If you want to see me, and I just see you, how embarrassing would that be for me?
Qin Zheng gave a barely perceptible snort.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Ning, I've been too busy lately and really can't find the time to go to Beijing. Besides, our current relationship isn't really suitable for meeting, so let's just forget about it." His words were casual towards Ning Jingqiu.
In just one minute, he apologized to Ning Jingqiu twice.
But none of his words were sincere.
It was even full of mockery.
Excuse me?
Actually, I feel quite embarrassed.
Qin Zheng held the phone receiver and could clearly hear the other person's breathing gradually becoming heavier, his emotions being provoked to a peak.
"Qin Zheng, don't be so arrogant."
Just then, a commotion came from upstairs.
"Qin Zheng, did you call me on the seventh day of the lunar month?" Ye Yun, who had just finished washing up, was drying her hair with a towel as she slowly went downstairs.
Seeing Qin Zheng smiling as he made a phone call, she raised an eyebrow slightly. Who was it?
"Mother."
Xiao Chuqi saw Ye Yun as if she had seen a savior. She weakly pushed her textbook forward, raised her little head, and looked at her with her big, watery eyes pleadingly: "Mom, Dad said I did this problem wrong. Can you teach me?"
Ye Yun sat down beside her, picked up the book, and pulled her into her arms. "Okay, baby~"
She glanced at the questions in the textbook, then at the answers given by Xiao Chuqi, and quickly found the problem. She picked up another pen and taught Xiao Chuqi the correct solution.
Xiao Chuqi listened attentively and nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with an indescribable sense of happiness, and only then did he remember to respond to Ning Jingqiu on the phone.
Response?
What a load of crap.
Qin Zheng hung up the phone immediately.
They didn't even say hello.
Ning Jingqiu stared blankly at the telephone receiver in his hand.
Hearing the disconnected sound from the receiver, he couldn't believe that someone had hung up on him.
How dare someone hang up on him?
This situation had never happened before or after he went into the sea.
The female secretary next to him, holding the documents, said with a worried look, "President Ning, this Qin Zheng is completely unreasonable, he's gone too far."
Ning Jingqiu's face was gloomy.
He knew perfectly well that Qin Zheng had gone too far; he thought Qin Zheng had gone too far even more so than his secretary!
After all, Qin Zheng had infringed upon his interests.
Ning Jingqiu was very angry, but there was no use in being angry. The most important thing now was not to let Qin Zheng take away his position in Beijing.
Thinking of this, Ning Jingqiu immediately instructed his secretary, "You, arrange the itinerary; I want to see Qin Zheng in person!"
"What?"
The secretary looked surprised.
Qin Zheng is just a nobody, at most he has some ability, is he worth their boss meeting in person?
The secretary had been by Ning Jingqiu's side for many years and knew Ning Jingqiu's identity before he went into business, but she had never seen Ning Jingqiu so passive.
What are you still standing there for?
While the secretary was still in a daze, Ning Jingqiu gave a low shout and slammed his hand heavily on the table, startling the secretary, who quickly agreed.
The secretary then hurriedly ran out.
Unbeknownst to them, they had already found themselves on the defensive, being led by the nose by Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng received the news the next day.
Ning Jingqiu set off from Beijing early in the morning and arrived in Huaicheng around nine o'clock. Afterwards, someone reported to Qin Zheng that Ning Jingqiu wanted to see him.
Ye Yun happened to be at the company as well.
Upon hearing the news, the two exchanged a glance and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
It wasn't unexpected that Ning Jinqiu would come.
He will definitely come.
This concerns his status in Beijing, and given the enmity he incurred with Qin Zheng and Gu Jin back then, he certainly doesn't want Qin Zheng and Gu Jin to develop their careers in Beijing. Otherwise, once Qin Zheng and Gu Jin become successful, they will be the first to retaliate against him!
At that point, he won't have a way to make a living in Beijing.
But why did he arrive so quickly?
Having received the news, Gu Jin pushed open the door and entered, laughing, "It seems the old rascal is really anxious. Qin Zheng, what should we do now?"
Eight years have passed, and Gu Jin has become much more composed.
However, he remained as nonchalant as ever, his eyes always gleaming with interest as he spoke, and a half-smile playing on his lips.
Qin Zheng gave a lukewarm smile.
"Everyone's so busy, who has time to see him? Does he have an appointment?"
This is great!
Gu Jin clapped his hands, "Who says otherwise? Without an appointment, who can find the time to see him!" After saying that, he instructed his assistant behind him, "Go and tell Ning Jingqiu that President Qin is very busy right now. If you want to see President Qin, you have to make an appointment first."
The assistant smiled and agreed before leaving.
Gu Jin casually sat down on the sofa, poured hot water, and made tea.
He was the most relaxed of them all.
He used to be the one in charge of building relationships, and he still is now. He gives gifts, drinks, and entertains people in various ways. In his spare time, he just lazes around in the office drinking tea.
Qin Zheng has also learned a lot over the years.
He used to hate reading those densely packed text documents, but now he can skillfully flip through documents and manage a huge corporation.
He always said that he couldn't do without Ye Yun's guidance.
He said that Ye Yun had always been by his side, teaching him these things.
Ye Yun shook her head in denial.
No, he was always capable.
He was unaware that he had once held a high position, was a powerful and influential figure in the political arena, and was an invincible and omnipotent renowned political figure.
He was just as outstanding then as he is now.
Watching the man intently flipping through the documents, Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh, mimicking his expression again and again with her eyes.
