After a while, he finally spoke, "Did Xiaochen buy the house in Yujing Garden for this woman?"
Chen Qin nodded, "Yes, I paid in full for the house, and used Xia Zhichu's name."
"This bastard is exactly like his father when he was young."
When the old man got the result, he was so angry that he hit his crutch hard.
He had a sudden heart attack last night. If Chen Qin hadn't brought him medicine in time, the old man would probably have had to stay in the hospital again.
Seeing him angry, Chen Qin quickly calmed him down. "Don't worry. Since Xiaochen has agreed to the marriage, he will marry Zhao girl in the future. As long as we don't cross Xiaochen's bottom line and hold the engagement party for the two children in advance, when the matter is settled, this woman will naturally leave on her own."
The old man didn't think so. He snorted, "You underestimate Xiaochen. Although he is as sentimental as Guangxu, his actions follow my nature. Plus, he's so protective of this woman, it's clear he's already fallen in love. I'm afraid his current compromise is just paving the way for a comeback later."
"You mean..."
"He must be trying to find a way out of this marriage, so Qinqin, send someone to keep an eye on Xia Zhichu 24 hours a day. We'll proceed as agreed, but if Xiaochen breaks the agreement and meets this woman, don't blame me, your grandfather, for being ruthless."
Mr. Si watched Xia Zhichu park his electric bike and hurried into the lobby of Peak Group. His eyes behind his reading glasses flashed with a cloudy and sharp light.
Xia Zhichu was too sensitive. He felt a chill coming from behind him and subconsciously stopped and looked back.
However, in the hustle and bustle of traffic, there were vehicles coming and going quickly, and nothing seemed wrong.
Xia Zhichu thought he might have seen it wrong, and was about to turn around and leave, but he saw a black luxury car parked on the side of the road.
There was an old man sitting in the car, and he looked in her direction.
That look makes people extremely uncomfortable.
Xia Zhichu wanted to go over to see what was going on, but she saw the other party closed the car window and the luxury car quickly drove out of her sight.
"Xiao Xia."
As she was following the car, someone suddenly called her. Xia Zhichu turned around and saw that it was her new boss, Lina.
"Teacher Lina." Xia Zhichu called out politely.
Lina smiled at her and said, "I see you've been standing here for quite a while. What happened?"
Lina had just parked the car and got in when she saw Xia Zhichu here. She was a person with a strong sense of time and paid special attention to the time. Xia Zhichu had been standing there for a full five minutes.
"Nothing, I think I met an 'acquaintance'." She didn't know who the old man was, nor did she know why he looked at her with such a strange look. Even now, when she thinks about it, she still feels like a thorn in her back and her hair stands on end.
"Go up, it's time to work."
Lina looked at the time again and walked towards the elevator in front.
Xia Zhichu said "oh" and followed with a few big steps.
The two of them appeared in the design department at the same time and happened to run into a group of colleagues discussing the new leader. Unfortunately, Lina heard everything.
Xia Zhichu was embarrassed and used small gestures to remind everyone that the leader was coming. However, these people acted so recklessly that they didn't even notice what was happening behind them.
Finally, Lina couldn't listen anymore and coughed twice. "The design department is used to create value for Peak Group, not a market for you to chat after dinner."
This sound scared everyone and they all dispersed and returned to their workstations.
Xia Zhichu said something to Lina and returned to his seat, but when he passed by his colleagues, he heard complaints from them.
"Zhichu, the leader is here, why didn't you tell us?"
Xia Zhichu shrugged innocently and said, "I sent you a lot of secret signals, but you were chatting too happily."
After saying that, she sat down.
It is said that a new official will start his job with three major changes. Shortly after Lina entered the office, she came out to notify people to hold a meeting.
Xia Zhichu entered the meeting room with his notes, and then everyone found their seats and sat down one after another.
Lina connected the computer to the projector.
Having just heard so many negative discussions from her colleagues, Lina didn't show any anger. Instead, she glanced at everyone present with extreme seriousness, then crossed her arms and said, "The time for the quarterly show has been confirmed. It will be at the beginning of next month. Everyone has submitted their work. Currently, only you, Xiaoxia, have not finished yours."
After saying that, Lina fixed her gaze on Xia Zhichu.
When this matter was mentioned, Xia Zhichu suddenly realized that he had applied for a three-day deadline from his boss. He originally wanted to find inspiration and design a work at home on the weekend, but was delayed by Chu Tiantian's matter.
She looked at Lina apologetically and said, "Teacher, I will hand in the manuscript tomorrow morning."
"Actually, there's no need to redesign. I think the work you designed before was pretty good." Lina knew everything about Xia Zhichu and knew that she was a designer with potential, but she lacked training and had not been able to truly shine in the design industry.
In addition, she has a strong backer, so her future prospects are immeasurable.
"No, that work has been invalidated. I plan to redesign it." Xia Zhichu said with great certainty. She hoped that her work would be recognized by everyone.
As for the previous manuscript that had been described by Manager Lan and had ruined Manager Lan's future, Xia Zhichu didn't want to use it anymore.
"Okay, I want to see your work tomorrow morning." After Lina said that, she began to discuss the real purpose of today's meeting.
The Peak Group's quarterly show is an event that the big boss attaches great importance to. It means that Peak Group is about to open up foreign markets, and all designers present have the opportunity to step onto the Milan Fashion Show.
Because outstanding works will be sent to Milan to participate in the competition, the winning designs will also be displayed at this year's Milan Fashion Show.
Colleagues in the design department are all senior designers with many years of design experience.
Xia Zhichu actually didn't have much confidence.
After all, her starting point was relatively low, and this competition was just to make up the numbers, but even so, she didn't want to give up.
Because if you give up, you will lose everything, but if you try hard, you still have a chance to succeed.
This meeting was directly connected to the president's office.
Si Mochen promised the old man that he would not interfere in anything about Xia Zhichu, but he couldn't really just leave it alone, so he contacted Lina for help in the morning and asked her to send him Xia Zhichu's updates at any time.
The purpose of doing this is to monitor Xia Zhichu's situation and do our utmost to protect her.
Through the video, Si Mochen clearly saw Xia Zhichu's face, and she was sitting upright listening to the meeting, and taking notes seriously from time to time.
Xia Zhichu, who was silent like this, was so quiet and gentle, and was completely different from the drunk little girl.
Si Mochen leaned back in the leather seat, crossed his arms, and stared at the screen with great interest.
