All’s Fair In War (3)

Chapter 1055 Alls Fair In War 3 When Xi Xiaye boldly admitted what she did, Qi Lei looked at her meaningfully and chuckled. I thought youd tell me youre only doing this for business sake and thered be no personal feelings involved. Youre a smart man, so I should admit to my crime before you expose me. Xi Xiaye sighed before she said coldly, Im sure you know about the conflict between Gu Lingsha and me, and these conflicts exist because of the past, including the incident during my wedding with Mu Yuchen, Su Nans incident, and Ruan Heng still being unconscious at the momenteven my child, he almostLets just say I have plenty of reasons to hate her. Ive been holding myself back from telling you about all these due to your relationship with her. As a friend, I dont want you to feel awkward between us. However, Im not surprised that she asked you to talk to me about this. I just wanted to prove something, Xi Xiaye said. Qi Lei smiled bitterly. And its proven that I only have this much value. Actually, I already knew that even without you doing this, everything has changed over the years for both of us. Xi Xiaye returned his smile and said kindly, Im sure that a lot of things will change. After all, different environments nurture different abilities which then affect ones personality. Ive mentioned before that I feel extremely relatable towards you because we share similar experiences. Thats why I kind of understand how you feel. However, itll get better once you let go of it. Those who are truly strong possess the courage to face their past and bid their farewell. Theres no need for you to hesitate anymore. I suppose I should stop here since you probably know what I mean. Lets talk about the materials. Xi Xiaye paused when she noticed Qi Leis expression freeze. She flipped through the document he brought her again. Gu Lingsha is right. Our storage does indeed have these materials stocked up, but theres a shortage of it in the market at the moment. Regardless of that, we have plans to keep them and they are not meant for sale. Qi Lei was impressed with Xi Xiayes straightforwardness. He closed the document and smiled. Sure! Tell me your terms and Ill pass on the message. Of course, Ill be sure to tell them how much effort I put in to convince you. Ill consider it if Qi Kai offers 20% more than the price that was offered to Hua Heng. There are a lot of these materials and they need to be prepared in batches. If youre able to convince them, the 20% belongs to you. What do you think? Xi Xiaye grinned as she glanced at him. Qi Leis eyes widened in surprise. I get all of that extra 20%? Youre not earning anything then, are you? Why not? They are very focused on South River Project No. 2 right now, and youre having some issues with funds now too, arent you? She smiled back at him. Qi Lei paused, seeming confused. How do you know that Im having some financial difficulties? Its not really a secret. Just take this chance and grab the money since it belongs to Qi Kai anyway. Im just giving them back to you. Thats all I have to say. I guess it wont be difficult to convince them. They understand the value of South River Project No. 2 once its been completed, so they wont let go of this chance, Xi Xiaye said confidently. Qi Lei went quiet for a moment before asking, Why are you helping me like this? I can find ways on my own too. Xi Xiaye paused before she let out a giggle and shook her head. Its not just to help you. Im helping myself too. She took a sip from the cup of tea before she continued, I told you that I want to take revenge. Coincidentally, this could make them panic a little and lose focus, drawing their attention towards us, so that youll have more space to work with. Youre my friend, and I promised CEO Wang to look after you. In a daze, Qi Lei stared at the woman who was smiling before him while he felt a warmth inside his heart as if he was being embraced by an encompassing light. At that moment, he sighed. Sometimes I really wish I couldve met you guys earlier. Then, I wouldnt have had to waste my time before. It was really a dark period. Its never too late. You should go back and discuss with them now. Its up to you whether you can convince them or not, I have no other questions. To be frank, I cant possibly just take all that benefit alone. Think about it again after youve successfully convinced them. By the way, Qi Feng and Gu Lingshas wedding is happening soon. Take some time off and go back so that they dont give you so much attention. Understood. Alright, Ill head back for now. Ill probably be able to give you a reply, the latest by tomorrow afternoon, Qi Lei said as he stood up. Okay. Speaking of which, I have a question for you. Xi Xiaye suddenly remembered something she wanted to ask. Qi Lei raised his eyebrows. What is it? I heard that Gu Lingsha got into a fight with her mother, Doris. Do you? Xi Xiaye lowered her voice, trying to get something out of him. Doris? Qi Lei laughed. I must have forgotten to tell you if you hadnt mentioned it. Doris actually isnt very supportive of their marriage. Shes an extremist and her relationship with Gu Lingsha has been pretty rough ever since she ignored her advice and gave birth to Qi Weier. They never asked for Doriss opinion on their marriage as well. Just wait and see. Were in for a good show. He then packed his things and left.
