Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Chapter 495 Ling vs Qin

"By the way, Athena, that company in Province S, does it have any relation with Ling family?" Ling Qingyu asked.

"Yes, Mom. Some shares belong to one of the elders."

"Hahaha," Ling Qingyu laughed with joy, seeing a demise in a group of people she hated. Noticing the weird looks from the maids, Ling Qingyu coughed and reacted. "Sorry, do you know any reason?"

"It's a lot and too complicated but the matter shouldn't disrupt our plan." Athena replied. "I guess it's probably related to Qin group's suppression. After all, some slices of their pies are touched."

"Usually, I would not mind hitting Ling family hard to satisfy myself but Qin group is a greater evil. So, let's inject our funds at a normal rate and takeover." Ling Qingyu rejected her prior yet sudden plan to attack Ling family.

Compared with Qin, who tried to murder her, these family members were cute dolls, waiting for her hands to knead and torture.

"Actually, it might be because Ling family stretches their hands too far and small clashes happen as a result but these were minors in the name of big interest and for the so-called stability." Athena shrugged. "After all, chip production means numerous opportunities in the times of the modern era. We can't live without chips."

"I understand, that Qin group is seeking monopoly in their own manner. I don't blame them too much but since they are also against me, off their heads too. Just that I might have to endure for a few years, Athena."

"A journey of a thousand mile begin with a small step, Mom."

"Wow, Athena, when did you become a philosopher?" Ling Qingyu joked.

"My name said everything."

"…" Ling Qingyu choked. Help, her daughter had copied her narcissism.

"So, I still must take a trip for the chips' mass production, correct?" Ling Qingyu asked.

"Yes, Mom. You can send others too if you're uncomfortable."

"No need, I'll go by myself and also visit Sister Xi too." Ling Qingyu said. "Now that I remember, Athena, don't limit your electronic appliances to the computers. You can expand further in other fields too—refrigerator, air-conditioning, cooker. Make these devices smart and there'll be an open market."

"Yes, Mom. I can occupy these markets with our chip technology. Thanks for the idea."

"No, no. You'll understand yourself later." Ling Qingyu waved her hand, goosebumps scrubbed across the skin at Athena's compliments. Her daughter's social skills had upgraded. "Spirit Group is going to get better in the future. Next, we can dive into pharmaceutical and heavy industries. Otherwise, don't talk about self-sufficiency."

"Heavy industry is fine but pharmaceutical might become your weakness for the enemies to attack." Athena hesitated and advised. "Unless you can control Province N with the tip of a finger like an emperor and have connections with the entire country, I suggest, Mom shelve this idea for a while."

"Even buying out an old one doesn't work?" Ling Qingyu was curious but didn't deny it.

"No, Mom. I don't think so." Athena paused and shook her head. "You can but you'll have too many enemies to deal with. Plus no one wants a new growing behemoth to compete with them. So, suppression is certain before you can prove your worth. Of course, I believe Mom can easily overcome them but it's not an ideal choice.

There are good, better, and the best. This is merely good."

"I understand." Ling Qingyu rubbed her chin. "Oh, and don't forget about the charity foundation. You try to headhunt for people. I don't mind employees without skills or experience because I can train them but I want people with uptight morals."

"Mom, you trust me too much," said Athena with a bitter smile. Her body curled into a ball and shook her head to express rejection. "No, Mom. You must work too. I've seen you being free. You must help me employ people at the last interview stage."

"What kind of daughter doesn't want her mother to rest?" Ling Qingyu expressed speechlessness.

"Oh, Mom. I'm been filial. It's not good for your brain development if a person stays still and does nothing. You must always move around and practice for the sake of your health." Athena replied righteously.

The corner of Ling Qingyu's mouth twitched. Okay, her daughter had now learned to lie without blushing. Although Athena was her AI daughter, please return the former cutie.

"Alright, my dear. Since you insist, I'll oblige." Ling Qingyu smiled and accepted the deal, coerced by Athena. Anyway, she really was going to be free. Compared to her busy state and almost workaholic, the difference was colossal.

"But do it fast." Ling Qingyu's mind went through yesterday's rescue event. The woman and the child needed her help. Instead of simply giving away, teaching someone to live well was a real help filled with humanity. "And remember our foundations will not accept any outside donations. We're funded by ourselves.

Furthermore, we'll also have our own teams of lawyers to fight against injustice for those who really can't afford or are scared to offend the powerful. Another team to investigate cases and allocate sponsorship as well. To ensure fairness and corruption, check and balance must be maintained."

"A brilliant idea, Mom." Athena followed.

Please stop, Athena, Ling Qingyu covered her face in embarrassment. "Athena, then make a proper plan for check and balance. I'm sure with your contribution, not even a cent will be wasted."

Both went quiet for a while. Athena accompanied her virtually on the seat beside her. Ling Qingyu said nothing and hummed a tune. She also needed some rest because her brain heated up a little, discussing with Athena.

Speaking of Qin Group, they were really getting more and more restless. Hmph, even though Yang Qingyue had stepped in to stop both sides from clashing, how could she not notice their small moves?

There had been many rumors against her reputation. Because she stayed too clean and away, people were in disbelief. But at one point regarding herself as lesbian, Ling Qingyu was startled and almost investigated her own group. Fortunately, she realized these were small attacks by Qin to affect her business.

Ling Qingyu immediately retaliated albeit gently because she didn't desire the clash to rise to another stake. A controlled battlefield was what a good general always attained.

So, instead of the style she used for her cheap half-sister to fight, Ling Qingyu also hired white gloves to poke at Qin family scandal. So many mistresses and a mess. The upright and righteous image had slowly collapsed.

In addition, Ling Qingyu also saw her clothing brands having more competitors and some 'complaints' from the public. Obviously, the turmoil underneath the sea had erupted again.
