Gu Zhou raised an eyebrow in doubt, "Why go to the Qi family?"
"I have something to do. Don't want to talk to you?" Fu Lin threw the question back, tapping his fingers twice on the desk. "The Qi family has a special status in Beijing. As an outsider, you should visit them."
Gu Zhou didn't believe it at all. "Just tell me what you want to do. Don't force me to tell your fortune."
Fu Lin was silent for a moment, but still told the truth, "There is a power struggle within the Fu family."
"You want to marry into the Qi family?" Gu Zhou turned around and sat on the desk. "You might be beaten to death by the Second Master. The four girls in the Qi family are not yet old enough."
Fu Lin raised his eyes and said, "I don't have the ability to be so wishful thinking."
"Then why are you visiting them? Are you trying to make yourself known so that the Fu family will think you're familiar with the Qi family? Jing City and Pengcheng are thousands of miles apart. Even if you have a connection with the Qi family, it won't affect the power struggle within the Fu family. You might as well just marry into the family like me."
Fu Lin looked at Gu Zhou speechlessly, "I beg you to be normal."
Gu Zhou raised his hand, "Okay! I'll be normal and visit the Qi family. I already owe you a favor for the Shen family banquet. If you want to go, you can go directly. You don't need to go through me at all."
Fu Lin didn't think he had done anything. He was not a fool. Gu Zhou suddenly approached him that day to talk to Shen Mingzhu and just wanted to make him a witness.
Fu Lin said, "So I want to make a deal with the Qi family to expand the market in Pengcheng."
"Okay, I'll tell my brother and see if he's interested."
As Gu Zhou spoke, he took out his phone. It rang a few times before the call was connected, and Qi Shuo's impatient voice came through.
"You'd better be busy."
This is how much anger he is holding back. Gu Zhou secretly clicked his tongue and said seriously, "It really is serious business. Fu Lin wants to discuss business with the Qi family."
"Not interested, get lost!"
The phone was hung up, and Gu Zhou muttered, "I'm really angry."
"I think you should find out about his situation at the company before you call."
Gu Zhou looked at Fu Lin in confusion, "What can we do? He is now the legitimate head of the family, how can anyone question him?"
"Because of his legitimate status, more people are trying to curry favor with him. Since the start of the project, companies big and small in Beijing have been trying their best to see Qi Shuo, inviting him to banquets and dinners, and also dealing with company affairs. The Yuan family's mess alone is enough to keep him busy."
Gu Zhou almost forgot about this. He turned the phone in his hand and said, "I'll go check what's going on later."
"I advise you not to."
"What happened again?"
"He's currently being pestered by two women and is completely consumed by them. They often appear in the company."
Gu Zhou was speechless again. He turned around and whistled at Qi Jing who was sitting on the sofa. When Qi Jing raised his head, he immediately said, "We seem to have forgotten about the trouble with Big Brother."
Qi Jing had truly forgotten. He slapped his forehead and said, "If I go now, will he beat me to death? Or should I just ignore it?"
"We have to go and take a look. The longer we wait, the more miserable the death will be. They are all the heads of the family. Now I feel a little sympathetic to my eldest brother."
Qi Jing tilted his head. "But aren't Qi Xiaonian and Qi Xiaoyou both in the company? Why is he so angry?"
"There's a difference between the head of a family and a young master. Besides, the third and fourth brothers are mainly in charge of the two branches. Naturally, they can't take care of the eldest brother when they are busy."
Qi Jing curled his lips and said, "That's Qi Xiaomo's fault. It has nothing to do with me."
Gu Zhou didn't want to make any comments, he simply clicked on Qi Mo's account and sent a message.
The reply came quickly, just three words: Arrived.
Gu Zhou clicked his tongue, said a few words to Fu Lin, and then took Qi Jing to Qi's company.
After climbing up dozens of floors again, Gu Zhou was not as out of breath, but he was really tired.
Entering the office area, the atmosphere was extremely heavy and Qi Jing felt a deep resentment.
He tugged at Gu Zhou's sleeve, "Why is there such a strong yin energy?"
"I guess it was all caused by Big Brother."
Gu Zhou couldn't help but retreat a little. He held Qi Jing's hand tightly and went to Qi Shuo's office. He knocked on the door and turned it open. Gu Zhou pushed it open a little and stuck his head out to take a look.
Qi Shuo sat at his desk, processing documents with a cold face. Sun Wanying was beside him, holding a stack of documents in her hands, but her mind drifted to the Atlantic Ocean.
Sun Wanying muttered to the system, "Am I considered a vicious female supporting role now? Why did I frame Miss Yuan? And why don't I think Qi Shuo likes Miss Yuan?"
[Host, please complete the coffee-pouring task as soon as possible. The remaining time for the task is ten minutes.]
Sun Wanying was discouraged and her eyes wandered to Qi Shuo. She knew that Qi Shuo could hear the conversation between her and the system, which gave her even more headaches.
Throwing coffee on Yuan Xiang in front of Qi Shuo, does she really not want to do this stupid task at all?
Gu Zhou also heard it and looked at Qi Shuo with great sympathy. Stared at by Qi Shuo's cold gaze, he quickly pushed open the door and walked in with Qi Jing.
On the sofa in the office, Yuan Xiang was typing on her cell phone. No one knew what she was doing, and her expression was dull and she showed almost no emotion.
Sun Wanying had seen them before and immediately greeted them in a friendly manner, "Uncle, Master Gu."
Gu Zhou hummed and said to Sun Wanying, "You guys go out first, let's talk about something."
Sun Wanying nodded in agreement, gave up the task voluntarily, and left the office with Yuan Xiang.
Gu Zhou pushed Qi Jing to sit down opposite Qi Shuo. A large desk separated the three of them. Gu Zhou smiled awkwardly, "Are you hiring someone as an assistant?"
Qi Shuo was in a state of headache as he moved the documents in front of him. He stared at Qi Jing and said in a bad tone, "Uncle finally has time to care about my life or death."
Qi Jing looked away guiltily, "Well, I've been pretty busy lately."
"Are you busy with love, or busy helping the second brother chase men?" Qi Shuo said sarcastically. He was in charge of the entire company, and he also owed a debt of gratitude to the Yuan family.
Qi Mo has not appeared in the company since the start of work after the Chinese New Year. He has to handle all the matters and attend all the social events outside. He is the one who is in charge. He feels very unbalanced now.
Qi Jing lowered his head after being told that. Did he really forget? When he went to Chuzhou, the company had not started work yet. After he came back, he was thinking about all those messy things again. Qi Shuo was so busy that he hardly ever came home. He had long forgotten about the troubles Qi Shuo was facing.
Gu Zhou was also quite embarrassed. He first collected the talisman paper and then studied the resentment in the crystal stone. He also forgot about the problem with Qi Shuo.
Gu Zhou smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Aren't we here yet? First, let's talk about the situation. Why are the system tasks becoming more and more outrageous?"
Qi Shuo rubbed his brows tiredly, "It's been like this since Sun Wanying ran into Yuan Xiang at the company."
"For example, what did they do specifically?" Gu Zhou was really curious. He had just heard the system instruct Sun Wanying to pour coffee on Yuan Xiang.
Qi Shuo replied, "She said that Yuan Xiang pushed her when she sprained her ankle, and she deliberately made intimate gestures with me in front of Yuan Xiang."
"What if they weren't together? There wouldn't be so many troublesome tasks."
