Chapter 97: 9.7 Billion "Mutual Exploitation"
"What does it have to do with me?" Qin Qing pretended not to know what Xi Jiyu was talking about and avoided his gaze.
Xi Jiyu tilted his head to look at him.
The last time Xin Jingli went to Qin Qing's restaurant, Tan Jingfan and Jingyun monitored Qin Qing. Although he was not present, the news that Qin Qing refused to be Xin Jingli's driver had already spread in their group chat.
"Dream or love? Driver Qin has never thought that one day he will have to choose between the two, right?" Xi Jiyu's tone was calm, but his eyes were sharp.
He pressed his eyelids, as if to coerce Qin Qing. After all, at this time, they should unite as a front and not let others take advantage of the fact that they rejected Xin Jingli to fan the flames around Xin Jingli and kick them out.
"Oh! Brother Qin Qing, you actually rejected my sister too!" Xi Yahe said in a raised voice, and looked at Xu Zhanyan again.
At that time, he was on the same side as Xu Zhanyan and really didn't know about this matter.
Later, Xu Zhanyan and Jingyun joined forces. If Jingyun did not tell Xu Zhanyan such crucial information, it would mean that their relationship was not that strong.
As expected, Xu Zhanyan frowned slightly, obviously he had never heard of it.
Siah He raised the corner of his mouth and said deliberately: “It seems that you guys were very exciting that day.”
It was wonderful in private, but after the alliance, Jingyun concealed the most critical and useful information. With such a strong sense of vigilance, I think Xu Zhanyan must have other ideas.
Siah wanted to create a gap between them.
He allowed everyone to form an alliance, superficially, but he also did not allow them to form an alliance that was too deep. After all, he and his brother Xi Jiyu would never fight to the point of bloodshed, and only they could become allies.
If others noticed this and attacked the Xi family, they would be overwhelmed. Therefore, they had to create a crisis of trust in them and prevent them from reaching a consensus at this time.
Although his brother Xi Jiyu was also being roasted on the fire at this time, it was exactly what he wanted.
If his brother was treated as an employee by his sister, he could pretend to go see his brother every day and play with his sister at the same time. Moreover, when Xi Jiyu became busy, all the conversations with her would be about business matters, which would not generate any sparks of love, and he would naturally suffer a loss.
"You two really don't know how to cherish. Look at Xu Zhanyan, he always agrees to your sister's requests, and now he knows the secret of your sister's villa." Xi Yahe pointed at Xu Zhanyan.
In this scene, Xi Jiyu and Qin Qing were at a disadvantage because of their refusal. At the same time, there was another person who had the upper hand because he always completed Xin Jingli's tasks, and even got the right to enter and exit the villa at will.
In an instant, everyone understood, and their eyes immediately became sharp. Although they appeared silent and indifferent, they were secretly calculating who to form an alliance with this time.
A game without any result ended, and everything seemed calm. After everyone went home, undercurrents officially began to surge.
Qin Qing returned to the convoy and thought about what Xi Jiyu had said, asking him to send people to secretly protect Xin Jingli.
He urgently called a meeting of the fleet and posted all of Xin Jingli's cars.
"This modified Ferrari is the key. Once Chen Hong is found, a four-sided protective shield will be formed around her immediately, and no dangerous vehicles will be allowed to approach." Qin Qing's face was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth rarely showed a smile.
The team members were confused.
"Brother Qin, isn't this car yours? How did it appear in Chenhong?"
"I gave it away, and now it has a new owner." Qin Qing replied.
Everyone knows that this car is used by the Qin family to protect Qin Qing, and Qin Qing treasures it very much.
When they heard that it was sent out, they all widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Give it away? This car is top-notch in both design and driving experience. Last time I wanted to borrow it from you and you told me to get lost. So you're just giving it away like that?!"
"That's right, Brother Qin. We've been with you for so many years, and we never dared to touch that car. We regularly updated its parts, cleaned it, and maintained it. You've taken care of it for so long, treating it like a treasure. How can you just give it away like that?"
Qin Qing was too lazy to explain and just asked them to do as they were told.
The team members were confused again.
"No, logically speaking, shouldn't this car be protecting us? It's a modified car with a reinforced frame. Compared to it, our car looks like a fragile skin, right?"
"What evil person has the car owner offended? Even the safety of this car cannot be guaranteed?"
Qin Qing didn't want to explain, nor did he want to expose Xin Jingli's identity. He originally wanted to protect Xin Jingli by himself.
The reason why he agreed to Xi Jiyu's proposal was because it conflicted with the competition. Qin Qing was already annoyed, and after being greeted with a barrage of questions, he became so angry that his face darkened, and his black and white pupils were filled with cruelty.
"You talk too much." He said through gritted teeth.
When the team members heard it, they immediately shut up and nodded obediently.
They had never seen Qin Qing so angry before, and they didn't ask any questions, just said a few words. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yingjun's face darkened. Not wanting to get into trouble, he quickly behaved himself.
Coincidentally, Qin Qing's phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Xi Jiyu.
How about we form an alliance?
Qin Qing sneered: [You kicked me out as a shield, and now you're extending an olive branch? Mr. Xi is indeed a seasoned figure in the business world.]
Xi Jiyu: [Dr. Qin has been racing for so many years, he should know one thing: all the leads during the race are meaningless. Only at the finish line is the winner.]
Xi Jiyu: [However, during the process, you can choose to cooperate and force other cars off the track.]
Qin Qing: [That's shameful.]
Xi Jiyu: [From the time we knew we were rivals in love until now, Qin the racer, is he brilliant?]
Qin Qing gritted his teeth.
It was shameful, like a dream. It was the first time he had someone he liked, and whenever he saw someone else getting close to her, he wanted that person to disappear from the world. Even if that person was his brother or childhood friend, he hated her so much that he was going crazy.
[Tell me, what do you want to do?] Qin Qing compromised. At least now, he and Xi Jiyu were indeed on the same page.
Xi Jiyu: [I just received a very important piece of information from Jingyun.]
Ten minutes ago.
Xi Jiyu is studying the cooperation that Zhang Shidao is about to enter into recently, and plans to officially start suppressing the Zhang family's business to buy time for Xin Jingli.
At the same time, he planned to make amends and accumulate a few partners. Once Xin Jingli's company was established, he would give them to her as an apology for not being able to work for her.
Just when it started, Jingyun sent a message.
[Mr. Xi, your coordination tonight was wonderful.]
Xi Jiyu frowned, [The boss actually came to me, it shouldn't be to give me a quick visit, right?]
Jingyun: [Smart, the situation is now clear. Xu Zhanyan is indeed the most difficult opponent.]
Although he and Xu Zhanyan both won the cooking competition tonight, Xin Jingli only assigned a task to Xu Zhanyan, while the task given to him was as simple as persuading Xi Jiyu.
Anyone can see that if they have a dispute, Xin Jingli will most likely side with Xu Zhanyan, because at this stage, Xu Zhanyan's skills are irreplaceable.
On the way to Chenhong No. 7, he formed an alliance with Xu Zhanyan on the surface, but secretly kept some plans in mind.
Originally, he didn't want to break the window paper so quickly, but just before leaving, Xi Yahe spoke too bluntly, hinting that he was hiding something from Xu Zhanyan, so Jingyun concluded that Xu Zhanyan was now more wary of him.
If he wanted to have a stable cooperation, he had to find another teammate to take the blame.
And this person is Xi Jiyu.
Jingyun: [As far as I know, Jingli knew that you were planning to purchase Xu Zhanyan's defense system. Jingli also mentioned to Xu Zhanyan that he wanted him to hand over the defense system to you for management.]
Xi Jiyu: [Me?]
Xi Jiyu was surprised and delighted. The dull study, which used to be filled with the scent of agarwood and lifeless, now had a bit more life in it because of his bright eyes.
He never thought that Xin Jingli would trust him so much.
It turned out that she really wanted him to manage the company, really recognized him, and even wanted to hand over the defense system related to her personal safety to him.
But……
Things don't always go as planned. He really can't go. If he goes, what will happen to the Xi family? Being laughed at by others is a small matter, but being looked down upon by others is a big deal for the Xi family.
Xi Jiyu pretended not to care and asked: [So?]
Jingyun: [So, your position in her heart is more important than Xu Zhanyan.]
Jingyun was deceiving Xi Jiyu. Technology in hand is truly useful. Even if the defense system is handed over, Xu Zhanyan still has the ability to take it back.
Moreover, the fact that the defense system has not been launched yet means that Xu Zhanyan has a veto power.
He had already rejected Xin Jingli. Under such circumstances, Xin Jingli still showed him love just now, which further proved that Xu Zhanyan had a high status.
Xi Jiyu didn't hear it. He was completely immersed in the excitement of being favored by Xin Jingli. The corners of his mouth, which had never smiled for years, were reluctant to fall.
Xi Jiyu: [What do you want to do?]
Upon hearing Xi Jiyu's intention to cooperate, Jingyun quickly typed: [You can use this as an excuse to tell Jingli that as long as Xu Zhanyan hands over the defense system, you will consider managing the company for her.]
Xi Jiyu: [Impossible. What if Xu Zhanyan really handed it over? I can't really manage the company for her.]
Jingyun: [Xu Zhanyan is not stupid. The only bargaining chip he has now is the defense system. After handing it over, he will be nothing.]
Jingyun: [As for you, at that time, whether you went or not was no longer important. You killed Xu Zhanyan, the person we thought Xin Jingli cared about the most. This shows that she cared about you the most. You only said you were considering it, but didn't say you had to go.]
Seeing Xi Jiyu reply with "Cooperate well", Jingyun curled the corners of his mouth.
If Xi Jiyu really said this to Xin Jingli, it would mean that while Xi Jiyu was rejecting Xin Jingli, he was still making demands on her. Xi Jiyu was digging a hole and burning himself.
The chain reaction will remind Xin Jingli of Xu Zhanyan. It was all because Xu Zhanyan did not hand over the defense system that Xi Jiyu rejected him.
After one move, regardless of whether Xu Zhanyan handed over the defense system or not, these two people basically ranked at the bottom in Xin Jingli's heart, and were even despised.
[Cooperate well.] Jingyun typed this line.
"Mr. Xi, you have always been calm and thoughtful. Just by praising her for caring about you, you got yourself into trouble. I'm sorry, you are really an eyesore." Jingyun picked up the same red wine that Xin Jingli had with him at dinner from the table, took a sip, and pretended that they were tasting it together.
On this side, after finishing the chat, Xi Jiyu's mouth drooped, and his ink-black pupils were filled with turbulence.
"You want me to die together with Xu Zhanyan, good brother. Unfortunately, you are too obvious."
At this point, Xi Jiyu opened Qin Qing’s WeChat.
