"Xiao Zhou, you have a unique eye for selecting talents." Du Bowen joked, his eyes revealing complex emotions.

He knew the special relationship between Qiao Xuying and Zhou Qi, and also saw that his daughter got along well with Qiao Xuying.

This situation made him feel both relieved and a little disappointed.

Zhou Qi smiled and changed the subject, asking, "Brother Du, how is the shipyard going? Are there any problems?"

"Everything went well."

Du Bowen replied: "The hardware facilities of the shipyard are very good. We have also made some personnel adjustments. Overall, the progress is very good."

"I should leave now."

"After completing the business connection with the shipping company, we can officially cooperate."

"Xiao Zhou, I really want to thank you. You have helped me a lot."

Zhou Qi responded with a smile: “Brother Du, don’t be so polite.

I will give you advance notice of the matter in Hong Kong. Once your situation stabilizes, I will also try my best to help you make connections if necessary."

Du Bowen laughed and said, "Then I won't be so formal with you. I have kept the good wine I mentioned before for you. When you are free, let's have a good drink together."

Du Qianqian glanced at the busy Qiao Xueying and said to Zhou Qi:

"I see you have no sympathy for others. Xueying has been very busy recently and has lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw her. Now that the problems on the project have been solved, you should let her rest for a while."

"How about this, you take Xueying to Guang Province for two days."

Du Qianqian suggested: "Just think of it as a short vacation for everyone. Or we can choose to travel somewhere else to relax?"

At this time, Zhou Qi's cell phone rang.

The caller was Shi Feijie, who said hurriedly: "Boss Zhou, something big has happened!

Someone maliciously slandered our Reno company in the newspaper and made up many false stories. In addition, our partners such as Hualong, Huayi, Liangpin, and Inspur were also implicated.

If things continue to deteriorate, everyone will suffer.”

Zhou Qi frowned and listened carefully to Shi Feijie's description.

It was a media storm, full of false accusations and exaggerated rhetoric, that portrayed Reno as a place full of shady deals and suggested that capital manipulation was behind the talent show.

Although no one is named directly, anyone with a discerning eye knows who these reports are targeting.

Once a company's reputation is damaged, it may never recover.

Zhou ** Bai's move was both insidious and effective.

"What's the news from Yao Yuanfeng?" he asked.

Shi Feijie replied: “Mr. Zhou, I tried to contact Mr. Yao, but the call was not connected.

We learned through CCTV's co-producer that Yao Tai was taken away this morning and has not returned yet. It is not clear who took him away, but it is obvious that he is someone powerful.

In addition, the newspaper that published this report is called "Beijing Entertainment News", and it is said that the Feng family is behind it. This incident is likely their handiwork."

"Although this kind of reporting is on the edge of the truth, if it leads to obstruction of our cooperation with CCTV, it will become very fatal," Shi Feijie added.

Zhou Qi realized that once it was in the news, there would be no such thing as marginal news, and immediate action must be taken to protect Reno's brand image and partnerships.

The rules in the mainland and Hong Kong are different. The mainland has strict management and there are not so many entertainment gossip magazines.

Even if there is controversial content, there will be accountability, it’s just that the duration of that accountability may vary.

If cooperation with CCTV is suspended because of this incident, even if it is not true, it will be regarded as a fact and accountability will become unclear.

The other party obviously seized on this and put pressure on the relevant personnel. Yao Yuanfeng was called away probably for this purpose.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Qi simply said: "I'll be there later."

He didn't want to say more, because the situation in Beijing was unclear and there was no point in saying more. Besides, he didn't want to make Du Qianqian worry.

"What's wrong?" Du Qianqian asked after seeing Zhou Qi hang up the phone.

"There's a small problem. I have to go to Beijing City."

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "I can't play with you guys anymore, but I can let Xueying rest for a few more days, and you can go out for a walk."

Du Qianqian thought to herself, what's the point of traveling without you? But she still said, "I want to go to Beijing with you."

Zhou Qi chuckled and replied, "Next time."

He didn't explain any further and called Qiao Xuying over to briefly explain the situation.

Afterwards, Qiao Xuying seemed absent-minded. Fortunately, the ceremony was almost over.

Two hours later, Zhou Qi, Du Bowen and others went to the airport.

Along the way, Du Qianqian and Qiao Xuying remained silent, with their lips slightly pouted, full of dissatisfaction.

The sudden separation caught them off guard, not to mention that Zhou Qi didn't explain anything clearly, which made them feel that he was hiding something from them.

Zhou Qi was actually helpless. He knew they were worried, but telling them the truth would only make them more anxious. It was not too late to tell them after the matter was resolved.

Finally, under the reluctant and somewhat angry gazes of the two, Zhou Qi walked into the boarding gate.

As soon as Zhou Qi left, Qiao Xueying immediately turned to Du Qianqian, her face full of confusion: "What on earth happened?"

She was busy with her own things before and didn't notice anything strange about Zhou Qi when he was with everyone.

Suddenly, Zhou Qi left, which made her feel that everyone was hiding something from her.

"I asked him too, but he didn't want to say." Du Qianqian answered helplessly.

"I always feel something is wrong. I want to go to the capital to take a look." Qiao Xuying frowned, feeling uneasy.

Du Qianqian's eyes flashed with determination: "I'll go too, let's follow quietly together."

"Then let's book the tickets now." Qiao Xuying said decisively.

At this time, Du Bowen interrupted. He looked at the two girls and said firmly but worriedly:

"I am worried, but I choose to trust him. If he needs help, he will tell us. If you act rashly like this, you may not be able to help him, but may cause more trouble."

After hearing this, Du Qianqian and Qiao Xuying finally gave up the idea of ​​leaving immediately.

On the other side, Zhou Qi had just boarded the plane to Beijing when his phone rang.

It was Li Jianan who called, with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Feng Zhengde wants to meet you. He is the father of that arrogant boy Feng Zibin."

Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that the other party's movements were really fast.

Since the other party came to me on his own initiative, let's just meet him.

"Okay, where is the location?" Zhou Qi replied.

Li Jianan was a little surprised: "You really agreed? How about I go with you to support the occasion?"

Before Zhou Qi could refuse, Li Jianan said self-deprecatingly: "Forget it, I dare not trouble you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qi prepared to turn off his phone because the plane was about to take off.

Just as he turned off his phone, a missed call popped up - but it was too late.
