The night Chi Yuan and Qi Wang consummated their relationship, Qi Wang, as an illegitimate child, had just been acknowledged by the Qi family.
At that time, the Chi family was at its peak, an...
Chapter 285 What are you talking about
Chi Yuan couldn't help but be shocked.
"Do you know what you are talking about? If I can't even trust you, who else can I trust in the entire Qi family?"
The only person in the entire Qi family who has a close relationship with Qi Wang is his assistant.
As a result...was the assistant hinting at something when he said this?
But at the same time, Chi Yuan also noticed another problem that she had overlooked.
Qi Wang had been gone for a while, so why hadn't the assistant contacted her? Didn't Qi Wang assign him any follow-up tasks?
Now she didn't know any of this, and in a way, it didn't matter.
"I'm not saying I can't trust anyone at all. It's just that in this world, there's no one you can truly trust wholeheartedly except yourself. Ma'am, I think you understand what I mean."
The assistant typed another long paragraph.
"If one day there's something we can't decide, isn't it just you who you can trust?"
Chi Yuan: “…”
Is that all she meant? Was she really just overthinking it?
In the end, Chi Yuan didn't ask any more questions, just typed in four words and put down the phone.
"I see."
There is still a week left, and starting tomorrow, she needs to go to Qi's and deal with everything on her own.
The next morning, she came to the Qi Building.
Qi's normal working hours were from 10 am to 7 pm, and she arrived downstairs before 9 o'clock.
But just as he was about to walk towards the elevator, he was stopped by the front desk and security.
"Ma'am, please register first."
The heroine: “…”
Only then did she look at the receptionist, who looked very unfamiliar.
No one dared to stop her from coming to Qi's house before.
Even when her relationship with Qi Wang was still tense, the receptionist at Qi's company would not have failed to recognize her.
She came to Qi's house less than five times in those four years.
Chi Yuan just glanced at her and continued walking towards the elevator.
At this moment, the security guard grabbed her and said, "Miss, outsiders need to register first."
There were many people coming and going in the hall, but no one spoke for her.
How many new people had joined Qi's company during her absence? How many people had resigned after Qi Wang left?
Chi Yuan had no idea.
"Why do you think I'm an outsider?"
Chi Yuan suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked, "Are you new here?"
The security guard then looked her over and said, "I've been here for three months and I've never seen you before, so I stopped you."
"If you were an employee of Qi Corporation, I would see you every day, so you definitely aren't an employee here. Could it be that you're a family member of a senior executive here?"
“…”
Chi Yuan didn't want to reveal her identity at this time, as it would make her seem like she was abusing her power.
To be precise, she holds the largest proportion of Qi's shares and has the decision-making power.
"I'm Qi Wang's wife. Can you please move aside?"
She tried her best to make her tone sound less aggressive.
But the security guard had no intention of moving aside. Instead, he looked at her even more boldly.
"How do you prove your identity? Everyone who comes here has a work badge and an access card. What do you have?"
“…”
She has nothing.
From this perspective, she is indeed not a member of the Qi family.
Chi Yuan couldn't help but wonder if this person was sent by someone to make things difficult for her.
"Is a marriage certificate enough?" Chi Yuan sneered, "There are so many people you haven't met. What qualifications do you have to question my identity?"
"I say again, get out of the way!"
The security guard still showed no fear and did not budge at all.
"I'm just strictly enforcing company regulations. If you are really Mr. Qi's wife, you should also follow the regulations."
After several exchanges, Chi Yuan became more and more annoyed and almost exploded several times.
But she still endured it.
"Tell your Chairman Qi Jianping to come down. He can prove it."
So, the receptionist immediately called the senior management to confirm her identity.
Chi Yuan stood in the CEO's private elevator, watching the elevator door slowly close, feeling infinite self-mockery in his heart.
Look, Qi Wang is not here, she can’t even enter the company or get on the elevator.
Without Qi Wang's protection and support, she was nothing.
The elevator finally reached the top floor and Qi Jianping was already waiting outside the office.
He couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you here today? I still have a lot of things to deal with. If you come here today, you will encounter a lot of trouble, and I may not be able to take care of you."
It sounds like everything is considered for her.
Chi Yuan smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, just continue to do your work, I will master the work process as soon as possible and won't cause you any trouble."
"Otherwise, I really won't be able to handle the Hongmen Banquet in a week."
I was turned away at the door as soon as I entered today... Haha!
Qi Jianping's frown deepened, but he ultimately didn't intervene. "Then I'll send you some documents that need your review. It's a good opportunity for you to quickly familiarize yourself with the company's current situation. There have been a lot of projects that need negotiation lately, and several project leaders have specifically requested to see you, but I've turned them all down."
His meaning was very clear. Since the person was here, let's meet him.
"good."
Chi Yuan sat down in Qi Wang's previous seat and suddenly asked, "Where's Qi Wang's previous assistant? I think he can help me familiarize myself with the procedures."
Qi Jianping said, "His recent work performance has been poor, and the management has unanimously decided to give him a leave. He will resume work next month."
“…”
Chi Yuan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Why wasn't I informed of such an important matter?"
From the moment he stepped into the building, Chi Yuan felt a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart.
"The receptionist downstairs has been replaced and doesn't recognize me, which I can understand. For the sake of Qi Corporation as a whole and to reduce my burden, you asked me not to work at Qi Corporation for the time being, and I can understand that, too."
"But the assistant is suspended. He is Qi Wang's personal assistant. If he is suspended, don't I, the shareholder holding the largest proportion of shares, even have the right to know?"
I encountered several intimidating situations on the first day.
Qi Jianping smiled calmly, "It's not that we didn't inform you. This decision was made last night. Everyone is working overtime, including our management, who are all working tirelessly on the company's affairs. As the general assistant, he actually left work on time. He has no sense of teamwork. Isn't this a dereliction of duty?"
This was completely different from what her assistant had told her.
Who should she trust?
"So now is your notice?"
Chi Yuan was in a trance for a moment.
The Qi Jianping in the company was very different from the one he saw at the Chi family.
At this moment, Mr. Qi San seemed a little inhuman.
"Well, if you don't come this morning, I'll call you at the right time."
After saying that, he glanced at his watch and said, "Okay, I should get ready for the regular meeting. Mr. Chi also needs to get into work mode as soon as possible to avoid being caught by those old foxes."
