A Gentle Man

Yun Xi guessed what Huo Tingxiao wanted to say and bit her lips, feeling awkward.

"You asked Gu Baifan to lead the mayor's project and dole part of it out to the Qiao Corporation to cover up my interest in having them acquire part of it. He actually agreed with this ludicrous suggestion. Do I look so useless that I can't even keep things confidential?"

"Er...it wasn't really that... I just feel that perhaps the Qiao family side branch is not strong enough to go against the main branch of the family. If they expose themselves too soon, they will be attacked relentlessly. The Qiao family main branch will suppress the branch, and it will definitely affect your entire plan."
