Chapter 96 - 88: Siqing, Learning About Love by DoingChapter 96: Chapter 88: Siqing, Learning About Love by Doing
"We don’t have any real feelings for each other."
"So I should ’cook’ for him? I understand. But it’ll have to wait a few days. It’s an inconvenient time for me."
"And this is just to thank him for his advice?"
Xia Shiqing first stressed that they had no real feelings for each other, then accepted the female netizen’s suggestion.
She wasn’t psychologically or physically opposed to being intimate with Chen Mo.
She just didn’t know how to handle the timing.
So when the female netizen suggested she ’cook’ for Chen Mo to thank him, she didn’t find it unacceptable at all.
It was just that she was on her period these few days, so it wasn’t very convenient.
Seeing Xia Shiqing’s reply, a hint of disappointment flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes.
Still, it was just a matter of a few days. Once her period was over, everything would fall into place naturally.
Just then, he saw Xia Shiqing’s last question, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.
"Well, there is... I just don’t know if you can accept it, sis..."
Chen Mo sent her some information about "import investments."
If distributing ’that kind of thing’ wasn’t illegal, he would have loved to send her some instructional videos on "import investments" made by famous foreign production companies for her to study.
"Do all girlfriends do this for their boyfriends?"
Xia Shiqing didn’t answer whether she could accept it, only asking if it was something everyone did.
"It’s actually a normal act of intimacy between couples."
Chen Mo thought for a moment. ’It should be... maybe... probably... almost... more or less, right?’
After all, Pan Kejia had been the one to proactively ask him for "import investments."
"Then it’s no problem. I can accept it."
"Thank you. I have to get busy now, bye-bye!"
Soon, Xia Shiqing sent a message saying she could accept it.
As long as it was something normal couples did, she had no problem with it. She could accept it all.
And Chen Mo noticed that the little green dot below her profile picture had disappeared.
Which meant she had gone offline.
DING~
Just then, the folding phone Chen Mo had placed on his desk rang.
Considering how quickly Xia Shiqing had gone offline, he guessed this WeChat message was from her.
As for the content...
It was probably just what he was thinking.
He picked up his phone and tapped the WeChat notification.
Soon, his chat with Xia Shiqing appeared on the screen.
There was a new message at the bottom.
"What are you up to?"
"Just at home, scrolling through the drama online."
Chen Mo replied with a smile.
Xia Shiqing sent another WeChat message: "Are you free tonight?"
"I am. What’s up?"
"Can I come over to your place tonight? I want to thank you properly for the Hongyin Jingtong business."
Xia Shiqing replied almost instantly.
"Of course you can."
A smile spread across Chen Mo’s face.
It seemed things were just as he’d thought. Xia Shiqing was coming to his place tonight to thank him.
"Then I’ll go home and change after work before heading over."
"OK."
Chen Mo smiled, a look of anticipation in his eyes.
"Something came up for tonight, so I’ll probably be late. Just make yourself at home and rest a bit when you get here."
Chen Mo remembered he had also made plans with Pan Kejia for the evening, so he sent her a WeChat message to let her know.
’Pan Kejia should be willing to be rescheduled, right?’
"Okay! I’ll wait for you, no matter how late."
Pan Kejia replied instantly.
Seeing her reply, Chen Mo smiled and shook his head.
He still preferred seeing her defiant and stubborn side.
「Meanwhile, in Xia Shiqing’s office.」
She sat in front of her computer, and after a moment’s hesitation, she opened her browser.
She began searching for information related to "import investments"...
「Soon, it was 3:00 PM, and the stock market closed for the day.」
As expected, Hongyin Jingtong closed at its 10% limit down.
Many people who wanted to sell couldn’t manage to do so.
Because it was all sell orders, with absolutely no buyers.
Everyone’s mood was pessimistic, feeling that the next few days would likely be the same.
With each passing day, they would lose another 10%.
Now, they were all starting to envy Xihe, who had liquidated their position early and pocketed the cash, avoiding a huge loss.
At the same time, as various parties kept digging, the full details of Ai Yikun’s downfall were unearthed.
Ai Yikun’s manager had been fired by Hongyin Jingtong, the reason being that she had failed to properly supervise Ai Yikun’s private life.
Upon learning this, a rival company immediately approached her.
They offered her a large sum of money to spill the dirt on Hongyin Jingtong and Ai Yikun.
Since she was the first one to rush to the station after Ai Yikun’s incident, she knew the most information.
Everyone wanted to take this opportunity to completely bury Hongyin Jingtong and Ai Yikun for good.
So, the manager told them everything she knew.
According to her, Ai Yikun had brought a woman to his hotel the night before last.
Afterward, the two of them were getting ready to drive out for some excitement.
But since they had both been drinking, they accidentally hit a passerby’s car in the underground garage.
The woman personally witnessed Ai Yikun pay a staggering 6.5 million in compensation to buy the passerby’s silence.
So, the woman got greedy and demanded Ai Yikun also give her 6.5 million in hush money.
But Ai Yikun didn’t have that much cash on hand and was only willing to give her 2 million.
The woman insisted on 6.5 million, threatening to call the police otherwise.
After a full day of haggling, Ai Yikun reluctantly agreed.
However, he proposed paying in installments, and the woman agreed to that.
Frustrated, Ai Yikun played video games all night and only went to sleep in the morning.
When the woman called him over a dozen times that morning with no answer, she thought Ai Yikun was playing her. In a fit of anger, she followed the passerby’s example and called the police.
But she regretted it as soon as she hung up.
The passerby dared to call the police because his own hands were clean, but hers weren’t!
But the police didn’t care about any of that. Based on the information and evidence she provided, they arrested Ai Yikun on the spot.
