On the other end of the line.

Chi Jiao’s voice sounded a little dejected as she nodded and said softly, “Alright, then. I believe you. But you have to promise me that you’ll eat and rest on time. Otherwise, I’ll be angry.”

She didn’t want Quan Jue to work too hard.

Chi Jiao’s concern satisfied Quan Jue. He smiled and agreed. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

After their sweet talk, Chi Jiao finally hung up.

In her office in the 117 building.

Chi Jiao looked at her phone gloomily.

Actually, she already knew the entire story when she contacted 007 Laboratory this morning.

007 Laboratory wasn’t short of money at all. Their so-called request for capital was just for show. It was to keep a low profile and avoid attracting too much attention.

But who would have thought that Chi Jiao’s bid to keep a low profile would be mistaken for being an easy target?

Chi Jiao thought of what she had found out. The Quan Corporation snatched Feng Ting Company’s collaborations, cut off their financial resources, and destroyed their capital pool. The flames in her heart were like a prairie fire. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She believed that Quan Jue would definitely have a way. After all, in her previous life, Quan Jue didn’t have the support of the Xuan Sect and still won the position of the head of the Quan family from Quan Jingzhou.

But how could Chi Jiao tolerate her beloved being bullied? No matter what, she had to help Quan Jue vent his anger.

However, Chi Jiao didn’t plan to personally intervene at this stage.

Didn’t Quan Jingzhou implicate her laboratory? She wanted him to see who he had offended.

Chi Jiao smiled and made the call.

Soon, the call went through. Yan Qingqing’s enchanting voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Jiaojiao, why are you calling me at this time? Do you miss me?”

“Not only do I miss you, but I also miss my brothers. I have something I want to ask you guys for help with. Shall I treat you to dinner tonight?” Chi Jiao said with a smile.

“If you want to treat us to dinner, everyone will definitely turn up. Wait for me. I’ll contact Big Brother and the rest. See you tonight.” Yan Qingqing quickly agreed on a time and place.

That night, in the quietest private room in Xian Anju.

A total of five men and two women were at the table. Everyone was present.

The food had already been served. Chi Jiao told all the waiters to leave and raised her wine glass. “We managed to all gather here today! How can we not have a drink to celebrate?”

Everyone smiled and clinked glasses, taking a sip of red wine.

“Jiaojiao, your stomach isn’t good. Don’t drink too much.” Gong Lu adjusted his glasses, his sapphire eyes filled with concern.

“It’s rare for everyone to be together, so Jiaojiao is very happy. Besides, it’s just one glass. It’s alright. As for you, you were still coughing a few days ago, but you are also drinking?” Yan Zhengchen snatched his wine glass before he could react. She then ladled a bowl of warm, clear soup for him. “Drink this.”

“The two of you are still so close. I’m so envious. Shen Liao, why don’t you show some concern for me too?” Gu Xia teased him on purpose. After saying that, he blinked at him expectantly.

Shen Liao rolled his eyes. He raised his hand in disdain and pressed Gu Xia’s face onto the table. “Cut the crap. I’ll hit you if you continue to behave like that.”
