1347 Comradeship 4When Doris said that, Glenn was in agreement. “Yes, Miss, don’t worry, I will arrange for that. However, on Qi Feng’s end…”

Glenn was unhappy with Qi Feng. He just wanted to wait for the fruits of victory instead of putting in too much effort, just as how he had got ten Morrison to send those details about Gu Qiwu over. Clearly, he was intentionally stalling for time. He must probably be planning on letting Qi Lei suffer longer…

Qi Kai would be having their shareholders meeting after the New Year, and Qi Qiming was already planning on handing his authority over. Qi Feng must be planning on letting Qi Lei out after this was done.

Doris and Glenn knew his motives very well!

“Qi Feng’s very sly. Someone like him is actually just perfect as a high-level advisor and isn’t suitable as someone in power or a decision-maker. If you compare them, he’ll lose to Mu Yuchen by miles. Even if he wants to push Qi Lei aside, would Mu Yuchen just sit there? Aren’t we being taken advantage of this time?”

When Qi Feng was brought up, Doris’s blue eyes could not hide her disdain. “He’s just an illegitimate son. If it were not for Shasha’s sake, I wouldn’t even want to look at someone like him. If we’re going to compare, Qi Lei must be stronger than he is. If you don’t believe me, then you can just watch. This time, if Qi Lei manages to get lucky and escape, once he comes back, good fortune will definitely rain on him,” Doris said carefully.

Glenn nodded, agreeing with this, “That’s right, especially Qi Qiming’s attitude towards Qi Lei right now. Qi Feng could long sense the crisis at hand. Otherwise, someone as reserved as him wouldn’t appear so uneasy.”

“Huh, as for Qi Feng, right now, we have to work with him, but we can’t let our guard down either, just in case they bite us back when the time comes. Also, Shasha’s feeling towards him is one of his trump cards too.” Doris’s eyes were filled with sharpness. Her gaze seemed to be able to see through Glenn’s eyes and see into his heart.

“Worry about this a little more right now. When we get back to England, I’ll help you get your wish. After all, you’ve been with me for so many years, so I won’t let you suffer,” she promised.

“Miss, you’re being too serious now. I’m just doing my part.”

Doris nodded and waved at him. She could not help but say while feeling slightly tired, “Go down first. I’m a little tired, and I want to rest alone for a bit.”

“Alright, Miss, please don’t be too worried. It’ll all work out when the time comes!” Glenn advised, then left.

At this moment, the sky outside was already bright, and it was going to be noon soon.

Glenn had just walked out of the room when the black-clothed man before him walked over to update him, “Mr. Glenn, earlier, a Mr. Morrison called. He said that he wants to meet Miss Doris and have dinner with our First Master Qi. Do you think…”

First Master Qi?

Qi Feng?

When Glenn heard that, a cold smile flitted across his mouth. He thought about it, then nodded. “Tell him I’ll be there. Let him decide on the time and venue,” he said before walking away in huge strides.

“Yes, Mr. Glenn!” the person responded, and then made way.

…

Close to noon, the rain began to slow down to a drizzle, and the winds were not that strong either. The entire city was much quieter than usual, especially right now by the South River.

The black Phaeton slowly stopped at the parking spot by the river. Li Si quickly opened the car door in front, and then held a large black umbrella to walk to the car behind.

“Master, Missus, we’re here!”

Then, he respectfully opened the door.

Mu Yuchen got down from the car in his usual cool manner while Li Si quickly put the umbrella over him. Mu Yuchen already turned to reach into the car as Xi Xiaye swiftly put her cold hands onto his palms and slowly got down from the car.

When he saw Xi Xiaye staggering and then steadying herself, he immediately frowned and looked at the heels on her feet. “Be careful. It’s a little slippery. Didn’t I just get you two pairs of flats recently?”

She held his arm and said, “I’m feeling a little pressured from your height just by standing beside you.”

“Men feel stressed out when women are too tall, so that is good.” He turned to squint as her with a faint smile.

Upon hearing that, Xi Xiaye was immediately a little smug. She quickly leaned gently against him and laughed softly. “Is that true? Does this make you feel like I’m a little bird relying on you?”

When Mu Yuchen heard that, he looked at her, and then saw her red outfit. He thought about it, then said in a lowered voice, “More like a red fox or a giant bird. I’ll let you choose between the two.”

“A little bird relying on a pig!” She turned poker and shot him a cold stare.

“Alright, little bird it is then. Let’s go.”

When he saw that she was annoyed, Mu Yuchen merely chuckled as he put his arms around her and practically held all of her underneath his coat while his other hand took the umbrella from Li Si before they walked down the stairs.

Xi Xiaye knew to not overdo it either. She followed him down the stairs as she said, “It’s not quite suitable for work to be ongoing right now since it’s going to be the end of the year soon. When the time comes, let them go home sooner for the holidays. It’ll be more convenient too. Otherwise, when the peak season during spring comes, they might not be able to rush back. The other day, I’ve reminded VP Zhang Lan that when the time comes, issue their salaries a few days earlier, and let everyone have a good New Year this year. Right, it’s time you chase after those larger debts you’ve got outside too, or else, when the second phase is on the agenda after the New Year, I’m worried that the cash flow will be a little tight. I’ve just shifted some funds from your end to make up for the materials.”

Even though Xi Xiaye did not hold a position at Glory World, she was quite aware of many things in the company, especially for the South River Project. To other people, she still held the position of Planning Director at Glory World, and Zhang Lan would frequently share about the South River Project with her too, especially in recent times when Mu Yuchen had not been managing company matters.

“You decide on it then. If it’s not enough, then get it from the card.” He was fine with anything. She was well aware of his assets anyway, and she was capable of managing the finances.

She looked at him and could not help but tease, “Aren’t you worried about letting me manage your private reserves? Aren’t you afraid I’ll run off with it?”

Mu Yuchen looked unfettered. “I’ll give it all to you. Are you sleeping in our room tonight?”

“Wow, you know how to throw money away recklessly now! Is this the prelude to becoming bad?” Xi XIaye smiled as her beautiful eyes brimmed with a faint warmth.
