Some lost major deals in business, their economic chains broke, and they were on the verge of bankruptcy.
Others were directly acquired.
Su's Group experienced three consecutive days of stock plunges. Su Chengyu, with his character and scandals, was immediately removed from his position as CEO by the board of directors, and his cousin Su Chengfeng took over as president.
During this period, Zhao Ze also discovered that the person who had assisted Lu Yushan in causing trouble behind the scenes was Liu Ying, the operator of the top headline account "Ying Shuo Finance."
He immediately found people to expose her dark history and counterattack. Soon, she lost countless followers, ultimately leading to "Ying Shuo Finance" being directly shut down by the platform.
On Wednesday, just before closing time, in the president's office of Zhuo Sheng, Qin Si Ye had just finished his work when he received a call from his uncle.
"Si Ye, you've been quite busy these past few days. You haven't returned to the Qin family for two or three days. Your grandmother mentions you every day."
Qin Si Ye gently squeezed his temples. "I'll go back to see her today. I've been too busy these past few days."
"I heard about what happened at the Qin family that day. Although Jiang Jie is stubborn and denies her involvement, your father still kicked her out of the Qin family," Qin Xiu Yi said in a low voice.
"Oh." Qin Si Ye replied with a thoughtful single word.
Qin Xiu Yi continued, "You handled the Lu Yushan matter beautifully. You've finally gotten rid of that bothersome attachment. Should I congratulate you?"
Qin Si Ye's lips curved slightly. "No need for congratulations. I only regret not getting rid of her sooner."
"Alright, it's all in the past. You need to look forward. Now that you're free, you can pursue your happiness again. That Shen..."
Knowing that his uncle would eventually steer the conversation in that direction, Qin Si Ye quickly interrupted him. "Uncle, I have some urgent matters to attend to here, so I can't chat anymore."
With that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
At this moment, Zhao Ze knocked and walked in.
"President, we've contacted the netizen called 'Cake Group'. It seems to be a child."
"Oh? Quickly tell me the number." A hint of surprise appeared on Qin Si Ye's face.
The person who had helped him so much was actually a child. This was completely beyond his expectation. Who could it be?
Zhao Ze gave him the number, and he quickly dialed it.
When the call was answered on the third ring, a young, childish voice came from the other end.
"Hello? Who is it?"
Qin Si Ye found the voice somewhat familiar. "Excuse me, are you 'Cake Group'?"
"Uncle Qin, is that really you? How did you get my phone number?" Chen Chen said excitedly on the phone.
Ever since he had gone to Zhuo Sheng Group alone to find Qin Si Ye last time, Shen Xi, fearing they would get lost again, had bought each of them a smart watch.
He had filled in his mobile number when registering on the forum that day.
Qin Si Ye's eyes curved upwards. "Anyone who has helped me, I will do my best to find them."
"It's really nothing, just a small effort. Uncle Qin doesn't need to take it to heart," Chen Chen said with a chuckle on the phone.
"No. You stood against so many people by yourself, supporting me. I've kept it all in my heart. Tell me what you want."
Although Qin Si Ye was ruthless towards his "enemies," he always found ways to repay those who had helped him, even with the smallest favor.
Even if that person was a child.
Chen Chen on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment and quietly replied, "If you really want to repay me, then buy three cakes and send them over."
Cakes? Qin Si Ye then remembered that his username was 'Cake Group' because he liked eating cakes.
Yan Yan must have been involved too.
As expected, in the next second, he heard Yan Yan's voice, "Uncle Qin, remember to have the same three flavors as last time."
Qin Si Ye's lips curved into a charming smile. "Thank you, you two. Is that all?"
"Mmm," they both replied in unison.
"Alright. From now on, whatever cakes you want to eat, I'll cover them all. They'll be delivered in forty minutes for sure," Qin Si Ye readily agreed.
Just as Qin Si Ye was about to hang up, Chen Chen suddenly called out to him, "Uncle Qin, wait a moment. It's best to contact you through Mommy for ordering cakes."
