Chapter 74
When I came out of Qiao Ye's house, it started to drizzle outside again.
Qiao also leaned leisurely at the door and handed them two black umbrellas. "Remember to return the umbrellas to the company after the rain stops."
Her words made both of them choke, and they complained somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Are you so stingy even with two umbrellas?"
Qiao also looked at them, a smile flashed in his peach blossom eyes, and he said half-seriously, "This is not an ordinary umbrella."
He Shanyi & Cheng Feng: “?”
Qiao continued calmly, "This is the umbrella in Wang Wei's poem."
He Shanyi & Cheng Feng: "..."
Now, they all realized that this gentleman was in a good mood today, so he was still in the mood to play a joke on them.
After seeing the two people off, Joe returned to his house.
She looked at the relatively clean house and suddenly felt lonely.
I always feel like something is missing.
Maybe, it's just that someone is missing.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
*
The capital at this time
Pei Qing has been working for a month.
Xue Xiaochen only gave her a week to familiarize herself with the company's affairs and the distribution of the Kang family's current property.
She and Kang Lening came back together.
It was when she saw Xue Xiaochen coming to pick her up at the airport that she realized that the young man who had been living next door to Qiao Ye was actually the young master of the Kang family who had "died" twenty years ago.
At that time, Kang Lening said to her with a smile: "How about it, are you surprised?"
It was indeed a bit unexpected, but she quickly accepted it all.
After all, anyone who can be Joe's neighbor must not be too bad.
Under Xue Xiaochen's manipulation, Kang Lening was directly parachuted into an important position in the company.
Many people have opinions on this, but most of them are from the Kang family.
However, the family’s people are now in decline. Except for some shareholders who cannot be moved, 80% of the top management have been replaced by Xue Xiaochen’s own people.
The company they work for is not currently a mainstream enterprise of the Kang Group, so Kang Lening's sudden arrival only caused a stir within their company for a while.
Later, Kang Lening proved his worth in his own way, and some of the criticisms about him gradually subsided.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
"Hey, Miss Pei." A slightly energetic voice came.
She knew who it was without even having to think.
No one except Kang Lening called her that anymore.
Pei Qing raised his head from a pile of documents, looking somewhat helpless. "What's wrong, my eldest master?"
She found that these second-generation rich people all had one common problem, which was that they had "too many things to do."
It was the same with Qiao, and so was Kang Lening when he came here.
Of course, Xue Xiaochen does not have such a special one at the moment.
She usually speaks briefly and expresses her meaning very clearly.
"Sister Xiaochen has a dinner party tonight, do you want to go with her~" Kang Lening poked his head out.
"I'm busy. And it's not nice to invite an outsider like me to your family's dinner party, right?"
Pei Qing lowered her head again. She might have to work overtime tonight because the party A needed the documents on Wednesday.
Kang Lening glanced at her thoughtfully, "Actually, tonight is not our family dinner. It's Sister Xiaochen who wants to treat you to a meal."
"Um?"
"Sister Xiaochen said you've been back for a long time. She's been very busy lately and hasn't had time to treat you to a meal. It just so happens that she's free now, so she'd like to treat you to a meal."
His words really sounded like something Xue Xiaochen would say.
So it would not be nice for her to refuse again.
Pei Qing sighed softly and glanced at the time. It was almost time to get off work.
"Give me a moment then. I'll clean up."
"good."
Xue Xiaochen gave her a private office with a small rest room for her to change clothes or put on makeup.
I tidied up my appearance before walking out of the office.
Take the elevator directly to the underground garage. As soon as you get out of the elevator, there is a black, low-key private car parked at the door.
No need to think about who it is.
When she opened the car door and got in, she saw Xue Xiaochen dozing with his eyes closed in the back seat.
Since she came back, she had only seen him at the airport, but it was only a quick glance. This time she took a closer look.
More mature than when I was in University A.
Hearing the voice, Xue Xiaochen slowly opened his eyes, "Is it coming?"
"Um."
It was eerily quiet inside the car.
If it were before, Pei Qing might have felt a little awkward, but now she just felt very tired.
So I closed my eyes and began to rest.
The car drove smoothly on the avenue and finally stopped at a Japanese restaurant.
She opened her eyes, and sure enough, after a rest she felt much better.
Kang Koning opened the car door and two people got out of the car one after another.
Xue Xiaochen: "The Japanese food here is quite authentic. I wonder if you can get used to it. If not, their Chinese dinner is also quite good."
Pei Qing nodded. "I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky about food."
Three people walked into the store.
After entering, Pei Qing realized that Kang Lening had already booked a private room.
The private room is not very big and should be specially prepared for three to four people.
After they were all seated, Xue Xiaochen spoke, "I guess you've all met before. So I don't need to introduce myself."
"Um."
"Le Ning's current identity is somewhat special, and none of our family members know of his existence. So during this period of time, I'm afraid you will have to keep it a secret."
Her words seemed to be an admonition to her, but in fact they were a reminder to her that it was better not to say anything extra.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xue, I've always kept my mouth shut." Pei Qing smiled.
She had already guessed that this meal might not be as easy as she imagined.
The waiter had already brought their order.
"Eat. I've been having a hard time with you lately."
"Mr. Xue, what are you talking about? This is what I'm supposed to do for the salary I get."
Xue Xiaochen ignored her words and continued, "Also, there's something else I might need your help with."
"What?"
"I'm afraid the old man won't be alive for much longer."
When she said this, Pei Qing and Kang Lening were both stunned.
Pei Qing's impression of Mr. Kang still remains at the energetic state he was in a year ago. Only a year has passed, and he's already about to give up?
Her intuition told her that it might not be that simple.
"Is...is there a reason?"
Obviously, someone was more anxious than her.
But Kang Lening was not worried about the old man's health. He had never met Old Man Kang, so naturally he didn't have much sympathy for the old man.
What he cares about is whether he can get his own shares.
"Yes." Xue Xiaochen nodded without hesitation, "It was my instruction."
"What?!"
Pei Qing didn't even bother to eat. He put down his chopsticks and looked at her.
"As long as the old man is alive, the power of the Kang family will never fall into my hands." The woman did not hide her purpose.
"But as far as I know, most of the people in the Kang family are now yours." Pei Qing did not quite agree with her reason.
Although she had not been in the country for more than a year, she still knew some things about the Kang family through some news.
At least Xue Xiaochen of the Kang family is definitely not in a passive position now.
"That's just on the surface. My people are only gradually taking over some of Kang's emerging industries. But the Kang's core industries are not in my hands." Xue Xiaochen paused and said, "I can only say that my people are only infiltrating the existing industries now."
"The vast majority of these people aren't loyal to the old man's foolish sons. They're loyal to the old man himself. In other words, if the old man didn't give his approval, none of us would be able to take over these businesses."
This sentence reveals the embarrassing situation they are in now.
Pei Qing looked at her, "So what do you want to do?"
She had already vaguely guessed what she wanted to do, but even so, she still couldn't believe it.
This happened in the country. Does she really dare to do this?
Perhaps seeing through her inner thoughts, Xue Xiaochen just smiled and said, "You must have witnessed Ah Ye's methods in Country M, right?"
Pei Qing was silent. She didn't want to talk about this at all.
"Aye's methods are always effective. She doesn't care whether they are violent or not. She only cares whether they can achieve the desired results. As long as they can achieve the desired results, then these methods are feasible for her."
Xue Xiaochen paused, as if remembering something, and said, "I'm so sorry that your father had such an accident."
Pei Qing was stunned by the sudden words, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although the other party expressed "deep regret", there was no trace of regret in her tone.
"It's okay... He can be considered to have died of old age."
Before, Pei Qing might have pretended to agree, but now when she heard such words again, her heart was calm.
None of this would have happened without her tacit approval.
The man was full of violent tendencies and even became addicted to gambling. He even schemed against his own mother for money.
For him, this level of death is a disguised form of "death".
She hasn't visited the old man since she returned to China. She doesn't know whether it's because she is too embarrassed to see him or for some other unspeakable reason.
Xue Xiaochen nodded and continued, "But I'm different. You know, the noble families in China care most about their reputation. No matter what happens behind the scenes, their reputation must not be ruined. So my tactics are much more subtle."
"What's more, the old man has lived for so many years, it's time for him to make his final contribution to the Kang Group."
Kang Lening hadn't been in the Kang family before, but he still had Kang family blood flowing through his veins. "Just tell me when you're going to take action. I don't have that much free time to listen to you making empty promises."
Hearing the anxious words, Xue Xiaochen just glanced at him calmly and said in a calm voice: "If you don't want to listen, then get out. You've been with Ah Ye for so long, and you still haven't learned the word 'quiet'? Do you want me to pack you up and send you back so that Ah Ye can teach you what 'quiet' means?"
Kang Lening: “…”
After hearing the name "Qiao Ye", he subconsciously shrank his shoulders.
Obviously, he had been hurt a lot by this guy Qiao Ye before.
"Next month is my mother's birthday. The old man will definitely call everyone back to celebrate her birthday."
"You want to announce this officially on your mother's birthday?" Pei Qing guessed.
"No. I won't disturb my mother's birthday. But that's the time to give them a shot. If the old man voluntarily gives me the company, then everything will be fine. If not, then what happens next is not up to me."
"Okay. So what do you need me to do?"
Pei Qing knew that these were not the main purposes of tonight, because until now, Xue Xiaochen had not told her purpose.
Everything I just said is just an appetizer.
"I need two contracts. One is about the foundation withdrawal contract in Country M, and the other is about the equity transfer contract. The foundation withdrawal contract is similar to the one I signed with Ah Ye at the time, and the equity transfer contract is the foundation contract for the Kang Corporation."
