Chapter 309 Fired
When Qi Huaijing entered, Mr. Chen was drinking tea. When he saw him coming, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face.
"Huai Jing, you're here, come and sit down."
Wang Yu took the gift in his hand, and Mr. Chen quickly asked the servant to take it. As the servant took it and retreated to the door, he was gently stopped by Chen Yunna.
"Show it to me."
She wanted to know what Qi Huaijing had given her grandfather, so that she could see how much he valued her.
After opening the exquisite packaging, Chen Yunna was disappointed to find that the supplements were nothing but tacky cordyceps.
The servant looked at her, neither wanting to leave nor stay, and asked, "Miss, is there a problem?"
Chen Yunna waved her hand, feeling a little annoyed: "No, take it away."
She did not go to the hall immediately, but hid aside and secretly listened to her grandfather and Qi Huaijing talking.
"The old man looks in good health—"
Qi Huaijing used the most ordinary opening remarks, and Old Man Chen smiled and said, "I'm fine. I can live to be a hundred years old. You are a very busy man. It's not easy to invite you here."
The old man was telling the truth. He hadn't seen Qi Huaijing for a long time, so he asked him to come and reminisce about the past. However, Old Man Chen was also old, and he knew that he had fewer and fewer topics to talk about with young people.
In fact, Chen Yunna asked him to talk to Qi Huaijing about marriage. He was indeed happy but unsure.
A man as outstanding as Qi Huaijing was being eyed by many aristocratic families in Rongcheng. He simply used his old relationship with Mr. Qi to ask Qi Huaijing for a position for Chen Yunna.
The Chen family used to be on good terms with the Qi family, but now they are far behind them. Old man Chen has lived a lifetime and is almost half buried. He cannot ignore his granddaughter's plea, so he can only bite the bullet and invite her over to have a casual chat.
After all, Mr. Chen is a man of dignity. He was just testing Qi Huaijing. If Qi Huaijing didn't mean that, he would just let it go.
"where."
Qi Huaijing sat down and drank a cup of tea. He smelled the aroma of food and knew that the old man wanted to keep him for dinner, but he didn't want to have too much to do with the Chen family. He had already repaid the kindness of the previous generation with Chen Yunna.
The old man is old, and as his grandson, he will come to visit him when he has time, that's all.
"I came here after having dinner with my wife at home. Your tea is very good. I think I'll have a few more cups."
In one word, Mr. Chen was surprised.
Even Chen Yunna, who was eavesdropping outside, was stunned.
What does wife mean?
Old Master Chen thought he had misheard and looked at him cautiously.
"You and yours?"
Qi Huaijing did not shy away from the question: "Madam, my newly married young wife."
At this point, even if Mr. Chen was confused, he could understand that Qi Huaijing was already married.
Chen Yunna couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out.
"Qi Huaijing, what do you mean? Grandpa invited you to our house at such an old age, and this is how you lie?"
At this moment, she no longer had the calmness and composure she had at work, and believed that Qi Huaijing had come here deliberately to cause trouble.
She threw the things Qi Huaijing brought to the ground and looked at him angrily.
"Yuna, don't be rude."
The old man was furious. This was too much. Chen Yunna's excitement frightened the old man.
He has lived for so many years and seen a lot of the world. He is not like young people who cannot understand current affairs.
Before Qi Huaijing could speak as soon as he entered the room, he drank his tea and said that he had already had dinner with his wife at home. It was obvious that he already knew what the old man wanted to talk to him about.
Regardless of whether what Qi Huaijing said was true or false, Old Man Chen understood it. Basically, there was no hope for Chen Yunna and Qi Huaijing.
"Grandpa, what else did you say to him?"
Chen Yunna was so anxious that her eyes turned red. Qi Huaijing was such a fool that he actually told grandpa that he had a wife. Who was his wife and where was she?
Was he saying this on purpose to reject me, or was he just embarrassed?
Chen Yunna wiped her tears with her hands and spoke directly.
"Qi Huaijing, tell me clearly, what do you mean to me? You have taken care of me all these years, and I agreed to marry you."
Old Mr. Chen never expected that his granddaughter would be so shameless. She had completely disgraced him.
"Yuna, shut up."
Chen Yunna stamped her feet and said, "Grandpa, it has come to this. What can't be said? Qi Huaijing is just a piece of wood that is hard to understand. For the sake of our relationship, he won't say it, so I will."
Old Master Chen's face turned green.
Does Chen Yunna understand or not? Qi Huaijing doesn't like her at all. Why is she crazy?
“Yuna—”
Old Master Chen was very sensible and looked at Qi Huaijing apologetically.
"Huai Jing, my granddaughter is ignorant, don't take it to heart. I think she is just drunk and talking nonsense."
Qi Huaijing put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly: "It's okay, I came here today for my wife."
Chen Yunna was about to blame Qi Huaijing, but when she heard him keep calling her "wife," she angrily asked, "Who is your wife?"
Qi Huaijing looked at Chen Yunna, his lips opening and closing: "Zhou Shuang."
Chen Yunna was dumbfounded. It was impossible. It couldn't be anyone else but Zhou Shuang.
Zhou Shuang’s husband, no, her mistress is an old man. Many people in the company saw it today, and everyone is gossiping about Zhou Shuang. How could it be possible?
"You lied to me."
Qi Huaijing stopped the old man from stopping Chen Yunna: "Let me tell you."
He looked at Old Man Chen and said, "Old Man, I think your granddaughter has misunderstood. Zhou Shuang is my wife. She is very ambitious. I don't feel comfortable leaving her to suffer in someone else's company, so I let her come to our company to have some fun. But your granddaughter has used her position as the company's vice president to disrespect my wife more than once. I'm here today because of this matter."
Chen Yunna's dream was completely shattered. She stood there in a daze, her pretty face turning red and white.
"I originally wanted to keep my granddaughter at the company, but she left my wife in the suburbs to bask in the sun for a few hours. I am the company's president, and no senior executive is allowed to do anything out of line with employees. They can be fired for making mistakes, but they cannot take revenge on their employees."
Qi Huaijing placed the cup on the coffee table, and the force, neither too light nor too heavy, hit Old Man Chen's heart like a sledgehammer. Old Man Chen understood that his granddaughter had offended Mrs. Qi, and no amount of pleading would be of any use.
"Mr. Qi is right. It was my granddaughter who was reckless."
He didn't dare to take advantage of his seniority anymore. Even if the emperor came, he couldn't plead for Chen Yunna in this matter today.
"I don't know when Mr. Qi's wedding will be scheduled. I'd like to have a drink at the wedding."
This was the greatest way to save his face. Fortunately, he still had the old man's face to use to offset the stupid things Chen Yunna did. If it were someone else, Qi Huaijing would probably not be so easy to talk to.
"The wedding in Rongcheng will be at the end of the year, and we'll go to my mother-in-law's house in Haicheng for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
It was exactly the same as the rumor. Chen Yunna was completely dumbfounded. It turned out to be Zhou Shuang, the person she thought was the most unlikely.
How could a girl who looked like a student capture Qi Huaijing's heart? She was not convinced and unwilling to accept it.
"I have to watch a movie with my wife tonight, so I won't disturb the old man's elegant tea time."
Qi Huaijing glanced at the gift thrown on the ground: "Wang Yu."
Wang Yu came over immediately.
"Since Miss Chen doesn't like it, let's take it away."
Chen Yunna's body swayed a little, and Old Man Chen quickly stood up, leaning on his crutches and dragging his old body to respectfully see Qi Huaijing out.
Only when Qi Huaijing's car disappeared did Old Man Chen return to the house tremblingly.
Chen Yunna's eyes were red, and she looked at the old man very unhappy: "Grandpa, why did you talk to Qi Huaijing like that? I don't believe he really married that little bitch."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yunna was slapped hard in the face. Although the old man was old, he was very strong when hitting people. Chen Yunna's face immediately became red and swollen.
"grandfather--"
"Don't call me that. I don't have a granddaughter like you. If it weren't for the fact that your parents died early, I would have sent you to the countryside long ago. I shouldn't have brought you back to me to discipline you personally, and I taught you to be so ignorant of the world."
Chen Yunna was still stubborn: "I just like Huai Jing, is that wrong?"
Old Master Chen laughed angrily: "Do you know what it means toad wants to eat swan meat? You are that toad. What is the status of the Qi family now? What is the status of our Chen family? How could he look down on you?"
The old man almost asked Chen Yunna to look at herself in the mirror.
"What's wrong with us? Don't we still have a relationship with the Qi family?"
The old man wanted to slap his granddaughter to death. If he hadn't been so shameless and humble, the Chen family would have lost the only assets they had tomorrow.
"Do you know who Qi Huaijing is? How can a fool like him be able to make a family that is on the verge of bankruptcy make a comeback? He has his plans on his head. Why doesn't he get married? Do you think he doesn't want to get married, or that he has a crush on you? Bah—"
The old man was so angry that he almost had a heart attack: "Zhou Shuang, you are from Haicheng, why don't you go and ask who the Zhou family of Haicheng is? The Qi family of Rongcheng is far behind us. The Zhou family of Haicheng is worth ten Qi families. If we talk about marrying above our station, I'm afraid Qi Huaijing is marrying above his station."
Chen Yunna was also stunned, but she still didn't believe it.
"That Zhou Shuang's clothes look very ordinary to me. She doesn't stand out in the company. She's not necessarily the daughter of the Haicheng Zhou family. Besides, I don't think she looks like a rich second-generation. If she really was, she could have just acted with a lot of swagger. Why would she come to the company and put up with my wrath, and even keep her marriage a secret?"
Chen Yunna felt that her grandfather's analysis was wrong, and Old Man Chen was so angry that he laughed.
"Who are you and I? We could have imagined what was happening to people of our social class, and we wouldn't have ended up working for them today. If you have the ability, start a business, or marry a man more capable than Qi Huaijing. Don't be so bored as to analyze what others are thinking. You and I will never be able to imagine what's going on in those people's minds in our lifetimes."
After the old man finished speaking, he gasped and waved his hand, unwilling to continue chatting with this stupid granddaughter.
If he were to continue, the old man feared he wouldn't be able to reunite with his son and daughter-in-law in the afterlife until this year. The best fate for his granddaughter would be to marry a good man.
It was already night when Qi Huaijing came out of Mr. Chen's place. Passing by a dessert shop, he bought some of Zhou Shuang's favorite snacks and planned to take them back for her to try.
In the middle of the conversation, his cell phone rang. Qi Huaijing glanced at the number and his whole body trembled.
Wang Yu glanced at Qi Huaijing in the rearview mirror. Qi Huaijing hesitated for a few seconds but still answered the call.
"Hello--"
His voice was deep and pleasant, just like it had been many years ago, and had not changed at all.
The female voice coming from the phone became even softer and more delicate.
"Huai Jing, my plane just landed, can you come pick me up?"
Qi Huaijing held the phone tightly in his hand, waiting for his response. When he thought the line was disconnected, Qi Huaijing finally said calmly, "Okay. Send me the location."
He asked Wang Yu to pull over and handed him the cake. "Send it to my wife. Tell her I'll be socializing late tonight and that she can go to bed and not wait for me."
Wang Yu held the cake and probably guessed who Mr. Qi was going to meet.
"yes."
He watched Qi Huaijing get off the bus, take a taxi, and head in the opposite direction of home.
Wang Yu took a look at the cake in his hand, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of guilt in his heart.
Qi Huaijing asked the driver to stop the car at the airport exit. A hot woman with sexy clothes and curly hair was dragging a suitcase. She was casually browsing her mobile phone in her hand until Qi Huaijing stood in front of her. She was stunned when she saw him, and then rushed directly into his arms.
"Huai Jing, I knew you would come to pick me up."
After the woman finished her coquettish behavior, she leaned over and was about to kiss him, but Qi Huaijing turned his face away indifferently. The woman kissed nothing and looked slightly stunned.
"When did you buy the ticket? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
He took her suitcase and picked it up. For him, who was nearly 190 cm tall, a women's suitcase was as easy as a toy.
The woman skillfully put her hand into his arm, her movements natural and smooth, as if she had done it many times before.
Qi Huaijing let her hold his arm, but the woman could clearly feel his body becoming a little stiff.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see me? I've come to fulfill the promise we made. You said that if you're still married and I'm still married by the time we reach the age of marriage, you'd marry me home in style. It's only been five years, and you're not going to break your promise anymore?"
The man stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him. The woman looked the same as the year she left. However, Qi Huaijing no longer had the heart to play such a cheap joke on her.
"No."
He spoke, and the woman couldn't stop shaking with joy. She snuggled close to him until they reached the door. "Where's your car?"
Qi Huaijing stood with her in the cold wind, waiting.
The woman felt a little cold, so he pulled her into his arms and used his windbreaker to shield her from the wind. When the taxi stopped in front of them, Qi Huaijing opened the door for her and said, "Get in. I'll find you a place to stay first."
His words made the woman embarrassed: "Why are you looking for a place to live with me? Did you sell the place we lived before, or rent it out?"
