She subconsciously took a step back.
Losing her balance, she accidentally stumbled against the door.
With a "bang."
Xia Xueqing instantly moved away from Song Qiao's thigh.
Once so brazen, she was now blushing furiously.
Head bowed, she dared not look at Wu Meng.
"What are you two doing?"
Although Wu Meng had mentally prepared herself to just be friends with Song Qiao,
Seeing this scene, her heart couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy.
"You actually saw that."
Song Qiao gently patted his forehead and quickly helped her up from the ground.
At the same time, he glanced at Wu Meng with a mischievous smile.
Last time, this woman had inexplicably insisted on keeping her distance from him.
Now, she was again...
"Hmph, are you not working during the day?"
Wu Meng immediately understood Song Qiao's meaning and pouted angrily.
She picked up the documents from the floor, handed them to Song Qiao, and stomped out of the office.
Song Qiao chuckled, not wanting to explain further.
Turning, he placed the documents on the desk and casually called Zhang Kai.
This guy, ever since he lost the last spar, had been crying and begging to be Song Qiao's disciple.
Song Qiao couldn't refuse him, so he reluctantly agreed.
Now, it was useful.
"Master, I'm in position. Once the time comes, I can act immediately."
Zhang Kai's voice on the other end was deep.
He was clearly more mature than he had been a while ago.
"Good, continue to stand by. Be careful, don't let them discover you in advance."
Song Qiao glanced at his watch and calmly instructed.
After hanging up, he thought for a moment and dialed Li Bingqing's number.
"Miss Li, good afternoon. Do you know who this is?"
His tone was laced with a lazy drawl.
As soon as Li Bingqing heard his voice, she instantly bristled.
"Song Qiao?"
"What do you want?"
Song Qiao wanted exactly the reaction of Li Bingqing being flustered.
He chuckled lightly.
And sarcastically mocked,
"Miss Li, your methods of poaching are quite ruthless. I didn't expect the prestigious Li family of the capital to resort to such low-class tactics."
Li Bingqing laughed instead of getting angry.
"What?"
"Are you losing your temper, CEO Song?"
"In a battle between us, it's all about tactics. If you can't play, just kneel down and surrender."
"I'll say it again, I can guarantee you a way out."
"Well said."
Song Qiao gently clapped his hands.
"Since we're competing with our own abilities, don't blame me, Song Qiao, for being unfair at the end."
"Tch, do whatever you want. With your petty skills, you'll never be able to influence the grand scheme."
Li Bingqing snorted dismissively, clearly not taking Song Qiao's words as a threat.
Song Qiao smiled and didn't argue further.
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch again.
3:59 PM.
"Miss Li, I have a gift for you."
"In ten seconds, you can expect to receive it."
"Ten"
"Nine"
"Eight"
...
"Song Qiao, what are you up to?"
"Trying to scare me?"
"Let me tell you, in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are useless."
Song Qiao ignored her completely; the countdown continued.
"Two"
"One"
Before Song Qiao could say "zero," a series of loud firecracker sounds erupted.
The next second.
Hundreds of white mice surged into the building from somewhere.
They scurried everywhere.
The white-collar executives, accustomed to comfort, had never witnessed such a scene.
Accompanied by screams.
The entire company was instantly paralyzed.
Song Qiao chuckled, listening to the screams from the phone, and hung up.
At the same time.
Ye Zhiwei, in conjunction with Xu Jinqiu, launched an attack on Li Bingqing's stock market.
First the white mice, then the hackers.
Li Bingqing's company couldn't resist.
In less than five minutes, they lost nearly 2 billion US dollars.
Ye Zhiwei, well-prepared and having the advantage of waiting, acquired and cashed out in a timely manner. Ye's capital doubled in just five minutes.
...
Half an hour later.
"Song Qiao, this was too smooth."
"How did you know Li Bingqing wouldn't resist at that moment?"
"This is incredible. Did all of Li Bingqing's employees defect?"
Ye Zhiwei looked at Song Qiao with stars in her eyes.
She chattered incessantly, asking questions.
Song Qiao didn't want to explain much to Ye Zhiwei.
After all, the methods he used weren't honorable, even more despicable than Li Bingqing's poaching.
But since the other party had broken the rules first, Song Qiao didn't bother with principles anymore.
"It's good that we won."
"Li Bingqing will definitely retaliate. Defending our territory is also very important."
Song Qiao smiled faintly and was about to leave when Li Bingqing's call suddenly came in.
"Song Qiao, you despicable and shameless wretch, I will kill you!"
Li Bingqing had completely lost her mind by now, devoid of any trace of her usual demeanor as a young lady of the Li family.
She looked like a shrew who had been wronged.
"Hey"
"Miss Li, didn't we agree to compete with our own methods?"
"Why are you getting so worked up?"
Song Qiao sneered, his tone full of mockery.
"Song Qiao, you are despicable, shameless, lowly, and a complete scoundrel!"
Li Bingqing could no longer care about these things. In just a few seconds.
She unleashed all the derogatory terms she knew.
"Brother-in-law, please stop talking."
"This woman has gone mad. If you provoke her further, who knows what terrible things she might do."
Xia Xueqing watched Song Qiao deliberately taunting her.
While she felt a sense of satisfaction, she also felt a strange sense of worry.
If she pushed the other party too far, what if it resulted in mutual destruction?
If a prominent family retaliated against Song Qiao at all costs, even the provincial governor couldn't protect him.
"It's alright, Miss Li."
"Don't be angry. I have another gift for you. I hope you like it."
Song Qiao waved his hand gently, signaling Xia Xueqing not to rush to speak.
He unhurriedly relayed the message to Li Bingqing again.
"Again?"
Li Bingqing instantly became vigilant, constantly looking around.
"Boss, someone downstairs said this is a package for you."
Just then, the secretary walked in with a handbag.
"Quick, get some security guards, and bring some gasoline."
Having been bitten once, Li Bingqing was now extremely wary.
She had raised her security to the highest level.
A group of people nervously unzipped the handbag, and they were all stunned.
Inside, densely packed, were the corpses of nearly a hundred white mice.
As soon as it was opened, a foul stench wafted out.
