Chapter 413: Chapter 288: Exposed

Tang Xi has been doing well with her driving practice these past two days.

Every evening, Shen Duan served as her driving companion, and to thank him, and for bringing her out of Xiaoliang Village, Tang Xi invited him out for dinner at night.

Tang Xi let Shen Duan pick the place, but to her surprise, he chose a roadside stall for wontons.

After taking a couple of bites, Shen Duan suddenly paused, a slight change flickering in his eyes.

Tang Xi also noticed the brief shift in his emotions.

"Don’t you like this?"

Shen Duan didn’t hide his feelings, "The last time I had wontons was at Liang Qing’s place. She couldn’t see, but she was fully capable of living on her own and could make wontons herself."

Speaking of Liang Qing, Tang Xi couldn’t help but think of Liang Zheng from Xiaoliang Village.

She silently lowered her head and nibbled at her soup spoon as she ate.

"Shen Duan, can you do me a favor? I want to give Liang Zheng some money. I’ll transfer it to your card. But you must keep it a secret, don’t let Fu Tingzhou find out."

This time, Shen Duan nodded.

He also planned to visit Liang Qing, having promised to take her to get her eyes treated.

Next month, he was going to leave Beidao with Fu Tingzhou and return to North City. Perhaps after that, he would never see her again.

-

This morning at ten o’clock, Gao Chengxiong held a new product launch event at Beidao Times Square.

Almost all the business tycoons of Beidao attended.

After getting out of the car, Tang Xi stood by Fu Tingzhou’s side and together they walked into the launch event venue.

Tang Xi wore a white business suit, her long black hair cascading down her back.

Fu Tingzhou was in a bespoke smoke-gray suit. When Tang Xi glanced sideways, she noticed his tie was a bit askew. As his assistant, this was within her job scope. Tang Xi quietly reminded him, then tiptoed slightly and reached up to adjust it for him.

Not far away, Gao Youhan clenched her teeth, "It’s that damned woman again, so bold in flirting with Fu Tingzhou. Even after the divorce, she shamelessly sticks by his side."

Gao Youhan donned an exquisite light-pink haute couture gown. Today, she was flashy enough to capture attention. As the sole heiress of the Gao Family, wearing a dress worth tens of millions, she sweetly smiled and headed towards Fu Tingzhou, "Mr. Fu, you’re here too. I thought you wouldn’t attend."

Gao Youhan was pleased. Fu Tingzhou’s attendance at the Gao Group’s event possibly implied that he was interested in collaborating with the Gao Family.

If their families were not adversaries, she could get closer to Fu Tingzhou again.

Not too far away, Gao Yufeng also strode over with confidence. Today was the Gao Family’s product launch, and they had invited hundreds of media outlets. During this period, the Gao Family had gained the upper hand, and their net profits were rising. Even if Fu Tingzhou didn’t cooperate with him, it didn’t matter. He still had to eagerly come seeking reconciliation. Right now, Gao Yufeng carried himself with arrogance, "If it isn’t President Fu, long time no see. I wonder how you’ve been lately."

His words carried a hidden meaning, alluding to recent matters concerning the Shangguan Group.

Fu Tingzhou merely smiled faintly, his expression cold, his eyes as dark as ink, betraying no emotional fluctuations.

"Quite well."

Gao Yufeng gritted his teeth, "That’s good to hear."

He sneered inwardly, figuring that collaborating with the Shangguan Group probably cost them billions in losses. Later, he anticipated that they would desperately seek a partnership with him, but he had no intention of agreeing so easily. The failure and humiliation he suffered because of Fu Tingzhou, he was determined to repay in kind.

"President Fu, this is the new product brochure that the Gao Family will be launching shortly. Please take a look."

Fu Tingzhou did not take it because his presence today was not to attend the Gao Group’s launch. Instead, Shangguan Nanxian had told him that today held an interesting spectacle to witness.

Suddenly, there was a disturbance at the entrance.

Followed by the media’s voices, "Shangguan Nanxian, she’s actually here too."

Countless gazes and cameras turned towards the entrance.

Shangguan Nanxian was dressed in an exquisite light coffee-colored ladies’ suit, wearing matching trousers, her feet in black high heels. Her long, slightly curled hair fell over her shoulders, her red lips full of presence. She glanced briefly at the media in front of her, smiling as she walked towards Gao Yufeng and slowly extended her hand, "Congratulations, President Gao."

"So it’s President Nan who has arrived." Gao Yufeng did not immediately shake Shangguan Nanxian’s hand, instead pausing for a few seconds before reciprocating, deliberately intending to show her down.

Many media outlets sensed the smell of gunpowder.

After all, these two were arch-enemies.

Plus, Shangguan Group had experienced some issues recently, while Gao Group was in its prime.

Everyone thought that Shangguan Nanxian had lost thoroughly, her momentum shattered, so her attending Gao Family’s new product launch was seen as an act of subservience.

However, Shangguan Nanxian maintained a proper smile on her face, as if not angered or humiliated by Gao Yufeng’s arrogance, saying, "I wonder if Uncle Gao is here? My father asked me to send his regards."

"My father is getting ready, he will be here shortly."

No sooner had Gao Yufeng finished speaking than Gao Chengxiong made his entrance, with all cameras and media immediately turning to him.

Gao Chengxiong also displayed great poise, every move he made exuding authority.

He was giving a speech for the new product launch.

At that moment, the large screen behind him flickered momentarily.

The original product interface suddenly went dark.

Gao Chengxiong frowned, but assumed it was a minor hiccup, signaling with his eyes for the staff to fix it.

But after the staff checked it out, the large screen remained dark.

Gao Chengxiong still wore a smile, gesturing to the media that it was just a small matter and would be resolved shortly.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, an image suddenly appeared on the large screen.

A young woman, her face pixelated, and a man, not pixelated, appeared to be negotiating something.

And slowly, their voices became clear.

"My miss said, as long as you do as she asks and threaten Shangguan Nanxian, she will give you a generous compensation."

"Who is your miss?"

"Why bother with that, will you do it or not?"

"Why are you kidnapping us? What are you plotting? I am a jewelry designer heading to Shangguan Group’s Chief Designer Contest, you won’t get away with this kidnapping, the police will find you very soon."

"Don’t you just want to enter the Shangguan Group’s design department to become Shen Qinglin’s chief disciple? With your ability, you definitely won’t make the top ranks of the contest, and at best you’ll just be a minor designer. If you agree to cooperate, you can have everything you want. This blow is existential to Shangguan Group; you can threaten her, secure your spot, and my miss will pay you handsomely."

"Then why are you looking for me? Why not someone else?"

"Miss Chen, I think you need this opportunity more."

In the video, the pixelated woman was Chen Jiuyue.

This was a video of Chen Jiuyue in a warehouse, making a deal with Gao Family’s bodyguard.

At this moment, countless media outlets, like flies smelling a sweet cake, frantically took out cameras to capture the scene.

This was a sensational scoop.

Gao Chengxiong’s face changed colors, shouting, "Turn it off, turn it off!!!"

Gao Yufeng gritted his teeth, "Slander! All of this is slander! Stop filming, stop filming you all!"

Gao Youhan’s face turned pale, instantly recognizing the woman in the video as Chen Jiuyue!! She dared to deceive her; meanwhile, another video started playing on the big screen.

In this video, Gao Youhan’s face was clearly visible.

Dressed exquisitely, with a haughty demeanor, she was discussing with Chen Jiuyue how to have a hacker break into Shangguan Group’s security system during another jewelry design contest organized by Shangguan Nanxian.

She also promised a handsome reward to the hacker, and finally signed her own name.

This video flashed by quickly, and on the side, Gao Chengxiong was so furious his lungs were about to explode. Gao Youhan!! How could he have such a foolish daughter!
