Chapter 30

“I dreamed of you just now, and my heart hurts so much.”

Seeing the wounded expression Han Qiuzi revealed, Yu Qing felt a stabbing pain in her heart. She very much wanted to disregard everything and pull her into her arms, but the words Han Jingjin had spoken five years ago seemed to still be echoing beside her ear, clear and audible.

She reached out and touched the hair on top of Han Qiuzi’s head. “I’m still your friend. No matter what you encounter—”

The hospital room door was suddenly opened. The person who came in happened to be Han Qiuzi’s father.

The instant Yu Qing heard the sound, she reflexively withdrew her hand. So what the newcomer saw at that moment was only Yu Qing standing beside the bed with both hands hanging at her sides.

“Mr. Han.” Yu Qing was the first to greet him, not a trace of abnormality on her face.

The moment Han Jingjin saw Yu Qing, his movements slowed for an instant, but he immediately returned to normal, and no one noticed.

“My precious daughter, are you all right?” He nodded perfunctorily at Yu Qing, then cast a concerned gaze toward Han Qiuzi.

“I’m fine, Daddy.” Han Qiuzi pulled a weak smile onto her pale face.

“You still say you’re fine? Your face is this pale, and your arm is injured so badly.” Han Jingjin frowned. “After you’re discharged, come home and stay there so Aunt Chen can take care of you.”

“It’s only a small injury. Daddy, don’t be nervous.” Han Qiuzi curved her eyes. “When I was little, who knows how many times I fell?”

“That’s right! You were a little monkey from childhood!” Han Jingjin lightly tapped his daughter’s head with a finger.

“Daddy, this is Miss Yu. She came with President Ye from Yesheng to visit me.” Han Qiuzi’s face showed not the slightest flaw, as if the person who had revealed vulnerability before Yu Qing just now had not been her.

“Hello.” Han Jingjin smiled very naturally.

“Hello, Chairman Han.” Yu Qing also smiled very appropriately.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Ye Xinuo and Special Assistant Li Qing returned to the ward.

“Uncle Han.” Ye Xinuo had met Han Jingjin several times at social events. Although the relationship between the two families was not particularly close, they were still partners after all, so the way she addressed him was naturally a little more intimate.

“Xinuo is here.” Han Jingjin smiled kindly. “I haven’t seen you in some time. Xinuo is bailiantales.combecoming more and more beautiful.”

“Thank you, Uncle.” Ye Xinuo lightly covered her lips and nose with one hand and put on a standard social smile.

“Xinuo took time out of such a busy schedule to come see Xiaozi. Uncle thanks you on her behalf.”

“Uncle, you’re too polite. Qiuzi is now also one of Yesheng’s directors. It’s only right.” Ye Xinuo turned toward Han Qiuzi. “Then Qiuzi, rest and recover well. I still have something to do later, so I’ll come visit you another day.”

“All right. Take care, Xinuo.” Han Qiuzi turned her head on the bed to say goodbye.

Ye Xinuo and Yu Qing politely greeted the people in the ward one by one, then left together.

Whether it was enemies meeting on a narrow road or fate decreed by heaven, on the elevator ride down, the elevator Ye Xinuo was in stopped again at the floor Qin Moyan was on. There were many people in the hospital, and Qin Moyan was pushed into the elevator by the crowd.

“Ah!” Ye Xinuo was caught off guard by the sudden flow of people. Her feet failed to steady themselves, and just as she thought she was about to fall, an arm firmly caught her.

After they came out of the elevator, Ye Xinuo blurted out, “Are you following me? Why do I always run into you?”

Qin Moyan smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes. “Does Miss [Read on BaiLianTales]Ye not know that when you accept someone else’s help, you should first say thank you?”

“Th… thank you.”

Ye Xinuo thanked her unwillingly, then said with a trace of schadenfreude in her tone, “Is Director Qin sick?”

“I came to visit a friend.”

After answering, Qin Moyan showed no intention of continuing the conversation and said goodbye. “I have something to do, so I’ll leave first. Goodbye, Miss Ye.”

Before Ye Xinuo could even say her own farewell, the person in front of her had already walked away quickly, leaving her standing there with her mouth open, forcing her to swallow back the words already at the tip of her tongue.

“What kind of person is that!” Ye Xinuo said angrily. “Sister Yu Qing, don’t you think she’s far too impolite?”

Awkwardly, Yu Qing was staring blankly into space, thinking about her own matters, completely unaware of what Ye Xinuo had said.

Ye Xinuo: “…” She really should have checked the almanac before leaving the house today.

She patiently waited for Yu Qing’s wandering spirit to return before speaking again. “Sister Yu Qing, you don’t need to come with me to handle matters later. I’ll call Xu stolen contentXiao over. You go back and rest. Your complexion doesn’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, no.” Yu Qing shook her head. “I don’t need to rest.”

“Stop forcing yourself. Your face is so pale, and your lips are purple. Are you anemic? Your attention isn’t focused either. Could your cranial nerves be damaged? Since we’re already at the hospital, why don’t I push back this afternoon’s matters and accompany you for a physical examination?” Ye Xinuo spoke in an extremely exaggerated way, practically wishing she could make Yu Qing think she had a terminal illness.

“I really am fine. I probably just haven’t slept well these past two days. I’ll go back and rest for a bit.” Yu Qing did not realize that she had somehow been forced to retreat one step.

“All right then.” Ye Xinuo furrowed her brows, appearing as though she had made a compromise. “Then Xu Xiao can also accompany me to the seven o’clock business dinner tonight. You stay home and rest properly today.”

Yu Qing sighed. She knew Ye Xinuo’s personality of saying one thing and meaning it absolutely, so she could only helplessly answer, “All right.”

“Speaking of which, Uncle Han should also be going to the dinner tonight. I forgot about that just now. Out of courtesy, I should have said I’d see him tonight.” Ye Xinuo looked very annoyed with herself.

Yu Qing comforted her, “I believe Chairman Han isn’t that narrow-minded. Don’t take it too much to heart.”

“Sigh, in any case, it’s too late to regret it now.” Ye Xinuo let out a breath. “Then I’ll go first.”

“Mm. Bye-bye.” Yu Qing watched Ye Xinuo get into the car.

After the driver closed the door, he returned to the driver’s seat and drove away from the hospital.

As soon as Ye Xinuo got into the car, she made a call.

“Brother Sen, please help me find out who Qin Moyan met at the Municipal Hospital this afternoon.”

“Mm, the other party’s information, and the time of the meeting.”

“All right.”

Han Qiuzi had been hospitalized, and Qin Moyan also happened to appear at the hospital. Ye Xinuo did not think it was a coincidence. Her intuition told her there was some connection between the two matters.

Ye Xinuo brought Xu Xiao to Siqin Education. This was a company under Yesheng that did online courses.

The receptionist sat there lazily painting her nails. The smell of nail polish was extremely pungent.

When Ye Xinuo walked over, the receptionist did not react at all and continued minding her own business.

Knock, knock, knock. Ye Xinuo tapped the front desk with her knuckles.

The receptionist raised her head and glanced at Ye Xinuo, then slowly capped the nail polish before standing up. “Who are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for your President Qin,” Ye Xinuo answered without showing any emotion.

“Do you have an appointment?” The receptionist’s tone was somewhat impatient.

Xu Xiao covered his eyes and turned his head elsewhere. He could already foresee this young girl’s tragic end.

“Yes.” Ye Xinuo looked at her watch. “Two forty-five in the afternoon. Ye Xinuo.”

The receptionist pretended to tap a few words on the computer, then tossed Ye Xinuo a visitor registration form. “Fill this out first.”

Ye Xinuo did not get angry. She picked up the pen nearby and filled it out item by item.

At this point, fifteen minutes had already passed since she walked out of the elevator.

Ye Xinuo handed the A4 sheet to the receptionist and smiled patiently. “May I now go see President Qin?”

The receptionist glanced at the visitor registration form, then handed it back to Ye Xinuo. “You didn’t fill in your workplace.”

Ye Xinuo said nothing and casually made up a company name before handing it back.

“Follow me.” This time, the receptionist did not even look at it before inserting the paper into a folder.

On the way to the general manager’s office, they passed through an office area. Everyone was focused intently on their computers, looking like they were working seriously. But upon closer inspection, many of their desktops had built-in computer games open: Minesweeper, FreeCell, Spider Solitaire, Pinball windows.

Xu Xiao sweated for these people. Being caught red-handed by the group’s biggest boss—their futures were worrying!

Ye Xinuo’s expression did not change, and a smile still hung at the corner of her mouth.

A few male employees saw such a great beauty come into the company, and their eyes lit up. When they met Ye Xinuo’s gaze, they even grinned at her.

The receptionist led Ye Xinuo to the door of the [unauthorized copy]general manager’s office, knocked, said, “President Qin, you have visitors,” and then turned and left, without even pouring Ye Xinuo a glass of water.

Ye Xinuo opened the door and entered. She walked to Qin Fen’s desk, her voice revealing no emotion. “President Qin truly is a very busy person.”

When Qin Fen looked up and saw that the big boss had come, he hurriedly stood up to welcome her. “Hello, President Ye. Please sit over here. What wind has blown you here?”

Ye Xinuo sat down on the reception sofa, crossed her legs, and smiled faintly. “Does President Qin not feel that the northwest wind has been very strong in the company lately?”

“Northwest wind?” Qin Fen was completely confused. “I haven’t felt it. We’re on the twenty-second floor here, so wind doesn’t get in easily.”

Xu Xiao held his forehead and thought, I think this brother is pretty two-bit.

“Is that so?” Ye Xinuo’s face slowly darkened. “Then it seems President Qin still hasn’t drunk enough northwest wind.”

No matter how slow Qin Fen’s reactions were, he knew the big boss was probably angry now. He immediately stood up straight and said nervously, “May I ask what instructions President Ye has?”

Ye Xinuo’s words carried thorns. “I wouldn’t dare give instructions. I came without an appointment and was worried I might be stopped by the receptionist. It seems I worried too much.”

“Our receptionist girl is quite easygoing.” Qin Fen grinned. stolen content “Besides, even if she stopped anyone else, she couldn’t possibly stop President Ye.”

Xu Xiao could not help sighing inwardly. Just how had this guy become general manager? What kind of family background did one need to rely on to climb to this position with a pig brain like this?

Even Ye Xinuo could not help laughing aloud. She also wanted to know which lucky mascot this President Qin was reincarnated from. He was so round, with not a single useful piece of flesh on him. How had he managed to sit in this position?

“Everyone says I speak in an interesting way. I didn’t expect to make President Ye laugh so quickly. It’s truly my honor.” Qin Fen smiled very festively. “The young women and men outside are also very happy every day.”

Xu Xiao glanced at the mountain of documents piled on President Qin’s desk and silently drew a cross for this brother in his heart. He thought, If I had such a good boss who did all the work himself and let his subordinates slack off to their hearts’ content, I’d be happy every day too.

Unlike Xu Xiao, who only thought these things inwardly, Ye Xinuo nodded, a smile overflowing on her face. “If I were your employee, I would be just as happy.”
