Chapter 349 Leaving with a Sigh
Qi Dao Huo left in a huff with his men, leaving the entire Liu family mansion stunned.
At this moment, Zhou Sinian finally reacted. He suddenly realized that Qi Dao Huo's arrival must have been for Chen Yang.
Now that Qi Dao Huo had suddenly unleashed his fury on Liu Mingtian and left in anger, it must also be because of Chen Yang.
In the end, Qi Dao Huo must have learned of Chen Yang's identity, which was why he came here to try and curry favor.
Upon realizing this, Zhou Sinian suddenly felt at ease. He had previously worried that his personal strength would not be enough to protect Chen Yang. Now, he thought how ridiculous he was. Chen Yang's status was such that he wouldn't need his protection at all.
Zhou Sinian burst into laughter and immediately cupped his hands towards Liu Ran, saying, "Congratulations, Miss Liu."
"It seems that your Yangyangyang Enterprise, Madam Liu, is already renowned far and wide. Even Lord Qi is aware of your company! And he seems to have such a favorable impression of it."
Liu Ran was also completely bewildered. She quickly said to Zhou Sinian, "Lord Zhou, you flatter me. I never expected that the esteemed Lord Qi would even know about our Yangyangyang Company. It is truly an honor."
Zhou Sinian laughed heartily and then said, "Madam Liu, Mr. Chen, since we are not welcome here, there is no need to linger. Why don't we all go back together? I'll treat you to a late-night snack, and if you have any business difficulties in the future, please don't hesitate to tell me."
Chen Yang said, "We'll forgo the late-night snack, but indeed, there's no need to stay here. Let's go."
Chen Yang took Liu Ran's hand and walked towards the exit. Liu Jianghu sighed and also took his wife, Cao Meihua, as they walked out.
Zhou Sinian laughed loudly and turned to look at Liu Mingtian, saying, "Oh, Lord Liu, it seems you'll never be able to return home in glory or be transferred to work in Qingzhou City!"
"But it's all for the best. After all, you are familiar with the border regions, and you can still utilize your talents and dedication to serve the people there!"
"If you ever return to Qingzhou City in the future, I, Zhou Sinian, will gladly play the host and entertain you properly. Rest assured, hahahaha..."
Zhou Sinian smiled, nodded, and then turned to leave.
Seeing this, the other managers of various levels from Qingzhou City understood immediately. They all followed Zhou Sinian out.
Zhang Heng stood alone, knowing that he was completely finished this time. He had thoroughly offended Zhou Sinian, and now he couldn't rely on Liu Mingtian. His future was entirely gone.
With a soft thud, Zhang Heng collapsed to the ground, looking utterly dejected.
Soon.
Only Liu Mingtian, Old Mrs. Liu, and the other members of the Liu family remained in the Liu family mansion.
Liu Mingtian still stood in his original spot, unmoving.
Ever since Qi Dao Huo had left in anger, he had been standing there like a statue.
He had always been a proud man, ever since childhood. Later, for his future, he left home and worked diligently elsewhere for many years.
He was a master with high intelligence and emotional quotient.
Furthermore, he was low-key and diligent in his work, finally achieving his current status. Yet, he never expected to return to the Liu family this time and be reprimanded by Qi Dao Huo, shattering his dream of returning home in glory.
Old Mrs. Liu, Yang Long, Liu Xin, and others sat around the table. Old Mrs. Liu's eyes were red from crying. She grabbed Liu Mingtian's arm and said, "Son, son, don't be sad. It's all the fault of that wretched Liu Ran and the third branch of the family! If they had obediently handed over the business to us, all these subsequent troubles wouldn't have happened."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Exactly, it's all the fault of that wretched Liu Ran and Chen Yang. They must have said nonsense in front of Zhou Sinian and Qi Dao Huo, which affected my uncle's future. They deserve to be punished."
Yang Long said angrily, "Now it has not only affected my uncle's future, but because of this incident, Zhou Sinian and our Liu family have completely fallen out. In the future, it will be difficult for our Liu family to do business!"
"It's all the fault of that wretched Liu Ran."
"Yes, yes, it's the third branch of the family for being ungrateful. If you ask me, the third branch should compensate for all these matters!"
"I think Chen Yang and Liu Ran should go and apologize to Qi Dao Huo, and ask them to beg for my uncle's situation to be resolved."
Everyone cursed vehemently.
At this moment, Liu Mingtian suddenly turned around and slammed his palm on the table. His eyes swept over Old Mrs. Liu and then over the members of the Liu family.
At this moment, he suddenly felt immense regret. Liu Mingtian waved his hand and said, "I... I'm going back."
Old Mrs. Liu immediately stood up and grabbed Liu Mingtian's arm, saying, "Son, where are you going? You just got home!"
Liu Mingtian waved his hand and said, "I'm going back to Yunnan. I..."
At this point, Liu Mingtian suddenly felt a surge of sorrow. He waved his hand, no longer wanting to say anything more, and strode out of the Liu family mansion. After getting into the car, he directly instructed the driver to take him back to the border.
On the road, Liu Mingtian sat in the back seat, looking at the night view of Qingzhou City outside the window, his heart filled with sadness and regret.
He reflected on the day's events. If he hadn't been so arrogant, if he hadn't forced Liu Ran to hand over her company right from the start, perhaps everything would have been different.
He had originally achieved a great feat, and with that contribution, he could have easily transferred his career back to Jiang Province, but now, it was all in vain.
Liu Mingtian sighed deeply and closed his eyes. Although he regretted it, he was not a person who would admit defeat.
Since things had come to this, he would work diligently at the border. He was sure he would achieve something in the future, and perhaps, one day, he would still return home in glory.
In the courtyard of the Liu family, everyone was lost when they saw Liu Mingtian suddenly leave.
Liu Xin suddenly stood up, trembling, and said, "Grandma, Grandma, what is going on?"
"Didn't you say my uncle was an exceptional talent? Didn't you say he was a person of high standing? How come he can't even take over Liu Ran's Yangyangyang Company? What use is he?"
Hearing Liu Xin's words, Old Mrs. Liu, enraged, pointed at Liu Xin's nose and cursed, "Shut up! Didn't you see that your uncle was also reprimanded?"
"That wretched Liu Ran has too much luck. I just don't understand why so many people are protecting her!"
Liu Xin clenched her fists and said, "What do we do now? Brother Long and I established a company for that slimming tea contract and paid a million in consultation fees. Now, we have nothing. The contract still went to Liu Ran. This makes me so angry, so angry."
Liu Xin suddenly slumped onto the seat. She felt a pain in her abdomen, and in her anger, the fetus in her womb seemed to be unstable.
Yang Long quickly went forward to comfort his wife. He placed his hand on Liu Xin's belly and said, "Don't worry, my dear. I won't let Liu Ran and Chen Yang continue to be arrogant."
