Chapter 101

Many wealthy families are happy to see Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Yanci compete with each other, as healthy competition is good for the company's development. However, Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Yanci are already incompatible. When Zhou's father passes away, the two will inevitably separate, and the Zhou family's prosperity will no longer exist.

Who would have thought that these two people would show up in the same car, and they seemed to have a good relationship?

No, no, no. When Yan Xi crawled out of Lincoln, Zhou Yanci gentlemanly reached out to help her. But when Zhou Qingyu crawled out of Lincoln, Zhou Yanci remained indifferent.

The relationship between the two must not be that good!

It just looks harmonious at first glance!

Zhou Qingyu didn't bother to care about the eyes of people around her. When Pei Hanli walked up to her, Zhou Qingyu took his arm and went to the villa in the manor to receive her gift.

Yan Xi held Zhou Yanci's arm. This time, Zhou Yanci did not go to discuss the project with his business partners. Instead, he took Yan Xi for a stroll aimlessly.

From time to time, there were all kinds of scrutinizing, curious and jealous looks coming from all around.

Yan Xi asked Zhou Yanci, "You don't have to socialize?"

Zhou Yan spoke neither fast nor slow. When Yan Xi talked to him, he deliberately lowered his head, with his head very close to Yan Xi's.

"Wait a minute, no rush."

The distance was too ambiguous, Yan Xi could feel Zhou Yanci's body temperature.

Zhou Yanci also deliberately got so close to her.

How can it be considered public without a declaration of sovereignty?

But even so, there are still beautiful daughters of wealthy families who come up to chat with him.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm Xu Qingqian, the daughter of the Xu family. Can we chat?"

The girl was not shy and introduced herself to Zhou Yanci in a very confident manner. While she was talking, she looked at Yan Xi. Her eyes were not malicious, but they were not friendly either. It was like looking at a commodity and estimating its price.

Zhou Yanci said coldly, "Not interested."

Xu Qingqian smiled slightly, "Boss Zhou, we are all in the same circle, let's not beat around the bush. I saw Miss Zhou and Master Pei show up together, so I think she has the support of the Pei family, which gives her an extra bargaining chip in her competition with you."

"I know that Madam Meng wants to bring you and Lu Wanning together, but given Lu Wanning's personality, even if she has no feelings for you, she would never tolerate your little lover."

As he spoke, Xu Qingqian glanced at Yan Xi.

"But I can. We cooperate in business, and in life, as long as you give me face in this occasion, I don't mind how you play in private."

Xu Qingqian's words were quite generous, and she was almost telling Zhou Yanci explicitly that if you marry me and we can do business together, I don't mind you having a mistress.

Yan Xi was amazed. Although she used to be in the circle of wealthy families, there were not many people like Xu Qingqian who were so bold in revealing their inner thoughts.

Zhou Yanci had a sullen face. He was about to refute Xu Qingqian when suddenly, a goose-yellow figure emerged and forcefully inserted himself between the three of them!

As soon as Fang Shuyao arrived at the birthday party, she saw Xu Qingqian and Zhou Yanci showing off their friendship, and she almost exploded with anger.

She rushed in front of the three people and pointed at Xu Qingqian angrily, "Xu Qingqian, have some shame! Do you think everyone is like you, being the Queen of the Sea and still feeling complacent? Zhou Yanci is not that kind of person!"

Zhou Yanci nodded silently after hearing this.

That's right, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Not far away, Fang Ruoran saw Fang Shuyao rushing forward regardless of everything, and felt very relieved.

I didn't expect Fang Shuyao, who is usually quiet, to be very brave in love! If she can handle Zhou Yanci, the Fang family will definitely be even more powerful in the future!

The next second, Fang Shuyao turned around and scolded Zhou Yanci rudely.

"Zhou Yanci, you are such a fool! Xixi has been bullied so much! And you are still indifferent? Shouldn't you hug Xixi and kiss her madly at this time to let everyone know that you can only have her?"

Yan Xi:?

Zhou Yanci hesitated for less than half a second before nodding, "You make sense."

Yan Xi: ????? ????? ?????

What the hell is going on!

Fang Shuyao's heart blossomed, ah, so sweet! It's so sweet to see the two of them standing together~~

Xu Qingqian's face darkened and her fingers unconsciously grasped the hem of her dress.

"Fang Shuyao, what do you mean? Intercept and make peace?"

It was clearly she who approached Zhou Yanci first!

"Stop it!" Fang Shuyao put her hands on her hips, "Are you blind? Can't you see they are a couple? Are you so eager to be a mistress? That's right, your father has a bunch of women outside, and your mother has a lot of gigolos outside, so you are the same! Have some shame, okay? You are talking so high-soundingly, but what you are doing is a mistress!"

"you--!"

This time it was Xu Qingqian's turn to be furious.

It would be good if Zhou Yanci responded to her and agreed to her proposal. But Zhou Yanci remained indifferent and didn't even look at her. His eyes were all on Yan Xi.

Xu Qingqian felt embarrassed and like a joke, so he stamped his feet and turned away.

Looking back, Fang Shuyao saw Zhou Yanci holding Yan Xi's hand, with their fingers tightly clasped.

Ahhh! I got it again~~

Zhou Yanci looked at Fang Shuyao, "Are you Mr. Fang's little daughter?"

"I am your CP fan leader~"

Fang Shuyao's eyes sparkled, "I watched all the live and recorded episodes of "Travel" without missing a single one! I was the one who founded your CP super topic~"

Zhou Yanci was a little confused about the term "CP fans". But Yan Xi understood it all at once, she knew that Zhou Yanci and he had CP fans.

Not to mention her and Zhou Yanci, she and Lu Beiyu both have CP fans. The fans are sometimes weird. Even if the two of them are not in the same frame, they can still ship them.

"Just keep going, leave me alone!"

Fang Shuyao immediately retreated to Fang Ruoran's side.

Fans and self-promotion should keep their distance! She feels happy and happy just watching them loving each other~

Fang Ruoran on the side was very disappointed. "What CP fan leader? I brought you here to introduce you to Zhou Yanci! What are you doing!"

Fang Shuyao shrugged, "What's the point of falling in love? Of course it's sweeter to watch other people fall in love!"

——

After being interrupted by Fang Shuyao, the rich girls who wanted to chat up Zhou Yanci all backed off. After all, they were born into rich families, and those girls had to keep their dignity, so they didn't want to be scolded as a mistress in public like Xu Qingqian.

Zhou Yanci had no social engagements, he just accompanied Yan Xi. Yan Xi, on the other hand, met a few film and television investors and exchanged business cards to get to know each other.

——Xingyao will have many projects next year. Although investing alone can account for the majority of the profits, the risk is too high. Investing in the entertainment industry has a high degree of uncertainty, so it is better to spread the risk evenly.

While discussing the project with several investors, Yan Xi saw Lu Wanning not far away.

She hasn't seen anyone from the Lu family for some time.

Last time, he secretly replaced Aunt Zhang's blood sample with his own blood sample, which led to the Lu family detecting a blood-related DNA, but did not find the real daughter, so the Lu family stopped for a while.

Yan Xi has never approached the Lu family to show their cards, because the story is not over yet.

And now, the story is over and everyone is free.

Yan Xi looked at Lu Wanning and unconsciously tightened the champagne glass in her hand.

Unlike other rich girls, Lu Wanning did not wear a dress. She wore a smart white

Although the suit is somewhat neutral, the long wavy hair is still charming.

She was chatting about projects with a group of business tycoons and was the center of the crowd, not at all inferior.

Yan Xi wanted to talk to Lu Wan Ning, but she was a little hesitant.

[Host, are you worried about re-verifying your DNA and whether the result will be okay?] The system asked Yan Xi beside her.

Yan Xi sighed, "It's normal if it doesn't matter."

What she said to Lu Beiyu by the swimming pool was not all prevarication. It was so difficult to find blood relatives among the billions of people in the world.

[But no matter what, you have to try it to know! ]

The system encouraged Yan Xi, but Yan Xi didn't know how to start. After all, she had played a trick on the Lu family to fight against the plot, which made the Lu family happy and then disappointed. If she failed again this time, she didn't know how to explain it.

Zhou Yanci stood beside Yan Xi, silent.

After a while, Lu Wanning turned around and saw Yan Xi and Zhou Yanci.

With a faint smile on her face, she took the initiative to step forward and greet the two of them.

"Mr. Zhou," she first glanced at Zhou Yanci, then looked at Yan Xi, "Ms. Yan, we meet again."

——Although Yan Xi has no relationship with the Lu family, Lu Wanning still feels close to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi also nodded politely, "Mr. Lu, what a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence," Lu Wanning smiled, "I came here specially."

Yan Xi was startled and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

Immediately, Lu Wanning looked at Zhou Yanci, "Mr. Zhou's time is very difficult to arrange. I have made several appointments with your assistant, but he said you were busy. So I can only come to the eldest lady's birthday party to find you. I have an AI-related project in hand, and I want to know if Mr. Zhou is interested?"

When Zhou Yanci was studying, he and Pei Hanli invested in many Internet companies. In the past two years, they were also the first investors in AI projects. It is not surprising that Lu Wanning came to him to seek cooperation.

The two of them then went to talk about cooperation. This part involved commercial secrets, so Yan Xi automatically stepped aside.

As soon as the two of them left, Fang Shuyao came up immediately.

"Xixi, why did you let Zhou Yanci and Lu Wanning go? Don't you know they were almost together?"

Meng Yingrong once spread the news that the only daughter-in-law she favored was Lu Wanning. During that time, fewer people disturbed Zhou's banquets.

"They are discussing cooperation!" Yan Xi didn't care.

Fang Shuyao: "You are too careless! That's Lu Wanning!"

Lu Wan Ning is the nightmare of countless rich daughters. She has been called "other people's children" by her parents since she was a child. Like Zhou Qingyu, she is beautiful and has a good family background, but her academic performance is average; like Yan Xi, she is beautiful and has good academic performance, but her family background is too poor.

Lu Wanning combines all the advantages of the two people. The key is that she is also very good at business. After Lu Group was handed over to her, the profit increased year by year. It can be said that she is a hexagonal warrior with no shortcomings at all.

Not to mention Meng Yingrong, if Fang Shuyao were a man, she would also love Lu Wanning.

“But I think you are also excellent!”

Yan Xi held her chin up and took a sip of champagne. "I've seen your second-hand video. The music is well-timed, and the scene transitions and rhythm are well controlled. Zhou Yanci and I are both amateurs, but your video can get millions of hits, it must be because the video itself is well made."

"Are you a professional editor? You would be great if you could do that."

Fang Shuyao stared at Yan Xi blankly.

Since she was a girl, Fang Shuyao didn't get much. Like Fang Ruoran, her greatest value in her parents' eyes was to marry into a wealthy family and strengthen the Fang family's strength.

Fang Shuyao also thought so in the past.

Some people would say that she is well-behaved and sensible, and will be a good wife and mother in the future. But no one has ever praised her, let alone praised something as small as a second-generation video.

Fang Ruoran lowered her eyelids, feeling her nose a little sour and her eyes moist.

——

In a corner where no one was paying attention, a pair of dark eyes were silently staring at Yan Xi.

The man's silver-gray suit was hidden in the shadow of the big trees in the garden, and the red wine in the glass looked like bright blood.

His eyes followed Yan Xi and became darker and darker.

Chu Mo's heart is itchy.

He didn't expect that Yan Xi was actually together with Zhou Yanci.

It seems that she had been trying to curry favor with Zhou Qingyu and put up with the eldest lady's unreasonable temper, and finally she succeeded.

Yan Xi chatted with Fang Shuyao for a while. Because her lipstick faded after drinking champagne, she went to the second floor of the villa to touch up her makeup.

Just as the door was about to close, a hand suddenly and forcefully thrust in!

Yan Xi was startled. She used force to close the door, and her bony fingers were pressed with a shocking red mark.

With a little effort, he pushed the door open.

Yan Xi took two steps back, "What are you doing here?"

"He won't marry you." Chu Mo looked at Yan Xi coldly.

There was a strong anger in his eyes, surging and surging.

Because the Chu family and the Lin family had an arranged marriage, Chuan Mo always regarded Yan Xi as his own. Even though Yan Xi left the Lin family later, in Chuan Mo's view, an orphan girl with no background had a great possibility of becoming his mistress in the future.

When he saw Yan Xi appear holding Zhou Yanci's hand, and then saw the two of them being intimate and ambiguous, he felt ashamed as if his everything was taken away.

Yan Xi sneered and looked at Chu Mo with disdain, "What does it have to do with you whether Zhou Yanci will marry me or not? You meddle too much."

Chuan Mo frowned. He didn't expect Yan Xi to be so stupid.

Yan Xi has no background, which is her disadvantage. But she has a good relationship with Zhou Qingyu, which is her advantage. The Chu family will not have any objections to having such a mistress.

Chu Mo grabbed Yan Xi's hand and said, "He won't marry you, but I can!"

"Chu Mo! Are you sick?"

Yan Xi struggled, the cold red diamond bracelet swaying slightly on her wrist.

Chu Mo noticed the bracelet and was stunned.

"Did Zhou Yanci give it to you?"

"Yes, he gave it to me! Why, if you want to marry me, then you should give me one too!"

Chu Mo choked. Even though he didn't know much about jewelry, he knew that red diamonds were the rarest color among colored diamonds. Even if the red diamonds used in the bracelet were not of top quality, this bracelet would cost at least 500 million.

Five hundred million, what does that mean? There are so many wealthy families here, some of whom don’t even have a net worth of five hundred million!

Zhou Yanci is actually serious about Yan Xi?

Is he crazy? He wants to marry a girl with no background, and he doesn't want Zhou anymore?

While Chu Mo was in a daze, Yan Xi did not let him go and kicked him hard in the crotch!

Chu Mo grimaced in pain, covered his crotch, and then let go in pain.

——

Yan Xi ran out of the room and rubbed her wrist.

Chu Mo pinched her so hard that a bright red mark appeared on her wrist.

There’s no other way, just think of it as being caught by a wild dog!

Almost at the same time, Yan Xi felt two sharp gazes coming from behind her.

When she turned around, she saw Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Yanci walking towards her with gloomy faces. Their expressions were much uglier than hers.

Zhou Yanci walked up to her quickly and held her hand. When he saw the red mark on her wrist, his face turned grim.

Without saying a word, he took out a tissue and wiped Yan Xi's wrist very carefully, inch by inch, as if he wanted to completely wipe away the mark.

Zhou Qing put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "What the hell! How dare you touch my people at my party! You Chu are going to die!"

Yan Xi whispered, "Actually... it's okay?"

Although Chu Mo grabbed her hand, she was even more ruthless and kicked him directly in the vitals.

"That won't do!" Zhou Qingyu raised her head, "He dared to touch my people! If I don't teach him a lesson, I will write the name Zhou Qingyu backwards!"

Although Yan Xi didn't care about Chu Mo, she still asked, "You don't want to find someone to beat Chu Mo, or destroy him, do you?"

Zhou Qingyu visibly choked.

Not only her, even Zhou Yanci paused.

Yan Xi:!!!

She just knew it!

"No, you are breaking the law!"

The last time Zhou Yanci beat up Meng Xuanyu, it was a bit too much. If it weren't for Yao Chi's help and the fact that Meng Xuanyu kidnapped Yan Xi first, Yan Xi would have been worried that Zhou Yanci would be sued.

This time Chu Mo just grabbed her hand, which was really a waste of her. This is against the law!

These people have finally transformed themselves from “villains” to “ordinary people”, how could they do such illegal things!

Zhou Qingyu's eyes flickered, "There are so many ways to play a trick on someone, it's not just about finding someone to beat him up!"

Zhou Yanci also rubbed Yan Xi's head and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

——

Zhou Qingyu, Yan Xi and others returned to the banquet. At this time, almost all the guests had arrived, and melodious piano music came from the garden.

As the host, Mr. Zhou cleared his throat and it was his turn to give his daughter a gift.

Zhou's father likes to play this game. He gives gifts to others when they come, but he insists on being the last one.

Of course, he is the richest man in Haicheng after all, and many people are curious about what Zhou Qingyu's father will give her on her 25th birthday.

Yao Chi appeared in a sequined purple suit with a sling bag and a document in his hand. He handed the document to Zhou's father, who then handed it to Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu blinked. "Documents? Where is the property?"

This European-style manor, the winery in Licheng, the large flat in downtown Haicheng, the yacht moored in the bay...are all birthday gifts that Zhou's father has given to Zhou Qingyu over the years.

The gift from Zhou's father may not be beautiful, but it must be valuable.

Father Zhou looked at Zhou Qingyu kindly and said, "Open it and take a look!"

Zhou Qingyu opened the document and saw four big words "Share Transfer".

Zhou Qingyu was startled and quickly checked the subsequent content.

It is Meng’s equity transfer agreement.

Before the M family scandal, Zhou Qingyu used her father's funds to purchase 36% of Meng's shares, and she secretly purchased 2% of the shares herself.

Because she was in charge of this project, Zhou's father asked Zhou Qingyu to be the chairman. In fact, without shares, Zhou Qingyu was only the representative of Zhou Corporation, and the one who really controlled Meng Corporation was still Zhou's father.

Now, Zhou's father gave the remaining 36% of the shares to Zhou Qingyu. Meng's stock price has returned to the average level. 36% of the shares is worth hundreds of millions!

Zhou Qingyu was surprised and delighted. She took Zhou's father's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, you are the best!"

Father Zhou looked proud, "You like it, right~"

Zhou's father made his fortune in real estate. After Zhou Yanci joined the company, he strengthened Zhou's IT capabilities, ensuring that Zhou is now the richest man in Haicheng.

But the eldest lady is not good at these.

But the eldest daughter is sensitive to fashion and high-end luxury. Even if she does not understand business management, the general direction of the company's decisions will not be wrong. In addition, with Yu Xiao as the CEO, there will be no problems for M Company in Zhou Qingyu's hands.

Zhou's father then felt relieved to hand Meng over to Zhou Qingyu.

When the people around learned that this was the gift Zhou's father had given them, they all gasped.

Wow, are you so generous?

Before, Pei Hanli gave Zhou Qingyu an antique crown worth hundreds of millions, which everyone already thought was very luxurious. Now this is shares worth hundreds of billions!

The richest man... worthy of being the richest man!

Jealous, envious and hateful looks came one after another. In the past, Zhou Qingyu was just a wealthy daughter, and the title of chairman of Meng Group was just an empty title, which Zhou's father could take back at any time.

But now, Zhou Qingyu is the chairman in name only! More importantly, the money used to acquire Meng's was Zhou's father's private property, not Zhou's funds. This means that Zhou's is still a complete Zhou, and Zhou Qingyu's rights and interests in Zhou's remain unchanged.

Some people couldn't help but sigh, "Jay really cares about his daughter!"

"Is Zhou Yanci going to be eliminated?"

"I'm really curious about who can marry the eldest lady. Not only is she marrying the richest daughter in Haicheng, she's also marrying the chairman of the Meng Group!"

Zhou Qingyu happily accepted the shares and signed the equity transfer agreement.

With so many shares, who would be unhappy?

The 2% dividend was already a lot before, but now it’s 38%!

Yan Xi gently pulled Zhou Qingyu.

"Qingqing, I also prepared a gift for you~"

Zhou Qingyu immediately put down the equity transfer agreement and asked curiously, "What?"

"It's definitely incomparable to my uncle's!"

Zhou Qingyu smiled, "The old man has nothing but money, so of course you should give him money. It's okay, you can give him anything, as long as the thought is there!"

Yan Xi also took out a document.

Zhou Qingyu joked, "Why is it also a document?"

Yan Xi opened the document and found a registration certificate for a music studio.

"I registered a music studio for you, including the trademark of the three characters 'Zhou Qingyu'. I remember when you were filling out your application form in your senior year of high school, you said your dream was to be a musician."

Berna University is a music school. Zhou Qingyu studied at Berna for four years in order to fulfill her musical dream. Even after returning to China, she never forgot this.

It's just that the damn plot controlled her two years ago, making her too love-minded and joining the entertainment industry for Pei Yubai.

During this period, Zhou Qingyu had nothing to do because she had no interest in the entertainment industry and didn't know what to do.

Until the registration certificate of Yan Xi's music studio appeared.

Zhou Qingyu felt a sour nose and the corners of her eyes were red.

Even when she received her father's equity transfer agreement worth hundreds of billions, she was not so excited, but when she looked at the documents of this music studio, she felt like crying.

After so many years, even she herself had forgotten it.

But Yanxi always remembered it.

"The office is still Xingyao. I have opened up an entire floor for you. There is a piano room for you to practice, a recording studio, a small theater with excellent sound insulation, and a conference room..."

Yan Xi kept talking. She knew her gift was definitely not as good as Zhou's father's, but she also hoped that Zhou Qingyu would be happy. She also hoped that Zhou Qingyu could regain her old dream because that was her favorite thing.

Yan Xi always felt that Zhou Qingyu on the music stage was shining and radiant.

Zhou Qingyu listened to Yan Xi's chattering and tears flowed unconsciously.

She suddenly reached out and hugged Yan Xi tightly.

"Xixi, thank you."
