Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 481 - 296: Renowned Throughout the World

Shanghai, inside the Maple Capital office building.

Dong Anyun knocked on the door and hurried into the office, placing a cell phone on Zhao Weilin’s desk: "Chairman, look at this!"

Zhao Weilin cast a suspicious glance at her, then turned his attention to the phone screen, his expression turning to utter astonishment.

After a long moment, he withdrew his gaze and asked Dong Anyun, "Has he contacted you?"

Dong Anyun shook her head.

Zhao Weilin sighed, "Then give him a call, invite him to come over when he’s free."

...

In the Xinghe Bay fruit store, Wei Yong was lounging on a chair, idly scrolling through his phone, when suddenly he heard a very familiar name on the TV hanging on the wall.

"Today we report on a figure—Youth patriotic entrepreneur, Bird City zx committee member, Bird City 2025 top ten outstanding youth, National Cultural Heritage Administration special advisor... Qi Yun."

Wei Yong jerked his head up, staring at the familiar face on the TV screen, his phone slipping from his hand to the floor with a clatter.

"Holy... Isn’t this old Qi..." His eyes widened like saucers, muttering instinctively, then quickly turned around and shouted, "Honey! Come and see! Old Qi’s on TV!"

His wife hesitated, temporarily not quite reacting, "Who’s on TV?"

Meanwhile, someone had already dropped their basket and ran quickly to the television.

She gazed at the photo in the news, her face full of bitterness.

...

At the Old Sichuan Flavor Hot Pot Restaurant, a waiter who knew Qi Yun suddenly ran to the bar with his phone, excitedly shouting to Old Feng, "Boss! Look... Look at the news!"

Old Feng glanced at him, half smiling, "Are you getting a bit cocky, playing with your phone during work time and still daring to flaunt it before me?"

"No... Look! Boss Qi! Boss Qi is on the news!" The young man explained anxiously.

Old Feng took the phone and looked at it for a while, then his face also showed a hint of shock. After confirming that it was indeed his old friend on the news, he became excited, leaned out and shouted to the customers in the restaurant, "All tables get a fifty percent discount today!"

After shouting, he ordered the young man, "Go to the advertising shop now, make a big poster of this photo and hang it at the front door!"

...

In a suburban villa, Old Chen listened to the news broadcast from the radio, initially stunned, then a smile of appreciation appeared on his lips...

Including President Bi, Shi Feng, Manager Sun, and others who knew Qi Yun, all were extremely surprised upon seeing the news, while genuinely happy for Qi Yun.

Of course, for those who were happy, there were naturally those who were not.

For instance, Shen Wanting, who was waiting for takeout in her rental apartment, suddenly saw the news on a certain app, and she felt as if she were struck by lightning.

Her expression turned incomparably complex, her right hand clenched tightly without realizing her nails were digging into her skin.

She could not understand how, in just over half a year, Qi Yun suddenly became successful, even more so than before their divorce, even appearing on CCTV news.

"Why..."

A surge of regret filled Shen Wanting’s chest.

Just months ago, when she was tricked out of her last cent by a guy she met online with abs, she already regretted her decision back then.

Later she tried to contact Qi Yun, but he completely ignored her, not even replying to messages, let alone meeting.

Now, seeing Qi Yun’s news again, her mindset completely collapsed.

She could accept Qi Yun living slightly better, as it would at least provide a good living guarantee for their daughter, but she could not accept Qi Yun living this well! Not only being a company boss but also a zx committee member, outstanding youth, special advisor...

That long list of titles dazzled her...

An angry Shen Wanting fiercely turned her head, furiously looking at her new boyfriend laughing foolishly while scrolling through short videos on the bed.

"Can’t you be a bit ambitious? Others are earning money outside on weekends, and all you know is lying at home playing!"

Her boyfriend was stunned by her scolding, "I worked all week; is it too much to rest at home on weekends?"

Seeing him dare to retort, Shen Wanting’s anger flared up even more, and she threw a pillow at him: "You’re over thirty and don’t even own a house! How can you talk about rest?"

"Get up and go deliver food to me! If you don’t save enough to buy a house by the end of the year, we’re breaking up!"

...

Far away in Beijing, Qi Yun’s phone was almost overwhelmed with messages, but he didn’t have time to check them because he was on the way to meet the leader Wendong.

In the business car, Qi Yun held his phone and asked Zhou Hongchang on the other end, "How’s the progress?"

Zhou Hongchang sighed, "Based on the statements from those few people, we’ve uncovered several related clues. However, to link those cases to him, we’re still missing the most critical evidence. If we can catch that Brother Biao, there might be a breakthrough."

"Also, I’ve sorted through all the evidence on that USB drive, added supplementary materials, and sent everything to your email."

"Okay, I know." After hanging up, Qi Yun opened his phone’s email and reviewed the materials sent by Zhou Hongchang.

He knew that depending on these things might not be enough, but if those above could intervene, many things would become much easier; even if the roots couldn’t be completely cut off immediately, at least the branches could be cleared.

Thus, incidents like the last time Brother Biao was assisted by a car wouldn’t happen again.

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at a residential complex. The guard at the gate approached the window, saluted, and asked, "Are you Mr. Qi?"

"Yes, it’s me." Qi Yun nodded and handed over his ID.

The guard carefully checked before returning the ID and waved, signaling the way ahead was clear.

The car slowly drove deep into the complex, stopping in front of a two-story house covered in climbing ivy.

Qi Yun opened the car door and got out; a young man was already waiting by the entrance.

He bowed slightly, confirmed his identity, and then led Qi Yun to the study on the second floor.

"Leader, Mr. Qi has arrived."

Wendong put down the document and waved at Qi Yun, then moved to the sofa.

"Come, have a seat."

Qi Yun responded and walked over, sitting on the sofa. As they had met earlier in the morning, he was not so reserved at that moment.

The young man poured tea for them, then left the study.

Wendong sipped his tea, crossed his legs, and said, "Old Xiao said you have something important to discuss with me."

"Yes." Qi Yun nodded, taking out his phone from his pocket and handing it over, "Please take a look at this first, Leader."
