Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Chapter 288 My Fiancé's Comatose Uncle (54)

Qi Ning is still young and a woman, so there are bound to be some older executives in the group who take advantage of their seniority and are not willing to be managed.

Speaking of which, those senior executives were all capable assistants under Qi Tongsheng, and they were about the same age as Qi Tongsheng. After many years in the group, they were already like seasoned veterans.

That is why some of them even refer to themselves as Qi Ning's uncles.

After Qi Ning took office as chairman, he immediately dismissed several troublemakers and promoted his own people to replace them, showing them no mercy whatsoever.

Those bosses probably didn't expect Qi Ning to be so ruthless, actually dismissing them directly.

Unable to find Qi Ning, they all went to Qi Tongsheng to complain.

Not long after, Qi Tongsheng called Qi Ning to plead for those people.

Qi Ning interrupted him before he could finish speaking: "Dad, when you plead for them, have you ever thought about why I did it?"

“Of course I know,” Qi Tongsheng said, “but they all came to me to apologize, and from now on…”

"Too late! Why didn't you do this sooner?"

“Ningning, these guys are all veterans of the company. Your Uncle Wang and Uncle Wu were here when your mother and I first started the business. They have a different kind of relationship with us. Leave some room for maneuver, so you can meet again in the future. You can’t go too far.”

Qi Ning sneered: "What uncles and elders? In a company, there are only superiors and subordinates, no relatives or friends. They were the ones who were disobedient to management first. Do you want me to give them face? These people have been in Qi's for so many years, how much profit have they made? I haven't settled accounts with those few parasites one by one, which is already giving them face."

"Also, since you've handed the Qi Group over to me, you don't need to worry too much. I know what I'm doing."

After saying that, Qi Ning hung up the phone without waiting for Qi Tongsheng's reaction.

Then she called her secretary in: "Go and tell those old fogies that if they behave themselves, I can still give them some face. But if they have no shame, I'll have to settle things with them."

"Besides, they've already gained enough by being dismissed. They should be content. If they try to play dirty tricks on me, it's uncertain whether I and the Qi Group will be in trouble, but they will definitely have to go to jail for a few years first."

"Yes," the secretary replied. "I'll go right away."

"and many more."

"Chairman Qi?"

"Just relay the exact words, no need to be too subtle."

"Yes," the secretary quickly replied.

After the secretary left, Qi Ning instructed the system, "System, keep an eye on things for me."

"Okay, host, don't worry."

Qi Ning actually had dirt on those old foxes, and was confident they wouldn't dare cause trouble. He only had the system keep an eye on them as a precaution.

Sure enough, after the secretary relayed Qi Ning's words, those old geezers quieted down.

After dealing with a few troublemakers and replacing them with his own people, Qi Ning had completely taken control of the Qi Group.

After she took control of the Qi Group, her cooperation with Fu Jinnan became even closer.

With Qi Ning's assistance, Fu Jinnan's position in the Fu Group became more secure.

Qi Ning's cooperation with Fu Jinnan further enhanced the strength of the Qi Group.

The two complemented and supported each other.

At the same time, Fu Jinnan began to suppress Fu Desheng and his son Fu Shiyi in every way, both openly and secretly.

Fu Desheng had long known that this day would come, but Fu Shiyi had never thought that Fu Jinnan would pose any threat to him before, and only now did he truly realize it.

Fu Desheng had completely given up hope for Qi Ruo long after Qi Tongsheng handed over the Qi Group to Qi Ning, and wanted Fu Shiyi and Qi Ruo to separate, but Fu Shiyi did not agree.

After being suppressed by Fu Jinnan, Fu Desheng blamed Qi Ruo for all his anger.

He repeatedly told Fu Shiyi, "I'm asking you to come up with a reason to break up with Qi Ruo. We'll find you another marriage partner who is a good match for you, someone of equal social standing and ability, and who will be beneficial to you. Do you understand?"

"Dad, aren't you just discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose?" Fu Shiyi said, frowning.

"Discarding a used tool after it has served its purpose?"

Fu Desheng scoffed, "Even a donkey can pull a millstone, so what use is Qi Ruo? She's not even as good as a donkey! Qi Ruo is not only useless, she can only drag you down!"

"Dad, could you please not say such hurtful things!"

"You still think it sounds awful? Isn't that the truth?"

Fu Shiyi knew that although what Fu Desheng said was harsh, it was indeed the truth.

But he still said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with Qi Ruo, and there's no need to use marriage to increase our strength."

Fu Desheng looked at Fu Shiyi with exasperation: "What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? If you continue like this, how will my son and I maintain any standing in the Fu Group?"

Fu Shiyi has been having a lot of trouble lately because of Fu Jinnan. Several projects under his management have run into problems, and it's obvious that Fu Jinnan is behind it.

Fu Jinnan's ruthless actions were probably not only due to his own reasons, but also related to Qi Ning; he likely wanted to take revenge on her behalf.

Despite this, Fu Shiyi still had no intention of breaking up with Qi Ruo.

After so many setbacks, he and Qi Ruo finally got together and their relationship was at its best. How could he break up with her?

"Dad, we can think of other ways. I will not break up with Qi Ruo."

Upon hearing this, Fu Desheng was furious and slapped Fu Shiyi hard across the face.

"I'm asking you, are you sure you don't want to break up? Are you still planning to marry her?"

Fu Shiyi rubbed his aching face and replied, "That's right."

"Fine, get out!"

Fu Shiyi slammed the door and left, and the father and son parted on bad terms.

Fu Desheng not only began to distance himself from Fu Shiyi at work, but he also ignored him and Qi Ruo'ai when they met at the Fu family's old house.

Fu Shiyi was also holding a grudge, and even when Wu Lixia came to persuade him, he did not bow his head to Fu Desheng.

Fu Shiyi knew that as long as he didn't break up with Qi Ruo, no amount of backing down would help.

At the dinner table, both father and son had cold faces, which even the old man and woman could see. They also knew it was because of Qi Ruo.

Seeing this, Qi Ning and Fu Jinnan exchanged a glance without making a sound.

After they finished their meal, they returned from the old house to Fu Jinnan's villa.

Qi Ning sat in front of the dressing mirror applying face cream, and casually discussed with Fu Jinnan: "Judging from the recent state of Fu Shiyi and his son, they seem to have developed a rift."

“Hmm.” Fu Jinnan naturally saw it too. “This is a good thing for us. It seems that Fu Desheng is being pushed to the limit.”

Qi Ning looked at her face in the mirror and smiled: "It's better to push him to the limit, the more the better."

Fu Jinnan didn't respond to that. He walked to Qi Ning's side, leaned over the dressing table, and looked down at her.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Qi Ning asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No."

Fu Jinnan said helplessly, "You've been focusing all your attention on work and them, and you're still talking about them at a time like this. Do we look like a newlywed couple?"

Qi Ning then understood what Fu Jinnan meant, and she smiled and said, "What, are you upset that I neglected you?"

"Ah."

Fu Jinnan nodded seriously.

"Are you angry?" Qi Ning asked again.

"Kind of."

"What should I do?"

"What do you say?"

Fu Jinnan leaned back on the dressing table, arms crossed, watching her.

Qi Ning stood up, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips.

"Is this all right?"

"not enough."

Fu Jinnan whispered something, then grabbed Qi Ning's waist, turned her around, and made her sit on the dressing table before leaning down to kiss her.

Qi Ning had a patch of bare skin on her back that wasn't covered by her nightgown, which pressed against the cold mirror, making her shiver.

She nudged Fu Jinnan, and only then did Fu Jinnan slowly release her lips.

He stared at Qi Ning's rosy lips for a second, then carried her to the bed.

Meanwhile, Qi Ruo was also at Fu Shiyi's residence.

Although they are not married yet, after the hotel affair, and given that they are nominally engaged, Shen Yunhui and Qi Tongsheng turn a blind eye to their cohabitation.

Qi Ruo took a glass of milk to Fu Shiyi's study.

Fu Shiyi took a look, then put it down again.

"Didn't I ask you to make me a cup of coffee? What are you doing bringing me a glass of milk?"

Qi Ruo put her hand on Fu Shiyi's shoulder: "It's too late. If you drink coffee now, you'll have insomnia tonight."

Fu Shiyi paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Never mind, you can leave now."

Qi Ruo didn't go out; instead, she sat down next to Fu Shiyi.

Are you that busy?

Fu Shiyi remained silent.

Qi Ruo actually picked up on some of his phone calls and realized that it was about the company and that it was related to Fu Jinnan and his group.

Fu Shiyi didn't talk to her much, and she couldn't help him.

Qi Ruo noticed Fu Shiyi's furrowed brows and, as if to ease his mind, casually remarked, "My mom called me tonight."

"What did you say?" Fu Shiyi asked.

Upon receiving his response, Qi Ruo perked up and replied somewhat shyly, "She asked about us..."

Fu Shiyi instantly understood that Shen Yunhui was calling to urge him to get married.

His parents are now pressuring him to break up with Qi Ruo, while Qi Ruo is thinking about marrying him.

If he really married her at this time, his father would be so angry that he would sever his father-son relationship with her.

Fu Shiyi glanced at Qi Ruo and suddenly asked, "Your father gave the entire Qi Group to Qi Ning. Did he say anything to you?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ruo's expression suddenly froze.

"What do you mean?"

Qi Tongsheng never said he would give Qi Ruo anything; he only said he would ensure that Qi Ruo and her daughter Shen Yunhui would have enough to eat and wear.

Qi Ruo also felt a sense of loss and secretly envied Qi Ning. Although they were sisters, Qi Tongsheng treated them very differently.

But because she felt guilty towards Qi Ning, Qi Ruo dared not mention anything.

Fu Shiyi's question at that moment instantly struck a nerve with Qi Ruo.

Fu Shiyi realized that he shouldn't have asked that question.

He simply remembered what his father had said, and then thought of Qi Ning, and subconsciously asked Qi Ruo a question.

Seeing that Qi Ruo's expression changed, he quickly said, "It's nothing, I was just asking."

But Qi Ruo had already been stung by his words. She held back her tears and asked, "Do you despise me now?"

"No, you are overthinking."

“I’ve said it before, our social statuses are too different, we’re not suitable to be together. You kept saying that status didn’t matter, that you didn’t care, and insisted on being with me, but now…”

Qi Ru sniffed: "Or maybe we should break up."

Fu Shiyi was already troubled by company and parental issues, and Qi Ruo started threatening to break up with him, which made him very impatient.

"Alright, I was just asking casually, why are you being so sensitive? Stop bothering me and go to sleep."

Hearing this, Qi Ruo became even more upset and returned to the Qi family home crying that very night.

Shen Yunhui was heartbroken to see Qi Ruo crying all the way home in the middle of the night.

She hugged Qi Ruo and asked, "Ruo Ruo, what's wrong? Did Fu Shiyi bully you?"

Qi Ruo just cried, but didn't say anything.

Shen Yunhui guessed, "Did his parents say something, or did Fu Shiyi say something?"

Qi Ruo then explained the whole story to Shen Yunhui.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhui immediately burst into tears as well: "Silly child, it's not your fault, the Fu family is just looking down on people!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, looking incredibly pitiful.

Qi Tongsheng stood aside and watched, his eyes naturally revealing a hint of reluctance.

After crying for a long time, Qi Ruo finally stopped crying. When she saw Qi Tongsheng, she said bravely, "Dad, don't worry, I'm fine. At worst, I'll break up with Fu Shiyi."

After she returned to her room, Shen Yunhui and Qi Tongsheng were alone in the living room.

"Tong Sheng, you saw it too. Ruoruo hasn't even married into the family yet, and the Fu family is already bullying her like this. What will happen if she really marries into the family?"

"Then why don't we just let them break up, and I'll find Ruoruo another marriage?" Qi Tongsheng asked.

But Shen Yunhui shook her head: "The incident at the hotel caused quite a stir, and Fu Shiyi ruined Ruoruo's reputation. If they break up, what good family or good man would be willing to accept Ruoruo?"

"Even if Ruoruo marries someone else, that person will probably use this to manipulate her."

This is true.

Qi Tongsheng nodded slightly.

Seeing Shen Yunhui's worried expression towards Qi Ruo, he couldn't bear it and hugged her, saying, "Alright, stop crying. Ruo Ruo is our daughter, of course I feel sorry for her too."

The next day, Qi Tongsheng went to Fu Jinnan and Qi Ning's current residence.

This was Qi Tongsheng's first time here. He looked around and saw Qi Ning and Fu Jinnan sitting together, seemingly getting along well, so he felt relieved.

Seeing how well Qi Ning was doing, and thinking about Qi Ruo's situation, Qi Tongsheng sighed inwardly.

"Did you need something from me?" Qi Ning asked.

Qi Ning had heard from the system that Qi Ruo had run back to the Qi family crying last night, and she guessed that Qi Tongsheng had come for Qi Ruo.

Qi Tongsheng glanced at Fu Jinnan.

Qi Ning understood what he meant: "He's fine here, so just say what you have to say."

Qi Tongsheng then spoke: "Ningning, I came to talk to you about Ruoruo."
