Chapter 3

The crowd burst into laughter, and Qin Liangliang coolly replied, "Hmm, 110"

The afterglow of the setting sun filtered through the thin window curtains into Ji Changfeng's spacious office, which was decorated in a grand and minimalist style. The large floor-to-ceiling windows offered a view of the bustling streets below, alongside towering skyscrapers. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back at the window, as if observing from a god-like perspective, watching people struggle and drift in this first-tier city.

The receptionist let out a light scoff and turned her head, ignoring her. Qin Liang sneered and bent down to pick up the thermos cup from the ground. She had never been a pushover and would not tolerate anyone bullying her family. Thinking of her mother who had just left in a fit of anger, it was even more so. After all, if her usually mild-mannered mother could throw the cup, it was clear that she was extremely upset. Unconsciously, she clenched her fists and said, "What did my mom just say?"

Qin Nan gently patted her back to help her calm down and asked, "What happened?"

Although Qin Liang is not considered tall, her figure is a standard S-shape, with a prominent front and a lifted back, which is the only aspect that Xin Qi envies about Qin Liang

There is a new intern in the office, and I thought I would strike up a conversation to get to know her better, but unexpectedly, my attempt at flattery backfired: "Sister Li, you really love to joke. I don't think Sister Qi weighs 150 pounds; at most, she weighs 110 pounds."

After a brief moment of silence, Xin Qi waved a magazine in front of Qin Liang, saying, "Look quickly, the cover of this issue features him!" Without even raising his head, Qin Liang already knew who Xin Qi was referring to.

Qin Liang let out a cold laugh, "I will teach your unprofessional employees a lesson." The receptionist wiped away a tear and said intermittently, "I am so sorry." Just as Qin Liang was about to speak, he heard Ji Changfeng say淡淡的, "It is my fault for not explaining it clearly to them."

Ji Changfeng's cold-blooded ruthlessness was not developed overnight. Many people may appear fierce and intimidating, but that is merely built upon the suffering of others. A person who can be ruthless to themselves is the one who is truly heartless. Everyone in the circle is well aware of Ji Changfeng's merciless nature, and everyone tries to avoid him whenever possible

The assistant pushed the door open and said: "Mr. Ji, Madam's mother is having a dispute with the front desk in the lobby"

That period was indeed the most difficult time; now Qin Nan has finally emerged from it, and Qin Liang has married a wealthy husband. It seems that all the hardships Mei Wenfang endured back then have finally paid off

Alright, this matter is in the hands of Changfeng. Do not forcefully involve others; the employees love to speculate all day long. We are constantly discussing what our colleague Wang from the department has to do with the chairman.

Qin's mother put down the phone in a hurry, saying: "Oh dear, I won't talk anymore, I will deliver it to him first"

Mei Wenfang was taken aback and shook his head

Qin Liang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized: "They might not be here! Mom!"

Qin Liang smiled: "Isn't it because I am worried about you? Come on, it's not a big deal, is it necessary to be so angry?"

Mei Wenfang seemed somewhat impatient and said in an unfriendly tone: "Do the items meant for your general manager still need to be shown to you?"

The receptionist was taken aback, and Qin Liang continued, "Or are you saying that you are already familiar enough with General Manager Ji to have a grasp on his private life? If that is the case, why not give General Manager Ji a call to ask if he is married? Or is it that when you call, he simply does not answer? That makes sense, as calls cannot get through to the general manager's office."

In fact, Xin Qi is not overweight; her figure is a perfect nine-head proportion. The only flaw is that she lacks a waist, having a barrel-shaped body.

She slammed the thermos in her hand onto the ground, and her anger surged rapidly, her voice trembling slightly: "I want to see Ji Changfeng!"

As the two were talking, Qin Liang also returned, holding her thermos cup in her hand. "Mom, this cup is extremely expensive, why did you throw it away?"

Qin Liang was annoyed by her repeated calls of "Your Highness" and, feeling lethargic, glanced over and replied, "This palace understands, you may leave now"

The Tang concubine was covered quite thoroughly, but Mei Wenfang truly despised the role of the mistress that she played. Upon hearing the other party's question, Mei Wenfang was genuinely infuriated this time

The assistant quickly came back up and said, "Mr. Ji, she has already left."

The receptionist's expression immediately fell, and she frowned as she said, "General Manager Ji is in a meeting, please wait on the side for a moment."

However, there was one person who had been competing with him since childhood, Ji Changfeng's older brother, Ji Yilin. They competed for toys and for first place during their school years, and as they grew older, the competition intensified, involving projects, land, and so on, both of them tacitly understanding this rivalry

When Mei Wenfang married Qin Nan, the family's financial situation was still quite difficult. At that time, Qin Nan's father, Qin Wengen, was still in debt. Qin Nan was working in a factory, and he handed over his entire monthly salary to Qin Wengen to pay off the debts. The couple relied entirely on Mei Wenfang's meager income. At that time, Mei Wenfang's younger brother, Mei Sheng, was still in university, and his living expenses were all provided by Mei Wenfang. Mei Wenfang also had an older brother who contributed nothing during the family's most challenging times, spending his days dreaming of winning the grand prize in the lottery.

Mei Wenfang sat down heavily, causing the sofa to sink immediately: "I didn't even get to see the surface! I was laughed at the whole time!"

Qin Liang said lightly: "I have seen it."

What a trivial matter? Did you not see Tang—" Qin Nan nudged her, signaling her to be quiet

Bang

The receptionist's eyes suddenly turned red as she looked at Qin Liang with a sense of grievance, and the surroundings fell silent. Ji Changfeng, with his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, looked at them with a cold gaze and asked, "What are you doing?"

Oh, right. Xin Qi also has another identity as a die-hard fan of Lin Xiaoyang, a popular young star in the entertainment industry. Qin Liang did not lift his head, focusing on his work, while Xin Qi persisted: "Your Highness, take a look, just take a look, he is so handsome—Your Highness—"

Ji Changfeng rubbed his aching temples, furrowed his brows slightly, and said calmly, "You go down and bring her up."

Qin Liang casually turned his head to glance at her while flipping through the documents in his hand. Before she could speak, Xu Li lightly scoffed, "Qiqi, can you guarantee that your weight won't go back to 150 jin?"

Finally getting rid of this annoying person, Qin Liang let out a sigh of relief and then received a call from his mother, "Liang Liang, I can't find the Huancheng Building at the address you sent me for Changfeng last time. How do I get there?"

Mei Wenfang took a big gulp of water and then spoke at length about the origins and developments of the situation, after which she harshly criticized Ji Changfeng. Qin Nan patted her on the shoulder and said, "A tall tree catches the wind; you haven't even seen him yet you vented your anger. How embarrassed must Changfeng feel?"

The receptionist, while scrolling through Weibo, looked up and asked, "What is it?"

Knock knock

What did he say

I made some soup to send to Changfeng, wait a moment—I've seen it. " Qin's mother's voice was somewhat breathless, "It's really something, I couldn't see such a large stone tablet.

She placed the stainless steel thermos aside and said, "I am the mother-in-law of General Manager Ji. Please contact him immediately; I cannot reach him on his mobile phone."

The receptionist fixed her gaze on the swaying figure of Miss Tang and said to Mei Wenfang, "Did you see that Miss Tang? She specially came over to see our General Manager Ji while filming in another city, ah—" The receptionist exclaimed, "You can't be Miss Tang's mother, can you?"

Qin Qi's cheeks suddenly flushed red, and she exclaimed, "Sister Li! If you don't speak, no one will take you for a mute!"

Mei Wenfang, holding a thermos, inquired at the front desk: "Miss, hello. May I ask which office General Manager Ji Changfeng is in?"

Qin Liang shivered all over, "Mom, where are you going?"

The thermos cup fell with a sound, emitting a broken wail, and the soup splashed entirely, just right onto the front desk staff.

Ah—Mom!" Qin's mother hung up the phone without a word. Qin Liang hurriedly dialed Ji Changfeng's mobile phone, but no one answered, and she didn't know the office number. Flustered, she sat at her desk anxiously, then quickly picked up her phone and rushed outside: "Qiqi, please help me request a leave this afternoon."

Mei Wenfang turned her head and said, "Why did you go too?"

She was slightly taken aback and smiled, saying, "Alright, since President Ji has spoken, if you continue to cry, it would be me bullying you." After saying this, she turned and walked out without even looking at Ji Changfeng. Indeed, if a woman does not love herself, who else will love her

Xinqi pouted her lips, let out a hum, and walked back to her seat, cradling the magazine as if it were a treasure.

The receptionist was momentarily taken aback, covering her mouth with a smile and saying, "Auntie, it seems you are quite anxious; our General Manager Ji is still unmarried." The people around her looked at her with a hint of mockery, while Mei Wenfang's expression gradually darkened, her brows furrowing tightly.

If you do not have an appointment, please wait aside, thank you

Qin Liang was taken aback and, with a twinge of conscience, said: "What else can be said? Just gave a little reprimand."

Perhaps the noise here caught everyone's attention, as the elevator doors opened and a woman with exquisite makeup, wearing sunglasses and stepping briskly in 12 cm high heels, walked over. Mei Wenfang looked at her and felt she looked somewhat familiar, and after a while, she finally remembered that this was the second female lead, Tang Fei, from the film "Divorce"

Qin Liang's eyes gradually turned cold as he spoke each word clearly: "Do you not understand Mandarin, or do you not understand human language?"

Qin Nan saw Mei Wenfang returning in a huff and asked, "What happened—did delivering a soup make you this upset? Is he not there?"

Xinqi's indifferent attitude completely infuriated Qin Liang, who turned away and no longer paid her any attention. Xinqi seemed to be intrigued, and as she spoke, she became somewhat excited: "Your Highness, do you think I would make a good model?"

Shouting diligently: "110? Be careful, I will call 110 to report you for defamation!"

After waiting for approximately an hour and a half, Mei Wenfang had beads of fine sweat on his forehead and, feeling somewhat anxious, asked: "Where is the office of your general manager? I have some items to deliver to him."

Mei Wenfang noticed that she was also unhappy, and even omitted the honorifics, probably feeling somewhat upset

Ji Changfeng nodded, continuing to lower his head to look at the report, while the exquisite men's watch on Wan's wrist sparkled with dazzling starlight

Qin Nan also understood Mei Wenfang's temperament; when she was angry, she would say anything, but the next day, everything would surely be fine

Mei Wenfang remained silent for a long time before asking again: "Have you seen him?"

The receptionist glanced at her lightly and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

Mei Wenfang snorted, "He is embarrassed? I am the one who is embarrassed!"

The receptionist disdainfully remarked, "Dream on, claiming to be the mother-in-law of General Manager Ji."

Mei Wenfang stood to one side holding a thermos, while the clock in the hall ticked away. Mei Wenfang kept opening the lid to check the temperature, fearing that it would cool down.

When Qin Liang arrived, he inquired with the people around and learned about the farce that had just occurred. He politely apologized to the front desk clerk, saying, "I am sorry. Would you like to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

The assistant hesitated and looked at Ji Changfeng, then took out something from his pocket and handed it over, "This is what Miss Tang left behind." Ji Changfeng did not raise his head, and with an expressionless face said, "Mm, just put it down."
