Chapter 69 It’s Not What You Think
How crucial is the R&D department to a tech-based company? With so many problems cropping up, a cleanup is urgently needed.
Chi Yuan had doubts about the department manager before, but he did a good job on the project and there was nothing obviously suspicious about him, so she put it aside for the time being.
"Wish, calm down."
Chi's father reiterated these two words: "Online public opinion cannot be trusted completely. If there are rumors, investigate them, but never judge your own people based on unverified statements."
"You've been too nervous lately. Don't push yourself too hard." Just looking at the text, Father Chi seemed very calm.
How many ups and downs has Chi Group experienced since its establishment? What kind of situation has my father not seen?
She is still too young.
The news continued to come in, and by the time Chi Yuan calmed down, his father had already said a lot.
"Don't worry about what's going on in the company. Dad is just old, not suffering from Alzheimer's. I know everything that's going on in the company, and your mom is keeping an eye on it for me."
"Most companies have the same problems you mentioned. You don't need to blame yourself for them, but Qi Wang is right about one thing."
"No one is afraid of you, so you have to find a way to convince your subordinates."
…
Chi Yuan calmed down completely.
She read the message from her father over and over again, her eyes showing determination.
"Father, I won't let you down again."
Why is it “again”?
She had already made a mistake four years ago.
But my father said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You will always be the pride of your mother and me."
In a blink of an eye, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Qi Wang had not returned yet, and there was no reply to the message he sent.
Chi Yuan prepared some midnight snacks, packed up briefly and prepared to go out.
But the sound of a car engine was heard outside the villa.
Are you back?
Chi Yuan stood at the door and hesitated for a while, then pulled down the door handle.
The yellow street light at the villa gate was on, emitting a faint light.
The man got out of the black Lexus, and Chi Yuan was just about to take a step forward.
But the passenger door was also opened.
A woman got off the bus.
Ye Ranran.
She turned around and her eyes happened to look towards the door.
Chi Yuan quickly retreated back into the house, slammed the door subconsciously, and the lunch box fell to the ground.
The sound of the insulation box colliding with the tiles echoed in the living room, causing the housekeeper to exclaim.
"Ma'am! Are you okay?"
Chi Yuan lowered his head and the insulated box was firmly on the ground without being knocked over.
But she didn't want to pick it up again.
"Master is back. Heat these up and prepare them for Miss Ye."
It’s not that he didn’t believe Qi Wang’s attitude towards Ye Ranran, but he still brought her back.
Without even telling her in advance.
It would be a lie to say I'm not angry.
Chi Yuan suddenly remembered what happened when he went to see Qi Wang on the day he received the divorce agreement.
There are red marks on Ye Ranran's neck.
At that time, she took it for granted that the two of them were together. Later, after Qi Wang explained it many times, she believed it. The red marks on his neck could be pinched out with her fingers.
Ye Ranran...
Chi Yuan suddenly stopped when he reached the stairs.
Is she hiding?
She is the mistress of this house, and she is the one who least needs to hide.
"I'm sorry, Brother Awang, for causing you trouble. I will find a house as soon as possible and won't disturb you and Sister Chi."
Chi Yuan turned around and saw Ye Ranran following the man in. She kept her head down, seeming to be extremely apologetic.
If I hadn't seen how scheming she was, I would have been unable to stop my heart from softening just by listening to the soft tone.
Being able to control a man is also a skill.
But Chi Yuan disdains to use such means to keep a man.
"I have already arranged to find a house, and there will be results soon."
Qi Wang walked in front of her without looking back at her, with an indifferent expression.
It was not until he saw Chi Yuan that his expression softened slightly.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"
He walked towards the woman. Chi Yuan came back to his senses, turned around completely, and raised his eyes.
"I just finished talking to my dad, and I didn't wait for you." She raised her chin: "Why did you bring her back? Didn't I tell you? I don't like her."
When saying the second half of the sentence, Chi Yuan deliberately raised his voice: "Even if you brought her back for the sake of our growing relationship, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
She said it in front of Ye Ranran on purpose.
She and Qi Wang had said similar things privately many times, so it didn't matter if she said it in front of Ye Ranran.
Qi Wang's expression remained unchanged, and he naturally held her hand: "I encountered some unexpected problems, and it's not that I didn't mean to tell you. Let's go back first."
He ordered the housekeeper: "Clean up a guest room."
Qi Wang didn't even glance at the woman downstairs until the two of them disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Chi Yuan was naturally happy, but also a little surprised.
It seemed like a month ago he was more partial to Ye Ranran, but now...
But he finally brought the person home.
After returning to the bedroom, Chi Yuan tried to pull her wrist free, but was pulled into the man's arms instead.
"Angry?"
Their cheeks touched, and Chi Yuan couldn't help but shiver.
"Your face... is so cold."
The man's hands were also cold.
The temperature tonight is not low. In Chi Yuan's impression, Qi Wang's body is always hot.
If it suddenly becomes cold, there must be something wrong.
"Go take a shower first, don't catch a cold."
Chi Yuan turned around and held his face with both hands: "After washing, I still have something to ask you."
She wanted to ask, but felt as if she didn't need to.
The house Ye Ranran rented was in a community near Paradise on Earth. Since it was a rented house, it was normal for accidents to happen.
"The appliances in her house caught fire, so I went over temporarily to help deal with some of the problems. But the house is definitely uninhabitable, so I had to bring her over. I won't let her stay here for too long."
on fire?
If you rent a house, it is normal for appliances to age and cause accidents.
There are many ways to accommodate Ye Ranran. One can let her stay in a hotel, which Qi Wang can afford.
But why did he still bring the person back to Guibai Road...I have to ask Ye Ranran.
"Okay, I understand. Go take a shower."
After Qi Wang took his pajamas into the bathroom, she walked straight out of the bedroom with a cold light in her eyes.
Ye Ranran's sweet and soft voice came from the living room.
"I didn't expect this kind of problem to happen in a rental house. It's an upscale residential complex, and yet a fire broke out."
"I don't know if finding a new house will be smooth sailing, and I don't want to cause any trouble for Ah Wang. He's already helped me a lot."
It's an attitude of caring for others.
Chi Yuan went downstairs and snorted softly, "Ms. Ye, if you really care about Qi Wang, you should stay in a hotel tonight. You knew Qi Wang was married but still moved in with him. People who didn't know would think you were his mistress."
Ye Ranran turned around and stood up hurriedly, looking bewildered: "Miss Chi, you misunderstood... I used to live closer to here, so Ah Wang brought me back. It's not what you think."
