Chapter 145 Shi Yuanxing is nothing but a piece of trash.
Monday.
President's Office of Shen's Group.
Chen He is giving a report:
"...President Jing of Shengrui Group had dinner with Shi Yuanxing last Friday, but it wasn't a business meeting."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen, who was sitting at his desk, frowned. "What do you mean by 'not a business meeting'?"
Knowing that the president of Shengrui had come to Jiangcheng, Shen Yichen tried several times to invite him to dinner, but was rejected each time.
Meanwhile, Shi Yuanxing managed to meet someone, and it wasn't a business meeting.
"Yes, there were four people having dinner that night, besides President Jing and Shi Yuanxing."
As Chen He spoke, he secretly glanced at the person in front of the desk before continuing, "There are two other ladies, one of whom... is Miss Qin."
Upon hearing Qin Shuzhi's name, Shen Yichen's cold and stern face suddenly changed. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Who is the other one?"
"There's another one. After a thorough investigation, it turns out she's President Jing's wife."
Shen Yichen was somewhat surprised, "Jing Muchi's wife?"
"Yes, and it seems that President Jing's recent appearance in Jiangcheng was specifically for his wife."
"I investigated Mr. Jing's wife's information. Her name is Sang Ning. She is currently a teacher at the same school as Ms. Qin. Also, she and Ms. Qin have quite a history. They were exchange students in Hong Kong together during their university years."
Former classmates, now colleagues, so...
Shen Yichen's eyes held a hint of sarcasm. "Did Shi Yuanxing get ahead of the curve and get in touch with Jing Muchi through Xiao Zhi's connections?"
Chen He didn't know how to respond to that, so he could only continue, "Just yesterday, Miss Qin went shopping with Mrs. Jing at the mall. They seemed to have a good relationship."
Or perhaps... Miss Qin became close to Mrs. Jing for her husband's sake.
But he dared not voice these speculations, for fear of provoking the master before him.
However, even if he didn't say it, Shen Yichen would still fill in the blanks in his mind. He even thought that Qin Shuzhi's approach to Sang Ning was at Shi Yuanxing's behest, with the aim of helping him get closer to Jing Muchi.
Hmph, he needs a woman to pave the way for him to do a project. Shi Yuanxing is nothing but a good-for-nothing.
Thinking of this, Shen Yichen felt a secret joy rising in his heart, in addition to his disdain for Shi Yuanxing.
Xiao Zhi will eventually discover that a man who only knows how to use his family wealth to put on airs and charm women is no good and not worth her affection.
"President Shen, the Shi Group has already taken action to approach Shengrui. What should we do next?" Chen He asked.
Although the Shen family is a leader in the field of industrial park construction, if their opponent is the powerful Shi family group, and the latter has already established a personal relationship with Jing Muchi, then the Shen family will have an even greater difficulty in competing for Shengrui's project.
Shen Yichen scoffed disdainfully, "Shi Yuanxing's trick for grabbing projects is to use women to build connections. I don't even look down on that."
"Have the relevant project personnel come over for a meeting in five minutes."
Chen He: "Okay."

Around noon.
Shi Qingman was sitting on the bed with her head down, lost in thought, when the door to the ward was pushed open. She assumed it was her assistant.
"I told you, I don't want to eat right now..."
As Shi Qingman spoke, she looked up, but her voice stopped abruptly when her gaze fell on Qiao Wenbo standing in front of the door.
He hadn't contacted her since leaving the mall last night, and she hadn't told him about being hospitalized. Now, seeing him suddenly appear before her, and remembering their argument yesterday, Shi Qingman's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"I'm sorry, Manman."
Qiao Wenbo quickly came over, sat on the edge of the bed, and hugged her. "I'm sorry, I was wrong last night. I shouldn't have left you alone..."
Shi Qingman leaned against his chest, listening to his repeated apologies. Her heart ached, and tears welled up instantly.
Seeing her tears, Qiao Wenbo grabbed one of her hands and slapped it against his own face. "If you're not satisfied, then hit yourself. Don't cry, okay?"
With a "smack," the force of the blow to his face was quite strong. Shi Qingman was startled by his action and quickly withdrew her hand, sobbing.
"No, it wasn't you, it was me. I was too willful."
She pulled away from his embrace, sat up straight, and choked out, "I'm sorry, Wenbo, I shouldn't have said those things yesterday, but believe me, I've never felt that you're not good enough for me, and I've never wanted to not marry you..."
"I know."
Qiao Wenbo gently interrupted her, raising his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. "It was my fault, I was talking nonsense. I know you didn't think that way. Last night... I was rude."
Seeing that he was no longer angry, Shi Qingman's heart, which had been clenched all night, slowly relaxed.
She thought about it all night and made up her mind. Since he wanted this child and a family, as his fiancée, she should fulfill his long-cherished wish.
"Wenbo, I..."
Shi Qingman composed herself and was about to tell him about it when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Thinking it was a doctor or nurse, Qiao Wenbo stood up from the bedside and said, "Please come in."
The next second, the door opened.
Qin Shuzhi walked in carrying a thermos. After calling out "Sister," she noticed Qiao Wenbo standing to the side. She was somewhat surprised, yet not entirely.
Despite already knowing his true face beneath the mask of hypocrisy, Qin Shuzhi still greeted him as usual.
"President Qiao."
When Shi Qingman saw her, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Why are you here?"
"I came to see you and asked the aunt to make some soup for you."
Qin Shuzhi smiled and stepped forward, placing the thermos in her hand on the bedside table.
Shi Qingman: "I don't need you to come see me."
"Manman, your sister-in-law meant well."
Qiao Wenbo, as always, maintained a kind and benevolent demeanor. After speaking softly to Shi Qingman, he turned to look at Qin Shuzhi with gratitude:
"I heard from Xiao Zhang that you brought Manman to the hospital yesterday. Thank you."
Xiao Zhang is Shi Qingman's personal assistant.
Qin Shuzhi smiled and said, "My sister and I are family. Family members help and care for each other, so there's no need for thanks."
Upon hearing this, Shi Qingman couldn't help but look up at her, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.
When Qin Shuzhi met her gaze, she smiled sincerely, "Sister, my aunt's soup is delicious, would you like to try some?"
As she spoke, she reached out to unscrew the lid of the thermos, but Shi Qingman snapped out of her reverie and said, "No need, I... don't want to eat anything right now."
Although she refused, her tone wasn't as cold as before, and Qin Shuzhi's smile deepened.
"Okay, then we'll drink later."
Just then, there were two more light knocks from the other side of the door.
The doctor came in this time.
Seeing the doctor holding several test reports, Qiao Wenbo quickly asked,
"Doctor, how is my fiancée?"
The doctor glanced at him and Shi Qingman, his expression slightly grave. "We gave Ms. Shi a comprehensive examination yesterday and found that she is physically weak and has a poor immune system. Considering Ms. Shi's age and other factors, we believe that Ms. Shi's current physical condition is not suitable for continuing her pregnancy."
"What did you say?"
Qiao Wenbo was struck dumb, his pupils suddenly dilated.
"I said that for the sake of the pregnant woman's health, our advice is to terminate the pregnancy."
Shi Qingman's mind went blank as well, and she murmured, "How could this be..."
The doctor assumed she was asking about a physical reason, and said...
"Poor health can also be caused by factors such as long-term alcohol consumption, staying up late, and excessive mental stress. If you want both the pregnant woman and the baby to be healthy, you must pay attention to conditioning your body and maintaining a regular schedule during the preconception period..."
