Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Yin Qin Stands Out, Weng Cheng is Furious (Third Update)

A quiet office.

Because of something Ji Baixin said, there was a sudden sense of quietness.

Yin Qin was looking at Ji Baixin.

After Ji Baixin spoke, she felt like she …. went too far.

She said, “I’m not really used to you being so serious. You used to be unreliable when you talk, suddenly becoming reliable makes me a bit uncomfortable.”

She was trying to smooth things over, doing her best to save face.

She never thought to disrupt Yin Qin’s feelings, she was always enduring.

She thought that she might forget one day, just like forgetting Li Wenjun.

Yin Qin also chuckled and joked, “If I’d been like this years ago, maybe I could have won you over.”

Ji Baixin did not respond.

Yin Qin also knew that he was talking nonsense.

If he had been like this hundreds of years ago, Ji Baixin still wouldn’t have given him a glance.

Ji Baixin returned to the topic, “About the request you just mentioned, I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you, here’s a contract for you. Do you think the amount is too little?”

Ji Baixin took a glance.

The amount was already twice as much as her current net worth.

She said, “You don’t have to deliberately give a mate’s rate.”

“No, I’ve seen Li Wenjun’s contract. No matter what, you should at least double his rate! If a scumbag like him can get such a high design fee, you should absolutely crush him!”

Ji Baixin couldn’t help but laugh.

Despite her serious demeanor, Yin Qin’s amusing nature couldn’t be hidden.

She said, “Thank you for appreciating me so much.”

“It is what it is.” Yin Qin said, extending his hand, “Looking forward to working together.”

Ji Baixin looked at Yin Qin.

Seeing Yin Qin sitting directly opposite her as a business partner, the passionate light in his eyes was noticeably fading. Seeing his calm and nonchalant demeanor with her, she felt a wave of emotion but covered it up without leaving any traces, “Looking forward to working together.”

Their hands gripped each other.

The next second, Yin Qin let go of her hand.

He released her hand faster than she did.

There seemed to be no lingering attachment anymore.

But, she could still feel the warmth of his touch, lingering at her fingertips, unable to wave it away.

Yin Qin then talked to her about some other things, most of which were about their business.

Until it was time to leave work.

Only then did Ji Baixin leave.

When she was leaving, Yin Qin did not take the initiative to invite her to dinner.

She held back, didn’t say anything and left.

After Ji Baixin left, Yin Qin looked towards the door.

Actually, the phrase “Do you want to have dinner together tonight?” was on the tip of his tongue, but he just didn’t say it.

Actually, it wasn’t that he was deliberately forcing himself not to say it, it’s just that he couldn’t say it.

Perhaps, he was gradually letting go.

No longer like before, desperately wanting to stay with her a little longer, even a moment would feel like a grace from heaven.

He no longer thought about it and continued to work hard.

Downstairs in the office.

Weng Cheng’s face was a bit ugly.

He heavily threw his phone on his own desk.

His confidant stood respectfully before him, not daring to even breath too loudly!

“The finance department reported that Xin Group transferred a hundred and thirty million to our account for an investment in ‘Hall of Heaven’. The investment document clearly stated that Yin Qin, the person in charge of ‘Hall of Heaven’, had full authority over these funds?!”

“Yes.” The confidant answered, his entire body rigid.

“Damn it!” Weng Cheng cursed.

He had been played by Yin Qin!

Yin Qin had claimed to possess numerous shares, leading him to believe that he was only selling off these shares. But he hadn’t expected that Yin Qin would find financing.

He assumed that the most likely source of such financing would be Jihong Group. But from the internal information he had gathered, Ji Yunlei, the cunning old businessman, had long since issued an order within the company not to finance any projects related to Milky Way. He hadn’t given a single thought to the possibility that Yin Qin could have won over Xin Zaozao!

As for that woman, Xin Zaozao, he had previously thought her merely fortunate enough to inherit Xin Group’s industries. He had never even considered the possibility that the capable Mu Cidian would end up losing to Xin Zaozao. He assumed it was a romantic entanglement, that without Mu Cidian’s support, Xin Group would collapse instantly. He was expecting to enjoy the spectacle, but he never expected Xin Zaozao to successfully hold up the entire Xin Group all by herself. From their occasional business collaborations, they had crossed paths a few times, and he had realized through these interactions that his initial impressions of her were too subjective—Xin Zaozao was in fact far from incompetent.

If she was that capable, she certainly would not help Yin Qin finance his project.

Currently, not a single group or bank in Yanshang Country would provide financing for Yin Qin. They all viewed him as an immature playboy, constantly causing trouble. No one was willing to risk their money on him. Yet Xin Zaozao went ahead anyway. While the amount wasn’t substantial for a corporation, it was definitely not a trifling sum to toss around. Xin Zaozao’s move was bound to cause internal conflicts within Xin Group, especially considering the reported disagreement within Xin Family due to Wan Quan’s presence!

He couldn’t figure out why Xin Zaozao would extend her aid to Yin Qin!

He had never even entertained the thought that someone would assist Yin Qin.

Weng Cheng was so angry his teeth itched.

“Director, I have also learned that Yin Qin has persuaded the directors and actors of ‘Hall of Heaven’. Everybody is now following his instructions. ‘Hall of Heaven’ is progressing well. I have heard from the employees involved in the project that after major alterations, the show has indeed become more appealing. I am worried…”

“Worried about what!” Weng Cheng’s face turned sour. He dismissed his confidant’s worries offhand. He barked, “No matter how amazing he is, it is impossible for him to raise the ratings to 2. Yin Qin is all talk!”

“Yes.” The confidant could only reply respectfully.

Weng Cheng’s face was still’re markably ashen.

At that moment.

The office door was suddenly knocked open.

Weng Cheng looked over.

With a fiery temper, Yin Ying appeared in his office, “Weng Cheng, what are you up to! What is Yin Qin trying to pull?!”

Seeing his mother, Weng Cheng instantly felt less significant, “Why are you here at the office?”

“Can’t I come? I thought you were in full control now. Usually, I only come to work when I feel like it, and I stay home when I don’t. But now, I hear that Yin Qin is stirring up the entire Milky Way and his project is progressing splendidly. Are you just going to let him do whatever he pleases?!”

“What can he possibly achieve.” Weng Cheng sneered.

“Even if he can’t accomplish much, I will not allow Yin Qin to have any successes! Do you know why the board members now lean towards you? Isn’t it because Yin Qin hasn’t achieved anything? If Yin Qin suddenly becomes very successful, have you thought about your future situation?!”

“Everyone knows it’s not just about the situation. Ye Wenhan deserves most of the credit!”

“Are you an idiot?! Do you think Ye Wenhan can cover for you forever? Serving the powerful is like taming a tiger. He might just leave you high and dry one day. Maybe he’ll be brought down someday! Don’t you want to hold all the power yourself? Or do you want to get kicked out?!”

“Even so, I don’t see what Yin Qin can do!”

“I don’t care! I don’t care whether Yin Qin is capable or not, you must find a way to stop him from achieving anything. You must!” Yin Ying insisted harshly.

Against his mother’s fiery temper, all he could do was nod.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, how did you find out about Yin Qin’s current situation?”

As he asked this, he glared at his confidant.

Yin Ying’s eyes chilled, “It has nothing to do with your lackey. Li Wenjun came to see me and told me that Yin Qin directly fired him from his position as the designer of ‘Hall of Heaven’ and had him replaced by Ji Baixin!”

Turns out it was that pretty boy, Li Wenjun.

“Now that we’re on this subject, I am seething with anger! I couldn’t care less about Li Wenjun’s development, however, I can’t accept Ji Baixin replacing his position! Isn’t this a slap to my face? Everyone knows that Li Wenjun was placed into the program by me. Now that he has been fired, where should I put my face? You must find a way to make Ji Baixin vacate the position for Li Wenjun.”

“But at the time, I had agreed that Yin Qin would be in full control of the ‘Hall of Heaven’ project, and he cunningly kept the video as evidence. On what basis should I reinstate your pet? Do you want me to slap myself in the face?!”

“Who are you calling pet, watch your language! If it wasn’t for Li Wenjun’s support, you wouldn’t have gained control of Milky Way so quickly. Don’t forget to be grateful!”

Weng Cheng remained contemptuous.

“Besides, I’ve already said this has nothing to do with Li Wenjun as a person, but rather an issue about saving my face.”

“Then what should I do now?” Weng Cheng couldn’t think of a solution.

He wasn’t keen on letting Yin Qin monopolize the spotlight either.

“Li Wenjun said he has a solution!” Yi Ying stated each word clearly.

A sinister smile crept across her face!
