultimately, they had made a mistake, but Yu Li was not one to be trifled with, so she picked up her phone.
“You don’t actually think that only Xixi’s phone has the video, do you? If you dare to touch us, this video will be released to the public immediately.”
Qi Siyue said, "Miss Yu, as Xiao Xi's friend, we in the Qi family are very happy to welcome you to the banquet today."
"But if you insist on causing trouble, then don't blame us for taking forceful measures. You don't really think that this video will make the Qi family compromise, do you?"
"It's just a spliced video. I can resolve it quickly by personally intervening. Do you really think you can drag the Qi family down with your little tricks?"
Qi Siyue chuckled, his tone arrogant and condescending: "I understand. In your limited understanding, you think that by joining forces with Xiao Xi to cause trouble at the banquet, the Qi family will compromise with you because they are afraid that things will escalate."
"But I regret to inform you that everything you've done at the banquet today will be for nothing."
As he spoke, Qi Siyue scanned everyone present, but his eyes held a clear threat.
"I wonder what all the guests present today have seen and heard?"
The guests who had been watching the commotion all looked away upon hearing this, and some immediately echoed Qi Siyue, flattering the Qi family.
"It's just a minor conflict, some trouble from the younger generation. How can we take it seriously? What do you all think?"
The others chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's just a small disagreement. It'll be fine once it's been talked out. We didn't hear or see anything."
Although those present knew perfectly well that these scandals must be true.
But which wealthy family doesn't have a few scandals?
Moreover, the guests present all had very close ties with the Qi family. As people with mutual interests, how could they possibly go against the Qi family because of Yu Li and Qi Xi's trouble-making?
Does the truth matter? In the face of self-interest, it's nothing but a joke.
Yu Li understood. "So everything you did just now was a ruse to mislead us, right?"
"Fine, you can shut up the guests here, but I wonder if you can also get the police and the law to listen to you."
When Yu Li dialed the police, she discovered that her phone had no signal.
At this moment, Qi Siyue smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, Miss Yu. As I just said, this is the Qi family home. You are very smart, but also very foolish. You chose the wrong place."
"The entire Qi family has just had all its signals cut off; neither telephone nor internet access is available to the outside world."
Qi Siyue, like a god in control of everything, condescended to extend his hand to Yu Li.
"But I won't make things too difficult for you. As long as Miss Yu hands over her phone and apologizes for what happened today, the Qi family can pretend nothing happened."
The compromise just now was to cut off the signal. It has to be said that Qi Siyue is indeed very smart, able to come up with an excellent countermeasure in such a short time.
"Want a phone? Sure, come and get it."
Qi Siyue was confident of victory and not afraid of what Yu Li might do next, so he walked up to Yu Li.
As he reached out, Yu Li moved with lightning speed, slapping Qi Siyue's face to the side.
"You really think you're invincible? Today, your auntie will teach you how to be a decent human being again!"
Qi Siyue's face darkened completely. "From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever dared to lay a hand on me. You are the first."
Qi Xi on stage got anxious: "Qi Siyue, you son of a bitch, dare to touch a single hair on Li Li's head!"
Just as Qi Siyue raised his hand, and the atmosphere became tense, a tall, slender figure appeared and grabbed Qi Siyue's wrist before anyone noticed.
At the same time, a clear yet cold voice rang in my ears: "Is that so? Who gave you such confidence?"
Upon hearing the voice, Qi Siyue turned around abruptly, and his aura instantly diminished upon seeing the person who had entered.
Even his tongue was tied in knots: "Little...Little Uncle?"
Without any expression, Qi Chenyan slapped Qi Siyue across the face.
