1328 Just A Chess Piece 3

Mu Yuchen did not offer any words of comfort. He just drank his tea in silence while looking at the scenery outside the window.

The weather had been getting colder while the scent of plum blossoms was in the air.

“Brother-in-law, you said you’d help me…What should I do for you to get my son back for me? You said you’d give me a chance.” Xi Xinyi seemed hopeful as she grabbed onto the photographs Mu Yuchen gave her earlier.

He averted his gaze back to her. “I wouldn’t have met with Han Yifeng if I didn’t want to give you a chance.”

He was not lying. He truly did not want to see Han Yifeng at all! Although he knew that Xiaye had totally gotten over Han Yifeng, it just made him uncomfortable knowing that she had once given this man her love and attention. He did not mind her past, but he could not help getting jealous over losing her first love to someone else.

When Xi Xinyi noticed Mu Yuchen’s tone sounded unhappy, she looked at him and saw the dissatisfaction in his eyes. She gave it some thought and figured it out moments later!

She started getting envious of Xi Xiaye. How lucky was she for someone like Mu Yuchen to fall head over heels for her! She felt bitter when comparing Xi Xiaye to herself.

“I’m here to talk to you about this,” Mu Yuchen continued, “But I can’t do this alone. I need Qi Lei’s help.”

Mu Yuchen revealed his plan to Xi Xinyi. “I know that Qi Kai intends to expand externally, and Qi Kai has a project with the Han Corporation abroad. Qi Lei is in charge of these projects. I did some analysis and think it has great potential. Qi Kai and the Han Corporation are investing a lot into it. I suggested Qi Lei appoint an operating manager to stay over in the States, particularly focusing on this project.”

Xi Xinyi’s eyes widened, not able to believe what she just heard. “An operating manager in the States?”

“Yes, and this person will be working in Han Yifeng’s company on this project.”

“I know about that, but isn’t this project stuck at the moment? The plan is still far from being executable. Even if it runs, there are far more people suitable for this position…moreover, CEO Qi won’t agree to this.” Xi Xinyi seemed defeated.

“Didn’t Qi Lei go missing? We don’t even know if he’s alive. CEO Qi is getting frustrated. Moreover, he announced that he’s leaving Qi Kai.” She found her chance to be non-existent.

Mu Yuchen smiled. “Who do you think will be the actual person to take over Qi Kai? Will it be Qi Feng or Qi Lei?”

“Of course, it’ll be Qi Feng. Everyone in the company knows! It seems like Qi Lei left because of this too. CEO Qi has always been preparing to let Qi Feng take over the company, or else, he would’ve made Second Master Qi leave. Perhaps, he wanted to compensate him, hence he supported his decision to start a new company,” Xi Xinyi said.

Mu Yuchen put on a cold grin without saying anything as he quietly emptied his cup of tea.

“Do you have some kind of plan?” Xi Xinyi asked as he went quiet.

“Qi Feng being the one to take over Qi Kai isn’t set in stone. Just remember that. If Qi Lei becomes the owner of Qi Kai, you’ll be the operating manager in the States. This is the chance I’m fighting for you. You know very well what you need to give up,” Mu Yuchen said.

“I don’t care as long as you can let me stay near Yifeng. I don’t even care if I need to give Yueying to my sister, or I can just leave it to somebody,” Xi Xinyi said.

Mu Yuchen nodded. “It’s good that you have that resolved. What I need you to do now is to get Yue Hai to apply pressure on Qi Feng, and increase Qi Lei’s influence in Qi Kai. Both Yue Hai and you need to be on the same side as Qi Lei. Don’t worry. It’ll only benefit you if you do as I say. Being neutral isn’t the best option anymore. Qi Lei is Qi Qiming and Wang Qin’s son, so Qi Kai rightfully belongs to him.”

Xi Xinyi was stunned. He was fully supporting Qi Lei?

Xi Xinyi started contemplating it thoroughly…

Qi Feng had Qi Qiming and Doris backing him whereas Qi Lei only had Wang Qin’s subordinates and no one else, so how could he fight against Qi Feng?

Even if Mu Yuchen had his back, he was still an outsider after all, so how could he influence anything inside Qi Kai?

Then again, it was Mu Yuchen, and there was also Xi Xiaye’s influence as CEO of Fuhua. Qi Kai was gearing towards property development, was it not? She also heard that the ex-CEO of Fuhua, Shen Yue, had high expectations of Qi Lei!

There were also the enormous connections of the Mu family that could come into play. Qi Kai might as well have been in Qi Feng’s pocket already if the Gu family was backing him, but things had changed now. Mu Lingshi was Gu Qiwu’s daughter! Moreover, Doris and Gu Qiwu were divorced!

“Alright! Don’t worry, Brother-in-law. I’ll convince my uncle to support Second Master Qi! Though Second Master Qi is still missing…”

“His disappearance is the best chance we’ve got to deal a huge blow to Qi Feng, isn’t it? I can assure you that Qi Lei will be fine,” Mu Yuchen said calmly.
