Chapter 100: Competition
Even if she didn't want to doubt it, what else could she think after being rejected again and again?
Qi Wang's brows seemed to be furrowed even tighter.
In fact, his reason is very simple, but why can't he put it into words?
Or... is it that... deep down he actually longs for her to be with him?
It’s not that he doesn’t understand her feelings, it’s more like he’s struggling with himself.
Finally, he compromised with her.
"As you say."
The moment he agreed, Qi Wang felt relieved.
Why do you feel relaxed?
He obviously wanted her to shine in her own field rather than revolve around him.
And when Chi Yuan got his permission, he didn't seem as happy as expected.
The man's reaction was so indifferent, as if she had forced him to agree.
The more Chi Yuan thought about it, the more annoyed he felt.
Maybe she shouldn't have been so insistent...
The two of them went to the company with their own thoughts.
Thinking back to the last time I came here in broad daylight, my mood was completely different from now.
After Qi Wang took her back to the office, he left with a stack of documents.
"I'm going to a meeting downstairs. If you need to work, you can use my computer directly."
Chi Yuan nodded, not wanting to waste his time.
There is only Qi Wang's seat in the office now, and Ye Ranran's original workstation should be in the assistant's office.
She just took a quick look around the president's office, occasionally recalling some not-so-pleasant past events, but now, she just smiled and let it go.
Chi Yuan finally sat directly at Qi Wang's workstation.
She asked about the current work situation of He Yuanshan's department. Everything was going well, so she could relax a little.
There were footsteps in the corridor, getting closer and closer, then there was a knock on the door and a woman came in.
The person on the other side was quite surprised to see Chi Yuan.
"You are...Mr. Qi's wife?"
She slowly walked forward and placed the folder on the side of the table: "Boss Qi asked me to submit the screened resume before, so I put it here."
Chi Yuan nodded lightly, but felt that the man's eyes looking at the self-taught exam were a little strange.
"Anything else?"
He handed in the documents but didn't leave... He always looked at me as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"If you have any questions, just tell me and I'll pass them on to President Qi."
The woman waved her hand quickly: "No, I have a question for you, I wonder if it's convenient for you."
"Me?" Chi Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you want to ask?"
It's normal that no one in the company is familiar with me. Who knows what Ye Ranran did when she was an assistant?
I guess everyone in the company is almost treating her as Mrs. Qi.
After hesitating for a while, the woman finally spoke: "Are you and Mr. Qi just a couple in name only?"
"?"
Chi Yuan was stunned on the spot.
It’s not like the two of them haven’t shown affection online before, and Ye Ranran has also resigned. How could his employees still ask such questions?
"Sorry, sorry, I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious... I see you two weren't close before, and President Qi even favored Ye Ranran over you... Plus with the latest rumors, I'm really curious..."
"Stop." Chi Yuan's right eyelid suddenly twitched twice: "Did someone ask you to find out some gossip about us?"
The woman's cheeks suddenly turned red, as if her thoughts had been exposed.
Chi Yuan remained calm and said, "You ask too many questions. It doesn't seem like they are just yours."
"But before I answer your question, I want to ask you, have you ever asked Mr. Qi a similar question?"
The woman hurriedly shook her head: "How dare we? President Qi hasn't smiled all day, and he fired Assistant Ye a few days ago. Now that everyone who wins his favor has been fired, we dare not do anything wrong." Are these two things related?
Chi Yuan just felt uncomfortable.
"Don't you know why Ye Ranran was fired?"
Just based on the things Ye Ranran did that constantly violated Qi Wang's bottom line, isn't it normal for her to be fired?
"She's actually quite capable, and with President Qi protecting her, she shouldn't have been fired. So when she submitted her resignation form, we were all quite shocked."
The woman's doubts didn't seem fake, but Chi Yuan felt even more speechless.
"You mean, Ye Ranran was fired because Qi Wang's demands were too demanding? Too strict?"
Didn’t this person think about the outrageous things Ye Ranran did?
The woman actually nodded.
"That's what we thought at first, because President Qi seemed to value Assistant Ye more than your wife. Rumor has it that your relationship with President Qi isn't good, and you're just a couple in name only..."
Well, Qi Wang not only fooled himself, but even his employees believed his "sincerity" towards Ye Ranran.
Only he himself didn't think so and was unaware of it!
Why do I feel even angrier just thinking about it?
"What about you now? Do you still think so?" Chi Yuan's face was cold, and a faint sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Your boss Qi and I are just a couple in name only? What does he want from me?"
The woman swallowed subconsciously.
Judging from the tone of her voice...it seems like she's made a mistake.
"Isn't that what I'm asking you now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chi Yuan stand up and immediately changed her tone: "Sorry! We made a mistake! You are Mr. Qi's legitimate wife..."
"Stop talking."
According to their logic, I am afraid that I will also become a senior official who uses power to exert pressure.
"I'll tell you straight, Ye Ranran resigned because she had improper thoughts about my husband and refused to change despite repeated warnings. That's why Qi Wang fired her. It's not as strict as you think."
"Qi Wang and I have a very good relationship. There were indeed some misunderstandings before, and it was Ye Ranran who caused it. Didn't you notice her white lotus-like fragrance?"
The woman opened her mouth wide, still looking incredulous.
"If you still don't believe me, I'll let Qi Wang explain it to you personally."
She had nothing to say.
Qi Wang has a mouth, so can’t he explain a few more words?
"I see! That's good!" The woman seemed relieved. "Everyone was already disgusted with Ye Ranran using backdoors. Since her dismissal was handled impartially, we can rest assured. We don't have to worry about making mistakes anymore!"
“…”
Perhaps Qi Wang needs to explain further.
"Is there anything else you want to ask? Just ask them all at once. Mr. Qi may not be willing to tell you."
Chi Yuan thought about clearing up all the misunderstandings now.
The woman shook her head: "No! We are overthinking it. The fact that Mr. Qi brought you to the company today is proof that you two are in love!"
The office is finally quiet.
After Chi Yuan sat down, he reviewed the conversation and found it more and more interesting the more he thought about it.
What is going on?
Maybe she should try to make Qi Wang more honest.
Does he know how he is perceived by his employees?
Qi Wang's meeting was exceptionally long. It was already past lunch break, but it hadn't ended yet.
Chi Yuan also received news from He Yuanshan, asking her to return to the company immediately.
