Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

After thinking for a long time, and with the room remaining silent for a long time, Qi Jiang finally chuckled twice. To Qi Xinye, the laughter didn't sound like laughter at all.

Then Qi Jiang turned around and said, "Well, Xiao Ye, you wanted to get some experience, but now you want to get involved in the Qi family's affairs? I think it's too early. Let's do it another day. Another day, your dad, a few uncles, and I will discuss which school abroad to send you to study theoretical knowledge. That would be a good way to get some experience."

Ha, so they've become suspicious and want to kick them out?

Unfortunately, he wouldn't be sent abroad this time, because Xiao Zhe had already guessed that.

It's really...it's so good to have Xiao Zhe around.

Upon hearing Qi Jiang's words, Qi Yi became agitated. He quickly spoke up, pretending to scold, "Xiao Ye! Go home first, don't delay your great-grandfather's business!"

Many years ago, Qi Jiang and his family sent their daughter abroad, keeping her away from him, with the aim of making it difficult for her to become the next head of the Qi family.

Qi Yi doesn't ask for anything else now, he just wants Xiao Ye to stay at home, but... does his uncle disagree with this too?

Qi Xinye remained calm, said goodbye, and left politely.

As the automatic doors closed, only Qi Yi and Qi Jiang remained in the conference room.

At this moment, Qi Yi, having calmed down, remembered the project from earlier: "Uncle, I didn't finish what I was saying earlier. This project absolutely cannot be carried out!"

did not expect.

Qi Jiang had no intention of sitting down to discuss things with him. He picked up his tiger-head cane and used the ground to support himself as he stood up.

In a casual tone, as if stating a fact: "Qi Yi, what you said and what you have to say doesn't mean much. This old man just wants to make a few more money. Everything else is none of my business."

"But! Uncle!..."

Qi Yi stopped.

Because he saw the scarlet light in Qi Jiang's eyes, a light filled with threat and danger.

He quickly composed himself, turned his back, and said, "You need to think more about this. The fact that you can stay in the head of the family, or that you have such a glamorous and stable life, is all thanks to the support of this old man and your brothers."

A clear threat.

Qi Yi understood what he was saying; in fact, he was now sweating profusely.

Qi Jiang meant that if you want to be the head of the family, you should obediently follow orders; if you don't want to, someone will take your place, but stepping down won't be easy for you.

Qi Yi had no choice.

He could only grit his teeth and say with difficulty, "Okay... I understand, Uncle. I'll take care of the factory."

There is really no way.

We'll have to find another opportunity to mediate this project later, and maybe we can find a way to cancel it... The chances are slim. What can a family head with no real power say?

Qi Jiang nodded in satisfaction, turned around again, and as if remembering something, tapped the ground lightly with his tiger-head cane.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Speaking of which, I'd like to know, has that Su family brat made any moves lately?"

"The Su family?...Uncle, are you referring to Su Yuzhe?"

"Yes, that's the kid Su Yuzhe we're talking about. Although he's still young, we must not underestimate him. If we're not careful, he could be doomed."

When Qi Jiang spoke of Su Yuzhe, his aged face became more serious.

He has decades of business experience, and all his experience tells him that this child, who is called a "peerless genius," definitely has some ability.

Five years ago, the car accident he orchestrated was not only to obtain the amusement park operating rights that he was fighting with the Su family for at the time.

More importantly, he wanted to eliminate this threat. When Su Yuzhe was a child, Qi Jiang had a few words with him at a banquet in the Su family. At that time, he discovered that Su Yuzhe, even as a child, not only had an unusually fast mind, but also a very strange and clever way of thinking, which was hard to fathom.

They turned their attention back to Qi Yi to confirm.

Qi Yi thought for a moment, then told the truth: "No, Su Yuzhe... hasn't appeared at the Su family's formal occasions for a long time. His sister has indeed posed a great threat to us in business, but this is the result of normal market competition. We also have our own independent development space, so the problem is not too big."

The Su family is truly full of talented people.

However, Qi Jiang's concern from the beginning was always about Su Yuzhe; he was the one who was truly in danger.

Has it been a long time since you last appeared...?

Is this a life of seclusion, or the calm before the storm...?

interesting.

Leaning on his tiger-head cane, he walked towards the door, giving instructions as he went.

"Qi Yi, keep a close eye on that kid from the Su family. If he appears at any important event in the Su family, you must report to me immediately."

"Understood, Uncle."

After saying this, Qi Jiang walked out the door, looked out the window, and sneered: "After all these years, I wonder how much ability you, Su family brat, really have. It's a pity, I'd like to see what kind of expression this so-called genius will have when he fails."

48. Do you really have to sleep together?

Su Yuzhe had no idea what was happening dozens of miles away.

All he wants now is a good night's sleep.

After seeing Luo Xiaomeng off in the afternoon, he went back to his room to sleep.

Night has fallen, and glancing at the time on my phone, it's already past nine o'clock. Yu Zhe has managed not to fall asleep since the afternoon!

During this time, his two younger sisters and Qin Ruoke were very sensible. Apart from occasionally checking on him and changing the wet towel, they did not bother him at all.

But Yu Zhe is a night owl, and it's past noon again. It's too difficult to get him to take a nap in the afternoon!

Despite having a fever, Yu Zhe still managed to binge-watch anime all afternoon with great energy. He really thinks he's a genius!

Well, I just put down my phone and took my temperature again. It was 37.9 degrees Celsius. Although it's much better than this morning, I can't say I'm fully recovered. This is the consequence of not getting enough sleep.

Sigh, let's try closing our eyes again. Going to bed early is easier said than done; sometimes the more you want to sleep, the less you can fall asleep.

Hmm? Wait, I think I have to take my medicine again tonight?

What you think about comes true.

Hearing a knock on the door,

After Yu Zhe agreed, the door opened.

Qin Ruoke walked in carrying a glass containing brewed medicine and a small medicine bottle.

Is it your turn to deliver the medicine this time?

After placing the glass and other items on Yu Zhe's bedside table, Qin Ruoke tidied her hair and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Did you take your temperature just now? How is it?"

"Ah, much better, but still a bit feverish. I guess I'll be fine after a nap."

"It's not much better at all," Qin Ruoke could tell from his somewhat weak voice.

To be honest, Qin Ruoke couldn't calm down for a moment as long as Yu Zhe wasn't in a good mood.

On that rainy night, the person before her was so dazzling that she would probably never forget him for the rest of her life.

That's why she was even more worried: "The fever still hasn't gone down... Maybe I should go to the hospital... get an IV drip, maybe that will help me get better faster."

"Hey, no! It's nothing." Hearing this, Yu Zhe quickly picked up the medicine on the table and drank it.

After finishing his drink, he put down the cup and held up an index finger: "Xiao Ruoke, this shows a lack of common sense. Do you know that whether it's a cold or a fever, if you can get better on your own, try not to get an IV drip? IV drips not only have a lot of side effects, but they may also cause drug resistance. If you really need an IV drip in the future, it may not work."

What he said made Qin Ruoke tilt her head: "Hmm? Is that so?"

There are so many people getting IV drips at the clinic and hospital...

Yu Zhe nodded, but he wouldn't say that what he said earlier was just an excuse to avoid going to the hospital.

The real reason is that he's lazy and doesn't want to move.

Qin Ruoke felt that if he didn't want to go, he could wait another night. But if things were still like this the next morning, he definitely couldn't keep dragging it out.

She didn't know about other things, but she knew that if an illness dragged on for too long, it would be very uncomfortable.

Just like when she was in her first year of high school two years ago, she was alone in that small, dilapidated house and had a fever. No one took care of her. She had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius and lay in bed for several days. In the end, she recovered completely on her own. Thinking about it now, it was really painful.

Fortunately, if this were today, someone would probably take care of her if she got sick... just like yesterday.

She smiled softly, then, as if remembering something, took the glass from Yu Zhe's hand: "I might... stay here another night. Good rentals aren't easy to find these days... maybe tomorrow..."

"Don't say that." Yu Zhe lay back on the pillow, tilted his head and looked at her. "Xiao Ruo Ke can stay here if she wants."

Yes, at least that's what Yu Zhe thinks. Qin Ruoke has a lot of stories to tell, and she's a very kind and compassionate person. She's a good partner.

However, Qin Ruoke, this "good friend," couldn't bear such words. She hurriedly turned her head away, trying to hide her expression.

She lifted her leg and walked towards the door: "Stop...stop making a fuss, you should get some rest. I...I'll go tidy up the kitchen a bit more. Oh, by the way...your sister was just discussing some pillows and blankets...I don't know either, anyway, that's all for now!"

After saying this, Qin Ruoke quickly closed the door for Yu Zhe and then left.

She left, leaving Yu Zhe full of doubts.

What pillow? What blanket? Which sister said that?

If it were Zixiao, then she would probably need to wash the blankets and pillows.

If it were Yu Che… then things would be in trouble… she would absolutely not let herself go to sleep obediently!

If you don't believe me, just listen. The footsteps coming down the corridor right now sound extremely unnatural.

After Yu Zhe calmed down, he looked towards the doorway of the room.

Well, no need to guess anymore, both younger sisters are here.

Zixiao and Yuche were still arguing back and forth when they walked towards him.

What they had in common was that they were all holding their own pillows.

After walking a few steps to Yu Zhe, Yu Che stopped arguing with Zi Xiao and simply said something to Yu Zhe.

"Brother! You tell me! Tonight, between the two of us, who are you going to sleep with!"

"Shut up! What you're saying sounds awful!"

Even though he was completely exhausted, it couldn't stop Yu Zhe from venting!

Zixiao put the pillow on the inside of the bed: "She just said that she wants to sleep with her brother tonight. I thought Yuche would only cause trouble and make you sleep poorly. Besides, her brother might need to be taken care of tonight, so I came over."

So that's what Qin Ruoke was talking about earlier, the thing they were discussing?

Yu Zhe rolled over, changing from lying on his side to lying flat on his back, and shifted his gaze from the two of them to the ceiling.

The two younger sisters waited nearby for their brother's reply.
