C8 Cousin's Jealousy
"What you said makes a lot of sense. Someone must be deliberately discrediting the company." Wang Wanqing scratched her head with her fingers. " But who could be against me? Is he a business rival? "
"Relax, anything will pass. Stand up and walk around, take a breath of air, you're too nervous. " Li Haotian held her hand and tried to pull her up from the chair.
Suddenly, the office door was opened again. There was still no knock on the door.
Li Haotian and Wang Wanqing both looked towards the door. Li Haotian clearly remembered that this person was the man he saw in the elevator earlier.
"How rude. Don't you know to knock on the door?" Li Haotian imitated the words Wang Wanqing had used to deal with him.
"What are you doing?" The man's eyes were fixed on Li Haotian as he held Wang Wan Qing's hand.
"Oh, nothing!" Wang Wanqing realized that her hand was still in Li Haotian's hand. She immediately blushed and quickly withdrew her hand.
It turned out to be Wang Wanqing's cousin. No wonder he was so arrogant. However, Li Haotian didn't put this person in his eyes at all. Because he wasn't a company employee, he didn't need to be afraid of anyone in this company.
"Is something the matter, cousin?" Wang Wanqing quickly changed the topic to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"I have something to discuss with Wan Qing. Please go out for a moment." Wang Wanqing's cousin glared at Li Haotian.
"Why did you let me go out? "I am Wan Qing's special assistant. Unless you guys talk about something shameful, you don't need to kick me out, do you?" Li Haotian was purposely pissing him off, so he just sat back on the sofa and prepared to listen to what they were saying.
Wang Wanqing's cousin closed the door. He did not want the employees to hear his words of ridicule. He looked at Wang Wanqing and asked, "Wanqing, who is this person? Why did you suddenly invite such a special assistant? "
"I …" Wang Wanqing looked at Li Haotian. It was hard for her to explain the reason. She didn't want others to know that it was because of her cowardice that Li Haotian had come to help her.
Li Haotian saw that Wang Wanqing was in a dilemma. He quickly continued, "The CEO of Huijia Corporation is Wang Wanqing, right?" As he spoke, he looked inquiringly at Wang Wanqing's cousin, who nodded.
"That's good then. Since Qingqing is the chairman, she invited me here. There's no need to report to any aunts or aunts, is there?"
When Li Haotian saw the other party's embarrassed and furious expression, he secretly felt pleased with himself for playing tricks on this guy.
"Alright, since I'm not asking you guys, I'll report this to the CEO." With that, he walked to Wang Wanqing's desk and placed a piece of information on it. A random check of some yoghurt shows that some of our yoghurt do have quality problems. Once the quality control department finds out and publishes the results, our company will be greatly affected. Because of the negative news on the Internet, our stock is already falling. The Board is having a meeting in the afternoon and I will be interrogating with you. " With that, he left the office glumly.
Wang Wanqing stood up and walked back and forth in the office with a worried expression on her face. As she walked, she asked, "What should I do?" I'm scared of the board. "
"Li Haotian walked up to Wang Wanqing and grabbed her shoulder." You don't have to be afraid. With me here, you can watch my performance. "
"You? "How can you withstand the bombardment of those uncles on the board of directors?" Wang Wanqing asked doubtfully.
"Because I have no interest in them, and I have no reason to fear them. That's why I only need to have a brain and a strong attitude to be able to make a shield for you. "
Wang Wanqing smiled and said, "Looks like you really do have some use."
"Oh yeah, what does your cousin do in the company?"
"Cousin's name is Yang Wenyuan, he's been with my dad for several years. After coming back from studying abroad in the United States, he has always been in the company. He was later promoted by my father to be president and was also the third largest shareholder in the board. "
Strangely, after Wang Wanqing and Li Haotian had talked about this matter, her heart had become much calmer. She tried to ask herself if Li Haotian's ability to ignore difficult situations and face his opponents with force had infected her. Just like how he had just mocked his cousin Yang Wenyuan as an opponent. Thinking of this, she smiled. In his impression, Yang Wenyuan had never been ridiculed by others. Probably, only Li Haotian could cause Yang Wenyuan to lose face like this.
Ever since she was young, she had been under the protection of her cousin Yang Wenyuan. She had suffered any grievances and was bullied by anyone, so she would always complain to her cousin. And Yang Wenyuan had always been very active in helping her take care of the aftermath. If anyone bullied her, Yang Wenyuan would go and vent his anger for her.
However, this relationship had changed since she had grown up. She didn't want to reveal her thoughts anymore. Yang Wenyuan's protective umbrella could no longer attract her attention.
In fact, when her parents died, Yang Wenyuan tried to comfort her, but her tears would flow when no one else was around, rather than in front of Yang Wenyuan. And because of this, her distance from Yang Wenyuan underwent a subtle change. This change, in her own eyes, was a matter of course. While she could still feel Yang Wenyuan's desire to protect her, it was just that she didn't actively accept it anymore.
Even after she took over HSBC, under pressure from several big shareholders represented by the second-largest shareholder Zheng Quishan, she did not ask for help from Mr Yang. Although she knew in her heart that if she teamed up with the third largest shareholder, Yang Wenyuan, the pressure she would face would lessen a lot.
The reason was probably something only she herself knew. She wasn't an idiot, she knew clearly in her heart that Yang Wenyuan had a crush on a girl. Since she was young, she had treated Yang Wenyuan as an older brother. She simply couldn't accept this relationship being converted into a lover's relationship.
It was precisely because she found a way to balance and rid herself of Yang Wenyuan from Li Haotian that she was willing to let Li Haotian stay.
Li Haotian sat in his office. He was bored, so he sipped on tea, read the newspaper, and smoked a cigarette from time to time. His life had never been so peaceful before. He had always lived in the shadows, even when killing people, he would become decisive to the point of being cold-blooded. However, after the cold-blooded incident, he would often think back to the bloody scene. Whenever he thought of it, he would sink into melancholy.
After changing his identity, he felt a sense of relaxation that he had never felt before. Perhaps his current job wasn't as profitable as it had been when he was a killer, but at the moment, optimism was something that hadn't happened before.
In his mind, Wang Wanqing was not only his first customer, but she also had another meaning. From another point of view, Wang Wanqing had also become a tool for him to use. As long as he could help her stabilize, he would be able to get out of the quagmire of his guilt.
Both of them had their own thoughts as they stayed in the office for the whole morning. At noon, Yang Wenyuan came again. He first looked at Li Haotian with disgust, then said to Wang Wan Qing, "Wan Qing, why don't you have lunch with me?"
Wang Wanqing subconsciously looked towards Li Haotian. Li Haotian noticed the unwillingness in her eyes, so he continued, "I made an appointment with Qingqing. We'll eat lunch together. I'm sorry!"
Saying that, he looked at the time, ignoring Yang Wenyuan's unwillingness, he walked in front of Wang Wan Qing and pulled her up from her office chair.
"Let's go, Qing Qing. It's time to eat."
Wang Wanqing secretly rejoiced in her heart about Li Haotian's perception. She had only sent a pleading look to Li Haotian, but Li Haotian already understood everything.
She looked at Yang Wenyuan apologetically and said, "Sorry cousin, we have an appointment today. I'll eat with you another day."
"Un, that's alright. Let's change the day then." Li Haotian's attitude, as well as the ambiguous name he used time and time again, made Yang Wenyuan feel a chill in his heart. However, he did his best to suppress his emotions and not explode on the spot.
Wang Wanqing and Li Haotian walked out of the office. In this space, there was only the extremely furious Yang Wenyuan left. When Li Haotian walked past him, the provocative look he had released was still lingering in his eyes.
On Yang Wenyuan's handsome face, he furrowed his brows, and his gaze gradually became cold. Subconsciously, he sat down on the sofa and grabbed his clean hair with both of his hands. A sense of defeat welled up within him. He grabbed the newspaper from the table and tore it into pieces.
When Wang Wanqing's secretary saw that the office door wasn't closed, he directly walked in. However, in the office, she only saw Yang Wenyuan.
"Director Yang, where did Director Wang go?" She had just asked this question when she saw the torn pieces of paper in front of Yang Wenyuan. She also saw Yang Wenyuan's resentful face. She closed her mouth, a little worried.
But at this moment, Yang Wenyuan had nowhere to vent his anger on. Suddenly, a cannon fodder came, and the rage he held in his heart finally found its target to erupt.
"Get lost! What the hell? Who told you to suddenly come in? Don't you know how to knock on the door? If you continue to be so rude in the future, I'll make you scram immediately! "
After all, that secretary was only a girl, and her mental endurance was limited. On top of that, even though Yang Wenyuan was usually serious, he wouldn't scold his subordinates like this. She didn't know what she had done wrong, but she felt wronged. Tears were streaming down her face. Ye Zichen turned around and ran out of the office while crying.
Yang Wenyuan didn't reflect on his loss of manners, but continued to curse to himself: "What dogshit special assistant, what the hell is that." "A toad wanting to eat a swan's meat doesn't have to take a piss just to do what it does."
