Mu Yuchen did not go in right away. Instead, he stood at the door silently and listened to the mother and son talk on and on. Only when it was getting dark outside did he gently knock on the door, and the sound obviously startled the two of them as they quickly looked towards the door.
“Father!” Mu Zirui called out.
Xi Xiaye watched the tall figure walk through the door and smiled gladly. “I was just about to call and ask when you were coming over. It’s getting late and Xiao Rui’s almost done with his homework. Arrange for a car to send him back to the Shen residence or Grandpa will get worried soon.”
Mu Yuchen nodded. He then told Li Si to send Mu Zirui home.
“If Xiao Rui continues to be the way he is right now, he’s sure to do great in the future!”
Xi Xiaye suddenly said, “I hope that Mu Xiaocheng will also be as smart when he grows up. That way, we don’t have to be too worried.”
“There’s no way our son could be a little fool. The little guy looked like he wanted to stand up recently, but he fell quite a few times. His legs are still weak.”
When Mu Xiaocheng was mentioned, Mu Yuchen could not help but smile. His son was becoming cuter and cuter.
“Mmm, the little guy only eats and sleeps. He just needs to grow more st.u.r.dily and he’ll be quick on his feet. He can walk soon after he can stand. It’s almost six months now. I remember your mother told me before that you could walk at seven months, and at nine months, you could call ‘Father’ and ‘Mother’. Our son won’t do worse than you, I suppose?
“As great as he could be, experience counts. Okay, I know you miss your son. You’ll see him when you get home tomorrow. The doctor’s going to come later to change your dressing for you. We’ll see how your injury’s like then. Let me help you outside for a walk while there’s still a bit of sunset.”
Xi Xiaye then nodded, and got up obediently.
The next morning, at the upper management meeting room in Qi Kai Corporation, everyone did not expect Qi Qiming to be there while he was still sick. In fact, not only did he not demote Qi Lei’s position, but he was even a loving father to his son. He unleashed his temper on everyone as if he was protective over his son, scolding them all until they dared not refute.
“I hope that you’ll all show me a little bit more results and solutions, and not push all the blame of the scandals onto one person. It’s clearly a scheme by our opponents. Every one of you here takes home hundreds of thousands in salary. Qi Kai’s not here to pay useless fools! If you’re in an important position, then show your capabilities! It’s been so many days since the incident. Our share price keeps dropping, yet none of you can come up with a substantial way to fix this. Are you all useless? Huh? If anyone is unable to step up into their positions, then let me know quickly and get lost p.r.o.nto!”
Qi Qiming imposing manner did not diminish. When he went all out, he could really make everyone scared witless and as mute as a mouse!
While Yue Hai and Xi Xinyi remain perplexed, by the looks of it, Qi Qiming was quite protective over Qi Lei. The father and son’s relations.h.i.+p was like water and fire before this. What could have made them change so drastically?
In fact, Yue Hai did not forget that just two days ago, Qi Feng’s trusted aide, Morrison, had met him to talk. From what he had said, Yue Hai could not guess Qi Feng’s trust intentions. All of this made him find it all very weird as he kept feeling like Qi Feng was hiding something.
When Qi Qiming finished, after a short silence, someone raised their uncertainty, “But, CEO Qi, Second Master Qi ended the deal with City B because of this incident. Previously, Second Master guaranteed that he’d be able to get it, and now this project has fallen through. If Second Master Qi won’t offer us an explanation, I’m afraid it’ll be hard to convince everyone!”
Qi Lei, who had not spoken up, subconsciously looked to the source of the voice when he heard this. Quickly, he found the person who had expressed his doubt.
It was Qi Feng’s former trusted aide, a project manager in Qi Kai, who had many huge projects on hand. He also had a close relations.h.i.+p with Qi Qiming. Qi Lei was used to being troubled by such people.
When Manager Xu said that, most people nodded in agreement as they all locked their gazes on Qi Lei.
Standing behind him, Yang Sheng could not help but be worried. He quickly pulled Qi Lei aside and asked a little worriedly, “What should we do, Master Qi? They’re clearly prepared to make things hard for you.”
You could not see any expression from Qi Lei’s handsome face, but in his heart, he had already cursed Mu Yuchen a thousand and one times.
b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l, Mu Yuchen! Don’t you dare screw up at such a crucial time. Why aren’t you here yet?I’ll hold out for another 10 seconds. If this b.a.s.t.a.r.d dares to screw me over, I’ll peel all his skin off!
…
He cursed on the inside for quite a while, and the other people’s gazes became sharper now. They all had a cold light of doubt in their eyes.
While Qi Lei remained calm on the surface, his hand that hid underneath the table was already reaching into his pocket. He took out his phone and quickly sent Mu Yuchen a message: ‘Why isn’t there any news from your end yet? If you dare to screw me over, you’re dead!’
He had just sent this message when there was the sound of footsteps from outside! There was a knock on the door, and then the bodyguards in black pushed the door open.
“CEO Qi, CEO Li’s reps from Li Corporation of City B and Mr. Stephen’s a.s.sistant are here. They’d like to discuss the project that you’ve previously talked about signing a contract for. If there are no issues, then the contract can be signed!”
When he said that, everyone was instantly stunned. They looked in disbelief towards Qi Lei. Did they hear him right?
Had that foreign businessman decided to sign the contract with Qi Kai? Did they not say that the deal had fallen through before this? In fact, at such an unstable time in Qi Kai, that businessman’s head must be short-circuited. Also, what did this have anything to do with the Li Corporation?
In an instant, everyone started to discuss spiritedly. They gaped at Qi Lei with astonishment. Why did they feel like there was more to this?
Even Qi Qiming was a little shocked. He exchanged a look with Gu Lingsha and looked at Qi Lei.
When Qi Lei did not say anything, Qi Qiming had to ask, “VP Qi, what is the meaning of all this?”
A cold sneer just flashed across Qi Lei’s calm face, then he answered calmly, “Were you all not denouncing me strongly earlier? There’s probably nothing more for me to do here, is there? Okay, I’m almost done talking now. We’ll need the hard work of all you elites after this. I’ll go host them, so you can all continue!”
Qi Lei closed the doc.u.ment before him and handed it to Yang Sheng who swiftly took it and got up to keep the doc.u.ment into his briefcase.
