Just then, the breakfast that Tian Heng had sent arrived. Qin Zifu placed it on the table, pushed the breakfast that the woman had placed on the table aside as if it were trash, then took out the food and started eating it by herself, ignoring everyone else.
She didn't show any reaction to Qi Jingchen's seemingly flattering and supportive words.
The woman was even more confused when she saw this. Didn't he even ask President Qi about the meal before eating? And just because a woman said one sentence, he was going to fire her?
Her face at that moment was as vibrant as a palette of colors.
However, Qin Zifu had no time to pay attention to her. She saw that the meals Tian Heng brought over were quite good, including Chinese and Western dishes, and after tasting them, she found them to be quite tasty.
Then he took another sip of coffee and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"bitter"
Qi Jingchen glanced at it and then took another cup from the bag.
"Drink this."
Qi Jingchen held it to her lips, and she lowered her head, took a sip, and nodded.
"Mmm, this tastes good."
"Yeah?"
Qi Jingchen took a sip, then a sip of the previous drink. This one had milk and sugar, while the other was an Americano. Clearly, the Americano was ordered for Qi Jingchen.
The two continued eating, oblivious to the awkwardness of the woman standing there. She wanted to try again, not wanting to leave, but she couldn't find a way to speak, so she just stood there.
"Want some more?"
"I'm not eating anymore, I'm full. This and this are okay, that one's so-so."
Qin Zifu pointed out several delicious dishes.
"good"
Qi Jingchen began eating the breakfast she had already eaten.
After finishing her meal, Qin Zifu looked at her phone, while Qi Jingchen continued eating; no one paid any attention to the woman.
"President Qi..."
"Get out and go process your resignation."
"President Qi, please give me another chance. I will never do this again."
It seems she was wrong.
I will not take back what I have said.
When Gu Di'an and Ling Zhiyi entered the ward, they saw a beautiful woman looking flustered, another woman calmly playing on her phone, seemingly detached from the situation, and a refined and aloof man elegantly eating.
"Lisa, what's wrong?"
"President Ling, please help me. I need to work at Qi's Group. Please don't fire me."
"What's going on? You two are eating this whole table of food? We've just wasted our money!"
"Save it for lunch."
"Has Fufu finished eating?"
"Yes, I'm done eating."
What happened between you two?
No one spoke…
"Alright, you can go out now."
Ling Zhiyi realized that he had clearly offended the princess. What was the point of pleading with Qi Jingchen? The key question was, what had he done? He had no idea. Was it something he was hiding?
Lisa apologized again and left nervously.
Qin Zifu really didn't intend to let this person go. Qi Jingchen's proposal and engagement banquet were so grand that the Qi Group's branch couldn't possibly be unaware of it. After all, on the day of the proposal, everyone in the group received a red envelope.
So this woman deliberately provoked her, intentionally telling Qin Zifu that she had been taking care of Qi Jingchen all day yesterday and even calling her "Miss"?
People at Qi's headquarters now call her Miss Qin, and some even call her the president's wife.
She's just a branch office secretary, acting all high and mighty. Whose influence does she rely on? Where does her confidence come from?
So even though she knew that she could keep her job if she just loosened her grip and said a few words to Qi Jingchen, she just didn't say it.
"Everything's taken care of? You two have so much free time?"
"Didn't you see the news? This guy's making a huge fuss, he's more seriously injured than you, and there's no evidence whatsoever."
Qin Zifu was not interested and did not listen to their conversation.
"Fufu, your aunt and uncle are here."
"Um?"
Qin Zifu's expression instantly brightened.
Then I took out my phone and started sending messages.
"My aunt's husband has a job here, and he's somewhat connected to the person who ambushed Jing Chen."
This statement drew the attention of everyone in the room.
Tell me in detail.
"My aunt's husband and his family have a grudge against this company's owner. They've been trying to suppress the company for the past few months, hoping to take it over. However, since the two groups were originally evenly matched, it's just that this group has narrowed its path after changing its leader in recent years, damaging many connections, which is why it's at a disadvantage."
"No wonder they'd go to such lengths to secure a contract."
"So what? Shall we add fuel to the fire?"
"Then we'll have to meet and discuss it. It's not that my uncle can't do it, it's just that with us involved, it'll be much easier."
"Would you like to meet him?"
Gu Di'an asked Qi Jingchen for his opinion.
"See"
"The key question is, who is your aunt's husband? I've never heard of either of you having an aunt. Is it the Jin family or the Qin family? Whose aunt is it between you two?"
"They're considered part of the Qin family, but not by blood."
The aunt they were referring to was a childhood friend from the military compound of Qin Qingwan's generation. She was more than ten years younger than Qin Qingwan and had grown up playing with her, much like the bond Song Yugui had with Qin Zifu and Gu Dining.
"So, which family does my aunt's husband belong to? I've never heard you mention him before."
Ling Zhiyi surveyed the prominent figures in Beijing. Anyone capable of acquiring this established conglomerate must be at least on par with their own strength; there was no other company in Beijing capable of doing so.
The Huo Family of Hong Kong
"Oh, that makes sense then. I was wondering who had such a big appetite."
Ling Zhiyi understood; that was indeed possible.
"So, Zhiyi, you can meet your second wife. Didn't she use her wife's family to get involved with Old Master Huo's mistress? Is she taking advantage of your lack of connections in Hong Kong to compete with you for projects there?"
"Of course I'd like to meet them, but I don't know if they'll be willing to help."
Gu Di'an assessed the situation and concluded that Ling Zhiyi's cooperation with the Huo family would also benefit the Huo family, so they might agree. Besides, there was a precious asset involved.
"It's basically settled with Qiu Fufu."
While listening to them discuss business, Qin Zifu was suddenly questioned. How did the conversation end up talking about her?
"What? I didn't hear that?"
I was so busy messaging my aunt
Ling Zhiyi repeated it to her again.
"Oh, I don't know anything about your business. If you need my help, I'll put in a word, but I don't know if it will be of any use."
"Okay, let's meet first. I'll give you a gift if it works out."
"A more expensive kind of gift?"
"Sure, no problem."
"All right"
Qin Zifu was just joking. She's not interested in gifts or luxury items anymore because she's gotten used to being showered with gifts.
Originally it was Jin Zhu, Gu Di'an, and Bai Jin, and now Qi Jingchen and Yan Li have been added. She feels that she has too many things.
"I'll arrange a meeting soon. One is about helping me take over this company, and the other is about Zhiyi. If there's an opportunity, we could collaborate."
"good"
"So you just abandoned Zhou Yixing?"
"I can't leave him behind. We'll make money together, brothers. My Hong Kong-based company already had a project with him, but he's been busy chasing his wife lately. Now he's in Yuncheng. Don't worry, even though he's not here, he'll still make a good profit."
"Yes, he's also involved in this project of mine."
Qi Jingchen also answered this question.
"Hey, so this guy's a hands-off manager now?"
