Chapter 30 Father Ji's Beating



Song Yali couldn't wait to show off in front of Qin Huan.

In the afternoon, I ordered afternoon tea for everyone in the company.

Qin Huan had just come out of the bathroom when she was stopped by Song Yali in the office area.

"Team Leader Qin, I'd like to invite you to have afternoon tea."

Qin Huan knew what she meant and gave her blessings generously.

"Congratulations, you got Miss Ji's order."

Song Yali said "yo" in a pretentious way.

"You already know everything? I was just trying to figure out how to tell you without hurting your pride."

Qin Huan was puzzled.

"Why does it hurt my pride?"

Song Yali smiled.

"As the leader of our design team, you were eliminated in the first round of competition with me. Is that acceptable?"

Qin Huan lowered her eyes, and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

"It's just a list, it doesn't mean anything."

"That doesn't mean anything?"

Song Yali glanced at her colleagues who were watching the show silently in the cubicle, and covered her mouth in shock.

"As a designer who was personally rejected by the Crown Prince of the Jiang family, do you think you can still make a living in North City in the future?"

Qin Huan didn't care.

"Whether or not the business is successful is not up to you or me. The answer will be clear after the KPI is released at the end of the year."

After Qin Huan finished speaking, she took the afternoon tea from Song Yali and said thank you.

Just after she walked a few steps away, Assistant Fang Yicen caught up with her and asked her to go to the director's office.

Looking at Qin Huan's calm back as she left, Song Yali was almost mad to death.

I wanted to dampen her enthusiasm, but she didn't respond at all. She said so much, but it was like a punch on cotton, completely useless!

When Fang Yicen saw Qin Huan come in, he personally made her a cup of coffee.

"Team Leader Qin, thank you so much this time."

Others may not know, but Fang Yicen knows in his heart that Qin Huan asked for leave two days ago just to apologize to Jiang Jingchu and save the company's order.

Otherwise, given the character of the Jiang family's prince, he would definitely not choose their company again.

Fang Yicen also saw Song Yali's arrogant look outside in the office just now.

He thought Qin Huan would take the opportunity to mock Song Yali, but he didn't expect her to say anything.

Throughout the whole process, he was generous and confident.

Fang Yicen found it interesting and had a different opinion of Qin Huan.

Qin Huan knew what Fang Yicen meant and just smiled.

"I feel unworthy of this. It was my own fault that I offended Mr. Jiang."

Fang Yicen curled his lips and pushed several contracts on the desk in front of Qin Huan.

"These are some of the more powerful clients in North City. I was originally planning to split them between you and Song Yali. Now that she has Miss Ji's big order, I guess she won't have the energy to keep up, so..."

"So, Director Fang is sympathizing with me and giving me some extra attention?"

Fang Yicen was about to ask why you thought so when he saw Qin Huan push the contract back to him intact.

"Director Fang, it's better to be impartial. Besides, how can you be so sure that losing Miss Ji's order is a bad thing for me?"

Fang Yicen felt that he couldn't see through Qin Huan.

After she left the office, he made a long-distance call.

"Boss Wen, it's me."

Qin Huan has become increasingly busy these days. Zou Shikai's final design draft has been confirmed, and the construction party will officially start work next.

In addition to meeting with other clients, she occasionally has to visit Hengfeng Jiayuan to check on the construction site.

That day, she had just come out of Hengfeng Jiayuan when she ran into Jiang Jingchu and Ji Jingya who were talking and laughing while walking towards her, carrying a supermarket shopping bag.

It was too late for Qin Huan to hide, so she had no choice but to greet him.

"Ms. Ji, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Jingchu paused for a moment without saying a word, his gaze passing through the air and falling lightly on Qin Huan.

She seemed to have lost weight during this period. The waistline of her minimalist pure white dress was slightly tightened, making her already slender waist even more slender.

Ji Jingya smiled and nodded to Qin Huan.

"How did Team Leader Qin come out from here?"

Qin Huan twitched the corner of her mouth.

"There's a client here, I came to check on the construction."

Ji Jingya said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. When she and Jiang Jingchu passed by Qin Huan, Qin Huan heard Ji Jingya complaining about Jiang Jingchu in a low voice.

"People greet you, but you ignore them?"

Jiang Jingchu said "hmm".

"Really? I didn't notice."

During this period, Jiang Jingchu hardly contacted Qin Huan.

Because of the last test in the hospital, he felt that Qin Huan was somewhat wary and resistant to him.

Jiang Jingchu wanted to develop something with Qin Huan, but he didn't want to push her too hard, as that would be counterproductive.

Last time, I accidentally heard Han Xian say that Qin Huan was busy with Zou Shikai's house, so I thought of coming to Hengfeng Jiayuan to try my luck and see if I could meet her by chance.

As a result, as soon as I got home, I met Ji Jingya carrying a big bag of things at the gate of the community. As luck would have it, Qin Huan ran into her.

He felt so uncomfortable.

Ji Jingya came uninvited, worried that Jiang Jingchu would be unhappy, so she explained that she was entrusted by Ms. Yuan Mei to deliver daily necessities to him.

She walked in and ran to the refrigerator with ease to put fruits, drinks and other items in.

Jiang Jingchu sat casually on the sofa and sent a message to Gao Fei.

"New employees will have their training tomorrow. I think you can go and participate."

Gao Fei, "Boss Jiang, is there any important airborne troops you want me to take care of?"

Jiang Jingchu, "No, I just think you've been working for a long time and have forgotten the rules of being a special assistant."

Gao Fei broke out in a cold sweat and pondered for two minutes before coming to a conclusion.

"Mr. Jiang, I was wrong. Ms. Yuan called me earlier to ask about your itinerary, and I accidentally told her that you were going back to Hengfeng Jiayuan."

Jiang Jingchu guessed that was the case.

He flipped through his phone but didn't reply to Gao Fei's message.

Gao Fei felt extremely uneasy. He knew that Jiang Jingchu hated Yuan Mei's urging to get married the most. A few minutes later, he followed up with another message, a little cautiously.

"Did Ms. Yuan chase you home? Do you need me to find an excuse to rescue you?"

Jiang Jingchu glanced at Ji Jingya who had just put her things away and replied to Gao Fei with a few words.

"Call me in half an hour."

After Ji Jingya put her things away, she poured a glass of water for Jiang Jingchu.

"Haven't you been back here these days? I see there's no water in your refrigerator."

Jiang Jingchu said "hmm" without commenting.

Ji Jingya knew that Jiang Jingchu had many properties, and where he usually lived depended entirely on where he was closest to when he had social events in the evening.

"how are things?"

Ji Jingya was asking about Jiang Jingchu's sleep.

Jiang Jingchu nodded.

"Occasionally I can sleep through the night, but most of the time, I wake up quite often and have many dreams."

Ji Jingya pondered for a moment.

"Hearing you say that, it seems like things are recurring again. Has anything happened to you recently?"

Jiang Jingchu selfishly didn't want to tell Ji Jingya about Qin Huan's affairs.

He shook his head and said, "No."

"You've stopped taking the medicine for over a year, right? If you feel worse, you might have to continue taking it."

Jiang Jingchu curled his lips.

"Let's see. Not yet."

The topic is basically over here.

Ji Jingya crossed her fingers, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Thinking of meeting Qin Huan in the community just now, I finally thought of another topic.

"I'm going to sign a contract with Designer Song tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"

Jiang Jingchu slightly raised his eyelids.

"You want me to go?"

Ji Jingya smiled, with a beautiful curve at the corner of her mouth.

"Of course I do."

Jiang Jingchu, "Well, let's go together."

Ji Jingya felt sweet in her heart instantly, thinking that Jiang Jingchu was in a good mood today.

"Shall we go out for dinner together tonight?"

Jiang Jingchu, "Okay, you choose the restaurant."

Ji Jingya was overjoyed, as if she was waiting for his words.

"There's a new internet-famous restaurant on Qingyuan Road. It's said to have high ratings. Should we try it?"

Jiang Jingchu nodded and picked up his coat.

"Then let's go now."

He timed it, and sure enough, when the two of them got out of the elevator and got into the car, Gao Fei called "in time".

"Mr. Jiang, there's a problem with a project at Xinda, and we need you to come over and solve it in person."

Gao Fei glanced at Ji Jingya and pretended to be embarrassed.

"Now?"

Gao Fei, "Yes, it's urgent."

After Jiang Jingchu hung up the phone, before he could explain to Ji Jingya, Ji Jingya spoke very considerately.

"It's okay, go ahead and do your work. The meal will be the same next time."

Jiang Jingchu still "considerately" sent Ji Jingya to the door of Ji's villa before leaving.

Ji Jingya looked at the rear of the Aston Martin speeding away and pursed her lips silently.

After working as a psychologist for so many years, she is best at observing people's words and expressions. She can tell at a glance whether Jiang Jingchu is lying to her.

It was obvious that the phone call with Gao Fei just now was a pretext he had prepared in advance.

Ji Jingya walked into the villa with her head down, greeted Ji's father absentmindedly, and was about to go upstairs when she was stopped by Ji's father.

"Didn't you say you were going to look for Jingchu? Why are you back so early?"

Ji Jingya smiled,

"We were originally planning to have dinner together, but he had an emergency."

Father Ji glanced at his daughter. Although he had a smile on his face, there was obviously no light in his eyes.

"Men are like kites, and women are like the people who hold the kite string. Sometimes you have to let it go, and sometimes you have to take it in."

Ji Jingya said "Oh",

"I know, Dad."

"What do you know?"

Ji's father didn't want to talk about this matter, but he couldn't bear to see his daughter being kept in the dark.

"I heard that a few days ago, Jingchu caused a stir in the entire North City because of a woman. Jingya, even though you are engaged to Jingchu, you still have to be more careful about everything."
