Chapter 127: Mi Chen is Almost Bankrupted by Yuan Xi
Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Mi Chen is Almost Bankrupted by Yuan Xi
Yuan Xi glanced at the trending topics and saw that Mi Chen’s layoff of Wu Liang and Yan Lingling from “Fall in Love with the Stars” was brewing controversy.
“Fall in Love with the Stars”‘s old players feared future impacts on the game, and with recent incidents about employee layoffs being prevalent, laying off original employees sparked a wave of sympathy for Wu Liang and Yan Lingling, leading many to angrily denounce Yuan Xi’s decision-making errors.
Mrs. Qin is me, “Yuan Xi must be seriously ill, ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’ was practically created by Yan Lingling’s own hands, yet she actually sacked a veteran. How are we supposed to play the game in the future? I heard ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’ lost half its staff.”
Did Mi Chen go bankrupt today, “Bankrupt! They are!”
Gu Hanchen is really lame, “Yuan Xi has a brain defect, right after going public she lays off Mi Chen’s main contributors. In ancient times, Wu Liang and Yan Lingling would have been founding heroes, not dukes then marquise. Yet she went ahead and fired them.”
Did Mi Chen go bankrupt today, “It’s a pity the stock market doesn’t trade on weekends; otherwise, we could witness Mi Chen’s stock price plummet. Hahaha!”
...
“Fall in Love with the Stars” A Station, “Fellow Xingxing, let’s pull out and wait for the new game from Wu Liang and Yan Lingling. Stop playing Mi Chen’s games, and remember to get an invoice from Mi Chen when you leave!”
Yuan Xi clicked into Yan Lingling’s Weibo, where Yan Lingling posted a video tearfully narrating how she fought step by step for Mi Chen, only to be ruthlessly laid off just as the company went public.
The comments below broke twenty thousand, all cursing Yuan Xi.
“How did Yuan Xi get her Chairman role? Those in the know, know all about it!”
“Is Yuan Xi just climbing up with the help of men? Does she know how to manage a company?”
“Isn’t Gu Hanchen coming out to manage this?”
“How can Gu Hanchen manage when he’s hospitalized from a car accident? And now Gu Hanchen has to listen to Yuan Xi anyway.”

Yuan Xi handed this public opinion crisis over to the PR department’s Fang Qin to handle, and then she herself turned off her phone and let the makeup artist do her makeup.
“Xiao Xi, you look stunning with heavy makeup.”
Shi Zhen walked up behind Yuan Xi and, seeing her reflection in the mirror, complimented her, “Your usual makeup is too plain. You should wear makeup like this more often; it suits you.”
Huo Shiyuan, “Actually, Yuan Xi looks best without makeup.”
Shi Zhen, “What kind of taste is that?”
Yuan Xi chuckled at Shi Zhen, “Ms. Shi, I think the heavy makeup looks good too, but it’s not quite appropriate for regular work occasions.”
Yuan Xi was quite pleased with her makeup and styling today: not plain, yet not too exquisitely attention-grabbing either.
Today, Yuan Xi wore a light blue sleeveless cocktail dress and put on the Charlotte Blue Diamond Ring that Huo Shiyuan had given her.
Huo Shiyuan wore a custom-tailored suit, with a tie that matched Yuan Xi’s dress color.
“Let’s go. Yixian is sick, so if we get there a bit earlier, we can help welcome the guests.”
Yuan Xi smiled lightly as she left for Fu Mansion with Huo Shiyuan next door.
As the sky darkened, more and more guests filled Fu Mansion.
Yuan Xi followed next to Huo Shiyuan, greeting each of the guests who came up to chat.
The banquets in A City were hardly different from the socialities in Jiang City, and with Huo Shiyuan around, Yuan Xi didn’t really need to greet many people—just maintaining a polite, distant smile and occasionally chiming in with a few words was sufficient.
The wedding was being held in Fu Mansion because the groom could only lie in bed, but fortunately, the Fu Mansion was large enough to host a wedding banquet.
“Chairman Fu has arrived!”
“The girl with Chairman Fu, isn’t she his daughter, the newly found Fu family heiress? She’s so beautiful!”
“It’s said that her adoptive parents are Jiangcheng’s richest man, what a blessed life she has.”
Yuan Xi followed the guests’ voices and looked towards the entrance, where an entry by Fu Yadong followed by Chu Yan was met with her showing blatant pride amidst everyone’s gaze.
Today, she was dressed in a pink high-end couture dress, and the implication of stealing the spotlight was very clear.
Chu Yan approached Yuan Xi, “How does it feel to be maligned online, Yuan Xi? Come Monday, when the stock market opens, just wait and watch Mi Chen’s stock drop dramatically!”
Yuan Xi was not scared in the slightest, but she now understood why public opinion had fermented so rapidly.
Chu Yan was really not keeping quiet at all.
After Chu Yan’s remarks, the murmurs about Yuan Xi among the guests grew louder.
On a trip to the restroom, Yuan Xi overheard the discussions outside while she was touching up her makeup.
“I heard that Huo Shiyuan’s new wife is the Daughter of the Richest Man in Jiang City.”
“She’s just the recently found Daughter of the Richest Man in Jiang City who actually grew up in the countryside. She even worked as President Mi Chen’s secretary for five years, only gaining the position of chairman through Huo Shiyuan, and now she’s about to bankrupt Mi Chen as soon as she got the position.”
“What does Huo Shiyuan see in her? The Huo family has always said Huo Shiyuan fancied his childhood sweetheart, so why did he marry a woman like this who’s ruining the family?”
Qian Yiren frowned at the discussion of several Jiang City heiresses and said, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Chu Yan chuckled, “Miss Yiren, we’re not talking nonsense, just wait for the stock market on Monday; we’ll see how Mi Chen’s plunging stock price drives Yuan Xi to suicide!”
Yuan Xi dried the water droplets from her hands and approached Chu Yan, saying, “You’ve tasted the feeling of all your efforts being in vain several times before, why can’t you learn from it?”
Chu Yan snorted coldly, “Yuan Xi, you’ll soon know the taste of falling from a great height. Even if your husband is Huo Shiyuan, so what? He married you just to legitimize the child, but once his childhood sweetheart shows up, you’ll just be left crying.”
Yuan Xi replied indifferently, “I am his childhood sweetheart.”
Chu Yan let out a cold laugh, “Hahaha, you’re really funny, Yuan Xi. I never saw Huo Shiyuan as a child, and you, a girl from some village, were childhood sweethearts with Huo Shiyuan, hahaha…”
Yuan Xi no longer paid attention to Chu Yan and went to Huo Shiyuan’s side.
As the music in the hall began to play softly, Ren Tian walked to the front holding flowers, next to her lay Fu Yixian on a hospital bed covered with medical devices.
This kind of wedding was something everyone was seeing for the first time.
The master of ceremonies began to speak, “Today’s wedding is very special, and the bride’s devotion is profoundly touching… Bride, do you take the groom, Fu Yixian, to be your husband, to love him forever, never leaving nor forsaking him?”
Ren Tian took Fu Yixian’s hand from the hospital bed and was just about to speak when the voice of a loud middle-aged man came from outside the door.
“It’s my daughter’s wedding, why can’t I go in!”
When Chu Yan saw who was entering the door, she looked towards Ren Tian—it was Yu Fu, Ren Tian’s stepfather, the very same man Yuan Xi had found last time to impersonate her biological father?
Ren Tian was startled to see Yu Fu at the door.
Chu Yan walked up to the stage and, amid murderous glares from Qian Qingqing and Fu Qin, took the microphone from the master of ceremonies.
Chu Yan: “Today, I would like to congratulate my sister-in-law and my brother on their marriage. Additionally, I have a wedding gift for my sister-in-law, as how could we have a wedding without the presence of her father? So I had someone bring over my sister-in-law’s stepfather.”
Ren Tian gripped Fu Yixian’s hand tightly, causing him to show an expression of pain on the bed, yet Ren Tian’s grip only tightened.
The reason she stopped attending middle school and came to Jiang City to work was not only because her family refused to let her study, but also to escape from Yu Fu’s increasingly disgusting gaze…
Ren Tian looked at Fu Yi; he was the only one who knew where her hometown was. Had Fu Yi actually told Chu Yan—to humiliate her?
Fu Yi looked at Chu Yan and asked, “Yanyan, what’s going on?”
Chu Yan replied, “How could my sister-in-law get married without any family from her mother’s side?”
That Ren Tian, who disgusted her by fighting over her boyfriend, she wasn’t about to let her become Fu Yixian’s wife or bear Fu Yixian’s children and compete with her for the Fu An Group.
With such a disgusting stepfather like Ren Tian’s, how would Qian Qingqing accept him as an in-law?
Qian Qingqing frowned at the sight of Yu Fu at the door, dressed in dirty, outdated clothes and looking like he hadn’t washed his hair in days; he was undoubtedly reeking.
Yu Fu’s eyes brightened when he saw Chu Yan on the stage.
Yu Fu rushed forward, grabbed Chu Yan’s hand, and exclaimed, “My precious daughter, I’ve finally found you. Come home with me and get married quickly!”
Chu Yan, seeing Yu Fu lunging at her and grabbing her hand, screamed in terror.
“Ah! What are you doing, let go of me!”
