Chapter 359 - 352: A Huge Mess of Dog Blood IX
At the dinner table, Qi Hui was very gracious and considerate, attending to each person present.
"Uncle Leng, welcome back!" Qi Hui stood up, raised her wine glass with both hands, and bowed slightly with respect, "I toast to you!"
A small glass of white wine was slowly consumed by Qi Hui, demonstrating her drinking capacity while maintaining an elegant posture, clearly a child with perfect manners.
Leng Liewei graciously picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and put it down. "How long have you worked at Huamei? What’s your current position?"
Qi Hui smiled sweetly, "I’ve been working at Huamei for almost five years now, currently as the manager of the marketing department."
"Not bad, a promising child indeed!" Leng Liewei nodded toward Old Qi, "You’ve raised a good daughter!"
Old Qi chuckled, looking proud. Gazing at his daughter, his face grew increasingly smug. His daughter was quite outstanding in every aspect, and bringing her today was to make her familiar to Leng Liewei, wouldn’t it be smooth sailing at Huamei in the future?
Old Qi’s focus was entirely on Qi Hui’s future at Huamei, but Qi Hui had different thoughts. She went all out to impress Leng Liewei, aiming to show she was worthy of Leng Yichen. However, with Leng Liewei’s lukewarm reaction now, Qi Hui felt it still needed a push!
"Uncle Leng, speaking of which, your current daughter-in-law used to work under me."
Qi Hui’s words successfully caught Leng Liewei’s attention, his hawk-like eyes turning to Qi Hui, "Bai Yiran used to work at Huamei?"
"Yes, she was in the administrative department. At that time, she had some conflicts with the administration manager, and Mr. Leng then dismissed the manager. Later, since the marketing department often liaised with the administration department, I temporarily oversaw the administration department, and Bai Yiran became a member under my supervision."
Qi Hui’s words were quite skillful, bypassing the cause, process, and reason, going straight to the result.
Listening to Qi Hui’s words, Leng Liewei’s expression changed slightly. Keeping personal and professional matters separate was a rule set during his time managing Huamei, to avoid unnecessary trouble and ensure the company functioned well. Huamei always prohibited relatives and family from working there, and when Leng Yichen took over, he enforced the rule even more thoroughly, repeatedly turning down Yu Bin’s attempts to join Huamei.
Unexpectedly, Leng Yichen broke the rule when it came to Bai Yiran. Although being in the administrative department, a supporting role, it was still a direct department of the company.
Moreover, Leng Yichen was mixing personal and professional matters, dismissing the administration manager simply because Bai Yiran didn’t like him?
Indeed, Bai Yiran is a femme fatale!
Seeing Leng Liewei silent, Qi Hui knew her words had the desired effect. Thus, she pushed further, "Ah, actually, I shared an office with Yiran for some time, she’s truly a good person. I really don’t understand why such reports came out recently, I genuinely feel sorry for Yiran, wouldn’t you agree, Uncle Leng?"
"News?" Leng Liewei looked at Qi Hui, "What news?"
"About the news that came out recently about Yiran being unable to conceive and having affairs, right?" After speaking, Qi Hui immediately covered her mouth, looking shocked, "Oh, Uncle Leng, you didn’t know? Uh... Did I say something I shouldn’t have?"
"No," Leng Liewei paused, "I just returned, and I’m not very up-to-date with some domestic matters. If Yiran really faced grievances, I’ll definitely help her resolve them! Qi Hui, please tell Uncle more details."
The corners of Qi Hui’s lips curled into a perfect arc of triumph, "Alright, Uncle Leng."
