Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Cover the Sky with One Hand_1
Yu Keqing flatly refused, saying, "What’s the point? I won’t be going!"
"If by eight o’clock tonight I don’t see you at the Qinhuang Grand Hotel, just on the grounds that you’ve driven Huanmei Group into bankruptcy, I can hold you legally responsible. By then, you’ll be facing compensation of tens of billions, and you’ll also end up in prison."
"On what basis can you hold me legally responsible? What law have I broken?"
"On the basis of the Qin Family, isn’t that enough? If the Qin Family says you’ve broken the law, then you have broken the law. If the Qin Family demands billions in compensation, you’ll have to pay billions in compensation. Because, the Qin Family is the law!"
"Do you mean the Qin Family can cover the sky with one hand without any regards to justice?"
"Of course, we can!"
Qin Dongrui opened his dog-like mouth and suddenly spewed out a puff of smoke, spraying it onto Yu Keqing’s pretty face. She was choked by the smoke and hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Either you show me sincerity tonight, or tomorrow I’ll send you to prison. Just serving time won’t be enough, you’ll also face tens of billions in compensation. If things really come to that, your life will be over. Think about your three-year-old daughter, what will she do after you’re sent to prison?"
As soon as Yu Keqing heard Qin Dongrui using her daughter as leverage, she immediately became agitated.
She cursed out loud, "Qin Dongrui, you are truly scum!"
"Yu Keqing, it’s not easy for a woman to raise a daughter alone. An intelligent woman knows to find a man to rely on. Although I can’t offer you marriage, I can let you be my lover. As long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I can guarantee you and Duoduo a life of wealth and honor. From then on, no one will dare to bully you and your daughter."
"Qin Dongrui, give up on that idea! I won’t go!"
"It’s still early before eight o’clock tonight, think it over well. You are a smart woman, surely you can understand the severity of this. Even if you won’t think about yourself, you have to consider Duoduo! As a mother, you should selflessly sacrifice for your daughter. If you end up in prison, no one will be there for Duoduo. She’ll have to be sent to an orphanage, where the other children will bully her every day."
Having said that, Qin Dongrui left.
He knew his daughter was Yu Keqing’s weak spot. Threatening this stern woman with Duoduo was bound to be successful.
Qin Dongrui, that scum, would definitely do as he said.
Yu Keqing, unable to contain her rage, grabbed the purple box and hurled it at the door with all her might.
The box opened mid-air, and the small item inside flew out.
Just then, Qin Feng happened to enter the door.
The small item ended up dangling from his head.
At the same time, the opened purple box fell to the ground with a clatter.
Qin Feng was dazed.
With a face full of bewilderment, he grabbed the item that had landed on his head.
Upon closer inspection, he became embarrassed.
"Uh..."
Qin Feng quickly bent down, picked up the box from the floor, and put the two small items back inside.
Then, he carefully placed it back on the desk.
Afterward, Qin Feng, acting as if nothing had happened, displayed a gentlemanly smile, and greeted, "Mrs. Yu, hello!"
Qin Feng’s sudden visit caught Yu Keqing off guard.
The thing that had landed on Qin Feng’s head made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
However, luckily Qin Feng didn’t mention a word about it.
Yu Keqing naturally had to act as if nothing had happened just now.
"What are you here for?" she asked, expressionless.
"I came to see how Huanmei Group is doing, to see if it has collapsed yet. If Huanmei Group has indeed gone under, Mrs. Yu, you must be close to unemployment, right? Over at Shencao Ji, I’ve found a position for you; I’d like to invite you to be our CEO."
These words from Qin Feng left Yu Keqing somewhat dumbfounded, unable to wrap her head around the situation immediately.
She asked uncertainly, "You’re inviting me to be the CEO of Shencao Ji?"
"Yes."
"Aren’t you a doctor? Why have you switched to headhunting? Could it be that Shencao Ji, knowing you saved my daughter and that I owe you, has sent you to persuade me?"
This was the only possibility Yu Keqing could think of.
"Uh..." Qin Feng scratched his head and said, "Yu, if I tell you the truth, will you hate me?"
The title had changed from Mrs. Yu to Yu, a sure sign this kid was up to something cunning.
"I won’t hate you, spit it out."
"Actually, I have another identity; I’m a shareholder at Shencao Ji. The Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream that Shencao Ji launched was developed from a secret recipe I provided."
Qin Feng only revealed this much and did not tell Yu Keqing that Xue Xiaochan, the majority shareholder of Shencao Ji, was his wife.
But even this one piece of information was enough to set Yu Keqing off.
She pointed sharply at Qin Feng’s nose and demanded, "Telling me Ouyang Bingbing’s face would have problems, were you scheming against me? Were you plotting against me from the very beginning?"
"No."
"What do you mean, no?"
"When I found out Ouyang Bingbing’s face would have problems, it was by accident. When I warned you, it was simply the truth; there was no malice intended. Little did I know, you would terminate your contract with Bingbing and even demand compensation from her. Later she came to me for treatment, and since I heard she was no longer spokesperson for Huanmei Group, I used the treatment as a bargaining chip and asked her to endorse Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream."
"Haha!"
"Don’t scoff at me, Yu! You’re so clever and knowledgeable, you must know very well that it wasn’t Shencao Ji that drove Huanmei Group into a corner, but Tianlong Group. It was Tianlong Group that snatched away your market share, and then we at Shencao Ji avenged you by taking some back from them. However, Tianlong Group is still number one. Shencao Ji’s market share isn’t even half of theirs. So today, I came with absolute sincerity to invite you, Yu, to join us at Shencao Ji, and together we will take down Tianlong Group."
"I’ll take you down first!"
Yu Keqing gritted her teeth in hatred and cursed Qin Feng.
Although she knew that Huanmei Group’s downfall couldn’t be blamed on Shencao Ji or Qin Feng.
But she had nowhere to vent her anger!
It had taken her so many years of hard work to make Huanmei Group the top beauty brand in Dragon Country.
It even had a certain reputation overseas.
But in just one night, Huanmei collapsed.
Yu Keqing also regretted that in the last two years, due to Duoduo’s illness, she hadn’t focused enough on managing Huanmei Group.
Now, all she wanted was to revive Huanmei Group.
She needed ten billion to develop new products, but she definitely would not go to Qin Dongrui tonight.
Yu Keqing was determined to solve the problem with her own abilities, not with her body.
Qin Feng pointed to the purple box on the desk that he had packed up, and asked with a chuckle, "Yu, this was sent by Qin Dongrui, wasn’t it?"
"What’s it to you?"
"He gave you this, probably wanting you to wear it for him, right? So, Qin Dongrui leaves, I walk in, and you immediately throw this thing at my head. It seems like you weren’t exactly keen on putting it on for him, were you?"
