Chapter 249 - Conspiracy
During meals, Shi Feiye always picked up food for Qin Buzhu, which made Qin Buzhu very helpless. However, this was Shi Feiye's way of expressing love. Even though Qin Buzhu was helpless, he accepted it calmly:
"Don't keep staring at me. You should also eat well. You've been eating so many snacks recently. It seems you've lost weight, right?"
Shi Feiye paused with her chopsticks holding the food, and instantly felt short of breath. She admitted defeat and said, "Then I will eat less snacks from now on."
"Well, eating too many snacks is not good for your health. You should eat more fruits. Apart from drinking juice, Xiao Si and I basically eat all the fruits in the house." Qin Buzhu thought for a moment, "Do you think they taste bad?"
"No, no, it tastes great. I just ate too many snacks and can't eat fruit. Once I stop eating snacks, I'll definitely be able to eat fruit." Shi Feiye was now deeply moved and simply believed whatever Qin Bulu said.
"Okay, I'll ask Aunt Gu to buy some more later."
After dinner, Qin Bulu coaxed Shi Feiye to take a nap. After making sure that Shi Feiye was sleeping soundly, he got up and left. Before leaving, he told Aunt Gu:
"If the young lady is in a bad mood, try to divert her attention. If she's still not in a good mood, be sure to tell me immediately."
Aunt Gu was very helpless: "I don't think the young lady is in a bad mood. She is not as fragile as you think. She is just touched by your pampering. But if there is anything, I will contact you in time."
"Hmm..." Qin Buzhu finally left with peace of mind.
Arriving at the company, Qin Buzhu called Zou Lianxun and asked, "What's the progress of the investigation? Why did Yang go crazy for no reason?"
Zou Lianxun was looking at a lawsuit on his computer, and he couldn't suppress his anger. Yang's treatment of Shi Feiye was a slap in the face of him and his fourth brother. His fourth brother was already calculating how to slap him back, but he also had to give an answer to his second brother:
"Oh, second brother, you don't know him yet. He's been having brain problems for years. His old man recently got so excited because your holographic online game became so big and I started working properly again, so I complained about him. Plus, he was secretly planning to develop a game to prove himself to his old man, but you cut him off and slapped him in the face so hard. He's very upset and can't take it seriously."
Zou Lianxun muttered the news Sun Quanzhang had given him, analyzing it while curling his lips:
"But this guy is so uncouth, actually attacking a woman like my second sister-in-law. No wonder his father despises him for being useless. Right now, Weibo is controlled by friends named Yang. If we try to buy trending searches, we'll look completely incompetent. So, Fourth Brother plans to hack their page and modify the data to save us from being passive."
"Is the Yang family close to the young master of the Fan family?" Qin Buzhu tapped the table, thinking.
"I'm not sure if it's good or not, but it's true it's not that bad. The young master of the Fan family has been pursuing Yang's sister. It seems he hasn't been successful, but he has certainly given Yang a lot of advantages."
Zou Lianxun recalled: "I remember the last time I saw them bump into each other, they seemed quite close."
"The Fan family has more than just one adult man. Try to get in touch with them first. Some people who appear good may not be truly good. If this young master of the Fan family is really a romantic, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to get in touch with other members of the Fan family. The old man of the Fan family is too partial, and I don't think the others will necessarily be willing to accept the youngest one."
Qin Buzhu's tone was calm, but his words were chilling, and he reminded Zou Lianxun:
"Your fourth brother has been quite absent-minded lately. Don't slack off with him. Sometimes laziness only leads to more trouble later. If you can solve the problem once and for all, then a little trouble now doesn't matter."
Zou Lianxun's mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly: "Ahem, Second Brother, I get it, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will definitely have a good talk with Fourth Brother, and I will make sure that anyone who messes with Second Sister-in-law will learn a painful lesson."
The second brother used to be quite good-tempered. As long as others didn't provoke him too much, he generally wouldn't cut off their financial resources. Even if he did, he would usually leave them a glimmer of hope. He said that this made it easy to see a person's ability. Even if others turned the tables and wanted to retaliate, he wasn't afraid.
But now, because Second Sister-in-law was bullied, he was going to cut off Young Master Fan's financial resources, and he was afraid that the other party would be upset and uncomfortable, and he wanted to let the other members of the Fan family tear Young Master Fan apart. Tsk tsk, I just hope Young Master Fan knows what's going on, otherwise once Second Brother gets angry, most people can't stand it.
Zou Lianxun thought about how Qin Buzhu had lost his temper last time because of Grandpa Qin, and he couldn't help but shudder. It was truly terrifying when a good-tempered person got angry. Look at what the Qin family is going through now; they're just a bunch of unlucky people who got caught up in the chaos.
After hanging up the phone, Zou Lianxun quickly contacted Sun Quanzhang.
Fourth Brother has been really absent-minded lately, probably because of that Zhang Kezhi. If Fourth Brother doesn't handle Second Sister-in-law's affairs more efficiently and decisively, Second Brother will probably drag Fourth Brother back for more training.
Zou Lianxun pouted and shook his head, expressing immense sympathy for Sun Quanzhang. It wasn't easy to be unable to pursue the girl he liked, and even the hope of pursuing her was extremely slim.
After Qin Buzhu gave the instructions, he wasn't idle either. He called the old man of the Fan family. It wasn't anything special, just asking about the old man's health. When the old man praised his business, he also expressed the importance of marrying a good woman.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Buzhu turned to deal with his own company's affairs and waited for further news.
After Mr. Fan hung up the phone, he fell into deep thought. Mrs. Fan looked at her old man and was puzzled:
"What's wrong? From what you just said, didn't the younger generation greet you? Why do you look like you've stepped on dog shit after hanging up the phone?"
What do you mean by stepping on dog shit? Mr. Fan glared at his wife and said unhappily:
"It's been a while since our family changed its name. You should at least be more polite when you speak. Also, what do you mean by 'younger generation'? That's not just any younger generation. That's the business genius of the Qin family."
As he spoke, he seemed to be very emotional: "How can there be such a big difference between people? I believe that I am no less capable than Old Man Qin, but when it comes to educating children and grandchildren, I really can't compare. Our family's Xiao Rui is a little better, but when compared with the kid from the Qin family, it seems that it's not the same."
"Hey, how can you talk like that? What's wrong with our Xiaorui? Even if he's not as good as the Qin family kid, at least he's not as miserable as the Qin family kid who married a joke. Besides, Xiaorui is so obedient and filial."
Old Mrs. Fan glared at her old man, not happy that he was talking about her precious grandson.
"Oh, I think it's because of you that our family has become so useless. You've spoiled them all. And what about marrying a joke? No matter what the Qin family kid does, his wife didn't leave him when he lost power. I heard she even worked hard to earn money to support him. Just for this reason, don't say such nonsense in the future."
Mr. Fan is upset when he talks about it:
"Xiao Rui follows the Yang family girl around every day, and I don't think she even smiles at him. The Yang family is such a rich family, and they have to be worshipped and supported by our successor, right? Besides, judging from the way that girl is full of scheming, if something really happens to our family, the Yang family can't be relied upon at all."
The more he talked, the angrier he got. Mr. Fan told his wife:
"Go talk to Xiao Rui later and ask him to find some other girls. Don't act like he's never seen a young girl before. The girls from the Yang family are not stunning beauties. How much convenience has he given to the Yang family by using our business? Tell him that if the Yang family doesn't give him something substantial in the future, he should stop giving our things away. Our family is not a charity, and even if we were to do charity, it wouldn't be the Yang family's turn."
After saying that, Mr. Fan frowned and muttered to himself: "The Qin family kid's phone call is so confusing. What does it mean? I don't know him well."
Mrs. Fan was furious at what her old man said. She said angrily:
"Why is there any reason? Maybe it's because of his wife who is not presentable. Humph, you still say that it's not good for our Xiao Rui to like the girl from the Yang family. No matter how bad the girl from the Yang family is, she wouldn't do such a shameful thing just to play a passerby role in a TV series. It even became a hot search, afraid that everyone would know about it."
The old lady curled her lips and said angrily:
"When you're looking for a wife, you have to find one from a wealthy family. At the very least, you can't find one from a small family like this. It's really shameful. I think that kid from the Qin family must have had bad luck for several lifetimes to have met this wife. Don't be like that old man Qin, who is trying to trick his grandson to death. When I saw the news, I felt bad for the kid from the Qin family. He's really shameless and has lost all his face."
"What news?" Mr. Fan was confused.
He had been cultivating his character and rarely checked Weibo recently. Furthermore, Fan Rui had done a good job managing Weibo since taking over. Besides occasionally providing some convenience to the Yang family, there was nothing else to criticize. So, he let it go without worrying about it. He was completely unaware of today's news.
"Well, you can see for yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you. If you dare to find a woman like that for Xiao Rui, I will be a wicked grandmother and torment her in various ways every day to prevent her from embarrassing our family."
Mrs. Fan took out her phone, pulled up Weibo, and threw it to Mr. Fan to read.
Mr. Fan inexplicably opened the trending search and immediately saw the first one on the trending search list. He clicked on it and finally understood why Qin Buzhu called him.
Scrolling down to read the comments, I was so angry I almost fainted:
"Give me my phone, I want to call Xiaorui"
