Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Are You the Boss Here? Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Are You the Boss Here? Zhou Hongqi originally had little managerial ability, and if it wasn’t for Nan Qiao helping him behind the scenes and making money with him all these years, how could he have had any income and be seated firmly in this position? Zhou Hongqi angrily said, “Liu Hui plagiarized, and we didn’t know, how can you put this blame on us?” Secretary: “In order to shirk responsibility, Liu Hui claimed that you also knew about her plagiarism and continued to use those design drawings.” Zhou Hongqi: !! “Damn it, this despicable woman, she actually schemed against me! Had I known she plagiarized the designs, would I still have used them?” The secretary helplessly said, “Plus, the clients who purchased the designs heard about this and boycotted it, massively canceling their pre-orders. We’ve suffered huge losses!” Zhou Hongqi, as agitated as an ant on a hot pan, heard a suggestion from the secretary, “Mr. Zhou, if you don’t come up with a plan soon, our company is truly finished.” Zhou Hongqi angrily threw his cup, “Do you think I don’t know that? Do I need you, an idiot, to tell me?” The secretary bowed his head and dared not speak anymore. Wasn’t it hard enough to hold onto a job these days? He didn’t want to be unemployed! Zhou Hongqi, this fool! Ignoring Nan Qiao who is like the God of Wealth and instead driving her away, how stupid! The secretary’s inner complaints went unheard, naturally, by Zhou Hongqi. Zhou Hongqi couldn’t be bothered with the secretary and walked straight out. He must come up with a plan! Zhou Hongqi drove to the company where Nan Qiao was. As long as that company didn’t sue Liu Hui for plagiarism and sold him those design drawings, his company could reduce the losses. ... Nan Qiao arrived at the reception, where the receptionist said, “Mr. Qiao, please wait a moment, there’s a parcel for you, I’ll go fetch it.” Nan Qiao: “Okay, I’ll wait here.” Nan Qiao stood at the reception, browsing through the records of this period. Just then, Zhou Hongqi arrived. Walking in with arrogance, seeing Nan Qiao at the reception, his eyes filled with surprise, disdain, and cunning. Zhou Hongqi approached step by step, “Qiaoqiao, why are you working here? Don’t you need to earn tuition money after returning to your parents?” Nan Qiao looked up to see Zhou Hongqi’s face, cold as frost, as if seeing someone she didn’t recognize. “Qiaoqiao, are you working at this company?” Nan Qiao, unsure what Zhou Hongqi was up to, responded nonchalantly and said no more. Zhou Hongqi pulled out his phone and said, “Qiaoqiao, look, you’re working here, earning what, three thousand dollars a month? How about this, I’ll give you ten thousand dollars, can you help me with something?” Zhou Hongqi then asked, “Is your boss a man or a woman?” Nan Qiao: “What do you want?” Zhou Hongqi cheerfully said, “Qiaoqiao, seeing you work at the reception here, you must be living hand to mouth, right? Your biological parents are really something, how could they let a top scholar like you work a summer job, that’s just too harsh!” Nan Qiao stared directly into his eyes: “Are you even human?” How dare he speak about her parents that way — did Zhou Hongqi really think she had no temper? Zhou Hongqi, unable to maintain his face upon being rebutted, suddenly felt that Nan Qiao’s words were too harsh! “Qiaoqiao, I actually took care of you, how can you talk to me like that!” “When the plank hits not your body, you can’t feel the pain! You talk about my parents, why can’t I talk about you?” Zhou Hongqi didn’t expect Nan Qiao to dare speak to him with such an attitude. The old Nan Qiao was always all smiles, even if Liu Yanfang had said many unpleasant things, she would just laugh it off. But the Nan Qiao standing before him now was so assertive and fiery that Zhou Hongqi felt utterly alienated. Thinking of why he was there, Zhou Hongqi started, “Qiaoqiao, since you work at this company, do you know the boss?” Nan Qiao: ? She was the owner of this company, unfortunately, Zhou Hongqi didn’t know that. Nan Qiao hummed an acknowledgment, and Zhou Hongqi’s eyes gleamed, “Then do you have a good relationship with the boss?” Nan Qiao hummed again, and Zhou Hongqi grew excited, “Qiaoqiao, since you’re familiar with the boss, could you talk to him and get him to sell those design drawings to our company?” Nan Qiao looked at Zhou Hongqi in disbelief, “You want to buy design drawings?” Zhou Hongqi nodded, “Yes, you might not know, but your company’s Liu Hui came to our company with design drawings that turned out to be copied from your company’s designs! This woman has ruined me! The clothes designed from those drawings, I had the factory work overtime to produce them, and now due to Liu Hui’s plagiarism incident, many customers who pre-ordered are all returning their purchases. If this continues, I’ll be finished!” Nan Qiao hadn’t expected Zhou Hongqi to plan on buying the design drawings. Nan Qiao curved her lips slightly, softly asking, “What makes you so sure the company will sell the designs to you?” Zhou Hongqi: “Whether they sell or not, I have to try first, don’t I? This situation, isn’t it better to give it a shot? Qiaoqiao, after all, we are family. Help me out, would you? Go and tell your boss to sell those design drawings to me.” Nan Qiao: “How much are you willing to pay?” Zhou Hongqi: “A million?” Nan Qiao laughed, her mocking gaze making Zhou Hongqi uneasy. “What are you laughing at?” “I’m laughing at your outrageous demand! A million for so many design drawings. Mr. Zhou, are you sure your brain is working properly?” Furious and wanting to lash out but remembering he needed Nan Qiao’s help, Zhou Hongqi swallowed his anger. Zhou Hongqi in a low voice implored, “Qiaoqiao, just help me out. Speak nicely with your boss for me. I promise you’ll benefit from it. How? If your boss is happy, would he still let you just be the receptionist? Surely he would make you the secretary!” Nan Qiao’s eyes flashed fiercely, unblinkingly staring at Zhou Hongqi as if she could bore a hole through his body. Her gaze was like seeing an inanimate object, making Zhou Hongqi uncomfortable. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “It’s because of you!” Nan Qiao exploded in anger. “You mean for me to seduce someone else to benefit you?” Nan Qiao angrily questioned. Zhou Hongqi looked around and in a low tone said, “Qiaoqiao, I’m doing this for your own good. If my company doesn’t go under, and later when you marry someone wealthy, won’t your life be better too? Even if you were a top scholar and a good student, you might not necessarily land a good job, right?” If Zhou Hongqi were not her foster father, had not raised her once, Nan Qiao would have definitely kicked him out! His heart was too filthy! Nan Qiao’s piercing gaze fixed on Zhou Hongqi, “Not everyone’s heart is as filthy as yours! Get out!” Zhou Hongqi, losing his temper due to the rebuttal, shouted at Nan Qiao, “How dare you yell at me? Nan Qiao, you are just a receptionist, what right do you have to kick me out! Are you the boss here?” Just then, the receptionist returned, “Mr. Qiao, what’s the matter? Do you need me to call the police?”
