Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

Coffee shop on the corner.

A bank card was placed on the table, and slender fingertips pushed it towards the man opposite.

"Mr. Zhao, your team has a lot of influential big V accounts, right? It shouldn't be difficult to get the pace up, right?"

The young man pushed his glasses up and looked at the young woman before him. She had delicate features, and a small oval face, the size of a palm, with a faint smile that always hung on her face. It was a pretty smile, but it felt distant.

"Of course, no problem." Zhao Yao asked with a polite smile, "But, Miss Qiao, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I can ask it."

"I don't know if I can ask, so Mr. Zhao, please don't ask." Qiao Ruyi smiled lightly and said softly, "I'll pay, you do the work."

Zhao Yao nodded and accepted the bank card. "Ms. Qiao, the Qiao Group is already spending a lot of money to suppress public opinion. If we continue to lead the trend, the more money they invest, the more you—"

"It has nothing to do with me." Qiao Ruyi smiled. "You don't need to link me to the Qiao Group. Just do as I say and let this scandal get bigger and bigger. The more unpleasant it is, the better. Mr. Zhao's team relies on public opinion for their livelihood. I can guarantee that your profits this year will be higher than in previous years."

Qiao Ruyi took a sip of coffee and said, "Mr. Zhao made this deal with me, but he can't make it with anyone else."

"Of course, Miss Qiao, don't worry."

Qiao Ruyi smiled lightly, stood up and left the coffee shop.

Watching her car drive away, Zhao Yao picked up his phone and said, "Boss, Miss Qiao has left."

The other party said a few words, and Zhao Yao nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, he walked out of the coffee shop and a black Maybach stopped at his feet.

Zhao Yao opened the car door and got in, handing the bank card to the man in the back seat. "Boss, this is the publicity fee paid by Miss Qiao."

The slender fingers picked up the bank card, and a smile appeared in her narrow eyes.

"Did you call her last night?"

"Yes." Zhao Yao said truthfully, "Ms. Qiao wants to work with my team."

"Cooperation?" Ling Che smiled. "Why does she want to go after the Qiao Group?"

"I wanted to ask that question just now," Zhao Yao said with an embarrassed look on his face. "But Miss Qiao didn't want to talk about it."

"Just do whatever she tells you to do." Ling Che put the bank card in his hand and the faint fragrance of her body away, then glanced at Qi Shui.

Qi Shui took out another bank card from his wallet and handed it to Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao immediately understood, "Thank you, boss. We will definitely cooperate with Miss Qiao."

After Zhao Yao got off the car, Ling Che played with the bank card in his hand, with an unclear look in his deep eyes.

......

A light purple sports car stopped in front of the Qiao Mansion.

Qiao Ruyi got out of the car and walked hurriedly inside, just in time to meet Qiu Gui, who had a worried look on his face.

"Uncle Gui, where is my dad?"

"Miss!" Qiu Gui sighed solemnly, "Mr. Qiao is in the study right now. His blood pressure is unstable and he just took blood pressure medication."

"I understand. I'll go find him."

Qiao Ruyi said this and walked upstairs.

Pushing open the door of the study, Qiao He was sitting on the wide sofa, taking off his glasses and rubbing his aching temples.

"Dad!" Qiao Ruyi hurried over and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is your high blood pressure acting up again?"

Hearing her voice, Qiao He slowly opened his eyes, looked at her with deep eyes for a few seconds, and said nothing.

Qiao Ruyi was slightly startled, "Dad, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ruyi." Qiao He looked at her with a slightly gloomy look. "During the meeting this morning, you kept rejecting Ruyuan's plan. Did you know about it a long time ago?"

Qiao Ruyi's eyes were filled with surprise. "Dad, are you saying that I knew Qiao Ruyuan would plagiarize, and then I allowed her to use the plagiarized design draft to do the project?"

Qiao He didn't say anything, just looked at her with a frown.

"I admit, I rejected her design at the time because I felt something was wrong. I've seen her design skills before, and her previous designs were unsatisfactory. This one, however, was eye-catching, and so good it didn't seem like her own."

Qiao Ruyi said seriously, "I was wondering how someone could change their design style and improve their skills so dramatically in just a few days. So I denied the design just to get to know the reason, but none of you gave me that opportunity, including herself."

"Dad, how could Qiao Ruyuan be so ignorant? She knew her design was plagiarized, a one-to-one replica without any changes. She even copied more than 30 of Erica's designs. How dare she do that? She even had the audacity to invite the executives of both companies to the meeting with the plagiarized design."

Qiao Ruyi sighed deeply. "If she hadn't applied for the meeting so loudly this time, I would have rejected her design and left her no chance to make a mistake."

"Dad, I saw the news. Erica's case is a big deal right now. This scandal has not only happened in our city of Jing and even in China, but also in Country F. How will the Qiao Group gain a foothold in international transactions in the future?"

This is exactly what Qiao He is worried about.

The impact of this incident has spread abroad, and several multinational collaborations have been cancelled.

In just one day, the Qiao Group suffered a heavy blow.

"Ruyi." Qiao He sighed, exhausted, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"There is a way to recover some of the losses. I wonder if Dad is willing."

When Qiao He heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What's the solution? Tell me."

"Fire Joe in public as he wished."

Qiao Ruyi said firmly, "Not only should she be fired, but we should also hold a press conference like Erica did, firing Qiao Ruyuan and making a public promise that she will no longer take over any position at the Qiao Group. Furthermore, we should also make her apologize publicly. The more sincere the better."

Qiao He's face darkened little by little, and before he could make a decision, the study door was pushed open forcefully.

"Qiao Ruyi! You bitch! You actually want Dad to fire me!"

Qiao Ruyuan heard her words outside the door and was so angry that his eyes turned red. "Why did you ask Dad to fire me? Why didn't you let me join the Qiao Group again?"

As she spoke, she rushed over and raised her hand to hit Qiao Ruyi in the face.

Qiao Ruyi quickly grabbed her wrist, his eyes icy, "Qiao Ruyuan, don't you know what you've done? Don't you feel any remorse for what you've done to my father and the Qiao Group?"

Qiao Ruyi stared into Qiao Ruyuan's red eyes, and what she said was spoken to both her and Qiao He.

"Now that the Qiao Group's negative information is flooding in, where can I put my father and the Qiao Group's reputation? Or do you want the Qiao Group to admit to plagiarism along with you and drag the Qiao Group into this?"

The last sentence made Qiao He stiffen.

The Qiao Group cannot collapse because of this. To calm this storm, it can only...

"Ruyi is right." Qiao He looked at Qiao Ruyuan with a heavy expression. "Let's do this. Prepare a press conference and you apologize on the spot."
