Guide to Divorce in Wealthy Families

Chapter22

"Aunt," Qin Chun stopped and greeted. "Off work?"

Qin Chenglan nodded and looked at the president's office twice: "Are you going to work overtime again? Be careful of your health. Don't take your youth for granted and not pay attention to health."

"It's okay. I will be careful." Qin Chun hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Is uncle okay?"

Qin Chenglan was silent for a moment. Suddenly, she let out a strange chuckle: "He's okay. He wasn't pissed off by you. You still have to work harder."

This sounded a bit strange. For a moment, Qin Chun couldn't figure out Qin Chenglan's thoughts: "Aunt, what do you mean? I don't want to go against uncle. Taohuayuan Town is Dad's last wish. I can't let it become an unfinished project. Otherwise, Dad will be criticized for the rest of his life."

"Taohuayuan Town..." Qin Chenglan murmured and repeated. "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse..."

Qin Chun frowned slightly. The doubt that had been lingering in her heart suddenly came up and she urgently wanted to find an answer: "Aunt, I looked at the financial statements of Taohuayuan Town these days. There is nearly a billion yuan of funds transferred to the head office. Do you know about this?"

Qin Chenglan looked at her fixedly for a while before saying: "Transferring such a large sum of money from a branch company requires procedures. But I haven't handled this matter. You can ask Director Cai."

"Aunt, I hope that everything can be explained in the end and also comply with financial regulations." Qin Chun said meaningfully. "Otherwise, someone will always be responsible for this matter."

"Xiaoyu, although I don't know the specific situation, but from a subsidiary company to the head office, isn't it just from one pocket to another?" Qin Chenglan calmed down and said softly, "Actually, aunt has wanted to talk to you for a long time. Your uncle has been in the company for so many years. He has deep roots and is familiar with everything. You are so now. Why don't you go and apologize to him properly? Aunt will mediate for you two. After all, we are still family. There is no grudge that lasts overnight. What do you think?"

"Thank you for your kindness, aunt." Qin Chun hooked the corner of her mouth, with a half-smile. "You should know that my temper is very similar to Dad's. Usually, I am very easy to talk to. But when it comes to things, I am easily stubborn. I won't go and annoy uncle. Please give my regards to uncle. I hope he recovers well."

"I understand." Qin Chenglan patted her on the shoulder. "Work hard. Be careful in everything."

Watching Qin Chenglan enter the elevator, Qin Chun stood there and pondered for a moment.

She had been wondering who defected from Qin Chengliang's camp and voted for her in that crucial vote in the board meeting. Judging from the situation these days, one of the two vice presidents is a nice person and the other is a die-hard supporter of Qin Chengliang. Grandpa's vote was entrusted to Qin Chengliang. Then the most likely one left is Qin Chenglan.

But judging from Qin Chenglan's words today, she was not so sure.

It was almost seven o'clock. The flow of people coming in and out of the building had decreased a lot. Qin Chun absent-mindedly walked out of the gate. When going down the stairs, she missed a step and almost bumped into an electric bike.

"Be careful." The owner was quick-eyed and quick-handed. The front of the bike swerved and avoided Qin Chun. With the other hand, he supported her.

Qin Chun stood firm and looked at the owner suspiciously: "Xiao Mai?"

The owner hesitated for a moment. Took off his mask and helmet. Brushed aside his flattened hair and smiled a little awkwardly: "Miss Qin, what a coincidence. These days, doing odd jobs can earn two or three times the money. I'm just delivering packages and running errands to earn some money to spend."

Qin Chun felt a little self-blame in her heart.

If it weren't for the company's delay in paying wages, this young man would already be a small leader in a construction company. He wouldn't be in such a situation.

"Have you had a meal?" She looked at her watch. It was almost seven o'clock. "If you haven't eaten, let's eat something together."

"No no. I'll buy a bun on the way back..."

"Why, won't you give me face by having a meal with me?" Qin Chun chuckled. "In this case, I won't tell you the good news."

There was a coffee shop next to the building. It mainly sold various coffees and business set meals. Qin Chun ordered two set meals of beef and shrimp and added some snacks. She was hungry after a busy day and ate half of it in no time.

But Xiao Mai ate very gracefully. After hearing the good news that the company planned to pay off their wages before the Spring Festival and officially resume work after the Spring Festival, his eyes immediately lit up: "Really?"

"Don't you believe me?" Qin Chun teased him.

"No no. Of course I believe you." Xiao Mai hesitated and asked, "But I heard that your company has been... a bit troublesome recently. Will it affect you?"

Qin Chun burst out laughing: "Even you know? Don't worry. Your wages won't be difficult for me. The remaining wages will be paid a little later. When the second phase starts, it will be settled. I hope—"

Before she could finish speaking, the phone rang.

Qin Chun took a look. It seemed to be Xiao Bingyang's mobile phone number. After Xiao Bingyang called her at the chamber of commerce annual meeting last time, she was impressed by this series of numbers.

Strange. Xiao Bingyang has contacted her more times these days than in the past two years combined.

After answering the phone, she just said "Hello." Xiao Bingyang's cold voice rang out: "Why haven't you come home for dinner yet?"

Qin Chun was stunned for a moment: "I'm working overtime. What's wrong?"

"I'm waiting for you to have dinner at home. Why did you work overtime without saying a word?" Xiao Bingyang asked angrily. "Is there something that must be dealt with at night?"

Qin Chun took a deep breath and didn't speak.

Who would have thought that Xiao Bingyang, who had hardly had a meal at home in two years, would suddenly come home for dinner today? She thought that after Xiao Bingyang had slept at home for one night briefly, he would set off again today to explore business in some corner of the world. Unexpectedly, at this time, she received a reproachful phone call.

"All right." Xiao Bingyang's tone softened a little. "You can get off work. I specially—"

"Xiao Bingyang." Qin Chun uttered these three words word by word. "You suddenly came home without telling me. Now why do you blame me and order me? When you didn't come home for three or five months, did you ask for my opinion? Why is it double standards when it comes to me? Are you treating me as your subordinate and ordering me around arrogantly? I'm sorry. I'm not."
