Chapter 55: Even a Sorry Isn't Enough

Yes, the Chi family had never given Qi Wang much help in the past, and their family had always been prejudiced against Qi Wang's identity as an illegitimate child.

Some grudges cannot be completely eliminated even after four years.

Before the grudge was resolved, the Chi family crisis arose.

If Chi Yuan encountered such a Yue family, she would not have the idea of ​​seeing them again.

"Then why are you willing to meet him now?" Chi Yuan stood a little further away from him: "My dad just asked me to come over. He probably doesn't know you are at Chi's."

Qi Wang glanced at her sideways and said, "Of course I have something to ask him."

Isn't this nonsense?

He didn't say anything, and Chi Yuan didn't ask any more questions.

Father Chi was very surprised to see Qi Wang and habitually put on a businesslike smile.

"Why is Mr. Qi here? Are you here to accompany Yuanyuan?"

Chi Yuan didn't think he came here to accompany her.

She had no idea what Qi Wang was thinking right now.

Annex the Chi family?

It’s not that Qi Wang can’t do it, it’s just that he doesn’t want to do it now.

"I already know about the leak of search engine development secrets. Mr. Chi needs to strengthen his management of the company."

Even though the person in front of him was his father-in-law, there was no respect in his words.

"Mr. Chi is a businessman. There are some truths that don't require my reminder. Businessmen don't make investments that lose money. If the Chi Group can't even keep it secret, neither I nor the Qi Group will give you another chance."

Qi Wang is not here today as a son-in-law.

He is an investor.

Father Chi's expression changed and his smile gradually disappeared. Chi Yuan could clearly see the fatigue in his eyes.

My father has been very busy during this period and has not been able to rectify the situation in time, but how can there be so much tolerance in business cooperation?

Qi Wang has already given them a chance.

If she fails to handle the patent plagiarism issue, not only will she lose a lot of support, but the Chi Group will probably never have a chance to turn things around.

But Chi Yuan didn't allow him to speak to her father like that.

She stood next to Chi's father and was about to speak when a wrinkled hand patted the back of her hand.

Father Chi shook his head slightly at her, then said to Qi Wang, "I'm already investigating the leak, and I've made some progress. I called Yuanyuan here to discuss this matter. Since President Qi is here, it's a good opportunity for us to discuss it together."

Even Chi Yuan didn't expect that his father was investigating.

Obviously, I'm already too busy.

Qi Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "From what Mr. Chi said, it seems that he thinks the leak has something to do with me?"

Father Chi smiled meaningfully: "Mr. Qi is a smart man, he must understand what I am talking about."

After the conversation between the two business savvy people, Chi Yuan finally understood what it meant to be a dwarf compared to a giant.

She is not even a minor witch.

It seems that Qi Wang was still merciful to her.

Should she thank him?

Qi Wang would not come with her for no reason, and his father would not let Qi Wang stay for no reason.

"Where is the evidence?" Qi Wang pulled out a chair and sat down without any hesitation, tapping the table with his fingertips, sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily.

Father Chi directly retrieved the surveillance records: "The company that released the information first is just a small and micro enterprise. They wouldn't do it without the boss's approval. So I tried to find out where their boss was during the research and development period, and that's how this video came about."

"Mr. Qi, please take a look for yourself."

Chi Yuan also looked over.

The video clearly shows a man and a woman talking. She has never seen the man before, but he should be the boss of that company.

And that woman... taking a closer look, isn't she Madam Qi?!

Looking at Qi Wang again, his expression became even gloomier.

"Mr. Qi could perhaps go back and investigate the Qi family's cash flow. Of course, the surveillance footage might just be a coincidence, and Mrs. Qi has nothing to do with the leak."

The video was not long, but Chi Yuan could clearly see that Mrs. Qi gave the man something.

But what exactly that thing was, money, a card, or a check, the video was too blurry.

"Don't worry, I won't shirk my responsibilities. President Chi, don't forget to clean up the company? In the final analysis, it's because you guys haven't done enough to keep the secrets in place!"

Before leaving, Qi Wang looked at Chi Yuan deeply, then left quickly.

Chi Yuan didn't even understand why he left in such a hurry.

It shouldn't be too much trouble for him to investigate this matter thoroughly.

"Sit down."

Father Chi shook his head and sighed, then laughed at himself: "Qi Wang, this kid has a lot of opinions about me."

"he……"

Chi Yuan opened his mouth, but seemed to have nothing to say.

She didn't want to defend Qi Wang, but she also knew that he had his reasons for doing all this, and it was what the Chi family had to bear.

"You can have opinions about me, but I won't allow him to bully my daughter." Father Chi looked at her distressedly: "You've worked hard these past few days, and you even have dark circles under your eyes."

Chi Yuan touched the area around his eyes and felt a chill.

It’s the result of staying up late.

"Speaking of hard work, how can I compare to you? You carry the entire company by yourself, and I only have the skills, but I don't know anything else. If it weren't for Qi Wangshou, I don't know how many stupid things I would have done."

She didn't want to say anything good about Qi Wang, but she was grateful for his reminder on the public relations matter.

The most direct way to explain everything is at the press conference. However, if you just post a clarification online, the manipulation behind the computer is too high, and the so-called clarification is meaningless.

Chi Yuan told Chi's father what Qi Wang had said about today's public relations matter.

"It's not like this guy has no feelings for you at all." Father Chi pondered, "But it's clear that he has more complaints than feelings. You should apologize to him sincerely and talk about the past. Then see how he reacts. Since he is still willing to help you now, it means there is still room for recovery between you two."

Chi Yuan was a little incredulous: "Dad, are you sure? How could he have feelings for me? He...that was just his way of torturing me!"

It’s bad enough that she was fooled, but why does her father think so too?

"Qi Wang must hate our family to death, and I also asked him... if he liked me, and he denied it..."

Chi Yuan lowered his head, not daring to look into his father's eyes.

Apologize? If it weren't for the humiliation she'd suffered in the past few days, she would have apologized.

Father Chi was silent for a moment, then explained softly, "Of course he won't admit that he likes you. It was our family that wronged him first. So, if he still likes you under such circumstances, what does it mean to him?"

I understand this feeling.

Just like she realized her feelings for Qi Wang after working in the club.

She felt like a joke.

But after leaving the club, Qi Wang always helped her secretly, making her think... that this relationship could be made clear.

"You are my precious daughter. I don't want you to bow down to anyone, but you still have to say you're sorry."

Father Chi patted her shoulder and said, "As for what Qi Wang will do after you apologize, that's not something you can control. If he doesn't accept the apology, isn't that also giving you an answer?"

Apology... Just saying sorry is definitely not enough.

Chi Yuan unconsciously clutched the corner of his clothes.
