Ye Xunhuan didn't know what conspiracy was lurking behind this, nor who was collaborating with Yan Qingdi.
Now Ye Xunhuan had already parted ways with Wu Mei and returned to the Huangtu Group.
At this moment, in the president's office of the Huangtu Group, Qiu Ruoxi sat in front of her desk, staring intently at the computer screen in front of her, her face filled with solemnity.
Opposite Qiu Ruoxi sat Wei Zixu.
"Qiu Ruoxi, don't keep that stern face all the time," Wei Zixu couldn't help but say while looking at Qiu Ruoxi's tensed and frost-filled pretty face. "Everything here is Yan Qingdi's doing. You've got to find a way to deal with him!"
Wei Zixu considered himself a well-informed guy and had come across all kinds of women, but he had to admit, among all the women he'd ever met, Qiu Ruoxi was the coldest, bar none.
This coldness seemed almost innate, as if it seeped into the bones and blood.
Wei Zixu was curious as to how Ye Xunhuan managed to face Qiu Ruoxi every day.
Sure, Qiu Ruoxi was beautiful, but keeping such a stern face all the time was pretty intimidating!
If he, Wei Zixu, had such a wife, he'd definitely find it unbearable.
At this moment, Wei Zixu was really curious as to how Ye Xunhuan put up with it.
"Didn't you say he ran away? How am I supposed to deal with him?" Qiu Ruoxi abruptly looked up, casting a glance at Wei Zixu. "And even if Yan Qingdi were here, what could I do to him?"
"Everything relies on evidence!"
"To hell with evidence, just act!" Wei Zixu said nonchalantly. "Do you think talking about evidence with him will achieve anything?"
Qiu Ruoxi chose to ignore Wei Zixu and turned her gaze back to the computer screen.
In the next moment, Qiu Ruoxi's hands flew across the keyboard at a rapid pace.
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi ignore him again, Wei Zixu's heart was filled with helplessness.
He was here to help, so why was this woman treating him !
"Qiu Ruoxi, staring at the computer won't help; your company's stocks will keep dropping while you watch!" Wei Zixu said helplessly. "Besides, the market is about to close soon, stop watching, and think about how to find Yan Qingdi..."
"No need to look!" Qiu Ruoxi said without even looking up. "Since you've already discovered him, he'll definitely hide, and I believe he will reach out to me!"
After all, Qiu Ruoxi and Yan Qingdi met during their school years, so it's completely untrue to say she doesn't know him at all.
Given her previous understanding of Yan Qingdi, Qiu Ruoxi was sure Yan Qingdi would call.
Qiu Ruoxi thought Wei Zixu's words were nonsense and chose not to respond.
Looking at the silent Qiu Ruoxi, Wei Zixu couldn't help but sigh. He genuinely admired Ye Xunhuan, daring to marry such a woman.
Life after marriage must be incredibly dull!
With Qiu Ruoxi silent, Wei Zixu didn't say anything further, simply sitting quietly opposite her, taking out his phone and starting to play a mobile game.
Qiu Ruoxi, on the other hand, was not going to worry about Wei Zixu; her mind was entirely focused on Huangtu Group's stocks at the moment, leaving her no time to deal with Wei Zixu!
As time ticked away, it finally reached the stock market's closing time.
As soon as the market closed, Qiu Ruoxi let out a long breath of relief. Fortunately, today's stock market stabilized, and even if it continued to fall when it opened tomorrow, they could hold on, provided her team operated well.
At this moment, the phone on Qiu Ruoxi's desk suddenly started ringing.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Qiu Ruoxi instinctively picked up the phone and answered it without even looking.
As soon as Qiu Ruoxi spoke, a low voice immediately penetrated her ears: "Ruoxi, doesn't it feel uncomfortable watching your money evaporate without a trace?"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Qiu Ruoxi's face subtly changed, and she coldly replied, "Thanks to your doing!"
Wei Zixu, who was playing a game beside her, immediately paused and focused his attention on Qiu Ruoxi.
Could Yan Qingdi have really called Qiu Ruoxi?
Indeed, the person calling Qiu Ruoxi was none other than Yan Qingdi.
"Ruoxi, you can't say it like that. If you hadn't plotted against me first, would I have done this?" Yan Qingdi said indifferently. "But you've been ruthless, huh, allowing me to be humiliated in front of all the media!"
"But now, your situation has overshadowed mine."
"Yan Qingdi, do you think this will make you defeat me in the business arena?"
"There's no absolute in this world!" Yan Qingdi said softly. "Only in the end will we know the result."
"Fine, I'll let you see who wins and who loses!"
"Ruoxi, there's something I don't understand. Can you clear it up for me?"
"Why are you doing this to me?" Yan Qingdi's voice suddenly became more intense. "I haven't done anything to wrong you, have I?"
"Yan Qingdi, do you remember what you said at the orphanage?"
Yan Qingdi was startled, almost instinctively asking, "What did I say?"
"You really are forgetful." Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly. "But let me remind you, I hate it when people gossip, creating trouble before others, especially criticizing my husband!"
"Though he may indeed be wrong in many ways, it's not your place, Yan Qingdi, to utter a word." Qiu Ruoxi stated icily. "You are not qualified, nor are you worthy!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingdi immediately recalled the scene of meeting Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi at the orphanage after Ye Xunhuan returned from Beijing, and saying something about Beijing.
After this recollection, Yan Qingdi's pupils suddenly contracted on the other end of the phone. Yan Qingdi never imagined in his wildest dreams that Qiu Ruoxi would scheme against him over such a trivial matter, especially considering what he said was true!
"What I said was the truth..."
"Were you hoping to see a rift between us?" Qiu Ruoxi said disdainfully. "Yan Qingdi, stop dreaming. Even if I'm not with Ye Xunhuan, you wouldn't stand a chance!"
"Fine, fine!" Yan Qingdi laughed angrily. "Qiu Ruoxi, let's see who comes out on top this time!"
"It's not about who comes out on top." Qiu Ruoxi corrected earnestly. "It's about you being defeated by me."
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi's bold and domineering declaration, Wei Zixu's face immediately showed a look of admiration.
This woman was indeed overwhelmingly dominant and cool, just like a reincarnation of Empress Wu Zetian!
In that moment, Wei Zixu suddenly thought that Qiu Ruoxi was actually quite adorable!
