CHAPTER 145: CHAPTER 145: ONLY BY STIRRING UP TROUBLE CAN WE DEAL WITH THEM COMPLETELY

Qin Huaishu immediately understood her sister-in-law’s intentions.

This sister-in-law of hers was cunning, solely intent on having her son marry a noble family’s daughter from the inner city.

Unfortunately, the inner city ladies usually marry inner city men and seldom marry outside.

If you want to climb up, you need that opportunity.

Now that she’s found out the Bai Family’s daughter is at Anhe, her sister-in-law must think this is a chance to latch onto the Bai Family.

She doesn’t even consider that the Bai and Fu families have a marriage alliance, who would dare lay a hand on a Bai Family woman?

But only people in the inner city know this news; many in the outer city aren’t aware, and I bet this foolish woman in front doesn’t know either.

Qin Huaishu sneered inwardly, but kept a graceful and calm smile on her face, "Oh really? How come I didn’t know?"

Wang Suya saw Qin Huaishu feigning ignorance and felt even more certain about this news, her smile grew even more enthusiastic as she seemed to shift the topic: "Sister-in-law, you see Xiao Yu is about to graduate soon, shouldn’t he be placed in the Group for some experience?"

The Group Wang Suya was referring to was not the Xingyu Group, but the Feng family’s main enterprise, the Feng Group. Xingyu Group was originally an entertainment company invested in by the Feng Group, which Qin Huaishu had single-handedly built into a strong and now publicly listed company.

The other members of the Feng family have always wanted to get involved in the management of Xingyu, but Qin Huaishu, being highly capable and having Feng Guodong as her supporter, meant that Xingyu was essentially under her control.

The other Feng family members couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

Thus, the Feng Group is the main battleground for power within the Feng family.

Qin Huaishu was alerted, her smile dimmed slightly, "When Xiao Yun graduated, she didn’t go straight into the Group; instead, she trained in a subsidiary for three to four years and entered the Group based on her capabilities. Xiao Yu should also start from the bottom. How could anyone go straight into the Group?"

Wang Suya wasn’t angry, she immediately pretended to have misspoken, "Oh, I’m just anxious, aren’t I? Xiao Lei and Xiao Yun are so excellent, but my Xiao Yu has been spoiled by me, and now he’s about to graduate yet still acts like a child who hasn’t grown up. So I thought going to the Group would allow him to learn from Xiao Yun. But you’re right, sister-in-law, how can anyone go straight into the Group? But sister-in-law, you know how Xiao Yu is, he’s yet to settle down, surely he needs someone to guide him, so why not let Xiao Yu follow his big brother to learn, and once he’s capable, he can then join the Group?"

These words seemed to step back quite a few paces, leaving some members of the Feng family surprised, as Wang Suya usually isn’t this easy to concede.

Does she truly want her son to not join the Group, but follow Feng Lei around as a subordinate?

Is her mind gone haywire?

Qin Huaishu’s face wasn’t pleasant, but Wang Suya acted as if she didn’t see it and looked towards Mrs. Feng sitting at the head of the table, "Mom, Xiao Lei is so outstanding, if Xiao Yu can learn one or two things from him, it would benefit him for a lifetime."

Mrs. Feng has a soft spot for Feng Lei, her favorite grandson, and was naturally delighted at her second daughter-in-law’s praise of her eldest grandson, smiling so broadly she couldn’t close her mouth. "Alright, but he better not cause trouble for Xiao Lei. Otherwise, I won’t agree."

Qin Huaishu felt uneasy seeing Mrs. Feng readily agreeing with Wang Suya, as the old lady, while fond of her son, didn’t entirely side with Feng Lei. If other Feng family descendants had issues, she would still help, and in particular, she believes the Xingyu Group belongs to the Feng family, and Qin Huaishu is merely an acting manager.

"Huaishu, what do you think? Let Xiao Yu work under Xiao Lei?" Mrs. Feng asked with a smile.

Qin Huaishu suppressed her discomfort and kept smiling, "Of course, but Mom, you know how Xiao Lei is, very stern. I’m afraid Xiao Yu might not be accustomed to him, which could cause a rift between brothers..."

Before she could finish, Wang Suya quickly said, "Don’t worry, sister-in-law. Xiao Yu is just going there to learn. If he doesn’t behave, let Xiao Lei discipline him, don’t hold back!"

The two sisters-in-law exchanged fake smiles, understanding each other without words.

After leaving the Feng family estate, Qin Huaishu’s daughter, Feng Yun, asked her in confusion, "Mom, why did you agree to Aunt’s demands? Feng Yu is always so irresponsible, he will definitely cause trouble if he goes to big brother."

But Qin Huaishu wasn’t worried, instead, her face bore a hint of satire, "It’s good if he causes trouble, so we can thoroughly deal with them."

***

Feng Lei was unaware that his cousin was coming to Anhe, as he was currently watching Lin Anqing sign a contract with Ye Tong.

While Lin Anqing initially kept it from him, now that the script has been rewritten and the female lead is finalized, he must inform him, the major investor.

The meeting was set at a relatively big restaurant in Jiuming Mountain Town, a two-story self-built small red building with a plaque above the first-floor entrance reading [Pan Family Restaurant].

The group sat in the largest private room on the second floor.

Ye Tong and Gu Lin were a bit surprised upon arrival, as Feng Lei did not seem like someone who would appear in such a place.

In this "Gone with the Wind" crew, besides Ye Tong, Gu Lin was also favored by Lin Anqing, who gave him a significant role.

Though not the lead, his role was very positive and would please the audience, so Gu Lin agreed without much thought.

Ye Tong didn’t particularly like Feng Lei and was always wary of him, but now as she saw the contract in Lin Anqing’s hands, she couldn’t care about him, her eyes filled with joy.

She could really play the lead female character now; though her screen time wasn’t much, only seven or eight episodes, she was still the lead.

This was an opportunity created for her by Sister Ning.

Ye Tong’s heart was pounding, "thump thump thump," and she almost tripped over the threshold, only saved from falling by Gu Lin beside her.

"Thank you."

"No problem." Gu Lin smiled, courteously helping her up before withdrawing his hand.

The scene at the doorway was witnessed by Feng Lei, stirring an indescribable sensation—familiar yet unsettling—that put him in a bad mood as he turned his gaze outside the window.

He happened upon two sneaky figures.

He had encountered these two before, one being Wang Yanyan, the lead actress from "Gone with the Wind."

Unable to confront Lin Anqing, she focused on Ye Tong, closely watching her movements.

But Ye Tong’s life was exceedingly monotonous, either filming with the crew or in her room memorizing lines, not even venturing a kilometer beyond the crew’s perimeter.

Just as she was about to give up, she finally caught Ye Tong leaving the crew, although with Gu Lin, it seemed suspicious to her, so she found an excuse to leave the crew and follow them.

"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a man in black appeared behind Wang Yanyan and her assistant.

Wang Yanyan was startled, and the assistant quickly turned, standing protectively in front of her, "What do you want?"

The man in black was unremarkable in appearance but expressionless and seemingly hard to deal with.

Just as Wang Yanyan and her assistant were about to shout for help, the man in black had finished sizing them up and said emotionlessly, "President Feng invites you!"
