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

After Gu Zhaoting left, an awkward atmosphere filled the private room.

Cheng Yin, however, naturally sat down again and picked up his wine glass once more.

Seeing that the others were still standing still, he said curiously, "Why are you all standing? Sit down."

They exchanged glances and gradually sat down.

Qin Feng couldn't help but ask, "Cheng Yin, how did things get to this point between you and Zhao Ting?"

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

Even if they disliked each other before, they wouldn't suddenly become so irreconcilable.

Recalling what Gu Zhaoting's secretary said on the phone earlier, the Gu family is probably in big trouble.

Why would Cheng Yin use such a deadly method? Could it be that something happened between him and Gu Zhaoting?

The thought that all of Gu Zhaoting's troubles lately were orchestrated by Cheng Yin behind the scenes sent a chill down Qin Feng's spine.

Cheng Yin glanced at him and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's none of your business what I do with him."

Since he had said that, the others naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions. Gradually, everyone started talking again, and the private room became lively again. However, this liveliness was mixed with something else, making it seem somewhat superficial.

Cheng Yin leaned back on the sofa, leisurely swirling the red wine in his glass.

Qi Ning naturally listened to the system recount the conflict between Gu Zhaoting and Cheng Yin.

"Host, Gu Zhaoting and Cheng Yin are about to fight. Aren't you worried that Cheng Yin will suffer?" the system asked.

After all, in the original storyline, Gu Zhaoting is the male lead, and Cheng Yin is his rival in his career, or you could say the villain. In their business battle, Gu Zhaoting, the male lead, is naturally the victor.

"No, it won't happen." Qi Ning's tone was exceptionally firm.

Firstly, of the two cards Cheng Yin is playing now, the one about the construction site murder case is the trump card Cheng Yin held in the original storyline, which he revealed ahead of time; the one about the shoddy construction and poor quality of the building was revealed to Cheng Yin by Qi Ning.

If it were just the first one, it probably wouldn't be enough, but the one Qi Ning revealed had far-reaching implications and could even hold Gu Zhaoting's life in its hands.

Secondly, from the current perspective, Cheng Yin is the one taking the initiative and was prepared in advance; Gu Zhaoting is the one on the defensive, and was caught off guard and attacked without any prior precautions.

The little bit of leverage Gu Zhaoting had over Cheng Yin was just a minor problem for the Cheng Group, which was nothing compared to the troubles the Gu Group was currently facing.

Thirdly, because of Gu Zhaoting's personal affairs, the entire Gu Group is now in the eye of the storm and has received huge attention online. He simply cannot suppress the matter. Under the scrutiny of public opinion, the Gu Group is very likely to face a major investigation.

Gu Zhaoting was too busy taking care of himself to have much energy to fight back.

In short, it's all about the right timing, location, and people. Qi Ning and Cheng Yin are definitely on the advantageous side, so she certainly doesn't need to worry about Cheng Yin.

Gu Zhaoting returned to the Gu Group that day and faced investigations from two departments. Gu's father also received the news and rushed to the group.

The relevant departments received an anonymous tip and have evidence and materials provided by the whistleblower. The investigation of the Gu Group was just a formality and some other evidence collection.

Just as Qi Ning had predicted, Gu Zhaoting was preoccupied with his own problems.

But he was a vengeful person after all, so how could he allow himself to be framed by Cheng Yin without retaliating at all?

Even if he didn't have time, he still made time to have someone release some dirt on the Cheng Group.

However, nowadays the internet is flooded with news about the Gu Group, and news about the Cheng Group goes unnoticed and quickly disappears without a trace.

When Gu's father found out about Gu Zhaoting's underhanded actions, he gave him another severe scolding.

"Gu Zhaoting, can't you tell what's important and what's urgent? What's the use of dealing with Cheng Yin now? The most important thing right now is to protect yourself and the Gu family. You can take your revenge after we've resolved our troubles!"

Gu Zhaoting stood in front of his father with his head down, saying nothing.

Gu's father looked at him with disappointment: "How many times have I told you? In the business world, you have to be more tactful and leave some room for maneuver. But you've ignored my words. Why do you have to be at odds with Cheng Yin?"

"Now look what's happened. Cheng Yin seized the opportunity to use this as leverage against us. In the end, it's all because you were too sharp and didn't know how to restrain yourself!"

As for the Cheng family, Cheng's parents naturally received the news and called Cheng Yin back.

When Cheng Yin got home, he saw his parents sitting in the living room waiting for him.

"Mom and Dad, is there something you need to tell me to come back?"

Cheng Yin sat down by himself.

Before he could even sit down properly, his mother asked him, "Cheng Yin, didn't I tell you not to get involved in the Gu family's affairs? You promised me you wouldn't worry, so why are you like this now..."

She had just attended Gu's mother's birthday banquet with Cheng Yin not long ago, and now the two groups are fighting.

The reason Cheng's mother asked this question was mainly because she was worried about Cheng Yin.

Cheng Yin took the tea brought by the maid, took a sip, and then said unhurriedly, "Mom, I promised not to interfere in the Gu family's affairs, I didn't say anything else. We are in normal business competition now, so you don't need to worry."

He spoke with such confidence that he left Cheng's mother speechless.

Cheng Yin then asked his father, who was standing to the side, "Dad, what do you think? Did I do something wrong?"

Mr. Cheng was much calmer than Mrs. Cheng.

In fact, most of the affairs of the Cheng Group have now been handed over to Cheng Yin, and Cheng's father is in a semi-retired state.

However, Cheng's father supported Cheng Yin's actions.

The Cheng Group and the Gu Group are business rivals, and they were bound to fight sooner or later. Now, Cheng Yin has seized a good opportunity and become the one in a favorable position, which is what Cheng's father is happy to see.

He only asked Cheng Yin, "Are you sure you can do these things? Don't end up losing more than you gain and getting yourself involved."

Cheng Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is under control."

Indeed, as Cheng Yin said, everything was proceeding according to his and Qi Ning's plan.

Since the Gu Group was investigated, in addition to the investigation materials, some relevant responsible persons have also been taken back for questioning.

Following the investigation and interrogation, more major problems were exposed one after another within the Gu Group, triggering a major crackdown on the Gu Group.

This major investigation uncovered even more problems hidden in the shadows.

In just about a month, the once glorious Gu Group, which was known as the industry leader, collapsed in an instant, like a building hollowed out by ants.

This sudden turn of events caught Gu Zhaoting off guard, as if a nightmare had descended upon every member of the Gu family, leaving Gu Zhaoting utterly helpless.
