Chapter 147: The cunning Xie Qingcen.

Qi Chong looked at Ruan Liuzheng's promotional poster, and a look of understanding crossed his gentle face.

The difference was obvious. As long as no one did anything shady, Hanfei's promotional poster would probably be the one in his hand.

Even though he wasn't from the publicity department, the sight of this work still made him brighten.

Ruan Liuzheng used a warm background color, and the entire promotional poster was based on the appearance of Hanfei's new product.

While being easy to accept, it didn't look tacky, but rather had a unique feeling.

Even Qi Chong, an insider in the company, saw it and couldn't help but want to buy one of the products.

It was extremely appealing.

In today's complex world, simple things are often the most touching.

Ruan Liuzheng had a very clear understanding of this.

Qi Chong frowned slightly, thinking of Xie Qingcen's instructions, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting.

It was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

He nodded slightly to Xie Qingcen and Ruan Liuzheng in the lounge, then walked out of the lounge with two different plans.

...

Half an hour later, Qi Chong knocked on the door of the lounge with the results. He still had the two plans in his hands, but the results of the vote were displayed on them.

Looking at the smile on the corner of his lips, Ruan Liuzheng had a rough guess in her heart. She gently raised her eyes and her gaze fell on Xie Qingcen opposite.

The corners of her light pink lips curled up in an imperceptible arc.

No wonder he had such a leisurely expression since Qi Chong left, it turned out that he had prepared it in advance.

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and a gleam flashed across his cold eyes.

According to the temperament of Fu Yanci and Bai Huanqing, they will definitely tamper with the vote this time and will not give her a chance to win.

Furthermore, those voting outside were prominent figures in Yuncheng's upper crust. Even though Xie Qingcen had just acknowledged her identity, she still hadn't earned the Xie family's approval. With just Xie Qingcen's verbal acknowledgment, who would choose to offend the Fu and Bai families to help someone with an uncertain future?

Add to that Fu Yanci's inducements, and her chances of winning were even slimmer.

She had clearly seen Fu Yanci leave the lounge just minutes after Qi Chong left.

As for what he was doing, only Fu Yanci and Bai Huanqing knew.

...

Qi Chong approached slowly and placed the two finalized plans on the coffee table. Between the two documents lay dozens of design proposals.

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes froze. She turned her head, a hint of surprise etched across her delicate features.

But a faint smile played at the corner of her lips.

So cunning! It turned out that Xie Qingcen had been prepared for this. No wonder he was so confident and agreed so easily when he heard Bai Huanqing's request.

Sure enough, no matter how smart a person is, he is not as smart as a businessman.

Xie Qingcen sensed Ruan Liuzheng's eyes, he gently raised his eyes and smiled barely audibly.

A hint of tenderness appeared in his dark eyes.

He raised his eyebrows and asked silently, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Liuzheng curled her lips, she lowered her eyes, and looked away silently. He dared to ask her how she was, what a guy who is used to calculating people's hearts.

She exhaled slightly, sat up straight, and looked at Qi Chong quietly with cold eyes, waiting for Qi Chong to announce the answer.

Qi Chong smiled faintly. "The results are in. The vote shows that Miss Ruan's design is more popular."

"How is that possible!"

Bai Huanqing stood up in disbelief, her clear eyes fixed on the designs on the coffee table, shock in her eyes. "Did you do something? Ruan Liuzheng, who hasn't touched a paintbrush in five years, how could her design be so popular?"

She ignored the scowls of Xie Qingcen and Qi Chong and simply questioned the unfairness of the results.

Her voice was sharp and rude, completely disrespectful.

This not only angered Xie Qingcen and Qi Chong, but also Fu Yanci.

Fu Yanci glanced at Xie Qingcen's icy expression, and his lips unconsciously curled into a straight line.

Bai Huanqing's blatant questioning of the results was more than just a slap in the face of Hanfei Group. If they were to investigate, wouldn't their shady activities be exposed?

This was clearly a dead end.

But...

Fu Yanci narrowed his eyes. He looked at the two proposals on the coffee table. When his sight touched the number of voters, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Although all the people attending the banquet today were well-known figures, they would still give this face for just a vote.

Besides, there was the Bai family.

The two wealthy families in Yuncheng would never let Ruan Liuzheng get this bidding.

But Ruan Liuzheng really won.

Then it must be Hanfei Group that made those people afraid to show favoritism or do anything tricky.

Fu Yanci narrowed his eyes dangerously. He reached out and grabbed the emotional Bai Huanqing, his dark eyes slightly sharp. "Uncle, by doing this, aren't you afraid of ruining Hanfei Group's reputation in the entire Yuncheng business community?"

Xie Qingcen smiled lightly. He spoke slowly, and his handsome face did not have a trace of embarrassment or guilt.

"This vote was chosen based on the wishes of those outsiders, and I just sent people to get these design plans from the companies that wanted to bid."

"Knowing the results in advance will save them from worrying. I clearly meant well, so why would I damage Hanfei Group's reputation?"

Xie Qingcen's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flickering between his elegant brows.

His expression was serious, his voice unusually solemn. "Hanfei Group's current status is the result of the hard work of generations of the Xie family. If I alone could easily undermine it, then I think the Xie family would no longer have a foothold in Yuncheng."

Fu Yanci's remaining questions and threats suddenly died in his throat.

He took a deep breath, looking at Xie Qingcen's confident and confident expression, and a wave of jealousy rose uncontrollably in his heart.

His gaze fell on Ruan Liuzheng, who stood beside Xie Qingcen, and this jealousy reached its peak.

Ruan Liuzheng was clearly his woman, bearing him children and working hard for him for so many years. How could she become Xie Qingcen's wife in just a few days?

Knowing Ruan Liuzheng well, she would never change her mind so easily in such a short period of time. Xie Qingcen must have done something.

Xie Qingcen must have seduced Ruan Liuzheng!

Fu Yanci's palms tightened fiercely. He stared at Xie Qingcen intently, his dark eyes churning with ink. "What about Ruan Liuzheng? Uncle, I don't believe you don't know about my relationship with her. Why did you do this?"

...
