Chapter 68: Tides Has Turned

Zhao Xin, commonly known as Autumn Breeze in the game, was actually the heiress to the Zhao Enterprise. Her personality and behavior contrasted deeply compared to how she was in the real world and game.

Not only was she extremely fierce and domineering in the real world, but she was also the person in complete control of the Enterprise.

Her father, Zhao Liang was even sidelined, given Zhao Xin's grandfather, Zhao Guofu doting on her and trusting her completely.

"My grandfather dotes on me and even transfers all his shares to me, but I can't do things that disappoint him. If your father, Feng Jian, complains to him, then it wouldn't look good for you." Zhao Xin calmly explained the situation.

Naturally, she would be happy to assist her, but if she did, then the situation would technically worsen for Feng Qing Rou instead.

The Zhao Enterprise and Feng Enterprise had a cooperative relationship, so it would be impolite of her to intervene in the Feng Enterprise, given her unique identity.

After all, it could easily be maliciously used by others to spread rumors of Zhao Xin wanting to swallow the Feng Enterprise.

Such a malicious rumor would definitely cause unimaginable chaos, and even her grandfather might start to question her motive.

"You should know that my grandfather will still believe me, but those brothers of mine would definitely make a mess. They've been trying to drag me down all along." Zhao Xin smiled bitterly.

Meanwhile, Feng Qing Rou remained silent for a few minutes.

What Zhao Xin said was a warning to her and the consequences of their actions.

And it wasn't the first time Zhao Xin had mentioned this specific matter. As much as she wanted to assist her, the multi-thread line of the relationship was complicated and involved too many things.

"Of course, I know about it, Xin. You told me this a long time ago, and that's why you could only assist me through virtual games to help me gain a foothold. But this time, it's different. The Divine World is not just a simple virtual game." Feng Qing Rou released her grip on Zhao Xin and said, her expression resolute.

"Right, you are the best, Xin~" Feng Qing Rou clasped her hands joyfully, having forgotten Zhao Xin's eccentric style.

Despite managing a large enterprise, and being aloof in the real world, she preferred to relax in the game instead. To her, it was a breather and a relaxing day where she could escape putting a strong front for others.

Maybe in a way, Zhao Xin herself was also quite similar to Feng Qing Rou's situation.

Both needed to put a strong front to avoid being underestimated or looked down upon.

"Alright, stop sulking now and go back to your work, Qing Rou. You still have the guild recruitment and planning your next steps in the Divine World. I'm sure Herald Fist is already rushing to level up hard to reach a city first." Zhao Xin kindly warned her, while opening her message feature.

"What about you then?" Feng Qing Rou responded with a question of her own. "Don't you need to deal with your businesses?"

"Heh, I've already finished them." Zhao Xin snickered and waved her hands.

"Alright, don't bother me. I'm going to contact Lin Feng now." She added.

"Huh? When did you get his contact?" Startled, Feng Qing Rou was surprised her bestie was able to obtain his contact. Even she was unable to, given the circumstances and unfortunate timing.

"I got his contact when he decided to split us into three teams. I pestered him like crazy to get him to open a conversation with me." Zhao Xin flashed a proud smile on her face, completely void of her previous serious demeanor.

"Ahh, you really are like a rogue." Despite saying that, Feng Qing Rou gave her a thumbs up.

Meanwhile, back on the bench at Oakwood Town, Xu Feng was rendered speechless when another person contacted him.

"Just what is this play? After the big boss, now the mini-boss decided to show up?" He murmured, seemingly in disbelief that he was contacted repeatedly by Gentle Wind and Autumn Breeze.
