chapter 11 Sir Qi

Polly Li was the one who took April Qiao home yesterday. Moreover, when drinking with Otto Yu, she was at the scene and was the most qualified to speak.
Everyone looked at Polly Li at that moment, waiting for her to speak.
"Hey, April, you had really blacked out from the whiskey!"
"Yesterday, when I saw Otto Yu was making things difficult for you, I immediately called Jason Zhang."
"You know, after all, Jason Zhang is acquainted with Chairman Gene Zhao of the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce; he has the connections to help you."
"However, Otto Yu still didn’t give face and wanted to take advantage of you."
"You know very well what Jason Zhang feels for you. When he heard the news, he was furious. He stormed in with a sword and beat up Otto Yu and his group until they cried and screamed."
Polly Li lit a lady's cigarette and said this to April Qiao.
After hearing Polly Li's words, Baldwin Qi was momentarily stunned, then chuckled, shook his head slightly, and didn’t explain.
After Polly Li finished speaking, she glanced at Baldwin Qi with an indescribable look in her eyes.
Everyone's attention was on Baldwin Qi at this time, waiting to see if he had anything else to say.
Marisol Pang spoke directly, "The truth is out now. I think you have nothing else to say, right?"
Baldwin Qi shrugged, not bothering to reply; there was nothing to explain.
April Qiao shook her head in disappointment. She had thought that if Baldwin Qi was incapable, that would be fine. But she didn’t expect him to be so low in character, trying to steal Jason Zhang’s credit.
"Hahaha, okay, let’s not talk about unpleasant things. Baldwin just joined the Qiao family and needs some merits to establish himself; everyone can understand!" Jason Zhang stepped forward to defend Baldwin Qi.
Baldwin Qi gave him a mocking look and said indifferently, "Jason Zhang, stop making sarcastic comments. What concerns me, Baldwin Qi, is none of your business!"
April Qiao's face darkened and she scolded, "Baldwin Qi, enough! You're incompetent and can't stand others being better than you. Such pettiness!"
Jason Zhang quickly added, "You can't blame him. After all, he was just a prison guard from a small place. Some pettiness is normal; he will improve over time."
Marisol Pang sneered, feeling that Baldwin Qi was becoming increasingly unbearable. She felt it was necessary to persuade Clyde Qiao to let Baldwin Qi divorce April Qiao soon.
Someone like Jason Zhang, from Cheung Property, a leading enterprise in Zhonghai City, was a perfect match for April Qiao.
What could a small-town prison guard like Baldwin Qi offer to April Qiao?
"That's enough. I know Baldwin isn't like that. There must be some misunderstanding; let's not talk about it anymore!" Clyde Qiao said with a serious expression.
The family head had spoken, so no one continued to pester Baldwin Qi about the matter.
When Polly Li went to the restroom, Baldwin Qi met her at the door. He coldly looked at her and asked, "Why did you lie?"
He looked her up and down. Her appearance was no less than April Qiao's. She wore a finely tailored long dress, had long beautiful legs paired with perfect seven-centimetre heels, and her lush beautiful hair was flawless from top to bottom.
The ancient saying goes: "Judging a person by their appearance is shallow."
Baldwin Qi felt she wasn't the type to lie, but now it seemed he was blind.
"Baldwin Qi, are you here to threaten me?" Polly Li's face inadvertently revealed a pitiful expression, looking quite frightened.
"If I lied, would Baldwin Qi arrest me and lock me up in the Underworld Prison?"
"This is my first offense, please give me a chance, Baldwin Qi."
Of course, Baldwin Qi could hear the sarcastic tone in the way Polly Li addressed him as "Baldwin Qi". In the eyes of these wealthy youngsters, he was just a lowly prison guard, an ugly toad wanting to eat swan meat. Nothing special about him.
Just at that moment, April Qiao came over. Polly Li immediately said, "Don't scare me; I'll speak up for you in the future..."
April Qiao's face darkened instantly, angrily saying, "Baldwin Qi, you incompetent! You couldn't save me, and now you want to take credit for what Mr. Zhang did?"
"Polly saw everything yesterday and told the truth. How dare you threaten her?"
"Believe it or not, I'll kick you out, and you'll never step foot in here again."
Baldwin Qi helplessly said, "I didn't threaten her; it was just a normal conversation."
Polly Li quickly put on a scared expression and told April Qiao, "Yes, yes, yes, he didn't threaten me. It was just a normal chat, April. Please don't misunderstand."
Seeing the panic on Polly Li's face, April Qiao's expression grew even darker. She said, "Baldwin Qi, if I ever find out you're threatening my friends, I won't let you off!"
"Polly, let's go. Don't bother with this loser."
"Don't be afraid of him. He's just a prison guard. What can he do to you?"
After saying this, April Qiao decisively pulled Polly Li away.
Before leaving, Polly Li turned her head and gave Baldwin Qi a smug smile.
Even with his strong mentality, Baldwin Qi felt a rush of anger.
"Indeed, as Kevin Zhang's mother said, the prettier the woman, the more deceitful she is," Baldwin Qi casually shrugged and then heard that there were guests arriving at the Qiao's villa.
The visitor looked somewhat similar to Clyde Qiao and had an angry expression.
"Clyde Qiao! If you can't discipline your daughter and let her cause trouble all the time, do you realize how much trouble this could cause our group?" The man shouted angrily.
"Big brother... let's talk it out. Why are you so angry right from the start? If you don't tell me, how would I know what's going on?" Clyde Qiao helplessly shrugged.
The man, with a gloomy face, coldly said, "Your daughter went to negotiate business with Mr. Yu from the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce yesterday. She got drunk and hit Mr. Yu in the head with a bottle!"
"Now, Mr. Yu is making a big deal out of it, and Zhonghai Bank, which has a good relationship with the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, rejected our loan because of this!"
"Let alone getting back the 20 million owed, this big mess has been created. How is the company supposed to operate now?"
"How is she qualified to continue serving as the president of Qiao Group?!"
Upon hearing her uncle's words, April Qiao's face turned pale. Indeed, her drunken actions from yesterday, where she accidentally hit Otto Yu in the head with a bottle, had left significant repercussions.
