Chapter 229 Hao Meigui's Provocation
"Mr. Qi, boss, someone has found your wife," Assistant Zhuang said.
"What? That's great! Tell me where my wife is, I want to fly there to find her."
Qi Yuxuan was extremely excited.
"President Qi, but, but, this matter has been botched again."
Assistant Zhuang was dejected.
"What do you mean?" Qi Yuxuan wondered.
Assistant Zhuang didn't know how to answer, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead.
"You should see for yourself," Assistant Zhuang said, handing the phone to Qi Yuxuan.
Qi Yuxuan saw the news displayed on his phone screen.
Qi Yuxuan's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, and he said angrily:
"Nonsense, what's wrong with this production team? When did I say I was stopping contacting my wife?"
"Boss, here's a voice message for you to listen to," Assistant Zhuang said tremblingly.
After listening to the voice message, Qi Yuxuan turned pale. He pondered for a moment and then said to Assistant Zhuang, "Go and call Hao Meigui over."
A moment later, Hao Meigui, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, strode into the shooting room.
Her eyes held a hint of defiance and unruliness, and a faint smile played on her lips.
"President Qi, what exactly happened?"
Hao Meigui's voice carried a hint of languor, yet it possessed an undeniable sharpness.
Qi Yuxuan frowned when he heard Hao Meigui's voice.
"What gives you the right to tell the production team that you are my fiancée and to announce on your own that you are no longer looking for my wife?"
Qi Yuxuan's voice was low and serious, his eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
Hao Meigui chuckled softly and said with alluring charm:
"Why? Because I like you, because I want to be your fiancée."
Qi Yuxuan's face instantly turned ashen, and he roared:
"You're absolutely unreasonable! For what you've done, I'm officially informing you now that you're fired. Don't bother coming in tomorrow, just leave."
Hao Meigui was stunned, and almost dropped the cigarette in her hand.
She looked at Qi Yuxuan in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly:
"What? I'm going to be the female lead in the next drama. How dare you fire me? Besides, if I'm not in the drama, let's see who can take on the role of the female lead."
Qi Yuxuan sneered:
"You overestimate yourself."
A flash of annoyance crossed Hao Meigui's eyes. She took a few steps forward, looked directly into Qi Yuxuan's eyes, and said coldly:
"President Qi, don't think that just because I like you, it's a reason for you to bully me."
"I don't know what's so good about your woman from out of town. She must be a country bumpkin. She's not as young and beautiful as me."
Qi Yuxuan clenched his fists even tighter, his voice trembling slightly with anger:
“Let me tell you, my wife is only 17 years old this year. She is younger and prettier than you, kinder and gentler than you, more skilled than you, and more self-respecting than you. You can’t even compare to one of her fingers.”
Hao Meigui's face turned pale instantly. She hadn't expected Qi Yuxuan to defend his wife so firmly.
Her lips trembled slightly, and an overwhelming surge of anger and jealousy welled up inside her.
Who do you think you are?
Hao Meigui said through gritted teeth, "I won't give up easily, and I'll make you pay the price."
Qi Yuxuan did not back down, his gaze unwavering:
"Do whatever you want, but remember one thing: my decision will not change. If you dare to say anything negative about my wife again, you will face the consequences."
Hao Meigui knew she couldn't sway Qi Yuxuan's resolve, and the anger in her heart almost made her lose her mind.
She stubbed out her cigarette sharply, then said to Qi Yuxuan:
“I’m not convinced. How about this, let’s make a bet. You find your wife, and I want to compete with her to see what she has that I don’t. If I lose, I’ll willingly back out.”
Qi Yuxuan sneered:
“Alright, it’s a deal. My wife has won three consecutive championships in the national competitions of music, sword and martial arts. She is first-rate in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, dance and swordsmanship. What do you have to compete with her?”
Hao Meigui chuckled coldly, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
"There's nothing to disbelieve. You'll see once I find my wife. But until I find her, don't even think about causing us any trouble, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Qi Yuxuan's face was as cold as ice, and his tone was equally icy.
"Alright then, Mr. Qi, I'll wait for your call. I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, I don't believe there are women like that."
After Hao Meigui finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door.
"etc",
Hao Meigui walked to the door, but stopped when she heard Qi Yuxuan's voice.
"What, are you regretting it?"
Hao Meigui said.
"No, I called you because I wanted to give you a chance. If you still want to stay in my company, you have to clarify on TV that you were confused while filming and made up nonsense."
"What? You want me to clarify? No way!" Hao Meigui stamped her foot.
"Qi Yuxuan, just you wait and see. Without me, let's see how long your company can keep operating."
After saying that, she strode out of the filming studio, leaving behind only a cold wind and lingering smoke.
Qi Yuxuan, with his back to Hao Meigui, listened to her leave before turning to Assistant Zhuang and saying:
"You'd better manage your phone better from now on. If this happens again, you're fired."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Qi, please don't be angry. It's all my fault. I'm sorry."
Assistant Zhuang sincerely apologized.
He knew that Qi Yuxuan was a very genuine boss, and usually very gentle.
He only gets this angry when his bottom line is crossed.
"By the way, quickly give me the phone number of the celebrity interview program team, I want to call them myself and ask what's going on."
Qi Yuxuan said to Assistant Zhuang.
"Hello, is this the celebrity interview program team? I am Qi Yuxuan from Ziyue Pictures."
"Hello, Mr. Qi, what brings you here today?" Lisa asked.
"I'd like to ask, who contacted your program team that day, saying they had found my wife?"
"Oh, is that so, Mr. Qi? The other day, a man who called himself Leng Feng took a taxi and said he had found your wife."
"Leng Feng, that's great, he's one of our own. Where is he? What else did he say?"
"Mr. Qi, he said he found your wife and asked me to contact you and tell you to call him."
"But that day, your fiancée said you were getting married, so I told Leng Feng that you had stopped looking for a wife."
"Oh, I see. Production team, I have to clarify that the person who answered the phone that day was not my fiancée, but an actor in the drama who was so engrossed in filming that he was talking nonsense. Could you write a follow-up report to clarify this?"
"Oh, I see. Well then, Mr. Qi, I'll ask our team leader and call you back in a bit."
"Thank goodness I recorded it, otherwise I would have been in big trouble," Lisa said, putting down the phone to catch her breath and calm herself down.
After consulting with Qi Yuxuan, Lisa said it was okay, and they would immediately write a report to clarify the facts.
Qi Yuxuan asked the production team to give him Leng Feng's phone number so he could contact him.
He also told the production team that if any misunderstandings arise in the future, please believe that he has never given up looking for his wife.
As night falls, the city lights shine brightly.
Qi Yuxuan was filled with excitement. He held a small piece of paper with Leng Feng's phone number written on it in his hand.
After he pressed the dial button, all he heard was a cold, indifferent voice on the other end of the line:
"Sorry, the number you dialed has been cancelled."
Qi Yuxuan was stunned, and the phone in his hand seemed to become heavy.
He checked the number repeatedly, even doubting that he had remembered it wrong, but the result was still the same.
The unanswered call left him feeling inexplicably uneasy and confused.
At the same time, the wind howled past the sea.
Leng Feng stood on the beach, holding the new SIM card he had just received from the mobile company.
His eyes were filled with determination and a hint of barely perceptible loss.
It turned out that Leng Feng's emotions had been unsettled for a long time after receiving that phone call.
Hao Meigui's provocation and Qi Yuxuan's attitude made him feel extremely angry and disappointed.
To prevent these negative emotions from continuing to affect him, Leng Feng went to the mobile company and canceled his original phone number.
He threw the SIM card that held his past memories into the sea.
As the SIM card sank deeper into the seawater, Leng Feng felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart.
He told himself to let bygones be bygones and that starting over was the best option.
To be continued in the next chapter!
