Even After My Death-Chapter 689 - 588 Qi Xingzhou Who Was Miserably Trapped by Himself
Chapter 689: Chapter 588 Qi Xingzhou Who Was Miserably Trapped by Himself
In fact, Qi Xingzhou’s life these days isn’t as easy as he makes it seem when he chats with Jiang Ning on WeChat.
Upon realizing he had returned to normal, the only way Qi Chen, who loves this younger brother dearly, could express his joy was by bringing Qi Xingzhou to the Qi Company and loading him with a massive pile of work.
The Qi family’s business is vast and had always been managed by Qi Jingshan and his son, Qi Chen.
Now, with Qi Xingzhou back to normal, both Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen were so ecstatic that Qi Jingshan even planned to retire and travel around with his wife for leisure.
Unlike other companies where power struggles are rampant, the Qi family has an open environment with strong family bonds.
Seeing Qi Xingzhou’s recovery, Qi Chen not only harbored no dark thoughts but was even a bit happy, believing that with unified brothers, their strength could conquer anything. Once Qi Xingzhou learned business management, he’d be not just a brother but also his most trusted partner on the business battleground.
This idea, however, was one-sided, as the family’s Bitter Gourd Brother was not cooperative at all.
Before Jiang Ning joined the variety show, Qi Xingzhou was like a puppy with drooping ears, ignoring the Qi family members while constantly trying to get close to Jiang Ning.
Now that Jiang Ning is participating in a variety show, and Qi Xingzhou must stay home due to driving lessons and researching the new system, Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen seized the opportunity.
Both of them used every trick in the book, taking Qi Xingzhou to work at the company every day.
Once at the company, they didn’t let Qi Xingzhou idle, personally taking out top-secret documents and laying them before him to slowly familiarize himself with.
During business affairs, they’d have him by their side, patiently breaking down and explaining business knowledge to him.
When meetings took place, Qi Xingzhou was the one who couldn’t be absent, though his participation wasn’t necessary. After the meetings, the Qi father and son would quiz him on the discussions.
Qi Xingzhou wanted to integrate into Jiang Ning’s life, while the Qi father and son were finding ways to merge Qi’s business into Xingzhou’s world. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
One could say that the knowledge the Qi father and son imparted to Qi Xingzhou was nothing short of a full disclosure.
And Qi Xingzhou’s performance did not disappoint them. Although he might lament and complain about his father and brother forcing him to learn to manage the company when chatting with Jiang Ning on WeChat,
his mind was diligently absorbing everything taught by the Qi father and son, thoroughly understanding and mastering it.
His learning ability in some aspects was already above average, and given that he felt no malice from the Qi father and son, a little effort led to exponential results.
If the knowledge the Qi father and son taught were water, then Qi Xingzhou’s brain was akin to a sponge, seamlessly absorbing and effortlessly applying what he learned.
Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen quickly noticed their son|brother’s talent in business, overjoyed by this unspeakable sense of achievement, which was more satisfactory than securing a billion-dollar contract.
As a result, they entrusted Qi Xingzhou with more work content and company projects.
Even Qi Xingzhou couldn’t have anticipated that his initial thought of being able to leave to find Jiang Ning once he learned these things would be dashed.
Instead, the more adept his learning abilities became, the more delighted the Qi father and son grew, assigning him an endless stream of work and granting him more decision-making power in the company.
Qi Xingzhou never imagined that his first encounter with the harshness of life, before even entering society, would come from his own beloved father and brother.
By day, he was drafted by his father and brother to work at the company, and after work, he had to practice driving. When he finally wrapped up the exhausting day and returned home, he’d have to stay up late in his room, coding and developing the new system.
Occasionally, he had to handle matters concerning his own branch company.
Recently, Qi Xingzhou’s life has been extremely hectic, busier than working cattle and horses in a big city.
Luckily, two days ago, he finally passed the joint test for the second, third, and fourth sections of driving, obtaining his own driver’s license. The time and effort expended on this matter over this period had paid off.
Next time he meets Jiang Ning, he won’t just be the little fool standing by the roadside waiting for Jiang Ning to pick him up.
He can actively drive to find Jiang Ning.
Besides promptly messaging Jiang Ning to tell her the news, the Qi family also learned about it from the coach immediately after he got his license.
When Qi Xingzhou expressed a desire to learn driving and get his license, it was Qi Chen who personally took him to enroll in the driving school.
Though the Qi family never inquired about Qi Xingzhou’s driving practice, they were secretly paying close attention.
When Qi Xingzhou finished signing up, Qi Jingshan secretly told Ji Shuang and Qi Chen, "Don’t fight me on this, Xingzhou’s first car has to be a gift from me!"
Back then, Qi Chen wore a slightly resigned expression, "Dad, you give yours, I’ll give mine, there’s no conflict at all."
He wouldn’t admit that on the way to enroll his brother, he was already planning to gift a car to him.
Ji Shuang actually had the same thought; what could be more appropriate than gifting a car directly when their son received his license?
"I want to give one too," she said.
Thus, on the day Qi Xingzhou received his license, he ended up receiving three luxury cars at once from his family.
It wasn’t clear if the three of them had coordinated beforehand, but each presented Qi Xingzhou with different brands and models of cars, perfectly suiting his various future travel needs.
Knowing they were celebrating his driving license, Qi Xingzhou invited his parents and brother out for a lavish dinner that night, and everyone was delighted.
With a driver’s seat in hand, Qi Xingzhou’s busy life found some leisure.
At the very least, he no longer needed to hitch a ride from his father and brother and could drive himself to the company.
He no longer had to wait for his father and brother after work and could leave early after handling his business affairs.
Leaving the company, Qi Xingzhou sat in his car, not driving off immediately, but instead pulling out his phone and opening the recently downloaded Penguin Video app.
On this app, Qi Xingzhou had only one browsing history record, which was Jiang Ning’s program group’s live broadcast.
Qi Xingzhou easily located Jiang Ning’s live room, cleared the dense comments, and quietly watched.
After a while, he minimized the window, returned to the main screen, and tapped on the familiar little green bubble icon, locating the pinned conversation with Jiang Ning, and earnestly began typing a message.
Jiang Ning’s live stream stats were consistently the best among her peers, naturally making her the primary choice for editing highlights by video creators.
Every day, thousands of new videos emerged in Jiang Ning’s discussion square.
This high output and attention made many celebrity stars look up in envy.
They had also watched the live broadcasts of the recent days by the program team, aware that Jiang Ning hadn’t had any highlight performances during the week, unlike before when her Conan’s physique gained her countless fans, which seemed absent in this variety show.
Jiang Ning’s explosive fame came in large part because she constantly refreshed people’s perceptions with incidents involving hat-wearing uncles in various cities, opening a new world for them.
Things she did were what any patriotic citizen hoped they could also achieve.
It can be said that the affection netizens hold for Jiang Ning is essentially seeing her as another version of themselves.
Jiang Ning’s performance at Sanwan Village over the past week, although showing her versatility and ease in handling various tasks, didn’t involve the incessant catching of criminals like before. Such tranquil life is normal for others, but seemed a bit too flat for Jiang Ning.
Anyone would have thought that the heat surrounding Jiang Ning would gradually die down due to this calmness, but the current batch of netizens were not just highly active but remarkably persistent.
Alas! No one knew when the traffic cake around Jiang Ning would allow the entertainment circle to have a piece... even just a bite would be nice.

Sanwan Village is under the administration of Hetian Town, over a hundred kilometers away. In a red brick residential building, a woman was idly lying on a rocking chair playing with her phone, swiping across an edited video from a content creator.
Initially, she didn’t care, but upon hearing a slightly familiar name, she frowned and then stared wide-eyed at Jiang Ning’s face on the screen.
A few minutes later, she angrily got up and ran to the back of the house, shouting, "Mom! Mom, come out! I found that little bastard! Come and see! Isn’t this that little brat?"
