Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 181 Acceptance
Ji Fuyou returned to Jiangtao Pavilion close to night.

However, the villa remained dark.

Clearly, neither Ji Qingqing nor Yu Xiaoyu returned.

While he was thinking, he asked Lu Xingchen to take him to the downstairs of Flash Culture.

The commercial district was as brightly lit as ever.

Especially now that it's after get off work hours, countless white-collar workers are coming and going, entering and exiting the nearby office buildings, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Ji Fuyou looked downstairs for a while, but none of the night market stalls had been set up yet.

Or perhaps, because the urban management officers had just finished their shift, these vendors hadn't yet set up their stalls.

Considering that eating a meal at this time was more suitable than having barbecue, Ji Fuyou simply didn't bring any barbecue and went straight into the building.

The building is equipped with facial recognition and card-swiping detection devices.

Ji Fuyou's information had already been entered into the building, so he easily entered the building, took the elevator, and arrived at the floor where Flash Culture Media was located.

As the company continued to grow, the floor he rented in this office building expanded from the first floor to the third floor.

Even though it was past closing time, people were still busy in the huge company.

As soon as Ji Fuyou arrived, a woman at the front desk who looked to be in her late twenties and was wearing a uniform quickly stood up and said, "Chairman Ji, you've arrived."

"Is President Ji in his office?"

Ji Fuyou asked a question.

"It's in Studio Two. I'll take you there now."

The woman quickly replied.

"No need, I'll go there myself."

Ji Fuyou waved his hand.

The woman hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't refuse to listen. Nevertheless, she reported the news that Chairman Ji had come to the company.

As Ji Fuyou's figure disappeared around the corner, a younger woman beside her couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister Zhang, is this Chairman Ji? He's so young! I heard that the reason the company has recently received such strong policy support from above, with all applications going smoothly, is entirely due to Chairman Ji's connections!"

"it's him."

The woman, referred to as "Sister Zhang," nodded: "I'm also a long-time employee of the company. Before Chairman Ji arrived, and in the short month or so after his arrival, the company's development has undergone tremendous changes. Before, we had to beg for investment and connections, but now we can choose whatever we want. It's said that all of this is thanks to Chairman Ji."

"It's actually true!?"

The young woman couldn't help but exclaim, "Just who is this Chairman Ji? Such connections... are probably top-tier even in Starlight City, right? Could he be the son of some big shot in the City Hall or the Municipal Committee?"

"City Hall? Municipal Council?"

As if she had received some news, Sister Zhang lowered her voice and said, "Not only that, it is said that Chairman Ji has connections in the capital, and his words carry weight there."

Chiyang City!

The young woman looked utterly astonished.

A social class that rises above Starlight City...

This level of status was completely beyond their imagination.

……

Studio 2

Before Ji Fuyou even entered, he had already "seen" Ji Qingqing busy inside using his divine sense.

them……

It looks like they're filming a short drama?
A short drama related to martial arts and spiritual beings.

At this moment, Ji Qingqing was instructing several actors on filming while encouraging and cheering them on.

"Judging from the consistent, direct, and indirect publicity surrounding the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament by major media outlets with official backing, it's easy to guess that the Federation is about to make a big move. For a long time to come, martial artists and spiritual practitioners will dominate the scene. Any company that can ride this wave of popularity will definitely experience rapid growth. And your short drama is a flagship project that our company has poured its heart and soul into, making it a top priority..."

Ji Fuyou stood outside the door, not going in, quietly "watching" Ji Qingqing work.

It's obvious she's very busy.

Really busy.

And the purpose of being busy...

It seems that in order to do a good job in her role as "president" and to develop Flash Culture Media as much as possible.

If Flash can actually create a hit short drama, the company's market value will inevitably soar, and she...

Or rather, the 18% stake held by Ji Fuyou will inevitably become more valuable.

She couldn't offer much help in other areas, so she used this method to alleviate Ji Fuyou's worries.

Even if something unexpected happens to him in the future and he can no longer venture into the fog, at least with this 18% share, he can still live a worry-free life for the rest of his days.

It's simple, but it fits Ji Qingqing's style of doing things perfectly.

As Ji Fuyou pondered, he saw a figure hurrying towards him.

"Chairman Ji, you've arrived? Why didn't you tell me beforehand so I could come down and greet you..."

It was Sun Bin, chairman of Flash Entertainment.

Behind him, there appeared to be several other senior company executives who had followed closely behind.

only……

Sun Bin's extremely humble words caused several high-ranking officials to look rather strange.

Those in the know understand that Sun Bin is the chairman.

Those unaware of the situation might think Sun Bin was just a senior manager at Flash Entertainment, working for Chairman Ji Fuyou.

"I came to check on Ji Qingqing because I saw she hadn't gotten off work so late."

Ji Fuyou said something.

Upon hearing this, Sun Bin immediately showed remorse: "This is my fault. I made President Ji responsible for too many projects, big and small, to the point that President Ji actually..."

“I know it was her own choice.”

Ji Fuyou waved his hand. The conversations outside had already caught Ji Qingqing's attention inside, and some people even came out to check the situation.

Seeing this, Ji Fuyou said, "Chairman Sun, you can go about your business and don't need to worry about me. I'll call Qingqing and leave."

He smiled and said, "It's past the end of the workday, so her leaving now isn't considered leaving early, is it?"

"Chairman Ji, you are too kind. It is my duty to accompany you throughout your visit to the company."

Sun Bin wanted to chat with Ji Fuyou a bit more, but Ji Fuyou had already spoken, so he didn't dare to stay, lest he incur the displeasure of this powerful figure with connections to the heavens.

He smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb Chairman Ji's inspection any longer. I hope that Chairman Ji will have the opportunity to visit the company more often so that I can report to you on the company's recent development."

Ji Fuyou nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Sun Bin quickly left with his men, and at that moment, Ji Qingqing also came out of the photography studio.

When she saw Ji Fuyou, she was a little surprised, and then immediately looked him up and down: "Didn't you say you had something to do and needed to go into the mist again? You're back today? If you had told me earlier, I would definitely be off work and back by now."

Ji Fuyou did tell Ji Qingqing when he returned from Zhongzhou that something would delay his trip, but...

"I just went to check out the mist. If there were no unexpected incidents inside, I'll come back naturally."

Ji Fuyou said, "Let's go home."

"I'll go and explain things, then I'll go back with you."

As Ji Qingqing spoke, she said to a woman of similar age beside her, "Xiao Ruo, tell Xiao Yu to come down and go back."

"Okay, Mr. Ji."

The woman, Xiao Ruo, responded and quickly left.

Ji Fuyou glanced at her: "You changed assistants?"

"I have more than one assistant now, okay?"

As Ji Qingqing spoke, she added, "Xiaoyu hasn't been feeling well these past few days. I told her to rest at home, but she still came to the company with me. Now, after being busy for a while, she's very tired, so I told her to go and rest."

"uncomfortable?"

Ji Fuyou asked in surprise, "Have you seen a doctor?"

"I had a blood test and a flu test done, and everything was fine."

As Ji Qingqing spoke, she added, "Otherwise, I would have sent her back long ago."

Ji Fuyou glanced at her and could clearly sense a hint of weariness hidden deep in her brows.

He immediately said, "Don't overwork yourself."

After saying that, he added, "Seeing how busy you are every day, Xiaoyu can't just stay at home doing nothing. Even though she feels tired, she has no choice but to come with you."

Ji Qingqing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, as she had indeed thought of this point.

For a moment, she felt somewhat helpless: "We agreed she'd be a kept woman, but is this how she's been doing it?"

She glanced at Yu Xiaoyu, who was hurrying over from a short distance away: "I'll advise her not to end up like me..."

"What's the use of persuasion? We need to solve the problem at its root."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Ji Qingqing understood what the fundamental problem he was referring to was, and shook her head: "You handed over Flash Entertainment to me, and even spent so many precious resources on me. I feel ashamed if I don't do something in return."

Ji Fuyou shook his head upon hearing this: "How come you're just like Yu Xiaoyu? I remember you used to say that you would definitely cling to any powerful figure you could find. Now that such a powerful figure has come along, instead of lying down, you've become even more diligent. Did you end up clinging to that powerful figure for nothing?"

"How can that be the same? You're my brother, how could I hold you back? As your older sister, I can't bring myself to do that."

Ji Qingqing pursed her lips.

"I can't bring myself to do it..."

Ji Fuyou does not deny this point.

Ji Qingqing has always maintained the image of an independent woman, even a strong woman, in front of him. If she could marry into a wealthy family, she might be content to be a rich wife. But right now, all her achievements come from him...

She might not be able to enjoy this kind of life with a clear conscience.

With these thoughts in mind, Ji Fuyou made a decision.

"The fundamental solution I'm referring to... is the fog."

"Mist?"

Ji Qingqing was taken aback, her expression quickly turning serious: "You mean, you agree to let me enter the mist with you?"

How did you know I would have disagreed before?

"how could I know?"

Ji Qingqing rolled her eyes at him: "I can tell which way you're going to step just by lifting your butt. You seem easy to talk to most of the time, but that's because you're incapable and have to be kind to others. Actually, you're very petty, okay? You have all the competitive and possessive desires that men should have, and they're very strong! You think you can support us, and deep down you're probably thinking that you'll cover our expenses from now on. How could you possibly allow me to enter the fog?"

Ji Fuyou was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

In his dealings with Ji Qingqing...

Is he acting so emotionally?
"A sudden change of normalcy..."

Ji Qingqing looked at him: "Something happened?"

"Is it obvious?"

Ji Fuyou Road.

"How could I not know?"

"Then what do you think?"

"What do you think?"

Ji Qingqing grasped his hand, as if trying to convey some kind of strength to him: "You don't need to ask this question, you just need to tell me what I should do."

Ji Fuyou looked at her...

At this moment, he even felt a little envious of the original owner of this body.

After a long pause, he nodded and said, "I understand."
