The atmosphere in the office was already tense and when Director Li who was the only one speaking also became silent, Ji Chen’s voice became clearer.
“Yes, we just got the certificate not long ago.”
“He is a very good-looking and cute boy. He didn’t want to directly announce at first because he was worried it would affect his life. But the day before yesterday’s incident suddenly happened, so I will simply use this press conference to clarify the situation.”
To the general public, Ji Chen was a familiar but hardly impressionable existence. He was low-key and has always left no room for the paparazzi to obtain information about his private life. A while back, a reporter was fortunate enough to obtain a frontal photo of him but refused to delete it, however, he suddenly disappeared from the industry and since then, that kind of thing has never happened again.
So strictly speaking, today was the first time that Ji Chen had reappeared before the camera after twenty years.
The drowsiness caused by work was completely wiped out. Gu Xiyu’s colleagues stared at him incredulously and then looked at the live news broadcast on the computer with their mouths open enough to fit huge eggs.
The owner of the computer paused it in a hurry and the office instantly returned to its original quietness. No one dared to speak out but they made crazy eye contact, silently mouthing, “What’s going on?”
Gu Xiyu looked at Director Li, who had walked up to him and grabbed his work permit. The scene was extremely embarrassing.
Of course, it was Director Li who was feeling embarrassed.
He looked at the work permit in his hand for a long time and gradually calmed down. He then asked: “Are you the person President Ji just mentioned?”
Gu Xiyu replied: “It should be me………”
That is if Ji Chen didn’t know a second “Gu Xiyu”.
“…” Director Li took a deep breath and said, “Even if you have this level of identity, there is no guarantee that you are not the one who had sold the Fengming’s internal information.”
They originally came over in a hurry to arrest a person but suddenly they realized that it was the president’s “wife” that they wanted to arrest. In this case, even if they had evidence to prove that the person who had sent the email was Gu Xiyu, they would have to wait for Ji Chen to return before making a decision.
So Gu Xiyu was forced to stop what he was doing and was taken directly to Ji Chen’s office to await his return.
On the way there, they met a few important figures who seemed to have come over to find Ji Chen.
Gu Xiyu didn’t know their identities until Director Li greeted them with a smile. He didn’t know that those people were members of the Liyang Group.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Liyang and Fengming seemed to be good and they had a lot of cooperations going on between them.
Gu Xiyu, who was going to be sent to Ji Chen’s office as a prisoner, stayed quietly by the side without disturbing their conversation. Among the people from Liyang Group, the middle-aged man who was surrounded by other people saw him and greeted him: “Xiyu! Long time no see. I didn’t expect that you were accepted by Fengming after you left.”
Gu Xiyu was a little surprised, but he didn’t show it on his face: “Long time no see.”
That person with the temperament of a president of the big company walked up to him. He took a look at him through his glasses, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, saying: “Not bad! You little brat! You actually became an employee at Fengming. Your temperament seems to be different, it’s much more mature.”
“Thank you for the compliment.” Gu Xiyu’s response was still very reserved.
The man continued to look at him with a smile and then said to Director Li: “Okay, I happened to be passing by and wanted to have a cup of tea and a good chat with Mr. Ji. Since he is not here, I will leave first. I have to hurry up and board the plane.”
Director Li smiled and said, “Okay, President Lan. Please go slowly and take care. I will tell President Ji about you.”
Gu Xiyu frowned slightly as he watched the people pass by and leave the top-floor office.
The original owner was just a small clerk in Liyang Group. How come he was so familiar with the president of the company?
After sending these people away, Director Li pushed Gu Xiyu into the conference room next to Ji Chen’s office with a dark face and ordered the secretary outside to take good care of him before leaving.
Gu Xiyu watched the secretary walk out of the meeting room and close the door carefully before asking: “System, can you connect to Fengming’s data system to find out the whole story?”
The system’s response was quite quick, but it was not very reliable: [?]
[Check what?]
Gu Xiyu sat in a chair and crossed his legs. He pondered for a long time and finally couldn’t stand this system anymore. : “I DARE YOU TO ASK AGAIN!”
The system repeated very obediently: [What do you want to check?]
The “obedient” system was probably aware of his temper and before Gu Xiyu could explode from anger, it immediately corrected its mistake:[I can only monitor the situation of the panel. I cannot directly detect and see the changes in your surroundings or what you are experiencing.]
Gu Xiyu was confused.
The limit of the intelligent system was actually so big?
When Ji Chen received Gu Xiyu’s explanation through the system, Director Li’s call happened to come in.
He had finished the press conference and was on his way back to the company. He quickly connected to the phone to learn what had happened. He had already guessed that the culprit was deliberately trying to frame Gu Xiyu, but he did not explain it on the phone, only saying, “Wait for me to go back and deal with it.”
Ji Chen was about to reply to Gu Xiyu when the mobile phone received another call, it was a foreign number.
“Good morning, President Ji.” On the other side of the call was his agent of the foreign branch. “The young master of the Ji family met Andrei this morning. It is said that they have signed an equity transfer contract.”
Ji Chen knew that the Ji family had also been aiming for this huge huge piece of cake for a long time but he hadn’t expected their movements to be so fast.
Ji Zixuan, the newly appointed patriarch, was under pressure from the side branches of the Ji family and really needed a chance to prove his abilities so that those who doubt him would shut up.
“It is said that Mr. Ji guessed your plan before he passed away and paved the way for Ji Zixuan’s succession in advance.”
Ji Chen hung up the phone without saying a word.
Before he died, the old man didn’t forget to suppress him with the last manpower and resources he could use. If Ji Yan hadn’t been obstructing it in secret over the years, Fengming’s achievements would have been much more than this.
He was obviously his biological father, but he was colder to him than to outsiders.
[ Notification from the hub: Tge calculations for a new mainline mission are finished and the mission is being released.]
The notification from the panel reminded him of the reason for Gu Xiyu’s appearance and his mood instantly dropped to the worst point.
He almost forgot that even his legal spouse came to prevent him from hurting and suppressing Ji Zixuan.
Ji Chen even wondered whether Gu Xiyu and this so-called system were super-technical products that Ji Yan had secretly researched before his death seeing as he Chen couldn’t take over the Ji Group and suppress Ji Zixuan even after Ji Yan’s death.
He was not a god but an ordinary person, how can he be free of grievances in his heart?
The more Ji Yan wanted to protect Ji Zixuan and push him out to ruin him, the more Ji Chen wanted to destroy him.
Ji Chen concealed the darkness under his eyes. He tapped his finger on the phone for a long time and sent a few messages to the contacts on the list.
Although he had no say in the Ji Group, this did not prevent him from knowing that the current Ji Group needed a major rectification. When a group is in business for a long time and looks prosperous on the outside, the middle and high-level leaders will always be corrupt on the inside.
It was a good opportunity to exploit loopholes.
Gu Xiyu was right. He didn’t need anyone’s charity but the things that should belong to him have to be taken back no matter what.
[Automatic notification from the hub: The target’s risk value is detected to be unstable. The target has started the next step to deal with Ji Zixuan and take away the Ji Group. The target will use his connections and all means available to suppress Ji Zixuan, who has just taken over all of the Ji Group. When he is most helpless, Ji Chen will offer help to gain Ji Zixuan’s trust and use the opportunity to reach into the Ji family’s industry.]
The smile on Ji Chen’s lips was very cold. The system has always been very accurate in grasping his whereabouts. He wonder how Gu Xiyu will stop him this time.
The anger and expectation intertwined and rolled in Ji Chen’s heart. However, the light on his eyes that was gradually becoming cold suddenly stopped after seeing the next sentence of the system, and became one of astonishment.
[So, the host’s third main task is to go on a honeymoon with the target.]
Ji Chen, who had temporarily lost the right to speak in the system, stared at the last prompt and fell silent.
He suddenly confirmed that this would not be Ji Yan’s creation. After all, the old man was quite reliable in his work and wouldn’t launch such a mentally retarded system.
~
In President Fengming’s office, Gu Xiyu sent a question to the system for the third time: “?”
The wording sounded quite serious at first, so he almost didn’t recognize the word “honeymoon”.
The content of the mission and the summary of the situation can’t be said to be closely related. It was simply irrelevant.
As if detecting Gu Xiyu’s momentary collapse and shock, the system prompt quickly popped out again.
[Automatic notification from the hub: All tasks and missions issued by the main system are calculated based on background data. They have the greatest instructions that can reduce the risk value of the target and help promote the adjustment and stability of the world’s fate line. This is the best advice currently available!]
This meant that hanging out with Ji Chen will prevent Ji Chen from dealing with Ji Zixuan???
Outrageous!
Gu Xiyu even suspected that the system was laying a trap.
Is there really no technical error in this advanced system? He remembered that the system should have a way to contact the bureau through the hub, perhaps he should find time to ask the bureau about the system.
[Heh.] A chuckle suddenly rang out in his mind. But because it was a mechanical sound with no emotional ups and downs, it sounded more like a sneer.
Gu Xiyu sat on the edge of the chair dully and said: “I don’t think I want to understand but how the hell is a honeymoon and the mission even related? I think I should just stab Ji Chen in the body and let him lie down in the hospital for a few months. This effect should also be very good, right?”
For some reason, the intelligent system chuckled at him again.
He was stunned when he heard a bit of pleasure in the mechanical sound.
Then, it said to him, [Maybe it means if the target is happy and too busy “playing” with you, then he might not have time to destroy anything.]
Gu Xiyu: “?”
Then the system didn’t talk to him again. Just when he thought the system was not going to answer him, he suddenly heard its voice again.
[Ji Chen wanted to deal with Ji Zixuan because he was very unhappy. Everyone around him is against him, fighting him for Ji Zixuan, including his biological father.]
[Actually, he is also tired of living like this.]
[Perhaps if you can make him happy, he might not deal with the Ji family.]
