"Why are you so stubborn!" Zhan Ruofeng's face immediately turned dark.
"Is it me who's stubborn, or are you unable to compete with Taoxun directly, so you want to resort to crooked methods?" Zhan Ruoqing snorted coldly. "Who doesn't know that from the moment Taoxun was launched, it ended Qianbai's monopoly? It's always suppressed Qianbai. I just don't understand, why are you still investing in the industry's number one company instead of withdrawing your investment, and instead pressuring me to withdraw my investment from the industry's number one?"
Zhan Ruofeng opened his mouth, speechless.
He suddenly realized that he should have dealt with his sister when she was younger, because once she grew up, it would be harder to handle!
"I think you've been brainwashed by Ye Zhi! You're just like a young girl who's been tricked by a scumbag," Zhan Ruofeng's face darkened further. He pointed at the newly opened packages and said, "She only sent you some cheap little gifts, and you're already infatuated with her!"
Zhan Ruoqing was so angry that she picked up a cushion and wildly smashed it on his head. "What's wrong with cheap? She's my friend. Even if she sent me a stone, I'd be happy!"
As Zhan Ruofeng shielded his head and face with his arms, he paused slightly upon hearing that, "A stone would be more expensive than these."
"Is that the point?!" Zhan Ruoqing, furious, threw the cushion into his arms. "I was even planning to introduce you to Ye Zhi, thinking of her becoming my sister-in-law. I think I'll just forget about it!"
"Then I truly thank you," Zhan Ruofeng said speechlessly.
Seeing his relieved expression, Zhan Ruoqing became even more enraged. "I changed my mind because you're not worthy! She's beautiful and capable. Look at you, you only have your face, and your face isn't even as good as mine!"
Zhan Ruofeng: ...
He was furious! He was so angry he wanted to lash out! How could he have thought his sister was gentle, obedient, and cute before?
An illusion, it must have been an illusion!
Zhan Ruofeng took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said, "What will it take for you to withdraw your investment?"
"I can withdraw my investment if you agree," Zhan Ruoqing said with a cold smile. "If you give me the position of CEO, I'll withdraw my investment immediately!"
Zhan Ruofeng's face sank. "Sister, stop being unreasonable!"
Zhan Ruoqing's expression darkened. She had tried so hard to prove herself, but even though her choices were correct, better choices, and even though she had her own ideas, she was still ignored by her family.
They always thought of her as a willful child, and her actions as nothing more than childish tantrums.
At this moment, Zhan Ruoqing truly felt tired. She had lost all desire to convince Zhan Ruofeng.
"Brother, I think I still have some packages outside. Could you go check the door for me?" Zhan Ruoqing suddenly said.
"Do you?" Zhan Ruofeng was slightly taken aback. He didn't remember missing any packages earlier.
"Yes, yes," Zhan Ruoqing looked at him pitifully. "Brother, could you go check for me~"
"Alright, alright." Zhan Ruofeng reluctantly got up and walked directly outside the door.
Zhan Ruoqing quietly followed behind him. Seeing Zhan Ruofeng wandering confusedly in the hallway looking for nonexistent packages, Zhan Ruoqing took a deep breath and said angrily, "Get lost, you!"
With that, she slammed the door shut.
Zhan Ruofeng, who hadn't reacted at all: ...
So angry! I really want to trade this sister for a stainless steel basin!
In the end, Zhan Ruofeng left helplessly. The wronged Zhan Ruoqing immediately called Ye Zhi and complained about her brother for nearly half an hour before getting tired and going to rest.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhi went to the balcony. As she looked up, she saw Qi Xuan opposite her.
"Finished your call?" Qi Xuan asked calmly.
"Mhm," Ye Zhi smiled charmingly. "We can start our workout for tonight. Shall I come to you!"
"No need, I'll come to your place," Qi Xuan said indifferently.
Ye Zhi leaned against the railing, and she suggested with a smile, "You know, why don't we build a corridor in between? It would be more convenient to go back and forth."
Qi Xuan's heart skipped an extra beat uncontrollably. He instinctively wanted to agree.
"I was just kidding~" Ye Zhi waved her hand. "If we really did that, there would be no privacy at all. Hurry up and come over, I'll be waiting for you!"
Qi Xuan: ...
But he had taken it seriously.
Seeing Ye Zhi turn and prepare to go downstairs, he sighed helplessly. Forget it, there's still plenty of time.
Qi Xuan went downstairs and happened to meet the butler.
"Young Master, are you going to Miss Ye's place?" the butler asked with a smile.
"Mhm," Qi Xuan nodded.
The butler couldn't help but advise, "Young Master, it's not that I'm saying it to you, but when you face Miss Ye, you need to be more proactive, create some small surprises, hold hands, hug, and so on, to break the ice and foster feelings..."
Qi Xuan frowned slightly, and he said somewhat helplessly, "Butler, please don't say these things anymore. I hope any physical contact between Ye Zhi and me is with her consent. I respect her wishes and will not ignore her feelings for my own selfish desires."
The butler's eyes widened in shock. "Young Master, but if you continue like this, when will you be able to win over Miss Ye?"
"Butler, tell me, should I not have any accidents tomorrow?" Qi Xuan suddenly said. xxs壹贰
The butler's face darkened. "You child, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Qi Xuan smiled faintly. "My body is relatively healthy, and I usually pay attention to my safety. I don't have any diseases, so I should have no problem living to eighty."
"Not eighty, even ninety is fine!" the butler corrected.
"Right, meaning I can still live for at least fifty or sixty more years. Isn't fifty or sixty years enough for me to catch up to Ye Zhi?" Qi Xuan said calmly.
The butler: ...
He was so shocked he couldn't speak! Qi Xuan had extended the battle line to fifty or sixty years?
He really couldn't understand the love lives of these young people anymore!
By the time the butler regained his senses, Qi Xuan had already left. He sighed helplessly, now all he hoped was that his old bones could live a few more years, to live until they were successfully together.
But...
Thinking of Ye Zhi, whose mind was entirely focused on her career and not on love at all, the butler couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. Would he really live to see that day?
That night, after Zhan Ruofeng returned to the Zhan family, he angrily told Zhan Li about Zhan Ruoqing's stubbornness.
Not only the Zhan family, but the homes of several investors were also in chaos, and their family relationships were severely strained.
The next day, these investors gathered and held another video conference. After discussing it, they realized that the younger generation was more stubborn than the other, and no matter how they threatened or enticed them, these children refused to change their minds.
What was most infuriating was that one investor with a smaller investment, after talking to his son, was actually persuaded by his son to switch sides, withdraw his investment from Qianbai, and invest in Taoxun.
This undoubtedly dealt a great blow to their morale. Facing this outcome, Yao Hongbo truly felt a headache!
