Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was also at this time of the night when the wind and rain were bleak, hidden in the waning lights of the Grand Lake Villa district.
When Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun returned home, it was already dark.
The couple made a trip to Tanshan Villa district. Song Siting was recovering very well, so the couple was relieved. They only returned after having dinner there.
Dongfang Liuyun was a little tired from the torment. After taking a shower, she laid on the sofa in the side hall and watched TV while Qi Lei was still busy in the study room.
Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye really needed to go out to relax, so Qi Lei’s work had not been easy recently. Fortunately, everything was on the right track and there were not too many problems like before.
At this moment, in the quiet study room, Qi Lei was focused on typing on the keyboard in front of him and dealing with the urgent doc.u.ments in his email inbox.
When he was in a state, his work efficiency was very high. After about half an hour, he had already finished responding to the other parties.
Just as he was about to turn off the computer, his phone suddenly started vibrating. He quickly picked it up and the call was from w.a.n.g Chun
“h.e.l.lo? Second Master?”
w.a.n.g Chun’s voice came through.
“Yes, it’s me.” Qi Lei replied. He moved his mouse and slowly closed the laptop. “I’ve sent the doc.u.ments back. Remind him to check them.”
“Okay, Master Qi.”
w.a.n.g Chun responded and paused before continuing, “The Lin Corporation has been reorganized. We are now the biggest shareholder of the Lin Corporation. Should we directly move the company under Tai Yu Corporation?”
w.a.n.g Chun asked for instructions.
“No need. We are not involved in their industry. We must let Tai Yu Corporation stay out of this matter. You can carry out this matter according to the original method.”
“Yes, Master Qi! Oh right, Master Jin, Jin Sheng came to look for me again today. He hopes that our side can loosen up and increase the price appropriately. They are somewhat anxious to get this piece of land.”
“The land is in my hands. It’s up to me whether to sell it or not. We can be considered to be involved in this field now. Although it’s an old city area, it’s still lively. It looks like the Lin family and Lin Yuanyuan incident has dealt them a huge blow this time.”
Qi Lei thought for a moment and said thoughtfully.
“Of course it’s a huge blow. Previously, when the Lin family was going well, they were a great help to Dongfang Ren. Otherwise, Dongfang Ren wouldn’t have been able to climb up to this position. However, when the Lin family fell, he threw them aside. He was only interested in profit. He didn’t even give Lin Yuanyuan face. He’s quite bold.”
w.a.n.g Chun’s voice was filled with disdain.
“We can use the bidding method on Jin Sheng’s side. Of course, tell them that if anyone has land on South River, I’ll give them priority. I don’t mind trading land for land. The difference in price can be made up for.”
As Qi Lei said this, w.a.n.g Chun’s side immediately heard a burst of pleasant surprise
“That’s right! Why didn’t I talk about this! Land for land! The Jin family seems to have a piece of land in South River. Previously, it was behind the South River No. 1 Project engineering base. Master Mu seemed to have had intentions of taking over that piece of land, but perhaps because of the delay, he hasn’t made any moves. If we can make the Jin family relent this time, it will definitely be of great benefit to us. But if it’s in the hands of the Jin family, it might not be the case.”
“It’s good that you know. I’m just giving you a reminder. You can do whatever you want with it.”
Qi Lei replied nonchalantly before hanging up the phone.
…
“Who were you talking to? It’s so late. Why don’t you rest early?”
Qi Lei put his phone away. Just as he closed the doc.u.ments at the side, a clear voice came from the door. He quickly looked over and realized that Dongfang Liuyun was already standing at the door in a thin robe, staring at him.
“Why aren’t you sleeping? Didn’t I tell you to sleep first?”
Qi Lei frowned and reached out his hand at her.
Dongfang Liuyun obediently walked over with a cup of warm milk in her hand and handed it to him
“Mama w.a.n.g specially called to remind me to have a drink before going to bed. You must be tired recently. You should rest early in the next few days.”
Although Dongfang Liuyun was not the kind of person who cared about others, her concern for Qi Lei was very natural.
Qi Lei glanced at her and took it silently. Without saying a word, he drank it all.
“Just now at the Tanshan Villa district, what did Mother call you to the study room to tell you?”
Dongfang Liuyun asked curiously, “I saw that when you came back, your mood was not quite right.”
“Why?”
When Dongfang Liuyun asked this, Qi Lei looked at her meaningfully. “Are you worried that Mother will make things difficult for me?”
“What else?” Dongfang Liuyun replied. She thought for a moment, then turned around and sat down at the corner of the table. She lowered her eyes. “Don’t come over with me in the future. I’ve said that Ms. Song isn’t easy to communicate with.”
“You’re thinking too much this time. Actually, she’s just talking to me about you. I’m trying to suggest that she leave the legal world and focus on being a legal consultant for the Dongfang Group. That way, she can better protect you and Father.”
“What did she say?”
Dongfang Liuyun looked up at Qi Lei in surprise—
He did not expect that he would actually talk about this with Song Siting. Was he not worried that Song Siting would reject him even more?
Song Siting had always disliked others interfering with her work and her choices. Dongfang Liuyun was really worried that Qi Lei would step on this minefield.
“She did not answer me. I think she still has her persistence in her heart. Father also told me before that he would not force Mother to do anything as long as she was happy.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun laughed bitterly. “It seems like I have never understood the feelings between them. To be honest, I really feel that they are not a good match, but they still lived together in harmony for most of their lives.”
“My father is a very refined gentleman, a man who’s almost perfect. Sometimes, I really don’t understand why he would fall for someone like my mother. He’s so selfish, stubborn, and unreasonable. He even went to ask him about this matter. He told me that at the beginning, he didn’t realize that Ms. Song had so many flaws, but he got used to it.
“I remember you asking me what kind of person I want to be with. Then, I thought about it and suddenly felt that the person I want to be with is someone like my father. Someone who can protect me so surely at all times.”
Dongfang Liuyun was not a dreamer, but when she said this, her face suddenly turned hot because she realized that Qi Lei’s eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation!
