Chapter 41: Fighting for Justice
The plane landed in Huaicheng in the evening. Qi Ronghua and his wife came to pick them up specially. They also invited Ye Xingzhou to dinner and thanked him in person for taking care of Qi Xing over the past few days.
At the dinner table, Qi Xing pretended to be a good boy and ate his food quietly. Occasionally, he glanced at Ye Xingzhou, who was chatting and laughing with his parents across from him. He wondered how this man could be so shameless.
Even though she took care of him right down to his bed, she didn't feel guilty at all in front of his parents. She not only accepted their gratitude calmly, but also shamelessly said that she treated him as her younger brother and it was just a piece of cake.
Shameless people are truly invincible.
"Qi Xing, you just recovered from gastroenteritis. Don't eat such heavy-tasting dishes. Drink the soup instead."
Qi Xing paused as he held the chopsticks. Ye Xingzhou looked at him and reminded him, "Don't forget what the doctor said."
Qi Xing laughed dryly. He just wanted to taste the spicy diced chicken. This bastard could just talk to his parents. Why was he staring at him?
Seeing this, Wang Cuilan hurriedly stopped him: "Yes, yes, don't eat such spicy food, don't be greedy."
Qi Xing took back his chopsticks in dismay. His mouth was almost dry. It was just gastroenteritis. What was the big deal?
Qi Ronghua looked between his son and Ye Xingzhou, and said to Ye Xingzhou again: "Qi Xing has caused you, Young Master Ye, a lot of trouble. I am really sorry for bothering you these days."
Ye Xingzhou smiled: "It's okay, I enjoy it."
Qi Ronghua was speechless for a while, and then he said, "No matter what, we have to thank you."
Ye Xingzhou: "Uncle Qi, you don't have to be so polite. I treat Qi Xing as my own. His business is my business. I won't find it troublesome."
Qi Xing lowered his head silently. What a bastard! He said such ambiguous words in front of his parents.
Qi Ronghua's forehead twitched, and he stopped talking. He laughed awkwardly a few times, then changed the subject and continued chatting with Ye Xingzhou about other things.
After the meal, Ye Xingzhou personally sent Qi Xing and his parents to the car and politely said goodbye to Qi Ronghua and his wife.
Qi Xing was walking at the end. He turned around and looked at Ye Xingzhou who was staring at him and glared at him.
Ye Xingzhou didn't care: "See you later."
Qi Xing got into the car and closed the door tightly.
As the car drove out, Wang Cuilan, who didn't notice anything wrong, kept praising Ye Xingzhou all the way. Qi Xing suspected that if he had an older sister, his mother would definitely want to find a son-in-law for him.
Qi Ronghua suddenly asked, "Qi Xing, what is your relationship with Ye Xingzhou like?"
Qi Xing was looking down at his phone in the passenger seat. Ye Xingzhou had sent him a WeChat message half a minute ago asking him to come over tomorrow night. He replied with a bunch of eye-rolling emoticons. When he heard his father ask this, his hands trembled. Fortunately, his father was sitting in the back seat and didn't notice his discomfort.
"Dad, you haven't asked me this several times before. That's it. We can still get along well. He wants to have a good relationship with you and the old man anyway, so he is more polite to me." Qi Xing laughed.
Qi Ronghua didn't quite believe it: "He stayed in Beijing to take care of you?"
"How is that possible?" Qi Xing said immediately, "He stayed there because he had a business meeting with someone, and he just took care of me for two days."
Qi Ronghua: "I told you not to get too close to him, but you didn't listen. So forget it, but you have to be sensible and don't be fooled."
Qi Xing: “…”
I'm your son, a grown man in his twenties, not an underage girl, okay?
Although in the eyes of his parents, it doesn't make much difference.
Qi Ronghua was worried, but he didn't want to point out in front of Qi Xing that Ye Xingzhou might be planning this for him, lest something unexpected happen.
I secretly thought that my son had grown up and it was time to help him consider his lifelong affairs.
Qi Xing, however, did not feel his old father's worries at all. In the following month, he still frequently went to Ye Xingzhou's house to hang out. Sometimes Ye Xingzhou asked him to go, and sometimes he went there on his own initiative when he was in the mood.
Not only that, under the pretext of discussing business, he also openly went to Ye Xingzhou's company several times and had sex with Ye Xingzhou in the office twice.
Although he called him a beast, when it came to cooperation, Qi Xing was more cooperative than anyone else.
That afternoon, it happened that the company had a document to be sent to Ye's company. It was originally a job for a subordinate to run an errand, but Qi Xing took the initiative to do it. Before four o'clock, he skipped work in broad daylight and drove to Ye's building himself.
As a result, he arrived at an inopportune moment because Ye Xingzhou was in a meeting which could not be finished in a short time.
Ye Xingzhou's secretary came down to meet him and explained to him that today was the board meeting, which had been going on all day and would probably last until six or seven in the evening.
"Mr. Qi, if you are not in a hurry to leave, go sit in the chairman's office for a while. He said you can do as you please."
Qi Xing listened absentmindedly and asked, "Where is he having the meeting?"
The secretary pointed him in the direction of the conference room, which was on the same floor as Ye Xingzhou's chairman's office.
Qi Xing glanced over there and waved his hand: "Okay, I get it, don't worry about me, just go and do your thing."
After sending Ye Xingzhou's secretary away, he walked into Ye Xingzhou's office as if he knew the place well, lay down on the sofa, and started playing with his mobile phone.
He had been to this place just last week. He had come to discuss with Ye Xingzhou about the follow-up investment in Xingneng Technology. After the business was over and his subordinates left, the beast Ye Xingzhou locked the door and stripped his clothes right on the sofa.
Qi Xing narrowed his eyes and recalled the details of that time, feeling a little unsatisfied.
Although it was embarrassing to do it in an office where someone might knock on the door at any time, it was also exciting enough. After that day, his legs were shaking as he walked, and it took him two whole days to recover. Although he cursed at the time, he couldn't stop thinking about it afterwards, so much so that even now when he was lying on the sofa playing games, he was a little distracted.
The result was that he lost three games in a row, threw his phone on the carpet and didn't want to play anymore.
Ten minutes later, Qi Xing, who had nothing to do, appeared outside the meeting room and looked inside through the gap in the blinds.
There were at least a dozen or twenty people sitting in the huge conference room, sitting in a circle around the large conference table, and there was another circle around listening and taking notes. The atmosphere was not very good at all.
Ye Xingzhou had his usual cold face, frowning slightly as he listened to a subordinate sitting behind him talking. Someone at the conference table stood up and raised his arms excitedly, while others were discussing, some carefully staring at Ye Xingzhou's reaction, some were confronting the one standing, and some lowered their heads and listened as if they wanted to stay out of it. The whole conference room was as lively as a vegetable market.
Unfortunately, the soundproofing in this conference room was too good, and Qi Xing didn't hear a word of what they were arguing about. He smacked his lips, feeling a little regretful that he couldn't get to eat the melon. His eyes finally locked onto Ye Xingzhou's face, and he couldn't help but whistling in his heart.
Even with this Rakshasa face now, he is still handsome enough, and he stands out among the middle-aged and elderly men in this room, otherwise he would not look down on him.
A few minutes later, Ye Xingzhou leaned back in his chair, crossed his long legs, and arrogantly raised his chin towards the one who was still shouting loudly. He said something, and the man's expression immediately changed, with undisguised anger and hatred appearing on his distorted face.
Qi Xing clicked his tongue and suddenly remembered. No wonder this person looked familiar. Wasn’t this the protagonist of the previous Ye family wedding, the third son of the Ye family, Ye Wanqing?
He looked quite high-spirited then, but today he looked like a dying stray dog, completely devoid of grace and manners.
A few minutes later, Ye Wanqing left the table angrily and slammed the door.
Qi Xing stepped aside. The other party didn't see him and strode away with a gloomy face.
Qi Xing raised his eyebrows and turned back to look into the meeting room.
Ye Xingzhou suddenly raised his eyes and glanced in the direction where he was standing. Qi Xing was startled and subconsciously avoided him. Then he realized that something was wrong. Ye Xingzhou couldn't see him inside, right?
He looked back and saw Ye Xingzhou speaking. The noisy meeting room finally quieted down. It was probably just his illusion.
Qi Xing suddenly felt bored and was about to leave when the door of the conference room opened again. This time it was Ye Xingzhou's secretary who came out.
"Mr. Qi, are you okay?"
Qi Xing: "...Can you see me in there?"
“I couldn’t see you,” the secretary explained, “but the chairman saw you when he just opened the door.”
Qi Xing was speechless. How could this guy have such sharp eyes? He could see and hear everything in the entire conference room.
He asked curiously, "The one who just slammed the door and left was Ye Lao San? What did your chairman do to him? I saw that he was quite obedient to your chairman before, wasn't he?"
He had also heard gossip about Ye Wanqing. He was not a complete playboy like Ye Wanqi. He had some skills but not much. When the power of the Ye family was changing, he sold out his own brother and defected to Ye Xingzhou at the last moment. Therefore, he was still able to work in the company now. However, his mother was sent to a "nursing home" and his younger brother was sent to jail by Ye Xingzhou. It is easy to imagine how his life was.
Qi Xing asked casually, and he didn't expect the secretary to tell him about the internal affairs of his own company. However, the other party cooperated and satisfied his curiosity: "It's the Third Young Master. He has been a little dishonest recently. He has been making small moves in private, trying to use the company's resources to benefit himself. The chairman just gave him a warning today, dismissed him from his position, and expelled him from the board of directors."
"He's already been fired from his position and kicked out of the board, and it's just a warning?" Qi Xing asked in surprise, "What does it mean to really take action? Send him directly to jail like his brother did?"
The secretary smiled and avoided answering: "Mr. Qi, please go back to your office. The meeting will probably be over in another hour."
Qi Xing really had no interest in staying here any longer, but he was not too happy about having to wait for Ye Xingzhou for another hour.
Yang Kaiming's WeChat message came in at the right time, asking him to go out for dinner in the evening. Happy.
Qi Xing: “No.”
Yang Kaiming: "Another appointment with your godfather? Master Qi, can you do this? You have homosexuality but no humanity. You can't just stay at home and serve your godfather every day, and never go out of the house, right?"
"Get lost!" After replying with this one word, he changed his mind, "Okay, go ahead, send me the address."
It’s not an appointment with anyone. No, that’s not right. It can’t be called an appointment, otherwise that bastard Ye Xingzhou will find out and go crazy again.
By the time Yang Kaiming sent the address, Qi Xing had already taken the elevator down to the underground parking lot.
It was not yet time to get off work and there was almost no one in the parking lot, so the sound of a phone call was particularly obvious.
Qi Xing didn't mean to eavesdrop, but the other person's voice was a little loud and he was swearing angrily, not far from his car.
He looked up and saw that it was Ye Wanqing, who was leaning against the car door with his back to him. He was talking to someone on the phone, and every word he said was about Ye Xingzhou, cursing him with ugly words like "bastard" and "born by a mother but not raised by her".
Qi Xing stopped and listened for a moment, then walked over.
When Ye Wanqing hung up the phone, he heard someone tapping on the hood of his car. He turned around and saw Qi Xing's expression paused. He asked in a rough voice, "What's the matter?"
He obviously didn't remember who Qi Xing was. Perhaps he felt that he looked familiar and just thought he was an employee in the company.
Qi Xing sneered and asked, "Who were you scolding just now?"
Hearing his tone, Ye Wanqing was already extremely unhappy when he realized that he was here to cause trouble for him. His face instantly became as dark as the bottom of a pot: "What does it have to do with you?"
Qi Xing: "It's my business if you scold Ye Xingzhou. I happened to hear it. Sorry, I just like to stand up for the weak. It's not okay for you to scold him."
"Who the hell are you?" Ye Wanqing raised his voice, "If you want to flatter him, you better look at the place. He's not here, and there's no point in you meddling in his business!"
"Who said I wanted to flatter him?" Qi Xing said coldly, "I just don't like you. You have a mother who gave birth to you but you don't have a mother who teaches you. You look like a lost dog. You are worse than a coward."
Ye Wanqing was so angry that his face twisted: "Who the hell are you! How dare you scold me like that!"
Qi Xing: "Why do you care who I am? Anyway, it's enough for me to know that you are nothing."
Ye Wanqing was burning with rage. The anger that he had been holding back was completely ignited by Qi Xing's few words. He rushed up and punched him.
Qi Xing was prepared. He took the baseball bat he had picked up from the trash can when he first came over and hit his grandson directly.
