Chapter 306: The storm will only be more violent

Shen Ci feigned shock, but her heart was blooming with joy.

Everything had turned into a mess; she had to drink it while it was hot!

At this moment, Lawyer Qin Yu, whom Shen Ci had invited to help, also walked out of the hotel elevator. He didn't know the specific situation; he only knew that Miss Shen said she needed a favor, so he came.

Seeing Qin Yu, Shen Ci deliberately raised her voice and shouted: "Lawyer Qin!"

"Miss Shen!"

Qin Yu walked over and looked at the inexplicable farce unfolding, also looking confused: "What's going on? Do you need help?"

Shen Ci showed a look of embarrassment and shook her head gently: "I don't know either. It looks like a bit of trouble."

Seeing that the lawyer had also arrived, Ji Yongxiu couldn't care about anything else and roared at the two people chattering beside him: "Enough! I really am here to talk about work today. Can you two stop making a scene!"

This shout actually caused the two noisy people to fall into a brief stupor. Seeing this, Ji Yongxiu hurriedly seized the opportunity to rush to Shen Ci: "Miss Shen, I'm sorry, there's a bit of a misunderstanding. Shall we go to the lounge and sit down to talk?"

Shen Ci helplessly raised her hand to make a gesture to stop the conversation: "Mr. Ji, you had better handle your personal problems first. As for the cooperation, I think we should discuss it from the beginning."

Before Ji Yongxiu could speak, Shen Ci looked directly at Qin Yu and said: "I'm sorry, Lawyer Qin, for making you come for nothing. Let's go."

Qin Yu had no idea what had happened, but he still nodded.

Ji Yongxiu was anxious: "Miss Shen, Miss Shen, don't let my personal affairs delay such an important cooperation between us. Look, you've even brought your lawyer. Signing a contract won't take much time!"

He looked earnest, and sweat was already flowing down his forehead.

As refined as he was, he had never had such a disheveled moment.

With his path blocked, Shen Ci had to stop. She stared at Ji Yongxiu for a long time before saying softly: "But now I feel that your personal lifestyle has problems, and your moral character has defects. I need to think more carefully about the cooperation."

"I originally intended to sign the contract with your company today, but now it seems it's a pity."

This sentence was a fatal blow. Ji Yongxiu felt as if the sky had collapsed!

"Excuse me." Shen Ci said the last three words with a cold face, turned sideways to bypass the stunned Ji Yongxiu, and walked quickly out of the hotel.

When Qin Yu passed by him, he also cast a look of disdain.

And it was only at this moment that Zhou Sihan and Xu Yuanyuan realized that they seemed to have really delayed Ji Yongxiu's big event.

But his deceit and infidelity, and the fact that he was a bastard, were also true.

For a time, the two had complex inner struggles—one moment resentment and anger toward Ji Yongxiu, the next a surge of guilt.

"The contract worth over two hundred thousand..."

Ji Yongxiu slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and glaring at the two of them with fury, gritting his teeth: "The contract worth over two hundred thousand! Are you two crazy or what!"

"Get out!"

"Get out of here immediately! Never let me see you again!"

Zhou Sihan had a slightly tougher personality, and the little bit of guilt in her heart vanished with Ji Yongxiu's final attitude. She nodded with a look of realization: "Fine, just consider my three years of youth fed to the dogs!"

After saying this, she left without looking back.

Xu Yuanyuan loved him more deeply and had a softer personality. At that moment, she still tried to salvage something, wanting to step forward and pull Ji Yongxiu's hand: "Yongxiu..."

"Get out!"

Ji Yongxiu shouted, the veins on his forehead appearing due to anger, which startled Xu Yuanyuan into shivering and taking two steps back.

Then, tears filled her eyes, and she cried and ran out, feeling wronged.

Shen Ci was very satisfied with everything that happened today. Every step and timing was perfectly appropriate.

And today, these were just appetizers; the storm to follow would only be more violent!

Li Wanchang had been waiting for Ji Yongxiu's good news. When the time reached ten o'clock at night and he still hadn't received Ji Yongxiu's call, he couldn't help but call him.

"What? You didn't sign it? You didn't sign it again?"

Getting the result, Li Wanchang was extremely angry: "Didn't you swear to me that this time it would be absolutely foolproof? Is this the explanation you give me? It was in vain that I thought so highly of you!"

"Chairman, don't get angry. There was a little accident this time. Everything was going very smoothly."

"I don't want to hear these excuses. I only want to see the result I want. If you can't do it, get out early, and I'll hand it over to someone else to do!"

"I know, Chairman. However, although we didn't sign with her, other groups haven't made any moves either. We still have a chance. Today was truly an accident!"

Li Wanchang's vigilance rose: "She doesn't know you're from the Li family, does she?"

"No, she has never seen me, and she has never had any doubts about my identity."

"So today was an accident caused by your negligence?"

Ji Yongxiu paused, his heart heavy, but in the end, he had to admit it: "Yes, Chairman, it is my fault. I'm sorry."

Li Wanchang took a long breath, trying to keep himself from being too emotional.

Because he really valued Ji Yongxiu; his ability to handle things had always been reassuring, and this was the first time he had made frequent mistakes.

But the project was huge, and twists and turns in the middle were unpredictable.

Li Wanchang comforted himself while giving Ji Yongxiu an ultimatum: "Once, twice, but not a third time. This is your last chance. If you can't sign it, you know the consequences. Even if I don't fire you, don't even think about entering the board of directors in the future!"

Hearing that he still had one more chance, Ji Yongxiu felt relieved and repeatedly promised that he would never let the Chairman down again.

Shen Ci returned to school. Passing by the small playground on the west side, she saw Pili live-streaming from afar, and quite a few students were sitting around on the stone steps watching.

Lianxing was also among them.

"Why is she still streaming? It's already ten o'clock!"

Shen Ci walked over and sat down, startling Lianxing.

"Why are you back so late?" Lianxing asked subconsciously.

"Had dinner with a friend."

She had made Lawyer Qin run for nothing, and since she had asked him to help, she couldn't not treat him to a meal. She might need to trouble him again in the future.

Lianxing nodded and looked at Pili not far away. Many students at the University of Science and Technology worked part-time as live streamers. Some streamed in the dorms, some on the playground. There were singers and dancers, and the playground was always lively at night.

"Pili said the guild adjusted her streaming time. The traffic peak at night is higher than during the day, so she doesn't stream in the morning anymore. She compressed the time to stream at night until eleven o'clock, just in time for the dorms to close."

Mentioning the guild, Shen Ci suddenly remembered: "Weren't they going to provide her with a professional team? Did they?"

Lianxing shook her head: "Not yet. It shouldn't be that fast, right?"

There will be an extra update in half an hour. Still writing.
