Hearing this, Qing Muye's eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp glint appearing in his gaze, "Continue the investigation!"
He wanted to know who dared to lay a hand on his people!
Junlin Company.
Meng Jingwei swiped her card and went straight to the President's office. She pushed the door open to find Xiao Cheng sitting on his desk, his back to the door, gazing at a newly hung calligraphy and painting on the wall.
"You help me make a comeback, and I'll help you conquer the world." Wow, this line is so domineering.
Meng Jingwei muttered as she gave a thumbs-up in praise.
Hearing her voice, Xiao Cheng turned to look at her, his mind replaying the scene of him sending Meng Jingwei off, watching her enter the Ye Se apartment.
His eyes gradually filled with a hint of sadness.
But the melancholy passed in an instant. He smiled and said, "Yes, you help me make a comeback, and I'll help you conquer the world!"
This was what he was saying to Meng Jingwei.
The former Xiao Cheng was a well-known business genius in Lancheng. However, after various setbacks, he became disheartened and indulged in pleasures, eventually becoming known as a "good-for-nothing" in Lancheng, a useless individual nobody wanted.
Now, with Meng Jingwei's appearance, he wanted to pick himself up and regroup.
But how could Meng Jingwei know any of this?
"Second Brother, keep up the good work. I'm rooting for you."
Meng Jingwei placed her bag aside and sat on the sofa in his lounge area, leaning back lazily. She tilted her head and looked at Xiao Cheng, saying, "There's something I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
Xiao Cheng walked to the water dispenser and poured Meng Jingwei a cup of tea. He walked over to her, placed the tea down, and sat opposite her.
"I'm planning to go back to my hometown soon."
"How long do you plan to stay?"
Xiao Cheng didn't think much of it, assuming she just wanted to take leave to go home.
Meng Jingwei propped her elbows on the armrest of the sofa, resting her chin on her hands, and shook her head with a wry smile, "I don't plan to come back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Cheng's brow furrowed, and his expression froze, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Nothing, it's just that after staying in the bustling city for so long, I still feel that the countryside is better. Perhaps, it's more suitable for me."
"Is it because... he's marrying Li Yun'er?"
Xiao Cheng didn't beat around the bush and revealed his thoughts directly.
Yesterday, Xiao Meiyan had returned from Songyu Group and told him that Li Yun'er was pregnant, and it was likely that Qing Muye and Li Yun'er would get married soon.
Xiao Cheng lamented, "Li Yun'er is pregnant. Even for the sake of appearances, the Qing family will arrange the marriage as soon as possible. The Qing and Li families will join forces, and you..."
He paused, his gaze falling on the dejected woman opposite him, and he didn't continue. Instead, he changed the subject, "I support you going home. When the time comes, I'll open a company in your hometown, and you can continue working for me."
"Hahaha, alright, no problem at all. If Second Brother opens a company in my hometown, I'll definitely work for you until I'm old, becoming a seasoned employee."
Meng Jingwei thought he was just joking.
"It's good that you're here. The company has expanded its new business. You've been training in the secretarial department for a while and have learned quite a bit. From now on, you'll be in charge of the new business."
Although it was said that Meng Jingwei had been training in the secretarial department for a while, she had only actually worked for a week.
In the secretarial department, the head secretary had been guiding her through the company's various businesses and occasionally teaching her secretarial skills.
Meng Jingwei knew that Xiao Cheng intended to cultivate her.
"Second Brother is truly a shrewd businessman. Not only do you teach me secretarial skills, but you also have me responsible for new projects. In the future, when I accompany you on business trips, it'll be like having an accompanying secretary. Tsk tsk tsk... this deal is really worthwhile."
Meng Jingwei hit the nail on the head.
Xiao Cheng did have this intention, but his true purpose was simply to grow and train alongside Meng Jingwei.
"My little Wei Wei is wise and intelligent, it would be a waste not to utilize her. Second Brother will give you double the salary."
"Second Brother is mighty!"
Meng Jingwei gave him a thumbs-up.
As the smile on her face gradually faded, she said seriously, "Then I might not be able to help you for long. As I said, I'm going back to the countryside."
"Don't think too much about it for now. Do your best until the day you leave."
"Okay, having your words, Second Brother, is enough."
Meng Jingwei got up, picked up her bag, and said, "Then I'll go to work now."
"Go ahead."
Xiao Cheng nodded. After watching her leave the office, he walked to his desk and sat down. He picked up the phone and dialed the internal extension, "Come here for a moment."
He hung up the phone. A moment later, the head of the secretarial department walked in and stood before Xiao Cheng, "President Xiao, what can I do for you?"
"Send someone to Meng Jingwei's hometown to see if there are any suitable office spaces." As Xiao Cheng spoke, he wrote down Meng Jingwei's hometown address and handed it to the head of the secretarial department.
"Yes, President Xiao."
"Also, don't let her know about this. And prepare a separate office for her."
"Alright, I'll take care of it right away."
The head of the secretarial department nodded in agreement and then turned to leave the office.
Time passed quickly. Meng Jingwei felt that before she knew it, it was already noon, having spent the morning learning about the new business segments in the secretarial department.
Xiao Cheng sent Meng Jingwei a message: [What do you want to eat for lunch?]
Meng Jingwei immediately replied: [Anything is fine.]
So, the two of them went to a nearby Western restaurant together.
Meanwhile, at Songyu Group.
Li Yun'er, who had slept until late morning, received a call from Song Ci shortly after waking up, "Miss Li, the boss asked me to tell you that the wedding date has been postponed."
Li Yun'er, groggy in bed, sat up almost bolt upright upon hearing Song Ci's words.
Clutching her phone, she held back what she wanted to say and, maintaining her usual gentle demeanor, asked Song Ci, "Why has it been postponed? Didn't Brother Muye say the wedding would be in two months?"
The anxious Li Yun'er could never have imagined that Qing Muye would change his mind overnight.
Why had he done this?
Or was it related to Meng Jingwei?
She wasn't sure.
"This is the boss's decision. You can ask him if you have any questions." Song Ci directly conveyed his boss's instructions and had already canceled all wedding arrangements.
"Alright, I understand."
Li Yun'er hung up the phone. At that moment, she almost smashed her phone to the ground, but then she thought better of it and restrained herself, "I can't lose my temper; it's not good for the baby in my womb."
Suppressing her anger, Li Yun'er got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, then put on makeup as quickly as possible.
When she went downstairs, she found Zhao Ruolan and Li Fu'an both at home.
"Mommy, Daddy, just now... Song Ci called me." She walked over dejectedly, feeling a surge of anger, but she still managed to control her emotions.
No matter what, she was pregnant now, and Qing Muye wouldn't not marry her.
