Chapter 700: Your First Name, My Surname (1)

Qi Lei’s humility and sincerity made Shen Yue quite pleased.

“This is the first phase of the project’s initial proposal. Elder CEO, you may look through it. Consider me asking you for some guidance.”

Qi Lei took the document from the side and handed it to Shen Yue who raised his gray brows and accepted it. Casually, he flipped through it and then nodded. “Your design concept isn’t bad. I’ll go back to look into it later on. You can let me know about Qi Kai’s situation a bit more.”

“Elder CEO, I’ve already included the details on our company in the proposal,” Qi Lei responded.

Shen Yue flipped the document to the back and roughly looked through it before he closed it. He looked at Qi Lei through squinted eyes before handing the document to Lan Zilang, and nonchalantly picked up his tea to drink a sip. He turned to his side and looked at Mu Yuchen who was tidying his desk. “Ah Chen, didn’t you say that Xiaye was around too?”

Mu Yuchen looked up at the data on the screen as he said, “She didn’t sleep well last night. I let her sleep a while more. Grandpa, Master Qi’s Chinese chess is quite good. You should have a game with him.”

However, Qi Lei was slightly shocked by his words.

What did Mu Yuchen just call Shen Yue?

Grandpa?

Some things that Yang Sheng had previously told him about flashed in Qi Lei’s mind. There was something about how Fuhua and Glory World had some kind of relationship. Had Xi Xiaye not been running to Fuhua quite frequently recently?

Could those rumors have been true?

Was Shen Yue Xi Xiaye’s grandpa?

Wait, Shen Yue? Shen Yue?

Aunty Shen? Shen Wenna!

A lightbulb flashed in his mind. The answer was as clear as day!

Even though he did notice it before this, he did not take it to heart. Now that he heard this truth, he still felt somewhat astonished.

No wonder Mu Yuchen could persuade Shen Yue! In the end, it was one of them, he just knew that Shen Yue was not that easy to persuade. He had not heard of Mu Yuchen being in touch with Shen Yue before this, and Glory World Corporation did not do much in the construction and property development aspect either, so how did he suddenly get involved so quickly?

Qi Lei suppressed the shock in him. Shen Yue already looked at him to see if he had anything more to say, and he quickly added, “If Elder CEO is interested.”

Then, he got up and opened up a chess set.

“The earlier stages of the project is about to begin. I’m afraid I wouldn’t ask too much. This project matters will be left to Ah Chen and Xiaye. Since you are good friends with both of them, I’ll feel more assured. When the proposed plan has had a final assessment, I will tell Zilang to inform you. Of course, I do know a bit about Qi Kai’s internal situation too. I hope that there won’t be another repeat of the South River project. I think you should be able to do that.”

Shen Yue was a man who had been in business for decades. Even though he did consider Qi Kai’s situation, if he could get someone with potential like Qi Lei to be on his side right now, it would be extremely beneficial for him. Besides, with Mu Yuchen around, he could be free of worries.

Qi Lei responded earnestly, “Elder CEO, if you fancy me being on board, I definitely won’t disappoint you.”

Shen Yue nodded and made the first move on the chessboard. Qi Lei swiftly followed after.

The vast and comfortable office was very quiet. There was the occassional sound of chess pieces tapping the board. Shen Yue and Qi Lei were both very focused people. Meanwhile, Mu Yuchen stood underneath the screen, flipping through the materials and recording things from time to time.

Just as Mu Yuchen was busy and focused, Li Si suddenly walked over carefully and said softly into Mu Yuchen’s ear, “Master, there’s news from Ah Bao. He’s just gotten off the plane. He wanted to come here and report to you immediately, but considering that Elder CEO and Qi Lei are here, I stopped him.”

Mu Yuchen immediately stopped what he was doing. He turned to Li Si and there was puzzlement in his eyes. Li Si lowered himself and softly reminded, “Master, did you forget? Ah Mo previously delegated Ah Bao to investigate that pen.”

With Li Si’s reminder, Mu Yuchen recalled that a few months ago, he did order Ah Mo to investigate the source of that pen. A few months had passed in the blink of an eye, yet there was no news. Ah Mo could only do a blanket search, so it took a long time.

After they negated Qi Qimin, this matter was stuck. Even though Mu Lingshi was relieved, the hope in her heart had not been put out either.

Mu Yuchen fell silent for a while, then said plainly, “Get him to come to Maple Residence at night.”

“Yes, Master!” Li Si replied and then quietly retreated as he took his phone out from his pocket.

Qi Lei, who was conversing in the office, would not have known that just as he walked into Glory World, at the plaza in front of Glory World, a black car slowly come to a halt. The passenger watched him walk into Glory World Corporation. Even Shen Yue’s arrival after that was taken in too.

At that moment, at the back seat of the car.

“Miss Gu, they seem to have gone inside for quite a long while! The old man who went in after that should be CEO of Fuhua, Shen Yue. I heard that Fuhua and Glory World are interested in collaborating to take on the other item under the South River project,” Assistant Xiao Dong, who was in front, turned around to say to Gu Lingsha.

“Why would Qi Lei be here today?” Gu Lingsha asked puzzled.

She wanted to walk around the plaza when she saw Qi Lei’s car by chance and tailed him all the way there. Unexpectedly, Qi Lei had driven his car straight to Glory World Corporation.

Even though she knew that Qi Kai and Glory World had a partnership, it still seemed quite odd to her. Was Qi Lei not previously prejudiced towards Mu Yuchen? Especially after she and Lingtian got into the accident, Qi Lei and Lingtian were very close friends back then too.

These past few years when she had been abroad, she actually knew about the situation on Qi Lei’s end very well. Qi Lei’s undying friendship also moved her, but now it looked like even the ones she thought she could rely on were slowly moving further away from her.

Gu Lingsha’s arched brows instantly furrowed, and she suddenly felt upset.

She obviously did not forget that Qi Lei had even helped plead for Su Nan on behalf of Xi Xiaye. She also remembered asking back then whether he liked Xi Xiaye, and the way he had responded…

Even if he did not like her, at least, he admired her!

In fact, now with his relationship with Mu Yuchen…

She had to admit that the balance in Qi Lei’s heart had slowly tipped toward Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye!
