Chapter 31 The visit is very...
The tone was very calm, but Manager Ren, who was well versed in the ways of the world, could not help but tremble when he looked into her eyes.
It is a very graceful demeanor.
It seems that no matter what happens, he will not back down, his eyes are firm, and he cannot be crushed by wind and rain, and his insight is astonishing.
Manager Ren shrank his neck, cold sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Oh, my dear cousin, what are you waiting for? This is the order from Uncle himself. Who told you to push the Third Master out to die in his place? You deserve it."
Xia Yiqing pretended not to feel the sarcasm in the voice.
She calculated that the time was when she was kidnapped and Qi Hanmu got into trouble.
But why on earth was her nominal father so sure that he wouldn't be able to get the Qi family's investment?
Why was Xia Lie able to recover Qi's investment?
If the person opposite is Qi Hanmu, it seems not appropriate.
Xia Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief. The frail yet able-bodied man in front of her had his brows tightly closed, as if he was enduring immense pain.
Miss him.
The smell of disinfectant began to spread slightly again, lingering at the tip of her nose.
When she took over the affairs of the Xia family after her marriage, she was still worried that Qi Hanmu would not be willing, so she did things secretly.
Seeing him coming, she turned off the computer reflexively.
Then he picked up the book and turned the page as if nothing had happened.
"The book is upside down." A slender and bony finger touched the page.
Xia Yiqing blushed and turned the book over, only to find that the text was now upside down. She looked at Qi Hanmu with a questioning look in her eyes.
Not too much.
The reason is simple. When the Third Master looks at people solemnly, his brows are pressed down, his eyes are slightly narrowed, and his pupils are so dark that they remind people of the endless night.
Too scary.
"What are you afraid of?" He seemed to be in a good mood and pinched her small, white earlobe.
"Want to learn about company management? I'll teach you."
In college, Xia Yiqing originally wanted to study finance or management, but advanced mathematics was a big challenge, so she had to settle for the second best and learn a foreign language.
Although it turns out that foreign languages are not very useful.
"real?"
Qi Hanmu's Adam's apple rolled, and the eyes he looked at her with were particularly sincere, like a child's.
Later on, he indeed taught me step by step without overstepping the boundaries.
She asked, and he answered.
He would only tell her when her mistake was obvious or outrageous.
"I feel passive when you do this." Xia Yiqing muttered softly while revising the plan.
She revised this plan five times based on the previous version, looked it over and over again, and felt it was okay.
Unexpectedly, when Qi Hanmu glanced over, he found a bunch of problems.
He raised his hand in her direction.
Xia Yiqing's heart ached, thinking that he was going to vent his anger like her father.
However, she didn't expect that the big palm would just fall on her head with a slight coolness and caress it.
"I'm not always here," the man said in a hoarse voice.
"You've done quite well. Don't be too hard on yourself. Even without my changes, your proposal will still be approved."
Xia Yiqing's cheeks felt inexplicably hot.
The man's palm felt like a snowflake, a little cold, but she was like a traveler whose sense of touch was numbed in winter, not feeling the cold. When she saw the snowflake, she felt only joy.
"There are actually two reasons. The first is that the chairman will also assess the capabilities and workload of each vice president this quarter."
Xia Yiqing came back to her senses and saw Manager Ren looking at her with an apologetic look on his face.
"At the beginning of this quarter, the chairman discussed your work with me and finally said that he could consider reducing the number of vice presidents.
"The second one is my fault. I was too busy and forgot to tell you.
"But generally speaking, removing one vice president is a difficult decision to make.
"It was my fault for not telling you at the beginning of this quarter. However, after I learned the decision, I no longer let you take charge of the CEO-level work. I hope you can understand."
"Did you hear that?" Cousin Xia Lie's smile almost burned her eyes.
Xiao An stood in front of Xia Yiqing, her voice almost crying, "You are too bullying!"
Xia Yiqing gently pushed her hand away and gave her a calming look.
"I understand. Please give me a chance to go in and pack my things out."
The dispute between the two parties is not silent.
The noises around were as noisy as the tide, coming in waves.
Without looking, Xia Yiqing knew that it was the company staff passing by who were pointing and talking.
She glanced at them indifferently. Some of them were talking, some were looking at their computers, and some were fetching water. They pretended to be fine, but they could not hide the guilt on their faces.
With a "clang" sound, something was pulled out from the corner and appeared in Xia Yiqing's sight.
"Things," Xia Lie tapped the storage box on the ground with his chin, a smile on his face.
"It's all here, a pile of junk, I don't know what's worth collecting."
Scattered among them were little rabbits given by my mother, handmade greeting cards, reply letters that had not been sent out in time, and candies, biscuits and other things given by children from the welfare home.
Xia Yiqing slowly leaned over and prepared to pick him up.
These may mean nothing to others.
But it was her comfort when she was confused and helpless, like a guiding light, giving her the courage to move forward.
Seeing that Xia Yiqing's hand was about to touch the storage box, Xia Lie kicked it over and laughed, "Xia Yiqing, I never thought that you would have this day.
"Just because you married the Third Master, you think you are superior? Now the Third Master's life and death is unknown, and it's all for you.
"I think the newly-emerged Xiao Qi will never let you go."
Xia Yiqing paused slightly, adjusted her professional skirt, and straightened the storage box.
Things were put away one by one again, and her thoughts wandered for a moment. Could it be that Xia Lie was asking for help this time from Mr. Qi, Qi Hanying?
Thinking about the wary look in the young man's eyes, Xia Yiqing felt more and more that it was possible.
Maybe she is being targeted now, and it is also Qi Hanying's secret instructions. It is unknown.
The eyes of the people around me were silent, but they were like sharp knives, looking over here without any concealment.
Xia Yiqing lowered her head. Her professional attire made her look not like she was running away. Her steps were calm and composed, and she seemed not to be affected at all.
Xiao An was pulled to the side by her, his lips moved several times, and tears were in the corners of his eyes.
"Hey," the steward's voice sounded from behind with a hint of sarcasm.
"Vice President Xia, no, it's Manager Xia. Your office is here."
Xia Yiqing looked in the direction her finger pointed.
I saw a small compartment in the far corner. The door was half open, but no light came through.
With the help of outside light, people with good eyesight can see that the curtains inside are drawn tightly and there are a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in a mess.
Things like broken tables and chairs, used but uncleaned carpets, were crowded together in a large area, making it look like there was no room for breathing.
After putting all these miscellaneous items in the already cramped room, there was only a small place left to stay.
Perhaps Manager Ren felt that he had Xia Lie's support, so he started talking more.
"I'm sorry, Manager Xia, but we don't have many private offices in the company. If you're not used to it, you can give it up and stay in the same room with others."
The discussion among the crowd was unclear and intermittent, with occasional humming and laughter.
Their eyes flickered over Xia Yiqing vaguely, not necessarily with malicious intent. They were like damp moss on a rainy day, growing in the corners, unable to withstand the light. It was slippery when stepped on, and one could easily fall.
Xia Yiqing clenched her fist and then unclenched it.
Try not to care about rumors. This was what Qi Hanmu taught her.
Xia Yiqing and Xiao An walked to the door and looked up. The doorplate next to them was covered with rust, which gave the impression that it was unattended.
Three characters could barely be seen in the mottled gray shadows.
"Utility room".
This door is quite tall and even has imitation dragon carvings on it.
It is not difficult to see that when this door was renovated, the company was in a state of pretentiousness. In order to make friends with high-end customers and leave a good impression, they spared no expense and put a lot of thought into this place.
Unfortunately, it is just a facade.
"Squeak--" Xiao An originally tried to push but failed, and was still unbelievable. His little face turned red, and his eyebrows and eyes showed that he had tried hard.
Until Xia Yiqing couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to help.
The strength of two people is indeed greater than that of one person. The door, which was originally tightly closed, opened a little bit.
Dust spread out all over the sky, like a sandstorm.
“Ahem…”
Xia Yiqing was choked and coughed continuously, her vision blurred, perhaps due to physiological tears.
There was no lock on the door, and the weight of the door was the only thing that kept people out.
She had no doubt that if there hadn't been a crack in advance, the door would not have been opened so easily.
Xiao An took the mask while complaining, "How can the chairman be so partial? It's obviously President Xia..."
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Xiao An shrank his neck and glanced at Xia Yiqing cautiously, and found that the other person's eyebrows curved slightly.
Xia Yiqing even had the leisure to joke with her.
"Why don't you say anything? Why are you looking at me like that? I'm scary. Do you want to eat you?"
Xiao An shook his head desperately, his face turning red for no apparent reason.
Xia Yiqing's smiling eyes were like rare gems in the world. As long as a beam of light shone on them, they would bloom with brilliant brilliance.
Dazzling, bright, eye-catching, yet extremely gentle and not aggressive.
Xiao An couldn't help but take another look, her face flushed even more, and she quickly tried to change the subject, "Then Manager Xia, what should we do?"
"Let's do it." Xia Yiqing said without any hesitation.
Qi Hanmu claimed to the public that she was still seriously ill and in a coma. As a party involved in the kidnapping case, she was also a vested interest.
What else is there to complain about.
Compared to him who was unconsciously breathing oxygen in the ward, she was already doing well.
Not wanting to cause trouble for Qi Hanmu, Xia Yiqing could only persuade Ping Jing to accept it.
But when she saw the red circles under her eyes in the mirror, she couldn't help but sigh.
Could it be that Qi Hanmu has made her spoiled and she can't stand any hardship?
The work was progressing smoothly. The employees under her did not treat Xia Yiqing badly because of her demotion. Instead, they comforted her.
Although it was a rare opportunity, Xia Yiqing was distracted frequently. When she came to her senses, she could only smile and nod, and change the subject.
When she asked about the smell of disinfectant again, Xia Yiqing realized that she had come to the hospital.
The house where Qi Hanmu is.
The private hospital, which was originally under martial law, quickly let Xia Yiqing in after recognizing her face.
Luo Miao came down directly and led Xia Yiqing up, his eyes and brows showing unconcealable joy.
"Madam, the Third Master has returned to the general ward and can be visited at any time."
So fast?
Xia Yiqing nodded, her fingertips trembling a little, and her stomach also felt a little emotional pain.
Outside the ward, Luo Miao stopped pushing the door and looked at Xia Yiqing with a thief-like expression, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"What's up?"
