Dongfang Liuyun was stunned when the woman said that—
Qi Lei?
Dongfang Liuyun immediately recalled the expression on his face when the two of them parted this morning. She could not help but smile. Without hesitation, she reached out and took it. She quickly signed on the form and calmly said to the woman, "Thank you. The flowers are very beautiful. I like them very much."
"It's good that you like them. Mr. Qi chose them personally. He asked us to wrap them up before sending them over," the woman smiled and said.
"Where is he?" Dongfang Liuyun asked.
"He has already left."
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun gently nodded, "I understand."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and looked at the bouquet in her hand. A moment later, she could not help but smile. The woman who had sent the flowers over had already slowly left the office under Ah Ling's hint.
"Put the flowers in the vase."
After a while, Dongfang Liuyun handed the bouquet to Ah Ling.
"But the orchids in the vase have just been changed this morning. Why don't I bring another vase?" Ah Ling asked.
"No need. Take the orchids. This white rose seems to be blooming well. I'll take it. Put it in the vase and put it beside the bookshelf."
As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, her eyes quickly scanned the place. Soon, her focus stopped at the edge of the bookshelf.
"Okay, Manager Yun."
Ah Ling then took the bouquet.
...
"President Qi, President Zhou received a call from Chairman Mu on the way here. We sent him directly to Glory World Corporation. He told us to come back and told us to tell you that if this matter was exposed, he said he would take your life."
In Tai Yu Corporation's President's office, the bodyguard in black looked carefully at Qi Lei who was resting with his eyes closed by the floor-to-ceiling window.
"He deserves to be bullied. How could he say such things to his savior? Does he think Mu Yuchen can take him in again?"
Qi Lei did not even lift his eyelids as he said this. He thought about it for a moment before continuing, "The original hotel should still be booked. Let's see if he wants to stay there. That place is very close to Mu Yuchen's Maple Residence. It's convenient for him to come over for a meal anytime."
As he said this, he waved his hand and signaled for the black-clothed bodyguard to leave.
The black-clothed bodyguard nodded and then carefully glanced at the book in President Qi's hands. It was thick and he seemed to be quite engrossed reading it just now—
'The Bible'
When the large words greeted his eyes, the black-clothed bodyguard was stunned!
The Bible?
Their President Qi actually reads such a book?
It was unbelievable!
However, he dared not say anything more. After replying, he quietly retreated.
Qi Lei's entire body was still asleep with his eyes closed. The book in his hand had already been closed and placed to the side.
Such an afternoon naturally made people feel a little drowsy, so he fell asleep. Even when Wang Chun knocked on the door a few times and walked in, he did not notice. Only when Wang Chun came to his side and stopped walking did he silently open his eyes.
"Master Qi!" Wang Chun called out to him softly.
"Why are you here?"
Qi Lei narrowed his eyes and asked as he looked at the glaring sunlight outside the window.
"I seem to have found some progress on that matter. After the incident, the person who was fired disappeared without a trace. The police only caught him as an accomplice, so they don't know anything about it. Oh right, when I was investigating this, I found out about the relationship between Jin Sheng and the Missus. Jin Sheng was originally the Missus' marriage partner, but for some reason, the marriage didn't pull through. However, the Jin family has some resentment toward Missus and CEO Gan. Therefore, the marriage between Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rou'er might be because they want revenge," said Wang Chun.
Qi Lei frowned and looked at Wang Chun. His eyes flashed, "What's the background of the Jin Family?"
"Just nepotism. They're related to Old Master Dongfang's ex-wife. They had some dealings with the Dongfang family before, so Old Master Dongfang just gave them some face. Oh, right, they seem to be interested in the land near the city's east square. I heard that they want to buy it and develop an amusement park there. Previously, President Qi always wanted to sell it to help Qi Kai tide over the crisis. However, our current plan is to build the department store there."
"Amusement park? Does the Jin group have such a huge amount of money?"
Qi Lei did not think much of it.
"It's definitely impossible for them to take it down by themselves. However, if the Dongfang group is willing to cooperate, then the chances are very high."
Wang Chun explained, "The Jin family has been going downhill for the past few years, and the transformation of the real estate industry is also imminent. They have set their sights on the service industry, so they have some foresight. Right now, the development of the east and south of the city is very fast, and the population density is very high. If this project goes ahead, there might be some profits to be made. This is a big cake."
"Yes, it's a big cake. Let's see if I'm willing to sell the land to them. Do you think I can sell it?"
Qi Lei brushed his black hair with his fingers, "However, I can play with them."
As he said that, Qi Lei's lips curled into a smile. His dark eyes were filled with a strange look. Wang Chun could not help but feel a chill as he watched.
"Continue to investigate that matter. Also, how are things on the hospital's end?"
"It's still the same. Director Liang said that President Qi's condition is more or less recovered now, but perhaps his subconscious is unwilling to wake up, so... I think that President Qi probably knows about the eldest Master's matter and can't let go... and he..."
When Wang Chun said this, his eyes were carefully watching Qi Lei, afraid that he would be unhappy.
However, Qi Lei's reaction was very calm. This time, Wang Chun was slightly relieved. "Master Qi, why don't you bring Missus over? Maybe President Qi will wake up when he sees Missus..."
"If he doesn't want to wake up, it's useless no matter what I do. The son in his heart is already dead. The rest means nothing," Qi Lei said with an indifferent expression.
He put his hand on his knee and slowly stood up, "Since that's the case, there's no need to find another doctor. Just let the special nurse take good care of him. He can wake up whenever he wants. Just one more person or one less person. It doesn't really make much of a difference."
There was a hint of loneliness in his lowered tone, and more of it was helplessness.
In fact, Wang Chun wanted to ask Qi Lei if he still hated Qi Qiming, but—
He,
did not dare!
