Chapter 76.
Although Qian Yirong's attitude was very cold and she didn't give him any face, but the huge benefits of the land in the east of the city were just there, Qian Chaowen was unwilling to give it up. However, Qian Yirong's attitude towards them was fully demonstrated in that phone call.
No matter how much he wanted to repair the relationship with her, he had to get some response from Qian Yirong. However, Qian Chaowen soon discovered that Qian Yirong was not ignoring their entire family.
Qian Chaowen began to feel fortunate at this time that he had not imposed a strict restriction on Xu Baiqing's contact with Qian Yirong. Now Qian Yirong's attitude towards Xu Baiqing was different from theirs, which also gave Qian Chaowen hope.
"Bai Qing, you are still in contact with... Rongrong, right?" Qian Chaowen asked tentatively.
"...Yeah." Xu Baiqing knew why he asked this, and responded pretending to be embarrassed.
After all, they were the ones who asked him to cut off contact with Qian Yirong. If it weren't for this incident, they might have come to accuse him of this. But now, Xu Baiqing had to find some benefits for himself.
Qian Chaowen showed a look of relief when he heard that. At this moment, he felt that it was fortunate that Xu Baiqing was not so obedient. After all, Xu Baiqing's behavior at that time was to help him when he needed it most. If he continued to stick to him now, not only would it be icing on the cake, it would be obvious that he was deliberately trying to please him.
"You can spend more time with Rongrong and ask her some business questions." Qian Chaowen didn't want to reveal his purpose right away, so he said this to Xu Baiqing.
Now Qian Yirong is still angry with them, so let Xu Baiqing test Qian Yirong's attitude towards them and get closer to her slowly. There will always be a chance to extend his hand to the land in the east of the city.
"But when you didn't let me contact Rongrong before, I told her about this. Wouldn't it be bad to go to her now?" Xu Baiqing raised the corners of his mouth for a moment and said this deliberately.
Qian Chaowen's face twisted for a moment when he heard her say that, then he regained his fatherly expression. He said, "It's okay. Judging from Rongrong's attitude towards you just now, she's not angry with you. If she asks, just say that it's because the Mu family is putting pressure on our family that we're temporarily refraining from contacting her."
Qian Chaowen's words were intended to put all the blame on the Mu family. In his opinion, if Mu Zexuan hadn't hinted that he didn't like Qian Yirong, he wouldn't have let Qian Yirong leave the Qian family. After all, it wouldn't be a hindrance to them even if they kept Qian Yirong at home.
It is even possible that Qian Yirong had received some inside information this time to know that the land in Chengdu would be developed. If she had stayed in the Qian family, he would be the owner of the land now.
Qian Chaowen was filled with countless regrets, and he smoothly blamed the Mu family for this. He didn't remember at all that in order to get close to the Mu family, he gave some things, and then he couldn't wait to get Qian Yirong out, and even moved her out of the household registration.
"I understand." Xu Baiqing didn't try to provoke Qian Chaowen, who looked like he was about to explode. She nodded, then asked "beautifully," "Can I go find my sister now?"
Qian Chaowen's expression brightened when she heard this, and she immediately supported Xu Baiqing's request, saying that she could stay with Qian Yirong for a while longer. Now that it was vacation time, she could stay overnight at Qian Yirong's place.
With the other members of the Qian family reminding her, both overtly and covertly, to say more good things to Qian Yirong, Xu Baiqing simply packed up her things and left home. Xu Baiqing did not ask the driver to take her directly to the villa where Qian Yirong currently lived, because she was worried that the other members of the Qian family would come to her house after knowing about it.
So they went to the building where the company's address was already public. Before the land auction began, Qian Yirong had already rented the upper and lower floors where the company was located.
When Xu Baiqing arrived, he saw that the building, which usually had almost no visitors except for the company employees, was now bustling with noises of various requests for cooperation. The fatigue on the faces of the staff with work badges was visible to the naked eye, but their spirits were excited, and they took these excited people to different meeting rooms.
"Secretary Zhou." Xu Baiqing saw a familiar person and quickly called him over.
"It's Miss Xu." Zhou Rongruan was not unfamiliar with Xu Baiqing. After all, he had seen her when he was with the two bosses.
"Is Rongrong busy now?" After taking a look at the chaotic environment around him, Xu Baiqing called someone aside and asked in a low voice.
"The boss has been very busy lately," Zhou Rongruan said, a look of admiration on his face. "Ever since the document from above was issued, the company has become very lively."
Zhou Rongruan had never imagined that the piece of wasteland that she had auctioned off was actually a hidden gold mine, and her boss accurately took control of the gold mine amid everyone's ridicule.
There are countless people coming to seek cooperation now, but very few of them can actually meet Qian Yirong. They are all helping Qian Yirong to screen out those who are not qualified. Of course, the language they use is very polite. After all, the company is now at the center of controversy and it is not good to offend too many people.
"Then is it convenient for me to go see her now?" Xu Baiqing hesitated. When he was at Qian's house, he only thought that he could use this opportunity to find Qian Yirong openly, but he forgot that this was the busiest time for Qian Yirong.
"Ah? This..." Zhou Rongruan hesitated to speak.
Xu Baiqing knew what was going on when she saw her like this, so she said there was no need to disturb Qian Yirong. She would just find a quiet place in the company to wait for Qian Yirong to get off work. Zhou Rongruan then took her to a small tea room, which was the quietest place in the company during this period.
Xu Baiqing then began to wait in the tea room. Listening to the noise outside, Xu Baiqing felt happy but couldn't help feeling a little lost. After all, Qian Yirong was now like a pearl that had been wiped clean of dust, shining brightly at a glance. The distance between her and Qian Yirong seemed to have become farther.
Xu Baiqing sighed and was in a daze when she heard footsteps approaching. She was very familiar with the footsteps. She turned around with surprise and joy, and sure enough, she saw someone she knew.
"Rongrong, why are you here?" Xu Baiqing stood up and asked excitedly.
"You came to see me, of course I have to come and see you." Qian Yirong's voice was a little hoarse, and there was some fatigue between her brows, but her eyes were bright, and the look she gave Xu Baiqing was very gentle.
"...Did I disturb your work?" Xu Baiqing asked hesitantly.
"How could that be?" Qian Yirong came to her side and hugged her in front of her surprised gaze, saying, "I'm so tired of dealing with these people. I'm so happy you're here."
Xu Baiqing hugged Qian Yirong back, who was exactly the same as before. The vague uneasiness in her heart was now completely soothed. She stroked her back gently, just like Qian Yirong did when she comforted her before, feeling Qian Yirong's even breathing in her ears, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth that she didn't even notice.
"Okay, charging is complete." After an unknown amount of time, Qian Yirong let go of Xu Baiqing. She looked at Xu Baiqing with some apology in her eyes and said, "It will take some time for work to be finished. I can't accompany you for the time being. Do you want to go back to the villa first?"
Xu Baiqing has the access card to Qian Yirong's villa, and of course she also knows the password to the villa's door. She can go directly to Qian Yirong's villa without worrying about not being able to get in because there is no one inside.
"Can I stay here and wait for you to get off work?" Xu Baiqing asked tentatively.
"Of course you can, but I'll be very busy next. Can you do it alone?" Qian Yirong asked with some concern.
"I'm fine, Rongrong, don't worry." Xu Baiqing's eyes lit up and he immediately assured her.
"Then there's a rest room in my office where you can be quiet and not be disturbed. You can go there and wait for me to get off work." Qian Yirong said after thinking for a while.
"Okay." Xu Baiqing immediately agreed so that he could be closer to Qian Yirong.
"Let's go, but we have to hide from others." Qian Yirong said as she extended her hand from Xu Baiqing.
Xu Baiqing put his hand on hers, pulled the suitcase and smiled at her. He felt that it was very exciting to avoid people like this and was eager to try it. The two of them came out of the tea room and the noise outside became even louder.
Qian Yirong pulled her away from the hall, temporarily letting those who were looking for her to cooperate with her see her. They would definitely surround her, and it would not be so easy to escape then. Bypassing the crowded area, Qian Yirong quickly entered the work area that only employees could enter.
"You don't have to worry now that we're here." Qian Yirong comforted Xu Baiqing.
"That was so interesting just now." Xu Baiqing felt that what happened just now was very interesting. The two of them seemed to be having an underground love affair.
"You always find everything interesting," Qian Yirong chuckled. "You haven't been here for a long time, haven't you? The changes here will surprise you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Baiqing shifted his attention to the surrounding environment. Just as Qian Yirong said, there have been great changes here. Before, from various small details, one could tell that this company was in its infancy, and it felt like a makeshift team.
But now it’s different. In just half a year, this place already looks very formal. There are even almost twice as many staff members as when I first came here, and their professional aura makes people dare not underestimate them.
"I've video-chated with you in the office before, but the image you saw was limited at that time. Now you are welcome to visit my office." Qian Yirong said as she pushed open the door of her office.
Xu Baiqing had previously discovered that Qian Yirong's office had moved, but she didn't know the specific circumstances. Now, Qian Yirong's office has become spacious and upscale, with a large floor-to-ceiling window behind the desk, and the decoration is also simple and rigorous in line with Qian Yirong's style.
"It looks great." Xu Baiqing came to the desk and picked up the nameplate with Qian Yirong's name on it. The name outlined in gold letters looked very noble. The whole office was very much in Qian Yirong's personal style.
