Chapter 43 Conflict Look at Xia Yiqing's smug look...

Seeing Xia Yiqing's smug look, Xia Lie's anger grew more and more intense.

He pinched himself hard and frantically recalled the instructions on the phone.

I can't conflict with Xia Yiqing, I can't.

It's not the right time yet.

"You..." Xia Lie's eyes were almost spitting fire, but unlike before, he managed to control himself this time.

"Qingqing, what you said is really interesting. Hahaha. I wonder if our partners will feel the same way when we discuss business over a glass of wine?"

Seeing Xia Yiqing frown, Xia Lie took a step back with a proper expression.

"I'm really looking forward to the dinner tonight. If Qingqing behaves well,

"If you win this partnership, maybe Uncle Er will give you the CEO position, right?"

"Really? Then I'd be grateful to President Xia for the introduction."

Xia Lie managed to hold on through the hypocritical business talk, even managing a smile. "Okay, I'll have my assistant send you the address and time."

"Just send it to my assistant."

Xiao An stepped forward and looked at the graceful secretary beside Xia Lie. He said in a businesslike voice, "Please add your contact information."

Seeing that Xiao An didn't encounter any problems, Xia Yiqing walked towards the office that looked like a storage room.

It was indeed a bit dark without opening the curtains.

She grasped the curtain and pulled it aside.

With a "crash", the bright sunlight outside poured out, surrounding the room with warmth. Xia Yiqing squinted her eyes, as it was a little dazzling.

"Manager Xia, I've already scheduled tonight's banquet on my schedule. Please take a look."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao An turned on the light as well. Xia Yiqing frowned, "It's good to have some light outside."

Xiao An stuck out his tongue and said, "It's not us who pays for the electricity anyway. The window is so small that the light is uneven.

"Plus, I saw that the lights in the president's office were always on, and the air conditioner was on."

It's autumn now and it's not that hot anymore.

Outside, people usually choose long-sleeved shirts. Once it’s finally warm enough inside, who would think of turning on the air conditioner?

Sighing that it was a luxury, Xia Yiqing didn't say anything more about Xiao An turning on the light. She just lowered her head and started to deal with the documents seriously.

Many of the planning department's projects are already on track, but there are also many cases of failure.

Xia Yiqing was previously only responsible for listening to reports from a few supervisors, but now she suddenly has to read and follow up on them herself, which is quite difficult.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?"

Xia Yiqing paused holding the document, and suddenly recalled the empty tea room a week ago.

And the criminals waiting in the bathroom.

"Xiao An."

"Hmm? What's up, manager?"

"A week ago, when they said they were going to have a general meeting, you went to the meeting, right?"

"Yes, I reported it to you at that time. Have you forgotten?"

"What was said at the meeting?"

"Hmm...it seemed like we were explaining our corporate culture to everyone, but it was just the same old stuff."

"What time does your meeting end?"

"Hey, it seemed like it was about to end at one, but Vice President Xia, oh, now President Xia, went on stage to give a speech and give lectures, so it was delayed until three o'clock."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am sure!" Xiao An didn't even have time to eat lunch that day and was so hungry that he was exhausted.

"At that time, everyone was called to a meeting?"

"It seems so. The manager and I were not invited."

Xia Yiqing's face darkened. "Who organized this general meeting?"

"I'm not sure about this. There's no notification in the work group," Xiao An muttered as he flipped through his phone.

"That shouldn't be the case. Were we excluded by the work group?"

Xia Yiqing, who had been isolated countless times during group work during her student days, was not surprised and nodded, "It seems so."

"By the way, manager, why are you asking me this? Is it because I wasn't there when you were kidnapped? I'm sorry, I want to leave too, but they said that those who leave will have their wages deducted..."

As she was speaking, Xiao An curled her lips and her eyes became watery as if she was about to cry.

"Okay, okay, it's okay. If there are any other documents you need me to process, bring them over."

Xiao An blinked, "It seems that's all."

"Hmm?" Xia Yiqing looked at the workload which was almost half of the usual workload, and the corners of her mouth curled up slowly. She tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, making a rather melody.

"Then tell the people in the project department that the meeting will be moved forward to the small conference room on the first floor in twenty minutes."

Xiao An hesitated for a rare moment, "Manager, it's almost lunchtime, isn't it a bad idea?"

Seeing Xiao An's eyes glancing around, Xia Yiqing glanced at her phone and saw the pop-up message from Qi Hanmu, her expression softened a little.

"Okay, then we'll have a meeting at two in the afternoon."

Xiao An was very happy, thinking that he had persuaded Xia Yiqing, and he was smiling from ear to ear.

"That's what I've been saying. Those CEOs are just sitting there doing nothing. They don't do any work, so why should we have to do so much?"

Xia Yiqing unlocked the screen and saw the man's serious words, "Remember to eat lunch," and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Yeah," she casually responded to Xiao An's words and typed to Qi Hanmu,

"We're ready to eat. Has Mr. Qi eaten yet?"

After a long while, someone slowly said, "Mr. Qi, this is not good. It seems strange."

"What should we call him, Third Master?"

After sending the message, Xia Yiqing placed her phone upside down on the table, and she didn't even realize that the corners of her mouth were raised.

Xiao An was stunned. "Manager, who are you talking to? You look so happy."

Thinking of what Qi Hanmu had just said, Xia Yiqing clenched her fist, put it to her lips, and coughed lightly, "Manager, it's not nice. Just call me Sister Xia from now on."

"oh."

Seeing Xia Yiqing happily pick up her phone again, Xiao An was puzzled, but still took the opportunity to take out her phone and texted the other party, "She is normal today. She has read the documents of the project department and has not yet had a meeting with the people over there."

The other party replied quickly, "Okay, keep an eye on it," and then a transfer came.

Sweat beads appeared on his palms, and Xiao An's vision was divided into two. One side was staring at the transfer information, and the other side was staring at Xia Yiqing, with his eyes almost bulging out.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Yiqing felt inexplicably uncomfortable being stared at.

"No, nothing."

Xiao An forced a smile, but it looked uglier than crying.

Xia Yiqing thought someone had bullied her and was about to ask when Qi Hanmu's message popped up, "Call me Hanmu, or Mumu."

The first Xia Yiqing is understandable, but the latter one is simply an intrusion.

Xia Yiqing's smile gradually widened. "Mumu? Is it blasphemy for me to address the almighty Third Master like that?"

Then followed by a "smirk" expression.

As soon as she sent it out, Xia Yiqing regretted it.

Looking at the endless deep blue sea avatar, she wanted to bang her head against the wall to knock out her brain for daring to joke with the Third Master.

How dare you! People just say nice things, and you really call them that?

Her palms were sweating, she pressed the withdraw button and then clicked "Confirm". Before Xia Yiqing could even breathe a sigh of relief, she saw a message coming slowly from the other side.

"What does 'smirk' mean?"

He didn't pursue "Mumu".

Xia Yiqing clenched her fists, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time.

But why does he keep clinging to his own emoticons?

"Uh, excuse me."

Before she could finish typing "Wrong message", the person on the other end coldly said, "Don't tell me I sent it by mistake, and don't let me know you're chatting with multiple men at the same time."

Qi family.

Everyone could feel that the aura surrounding the man in the main seat was even more severe.

It was like a biting cold wind, which could blow away the weak skin on a person's body.

The person reporting on the podium was also trembling with fear, "Qi, Director Qi..."

His legs were trembling, and he was almost about to kowtow to this evil spirit.

Who knew that the evil spirit would come to the headquarters by helicopter early in the morning, and as soon as he arrived, he asked for the financial statements of each department and asked the heads of each department to report. Those who did not report well, or who concealed or forged information were fired on the spot.

Moreover, this person doesn't care whether those people are related to the Qi family or not.

Several relatives related to the Qi family were fired by Master Qi San without blinking an eye.

When they begged, Qi Hanmu just coldly took out the evidence and threw them aside, "Go on your own, don't implicate the Qi family."

After seeing the things next to them, some people went crazy and some cried bitterly.

More people were crying and shouting, trying to hug Qi Hanmu's calves and beg for mercy.

From beginning to end, the man in the high position remained calm, and only pressed his chest while adjusting his tie.

"Take them all out."

The noise made him feel suffocated.

So even if the presenter on the stage knew that the last page of the PPT was "Thank you everyone", he had no choice but to continue speaking.

Although he didn't know what he was talking about, that's what he did sometimes, and he would even talk about the recent situation of his employees.

"stop."

In the main seat, the intimidating Third Master Qi finally spoke.

But it's different from before.

He just pinched his eyebrows and said, "The meeting is suspended."

There was a quiet cheer from everyone.

Qi Hanmu sent a message to the other party, "I like you sending me emoticons. Don't be afraid of me getting angry. I'm going to eat now. Don't be angry."

Xia Yiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the message sent by the other party with zeros, whole numbers, commas and periods.

She was getting up and preparing to go to the staff cafeteria for dinner when the video call rang.

She was completely unprepared. Xia Yiqing thought that after reconciling with Qi Hanmu, they would still do their own things.

She didn't expect that the man would send her messages so frequently.

"Buzz..."

Xia Yiqing's phone, which had been muted, was still vibrating.

Xia Yiqing's stomach also rumbled, and the sound was mournful and gentle. One could tell from the sound that she was hungry.

But Xia Yiqing is not that arrogant. Although she is thick-skinned, she is not thick-skinned enough to talk nonsense with Qi Hanmu in public.

Especially love words.

Xia Yiqing changed her mind and thought that if she saved someone and they reconciled with her, she had to show some appreciation.

"Promise yourself to me", that person is not with Qi Hanmu now, so he has to be more proactive in words.

Anyway, Xia Yiqing closed her eyes. Qi Hanmu was so nice, so she wouldn't suffer any loss.

As long as Qi Hanmu is not angry, it's fine.

"Boss," Xiao An changed his address for some unknown reason, "Do you want to go eat now? It might be a bit crowded. Do you need to wait a moment?"

Xia Yiqing hid her cell phone under the table, but the screen was still flashing and the two red and green buttons were jumping.

When she came in the morning, the door of this office had already given Xia Yiqing a glimpse into what "dilapidated" meant.

It creaked and not only couldn't lock, it almost swung down and hit her.

"Beep——" the call was connected.
