Chapter Sixteen: Deputy Director Qiu

  That's the difference between smart and stupid people. If Dong Jiayun had received this call, she would have definitely blown up and scolded wildly.

  As expected, Dong Jiayun heard him say that and immediately reached out to pinch the flesh on his waist. Qiu Renzhan suddenly glared at her with anger in his eyes, Dong Jiayun was startled and immediately lost her temper, weakly withdrawing her hand. She had been with him for so many years and knew that when discussing serious matters, if she dared to fool around, he would not hesitate to give her a few slaps.

  "Haha!" On the other end of the phone, Qiao An Tian's laughter came through: "Director Qiu is too polite, I just found out about this matter too, and my daughter's handling of it was also inappropriate. I hope Director Qiu won't take it to heart!"

  "Nonsense! A tiger father has no weak daughter, General Manager Qiao is a well-known female strongman in our Donghai, I've long heard of her style of doing things, she's absolutely not a person who acts unreasonably." Quan Renzhan chuckled and seemed not to be angry about the little wife at all.

  The two exchanged pleasantries on the phone, and Qiao An suddenly got to the point: "Director Qiu, are you free this afternoon? It's been a long time since we last met, I'd like to pay my respects to your parents!"

  Qiu Ren raised an eyebrow, a smile spreading across his eyes. This Qiao An Tian was indeed sensible, saying he came to visit his parents-in-law, but in reality, he wanted to make amends for expelling his younger sister-in-law. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, a big boss like him wouldn't have the leisure time to visit a mere deputy director like himself; what matter couldn't be resolved by finding the director?

  "Director Qiao is being polite, it's my younger aunt who has caused trouble for your company, so I should be the one to come and apologize. How about this? Director Qiao, if you have time, I'll go over right now." said Ju Renzhan sincerely.

  It's not that he wants to lower his status, but rather that a big boss like Qiao An Tian is too eye-catching. If he really runs to the police station to find himself, it will attract a lot of attention. What's important is that he knows Qiao An Tian had some trouble yesterday and might still have killers lurking around, so it's indeed inconvenient to run around randomly. Since they want to give him benefits, he can't be impolite either.

  Qiao An Tian didn't dwell on the topic either and nodded, saying: "Alright, I'll have Assistant Ning wait for you at the parking lot."

  Dong Jiayun had been eavesdropping with her ears perked up, and when she saw Qiu Ren hang up the phone, she immediately let out a cold snort and stood up: "They're scared now! Let's go, I want Qiao Yun to apologize to me in front of everyone, otherwise they'll be sorry." Her arrogant attitude was back again.

  Qiu Ren's face suddenly turned black, looking at the woman's eyes like a fool, coldly said: "Where are you going?"

  Dong Jiayun's face was filled with surprise as she said, "Isn't Qiao An Tian already yielding? They slapped my face, so I must slap back, otherwise how can I stand firm in the Ming Hua Group in the future?"

  "Do you still want to go back to work at Minghua Group?"

  "Where else can I go if not to Ming Hua Group? That position of General Manager can't be handed over to someone else!"

  "Do you want Qiao Yun to apologize to you in front of everyone?"

  "With you backing me up, would she dare not apologize and compensate?" Dong Jiayun said with a matter-of-fact expression.

  "Do you know who Qiao Yun is?"

  "Isn't he just the general manager of Minghua Group? Still relying on having a good father, if I had such a father, I would also make him a general manager."

  Qiu Renxian stood up with a cold smile, staring at her and saying slowly: "Qiao Yun is known as the number one beauty in Donghai, driving a large group company with a market value of over 100 billion. She is young and promising, calling the wind and rain in the business world, and is a well-known female strong person in Donghai. She is the only heir to Qiao An Tian's family fortune, and I don't know how many wealthy young men from the political, military, and business worlds have set their sights on her. If she really wants to put aside her pride, her influence would be even greater than Qiao An Tian's. If she were to spread rumors to deal with me, I don't know how many people would be willing to come out and curry favor with her. At that time, we wouldn't even know how to die. Do you still want to compare with her? Her fart is worth more than you, what do you have to compare with?"

  Dong Jiayun was scolded by him until she was stunned, and it took her a long time to react. Although she didn't take other words to heart, the last two sentences made her extremely stimulated. Pointing at Qiu Renzhan with a trembling body, she said: "You say that someone else's fart is more valuable than me? Qiu Renzhan, do you still have any conscience? In the past, when you got me into bed, you said I was the most beautiful woman in the world. Now that I'm old, are you tired of me? Waaah... I served you on the bed and gave birth to your children under the bed, doing all sorts of things that can't be seen by others. Now you think I'm not even as good as someone else's fart? Why am I so unlucky?"

  The more they talked, the uglier it sounded, and Zou Renzhan really couldn't listen to it anymore. He turned his head and left, too lazy to bother with her.

  "Alright, you with the surname Qiu, you're not being kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous." Dong Jiayun sobbed and took out her phone, dialed a number and wailed loudly: "Xiao Liang! Mom is being bullied, mom doesn't want to live anymore..."

  "Mom! What's wrong? Where are you?"

  Qiu Renzhan's whole body trembled as he walked to the door, and he was suddenly stabbed in the soft ribs. He quickly ran back, snatched her phone and hung up, so angry that he didn't know what to say. But the hung-up call came back immediately, and the phone's ringtone kept ringing nonstop.

  Looking at the name on the phone screen, Qiu Renzhan took a deep breath and patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Jia Yun, I was just angry that you didn't understand, so I said some unpleasant words. Don't you really know my intentions towards you and your mother? Don't worry! I'll take responsibility for this matter, listen to me!"

  Dong Jiayun raised her head with tears in her eyes and choked: "Really?"

  Qiu Ren nodded, handing the phone that had been ringing non-stop back to her. His tone suddenly turned stern again, and he said in a severe voice: "You'd better discipline Xiao Liang well and don't let him mix with those riffraff from society. If I run into him again next time, don't blame me for being impolite!"

  "Oh!" Dong Jiayun obediently responded, she was unmoved by his words, but somehow she fell for it. Deep down, she liked that Qiu Renzhan was taking care of her and her mother as the head of the household, only at times like these did she feel that Qiu Renzhan truly cared about her, rather than his mistress.

  Qiu Renzhan let out a cold snort and strode away. Dong Jiayun followed closely behind him, seeing him off at the door as he drove away, with a blissful expression on her face...

  Ning Lan, who had been waiting for a long time in the parking lot, finally waited for Qiu Renzhan and led him into the company's high-level dedicated elevator, where there were no surveillance cameras.

  "Director Qiu, please!" Ning Lan pushed open the door of the chairman's office.

  Qiu Renzhan smiled and nodded, as soon as he entered, he saw Qiao Antian actively stretching out his hand from behind the office desk to welcome him, and he also stretched out his hand to quickly welcome him.

  "Rare guest! Please sit down quickly."

  "Director Qiao is being polite, I'm here to apologize and take responsibility for my mistake. Ah, that no-good little aunt of mine... Ah! She's caused trouble for Director Qiao."

  Two people sat on the sofa, their words and actions more hypocritical than each other, speaking empty pleasantries but with an air of seriousness. Ning Lan quickly made them a cup of tea, placed a ashtray, then closed the door and left.

  Qiao An Tian was not here to chat idly, after some brief pleasantries, he offered a cigarette and got straight to the point: "Director Qiu, I've already understood the situation, it's necessary for me to report to you."

  "I won't be able to take it, I won't be able to take it. I know my little aunt's character clearly, General Manager Qiao definitely wouldn't fire her for no reason..." Jiuzi Ruzhang waved his hand repeatedly, but he also leaned in with a listening expression, wanting to know what was going on and how different it was from what the stupid women said to Dong Jia Yun.

  Qiao An Tian smiled and said slowly: "Director Qiu should know what happened to me on my way to Ming Hua Mountain Villa yesterday."

  Qiu Ren's eyes widened in surprise, and the cigarette that was about to enter his mouth froze. He suddenly turned around and said, "Could it be that my little aunt is related to what happened yesterday?"

  He couldn't help but feel a thrill of fear, if that stupid woman was really related to yesterday's incident, then the trouble would be big, and he suspected that Qiao An Tian invited him not to compensate, but to settle accounts.

  "That's not the case." Qiao An Tian shook his head and smiled, "Because of yesterday's incident, I gave stricter instructions to the Security Department. Coincidentally, today the monitoring system in the hall malfunctioned, so the Security Department couldn't be negligent and had to conduct a strict security check. Unfortunately, when the Security Department staff were persuading the hall's customer service staff, Director Dong happened to come for an inspection and met them. Seeing that the Security Department was interfering with her area of responsibility, she might not have been too pleased..."

  Qiu Renzhan's face was slightly dark, and he could imagine Dong Jiayun's ignorant reaction.

  "Of course, the staff of the Security Department may not have noticed the way they spoke, which made Director Dong furious, and even took action against the security personnel. Unfortunately, that employee was not an ordinary guard, but someone I had specially arranged to come through connections, holding a deputy minister position in the Security Department, actually only responsible for my father's and daughter's safety. He didn't know Director Dong's background, and unexpectedly used an electric baton to stun Director Dong and lock him up. This matter immediately shocked my little girl into personally going to handle it, but Director Dong... Ah! If Director Dong had been truthful, it wouldn't have mattered, my little girl would still have taken Director Dong's side out of respect for Director Qiu, naturally biased towards Director Dong. But she absolutely shouldn't have distorted the truth, causing a scene that ended with the release of the surveillance video from the great hall, which differed somewhat from what she had said, almost making my little girl lose face in front of all the employees, and having to deal with her... I really owe Director Qiu an apology!" Ge An Tian's face was full of regret.

  It turned out to be like this! Qiu Renzhan smoked silently, while Dong Jiayun didn't say anything else to him, but said that she was bullied by the security department of Minghua Group and even locked up, and unexpectedly, Qiao Yun not only didn't give her face, but also fired her.

  Qiu Renzhan didn't quite believe it at the time, but now that Qiao Antian has said so, he realizes just how arrogant that stupid woman is. He thinks that since Qiao Antian invited him over, even if there's some bias in what he says, it probably won't be too far from the truth.
