Shao Yongkang didn’t even lift his head.
"No invitation letter."
"What do you mean?" Shen Shuwen furrowed her brows again.
"Haven’t you asked the Qin family for the invitation letter?"
Today, whether Shao Yongkang called Qin Haochen or went to the Qin Corporation in person, he couldn’t get in touch with Qin Haochen.
He didn’t even have the chance to mention the invitation letter.
His expression grew gloomy, and with a rustling sound, he opened a page of documents, sounding displeased.
"Qin Haochen deliberately avoids contacting me. I personally approached He Yan, but he made excuses and hung up on me before I could mention the invitation letter."
A mere CEO’s assistant dared to hang up on him.
Shao Yongkang’s expression became even more unpleasant when he mentioned this.
"Assistant?" Shen Shuwen sneered.
"The Qin family really doesn’t regard the Shao family highly!"
Now, even an assistant dares to disrespect Qin Haochen of the Shao Corporation!
Shao Yongkang had already lowered his face to find Qin Haochen and Qin Haochen’s assistant had also been searched, but they received no response.
He glanced at Shen Shuwen and said, "You tell Xinxin, we won’t go."
"Xinxin wants to go so badly, how can I bear to say such words to her?"
Shen Shuwen refused to be the bad person in front of her daughter.
"If you don’t want to go, then don’t. It’s your promise Xinxin."
"You..."
Shao Yongkang furrowed his brows in anger.
"If it weren’t for you causing trouble with the Qin family, would they treat me like this?"
As a couple, they should advance and retreat together.
There was no way out for him.
"Shao Yongkang! So, in your heart, you’ve always blamed me, is that it?" Shen Shuwen felt like her tail had been stepped on.
She stood up, glaring at him angrily.
"Is it my fault? It’s the Qin family who’s been aggressive!"
"That’s enough, don’t cause a scene in my office."
Shao Yongkang forcefully closed the documents.
"The Qin family won’t give us the invitation letter. Tonight, I will convince Xinxin not to attend the banquet."
"How can that be!"
Shen Shuwen was looking forward to overpowering other prestigious ladies at the banquet!
Shao Yongkang ignored her words and left the office in big strides.
"Shao Yongkang!"
Shen Shuwen stomped her foot in anger when she saw him leave, but she also knew she couldn’t cause a scene in the company, or else she would lose face.
She stomped her foot in frustration, holding back her anger.
She took out her phone and made a call.
If Shao Yongkang couldn’t get it, then she would find a way herself!
Indeed, men were unreliable creatures!

Bay Villa.
Qin Haochen returned home and had lunch with Ann.
After she fell asleep for her afternoon nap, he went to Qin Corporation to continue his work.
Qin Sui’an had been lying in her comfortable bed, sleeping for over half an hour.
Her eyelids twitched, and she heard a familiar voice beside her.
"Ann, are you awake? Don’t you want to sleep a little longer?"
The old man floated in the air, looking at her with loving eyes.
"Old man!" Qin Sui’an’s little hand emerged from the blanket as she stretched lazily.
"Ann isn’t sleepy anymore!"
After stretching, she climbed out of bed and picked up the pink phone on the bedside table.
Qin Sui’an smiled, her fingers tapping the screen of the phone earnestly.
Finally, a video call window popped up on the screen.
She held the phone with both hands, sitting obediently on the bed, waiting.
Seeing this scene, the old man wasn’t surprised anymore.
He shook his head and chuckled, "Your dad is really clever, coming up with such a good idea." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
This way, Ann could sleep peacefully and wake up to see her dad.
"Yes! Daddy is very clever!"
Qin Sui’an vigorously nodded her little head, fully agreeing with the old man’s words.
Meanwhile, at the top-floor conference hall of Qin Corporation, an internal executive meeting was being held.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was serious and tense.
Apart from Qin Haochen, who had no expression on his face, everyone else was sweating profusely, afraid to make a sound.
He Yan carefully presented the reports from various departments to Qin Haochen, as if treading on thin ice.
Suddenly, a cheerful and sweet voice of a little girl came from the main seat, saying, "Daddy, please answer the phone quickly! Daddy, please answer the phone!"
It was the voice of Qin Sui’an.
Qin Haochen deliberately recorded this sentence to be the exclusive ringtone for his little princess.
Everyone seemed to have heard something they shouldn’t have, and they stared in shock and astonishment at the person in the main seat.
As the center of attention, Qin Haochen’s serious expression softened in an instant.
He quickly took out his phone and without any delay, pressed the answer button.
With a beep, the screen flickered, and Qin Haochen’s phone displayed the adorable face of his little princess, Qin Sui’an.
His lips immediately curved upwards, his voice gentle as water, "Ann."
Qin Sui’an’s round eyes lit up upon seeing her daddy.
Holding the phone, she happily exclaimed, "Daddy, Ann woke up from her nap!"
Qin Haochen smiled and asked, "Did Ann kick off her blanket while sleeping?" "No, Daddy," Qin Sui’an blinked her innocent eyes, curiously looking at the background behind her daddy.
She asked in confusion, "Daddy, aren’t you busy in the office?"
"Well, I’m not in the office, I’m having a meeting in the conference hall," Qin Haochen turned the phone camera around, showing the surroundings to his little princess.
"Wow, so many uncles and aunties!"
Qin Sui’an exclaimed in her sweet voice.
Qin Haochen glanced at the people present.
As if a switch had been pressed, they all exclaimed in unison, "Good afternoon, Chairman Qin!"
They hadn’t forgotten that this little princess, who was currently video chatting with Qin Haochen, was their Chairman Qin.
Qin Sui’an’s eyes curved, and her sweet voice obediently responded, "Good afternoon, uncles and aunties."
The sound of her tender and adorable voice made their lips involuntarily curl up.
Qin Haochen caught sight of their reaction, as if afraid that his little treasure would be taken away by someone.
He immediately turned the camera back to himself, focusing only on himself.
"Ann, are you hungry?" Qin Haochen asked softly, "Your Third Brother should be outside the room."
"I’m a little hungry," Qin Sui’an pursed her small lips, "Daddy, continue with your meeting. Ann will go find Third Brother."
"All right, go ahead," Qin Haochen reluctantly said, his gaze filled with affection.
"Bye-bye, Daddy. See you tonight," Qin Sui’an pouted her small mouth and kissed the phone screen, saying, "Mua!"
Qin Haochen burst into laughter instantly, not caring about the curious and probing gazes around him.
He kissed her through the phone, "Ann, see you tonight."
Inside the conference hall, amidst the solemn atmosphere, a hint of strange warmth suddenly emerged.
After the video call ended, Qin Haochen’s lips still carried a faint smile.
He seemed like a completely different person, and his voice had become much gentler, "Let the meeting continue."
He Yan immediately got into the zone and cleared his throat seriously, "Manager Li, please begin reporting on your department’s performance this month."
