Qi Cheng had already sat down in his chair. After hearing the vice president’s words, he raised his head. "Didn’t I say to leave this matter alone?"
"Although Mr. Qi said that, we still have one thing we don’t understand."
"What don’t you understand?" Qi Cheng asked.
The vice president, on behalf of everyone, asked the question they all wanted to ask. "Why doesn’t Mr. Qi want Du Yan to win?"
They all wanted to understand what grudge Qi Cheng had with Du Yan. Although they didn’t dare to ask before, now that the company had reached this point, they couldn’t avoid the question anymore.
Qi Cheng said, "There’s no particular reason, but I’ve said I’ll handle this. Don’t ask anymore. You may leave."
"But..."
"Don’t worry. In two days, everything will be taken care of." Qi Cheng sounded calm. When the executives left, they all looked frustrated.
Outside, a few people gathered to discuss—
"From Mr. Qi’s deanor, he doesn’t intend to explain at all."
"If there was so legitimate reason, he wouldn’t need to hide it from us."
"I think this might have sothing to do with Chen Zhi."
"What does this have to do with Chen Zhi?"
"Are you stupid? Who doesn’t know about Mr. Qi’s romantic affairs? He must be interested in Chen Zhi. That Chen Zhi is very young, probably the type Mr. Qi likes."
"That’s impossible, right? Isn’t Mr. Qi engaged?"
"Being engaged doesn’t an he can’t look elsewhere. I even heard he’s tangled up with his ex-wife, the one he dumped after a year of marriage. This big boss does whatever he pleases."
Unfortunately, his status was such that they couldn’t provoke him. No one dared to ss with him.
Even if Qi Cheng ruined this company, they couldn’t do anything but disperse.
Du Yan had been very arrogant these past few days. Everyone outside admired him.
If Company B was the big villain full of secrets, then he was the hero daring to fight against it. He thoroughly enjoyed this role he had carved out for himself.
Company B never responded to the matter. The rumors outside continued to grow.
Ji Yunhuan sat in her office, looking at the newspaper, and couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Qi Cheng, it says here that the reason Du Yan isn’t getting fair treatnt is because you’ve taken a liking to Chen Zhi and want to promote her."
"..." Qi Cheng, who was reviewing reports, remained silent. After hearing Ji Yunhuan’s words, he said, "Let take a look."
Ji Yunhuan walked over, sat on his knee, and handed him the newspaper. "Take a look!"
Now, Chen Zhi had also beco a hot topic. Everyone believed she had climbed up by attaching herself to Qi Cheng. Though her design was clearly worse than Du Yan’s, she still got promoted.
In reality, Chen Zhi was talented. While her design wasn’t as good as Du Yan’s, it was still the best among all the contestants. Her win was not unfair; it was just that Du Yan’s comparison made her seem inferior.
Qi Cheng looked at the reports in the newspaper. Despite many accusations about Company B, he had never frowned. But now, seeing his reputation maligned, he couldn’t stay calm at all.
He dialed the internal line. Assistant Gao soon entered. Ji Yunhuan remained seated on Qi Cheng’s lap, and he held her in place, not letting her leave. Assistant Gao was used to this sight.
Qi Cheng handed the newspaper to Assistant Gao. "Find out who did this."
Assistant Gao said, "I happened to have sothing to tell Mr. Qi."
"What is it?" Qi Cheng glanced at her.
"Ms. Chen Zhi is here. She said she wants to see you."
"What does she want to see for?" Qi Cheng asked curiously.
"She didn’t say. Should I let her in?" Assistant Gao asked.
"Let her in."
Assistant Gao led Chen Zhi and knocked on the door. Ji Yunhuan quickly left Qi Cheng’s lap, standing to the side looking like his assistant. Chen Zhi entered and stood before Qi Cheng’s desk, her face filled with indignation. Ji Yunhuan looked at the girl with so surprise. She was quite young, probably around twenty-three or twenty-four, looking fairly delicate, but her eyes were full of anger.
"Ms. Chen?" Assistant Gao gazed at her. Chen Zhi had said outside she had sothing to discuss with Qi Cheng, yet now, she remained silent.
Ever since she entered, Chen Zhi had been glaring at Qi Cheng as if he were her enemy. She spoke, "Give it up!"
The cold voice echoed in the spacious office.
"What?" Qi Cheng looked at this woman in confusion. He had initially thought she ca to thank him. Unexpectedly, she started with such an inexplicable statent.
Chen Zhi said, "Don’t think that by using such thods, you’ll move . Hmph, people like you are the worst. I will never like you!"
"..."
Her words left Qi Cheng, Ji Yunhuan, and Assistant Gao dumbfounded.
With her serious deanor, she seed deeply troubled.
"Miss, you..." Assistant Gao couldn’t listen any longer.
Qi Cheng would like this small woman with no figure?
Besides, he already had Ji Yunhuan and wouldn’t be interested in this girl at all!
Just as he was about to make Chen Zhi face reality, she interrupted him, "I know you’re going to persuade to accept him, but I’m not interested in such a person."
"..."
Chen Zhi ignored the others’ astonishnt and domineeringly said to Qi Cheng, "You’d better clarify the rumors outside and abandon your filthy thoughts, or else..."
She finished threatening and strutted out of the office, feeling quite handso. She had rejected a wealthy man and maintained her integrity.
After Chen Zhi left, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but squat down in laughter.
"So funny?" Qi Cheng’s darkened face didn’t soften a bit after Chen Zhi left. Ji Yunhuan couldn’t hold back. She looked at Qi Cheng. "How does it feel to be rejected? That girl is too funny."
"What’s this anyway?" Qi Cheng had already stood up, blocking Ji Yunhuan between himself and the desk. "I got used to it long ago. How many tis did you reject before?"
"..." Ji Yunhuan sensed danger in his eyes and placed her hands against his chest. "Enough. This is the office. What if soone walks in and sees?"
"Let them see."
"Stop it." She pushed him away. "Qi Cheng, if you keep this up, I won’t co tomorrow."
She pushed him back into his chair. He pulled her into his arms. "What do you plan to do if you don’t co? Go back to Bai Liyan, huh?"
Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but pinch his waist hard. "You’re too much! If you ntion him again, I’ll ignore you forever."
His kiss landed on her lips, just a kiss, nothing else. His presence filled her with safety, making the cold office feel sweet.
