74: Equipment everywhere

Jiang Chuan noticed Little Green Tea pushing the door open and walking in; he made a shushing gesture, signaling her to be quiet.

Feng Qiqi didn't know what was happening yet, so she stayed silent and obedient. Seeing the "equipment" scattered all over the floor, she happily started picking them up. They were all expensive nutritional supplements, and she was mentally counting their value.

"One thousand! Three thousand! Wow! This one costs five thousand yuan!"

Zhang Linlin quickly reached an agreement with the other party: ten million in exchange for her forgiveness. Returning the phone to the other person, she said somewhat sheepishly, "Am I being too greedy for money?"

"What? What greed?"

Feng Qiqi, clutching ginseng in her arms, her eyes lit up at the mention of money, and she hurriedly asked.

"The other party's father offered me ten million to forgive them."

Feng Qiqi was shocked upon hearing this. "There's such a good deal? What's his son's name? I want him to beat me up too!"

Speechless, Jiang Chuan pushed away Little Green Tea, who had sidled up to him, and said casually, "There's nothing greedy about it; most people would make that choice. I just don't care about that small amount of money, so don't compare yourself to me."

Feng Qiqi nodded repeatedly, showing that she fully agreed. If given the chance, she'd take a beating too! She was even a bit impatient, already thinking about how to spend all that money.

Suddenly feeling something was off, she turned back and looked at the man with a strange gaze, complaining in her heart, "What do you mean 'that small amount'? It's ten million! Well, okay, he does have many ten millions!"

Zhang Linlin felt a bit better. She had been very afraid that Jiang Chuan would think she was a woman who only cared about money; after everything that happened, she was quite sensitive about financial matters.

Jiang Chuan patted his pants and stood up, saying, "Alright, Little Green Tea, you stay here with her. I'm going to the company to check things out and will come to relieve you tonight!"

"You're the Little Green Tea! Just go already; I need to bond with my rich sister!"

"Bye-bye."

Zhang Linlin watched him walk away, her gaze lingering reluctantly. It took a while for her to snap out of it, only to find that the woman beside her was acting exactly the same, making no effort to hide her affection.

"Sister, are you dating him?"

Feng Qiqi came to her senses and pouted slightly, saying resentfully, "I'd like to, but there are too many girls around him. I don't know when it'll be my turn."

Zhang Linlin thought of the cute and sweet yet hot-bodied Xiao Yi, and the cold, noble Shen Qingning who seemed like a goddess descended to earth, and she began to understand.

Although they were very beautiful, compared to those two, it seemed like they were only beautiful.

"By the way, I'm Zhang Linlin."

"What a coincidence, I'm Feng Qiqi. Both our names have repeating characters! How about we team up to deal with that She-devil?"

Zhang Linlin: ???

"Is this even Chinese? The world has finally turned into something crazier than I could have imagined!"

Starlight, General Manager's Office

Shen Qingning took small bites of a sandwich while reviewing detailed information on Sunset's top Streamers.

After finishing breakfast and gathering her thoughts, she began calling the three people listed in the documents.

The lower-level employees weren't aware of Sunset's true situation, but they could still sense the recent instability; the expressions on the executives' faces were not good.

Following the information provided by Jiang Chuan, Shen Qingning easily reached agreements with the three. As long as the information was confirmed to be accurate, they would join Starlight.

She let out a soft sigh of relief. She wasn't very good at communicating with people, but fortunately, Sunset's current situation was so dire that she was able to complete the task successfully.

After notifying Wang Jing to come to the office, she began processing the stack of documents on the desk.

"Knock! Knock!"

"Come in."

Wang Jing pushed the door open. Looking at the girl sitting in the boss's chair, she felt even more pressure than she did with President Jiang. She walked cautiously to the desk and asked, "President Shen, what are your instructions?"

Shen Qingning continued to process documents with her head down, saying, "The news about Sunset poaching Xiao Yi, as well as the recording of Sun Zhenfeng's offer to President Jiang, can all be released now."

"Did President Jiang have any arrangements regarding how far we should go?"

Shen Qingning looked up at the girl standing before her and said calmly, "No, but he asked me to poach Sunset's top Streamers."

Wang Jing didn't dare to meet her gaze and quickly lowered her head, replying, "Understood, President Shen. I'll get right on it."

"Here are the funds you applied for as well. Take them with you."

"Yes, President Shen!"

Seeing the other party exit the room respectfully, Shen Qingning felt somewhat helpless. She didn't understand why people in the company were so afraid of her; clearly, that bad man was much scarier.

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she continued processing the piles of documents. She hadn't expected him to handle so much work usually; it seemed his breakfast needed to be even more nutritious.

Jiang Chuan entered the company and went to Shen Qingning's office on the eighth floor. He knocked, but there was no response.

Pushing the door open, he saw no one inside. Yawning, he walked to the lounge where Sister Ning usually took her afternoon naps. Lying on the bed and smelling her unique scent, he fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Jing moved quickly. Once she confirmed the boss's intentions, she spent a large amount of money to spread all the news. She felt that Sunset's curtain was about to fall.

Sunset Company

Sun Zhenfeng had already arranged for a lawyer to handle the matter. Upon receiving Zhang Linlin's letter of forgiveness, he immediately transferred the funds to her.

One problem was solved, but a heavy stone still weighed on his heart: who could the company be sold to? Jiang Chuan was out of the question; their grudge was deepening, and reconciliation was no longer possible.

He had feelings for Sunset, but he was currently penniless, and now was not the time to dwell on useless sentimentality. He picked up his phone and called companies that had previously shown interest.

"Hello, President Liu? It's Old Sun. Regarding what we discussed before, have you reached a decision?"

"Old Sun, I don't have that much capital on hand. You should ask someone else. I have things to do, hanging up now."

Sun Zhenfeng didn't mind the busy tone; if this one didn't work, he'd just try the next.

However, everyone he called next rejected him without hesitation; even lowering the price had no effect.

Until finally, a close friend told him bluntly, "Old Sun, stop wasting your effort. It won't sell. Go look at the news online."

Sun Zhenfeng also felt something was wrong. Previously, even if these people didn't want to buy, they wouldn't have rejected him so bluntly without giving him any face.

After thanking him and hanging up, he quickly opened Weibo to see what was going on.

Upon opening it, he saw the recording of Sunset poaching Starlight's top Streamer, Xiao Yi—exactly what he had arranged.

Looking further down, Starlight had issued a public notice condemning such unfair competition. He sneered inwardly, "It's just poaching someone; what's the big deal?"

But there was another video below. Seeing the familiar figure in the video, his pupils constricted. Just as he was about to open it, he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

"President Sun, President Chen from Silver Star is here and wants to see you."

Sun Zhenfeng put his phone down. The other party coming at this time must have a purpose. He said loudly, "Let him in."

"Old Sun, I'd come in even if you didn't let me."

Chen Xu didn't stand on ceremony at all, pushing the door open and speaking with a smile.
