Chapter 1130: Our Company Really Can’t Afford to Offend Certain People
After saying this, Chi Mingwei strode out of the cafe with a cold expression.
“Mr. Chi, there are certain people whom our company really can’t afford to offend…” Secretary Cao’s voice sounded from behind Chi Mingwei, but he did not turn back.
The chauffeur, Xiao Lu, had already driven the car to the entrance of the cafe. Chi Mingwei was furious as he opened the door and got in.
With a bang, Chi Mingwei slammed the door as if he was venting his anger.
Xiao Lu was shocked. He saw Chi Mingwei’s grim expression through the rearview mirror.
“Sir, what happened?” Xiao Lu asked carefully.
Chi Mingwei took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. “The Quan family is playing tricks behind our backs and ruining my business. They are very powerful, so ordinary companies will be afraid of them. It’s actually quite understandable.”
“Isn’t the Quan family going against Young Master Quan Jue? What has this got to do with us…” Xiao Lu said weakly.
Chi Mingwei rubbed his temples. “Who in the Quan family doesn’t know about Jiaojiao and Quan Jue’s relations.h.i.+p? Although dealing with us won’t be a real blow to Quan Jue, it can still annoy him. Sigh. In the end, I’m the one who is a burden to my own daughter.”
“Sir, don’t say that. You’re innocent. Miss won’t blame you if she finds out about this. She’ll only feel sorry for you.” Xiao Lu hurriedly persuaded him before asking tentatively, “Sir, should we tell Miss and Young Master Quan about this?”
Chi Mingwei immediately shook his head. “Jiaojiao and Quan Jue are busy enough. Look, they’ve been so busy these past few days that they haven’t been home much. Just yesterday, they were called out in the middle of the night and worked for hours before getting the opportunity to rest. How can I cause them any more trouble?”
Chi Jiao’s face appeared in Chi Mingwei’s mind. His baby had lost some weight in the past few days. It was obvious that she had been too busy with work and hadn’t been eating well.
Chi Mingwei’s heart ached. There were several times when he wanted to persuade Chi Jiao to quit her job at 117. He wanted to take care of Chi Jiao so that his precious daughter wouldn’t have to work so hard.
However, Chi Mingwei knew that be it Chi Jiao or Quan Jue, they both had things they wanted to do. He didn’t want to be a stumbling block for his daughter.
Therefore, he couldn’t cause trouble for his daughter anymore.
Of course, he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
He had a feeling that Quan Jingzhou would not really attack him.
Although Quan Jingzhou’s methods were very despicable, he was also arrogant. He didn’t think much of Chi Mingwei, so he wouldn’t even deign to deal with him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed his hand until now.
Therefore, Quan Jingzhou was probably not behind this matter. If so, it would be easier to resolve.
As Chi Mingwei was thinking, a shadow suddenly appeared at his window and knocked.
Chi Mingwei turned his head in confusion and saw Quan Yan through the window.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Chi. I’m Quan Yan, Quan Jue’s elder brother. Do you have time to talk to me?” Quan Yan sounded like he was asking, but his expression was relaxed as if he was sure that Chi Mingwei would not reject him.
Indeed, Chi Mingwei wouldn’t refuse. He thought for a few seconds before opening the door. “First Young Master Quan Yan, I didn’t offend you, but you ruined my business. Isn’t that too immoral?”
Quan Yan smiled and did not deny it. “Mr. Chi was stood up, so he should be very free. Why don’t you get out of the car now and we can find a place to chat?”
