Chapter 43 The Worst
In recent days, He Qian has been busy preparing for the implementation of the Chumishan project, which seems a bit tricky. He Shuxing has come to the company several times, and the tight pace has made the entire new project team panic.
Liang Tao was probably the one who suffered the most. Ever since Yang Xiao went on a business trip abroad, he seemed to have taken on the position of general assistant. He also had to keep up with the affairs of the R&D center, and now he had also established the Chumishan project team!
In the tea room, Song Li made him a cup of coffee. He had just come out of the president's office where he had a very intense meeting with He Qian and He Shuxing. He was taking the time to chat with her.
"Assistant Yang should be back soon. Just hold on a little longer. You're the only person Mr. He can trust. He values the Chumishan project so much, he'll definitely lead the early stages of the work himself."
"If I could change my sex, Mr. He would wish that I was male during the day and female at night!" Liang Tao joked to himself.
The idiom "forcing a woman of good character into prostitution" instantly popped up in Song Li's mind. "Does he want you to sleep with him?"
"I've already been able to accompany him for meals and drinks, but as for sleeping with him... He goes back to Fenghua Manor every night. I guess he has a beautiful woman hidden away in there. How can I possibly go in with him?"
Song Li pretended to smile in a relaxed manner. He had indeed not returned to Ciyun Pavilion to spend the night for several nights.
Liang Tao has seen that the workload has increased dramatically this week. Quan Qiliang is busy as hell, but Song Li is the only one who spends the whole day at his seat "looking up information". His job now is just to wear a beautiful dress and accompany the boss to events!
"I understand why you're uncomfortable. Yu Qingqing is so likable, why didn't he bring her along? Last night at the cocktail party organized by the Xue family, he was the only one without a female companion. He made the Second Master laugh! I guess there's going to be some fun tonight!"
Liang Tao only found out that Song Li had a fever when she suddenly fainted when she asked him for information two days ago.
Not to mention attending cocktail parties, in the past, whenever there was any disturbance in the company, Song Li was always the first to rush forward. Now that Chumishan is developing such a large project, at this critical moment of life and death, she has become the most leisurely person, and He Qian didn't even give her a single task.
It’s because she’s not feeling well!
Song Li doesn't think so. She only knows that He Qian will not be kind to her. He ignores her now because he really has no time. When he becomes "interested" one day, her suffering will follow.
"I've been looking up information on Tang Yi and Xue Ziqing these days, and I found out that Tang Yi's ex-wife has a very complicated network of relationships." Although He Qian didn't let her get involved in the new project, Song Li felt that she should at least collect some gossip that could be used at any time.
"Hey! Don't tell me I'm not good at checking people! How about you ask Yang Xiao to assist you remotely!" Liang Tao made a stop gesture, "I'd better go ask the HR department for a few more resumes to see if there are any candidates for the evaluator and manager positions I need!"
"Did Mr. He say anything about tonight's arrangements?" Song Li called him.
"I dare not make a sound!" Liang Tao put down the cup and was about to leave, then turned back and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Okay." Song Li responded lightly. This was the worst that could happen. Maybe the wound was too big, and it kept bleeding and getting inflamed, causing him to sweat in pain every late night.
Sometimes she thought that even if she didn't die at He Qian's hands, her spirit would have been torn to pieces by the pain.
"Let's go!"
"Um."
Song Li watched Liang Tao leave, and just as he returned to his workstation and sat down, Yu Qingqing appeared with a cup of milk tea in her hand.
Zeng Xinyue followed beside her, "Ms. Yu, please sit here for a while. Mr. He is still in the overseas video conference."
"Go get busy! Stop hanging around in front of me all the time!" Yu Qingqing was also annoyed with Zeng Xinyue. Every time she picked a fight with Song Li, she was the first to come over and interrupt. "Why, can't I chat with Secretary Song for a few minutes?"
Zeng Xinyue walked away embarrassedly. The boss’ women were so arrogant, one after another. They were all so cool!
Song Li didn't have the energy to talk to her and became annoyed when he saw her standing in front of the desk.
Yu Qingqing took a sip of milk tea and placed it on her desk. "That shouldn't be the case. Aren't you picking out a dress at this hour? Do you have enough time? You still have to put on makeup and style your hair!"
Tonight's charity gala is large and grand, and all the guests are big names from all walks of life. Yu Qingqing knew that He Qian must be on the invitation list, so she asked him yesterday if he could bring her along so that she could take this opportunity to win over some resources she wanted. Unexpectedly, He Qian rejected her outright!
Although he didn't say who the woman he was going to bring was, who else could it be? No need to guess, it was Song Li!
Song Li stood up and wanted to get some water. "If you like this seat, you can sit here."
Seeing that she didn't answer her question directly, Yu Qingqing started to get angry and stepped forward to stop her. "Are you and Ah Qian going to the charity gala tonight?"
"No comment." Song Li really wasn't sure what He Qian was thinking. Although she was the one who was scheduled to accompany him when the invitations to the charity gala were first sent out, He Qian was a moody person, so how could she dare to speculate?
Yu Qingqing persisted, "Song Li, what are you so proud of? Are you so impatient to show off to me?"
"You can try to act like a spoiled child with Mr. He, maybe he will take you there, but don't be too happy too soon."
Yu Qingqing felt insulted. "You're just a secretary at best. Don't think that just because Ah Qian allowed you to attend this charity gala, you're superior to me!"
She thought back to the night of Zeng Lingxiong's birthday party, when He Qian had actually asked Song Li to sing on stage instead of her, who was hailed as the "Queen of Pop"! The feeling of being directly ignored was simply a huge humiliation!
Song Li tried to get through, but was blocked twice. "Please move aside, Miss Yu. You are hindering my work."
Yu Qingqing grabbed the milk tea on the table, opened the lid, and poured it at Song Li without hesitation!
Song Li was so frightened by the liquid suddenly splashed in his face that he gasped. The ice cubes in the milk tea hit his face and it hurt a little. The cold water quickly flowed into his neck and clothes.
"Sister Li!" Zeng Xinyue ran over, really surprised by this action.
"What are you doing!" He Qian came out and shouted!
Yu Qingqing shrank back when she heard the voice, "Ah Qian, I..."
He Qian approached and saw that Song Li's hair was soaked, his face was covered in brown water stains, and there were a few ice cubes hanging on his collar. Zeng Xinyue was helping to tidy it up...
"Ah Qian, Secretary Song just scolded me! She's one of your people, and she dared to speak so harshly to me. I can't stand it! My parents have never raised their voices to me in my life!"
He Qian's eyes turned cold. Song Li was not a nosy person. It was obvious that Yu Qingqing was unreasonable and started the fight first!
Even though the bad guy had already complained first, Song Li was still silently tidying up her clothes and the table! Even at this time, she still didn't complain to him!
Song Li was more than just holding her breath. If she hadn't reacted a little slowly today, how could Yu Qingqing have succeeded!
"A Qian..." Yu Qingqing shook his arm, tears flashing in her eyes pitifully.
"Who gave you the courage to attack Qi Liang?" He Qian grabbed Yu Qingqing's hand and threw it away.
"I……"
"Go back!" He Qian glared at her.
Yu Qingqing looked extremely aggrieved! She stamped her feet several times in dissatisfaction, snorted at Song Li, turned around and walked away!
"Do you have any clothes in the car? Give me the keys, I'll get them!" Zeng Xinyue had finished a pack of tissues, and the white shirt inside was completely ruined.
Song Li gave her the car keys.
He Qian was standing in front of her. Now it was just the two of them, but Song Li still didn't say a word of grievance.
"Go in and wash up, I'll bring the clothes in later."
Song Li didn't dare to look up at him until she heard his tone wasn't angry. "No, I'll just go to the bathroom and change."
Her voice was still weak, and He Qian felt sorry for her. "Go wash up, it's almost time to leave."
Song Li heard that he did not change his schedule and still wanted her to accompany him tonight.
"Huang Qiying's wife specifically asked to see you." He Qian blurted out, as if explaining something, because he knew she didn't want to go, but this was a last resort.
The annual top charity event with the theme of "Citywide Charity Night, Gathering Sands to Build a Tower" is attended by big names from all walks of life. This is an event fully coordinated and organized by Huang Qiying, because Qiliang had a project he wanted to take over before, and Song Li had spent a lot of time on his wife.
Later, Huang Qiying's wife actually admired Song Li very much, and she would take the initiative to find Song Li every time there was something related to Qi Liang.
