Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1160 - 1159: Now, a Pillow When You’re Sleepy

Especially those strategists at the Academy, because of this news, had looked solemn the whole afternoon.They even investigated the people Gong Qingwan had interacted with today, hoping to find clues and see if anyone had advised her.

However...

All the investigations led to the same conclusion.

That is, there was no one behind Gong Qingwan!

All day long, Gong Qingwan stayed at home and didn’t even touch the phone; the only call she made was to Li Yan.

This result can only mean one thing: the decision was entirely Gong Qingwan’s own idea.

This is what she thought, and once she decided, she directly informed Li Yan.

Li Yan leaned back in the driver’s seat, let out a breath, and said, "Joining the company has always been the Academy’s desired outcome! Now, with Gong Qingwan voluntarily suggesting it, we have no reason to refuse."

This is certain...

The company! It’s the place closest to the Li Family’s assets.

All the trends, cash flows, and even the lines, they can investigate and uncover.

As long as Gong Qingwan shows any greed and leaves any flaw on the bills, they can trace it back and find the whereabouts of the national treasure.

Anxiousness flashed through Gu Tong’s deep pupils as she said, "The thing we want the most, she offered it to us! Yet, we’re afraid to touch it, and instead must tread carefully; Gong Qingwan’s move is indeed brilliant!"

The more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is; they all understand this.

Gong Qingwan has painted a tempting pie, wanting to see if they would take a bite.

The taste of it is unknown to anyone! Yet, they are very hungry...

As expected of Gong Qingwan, her scheming is so deep, she managed to come up with a way to save the country through a detour, creating a dazzling array that left them bewildered.

Li Yan chuckled silently and said, "Your thoughts are the same as Qiao Chenyi’s! However, he has a theory."

Gu Tong became interested and asked, "What theory?"

Li Yan glanced out the window and said, "Gong Qingwan uses the company’s position to tempt me; on the surface, it seems I got it! But in reality, I lost something."

Gained, lost...

Gu Tong’s eyes widened, and she said, "The Academy!"

Right...

Currently, Li Yan’s public identity is the Duke of Shoucheng Academy, and Gong Qingwan certainly wants to make a move on this.

The things Gong Qingwan does are inherently in the dark, untenable in the light, so how could she not fear Li Yan?

Because of this, Gong Qingwan deliberately went around to give Li Yan a position, forcing him to give up his role at the Academy.

The Duke went to work at the company; continuing to hold a position at the Academy would not be permitted, thus Li Yan has essentially lost the shelter of the Academy.

If we follow this logic, Gong Qingwan is fearful, wanting to first strip Li Yan of his Academy Uniform, severing his ties with the Academy, then make her move against him!

Gu Tong realized this and immediately said, "If this deduction is correct, it means Gong Qingwan already suspects that the ’Human Tooth’ case has a connection with us."

If she wasn’t afraid, Gong Qingwan wouldn’t act this way at all.

This proves that she is now afraid of Li Yan, and perhaps even more afraid of the Academy’s involvement, so to cut off Li Yan’s protection, she conveniently stepped back, offering the position of general manager, which also belongs to a strategy of retreating for the sake of advancing.

Li Yan said calmly, "Gong Qingwan has always been suspicious. After such a big setback with the ’Human Tooth’ incident, how could she not have some guesses?"
