Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Qi Guanshuangshuang looked at Boss Zhang’s headache expression and chuckled lightly: ”So, Boss Zhang, if you want to continue your good days, you should find a new backer now.”

Boss Zhang’s heart was stirred, and he looked at Qi Guanshuangshuang: ”Miss Qi Guan’s meaning is, your Qi Guan Family is willing to be my backer?” Boss Zhang felt that if that were the case, it would be really good, as the Qi Guan Family’s backing is more solid than Yan Tongzhi’s.

How could Qi Guanshuangshuang let someone like Boss Zhang into the Qi Guan Family? She extended a finger and shook it gently.

”No, although my Qi Guan Family’s strength is decent, our main influence is not in Yun City, but in the south.

The reason our Qi Guan Family settled in Yun City is simply because it’s our hometown. Most of your, Boss Zhang’s, influence is in Yun City, so relying on my Qi Guan Family isn’t the best choice.

The new backer I suggest for Boss Zhang to choose is the Fang Family, known as Half City Fang in Yun City. Having them as your backer is way more useful than a mere Assistant Magistrate.”

Boss Zhang twitched his mouth and looked at Qi Guanshuangshuang as if looking at an idiot: ”You’re telling me to rely on the Fang Family, yet you’re also discussing with me teaming up to trick Fang Miaozhen. Miss Qi Guan, what are you thinking?”

Actually, Boss Zhang wanted to say more - Qi Guanshuangshuang, isn’t your mind a bit muddled, asking him to rely on the Fang Family while tricking Fang Miaozhen? If he hadn’t considered that Qi Guanshuangshuang is now the Qi Guan Family Head, Boss Zhang would have cursed her.

Indeed a fool, her mind doesn’t work properly; she was also foolish for being patient enough to listen to Qi Guanshuangshuang for so long, and being fooled by such an inept person made Boss Zhang very unhappy.

Qi Gongshuangshuang didn’t mind Boss Zhang’s disdainful look, showing complete patience: ”You want the Fang Family to be your backer, but why would they back you? You must provide a pledge.”

”A pledge to trick Fang Miaozhen? Miss Qi Guan, you’re a good friend of Fang Miaozhen. You don’t know that this Miss Fang is highly favored within the Fang Family.

Your idea is to harm me, right? If I trick her, wouldn’t the Fang Family Head eat me alive? How could they be my backer?” Boss Zhang was almost driven to laughter by Qi Guanshuangshuang’s suggestion.

Similarly, Qi Guanshuangshuang also felt Boss Zhang was incredibly foolish. The complexity of the Fang Family situation should be apparent to him without needing much explanation, and yet even after all this, he didn’t understand.

Qi Guanshuangshuang could only continue hinting: ”Boss Zhang misunderstood. Who said this pledge needs to be given to the Fang Family Head?”

Boss Zhang still wore a puzzled look, completely unaware of Qi Guanshuangshuang’s meaning, while Qi Gongshuangshuang inwardly ridiculed him, wondering how this idiot dared to look at her as if she were foolish.

”Boss Zhang, there are two candidates for the next Fang Family Head: the eldest daughter Fang Miaqing, and the second daughter Fang Miaozhen.

However, Fang Miaqing is talented, capable, and well-connected. Normally, she should be the unchallenged candidate for the next Family Head.

But in reality, it’s the rather incompetent Fang Miaozhen who now has the ability to contest with Fang Miaqing for the position. Why is that?”

Qi Guanshuangshuang had spoken this much, and finally, Boss Zhang understood her meaning, with light shining in his eyes.

”Fang Miaozhen has nothing, her only asset is her mother’s favoritism, which allows her to contest her sister, Fang Miaqing, for the inheritance.

But if Fang Miaozhen loses her mother’s favor, she wouldn’t qualify to compete with Fang Miaqing anymore.

If I could cause Fang Miaozhen to commit a grand folly, disappointing her mother, it would be equivalent to presenting Fang Miaqing with a pledge.”

Boss Zhang finally understood Qi Guanshuangshuang’s plan, as Qi Guanshuangshuang subtly breathed a sigh of relief, almost wiping her brow, thinking if he didn’t understand soon, she’d have to speak more bluntly.

After that, Qi Guanshuangshuang discussed with Boss Zhang about the plans to trick Fang Miaozhen, primarily using the angle where Fang Miaozhen, as Boss Zhang’s partner, wouldn’t suspect Boss Zhang of scheming against her, thus counter-trapping her.

Once the plan was decided, even Boss Zhang couldn’t help but click his tongue: ”I didn’t expect the Qi Guan Family Head to be so ruthless, but if our plan succeeds, at least we could acquire tens of thousands of silver notes from the Fang Family.

With so much silver extracted, even if the Fang Family doesn’t suffer greatly, they’ll be weakened; would that really make Fang Miaqing happy? It’s her future inheritance after all.”

Qi Guanshuangshuang casually waved her fan: ”No worries, after this matter, I’ll only take thirty percent of the silver, as compensation for being schemed against by Fang Miaozhen in the past.

If you don’t keep the remaining seventy percent for yourself and hand it all to Fang Miaqing, with such sincerity, the Fang Family as a big backer will be guaranteed.”

Boss Zhang murmured a few random agreements, still contemplating the future plan, thinking that if it succeeded, he’d end up with tens of thousands of silver notes.

His gambling house brought in at least ten to twenty thousand silver notes annually, but unfortunately, paying Yan Tongzhi took up eighty percent of his profits.

Calculating this way, he realistically netted only twenty to thirty thousand silver notes annually.

If he could have tens of thousands of silver notes at once, he could leave Yun City, head for distant lands, and buy a large piece of land, becoming a major landowner.

Then he could marry a good main husband, take several beauties as partners, and later send his children to private schools for education, perhaps even attain official titles and improve his household status.

Boss Zhang indulged in his fantasies alone, while Qi Guanshuangshuang lifted a teacup, the lid hiding a cold smile from her lips, unafraid of his greed, only of him not being greedy.

After the two reached an agreement, Fang Miaozhen, who had been longing to continue gambling, hurriedly returned with pea cakes, placing them on the table.

Having run errands for no apparent reason, Fang Miaozhen was in a bad mood and said to Qi Guanshuangshuang: ”Eldest Miss, I bought back the pea cakes.

Shuangshuang, could you do me a favor and simplify the stakes? Make it less trouble, alright?”

Qi Guanshuangshuang rested her chin on the armrest, smiling: ”Alright, today let’s play big. Just wagering silver notes is dull; let’s bet something else.”

Fang Miaozhen paused, glancing at Boss Zhang on the side. Boss Zhang nodded slightly, indicating it was acceptable.

Fang Miaozhen then returned to her senses and nodded: ”Okay, though what shall we wager if not silver notes? Jade Pendants or antique paintings?”

Qi Guanshuangshuang shook her head, reached into her sleeve, and pulled out a stack of papers, waving them in front of Fang Miaozhen: ”Let’s wager these, land deeds, house deeds, property contracts, that’s exciting.”
