Chapter 1679: Returning Home Late At Night (5)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At night in City Z, the lights were exceptionally enchanting.
The plane landed steadily on the runway. When Qi Lei walked out of the airport’s VIP Lane, it was already past seven o’clock in the evening.
The person who came to pick him up was w.a.n.g Chun.
Seeing Qi Lei walk out of the airport from afar, w.a.n.g Chun also squeezed in.
“Second Master!”
w.a.n.g Chun and the two bodyguards in black called out to Qi Lei. Qi Lei and the rest soon noticed them as well.
He was dressed in an iron-gray slim suit. The cuff links had already been opened. His handsome face was very calm and no expression could be seen on it. His black eyes should be as deep as the still sea. The n.o.ble aura around him was very obvious at this moment.
However, there was a hint of hidden fatigue between his brows. Yang Sheng followed behind him with his briefcase.
Qi Lei nodded when he saw w.a.n.g Chun and the others.
“Get in the car quickly!”
w.a.n.g Chun quickly opened the car door. Qi Lei quickly got in as well. w.a.n.g Chun also sat in the front pa.s.senger seat.
“Drive.”
As Qi Lei said that, w.a.n.g Chun quickly signaled to the driver beside him. The driver quickly started the car.
The car drove out steadily. Behind it was the car that the black-s.h.i.+rted bodyguard and Yang Sheng were sitting in.
“How is she?”
After the car drove for a long distance, Qi Lei, who was sitting at the back, asked in a low voice. Perhaps because he was a little tired, his voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e.
She?
w.a.n.g Chun was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses. He knew who Qi Lei was referring to.
“Second Master, Missus is quite well. But recently, she’s been quite busy. She always returning home late. She went to the company for a meeting early this morning, and something seemed to have happened. She’s still working overtime at the company and hasn’t even eaten dinner. When I knew that Second Master was coming back, I didn’t make dinner and send it over,” w.a.n.g Chun quickly replied.
“What happened?” Qi Lei frowned as he listened.
“I asked around. It was Missus’ doc.u.ments that were sent to Lin Yuanyuan, but the doc.u.ments disappeared. Fortunately, Madam was quick-witted and got through with a few data graphs. However, she needed to hand in the doc.u.ments. She’s working overtime at the company because of this.”
w.a.n.g Chun’s ability to do things was naturally extraordinary. He had expected that Qi Lei would ask about this, so he had already asked around.
Qi Lei’s frown deepened.
“Lin Yuanyuan?”
“Yes, it’s Dongfang Ren’s first wife. She’s a capable woman. When she was pregnant with Dongfang Xin, she hadn’t entered the Dongfang family yet. Old Dongfang didn’t really approve of her. It actually wasn’t easy for her to get to where she is right now. She has quite a few people in the Dongfang Group. Maybe this is the disadvantage of the family business. Her family background isn’t simple, so Dongfang Ren has to worry about her. After all, if she wants to seize power in the future, she’ll probably have to rely on her support.”
w.a.n.g Chun quickly a.n.a.lyzed Lin Yuanyuan.
Qi Lei’s gaze suddenly became deep. He thought for a moment and said, “I know. I asked someone to gather information about her before.”
Qi Lei more or less knew about Lin Yuanyuan and Dongfang Rou’er’s background. He also said that he wanted to give Dongfang Liuyun a surprise, he wondered how that was coming along with the person he ordered to get it done.
“Second Master, actually, Missus has not suffered a loss in this matter. Missus’ decision to endure it shows that she has her own considerations, so…”
w.a.n.g Chun saw that Qi Lei did not look too happy, so he said carefully.
Qi Lei, on the other hand, took a calm breath and turned to look at the scenery outside the car window that was constantly moving backward—
The streetlights on both sides of the road were already lit up, and the shadows of the cars flowed endlessly. The psychedelic lights and shadows looked a little absent-minded, illusory and unreal.
“Second Master…”
Seeing that Qi Lei did not speak, w.a.n.g Chun called out softly.
After a long while, Qi Lei said softly, “Since I’ve already married her, I can’t just sit idly by and do nothing about many things.”
Qi Lei suddenly had this thought in his heart—
He wanted her to know, and he also wanted to tell her that he was definitely someone she could rely on, even though he knew that she had too many secrets, just like him.
What could he say? For a moment, did he really have the idea of working hard to become someone she trusted?
It was not a subtle change in their feelings, but he felt that between them, they were probably two people who are seeking for warmth. He could not abandon her, and she could not be indifferent towards him.
w.a.n.g Chun listened and seemed to understand, but looking at Qi Lei’s silent expression, he did not continue. Instead, he changed the topic, “The South River Project has pa.s.sed the review, but Second Master, you still need to reach an agreement with Glory World Group. If there are no objections, then we can confirm that it’s Dongfang Group.”
“I’ve already agreed with Mu Yuchen on this matter. He himself thinks highly of Dongfang Group too. He’s just taking into account the internal problems of Dongfang Group, but I think with Dongfang Gan personally overseeing things, the Dongfang Group can take down this project.”
“Mmm, that’s natural. We can’t underestimate the background of these well-known corporations. Just like Qi Kai back then, even though it was. .h.i.t repeatedly, it didn’t collapse fundamentally. Now that it’s merged with Tai Yu Corporation, it managed to display its huge advantage. In my opinion, this is definitely a good thing.”
When w.a.n.g Chun said this, he could not help but feel a sense of relief—
However, President Qi could not see all of this. If he woke up and saw the current Tai Yu Corporation, he would definitely be very happy.
“How is he? Did the doctor have any news?”
As Qi Lei said this, he suddenly thought of Qi Qiming in the hospital.
“President Qi is still the same. Last week, Dr. Liang had another systematic check-up with him. He’s still the same. His entire body has recovered, but he can’t feel anything. He can’t wake up. According to Second Master’s instructions, I found two very good ma.s.seurs to ma.s.sage President Qi’s entire body every day. This way, his muscles won’t atrophy and when he wakes up, he won’t be like other people who can’t move.”
w.a.n.g Chun was also very considerate to Qi Qiming. When he was more relaxed, he would go to the hospital to visit Qi Qiming.
To him, Qi Qiming was someone he had worked with for many years. Apart from the simple relations.h.i.+p between superiors and subordinates, they were actually like friends. He did not want to comment on the things that Qi Qiming had done, but in his heart, Qi Qiming was a good person, but…
Qi Lei’s eyes darkened when he heard that. He turned to look out of the car window and did not say anything.
