Everyone was suddenly shocked and looked at Qi Xuan. Young master, you've been hiding yourself so deeply, you're actually a playboy?!
"Miss Ye, is there perhaps some misunderstanding in this?" the butler asked, recovering from his shock, his tone bewildered.
It wasn't that he was biased towards Qi Xuan. If Qi Xuan truly had this ability, why hadn't he managed to win over Ye Zhi by now?
"What misunderstanding? None at all," Ye Zhi gritted her teeth. "I think he needs to be neutered!"
The butler's face turned pale with shock. "Miss Ye, this, this... it's not a crime deserving such punishment!"
Ye Zhi disagreed. "Uncle Butler, it's precisely because you all spoil it too much that it has harmed so many lady cats..."
The butler's eyes widened in astonishment. Lady cats? Wait, after all this talk, she wasn't talking about their young master, but about Zhao Cai?
He was truly scared to death! Miss Ye is really something, at his age, how could he withstand such a scare!
"Zhao Cai is..." Qi Xuan chose his words carefully, "that mischievous?"
"Isn't he!" Ye Zhi said with a苦涩 face. "When neighbors brought their lady cats to demand an explanation from me, I was truly ashamed.
It was only because my attitude in apologizing was quite good, and I was willing to bear the nutritional expenses for those lady cats, to raise their unborn kittens for Zhao Cai, and to guarantee that Zhao Cai would never make such a mistake again, that they were willing to leave."
"This is indeed Zhao Cai's fault, and we should be responsible. I think," Qi Xuan nodded slightly, "I'll cover these expenses."
"Do I lack that little bit of money?" Ye Zhi waved her hand. "I hope you'll take it to get neutered."
Qi Xuan paused for a moment. "Aren't you coming along?"
"Perhaps not," Ye Zhi said with a slight air of guilt. "What if Zhao Cai dislikes me because of this?"
Qi Xuan: ...
So it's okay if Zhao Cai dislikes him?
"Miss Ye, why don't I go?" the butler offered eagerly.
"No, no," Ye Zhi shook her head. "Uncle Butler, Zhao Cai trusts you the most normally. If he goes out with you and his most important thing is gone, he'll definitely question his feline existence."
"That's true," the butler agreed with a nod. "Then young master should go."
Qi Xuan: ...
He once again doubted if his employer's identity was genuine.
"Alright, I'll go," Qi Xuan agreed.
"By the way, do you know about the collaboration event between Qian Bai and A mobile?" Ye Zhi frowned. "I feel like something is not right."
"It is indeed strange," Qi Xuan said in a deep voice. "A mobile has always been unwilling to sell at a discount, and the interface for Qian Bai's event clearly shows a price lower than A mobile's official website price. If Qian Bai were subsidizing users with their own money, not to mention whether Ou Minghan has that much money, even if he did, he probably wouldn't be willing to spend it."
Ye Zhi nodded in agreement. "Then at such a low price, it can only be a counterfeit product. But I don't think it's very likely either. Although Qian Bai's reputation has hit rock bottom, Ou Minghan wouldn't orchestrate such a big farce, right? If the truth comes out, he'll definitely be held accountable."
"What if..." Qi Xuan frowned, "Ou Minghan is unaware?"
Ye Zhi was stunned. Qi Xuan's words directly opened up a new train of thought for her. If Ou Minghan was also in the dark about this matter...
"If someone is indeed deceiving those above and below, then things will get interesting!" Ye Zhi slowly exhaled. "I even have a feeling that this matter is definitely more than just counterfeit products. Let's wait slowly and see how this play unfolds!"
Soon, Qi Xuan took Zhao Cai and went to have its sterilization surgery.
Zhao Cai didn't seem to dislike Qi Xuan because of this, but after the surgery, it became weak, pitiful, and helpless, yet still ate a lot, and became even more clingy to Ye Zhi than before.
The only regret was that when it saw the beautiful cat from the neighbor's house, it seemed to have no reaction.

Through Jia Cheng's introduction, Ou Minghan met Mr. Foster, the person in charge of A brand mobile phones.
The two had a pleasant conversation, and Ou Minghan was overjoyed, becoming even more convinced of the cooperation. Foster proposed that for this collaboration, Qian Bai should set up a separate account specifically for this purpose, and the shipping would be handled by company A. Qian Bai would only be responsible for relaying orders to company A.
Ou Minghan felt that these requirements were reasonable, and would also save Qian Bai trouble and responsibility, so he agreed.
Afterward, Ou Minghan began to heavily promote this event.
The price of 5?99 did attract quite a few people, after all, even 5099 was still a hundred yuan less than the official website price.
The event's browse volume reached millions daily. When Jia Cheng reported this data to Ou Minghan, Ou Minghan was so happy that he praised Jia Cheng profusely.
Finally, the day came to reveal the price. Qian Bai unveiled the price: A brand mobile phones would be sold for 5499.
This price, however, made many people sober up. At such a low price, could it really be genuine?
However, there were still many people who believed that a large company like Qian Bai would not have any problems. They decided to take a gamble, paid the money, and waited for delivery.
The event lasted only two days. By the end of the event, nearly twenty thousand mobile phones had been sold.
Ou Minghan was not very satisfied with this amount. Calculating it this way, the money he earned was too little.
As he was worrying, Jia Cheng called him.
"President, I plan to go on a business trip to country M to discuss follow-up cooperation with company A," Jia Cheng said. "With the success of this collaboration, we can definitely achieve long-term cooperation with A brand mobile phones."
"Jia Cheng, you are truly my most loyal subordinate," Ou Minghan said emotionally. "I didn't expect that only you truly care about me. Alright, go with peace of mind. Do you want me to arrange for someone to accompany you?"
"No need, President. I brought my own translator, so I won't trouble you," Jia Cheng replied.
"Good, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask," Ou Minghan was about to hang up when a thought struck him, and he suddenly asked, "When will you be back?"
"I'll return next week," Jia Cheng said.
The call ended. Ou Minghan never expected that this would be his last conversation with Jia Cheng.
He was still waiting for Jia Cheng to bring back good news about the cooperation, but instead of Jia Cheng, he received online reports that the mobile phones purchased from Qian Bai had never been received. No, it wasn't that they hadn't been received, it was that they had never been shipped!
Ou Minghan initially didn't pay attention, but these feedback reports increased. Many people directly called the Consumer Association, and the Consumer Association contacted Qian Bai company, asking them to clarify the situation.
Only then did Ou Minghan realize the seriousness of the matter. He immediately tried to contact Jia Cheng, but Jia Cheng's phone was always busy. He also contacted Foster, but Foster's phone was also constantly busy.
