Chapter 83.
Qian Chaowen took Qian Chengshu to the suburbs where Qian Yirong's company was located early in the morning. As the road became more and more remote, he couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust on his face. However, the closer he got to Qian Yirong's company, the more cars he encountered on the road, and there was even a traffic jam in the remote suburbs.
Qian Chaowen certainly knew why this happened. Ever since the document from the Economic Development Zone came down, some people who didn't know that he and Qian Yirong had severed their relationship had come to him for help. But since they knew that he had kicked Qian Yirong out of the house, those who came to him completely disappeared.
It seemed that these people must have come directly to Qian Yirong. Even the nearby parking lot was full of cars. Qian Chaowen looked at the driver who circled around several times before finding a remote parking space, and his face became even uglier.
"Dad, don't be angry. Once we get the land in the east of the city, Qian Yirong won't be able to jump around." Qian Chengshu was very jealous of the scene of guests coming to Qian Yirong's company. Since he was brought to his side by Qian Chaowen, he had never seen such a grand scene in his own company.
"You're right," Qian Chaowen took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and said, "The embarrassment now is all for the future."
The two of them sorted themselves out in the car, leaving the driver waiting there. They got out of the car and walked towards Qian Yirong's company building. Because the parking space was too remote and some distance away from Qian Yirong's company building, they walked for a while. On the road, some people who got off other cars also headed towards Qian Yirong's company building, forming a large flow of people.
However, when Qian Chaowen looked at the other people around him who were holding gifts, he actually felt a sense of superiority. Unlike those who came from afar to find Qian Yirong to cooperate, he was the one who Qian Yirong asked to meet.
Qian Chaowen completely ignored the fact that he had been ruthlessly rejected when he tried to find Qian Yirong before. He just thought that most of these people would be turned away, and only he could see Qian Yirong directly.
Arriving at the lobby of the building, the staff of Qian Yirong's company had been busy during this period and were now very familiar with dealing with the flow of people. Qian Chaowen brought Qian Chengshu to the staff and was about to speak.
"Please register here first," the staff said politely.
"I have an appointment with Qian Yirong." Qian Chaowen said.
The staff couldn't help but look up and saw the man in front of them calling their company's boss by his name. In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people coming to see the boss, and all of them politely called the boss Mr. Qian. The staff felt a little surprised when they suddenly met someone like Qian Chaowen who called the boss by his name directly.
"Excuse me, sir?" asked the staff.
"Chi Chaowen." Chi Chaowen said.
It was the same last name as the boss. The staff member took it more seriously and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll check with the higher-ups."
The staff called Zhou Rongruan and said that there was a visitor named Qian Chaowen who said he had an appointment with the boss. The staff nodded repeatedly as they listened to Zhou Rongruan's instructions on the phone.
"Mr. Qian, please wait for a moment. Someone will take you upstairs in a while." The staff said politely.
Qian Chaowen stood aside under the envious gazes of the people around him. He thought that he would be able to meet Qian Yirong soon, but he didn't expect that after more than ten minutes no one came to greet him. Qian Chaowen frowned in annoyance.
"Hey, didn't you say someone would take us upstairs? Where are they?" Qian Chaowen couldn't stand the looks from the people around him. Just now, when he heard that someone was taking them upstairs, he was still envious, but when he saw them being left here, his eyes became amused.
"The company is very busy, sir, please be patient." The staff member replied politely, but Qian Chaowen only felt perfunctory.
Qian Chaowen originally wanted to leave directly, but thinking that this opportunity was so rare, he could only hold his anger in. He knew that this must be Qian Yirong's way of intimidating him, to let him know that the relationship between them was completely different.
Qian Chaowen stood back beside his son with frustration, and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied with his son. If Qian Chengshu could have the same unique vision as Qian Yirong, he would not be humiliated here today.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Qian Chaowen finally saw someone. He watched a man about the same age as Qian Chengshu walk towards the staff. After they talked for a few words, the staff pointed in his direction.
"Is this Mr. Chi Chaowen?" the woman came up to him and asked.
"It's me." Qian Chaowen had been waiting for so long that his mouth was already dry, and he replied in a hoarse voice.
"I'm General Qian's secretary. I was a little busy just now, so I was delayed for some time. Now, please follow me upstairs, Mr. Qian." Zhou Rongruan had no apology for leaving anyone here, and gave a superficial explanation for why he showed up so late.
"It's okay, I know Rongrong is very busy now." Qian Chaowen forced a kind smile and said reasonably.
After listening to Qian Chaowen's reasonable words, Zhou Rongruan not only did not think that Qian Chaowen was a gentle person, but became more wary of him. After all, as Qian Yirong's secretary, she had some understanding of Qian Yirong and the Qian family, so she knew that the relationship between Qian Chaowen and Qian Yirong was not harmonious.
Moreover, it was Qian Yirong who specifically instructed to leave him downstairs to dry out, but Qian Chaowen completely endured such a great insult. This made Zhou Rongruan even more wary of him, and felt that he must have bad intentions today.
However, although she was very wary of him, she still maintained a polite expression and took the father and son into the elevator. Because of the busy period, Qian Yirong rented two more floors, which allowed the company to expand faster.
"Please wait a moment, I will go and inform Captain Qian right away." Zhou Rongruan took the two of them to the reception room and left.
Now they finally had a place to sit down. Qian Chaowen and Qian Chengshu felt their legs a little weak after sitting down. They looked around the reception room vigilantly and only started talking after confirming that there was no surveillance.
"Dad, judging from the way Qian Yirong ignored us just now, she has no intention of easing relations with us at all." Qian Chengshu said.
"I know. Our main purpose is not to ease the relationship with her anyway. We just need to delay her for a while so that your sister's actions can go smoothly. Then you won't have to suffer in front of Qian Yirong anymore." Qian Chaowen said in a low voice.
"I understand. Then wait a moment. No matter how excessive Qian Yirong is, I will endure it." Qian Chengshu said with determination.
This time the two did not have to wait long. Qian Yirong came over soon. Qian Chaowen looked at Qian Yirong, who was dressed in a women's suit and looked very imposing, and felt as if he was in another world. Although not much time had passed, Qian Yirong was now completely different from before.
"What exactly did Bai Qing say you wanted to see me about?" Qian Yirong had no intention of greeting the two of them. She walked straight to the main seat in the office and sat down, then asked directly.
"Rongrong..." Qian Chaowen spoke, trying to bring the two closer together.
"We are not that familiar with each other, please call me General Qian." Qian Yirong interrupted Qian Chaowen directly.
Qian Chaowen's face twisted for a moment. He couldn't be angry, he couldn't be angry. For the sake of future benefits, he suppressed the urge to walk away and forced a smile on his face.
Qian Yirong looked at the various expressions on Qian Chaowen's face calmly, feeling quite happy. She liked to see Qian Chaowen's look as if he wanted to kill her but also wanted to please her.
Qian Chaowen was worried that Qian Yirong would continue to argue with him if he spoke, so he signaled Qian Chengshu with his eyes to talk to her. After all, they were once siblings and had spent more time together than he did.
Qian Chengshu's eyebrows twitched when he saw his father's gesture. In fact, he and Qian Yirong had a mediocre relationship, and he had previously thought that Qian Yirong's role was to find someone who could help the Qian family through marriage.
Now that he was suddenly asked to please Qian Yirong, Qian Chengshu felt very uncomfortable, but the situation was more powerful than the people, or the benefits they could get if their plan succeeded made Qian Chengshu suppress all the displeasure in his heart.
"Sister..." Qian Chengshu forced a smile on his face and spoke.
"I'm not your sister," Qian Yirong turned her gaze to Qian Chengshu and said quietly, "Perhaps you still remember that you told me to never use the Qian family's name again, and that no matter what happened, I shouldn't come looking for you."
Qian Yirong's words made the smile on Qian Chengshu's face even more stiff. At first, he was indeed afraid of causing trouble, so he asked Qian Yirong not to appear in front of him and other people in the Qian family. However, things change, and no one expected that the situation would become reversed so quickly.
"I..." Qian Chengshu wanted to explain, but he couldn't think of a good excuse for a moment.
"I'm only meeting you for Bai Qing's sake. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Qian Yirong said this deliberately and made a move to stand up, because she knew that in order for Xu Baiqing and Qu Xueer's operations to go smoothly, they would definitely not let her go back so soon.
"Wait..." Qian Chaowen's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Qian Yirong hadn't been here for five minutes, and Xu Baiqing's situation definitely wouldn't be over anytime soon, so he absolutely couldn't let her leave at this moment. Qian Chaowen's gaze fell on Qian Chengshu, whose face was frozen. Suddenly, he thought of an excuse to keep her. Qian Chaowen walked up to Qian Chengshu and slapped him hard. Then, looking at Qian Yirong with heartache, he said, "I didn't know Chengshu would do such a thing without telling me. I'll ask him to apologize to you."
Qian Chengshu covered his face with his hands, his eyes full of astonishment. He had never expected that his father would suddenly slap him, and his implicit words asking him to apologize to Qian Yirong also made Qian Chengshu look humiliated.
Qian Chengshu had never thought that he would have to humble himself to this sister whom he used to look down upon, and even have to take a slap in the face to apologize to him. Qian Yirong looked at the dog-eat-dog scene between the father and son, and the corners of her lips rose slightly for a moment.
"I think he doesn't seem willing to apologize to me." Qian Yirong stopped standing up and sat back down. She looked at Qian Chaowen and Qian Chengshu with a deliberately smug look on her face.
Seeing that his trick worked, Qian Chaowen no longer cared about Qian Chengshu's thoughts. He slapped him on the back and urged Qian Chengshu to apologize to Qian Yirong. Qian Chengshu could only bow and apologize to Qian Yirong with a face full of humiliation, and he also hated Qian Chaowen in his heart.
