Chapter 372 - 365: Everyone Has Their Fate (Part 4)
In these kinds of settings, communication among the ladies is also important; sometimes sealing a business deal could be as simple as a pillow talk from the wives. Hence, Luna was right that Bai Yiran’s constant presence with Leng Yichen was indeed hindering matters. As the daughter-in-law of the Leng Family and the President’s wife of Huamei International, it’s more appropriate for her to accompany her mother-in-law, Luna, in entertaining the aristocratic ladies.
Bai Yiran was not opposed to dealing with those aristocratic ladies, but she had little confidence in her mother-in-law, Luna. Previously, Luna had done things like snatching a dress; there’s no telling what trouble she might stir up again.
Leng Liewei came over, followed by Old Qi and Qi Hui.
Old Qi looked at Leng Yichen, laughing, "Old Leng, your Yichen is truly outstanding! You haven’t been around for these years, yet Huamei International has thrived and is now a major international company!"
Leng Liewei had a smile on his face, but he was internally displeased with Old Qi’s words.
What does he mean by these years I wasn’t around? Does it imply that as a father, he’s less capable than the young lad?
Leng Liewei maintained his smile, seemingly unaffected, but Leng Yichen could sense a hint of displeasure in his expression, inwardly sneering.
"This must be Uncle Qi, it’s been such a long time since we last met."
"Indeed! Yet, you frequently see my daughter Qi Hui."
Saying this, Old Qi pointed at his daughter Qi Hui.
"So Qi Hui is your daughter! She’s worked for me for so long and never mentioned it, I really had no idea. Had I known earlier, I could have offered her more support."
Leng Yichen’s words were tactful, leaving Old Qi and Qi Hui instantly stiff-faced.
Qi Hui had joined Huamei International after graduation and worked there for so many years.
She never talked about her childhood or her father to Leng Yichen. However, she believed her progression from intern and junior staff to her current position as Marketing Manager was because Leng Yichen remembered her, thus favoring her for promotions and paying special attention to their department.
Yet, who would have thought Leng Yichen never even knew who she was, let alone mentored her.
Actually, Wang Wei, Huamei International’s current Operations Director, joined the company at the same time as Qi Hui. Wang Wei is now the Operations Director, yet Qi Hui is merely the Marketing Manager, with no promotion prospects in the coming years.
But, Qi Hui never knew she was living in her own fantasy world.
Old Qi’s expression was not good; though he did hope for Leng Yichen to support Qi Hui, he hadn’t expected him to make it public.
Bai Yiran watched the changing expressions of those people with great interest, inwardly sneering.
Life is really a stage play, all dependent on one’s acting skills.
"You should go with Luna to entertain the female guests, why stay with Yichen."
Leng Liewei straightforwardly remarked on the inappropriateness of Bai Yiran constantly staying by Leng Yichen’s side.
Leng Yichen was about to speak but Bai Yiran pulled him aside, slightly shook her head at him.
"I was just about to go with Aunt Lu, Dad."
Luna’s face turned dark; Bai Yiran actually addressed her as Aunt Lu in public, clearly intending to embarrass her!
Luna clenched her fist secretly; enjoy your moment, soon you’ll wish for death over life!
Qi Hui’s gaze swept over Luna, finally resting on the collected face of Bai Yiran.
Sorry, if I don’t ruin you, I’ll never have him...
