Facing such a situation, Chu Ge didn't really mind, having sowhat gotten used to the days spent with these sisters, but for Qin Ruojing, it was quite a headache.
After another couple of weeks passed, Tianqing Company officially began operations. Tong Yaqi was appointed as the general manager, while Xia Feifei was assigned to the logistics departnt as the logistics manager, and Luo Suyun beca the finance director of Tianqing Company.
Although there was still a lack of talent in the field of R&D, no matter what ga is developed, pre-market analysis and research are always needed, so there was no particular rush in this regard.
After the ribbon-cutting, speeches, and a series of events dining with relevant leaders, Qin Ruojing and Chu Ge returned ho around nine in the evening.
Although this period was indeed quite exhausting, a big weight in Qin Ruojing's heart was finally lifted, and as she relaxed, she drank quite a bit during today's social engagent and entered the elevator with Chu Ge, still wearing a vibrant smile.
"Chu Ge, finally He Qing's company is up and running. As the big boss, how do you feel?"
"Troubleso, it's just too troubleso, day in and day out. I'm getting more and more reluctant to continue. Now that the company is on track, once He Qing returns, I'll just hand the president's position back. Whoever wants to do it can do it."
As soon as this matter was brought up, Chu Ge felt a bit frustrated.
During this period, Chu Ge also spoke to He Qing a few tis over the phone. Unfortunately, every ti this topic ca up, He Qing would either brush it off with a laugh or reason and emotionally appeal for his help. In the end, he always relented, feeling like suggesting stepping down would be a profoundly sinful act.
"Hand it back? Can you really bear to? Don't you feel that these recent days have been particularly fulfilling? Seeing a company being born and then allowing it to flourish in your hands, isn't that a particularly rewarding experience?"
Qin Ruojing originally thought after all this effort that there would be so feelings towards Tianqing Company, but she was taken aback by his words, furrowing her delicate eyebrows as she asked.
"Why wouldn't I bear to? You and I have known each other long enough. Don't you know by now? I'm not that ambitious. A nine-to-five job is just fine. I've told you before, I'm not naturally cut out to be a leader."
Seeing Chu Ge's nonchalant expression, Qin Ruojing really couldn't understand, "What kind of talk is that? Nobody is born a leader, weren't you doing quite well these past days?"
Chu Ge shrugged, and with a laugh, shook his head, "Just like pushing a duck onto a perch. Also, don't you think my role as president is quite inexplicable? Since Tianqing Company is under Tianjiao Group, there should only be a general manager, and above that, the board mbers and you as the chairperson. What's the point of this so-called president?"
"Honestly, your position as president is a bit inexplicable, but it was He Qing's idea. Didn't you agree to it well before?"
At this point, Qin Ruojing paused, suddenly realized sothing, looked a bit puzzled, and continued, "You... you're not dissatisfied because your identity hasn't been made public, and no one knows you're the company's president, are you?"
Chu Ge broke into a sweat, wondering where Qin Ruojing got this idea. He didn't care about such things at all, feeling both amused and helpless.
Chu Ge didn't reply imdiately, and seeing his helpless look, Qin Ruojing beca more convinced of her guess.
From the beginning of her interactions with He Qing, it was always between the two of them. Appointing Chu Ge as the president was He Qing's decision, without consulting Tianjiao Group's board at all. Except for a few people, even the various directors of Tianjiao Group didn't know that Chu Ge was the president of Tianqing Company.
Chu Ge was busy day in and day out, without any official recognition. Even today, he didn't appear at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Wouldn't anyone in his position feel uncomfortable?
While Qin Ruojing was pondering, Chu Ge continued, "Chairperson, you really think too much. I honestly don't feel unhappy at all. I'm a very lazy person who likes to live a straightforward, uneventful life. Managing affairs and people isn't my forte, nor do I enjoy it. I..."
"Chu Ge, I know you're aggrieved. It was my oversight before, and that was indeed my fault. Here's what I'll do. I'll convene a board eting tomorrow to let the entire Tianjiao Group know you're the president of Tianqing Company. You've done so much for the company, and I can't let you feel disheartened."
Before Chu Ge could finish, Qin Ruojing interrupted with an apologetic look on her face. Chu Ge only felt like he was struck by lightning, wondering how Qin Ruojing's imagination could be so vivid?
Just then, the elevator arrived, and without giving him any chance to speak, Qin Ruojing pulled out her keys and opened the door.
"Sis, brother-in-law, you're back!"
As soon as the door opened, Qin Ruoying, smiling broadly, stood up from the sofa, and in front of her on the coffee table, there were lots of beer and a few dishes bought from outside.
"Xiaoying, what's this?"
Qin Ruojing was a bit taken aback, unsure what act her sister was putting on. Recently, whenever she and Chu Ge returned, her sister was either playing on the computer or already asleep. But today, it was obvious she had been waiting for them to co ho.
Qin Ruoying giggled and said, "Hehe, didn't brother-in-law's Tianqing Company officially open? I guessed you guys were having dinner with those leaders or sothing and had to be reserved, probably didn't eat much. So I specially prepared so food for you both. How about that, aren't you touched?"
Chu Ge patted his stomach, "Xiaoying, you're really thoughtful. I didn't actually eat much, and my stomach's still empty. Thanks a lot."
Qin Ruojing looked at Qin Ruoying in surprise, "You're really thoughtful today. Didn't do sothing bad that you want to admit to after buttering us up, did you?"
Qin Ruoying shook her head helplessly and said irritably, "Co on, sis, do you really see like that? I'm genuinely being kind and you think it's insincere. If you're not eating, I'll just eat with brother-in-law."
Seeing her sister's face full of grievance and gloom, Qin Ruojing chuckled, "Of course I'm eating. How can I refuse my sister, who's being so considerate?"
Qin Ruoying's gloom vanished, and she broke into a smile, "That's more like it! Besides... if you don't eat with today, you won't have the chance tomorrow."
Just as Chu Ge sat down on the sofa, he heard Qin Ruoying say that and couldn't help but be intrigued, "Xiaoying, what do you an by that?"
"It ans I'm going back to Kyoto. You two are always busy, leaving ho alone, pretty much letting fend for myself. Instead of being ignored all the ti, I might as well head back to Kyoto, where I have friends."
Qin Ruoying filled three cups with beer, speaking pitifully as if she'd suffered a great injustice.
Hearing this, Qin Ruojing couldn't help but feel relieved; the tactic had worked. Her sister was finally leaving, though she felt a bit guilty. They hadn't spent much ti with her sister this ti around.
"Sis, brother-in-law, co on, let's have a good drink tonight. Tomorrow, I won't disturb your alone ti."
Qin Ruojing had already had quite so drinks earlier, and seeing the table full of beer was making her dizzy. She hesitated for a mont and proposed, "Xiaoying, you know that your brother-in-law and I just returned from socializing. We've already had so drinks outside, so how about we just eat and skip the drinks tonight?"
Qin Ruoying imdiately refused, pouting and grumbling, "Sis, you can't do that. You can drink with outsiders but not with your own sister? This is a celebration I prepared with care, and it's also a send-off for myself. If you don't drink, then I won't leave tomorrow."
After saying that, Qin Ruoying tugged on Chu Ge's arm, "Brother-in-law, you tell , isn't my sister being a bit unreasonable?"
Chu Ge looked at Qin Ruojing, "Xiaojing, since Xiaoying put in so much thought, you should drink a little. Otherwise, it would be a waste of her effort. Besides, everything at the company is running smoothly now. We've been on edge for so long, it's ti to relax a bit. Balance is key, right?"
Qin Ruojing truly didn't want to drink, but since both her sister and Chu Ge insisted, it seed unreasonable for her to refuse. She sat down next to Chu Ge on the sofa, smiled at her sister, and nodded.
"Alright, to celebrate the company's operations and Xiaoying's good intentions, let's drink a bit."
Qin Ruoying giggled and shook her head helplessly, sighing, "Ah, how does that old saying go? 'Girls aren't ant to be kept,' huh? Sis, you're a typical case. No matter how much I persuade you, a word from brother-in-law does the trick. My status in your heart is really falling."
Knowing her sister would leave tomorrow, Qin Ruojing was in high spirits. She didn't mind being teased by Qin Ruoying, playfully tapping her sister's forehead and saying, "Silly girl, no need to say that now. When you find a man you like, you'll be worse than I am. Just wait and see if you don't believe ."
"Wait and see, then, co on, enough talk. Little sister here wishes you two tycoons an ever-growing business and that you'll always have my back. I toast to both of you."
Qin Ruoying giggled, lifted her glass, and started encouraging them to drink.
Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing were both amused. This kind of toast was quite quirky, and it seed only Qin Ruoying could say sothing like this.
"Clink"
The three glasses touched, and the trio drank it all in one go.
