The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!-Chapter 106: Publicity Stunt!

Who knew if Yang Qingxi would change her mind if they delayed?

Yes, the price was high. But this hotel could recover its cost within ten years.

More importantly, this was their first real business connection with the Yang Family.

That alone made it worth it.

Yang Qingxi’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, as if this were just a trivial deal. She casually made a call.

Soon, a team of lawyers from the Yang Consortium arrived.

They were already staying at the hotel.

And they brought with them the already prepared contract.

Chu Daxing and Chu Zhenwu were both slightly surprised at how fast everything moved, but they simply attributed it to the efficiency of the Yang Consortium’s elite staff.

The contract was placed before them.

Terms were clear.

They had three working days to prepare the funds.

If they breached the contract, compensation would be ten times the amount.

Assets such as villas and factories could be mortgaged.

Chu Daxing didn’t hesitate.

He signed.

At that moment, Su Mo’s inner voice sounded.

[Should I remind Miss Yang...]

[Chu Daxing is going to die soon anyway...]

[Better let Chu Zhenwu sign too.]

Yang Qingxi’s eyes flickered slightly.

Without missing a beat, she spoke, "Chairman Chu should sign as well."

Chu Zhenwu didn’t think much of it and signed too.

In their eyes, this was just standard procedure.

Soon, the contract was finalised.

The Chu father and son left with satisfaction and calculations.

Chu Daxing was already thinking ahead.

His son, Chu Ziyuan, and Yang Qingxi... were about the same age.

If a connection could be formed between them, the Chu Family would truly rise.

"Manager Wang, you can inform the staff regarding the changes. Those who want to continue working here can stay. Others can resign and report to the Yang Administrative Building tomorrow."

"Yes, Boss." Manager Wang nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.

After he left, only Su Mo and Yang Qingxi remained in the room.

Su Mo tilted his head slightly. "Miss Yang, even if tonight’s chaos affects the hotel’s reputation... was it really worth selling it at only three times the price?"

Yang Qingxi didn’t hesitate.

"It doesn’t matter," she said calmly. "After tonight, my mother won’t let me keep this hotel anyway."

She glanced at him.

"Instead of waiting for the price to drop after its reputation declines... isn’t it better to sell it now at three times the value?"

Su Mo fell silent for a moment.

"Miss Yang... we could change the plan, you know," he said slowly. "I don’t want to create chaos while making a loss."

Yang Qingxi shook her head lightly.

"Actually, the government is already shifting focus toward developing tourist areas in the eastern region of the city. In one or two years, this hotel’s profits will decline."

She continued, her tone steady.

"And the grassland about 200 meters from here... is already planned to become a cemetery."

She looked at him.

"It’s not worth keeping."

Su Mo blinked once.

Then his expression eased.

"If you say so."

Yang Qingxi’s lips curved faintly.

"Let’s go," she said. "The party is still underway."

***

After returning to the hall, Su Mo and Yang Qingxi finally sat down to eat. The earlier commotion faded into the background, replaced by soft music and the low hum of conversations. The atmosphere regained its elegance, as if nothing had disrupted it at all.

While casually eating, Su Mo sent a message to Leng Shuang.

[Eat early. Stay away from the stage.]

Yang Qingxi noticed his actions, but didn’t ask.

Across the hall, Leng Shuang read the message, her brows knitting slightly. She didn’t understand, but her instincts immediately warned her that her master was definitely planning something troublesome.

Without hesitation, Xiao Mu pulled Chu Jing along. "Let’s eat first."

Chu Jing blinked. "But the main event is about to start—"

"Eat."

His tone was calm but firm.

Soon, the two finished their meal and quietly shifted farther away from the stage, blending into a less noticeable corner.

On stage, performances continued smoothly. Songs, dances, and instrumental pieces followed one after another, each earning polite applause. The guests watched with mild interest, though most were more focused on their own circles.

Finally, the host returned, smiling brightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. Now, let us welcome tonight’s main character—CEO Chu Daxing!"

Applause echoed as Chu Daxing stepped onto the stage, dressed sharply, confidence evident in every step.

"Thank you all for coming," he began, his tone warm and practiced. "Tonight, I’m honored to celebrate my birthday with everyone here."

He paused briefly, letting the attention gather.

"And on this occasion, I would like to share an important announcement."

The hall quieted slightly.

"On the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival next month, Daxing Technology will officially launch our new online streaming platform." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

A ripple of murmurs spread.

Chu Daxing continued, outlining the features with enthusiasm—entertainment integration, live interaction, exclusive content.

But most people present immediately understood.

This was a publicity move.

With so many celebrities present tonight, the announcement would spread rapidly. By the time the platform launched, it would already have a strong audience base.

No one objected.

After all, Chu Daxing had promised to distribute shares among several entertainment companies. Those who stood to benefit naturally supported him.

The rest simply didn’t care.

Meanwhile, Chu Zhenwu was busy introducing Lin Fan to several influential businessmen.

"This is Xiao Lin," he said with a smile. "A promising young man with a bright future."

The businessmen nodded politely, though their curiosity was clear.

A young man dressed so simply... yet personally introduced by Elder Zhenwu?

When they learned Lin Fan was his benefactor, their interest deepened.

Still, no one questioned him openly.

Not with Chu Zhenwu present.

Lin Fan stood calmly, his expression composed, as if such attention was natural.

At that moment, Chu Zhenwu’s gaze shifted across the hall.

It landed on Chu Jing.

She was standing at a corner, slightly leaning toward a man as they spoke quietly. From a distance, the two appeared unusually close.

Chu Zhenwu’s eyes immediately turned cold.

Without hesitation, he strode forward.

"Chu Jing!"

His sharp voice cut through the surrounding noise.

Chu Jing stiffened instantly.

"G-grandpa...?"
