Chapter 2234: Chapter 38: I Warned You Last Time
Mo Ziye’s business trip schedule remained unchanged.
He simply didn’t insist on Qin Qingqing accompanying him anymore.
When the two of them reached the foot of the mountain, Zhang Minghui had already been waiting for a few minutes.
“Let’s go home for breakfast first, then take me to the airport, and you two can head back to the company, Brother Little Hui. Qingqing starts working today.”
At Mo Ziye’s words, Zhang Minghui looked at Qin Qingqing in surprise.
On the day he picked her up from abroad, she said she didn’t like being constrained.
How had she agreed to return to Haochen to work?
Seeing Zhang Minghui’s gaze, Qin Qingqing smiled gently and said, “Brother Little Hui, I’m not familiar with the company, so I’ll need to trouble you.”
“Qingqing, don’t mention trouble between us, you’re not an outsider. Welcome to Haochen.” Zhang Minghui replied cheerfully.
After speaking, he opened the car door for them to get in.
After breakfast, Zhang Minghui and Qin Qingqing took Mo Ziye to the airport, where a secretary originally scheduled to accompany him was already waiting.
“No need for you to come inside.”
Before getting out of the car, Mo Ziye spoke to Zhang Minghui and Qin Qingqing.
“Brother Ziyi, give us a call when you get there.”
Qin Qingqing hesitated but couldn’t help expressing concern.
Throughout the journey, Mo Ziye hadn’t spoken to her.
She knew he was angry.
Angry that she didn’t want to accompany him on the trip.
Upon hearing this, Mo Ziye nodded slightly and reminded her, “If you’re unfamiliar with the company, find Brother Little Hui. If anyone gives you trouble, tell me.”
“There shouldn’t be any problems.”
Qin Qingqing blinked her eyes.
Mo Ziye said no more, opened the car door, and walked into the airport with large strides.
——
Qin Qingqing was placed as the team leader in the first design department by Mo Ziye’s arrangement.
The previous team leader had been dismissed, no wonder he said to tell him if anyone gave her trouble.
“Qingqing, if you need anything, let me know.”
Zhang Minghui stood in front of Qin Qingqing’s desk, watching her turn on the computer, “Brother Little Hui, has no one used this office before?”
“It’s not that no one has used it, just that not long ago Ziye had me replace all the office items with new ones.”
Zhang Minghui explained with a smile.
At the time, he didn’t know it was for Qin Qingqing.
Even when she returned to the country, Mo Ziye was unwilling to pick her up. Zhang Minghui really couldn’t understand why Mo Ziye would let Qin Qingqing work at Haochen.
And why Qingqing had agreed.
Four years ago, they both clearly…
“Brother Little Hui, you can get busy, I’ll reach out if I need anything.”
Qin Qingqing smiled with satisfaction after testing the computer.
She looked up and said to Zhang Minghui, then lowered her head again.
Zhang Minghui chuckled, seemingly unintentionally asking, “Qingqing, how did Ziye persuade you to come back to work?”
“Brother Ziyi didn’t persuade me.”
Qin Qingqing looked up at him again.
Seeing the confusion on his face, she calmly said, “Brother Ziyi and I made a bet, I lost, so I agreed to come back to work.”
“Have you two reconciled?”
Zhang Minghui looked at her with curiosity, and before Qin Qingqing could answer, he muttered to himself, “Doesn’t seem like it. Just the other day, Ziye left you in S City to accompany Shi Xi back to Imperial City. When I heard about it, I also thought Ziye went too far.”
Qin Qingqing laughed, “Brother Little Hui, coming back to work wasn’t entirely because of that bet with Brother Ziyi. It’s also because I’m one of the company’s top three shareholders.”
——
Since it was her first day at work, Qin Qingqing kept herself busy.
She didn’t go home for lunch, instead eating in the company cafeteria.
Unintentionally overhearing some gossip about herself, Qin Qingqing realized that by midday, she had already become the subject of office rumors.
Returning to her office after lunch, she was surprised to find Shi Xi sitting on her sofa.
Qin Qingqing was startled.
She blinked, stepped out to check the nameplate on the door, and confirmed she hadn’t walked into the wrong office.
Only then did she step inside.
On the sofa, Shi Xi slowly stood up, her eyes filled with hostility as she looked at Qin Qingqing.
Qin Qingqing smirked with a hint of sarcasm, and just as Shi Xi thought she was about to speak,
she walked over to her desk, picked up the phone, and dialed an internal number.
Shi Xi’s expression changed.
Qin Qingqing’s voice sounded clear and cold in the quiet office, “Security? This is Qin Qingqing, please send someone to my office.”
After speaking, she directly dialed the front desk.
At the sofa, Shi Xi’s face turned from white to green, and then back to white.
She quickly moved forward to snatch the phone from Qin Qingqing’s hand.
Fuming, she said, “Qin Qingqing, what right do you have to call security… Ouch… let go of my hand.”
Shi Xi failed to grab the phone, and instead, her wrist was seized by Qin Qingqing.
As Qin Qingqing’s grip tightened, Shi Xi’s expression contorted with pain, “Qin Qingqing, let go of me.”
Her voice wavered, changing.
Qin Qingqing hung up the phone, her eyes cold as ice, with every word asked, “Shi Xi, who gave you the privilege to enter my office at will?”
“I’m Ziyi’s girlfriend…”
“Ha!”
Shi Xi’s words were cut off by Qin Qingqing’s cold laughter.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and as Shi Xi reached out with her other hand, Qin Qingqing shifted her weight slightly, increasing the pressure on Shi Xi’s wrist by another notch.
The room echoed with Shi Xi’s scream.
Qin Qingming’s tone suddenly turned sharp, “Shi Xi, I warned you last time, if you want to be with Brother Ziyi, don’t bother me. Did you think I was just saying it casually, or do you think just because he accompanied you to Imperial City, you can use his influence to bully me?”
“Let me go first.”
Outside, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” Qin Qingqing said, and two security guards along with the receptionist appeared at the door.
Seeing the situation inside the office, all three were taken aback.
Shi Xi was both embarrassed and furious, but with her wrist held by Qin Qingqing, she couldn’t escape nor fight back.
She could only endure the humiliation!
“Miss Qin?!”
The security guard’s voice came hesitantly from the door.
Though Qin Qingqing had been abroad for four years, the company’s old employees still recognized her.
Moreover, she was now one of the top three shareholders in the company.
But Shi Xi was the CEO’s girlfriend.
Facing this situation, the security guards were unsure whether to proceed or what to do.
Qin Qingqing released Shi Xi’s hand.
Ignoring the two steps Shi Xi stumbled back due to inertia and her pained, twisted expression, Qin Qingqing turned to the security guards, “Please escort her out of my office.”
“Yes, Miss Qin.”
The two security guards exchanged a glance and answered respectfully.
They then turned to face Shi Xi, whose face was changing colors, and approached her together.
“Out!”
Before they could reach her or speak, Shi Xi poured her anger, filled with the desire to kill Qin Qingqing, onto the two guards.
She then spat at Qin Qingqing through gritted teeth, “Qin Qingqing, you lunatic. If you don’t want to become a shameless third party, stop clinging to Ziyi.”
Then, with a stomping of her high heels, she stormed out of the office herself.
