Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: On Wealthy and Overbearing Professor Qiao Has Never Lost
 

Qiao Yun blinked, uncommonly bewildered for a moment.

Before she returned to the Lu Family, she had already received information about them.

The data didn’t indicate that Lu Zhanxing had a girlfriend.

“Are you scared?”

Pei Ya laughed with tears twinkling in his eyes, finding it rare to see Professor Qiao bewildered, he felt an inexplicable sense of achievement.

It was just a pity he couldn’t see Professor Qiao’s dumbfounded expression.

Qiao Yun asked faintly, “Are your hands itching?”

Pei Ya: “…”

“I was wrong.”

He apologised quickly, yet in a tone full of grievance, “I didn’t lie, she really is a girlfriend, but only in the play.”

He didn’t rush to explain but posed another question to Qiao Yun, “Do you know Xinghe Group?”

Qiao Yun replied instantly, “Never heard of it.”

“We’ve had a collaboration with them recently.”

“I don’t know about it.”

“I knew it. Apart from Shengqiao, there’s no other group that could catch your attention. If Shengqiao weren’t your own asset, you probably wouldn’t care either.”

Pei Ya continued with a look that said he saw right through her, “The chairman’s darling daughter of Xinghe Group recently invested in a drama. Lu Zhanxing was appointed the male lead, and the princess herself took the female lead. In the drama, their characters are in a romantic relationship. It seems Lu Zhanxing’s acting was too convincing, and the princess got too immersed, falling head over heels for him.”

“Knocking on his door at midnight to discuss the script, sending meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, blocking his doorway, she even claimed to be his girlfriend.”

“Your second brother is quite tough too, he couldn’t avoid her and decided to break the contract and quit acting. Since the princess is rather extreme, upon seeing Lu Zhanxing’s resistance, she started attacking from a resource perspective.”

“That’s harassment.”

Qiao Yun frowned slightly, disapproving of such behavior.

“And this harassment of hers must be costly.”

Pei Ya said, “In order to please his daughter, the chairman of Xinghe Group took a stake in Xingcan Entertainment. The princess is now a shareholder and can do whatever she wants.”

“From what I’ve gathered, the princess has interfered with Lu Zhanxing’s resources more than once. The person is quite crazy.”

She put in quite an effort to make Lu Zhanxing submit to her will.

“Is this what she calls love?” Qiao Yun asked, genuinely puzzled.

Pei Ya scoffed, “This isn’t love, it’s just being spoiled. Coming across a tough nut, she won’t be satisfied until she cracks it.”

Pei Ya refrained from telling Qiao Yun that this wasn’t the first time the princess had used resources to coerce others. Such dirty tactics weren’t necessary for Professor Qiao to know.

Seeing that Qiao Yun didn’t respond, he said, “This matter can be easily solved. We just need to sign Lu Zhanxing under Shenghuan. It wouldn’t be a loss for us.”

However, Qiao Yun said, “No need.”

“Huh?”

This time Pei Ya was puzzled, “I thought you investigated all this because you wanted to intervene.”

“I just wanted to know, not to intervene. This is his business,” Qiao Yun stood by her principles.

She could help Lu Zhanxing with some resources when convenient, but when it came to his career, it was up to Lu Zhanxing to face it on his own.

Constantly helping him wouldn’t be doing him any favours; it would hinder him.

Moreover, she believed Lu Zhanxing could solve it on his own, it would just take time.

Pei Ya shrugged, “Alright then, by the way, do you want me to pick you up for the charity gala tomorrow?”

“No need.”

Qiao Yun declined and before hanging up, she said indifferently, “The collaboration with Xinghe Group can be terminated.”

Pei Ya: “Huh?”

“Bad character, no need to collaborate,” Qiao Yun stated assertively.

Pei Ya: “…”

Only Professor Qiao could make the misuse of power sound so leisurely and refined.

What was this?

Some buy companies for their daughters, others terminate collaborations for their brothers.

When it comes to financial clout, Professor Qiao has never been outdone.
