Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Yuzhen drove while Ming Qu sat in the passenger seat.
Halfway through their journey, Ming Lai’s call came again.
However, this time was different from before. Ming Qu’s tone was not hostile at all.
Following her conversation, she asked Gu Yuzhen to stop the car.
“I’m going to meet someone. If Mr. Gu wants to follow me, I won’t mind.”
Ming Qu hooked her arm around his neck as she spoke, the smile on her face widening.
Just as she was about to leave, he grabbed her waist.
“As long as Mrs. Gu needs me, I’ll be at your service.”
The two of them got off the car before heading into an RV parked on the opposite street corner.
“Ming Qu?”
“Mr. An?”
As they shook hands, the middle-aged man’s gaze crossed over Ming Qu before landing on Gu Yuzhen. His eyes instantly lit up.
“President Gu.”
“An Xinnan.”
Ming Qu did not look surprised at all seeing that the two men seemed to be familiar. Instead, she was calm and composed.
She sat down on a soft chair by the window. After inviting Gu Yuzhen to have a seat as well, the man sat down before her.
Then, he handed over a leather bag to Ming Qu.
“This contains information about all of the Ming subsidiary companies that our An Group have worked with over the years. I had originally planned to destroy them, but I didn’t expect for Miss Ming to actually contact me.”
As he spoke, he looked over to Gu Yuzhen, as if seeking validation.
However, Gu Yuzhen had been fiddling with a silver lighter ever since he sat down, only looking up occasionally.
Ming Qu narrowed her eyes as she carefully flipped through the documents. Her expression altered between frowning and relaxing periodically.
After a while, she put the documents back into the leather bag before speaking to the middle-aged man in front of her. “Mr. An, I need you to send a message to these subsidiary companies that the chairman of the Ming Group has been pressuring you. Either terminate your contracts with them, or reduce them by five percent.”
“This… canceling the contracts or reducing them by 5%, aren’t these measures too extreme? After all, we’ve worked together for so long.”
“I’ll compensate you for any losses.”
Ming Qu’s words were unambiguous, and her clear eyes were filled with determination.
This behavior of hers was completely beyond her age.
The middle-aged man seemed to have wanted to refute, but before doing so, he glanced at Gu Yuzhen from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be paying attention, he reluctantly agreed.
Ming Qu took the leather bag before following Gu Yuzhen back to his car.
That night, Ming Qu stayed at Gu Yuzhen’s villa.
The paparazzi outside their window caught a glimpse of them as they shared an intimate moment.
The next morning, Ming Qu was woken up by the sound of birds chirping. Her first instinct was to check her phone, without noticing the man lying next to her.
He was naked, his muscular body laying bare.
Ming Qu glanced at him, and her face instantly turned hot. She quickly turned on her phone, pretending not to have noticed anything. However, the discomfort in her lower body reminded her of what had happened last night.
“Ming family’s internal strife”
She opened Weibo to find this trending as a hot topic.
However, it was only in the middle of the list… It wasn’t trending enough. It would soon be pushed down by newer topics.
Ming Qu immediately exited the site after a brief look.
It was already up there, she wouldn’t let it fall back down.
At the thought of this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
She put on some clothes before quietly leaving the bedroom.
The door to Gu Yuzhen’s study was electronically locked, but he had told the password to her last night.
Ming Qu entered the room with no difficulty, using his computer to log into an account. Soon, the screen was filled with lines of code.
A square layout appeared on the page not long after.
The top left corner revealed what she had accessed: Weibo’s backend data!
It turned out that Ming Qu had faked an identity as a hacker to easily gain access to the backend of Weibo’s headquarters, enabling her to manipulate the site.
Finding the entry regarding the Ming family, she clicked on it a few times, and the numbers soared.
She checked her phone. The entry had already taken first place. In just a few seconds, the number of views had exceeded 100 million.
As Ming Qu had been focused on the background data, the keypad on the door of the study suddenly rang.
