With the studio on track, Chu Zhuo's investigation into Qi Yu's company also yielded results.

According to the information sent, during the years that the client went abroad, Qi Yu's projects were prepared very smoothly, and the profits were within the highest standards allowed for him to achieve his goals.

He was clearly not the optimal solution, but it was as if someone was secretly giving him the green light.

And those who helped him were not just from one family.

Is Qi Yu some kind of Mary Sue/Gary Stu character?

Chu Zhuo was completely baffled, so he arranged to meet with the biggest grudge among them.

When Jiang Hongjia learned that Chu Zhuo wanted to see him, he was extremely surprised and specially styled his hair to make himself look energetic.

"Long time no see, Chu Zhuo. I didn't expect you to ask to meet me alone." Jiang Hongjia sat up straight, displaying his most proper posture.

"I'm a little curious about something. Sorry to take up your time," Chu Zhuo said bluntly. "Jiang Hongjia, are you and Qi Yu close?"

"Huh?" Jiang Hongjia's facial expression subtly lost control; it was good enough that he wasn't jealous. "So-so, not familiar."

"Then why have you made so many concessions in your cooperation with Qi Yu over the past few years?" Chu Zhu asked sincerely, pointing out the unreasonable aspects. "Some of his cooperation plans are fine, but there are better ones out there."

As the heir of the Jiang family, Jiang Hongjia was definitely intelligent enough to understand the problem after a little thought... Moreover, whether it was his imagination or not, his mind suddenly became clear, whereas before it seemed as if he had been shrouded in an invisible and intangible mist, which had numbed him without his knowledge.

No, it wasn't just him; the whole group of them were fooled.

Jiang Hongjia's face suddenly darkened and became very ugly.

Chu Zhu hesitated: "Is it inconvenient to say?"

"..."

It wasn't that it was inconvenient, but it was embarrassing. Jiang Hongjia looked disheveled and dejected after losing his spirit: "We all thought Qi Yu was special to you. You treated us all the same. Your previous help was more like a casual gesture."

"You come from a good family, have a good personality, and many friends. You lack nothing, so we had no choice but to start with Qi Yu. Anyway, it won't have much impact. For us, it's just a matter of how much money we make, which is nothing. After you went abroad, he hinted to us that you also had some feelings for him, but you didn't say it outright because of your studies. We were already worried about not having a chance to repay you, and then he appeared and said those things, so we secretly took good care of him."

Chu Zhuo was stunned: "Wh-what?"

So, did Qi Yu do something like that behind the scenes?

The client is truly a very gentle and kind person.

Knowing that his younger brother's soul was weak, he had always faced the world with gentleness.

He treated everyone with sincerity and offered help tirelessly, hoping that the blessings from these small acts would be returned to his younger brother.

He was in that kind of circle, and the people he helped were all from the same social class, so much so that the person who entrusted him became the ideal man in the hearts of many bigwigs in the Beijing circle.

Qi Yu used some tricks to make everyone mistakenly believe that the client was special to him and that the two had feelings for each other. Therefore, the other big shots silently let go and gave their blessings... Little did they know that Qi Yu would kill his younger brother.

Even though the client is no longer here, Chu Zhuo can still feel that sadness for him.

Why can't people be good people?

Chu Zhuo asked firmly, "Behind Qi Yu's smooth sailing all these years, have you been protecting and supporting him?"

Jiang Hongjia replied awkwardly, "Ah, yes."

"Then I'll make it clear: Qi Yu is a scumbag, a degenerate. I have absolutely no relationship with him, and I'm not familiar with him at all." Chu Zhuo stated decisively, "Did you know he used a body double?"

Jiang Hongjia shook his head blankly: "I don't know."

That makes sense. Qi Yu has kept Shi An's identity well hidden. Apart from his friends, outsiders don't even know the significance of Shi An's existence and just think that he is someone he can casually help and support.

When Shi An's mother was diagnosed with late-stage cancer, it was a devastating blow to the college sophomore.

Qi Yu ran into Shi An, who was working part-time at the time, at a bar. The resemblance between their profiles captivated him, and he took action, paying for Shi An's mother's surgery with a wave of his hand. Then, he frequently appeared around Shi An as her suitor.

Students who have not yet entered society gradually fall into Qi Yu's "deep affection" trap.

The term "body double" was easy to understand, and Jiang Hongjia realized it in a few seconds, standing up angrily: "He actually hired a body double to humiliate you?"

"Shi An was also kept in the dark, so I hope you won't bother him." After a pause, Chu Zhuo said, "Jiang Hongjia killed one of my friends, and I will not let him get away with it. If you have any plans, do them as soon as possible."

Jiang Hongjia nodded solemnly.

"Mr. Qi, the documents we submitted last time were returned because they were deemed unqualified."

"Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi, something terrible has happened! Dingsheng's partner wants to terminate the contract and will stop supplying us with fabric."

"Mr. Qi, Qiashuo said a few days ago that they wanted to renew their contract with us, but yesterday they called and suddenly said that the contract was expiring and they would not renew it. We still owe our customers products, and they have all paid deposits. Now we can't deliver the goods, and our customers are waiting."

"How could it be unqualified? We clearly confirmed with them before submitting the documents!"

"If Dingsheng won't cooperate, just find other suppliers. Do I have to teach you that? Do you think I'm just here to pay your salaries every day for nothing?"

"If you can't deliver, just delay! Can't you come up with some random excuse?"

Qi Yu shouted back impatiently, leaving his assistant behind as a mountain of problems erupted, his usually handsome face contorted and contorted in pain.

Sitting in his office chair, with the glass door blocking out all the noise, Qi Yu frowned deeply.

What's going on? Lately, things at the company haven't been going as smoothly as before. What went wrong?

He couldn't help but think of Chu Zhuo... no, Xiao Zhuo couldn't possibly have discovered it.

Those people, confident in their high status, were different from the good-for-nothing rich kids; they basically didn't pay attention to things that didn't concern them.

But...on closer inspection, all those problematic projects were related to that group of people.

Qi Yu had a bad feeling. After hesitating for a while, he called Chu Zhuo, but unsurprisingly, she didn't answer.

A moment later, the assistant knocked and came in. Qi Yu saw his attitude and didn't want to listen to him: "No need to say anything. You figure out a solution yourself. Do what you did before. I have to go out for a bit. I hope to see things resolved when I come back."

The assistant, who was inexplicably blamed: "..."

What kind of lunatic is this? He expects me to do everything? It's not like I own the company. Why should I risk my life for the company for such a paltry salary?

The assistant took a deep breath and held back... "Idiot boss, I'll quit as soon as I get my salary next month."

Qi Yu drove away from the company and arrived at Chu Zhuo's house.

The maid peered through the doorway: "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Xiao Zhuo, your young master." Qi Yu forced a smile.

"Okay, just a moment." The maid turned to leave.

"Wait, open the door first. Xiao Zhuo and I are friends. Let me go in and wait." Qi Yu hurriedly called out to her.

The servant's voice drifted back as she walked away: "Excuse me, sir, I need to consult with the young master first. Please wait a few minutes."

Seeing that she really didn't stop, Qi Yu punched the wall with a loud bang and muttered a curse: "She's just a servant. I'll tell Xiao Zhuo later that she has to be fired."

Qi Yu didn't notice that his appearance had changed without him realizing it.

It had been quite a few days since Chu Zhuo last saw Jiang Hongjia. Upon hearing the servant's report, Chu Zhuo was quite eager to see the scumbag's pathetic state.

Chu Zhuo opened the door and saw Qi Yu about to come in. She stopped him, saying, "Don't come in, I find it dirty."

Qi Yu said sadly, "Xiao Zhuo, I've driven him away. There's no one else between us now."

"Ugh, all you say is disgusting things." Chu Zhuo covered her mouth, utterly disgusted by his hypocritical manner. "Qi Yu, are you sure you still want to talk about love and romance at a time like this? Don't you care about the company?"
