Chapter 243 So Calculating

After selecting the clothes for the next day, Xia Qingtian went straight to wash up and sleep.

A good night's sleep could determine her skin's condition for the entire day, so she had to ensure she got enough rest.

While Xia Qingtian slept soundly, some people were unable to sleep at all.

"President Yu, we've done our best, but the trending topic about Xia Qingtian is too popular now. All the trending searches on the homepage are about her. Only two are not; they're about the Z Nation's Top Ten Young Achievers award ceremony next month. This trending topic platform dares not suppress or remove it. The trending topic we bought for Wen Shengsheng can't get onto the homepage."

Hearing her subordinate's report, Yu Linwan gritted her back teeth so hard they made a crunching sound.

That wretched Xia Qingtian! She was indeed cunningly hidden!

She had been curious why Gu Yaoyang would choose Xia Corporation for the new energy cooperation. It turned out Xia Qingtian, that wretch, was stirring up trouble in the middle.

Gu Yaoyang was truly infatuated by that wretch.

"Xia! Qing! Tian!" Yu Linwan clenched her fists tightly. "We'll see!"

She had figured out Xia Qingtian's methods. Once she fully supported Wen Shengsheng, even if she couldn't bring down Xia Qingtian, it would be a win for her to simply annoy that wretched Xia Qingtian!

Just you wait! She wouldn't let Xia Qingtian have an easy time!

At the same time, the young master of Hua Heng, who was receiving a massage, spoke of everything he had seen in a semi-conscious state.

"So, you're saying Xia Qingtian seduced Mr. Gu, which helped Xia Corporation secure the new energy cooperation?"

"Mmm, I saw them in the shower with my own eyes..." Young Master Hua Heng's voice trailed off: "There's no mistake."

"Is that so..." Ying Ya, who was massaging Young Master Hua Heng, wore a light, thin skirt. She pressed down hard on a spot behind his neck, and Young Master Hua Heng immediately lost consciousness, falling into a deep sleep.

Ying Ya let out a cold snort, gracefully swung her long, fair legs over Young Master Hua Heng's back to the ground, and then绕 to the other side of the screen. She took out her phone and dialed a number: "It's confirmed. Xia Qingtian is trying to win Gu Yaoyang over to her side."

"This is not good..." The person on the other end of the phone sounded noticeably worried. "Now it seems that the person behind Xia Qingtian's actions is likely Mobius."

"Gu Corporation Entertainment has already started cooperating with Xia Corporation. The situation is very unfavorable for us," Ying Ya said in a low voice. "Do you need me to try hypnotizing Gu Yaoyang to make him terminate this cooperation?"

"Not for now. Just keep Hua Heng stable. Mobius is still in the shadows. Making a move now could easily expose you," the person on the other end said gravely. "The big boss is returning to the country soon. City Z is his first stop. Before he returns, we must resolve this matter."

"Yes!" Ying Ya's eyes showed a flicker of yearning as she thought of that mysterious big boss. "What do you need me to do next? Hua Heng is already under our control."

"Continue as you are. As for Gu Yaoyang..." The other party was silent for a moment before saying, "I will arrange for someone to start from the Gu family in Kyoto. If all goes smoothly, not only will the new energy issue be resolved, but that mine, and that annoying Wen Jiu, can also be dealt with in one go!"

"Alright, I'll do as you say..." Ying Ya said in a deep voice.

Meanwhile, Mo Jianing, who had finally escaped the hotel room and was injured, was curled up on a hospital corridor bench, biting her lower lip and crying.

Her makeup was completely smeared, and the back of her hand, where she had just finished her IV drip, was bruised.

She had almost, almost had her purity defiled by that man in his fifties!

The man had acted like a respectable elder at the wine table, making her let down her guard, and then he had drugged her drink.

If she hadn't noticed something was wrong immediately, pretended to indulge him, feigned drunkenness, and desperately stuck her fingers down her throat to vomit, she might not have been able to leave that room alive.

Her head hurt terribly. She had stumbled all the way, and she didn't know how many times she had fallen. Her whole body ached.

Her cheek was also swollen from the old man's slap, and her ears were ringing.

She had originally wanted to check what was happening online and find some comfort and encouragement from Xia Qingtian's plight, but instead, she saw such a reversal and a flood of praise for Xia Qingtian.

Mo Jianing completely broke down.

Why! Why was she the only one who lost so completely!

The flames of jealousy burned her, causing pain in her very core.

She would remember this moment of humiliation. One day, Mo Jianing would become someone superior!

She would definitely crush Xia Qingtian under her feet!

No matter the cost! She would achieve it!

At the same time, in a high-end apartment in City L.

Looking at the messages on his computer, Song Junhan smashed the half-finished bottle of champagne he hadn't finished drinking towards a corner of the wall. Glass shattered, and wine splashed all over the floor.

"Wretch! Wretch!" Song Junhan trembled with rage. "I don't believe you'll be this lucky forever!"

He had originally intended to ruin Xia Qingtian, but now he had inadvertently provided two trending topics for Xia Qingtian!

And that Xia Honglang!

He truly lived up to his reputation as a seasoned veteran, actually playing a trick on him at this moment!

It seemed Xia Honglang was using a more sophisticated method of money laundering, even avoiding the inspection of national government departments!

Only the fools online were being deceived by Xia Honglang and his daughter.

This was all a meticulous plan by Xia Honglang and Xia Qingtian, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows!

Damn it!

Damn bastards!

It seemed that even if he hadn't anonymously reported them, Xia Honglang would have found a way to expose this part, create hype for Xia Qingtian, and clear her name!

Thinking that he had been manipulated, Song Junhan was so angry he wanted to smash his head against the wall!

Xia Honglang... Xia Qingtian...

He would not let this scumbag father and daughter go!

Just you wait!

Not only did Song Junhan believe that all of this was Xia Honglang's scheme, but the directors of Xia Corporation also thought the same.

They even thought more extremely.

"In my opinion, maybe this so-called anonymous report was also orchestrated by Xia Honglang himself!"

Before the board meeting the next day, the directors convened a small meeting half an hour in advance, their faces all solemn and grim.

"Why would he pull such a stunt?" a director asked, not understanding.

"He's just trying to shake the mountains and the tigers, using this opportunity to warn us," the director sitting at the back slapped the table. "I felt that Director Lian's departure was too sudden, and Director Su's departure was also inexplicable! I say both these directors were coerced by Xia Honglang!"

"Good for him, Xia Honglang! How did I not realize he was such a person before?" a director on the left said through gritted teeth. "He previously proposed that Xia Qingtian manage the resort project, and we disagreed. He even staged that scene of father-daughter estrangement for everyone to see, and what happened? He covertly sent Xia Qingtian to Mr. Gu's side!"

Xia Honglang, that old fox, was truly scheming!
