Chapter 655: Just Tell Me What You Want
“Since you were determined when you left him, don’t linger on him anymore. He’s in a very difficult situation now. You, of course, would know that Third Brother is very soft-hearted.”
This was the last advice from Mu Qiqi to Hu Ran.
And Hu Ran could sense Mu Qiqi’s dislike of her from her tone.
Mu Qiqi was always a very straightforward person. She showed her likes and dislikes openly.
Since she accepted her as her sister-in-law because of Sheng Bowen, she would also hate her because of him.
It was her who wanted to leave. But now she was the one who acted as if she cared.
Although Mu Qiqi didn’t want to comment on other people’s relationships, she thought that one should not give up on a relationship easily. And if one really wanted to give up the relationship, one should make a clear-cut decision.
Hu Ran didn’t know why she had become such a despicable person.
Perhaps Sheng Bowen thought so about her as well.
After Mu Qiqi returned to the laboratory, she felt that Sheng Bowen was very pitiful. So, she took off the white coat and said to Feng Shanshan, “I’m going back to see if Third Brother needs my help.”
“Just go. I think you will be a great help.”
Mu Qiqi left the police station. On the way, she called Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao knew the little one would not stand by being idle and not doing anything. She wouldn’t care for the others, but she treated Sheng Bowen as her real brother.
“Just don’t interfere with things you shouldn’t. You must know where you stand. Anyway, you better be going to help and not to make trouble.”
“You underestimate me.” Mu Qiqi snorted. “I’ll talk to you later when I get home tonight.” Then, Mu Qiqi hung up the phone. Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao asked Xu Che about Sheng Kai’s latest news.
If it really was Sheng Kai this time, he would let Sheng Kai fall into the deepest pits of hell.
…
An hour later, Mu Qiqi arrived at Huang Yao. The entrance was crowded with unforgiving reporters who did not seem to care about anything but further updates on the case.
Seeing this, Mu Qiqi could only call Sheng Bowen. “Third Brother, your helper is here.”
Sheng Bowen hesitated, but he then thought that Mu Qiqi’s cleverness could come in handy, so he let the secretary bring her upstairs.
The secretary was different from the other secretaries she had seen.
“Miss Mu, I was working for Sheng Kai in the past.”
Mu Qiqi was startled, but the secretary continued.
“He sent me to monitor CEO Sheng. CEO Sheng knew I was a spy, but he didn’t sack me. On the contrary, he entrusted me with important tasks. He is a very kind man. Because of this, I feel very sad to see him suffer. I hope Miss Mu will be able to help him. I know you are a very outstanding and accomplished person.”
Mu Qiqi was astonished to hear what she said. She didn’t know that the secretary by Third Brother’s side had such a background. He had never told her about this.
“I hope so.”
Soon after, they arrived at the office via the secret path used by the CEO. Once Sheng Bowen saw Mu Qiqi, he managed a smile. “Did Eighth Brother get you to come help me? Didn’t he say that he wouldn’t care about such things?”
“Don’t listen to all his not-going-to-interfere-with-your-growth thingy. I believe he has done a lot more in secret. We just don’t know yet, or maybe we’ll never know.”
“Perhaps you are the only one who knows him the best.”
When Mu Qiqi saw the pile of documents on his table, she knew how much of a headache he was having now. “What is it that I can help you with at the moment?”
“The police are currently hunting down the staff member. Although Huang Yao has been framed, it is also partly because of our negligence that led to this. Anyway, I must be accountable for this. The trickiest thing now is how we are going to pacify the two VVIP members who bought the fake diamonds. They don’t seem to be willing to renegotiate or reconcile our differences. They don’t even want to solve the problem. They are just trying to vent their anger. Before they are pacified, I don’t think I am able to proceed with the next step of my public relations plan.”
“Give me their profiles. Maybe I can take care of them,” said Mu Qiqi.
Sheng Bowen stared at Mu Qiqi for a while before he nodded. “I’ll let the secretary get them for you.”
“What’s her name?”
“Ren Yufei. Why?”
Mu Qiqi walked away and shook her head. “Nothing. If I really manage to settle these two, how are you going to thank me?”
“Just tell me what you want.” Sheng Bowen knew Mu Qiqi wasn’t short of anything. Eighth Brother could get her anything she wanted.
“Let’s put it aside first. Of course, I am not a hundred percent sure that I will succeed. Maybe, I will make it even worse. You have to be prepared for it.”
“What can be worse than this?” Sheng Bowen smirked.
“Have you investigated Sheng Kai?”
“I’ll solve my own problem first.”
Sheng Bowen was clearly aware of his current situation. This also meant that he was a very down-to-earth person, even though he was not as clever as Sheng Xiao.
Mu Qiqi didn’t mention Sheng Kai anymore. The more she thought about him, the more she felt that his name was not worth mentioning in front of Third Brother.
Later, Secretary Ren passed the profiles of the two VVIP members to Mu Qiqi. Mu Qiqi acted immediately without delay.
…
Grandpa Sheng was thinking of doing something for Huang Yao at home, even if it was just something small. However, he knew that he should not increase Third Brother’s burden now. Besides, he knew that Eighth Brother would support Huang Yao from behind the scenes. So, he forced himself to let go of his worry for Huang Yao as well as Sheng Bowen.
However, after knowing that Mu Qiqi had gone to help, his anxiety was relieved.
Sure enough, you could only know who really cared for you in adversity.
“At critical moments, none of the Sheng is reliable. I feel sorry for the girl who is willing to help even though she knows nothing about jewelry.”
Grandpa Sheng believed in Mu Qiqi very much. He had seen how she had planned the VVIP Night. Her intelligence was more than sufficient. Moreover, she’s particularly good at solving conflicts.
But when he thought about how he treated her in the past, he felt embarrassed.
…
Mu Qiqi studied the profiles of the two customers. One was a rich woman and one was a young lady. Mu Qiqi was still unsure of their relationships with Sheng Kai.
They were two people with totally different personalities. Hence, the way to handle them would be different.
Mu Qiqi didn’t choose to settle the problem with the amateur monster first. Instead, she planned to meet the young lady before anything else.
