When Qin Hui returned home, it was already past ten in the evening. Jiang Yanxi was sitting on the sofa, watching the stock price fluctuations on her computer. Ever since she acquired the Zhang family's stocks today, she had made a substantial profit.
As for those who were unaware of her actions, they did not have high hopes for Jiang Yanxi's decision. Unfortunately, by the time they realized what had happened, it was likely too late.
"Yanxi, have you eaten? If not, I'll start cooking right away."
Qin Hui smiled gently. Although he had many things he wanted to say to Jiang Yanxi, he had to fill his stomach first.
Seeing Qin Hui's concerned expression, Jiang Yanxi's anger had already subsided by more than half. After all, this guy still had her in his heart.
"Go cook. I want braised pork today," Jiang Yanxi commanded like a queen.
"Alright, I'll go make it right away." Qin Hui immediately walked into the kitchen.
Watching Qin Hui busy himself, Jiang Yanxi's lips curved slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
"No, I must set some rules for this guy today. Otherwise, he'll be led astray by other women sooner or later." Recalling the alluring voice on the phone, Jiang Yanxi decided not to let Qin Hui off the hook. After all, this was her beloved toy, and she couldn't bear to give him to others.
While dinner wasn't ready yet, Jiang Yanxi opened her computer again and started browsing. Seeing the ever-increasing numbers, Jiang Yanxi couldn't help but grin like a crescent moon. If things continued at this pace, it would only be a matter of time before her Jiang Group became the largest company in Jiangnan Province, and that time would be very soon, within a month at most.
After all, assimilating so much capital and industry would take time to integrate. Once the integration was complete, she would be the richest woman in Jiangnan Province. The thought of so much capital and so many companies made Jiang Yanxi smile again. In the past, this was something she wouldn't even dare to imagine.
"Qin Hui, how did you actually do it?" At this moment, Qin Hui's figure was shrouded in a layer of mystery in Jiang Yanxi's mind.
Half an hour later, Qin Hui emerged with a plate of braised pork and two bowls of rice. Qin Hui had considered making a few more dishes, but he decided against it. If he waited any longer, Jiang Yanxi might starve.
Smelling the fragrant rice and braised pork, Jiang Yanxi's appetite was greatly stimulated. She casually set aside her Apple laptop and began to feast. Hei Hu, who was beside them, also stuck out its tongue and looked at Qin Hui.
"Don't worry, there's some for you." Qin Hui turned and went back into the kitchen to prepare a portion for Hei Hu as well. After petting Hei Hu's head, Qin Hui returned to the dining table.
After all, Qin Hui had to maintain a good relationship with Hei Hu if he wanted to easily boss it around in the future. If he let it eat well now, he could exploit it relentlessly later. The Hei Hu, enjoying its delicious meal, could never have imagined that this seemingly foolish human was already plotting against it.
In just a few minutes, Jiang Yanxi had finished her bowl of rice, even licking the grains of rice from the corners of her mouth.
"How is it? After acquiring the Zhang family's stocks, what's your next plan?" Qin Hui also put down his chopsticks and asked calmly.
"First, I'll integrate those companies, and then further expand the Jiang Group. Soon, the Jiang Group will become the largest company in Jiangnan Province," Jiang Yanxi said proudly.
"That's good. With a shrewd woman like you, I can rest assured. However, try to delegate as much work as possible. Don't overwork yourself." Qin Hui added. Although this conversation with Jiang Yanxi felt a bit like discussing domestic trivialities, wasn't that what life was all about? Ordinary life was made up of such trivial matters.
"I know. By the way, who was with you when I called?" Jiang Yanxi focused her gaze on Qin Hui and asked curiously.
Jiang Yanxi's sudden question caught Qin Hui off guard. Although Qin Hui could come up with many excuses, he knew that their relationship required mutual trust. Therefore, Qin Hui saw no need to lie.
"I was with Chen Jiaxue. She was kidnapped by Zhang Min, and I rescued her." Qin Hui didn't go into the specific details, but summarized it concisely.
"Alright, I'll let it go this time. If you really like Chen Jiaxue, maybe I can find an opportunity to talk to her." Jiang Yanxi said after some thought. She knew that Qin Hui had a place for Chen Jiaxue in his heart, and even though she and Qin Hui were married, she couldn't prevent that. Most importantly, her marriage with Qin Hui was just a pretense.
"Sure, I believe she'll be very happy to meet you." Qin Hui nodded immediately. Honestly, Qin Hui also wanted them to resolve their past grievances, as there were indeed some misunderstandings between them.
...
After the incident with Zhang Min, the medical staff at Huichuntang were released. Not only that, but Qin Hui also eventually clarified everything through the media. As for the ultimate culprit, Zhang Min, he had disappeared from public view. No one cared where Zhang Min went, but Huichuntang, which had briefly gained notoriety, was deeply remembered by everyone. Because of this exposure, Huichuntang's business began to flourish, which was the effect of public opinion. Sometimes, public opinion was a double-edged sword, depending on how Qin Hui wielded it.
In order to retain people like Mao Qishan, Qin Hui specifically imparted the first three chapters of the Nine Yang Divine Needle to him. With this foundation, Qin Hui was confident that there would be no more medical accidents.
While Qin Hui's career was progressing rapidly, Jiang Yanxi's Jiang Group was not far behind. Jiang Yanxi was decisive in the business world. The acquisition of so many industries at once greatly enhanced her reputation. The business magnates who were once on par with the Jiang Group now looked up to Jiang Yanxi. Jiang Yanxi's fame had become widely known. Previously, her fame was entirely due to her appearance, but now it was due to her capabilities!
...
"You wretched bitch! I've finally found you. How dare you use蠱毒 (gu poison) to harm me." Zhou Qiming waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him rushed towards a beautiful woman. Although Qin Hui had warned Zhou Qiming earlier that the person who poisoned him was not simple, Zhou Qiming was a person who sought revenge for every wrong. Since she had tried to harm him, she had to pay the price!
The woman, subdued by two bodyguards, smiled sinisterly. "Zhou Qiming, you killed my family without hesitation to build your career back then. Giving you a little 蠱毒 (gu poison) is too lenient for you."
"Did you really think I was given to you for free? Since you've come to my doorstep today, don't blame me for being ruthless." After speaking, the woman directly smashed the black jar at her feet. As the black jar broke, venomous scorpions and snakes crawled out. The scene was gruesome, and even the two battle-hardened bodyguards felt a chill at the sight, as such a scene was too bizarre.
Hiss! Hiss! Before the two bodyguards could even resist, they were stung by the scorpions' venomous needles into their blood vessels. Within a few dozen seconds, the bodyguards, who were full of life moments ago, had their complexions turn black, and they finally collapsed.
