Chapter 1269: Those Who Scheme Have All Gathered Together

Qi Heng's little schemes were crystal clear to Zhu Qingrui.

Although he felt disdain, he still had to put on a show; he was "moved to tears," expressed his loyalty, and swore an oath that from now on he would follow the President's lead in everything.

If the President told him to go east, he would absolutely not go west, and he would never dare to act on his own again.

The two people, each harboring their own ulterior motives, sympathized with each other and reached a consensus, but Liu Min did not agree.

She went to the Presidential Office to find Qi Heng and demanded to know why he had let that man off the hook.

Her voice was very loud, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire: "A Heng, you lied to me, you have been lying to me all along, I am so heartbroken!"

Qi Heng did not have a single good impression of Liu Min, but since he needed to use her, he had to play along.

He personally juiced fruit for her and gently urged her to drink some juice to cool her temper and not be so angry.

Only then did he ask what he had done to make her sad.

Liu Min was full of fire, but because of his one gesture, more than half of it dissipated, though the grievance remained.

She asked aggrievedly: "That Office Director is Zhu Qingrui, he had plastic surgery, why did you lie to me?"

Qi Heng's face darkened, and he asked her who she heard that from.

He also flatly denied that such a thing existed and told her not to listen to other people's nonsense.

Liu Min: "The Protector of the Nation Great Mage said so, could what she says be false?"

Qi Heng:...

A headache.

Wang Yingzhi was no pushover either; he had known this for a long time, but he just hadn't expected her to bite back so quickly, actually revealing Zhu Qingrui's identity to Liu Min.

Of course, he could not admit it, so he said sternly: "The Protector of the Nation Great Mage is lying, or perhaps her ability is simply insufficient; her reputation is all exaggerated. You call her here, and we will confront her face-to-face."

Thus, the Protector of the Nation Great Mage was summoned to the Presidential Office.

Wang Yingzhi was not Liu Min; she had more schemes than Liu Min.

The President reprimanded her for spreading rumors and talking nonsense, and while his back was turned to Liu Min, he winked at her, telling her to admit it.

She seized the opportunity to negotiate terms with Qi Heng, asking for benefits, using cryptic language in front of Liu Min.

Qi Heng understood, but Liu Min did not.

He agreed; he knew the principle that one must give in order to receive.

Thus, Wang Yingzhi admitted in front of Qi Heng that what she had said to Liu Min was all lies, the purpose of which was, of course, to want that person dead.

Liu Min was temporarily pacified and left.

Since everyone's true colors had already been exposed, they might as well speak plainly.

Qi Heng asked her what she had come to L Country to do.

Was she sent by the Sheng Family to act as a spy?

She immediately denied it, swearing an oath that it wasn't so; her coming to L Country and to the Presidential Palace was all Ji Yingjie's idea, with the goal of making Zhu Qingrui unhappy, making him get out of the Presidential Palace, and killing him.

Easily, Ji Yingjie was betrayed.

Originally, the relationship between them was not solid, so it was normal for her to be betrayed.

Qi Heng smiled without smiling and asked: "Oh, so that was your plan. I was wondering why you were targeting my Office Director in everything; so it was for money."

"Stop working for Ji Yingjie; that woman is fierce and ruthless and has nothing good to offer. Why don't you work for me? As long as you have no second thoughts about me, I guarantee you wealth and status for a lifetime."

Wang Yingzhi was a bit tempted, but she still dared not believe his words: "How can you guarantee it?"

By character?

Don't joke.

A politician's character is not something to be relied upon; although Wang Yingzhi did not understand politics, she understood human nature.

Qi Heng: "We have a Diamond Mine in our country, you know that, right?"

She immediately beamed with joy, nodding like a chick pecking at rice as she replied: "I know, I know, that Diamond Mine is so famous, of course I know."

Qi Heng: "I want you to go to the Diamond Mine to be the Chairman, what do you think?"

"Really?"

Her eyes widened round, unable to believe that a pie falling from the sky would land on her head.

"Of course it's true, such a big matter, how could I be joking with you," Qi Heng said.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. President, I will definitely be a good Chairman, contribute more tax revenue to the country, and serve the President..." Wang Yingzhi immediately agreed and expressed her loyalty.

"Fine, then it's settled. You go take office tomorrow, and I will send people to protect your safety."

Wang Yingzhi agreed happily and left in high spirits.

Just after she left, Zhu Qingrui was summoned to the office.

A letter of appointment was placed in front of him, appointing him to go to the Diamond Mine to be the General Manager.

He wanted to agree; after all, it was a lucrative position, and no one would refuse.

But Qi Heng then told him: "Wang Yingzhi is the Chairman; you cannot do anything to her. If she has any mishap, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, I will prove it was you who did it."

Zhu Qingrui's face darkened: "What do you mean?"

"You want us all to be your pawns, right?"

Qi Heng admitted: "Yes, you don't have any other choice now, do you?"

He played a good game of chess, the goal still being to make them check each other, only moving the "battlefield" from the Presidential Palace to the Diamond Mine.

The Diamond Mine was one of the most valuable places in the country; they knew it, and Qi Heng knew it even better.

The previous Chairman and General Manager were too harmonious, which was very bad.

In the short term, their harmony was conducive to stability and unity, but in the long term, it was definitely more harm than good!

What was the use of subordinates being so harmonious?

In the long run, they would join forces to deal with him.

Only if their relationship is bad will it be most advantageous for him.

But someone without ability cannot shoulder this responsibility; if those with insufficient ability also engage in infighting, then there is no need to do anything at all, just spend the whole day playing power games.

Qi Heng has also been having a headache these days over the candidate for the Diamond Mine.

Now it is resolved, the best of both worlds.

Although Zhu Qingrui and Wang Yingzhi are both dissatisfied, neither is willing to give up this lucrative position, so they grumbled and took up their posts, and the Presidential Palace suddenly became quiet.

Qi Heng had some free time and thought of Shi Ran, but the news sent back from Jiangzhou made his mood plummet to the bottom, feeling particularly unpleasant.

Shi Ran and Yun Qitian have gone on their honeymoon.

The young couple is inseparable, incredibly sweet.

These two are like conjoined twins every day, appearing together in pairs, never leaving each other's side.

"Bastard."

"This is too much, Shi Ran, you are too much!"

Qi Heng lost control once again, smashing everything in the office to pieces.

He was completely unable to accept such a fact; he could not believe that all of this was real!

Right, it must not be real, it is fake!

It is impossible for Shi Ran to have a change of heart so quickly; he understands her personality, once she sets her mind on something, it is for a lifetime.

He is her first love, so he must be her forever!

Relying on a mysterious sense of confidence, Qi Heng rushed to the Maldives.

Shi Ran and Yun Qitian are here to hold their make-up honeymoon, and they have already been here for a week.

This morning, the young couple packed their luggage and took a private jet back to Jiangzhou.

The original plan was to spend ten days here, then go to other places to play, with a one-month travel plan to fully enjoy their honeymoon.
