Qin Xinying narrowed her eyes, stood up and looked at Qin Benyuan, and her eyes had a gleam of excitement. She asked, “Dad, are you suggesting telling this to Grandpa Tang?” She paused and continued, “But now we don’t know where he is. How can we tell this to him?”

“Silly girl.” Qin Benyuan said with a smile. “This news was just released. He might not know it now, but he will surely know it after he comes back to the capital. If he finds out his granddaughter gives up her shares for a bodyguard, what will happen to him? He may not be able to process it and then the Empire Group will fall into chaos!”

Qin Benyuan said and sneered. “Then the Tang family people will surely not miss the chance. They will try their best to push the Empire Group into an abyss.” Then he would teach that woman a good lesson! How dare she extort money from him?! He was not going to tolerate it!

Qin Xinying still frowned when she heard this. She said, “But why did Tang Xi disappear in the past few months? I’m a bit worried that she has some trump card up her sleeve.”

Qin Benyuan patted on Qin Xinying’s shoulder. “It’s alright. Don’t worry. It’s good for you that Tang Xi hooked up with a bodyguard. Now you can go back to City A and get Qiao Liang. As long as you marry that rich man, we don’t have to fear the Empire Group anymore!”

Qin Xinying frowned at Qin Benyuan and said seriously, “I want to be with him not because of his money but because I love him.”

“Okay, I know.” Qin Benyuan smiled as he said, “Now the Qiao’s International Group has dominated the whole business circle of City A. I’ve read the financial news that the Qiao’s International Group has purchased several promising companies at a lightning speed. I think the Qiao’s is gonna surpass the Empire Group soon. Although the Qiao’s is in City A and the Empire Group is in the capital, business is not limited by geography. You want to see how frustrated Tang Xi is after seeing you are together with Qiao Liang, right?”

Qin Xinying gradually clenched her hands and frowned as she said firmly, “Now Qiao Liang is still lost. I’ll let him know who is the one who really cares about him, who is the one who deserves to stand side by side with him!I’ll surely marry Qiao Liang!”

The smile on Qin Benyuan’s face spread when he heard this. Suddenly he remembered something, he took two drawings out of a drawer and handed them to Qin Xinying, saying, “By the way, I’ve found another two design drawings. I think their style is similar to your previous works, so I bought them from a student at a high price. Take a look. Do you think they can be used in the fashion week?”

Qin Xinying had been worrying about how to deal with this fashion week, and the design drawings that Qin Benyuan gave her before were not quite satisfactory in her opinion. Now when she saw these design drawings, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Qin Benyuan in excitement and said happily, “Dad, where did you find these design drawings? I’m sure they will be popular at fashion week!”

Qin Benyuan laughed when he heard Qin Xinying’s words. He reached out to pat on Qin Xinying’s shoulder and said, “You don’t have to worry about anything. As long as you’re recognized as the genius designer, you’ll get anything you want,and Qiao Liang will notice you sooner or later. What time is your flight?”

“I’ll fly to Paris on Wednesday. My flight will take off at ten o’clock tonight.” Qin Xinying said, “I have to show the design drawings to the design director, so I can’t stay here too long. Keep an eye on Tang Xi in case she will bring us trouble!”

Tang Xi seemed to have known she had a part in that air crash. Although Tang Xi didn’t say anything, she knew she was waiting for a chance to take revenge!

“Don’t worry. She won’t bring us any trouble!” Qin Benyuan smiled in contempt and said, “She is not as smart as we thought. She didn’t ask about our projects’ benefits any more after I gave her merely over eighty million Yuan. So stupid! Tomorrow I will go to the finance department of the Empire Group and ask them to sign the contract with us. After we sign the contract, Tang Xi won’t be able to do anything.” Seeing Qin Xinying looking at him dubiously, Qin Benyuan said complacently, “Have faith in me. I have some “old friends” in the Empire Group. It was just not convenient for me to use these relationships before.”

Now that Tang Xi had accepted his houses, they could use relationships now! If the Empire Group people knew Tang Xi took bribery…

The directors wouldn’t let her off, even if he didn’t do anything!

Qin Benyuan gave a smug smile. No matter how smart Tang Xi was, she was just a young girl still wet behind the ears in front of him. She was simply no match for him!

Tang Xi and Qiao Liang were not together now. Qiao Liang went to attend the state banquet with the identity of Qiao Liang, and she would do it too with the identity of the Empire Group’s CEO. As everyone knew, they had broken up, so they couldn’t go to the Great Hall in the same car.

Tang Xi sitting in the car made a call. The other side soon answered the phone, and Tang Xi said, “There are three property ownership certificates in my office. Sell them, put the money into the company’s account and book it as the bonus from the Qin’s Group. By the way, find out how many benefits the Qin’s Group has received from the projected we invested, and send the statement to the Qin’s Group tomorrow morning. Then ask our CFO to go to the Qin’s Group to ask them to pay us dividends because we’re suffering losses. If they refuse, we’ll sue the Qin’s Group on charges of embezzlement.”

The other side asked Tang Xi why she wanted to do this. Tang Xi took a look at her assistant and coldly said, “I think I’ve just told you the reason. I hope you can show me your efficiency before I come back on Friday. And I hope that you, the legal department, won’t let me down.”

When the car reached the Great Hall of the People, Tang Xi got out of the car and entered the Great Hall as led by a security guard. The state banquet was held to welcome the president of a small country. Tang Xi had thought she might see the business elites of that country, but to her surprise, she only saw famous stars. She raised her eyebrows, found her seat and looked around to search for Qiao Liang.

At this time, Qiao Liang entered the Great Hall, and the crowd was in an uproar, and even that president’s eyes lit up. Qiao Liang was about to go toward Tang Xi, when someone called to him. Qiao Liang looked back and raised his eyebrows as he called out, “Mr. Xiao.”
