"Although the eldest brother's family left in a rather disheveled state, I am not an ungrateful person. Qi Lin did make some contributions to the company, and I have already given him the appropriate compensation."
Although it wasn't much, it was enough for them to eat, and this was the biggest concession she made for the sake of family ties.
Otherwise, he wouldn't give them a single one.
"Qiqi, if we were the ones who made a big mistake, would you do the same?"
The eldest brother's family left in such a hurry and with such ruthless methods that they hadn't expected it. Things happened too suddenly, and no one was prepared before it had developed into this state.
"meeting."
Qi Jiu answered without hesitation. "I came all this way for the Delin family, isn't it? If you're just going to let them go like this, what's the point of me coming here? You might as well just fend for yourselves."
With Qi Jiu's help, the Delin family's international standing rose sharply. Although it did not return to its previous peak, it was not far behind now.
"Ah Lin, isn't it too quiet?"
Under a sky full of stars, Qi Jiu leaned against the window, gazing at the starlight outside, her brows furrowed.
The man looked at her, subconsciously raised his hand, and gently smoothed her furrowed brows with his thumb, his face calm. "It's gotten a little quiet."
The reason why the Delin family was able to rise so rapidly can be traced back to the departure of Qi Lin's family.
It's been quite some time since Qi Lin and his family left.
After that, Zero was like a dead man, making no move and never interfering, which allowed the Delin family to make rapid progress.
"Is a storm coming?" The quieter it is, the more violent the storm will be, right?
Qi Lin's entire family disappeared without a trace after that incident, which is completely strange.
"It's alright." Qi Silin patted the girl's head. "I'm here. If anything goes wrong, I'm here for you. But I believe they don't have that ability."
Qi Jiu is still overwhelmed with work every day, and things have changed a lot in all aspects of the Delin family.
The current Delin family has undergone a complete transformation compared to the Delin family of the past.
"Qiqi!"
Bai Feng was dressed in a black suit. After so much time, he seemed to have gotten used to this attire, and he was becoming more and more skilled at his job as a secretary.
"The contract you were looking at earlier was stolen." He looked at the girl in front of his desk with a serious expression, flipping through the documents in his hand, and shook his head.
Qi Jiu paused, her gaze fixed on him, unsure if he'd been robbed. "You were robbed?"
Bai Feng nodded. "Yes, it's not just this one contract. Most of the company's collaborations have been snatched away, and... they're all from the same company."
Seeing his unpleasant expression, Qi Jiu seemed to realize something. "Zero?"
"Yes, they are willing to pay higher prices, so many partners have chosen them. Zero is now willing to pay a lot more to secure their partnership."
"So, that's where they were waiting," Qi Jiu murmured.
In fact, she and Qi Silin had long anticipated that Zero would retaliate, and they were mentally prepared, so they were not frightened.
"Don't worry about it."
Bai Feng, holding the document, was about to nod when he froze. "Don't care? So we're just handing over this entire collaboration?"
Isn't this just being used as a tool by others?
"Well, let them have it if they want it. Anyway, these contracts aren't the best; they're just there for show." They didn't plan to choose any of these contracts afterward.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Feng froze, staring at Qi Jiu's profile, unsure of what to say.
"You planned all of this?"
The girl looked up, her face somewhat innocent. "What do you mean by scheming? I'm just taking precautions. Besides, having several partners is a backup plan. Whether we choose one or not, who can say for sure?"
The current Delin family is no longer the Delin family struggling on its deathbed, and it still has options.
Bai Feng looked at the company and information on the document in his hand and suddenly smiled.
He finally understood what it was about Qi Jiu that attracted him. What kind of mind did she have to think of all this beforehand?
"I see."
After leaving the office, Bai Feng looked at the documents in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Secretary Bai, what did President Qi say about this collaboration? Do we need to prepare a separate contract? And how much sincerity should we show? Quite a few contracts have been snatched away, we..."
The company's senior executives suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Bai Feng looked at his nervous yet expectant eyes, his row of white teeth flashing. "No need, Qi Qi doesn't care about these contracts. There are bigger collaborations waiting for us."
He patted the man on the shoulder and then left.
Meanwhile, in a secluded manor, the environment was very dark.
The atmosphere in the study of the manor was tense. The man on the sofa was dressed in a suit and waistcoat, looking quite respectable. "What did you say? She took all these contracts and didn't even react?"
As if incredulous, the man's tone rose considerably, and he even asked to confirm it again.
"They've snatched up so many collaborations, and there's not a single reaction?"
Is this a normal person?
"Yes, yes," the man opposite replied timidly, looking at the person in the main seat before immediately lowering his head.
If their master were to show such an expression, it would probably be...
"Useless! How did you choose these contracts? She doesn't care about a single one of them? Just how bad are the contracts you picked?!"
"Smack!"
The glass shattered on the ground, shards flying everywhere.
"Then let me ask you, have you found that person's identity?"
The person wearing a vest crossed his legs and scanned everyone in the room with his eyes.
"Master, our people have investigated many times and have figured it out. That person is the island lord of Death Gate Island and the boyfriend of the Delin family heir."
Actually, this matter is not difficult to find out, because when the master of Death Gate Island first appeared, it was in the company, and so many people saw it. He did not deliberately hide it, so his identity was exposed quite naturally.
"Death Gate Island?"
The man was taken aback, his brows furrowing. "Why is the island lord of Death Gate Island here? What's the relationship between the two of them...?"
The power of Death Gate Island is not something they can afford to offend right now, but the Delin family must be eliminated, otherwise they will become the biggest hidden danger in the future.
"That's all for now. You guys keep a close eye on Delin and figure out what they care about as soon as possible. Especially the cooperation—you have to snatch it!"
The Delin family cannot prosper now, and it will remain so in the future.
