Chapter 569: Someone You Absolutely Can't Afford to Offend
Tianyun Capital, inside Shang Qi's office.
Wen Ting stood by watching her boss and lover on the phone, listening carefully to everything he said.
She thought she might hear something amusing, but who would have expected to see Shang Qi's expression drastically change!
As mentioned before, she willingly got involved with Shang Qi during college, attracted by his air of a casually successful person.
Everything about him suggested that any problem could be easily solved.
She didn't care whether Shang Qi had a wife.
Anyway, I will have a husband in the future too.
—Equality between men and women.
Since coming to Shanghai, she rarely saw this expression on Shang Qi's face.
The last time was when Bao Fan invited Cheng Zhu to dinner.
Huh, why is everything about Cheng Zhu!
After the call ended, she immediately asked, "What happened?"
Shang Qi frowned and said, "No wonder, no wonder there was no movement from Cheng Zhu or your husband's side all day yesterday."
"Normally, it would have only taken two or three days, and they would have been anxious."
"I didn't expect they were slow because they invited a big shot to help!"
"Well, that makes sense now."
He previously found it odd, and now everything made sense!
Wen Ting heard this and asked, "A big shot?"
"Yes, Zhao Qing said that Zhang Wei refused to say who it was, only said three words: 'can't say.'" Shang Qi felt a bit of a headache.
"Can't say?" Wen Ting was taken aback for a moment.
"Yeah, that's even more intriguing than saying you're scared!" Shang Qi's eyes narrowed slightly beneath his gold-rimmed glasses, his tone sinking.
For a moment, Wen Ting didn't know what to say, just muttered, "Who on earth did they find?"
After a few seconds, this elegant and gentle woman, who was actually unstoppable inside, asked, "So the review can't be blocked?"
"Of course! How could it be blocked now?" Shang Qi was speechless.
He looked at Wen Ting and said, "I told Zhao Qing, any small tricks we were planning, we have to stop them too, better not burn ourselves."
Wen Ting nodded.
It's better to land one strong blow than endure a hundred weak punches!
Cheng Zhu handled this matter beautifully, directly serving as a deterrent, making any underhanded and sleazy tricks impossible to play.
If they had just found someone to solve the problem, Zhao Qing would surely have had another move.
But according to the feedback from Zhang Wei, the current situation is that the big shot was just there to give a heads-up.
No further action was taken.
But if the heads-up has been given and you still don't take the hint...
Then apologies!
In the office, Wen Ting sighed softly, feeling a bit regretful.
Shang Qi felt it too, but remained confident in his words.
"Forget it, in a direct showdown, Cheng Zhu and your husband's side wouldn't have benefited in the early stages anyway." He tapped his finger rhythmically on the table.
"[Paipai] is currently riding a wave of momentum, with major platforms vying for users during the summer break, Cheng Zhu picked the wrong time."
"Moreover, inviting a big shot this time probably came at a considerable cost."
"I don't know if he was too anxious and used all his cards, or if he really knows how to handle things like this."
"In any case, he really won this round, and handled it incredibly well!" Shang Qi's eyes dimmed slightly.
Fortunately, both he and Zhao Qing understood that even with underhanded tactics, no matter how well the other side handled it, it would still be their gain!
They only had Zhang Wei block a review for you.
But who did you have to deploy on your side?
You ended up owing a favor to a big shot!
Although they can't meddle with you anymore, allowing you to develop safely, it still looks like you lost.
Shang Qi continued, "I've already told Zhao Qing, we can spend more money on publicity these days."
Wen Ting replied, "That's all we can do."
They can no longer interfere with the app from Cheng Zhu and Zhang Sixing!
...
...
Shanghai, Huaxing Capital.
Bao Fan sat in his office, pouring Wang Xin a cup of tea.
At that moment, his phone rang, the caller was Zhang Wei.
The conversation between them ended quickly, with Bao Fan only saying one sentence: "Okay, I got it."
Wang Xin looked up and asked, "What happened?"
Boss Bao's eyes narrowed slightly beneath his glasses, he replied, "Didn't I tell you earlier that Shang Qi and Zhao Qing have started causing trouble for Cheng Zhu?"
"Yes."
"I knew this was handled by Zhang Wei, I was a bit curious how Cheng Zhu would solve it, so I asked him to report to me about it." Bao Fan said.
"Was that the report just now?" Wang Xin probed further.
"Yes."
"What did he say?"
"He said it passed the review immediately, saying not a moment of delay. " Bao Fan chuckled, "Since he said so, I didn't press further, didn't ask who intervened, because asking would be pointless, and it would embarrass him."
Wang Xin nodded, suddenly finding the top-grade tea in his hand, once fragrant and overflowing, suddenly tasteless.
Given the grudge between him and Cheng Zhu, he surely hoped Cheng Zhu would hit a snag.
What a pity!
"It seems Little Cheng has more confidence than we expected." Wang sighed.
Bao Fan nodded, in a tone that was a bit regretful, said, "I'm growing increasingly fond of this Little Cheng."
In his view, Cheng Zhu's moves on two occasions were remarkably well-played.
The first time was a proactive strike, spreading sensational news about himself and Bao Fan.
The news was so sensational, and his actions were so arrogant, that the entire investment circle was feverishly gossiping, the hype was just too strong.
