Becoming His Pillar of Support

"Cheng Huai is planning to switch careers?" Qi Chao's reaction mirrored Chi Yu's exactly. 

On her second visit to Qi Chao's office, Chi Yu appeared more at ease. She casually picked up an orange from the tea table, peeled it, and fed half to Qi Chao. 

"Surprising, isn't it? I also find it odd." 

Qi Chao remained silent for a few thoughtful moments before deciding to share some recent rumors he had heard with Chi Yu. 

"Not long ago, the Cheng family backed the wrong side, and Cheng Huai's father has since stepped back from the limelight." 

Chi Yu was taken aback but still couldn't quite understand. "Even so, his father hasn't retired. Why make such a drastic change?" 

Wouldn't having familial support be far better than starting anew in an unfamiliar place? 

Ever since Qi Chao took over the Qi family, he had gained a comprehensive understanding of the intricate power dynamics in the capital. He knew far more than the average person.
