After sending the text message, Qi Shen did not turn off his phone. He stared at the screen for a while with a deep gaze before connecting to the internal line.
In the assistant area opposite the president's office, Assistant Chen had just sat down and was drinking water to calm his nerves.
Before he could even swallow a glass of water, the private internal phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Cough cough..." He choked in fright, water dripping down his chin onto his clothes. He put down the cup and frantically grabbed a tissue to wipe his suit jacket while answering the phone.
"Come to my office."
The man seemed to have regained his composure, his voice indifferent, and hung up the phone before Assistant Chen could reply.
Assistant Chen sighed as he looked at the water stains on his clothes. He must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, otherwise how could he have run into the gentle and refined President Qi, who was so angry?
The odds are comparable to winning the lottery.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, a young assistant couldn't help but tease, "Assistant Chen, what did you do wrong? Did you sell company secrets? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so scared by the president's call, would you?"
"Go away, get out of here." Assistant Chen didn't dare to delay any longer and stood up. "I think you think you don't have enough work. I'll arrange more for you later."
They still have the nerve to joke with him? They didn't see how President Qi looked just now. It was no less creepy than Sadako crawling on his head in the middle of the night, face to face, eye to eye.
The talkative assistant's face fell. Watching Assistant Chen's departing figure, she slapped her mouth twice, cursing as she did so, "Serves you right for being so shameless! Serves you right for being so shameless! Serves you right for not being able to control your brain!"
In the president's office, Assistant Chen glanced at Qi Shen discreetly from where he had been standing before, then quickly lowered his eyes.
The man's sharply defined face was devoid of emotion, and his tie was slightly disheveled, as if it had been pulled in frustration, revealing a section of his neck and Adam's apple.
President Qi seemed calm now. Although it was impossible to tell what expression was on his face, at least he was no longer frightening.
"Assistant Chen."
"arrive!"
Qi Shen lit a cigarette, the smoke rising slowly around his fingertips. His dark eyes were calm on the surface, but deep inside they were like reefs on the coast, full of hidden dangers.
He took a slow drag of the cigarette from his thin lips and said in a calm voice, "I remember President Jiang contacted me?"
The reason why Assistant Chen was able to become the leader of the assistant area was naturally because of his outstanding professional skills. Qi Shen mentioned it, and he remembered it in just two seconds.
"Yes, Mr. Qi, President Jiang arranged it for this weekend, but you have private plans and have instructed that no other matters be arranged, so I'm postponing it for you."
"Ask him about his schedule tonight." Qi Shen flicked his cigarette ash, slightly raised his eyelids, stared at Assistant Chen, and said casually, "Tell him I'm free tonight."
Assistant Chen nodded, "Yes, Mr. Qi."
Upon receiving the order, Assistant Chen left his office and quickly contacted President Jiang, who readily agreed.
The upper class is only so big. Who doesn't know Qi Shen, the CEO of SQ? Putting aside his family background, he has become the new generation's god of wealth in Haicheng.
President Jiang's job is to cultivate relationships with these top-tier clients, so he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to meet them.
......
As night falls, security tightens at the entrance of the private club, with each guest's identity checked. High walls and thick tiles isolate the club from the outside world's hustle and bustle, while the courtyard is decorated in an antique style, surrounded by bamboo groves and trees, creating a tranquil and refreshing environment.
Two accompanying personnel stood guard at the entrance of the private room.
Inside the tastefully decorated private room, Qi Shen and President Jiang sat at a round table, a short distance apart.
"The Qi Group has grown bigger and bigger." President Jiang did not put on airs when facing Qi Shen, who was two cycles younger than him. Instead, he was very polite. "The last time I saw him was the year before last. Time really flies."
Assistant Chen poured drinks for the two of them.
Qi Shen smiled and said, "President Jiang, you're too kind."
President Jiang picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and asked, "Mayor Qi has been transferred back to Beijing?"
"Yes, the transfer order was just issued a few days ago."
President Jiang first flattered Qi Lian'an, then looked at the promising young Qi Shen beside him and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
Like father, like son.
Unlike his brat, whose father is no less capable, he has trouble even with his studies.
As the dinner was drawing to a close, President Jiang brought up the matter of collaborating with men.
Upon hearing this, Qi Shen lowered his eyes, swirled the wine glass in his hand, his knuckles were distinct, and the cold light fell on his face, highlighting the smooth lines of his profile.
"Cooperation with President Jiang is no problem." The man's voice was warm and unhurried, his demeanor gentlemanly and elegant. "There's another matter I have with President Jiang today, concerning your son."
"This?" President Jiang hesitated, worried that his son might have offended Qi Shen. He paused, "What did Yuze do to offend President Qi? I apologize on his behalf."
"It seems President Jiang is unaware," Qi Shen said with a slight smile. "It's not a big deal, it's about the school..."
After listening, President Jiang understood everything. He had heard that the Qi family had adopted a girl some years ago.
I heard that Qi Shen values her highly, but I didn't expect him to stand up for her over such a small matter.
Ignoring what President Jiang was thinking, Qi Shen said in a gentle voice, "Fang Zhi is still immature. The two children should keep their distance to avoid affecting their reputation."
Those who are deeply entrenched in officialdom and business are all shrewd and quick to understand; President Jiang immediately grasped the meaning behind Qi Shen's words.
He didn't mind his son being with or marrying the girl adopted by the Qi family, but Qi Shen's attitude clearly showed his disapproval.
"Yes, I understand." President Jiang nodded. "I'll give my son a talking-to later. He's not only not learning good things himself, but he's also leading others astray."
A dark glint flashed in Qi Shen's eyes. "Old fox." Then he chuckled softly, "Young people can understand."
The gathering was nearing its end, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before departing.
