The world fell silent, yet Ye Yuning’s mind remained in turmoil. She quickly tried to sort out the key points of the situation. The Qin Family’s Eldest Son was no fool! Furthermore, he had now taken over the entire Qin Family. Having taken over the Qin Family, had he acquired the Xifeng project they were currently collaborating on? And then had the project demolished? Otherwise, why would he make her redo the entire Xifeng project? After a long pause, Ye Yuning finally pieced together the critical details and called Chen Wei. The call was answered almost immediately. "Boss!" The last syllable was drawn out, her tone filled with a timid sense of grievance. Ye Yuning took a deep breath. "Did Qin Jinchuan scrap the entire Xifeng project?" "They’re already arranging for its demolition." Ye Yuning was speechless. Arranging for demolition... This Qin Jinchuan...! Wasn’t he being far too domineering? She had personally designed that project, so she knew its costs all too well. She doubted Qin Jinchuan was doing this purely for revenge. Having reached this conclusion, Ye Yuning felt slightly better. "What about redoing it? Have they discussed any details? For instance, the design fee." After all, it was a project nearing completion. They couldn’t just bluntly tell her to redo it without discussing any terms, and expect her to just bluntly ’redo’ it, could they?! For example, did they offer any explanation? At the mention of an "explanation," Chen Wei fell silent. Seeing Chen Wei’s silence, Ye Yuning asked, "What’s wrong?" Chen Wei replied, "The manager liaising for them said the new president thinks our design is utter trash!" A raw nerve was touched. ’Utter trash!’ Just moments ago, she’d thought Qin Jinchuan wouldn’t retaliate against her . But now, hearing this statement! Was this not Qin Jinchuan’s revenge against her?! But if he used such methods to retaliate against her, wasn’t it a classic case of inflicting a thousand wounds on the enemy while suffering a thousand yourself? Ye Yuning found it hard to breathe. The issues with the Xiao Family weren’t even resolved yet, and now the Qin Family was getting involved—weren’t the heavens truly set on her destruction? On the other end of the line, Chen Wei clearly sensed Ye Yuning’s breathing grow heavy. She quickly said, "Boss, don’t listen to their nonsense. This is definitely the Qin Family retaliating against you." Designs by Manlang and Ye Yuning weren’t just popular in Upper City; they were well-received nationwide. How could their designs be the ’trash’ the Qin Family’s Eldest Son claimed? This was clearly retaliation. Chen Wei grew even more worried about Ye Yuning. "Boss, are you alright?" Ye Yuning forced out, "I’m... fine!" Though she said she was fine, the words sounded as if they were uttered through gritted teeth. Chen Wei was also worried about Ye Yuning; after all, the Xiao Family was constantly causing trouble for her. Now, with the Qin Family in the mix, she truly feared Ye Yuning might do something impulsive. For instance, like that time she secretly thrashed the Third Young Master of the Xiao family, was she now planning to covertly attack the Qin Family’s Eldest Son? "Help me find out where the Qin Family’s Eldest Son is tonight!" Ye Yuning said fiercely to Chen Wei. Chen Wei’s eyelids twitched. Indeed, her guess had been right. If it were that bastard Xiao Shuo, Chen Wei wouldn’t have cared, but now... "Boss, you can’t attack the Qin Family’s Eldest Son." "Why not? Is he so precious?" Ye Yuning roared.

"It’s not that he’s precious; it’s that he could crush you as easily as an ant." After all, the Qin Family’s Eldest Son now controlled the entire Qin Family; he wasn’t the fool everyone thought him to be. The fact that he could lie low for so long and seize control of the Qin Family in one fell swoop demonstrated just how ruthless his methods were. Ye Yuning’s breathing grew even heavier. Just what kind of mess was this...?! Amidst Ye Yuning’s confusion and rage, Chen Wei continued, "Also, you mustn’t continue to offend the Xiao Family right now." Just as Ye Yuning’s fury towards the Qin Family was still burning, Chen Wei brought up the Xiao Family. It was like two fires igniting at once, threatening to completely incinerate Ye Yuning’s rationality. Previously, Chen Wei wouldn’t have cared. They were just a business partner, and Ye Yuning could afford to be somewhat capricious. But this Seventh Master Xiao of the Xiao Family didn’t seem like a straightforward businessman. Offend him... and he would retaliate! "No, you... Chen Wei, you..." Ye Yuning was so angry she was almost incoherent. Suppressing the rage in her chest, she demanded, "Are you telling me I should just swallow this insult from the Qin Family? And that I have to put up with whatever the Xiao Family does too?" Chen Wei pleaded, "If you can endure it, please do. We all depend on you to put food on the table, Boss!" Clearly, Chen Wei had realized that no matter how capable they were, they were merely designers. They couldn’t afford to provoke ruthless and unreasonable entities like the Xiao Family and the Qin Family. Their studio simply couldn’t afford to confront such people head-on. Right now, Chen Wei was genuinely worried Ye Yuning would lose her temper and go pick a fight with the Qin Family’s Eldest Son. If that happened, their studio would be caught between the Xiao Family and the Qin Family, squeezed from both sides! Ye Yuning was fuming. Chen Wei tried to placate her, "Why don’t we wait until tomorrow and see what the Qin Corporation really intends? What if the Qin Family’s Eldest Son is just acting in a fit of anger?" Perhaps once he cooled off, he would stop making things difficult for their boss. Ye Yuning retorted sourly, "Do you actually believe that yourself?" Chen Wei fell silent. No, she didn’t believe it. After all, the completed portions of the Xifeng project were already scheduled for demolition. This Eldest Son of the Qin Family was too ruthless! To take revenge on the boss, did he really have to go to such lengths? Besides, the earlier incident wasn’t even the boss’s fault, was it? Ye Yuning angrily hung up the phone and kicked a mineral water bottle at her feet, sending it flying. With a loud BANG! it slammed directly into the door of a Maybach that had just parked nearby. The owner of the car stepped out. It was Qin Jinchuan!
