(2 more updates) “Sleeping, continue?” What kind of outrageous statement is that! At this moment, her phone continued to vibrate incessantly. Someone didn’t feel satisfied just texting and had started bombarding her with voice messages. Tang Wan was fortunate to have headphones in her bag, and she listened to a few voice messages: “Tang Xiaowan, I was so considerate last night, and you still won’t appreciate it?” “People stayed up all night taking care of you. If it were ancient times, marrying as gratitude wouldn’t be too much, right?” “Why are you pretending to be dead? Talk to me, hey, are you still angry? I worked overtime on the weekend, and I’m not even mad, Tang Wan—” ... Tang Wan wouldn’t bother with her. She was so angry that she grabbed her phone, intending to return to her workstation. Today was the weekend, but due to the year-end push for performance, everyone was working overtime. Her parents also often called, asking when she would come home and planning to arrange blind dates for her. She was already furious, and to top it off, Tang Wan ignored her. She turned around, and her whole demeanor faltered. A group of company executives, including her department manager, were there. The biggest bosses were at the front, with her manager shrinking behind, following at the end. Caught slacking off by the top brass—could it get any worse? At that moment, all she could think was, “I’m doomed, they’re going to fire me, I’ll have to go home for blind dates...” She hung her head, feeling extremely awkward. At that moment, she noticed a pair of polished, shiny leather shoes in front of her. She held her breath but thought to herself, “Wow, these shoes are so shiny, they could serve as a mirror.” She drooped her head, wishing she could just disappear, but then the person reached out and slightly raised the name tag pinned on her chest, “Planning department?” His voice was soft, with a faint fragrance about him that she couldn’t describe. In novels, domineering CEOs would wear traditional cologne, but his scent was fresh yet clean. She thought to herself... This must be what rich people smell like. “Mr. Qi!” Her manager ran over immediately, “I’m so sorry, it’s my fault for not supervising properly. Don’t worry, I’ll take her downstairs and handle this.” The least favorite thing for an employer is when employees slack off during work hours. “She usually works very diligently, and she was even awarded advanced worker this year. She hasn’t been with the company long, young people can be a bit impetuous, so please don’t be mad, I’ll handle it seriously and give a strict reprimand...” Her manager was scared to death, afraid he might get dragged into this as well. He remained silent, just seriously looking at her name tag, “Come to the 27th floor later.” The 27th floor—that was only his office! After saying that, he left with the group majestically. Just as she looked up, her manager smacked her arm, “What are you doing making calls during work hours, you girl! Didn’t I tell you that the higher-ups were going to inspect today? You’re really going to be the death of me.” She bit her lip, just glancing at the group of people in the distance. Someone tall stood out like a crane among chickens, especially with that slicked-back hair shining brightly! That was her higher-up, a big boss she seldom saw. Being a lower-level employee, she’d only heard his name and knew as much about him as an ordinary internet user. “This time Mr. Qi will handle it personally, I’m afraid you’re going to be made an example of for slacking off during work hours.” “Umm...” she clenched her phone, “Manager, about my year-end bonus...” “You’re still thinking about a year-end bonus? You should be grateful you’re not fired! Go up and wait for the end!” ... She waited on the 27th floor for over an hour. The assistant invited her to have some tea in the office, but she dared not drink it. Even if she was normally carefree, faced with such a critical issue potentially involving her job, she was scared! Until a man with a slicked-back hairstyle returned, the assistant served him coffee, and after he dealt with a few urgent matters, he tilted his head and examined her, “Making personal calls during work hours?” “I just took a call from a friend, Mr. Qi, I’m sorry, please give me another chance, I promise I won’t do it again.” “Your friend is Tang Wan, from the Tang family in Pingjiang?” “Yes.” They didn’t realize how long they had been standing behind them; this was not a situation they could lie about, so she simply told the truth. “Okay, you can leave now.” That’s it? What is going on here? ** After Tang Wan got home, she busied herself with cooking. Since she received an overwhelming number of messages, she thought it was another critique session and didn’t pay much attention, only during a break did she take a closer look. “Tang Xiaowan, I’m done for. I was caught slacking off at work by the big boss, not only is my year-end bonus gone, but my job might be over too.” Looking at the time, Tang Wan knew she should have finished work at noon, so she quickly called her, “...What happened? Were you scolded? They didn’t really fire you, did they?” “Not fired, but they reassigned me.” “They didn’t make you clean the toilets, did they?” The person across twitched the corners of their mouth fiercely, they definitely watched too many dramas. Quitting voluntarily and being fired are two different things, many companies won’t easily dismiss employees because they don’t want to pay extra compensation, sometimes, they would place them in less important positions to force them to resign voluntarily. “It’s not like, how should I put it, the position seems ordinary, but I feel like I got promoted, I’m now the assistant to the boss’s assistant, but I’ve never done administrative work.” It was a clear demotion but a secret promotion! After all, being close to the boss provides many opportunities to perform, positions like this are what many yearn for but cannot obtain. “If it’s a promotion, isn’t that pretty good?” “But I feel it’s kind of weird...” However, Tang Wan was busy cooking, and they didn’t chat much before hanging up the phone. Once she confirmed her job was secure, Tang Wan felt relieved. ... Meanwhile, in Beijing, at a brass hotpot restaurant When the man pushed the door and entered the private room, the hotpot was already boiling furiously, Qi Zeyan holding the public chopsticks, was just putting in some lamb rolls, “You’re this late?” “Got to finish up work for a trip?” Qi Zeyan raised an eyebrow, “It’s rare for you to travel! What’s the matter, that you have to go there personally?” It was almost the end of the year, every company was busy, and ever since Jiangjiang was born, this man hardly ever traveled! He tried his best to make time to be with his son, even quit smoking, and unless absolutely necessary, probably even quit drinking. “Some urgent matter, must handle it personally.” “Hey, by the way, I did something really beautiful today!” “What?” The man was holding a small bowl and spoon, adjusting the hotpot seasoning. “You wouldn’t believe how coincidental this is, my wife’s best friend turned out to be really working at my company.” Wife? Someone’s shameless to the extreme. If Tang Wan heard this, she would probably want to beat him to death. Qi Zeyan continued, “At first, I thought they might be from the same town, but then I checked the records, they attended the same school for junior and senior high and even attended the same university though majored in different subjects.” “Later, I had someone subtly inquire, she didn’t say much, but today I hear it over the phone.” “I transferred her under my supervision, with her best friend in my grasp, why fear I couldn’t chase after my wife?” “This truly is a gift of fate, too coincidental! We are indeed made for each other!” The hotpot boiled, and the lamb rolls could be eaten after boiling for a dozen seconds, he had already picked up some meat with chopsticks and turned his head towards him, “So you plan to start with her best friend?” “At least I can get information about her firsthand.” “Still, she’s her best friend, she might not help you.” “I’m her boss, I have money. I plan to get on good terms with her, once the project cooperation starts, I’ll arrange for her to join.” The other person’s fingertips stopped while mixing the dipping sauce. “Not everyone loves money, not everything can be solved with money.” Qi Zeyan raised an eyebrow, “That’s because you aren’t offering enough money. With enough money, even ghosts would grind mills for you, let alone people.” “...” These words left him speechless. “Let me tell you, your brother is really unreliable, his moods are so unpredictable, and who can be sure about him? I had him keep an eye on his sister-in-law, and last time I called, he even sabotaged me!” The person lowered his head and continued eating, ignoring him. You’re constantly keeping tabs on his people, and he only sabotages you? He hasn’t kicked you yet! Qi Zeyan imagined a beautiful scenario in his mind, even thinking about marrying Tang Wan and how many kids they would have, but reality, like a fierce beast, eventually left him without a bone to spare. “By the way, where are you traveling to?” “If you don’t eat now, your lamb is going to melt.” “Oh gee—” Qi Zeyan hastily scooped out the lamb, his question was casual, and as the topic got sidetracked, he naturally put the thought out of mind. ... The person wasn’t actually going on a business trip but was picking someone up. The plane tickets were all booked, his mother had given him a strict order: [It doesn’t matter if you come back, just bring back the Tang Family people, your brother, and my grandson.] His company was genuinely busy. Considering how meticulously and securely his brother manages tasks, and even Tang Yunxian could handle things aptly, it didn’t really matter if he went or not. But when he thought to argue back, his mother struck him down coldly. [A person who can lose his own wife, what right does he have to bargain with me?] It felt like a huge hole had been pierced through him, his whole body chilled to the bone.
