After Rebirth, I Became the Richest Woman - Chapter 16

Han Qiuzi did not know whether the other woman’s calmness was genuine or an act. In any case, she could not describe how she felt. She only felt that rushing over so eagerly made her look like a fool.

Brisling, she said, “No matter what, I’m about to become a company director. Do I need Miss Yu Qing’s approval to come and take a look?”

“Naturally not,” Yu Qing replied in a formulaic tone. “Do you need me to show Miss Han around?”

Han Qiuzi stood there with her teeth clenched for a while before barely managing to control her emotions. She raised her head and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble Miss Yu Qing.”

Yu Qing tidied up the things on her desk and left with Han Qiuzi.

Ten minutes earlier.

Yu Qing’s mind had been blank for a long while. Suddenly, she stopped working and called Han Qiuzi’s personal bodyguard, Ada.

That bodyguard had once been carefully chosen by Eldest Miss Han for Yu Qing. She had followed Yu Qing for a period of time, did not gossip, and did not meddle in other people’s business. The two of them had gotten along fairly well.

Over the years, Yu Qing would occasionally ask Ada about Han Qiuzi’s recent situation and request that she keep it confidential. As a bodyguard, Ada would not reveal too much to Yu Qing, but she was not stingy about sharing small pieces of news such as “Han Qiuzi caught a cold” or “Han Qiuzi had a stomachache.”

After the call connected, Yu Qing weighed her words for a moment before saying, “Han Qiuzi… and Tang Shikai…” No matter what, she could not say the rest.

“Miss rushed out in a hurry. She just ran two red lights and was speeding. If she isn’t caught by the traffic police, she’ll probably arrive at Yesheng in about ten minutes.” Ada gripped the steering wheel, her gaze never leaving Han Qiuzi’s car, extremely calm and composed. “You should understand her better than anyone. You shouldn’t be asking me that kind of question.”

Ada knew Han Qiuzi had deliberately tried to make Yu Qing misunderstand, but she had spent time with Yu Qing day and night and knew what kind of personality she had. Pushing too hard might backfire.

She hoped her decision to act on her own was not wrong.

Yu Qing hung up the phone and murmured, “That’s right. I should understand her better than anyone.”

A gentle smile gradually appeared at the corners of her lips. She stood up and left the office door open.

Along the way, Han Qiuzi listened as Yu Qing explained which department they were passing by. She was somewhat absent-minded, and her gaze drifted toward Yu Qing’s face from time to time, wanting to see through Yu Qing’s true thoughts. But she gained nothing.

“Am I very good-looking?” Yu Qing turned her head.

“Good-looking.” Han Qiuzi blurted it out without thinking, then immediately regretted it so much her intestines turned green.

In her heart, she thought, Do you have no backbone at all?

Yu Qing smiled. “I think so too.”

Hey, hey! Isn’t that too narcissistic?

Han Qiuzi complained inwardly.

“Don’t do this again in the future. Tang Shikai isn’t a good person. I’ll worry about you.” Yu Qing turned around and gently embraced Han Qiuzi. “Even after breaking up, we can still be friends, can’t we?”

Han Qiuzi’s heart tightened, and her eyes grew hot. How long had it been since Yu Qing last hugged her like this? Five years. That was a very long time.

But the words “even after breaking up, we can still be friends” were somewhat hurtful.

“You have your responsibilities, and I have my mission. Whether or not we’re together, don’t throw childish tantrums, all right?” Yu Qing looked into Han Qiuzi’s eyes and said seriously, “I won’t date anyone else.”

Han Qiuzi’s heart felt terribly sour. She knew this was the greatest compromise Yu Qing could make. She pulled out a smile, nodded, and said, “All right.”

In order to hide her vulnerability, Han Qiuzi turned her head and looked around. “What department is this? Why is there no one here?”

“When you came in just now, didn’t you see the sign that said ‘Under Renovation’?”

Yu Qing suddenly understood. “You were looking at me the whole time just now, so you probably didn’t see it.”

“Yes, I was looking at you the whole time, from the past until now.” Han Qiuzi did not avoid it. Her eyes were filled with a deep love that could not be dissolved.

Yu Qing’s body stiffened for a moment, and she quickly shifted her gaze away. “I’ll take you somewhere else to look.”

After leaving Yesheng Tower, Han Qiuzi suddenly realized that the direction she had been working toward had been wrong. What she should be agonizing over was not whether Yu Qing loved her, but how to make Yu Qing dare to love her without worry.

“I will strengthen my wings as quickly as possible and marry you home sooner. I swear.” Han Qiuzi lifted her head and looked at the clouds in the sky as she murmured.

The more Ye Xinuo read the reports, the angrier she became. In her previous life, she could not understand these things, so she had allowed these people to fool her. Over the past few days, after listening to the quarterly reports and comparing them with the reports from each department, the problems were far from ordinary.

She used the private line to call Yu Qing to her office, and the two of them went together to the finance office of the Xmate Research Center.

Ye Xinuo slammed the financial statements onto the finance director’s desk, her voice and expression stern. “For the funds allocated to user research, fifty percent of the invoices are from five-star hotels. Fine, our researchers can eat better and stay somewhere better. But are karaoke and spas also part of the research? Should our social app also develop a function for ordering girls?!”

“President, please calm down. Don’t harm your health with anger.” The finance director looked as if he did not take Ye Xinuo seriously at all. “You don’t understand this. In order to improve team cohesion, every group has to regularly organize team building. No matter what, Yesheng is a leader in the internet industry. We can’t save money in this area.”

Ye Xinuo laughed aloud. “So according to you, you’re very good at considering the company’s image.”

“Little President Ye, even when the old master was alive, he never said there was anything wrong with our accounts.” The finance director smiled.

“I see.” Ye Xinuo nodded in understanding. “Since you, the finance director, say there’s no problem, then there must be no problem.”

The finance director asked, “Then does Little President Ye have any other instructions?”

“How about this? A good friend’s younger brother hasn’t been able to find a job recently and asked me for help. I see the atmosphere here is quite good, so let him come here and do odd jobs.”

Seeing that she was trying to insert a connection, the finance director gained a bit more confidence.

“However, our department is a very core department. We can’t just support idle people for nothing.”

Ye Xinuo revealed a smile. “Just let him deliver documents, shred paper, and buy coffee. He probably can’t do more complicated work anyway.”

Finance Director: “Then I’ll ask President Wang’s opinion.”

Ye Xinuo clasped her hands together and pleaded, “Just let him stay in the finance office. Don’t let President Wang know. I only just took office, and if I already start using backdoor connections, he’ll definitely be dissatisfied. Please, please.”

The finance director had never seen such a beautiful woman act spoiled toward him before, especially not the group president. He swallowed. “Then… I’ll consider it.”

“Then tomorrow, I’ll have Sister Yu Qing bring that person’s résumé to you.” Ye Xinuo looked at the finance director with expectation. “Don’t make it impossible for me to explain to my friend.”

The finance director swallowed again and said, “All right.”

After leaving, Ye Xinuo sneered. A useless piece of trash blinded by lust.

Yu Qing’s eyes revealed astonishment. She could hardly believe that the person in front of her was Ye Xinuo.

“Sister Yu Qing, I want to walk around alone. You go back first,” Ye Xinuo said.

“All right.” Yu Qing nodded and left with a stack of reports.

Ye Xinuo lowered her head, thinking as she walked toward the rooftop. Suddenly, she bumped into someone.

“Sorry.” She lifted her head, and what appeared before her eyes was Qin Moyan’s enlarged face.
