Qin Chong looked directly at Gu Qingcheng.

In his eyes, Gu Qingcheng’s smile seemed more like a sinister glare, instilling in him a fear of being hunted at any moment.

“Cousin-in-law, it really was just a slip of the tongue.”

Gu Qingcheng, observing Qin Chong’s falsely benign expression, smiled, “Cousin, if it was a slip of the tongue, then so be it. It’s not a big deal. I’m very grateful to you for overseeing the affairs of Gu Corporation today, and I thank you on behalf of my father.”

Hearing Gu Qingcheng’s flawless words, Qin Chong clenched his fists tightly and then slowly relaxed them.

He was furious but powerless against Gu Qingcheng.

“Your father and I are like brothers. Given his current situation, it’s only natural for me to step in. It’s just a small effort, nothing worth mentioning.”

“You’re too modest, cousin,” Gu Qingcheng chuckled, “Since Sicheng is now acting as chairman and needs to handle company affairs, if cousin has nothing else, why not stay for the meeting?”

Qin Chong’s forced display of affection cracked.

Gu Qingcheng’s words, superficially inviting him to the meeting, actually implied he had lost to her and should leave if he didn’t want to lose face.

Damn it!

His forehead vein bulged as he feigned a cough with a forced smile.

“I won’t stay for the meeting. I’m still unwell, and with Sicheng here, I feel reassured. I’ll head home to rest.”

Gu Qingcheng’s lips curved up, a hint of mockery in her eyes. Qin Chong had the decency to leave on his own, saving her the trouble of having to dismiss him publicly.

She offered politely, “Let me see you out, cousin.”

“No need,” Qin Chong waved off Gu Qingcheng, “You and Sicheng stay busy, I’ll be going now.”

Gu Qingcheng watched Qin Chong leave, then turned and walked to the chairman’s vacant seat, pushing aside the large, comfortable executive chair. She sweetly called out to Huo Sicheng, “Hubby, come here.”

Huo Sicheng maneuvered his wheelchair to Gu Qingcheng, only to find her pushing his wheelchair into the chairman’s position.

Standing behind Huo Sicheng, Gu Qingcheng looked over the board members of Gu Corporation, feeling a rush of triumph, as if she had seized control of the entire corporation.

If Gu Tianhao could see her and Huo Sicheng in charge of Gu Corporation, she bet he would be infuriated.

However, she wouldn’t let Gu Tianhao die, not yet.

“From today onwards, it’ll be tough on you, Hubby,” she said gently to Huo

Sicheng, “All affairs of Gu Corporation will temporarily be in your hands.”

Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng with adoration, “Okay.”

The board members of Gu Corporation were stunned by the tender scene between Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng.

Huo Sicheng, known for his aloofness and ruthlessness, was unexpectedly gentle.

“You go ahead, I’ll wait for you in the chairman’s office,” Gu Qingcheng smiled at Huo Sicheng, “Come find me when you’re done.”

Huo Sicheng: “Okay.”

Gu Qingcheng left the meeting room with the poise and authority of a victorious general.

As she headed towards Gu Tianhao’s office, she heard Chu He’s voice and turned towards the emergency exit.

In the emergency passage, Chu He stood at the door, her face a picture of grief and anger, accusing Qin Chong, “How could you not help me?”

Qin Chong sighed, “Chu He, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but we are no match for Gu Qingcheng.”

“You’re talking nonsense! It’s just Gu Qingcheng, can’t you handle her?” Chu He retorted.

“What can I use against Gu Qingcheng?” Qin Chong questioned her irritably, “Whatever tactics we use against her, she effortlessly counters them, leaving us with no way to respond.”

Chu He seethed with hatred for Gu Qingcheng.

“This wretch, how can I kill her! I can’t stand this suppression anymore. Gu

Qingcheng must die, even a thousand cuts won’t satiate my hatred.”

“Shh!” Qin Chong quickly covered Chu He’s mouth, “Be careful, walls have ears.

Don’t talk recklessly.”

“What’s there to fear!” Chu He pushed away Qin Chong’s hand, her eyes blazing with fury, “Gu Qingcheng knows I want her dead, and she wants me dead too. I dare to say it to her face, no need to hide.”

Qin Chong looked at Chu He, his brow furrowed in anger.

“Don’t provoke Gu Qingcheng recently,” he cautioned her, “You’re no match for her. Gu Qingcheng will likely be preoccupied with the Peach Lotus Cup and won’t bother with you. Just avoid making her angry.”

“If I don’t provoke her, will she let me be?” Chu He glared at Qin Chong, “I’ve always yielded to her to avoid offending her, even willing to kneel before her, but my concessions didn’t stop her from targeting me.”

“Gu Qingcheng has been busy lately,” Qin Chong tried to reason with her, “With the Peach Lotus Cup finals, she won’t have time for you. She cares more about Di Yi than her own life, so just heed my advice and don’t stir trouble.”

“The Peach Lotus Cup finals are just one day. After that, she’ll still trouble me,” Chu He said bitterly, “Your advice is useless. Once the Peach Lotus Cup ends, she’ll definitely come after me.”

Qin Chong sighed, “I never expected Gu Qingcheng to come to Gu Corporation. She told me she was busy with Di Yi.”

He paused, then added, “Regardless, the day after tomorrow is the Peach Lotus Cup finals. She’ll prioritize her career and won’t care about Gu Corporation. But she put the Peach Lotus Cup aside to deal with Gu’s affairs first, which shows she’s been eyeing power.”

“Whether Gu Qingcheng had designs on power or not, Gu Corporation is now in her hands,” Chu He reminded him angrily, “Just wait and see, Huo Sicheng may be in power now, but soon it’ll be Gu Qingcheng.”

Qin Chong said unhappily, “No need to wait, by the end of today’s meeting, Gu Corporation will become Huo Corporation. You haven’t seen Huo Sicheng’s capabilities; he’s very formidable.”

“We can’t let Gu Qingcheng get Gu Corporation,” Chu He ground her teeth in fury, “If she takes control, I’m finished. I’ve finally found a doctor for Xiao Mei and need money. I can’t let Gu Qingcheng cut off my finances. Qin, think of something, how can we deal with Gu Qingcheng?”

Despite their efforts to keep their voices down, Gu Qingcheng heard everything they said.

With a cold smile on her lips and mockery in her eyes, she approached Chu He and Qin Chong, “Chu He, instead of asking my cousin how to deal with me, why not ask me directly?”
