Chapter 39 -39: Got Stopped_1
“Jingwu, where are you going?” Quan Mingxuan asked seeing Quan Jingwu stand up, “Aren’t you staying here tonight?”
“No, I have plans with Han Yue.” Quan Jingwu looked up at the elderly couple, greeted them and left without looking back.
“Jingwu, you naughty boy…” The grandfather didn’t have time to react, watching Quan Jingwu’s figure walk away, his beard bristling with anger.
What sort of sons have we raised? They rarely come home, and they won’t even stay for one night at the mansion. It’s so heartless.
“Grandpa, don’t be angry. The third brother obviously came back just to get some news about Jian Qing from Feifei.” Quan Mingxuan leaned back on the sofa, smiling leisurely.
Grandpa Quan was stunned, he looked at Quan Mingxuan blankly, “Is Jian Qing really that good? Is the third brother truly smitten with her?”
Quan Mingxuan raised his eyebrows and laughed freely, “Grandpa, you know the third brother’s personality. When has he ever been close to a woman? And when has he peeled shrimp for someone? Aren’t these abnormal behaviors proof enough?”
“Grandpa, Jian Qing is a really good person.” Yifei thought that the grandfather didn’t like Jian Qing, she immediately began to speak up for her, “And she is a perfect match with the third brother.”
“You child, your grandfather didn’t say anything. Why are you so eager to speak for Jian Qing? Do you really like her that much?” Grandma Quan tapped Yifei’s forehead and smiled helplessly.
Feifei pretended to be in pain, clasping her forehead and pouting, “Granny, if you met Jian Qing, you would like her as much as I do. And you haven’t seen the gentleness the third brother shows towards Jian Qing. When I returned to the company, I ran into Shen Hao. He said that as long as Jian Qing is not satisfied with An Yu and the others, they can be kicked out at any time. This is the third brother’s intention.”
The relationships between the aristocratic families in Beijing are complex. An Yu and the others have the backing of the An Family, it would be troublesome to terminate their contract at will. The third brother gave such power to Jian Qing without any hesitation, what does this imply?
It can only mean that her third brother adores his wife without limit. She can imagine how much ‘dog food’ she will need to eat in the future.
Grandma Quan was surprised and became more curious about Jian Qing.
Grandpa Quan listened and pondered, “Jian Qing disappeared for seventeen years and suddenly showed up, she must be targeting the An Family. That old fox An Yi must feel guilty about her and will do everything he can to make it up to her. It seems that the An Family may not have such good days ahead.”
Hearing this, everyone in the living room fell into deep thought. Yifei nibbled on her finger, her small face worried as she thought about Jian Qing.
…
The next day, Jian Qing was awoken early by a series of calls from Yifei. Still groggy, she didn’t even eat breakfast and went out straight away.
Jian Qing looked up at the magnificent high-rise building in front of her. The somewhat dazzling sunlight made her squint slightly, lowering her hat brim to protect her eyes.
She stepped into the building. As it was working hours, office workers in professional clothing were coming and going. Jian Qing’s casual attire made her stand out.
Jian Qing went straight to the reception desk where the receptionist, surprised at Jian Qing’s casual clothes, quickly regained her professional composure.
“Excuse me, how can I assist you?” The receptionist asked politely but firmly.
Jian Qing said, “I’m looking for Yifei, could you please inform her?”
The receptionist still smiled, “I’m sorry, do you have an appointment with Manager Quan?” 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
“No.” Jian Qing shook her head.
“I’m sorry, but without an appointment, I can’t let you go up.” Jian couldn’t quite see Jian Qing’s face under the low hat and the receptionist looked a bit awkward.
Jian Qing took out her cell phone and was about to dial when a voice from behind made her pause.
“Miss Jian!”
Jian Qing put down her phone and looked in the direction of the sound. The man approaching brought back vague memories.
Shen Hao didn’t expect to see Jian Qing here, his curiosity was immediately piqued.
The lady is here; the Boss should be in a good mood today. Maybe if the Boss is pleased, they won’t have to work overtime today.
“Miss Jian, do you remember me?” Shen Hao approached, “The one who brought you and the Boss an umbrella at Qianshi Restaurant.”
Jian Qing nodded, giving a light hum in affirmation.
The receptionist watched the familiarity between Shen Hao and Jian Qing, suddenly worried about her job.
Could this woman be a relative of the CEO’s family?
Would she lose her job for stopping a family member of the CEO?
Seeing the distressed look on the receptionist’s face, Shen Hao turned to Jian Qing and cautiously asked, “Miss Jian, are you looking for the Boss?”
Thinking of those purple eyes, Jian Qing lost herself for a moment, then shook her head gently, “I’m looking for Yifei.”
Shen Hao quickly understood and promptly offered, “Let me take you there.”
“Thank you.” Jian Qing said.
Shen Hao didn’t start leading Jian Qing right away, instead, he went back to the receptionist, “The next time you see this lady, let her directly up without reporting.”
If the Boss knew that company staff had repeatedly stopped his wife from coming upstairs, they would not be able to withstand the storm that would follow.
“Yes.” The receptionist nodded obediently, relieved that she still had her job.
Shen Hao turned around, offering a gesture, “Miss Jian, this way please.”
Jian Qing followed Shen Hao. With him leading the way, she smoothly entered the CEO’s private lift. The employees on the first floor were stunned.
Once the lift doors closed, the receptionist let out a sigh of relief, her body leaning heavily on the desk.
“Hey, who was that? Even Special Assistant Shen was so respectful to her and took her to the CEO’s specific lift.” A curious woman asked from the side.
The woman named Li Jia shook her head, “I’m not sure, probably a relative of the CEO’s family. She said she was looking for Manager Quan. I was scared to death just now; I thought I was going to be fired.”
“Though she was wearing a hat and her face was hard to see, just from a vague side profile, she should be a beauty.” Said another woman.
“Stop gossiping; this place is monitored. If we’re caught talking gossip here, you’ll be fired.” Li Jia warned. The women who had wanted to gossip immediately backed off, returning to their own tasks.
They’re not stupid. The treatment and salary at JK International were among the best. If they lost this job, they would be devastated.
