Guide to Divorce in Wealthy Families

Chapter38

The room was lively. Immediately, there was a bit of a New Year's atmosphere.

It was almost ten o'clock when they came out of grandma's house. Grandma reluctantly sent them all the way to the main road. Repeatedly urging them to come and play more often when they had time.

After getting in the car, Yu Shuyuan was obviously happy. The worry between her eyebrows had faded a lot. But as the car drove onto Xintang Bridge and got closer and closer to the destination, her mood gradually became low again.

The cell phone rangly. Xiao Bingyang picked it up and listened. It was Su Hang calling.

There was a problem at the lithium mine in Country B. Some employees had a conflict with the locals. Originally, there was a video coordination meeting between Chengfeng and the local government today. Originally, Xiao Bingyang was supposed to attend in person. But because of paying a New Year's visit, he arranged for the deputy general manager to do it instead. Now in this situation, Su Hang felt that the deputy general manager might not have enough weight.

After hanging up the phone, he apologized. "I might still have to go to the company. I'll try to come back for dinner."

Yu Shuyuan quickly said. "It's okay. It's okay. You go and be busy. I'll explain to your grandpa."

Xiao Bingyang looked at Qin Chun.

Qin Chun smiled at him. But didn't speak.

This smile seemed to have a special meaning. But it was also a bit different from the trademark little hedgehog's half-smiling. Xiao Bingyang couldn't figure it out for a moment. Did Qin Chun have an opinion or not?

"Not happy?" Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. "I'll buy you a gift to apologize later?"

The smile at the corner of Qin Chun's mouth froze. Just as she was about to taunt him, her arm was pinched by Yu Shuyuan.

"How could I be unhappy?" She endured it. So she had to a bit of her wording. "If you really want to give a gift to apologize, then it should be an expensive one. To match your unique status in the world."

Xiao Bingyang suspected that Qin Chun was implying something. But for a moment, he couldn't find evidence. But he didn't dwell on it either. He asked directly. "Did I say something wrong? Just tell me directly. Don't make me guess."

Her arm was pinched again. Qin Chun gritted her back teeth. So she had to force a smile. "Nothing. Thank you in advance for your gift."

Grandpa's house was very lively. A huge living room was filled to the brim. In addition to Qin Chengliang and Qin Chenglan's families, two of grandpa's brothers and their families also came to pay a New Year's visit. A group of people surrounded Qin Chengliang and his wife and chatted lively.

As soon as Qin Chun and her mother came in, the relatives were silent for a few seconds.

"Oh, sister-in-law is here," Aunt regained her composure and greeted them with a big smile. "I haven't seen you for many days. Why are you still so thin? Where's Mu Yun? Why is he never around every year."

"He's busy with work. There's an emergency at the company abroad," Yu Shuyuan, who was usually very sensitive, wasn't hit at all this time. She was in a particularly good mood. And her smile was also extraordinarily bright. "Just now he specially sent us here. If he finishes his work later, he will come over for dinner."

Aunt's eyes stiffened. Then immediately returned to normal. "That's great. Sister-in-law is so happy. Daughter and son-in-law are both filial. If it was... Oh, look at my big mouth. Don't mention it. Don't mention it."

The smile on Yu Shuyuan's mouth disappeared immediately.

Qin Chun's hand tightened suddenly. Her nails dug into her palm.

"Why don't you watch your mouth?" Qin Chengliang put on a straight face. "If you can't talk properly, then don't talk."

"I was just sighing," Aunt defended. "Besides, even if brother is gone, we can't forget him. Can mentioning him cause any big problem?"

"It's okay..." Yu Shuyuan forced out a smile.

"Shuyuan and Xiaoyu are here," Grandpa just came out with Great Grandpa. Happily, he said. "I was just thinking about you two while playing chess. As expected, I was thinking about you and you came. Sit down. Have some fruit."

Yu Shuyuan's expression finally returned to normal. She sat down and exchanged greetings with relatives.

Qin Chun chatted casually for a few words. She didn't have the patience to put on a hypocritical mask and be polite with uncles and aunts. Just then, her cell phone rang. She took the opportunity to go to the back balcony to answer the call.

The screen showed an unfamiliar number. She originally thought it was a spam call. Only after answering did she realize it was the headhunter she had entrusted. Originally, the two had always communicated through work phones and emails. Unexpectedly, on such a big day of the New Year, the headhunter actually called her cell phone.

"Chairman Qin," The headhunter's voice was a bit urgent. "Trouble. The Mr. Yu we were talking to is about to be poached by someone else."

Qin Chun's heart skipped a beat. Originally, this Mr. Yu had almost been settled before the Spring Festival. They had agreed to have the first interview on the sixth day of the lunar new year. If there was no problem, he would start working directly on the eighth day. Unexpectedly, something went wrong.

She composed herself. "Did he say what the reason was?"

"No," The headhunter analyzed. "But from his tone, we can tell that someone must have deliberately dug our corner these two days. The treatment offered is a bit better than ours in all aspects. Miss Qin, could it be that someone leaked the news on your side?"

Except for Xiao Bingyang, Qin Chun hadn't mentioned this matter to anyone else. But if someone was always watching, presumably they could guess that she was recruiting capable research and development personnel.

"I'll check," At this moment, she was glad that she had an alternative. "What about Mr. Wang?"

"I thought Mr. Yu was almost settled. So I didn't contact the other one much. On New Year's Eve, he even sent me a New Year's message," The headhunter was very annoyed. "I'll contact him immediately."

The cell phone vibrated. A WeChat message came in. Qin Chun urged the headhunter a few more words and hung up.

Clicking into WeChat, it was a message from Sister Qi. Little Chairman Qin. Yesterday I ran into Vice President Yu and your uncle having tea together while shopping. Today, the more I think about it, the more wrong it seems. I still have to tell you.

The fingertips holding the cell phone were slightly cold.

It seemed that Qin Chengliang wanted to poach all the company's executives one by one. Leaving her alone and unable to support herself.

Someone outside was calling her to eat. Qin Chun took a deep breath. Pushed the door open and almost bumped into Qin Chengliang who was coming out of the bathroom.

"Xiaoyu. What are you thinking about? Be careful on the road." Qin Chengliang smiled affectionately. As if the person who had a livid face because of losing the election in the conference room that day was not him at all.

Qin Chun slowly dusted off the nonexistent dust on her body. As if she was disgusted by something unclean. "Uncle. I'm just thinking about a philosophical question. Why does some people have two completely different faces?"

"Profound," Qin Chengliang remained unchanged. "This kind of question is not suitable for us older people. Leave it to you young people to think about."

Qin Chun took a step forward. The shoulders of the two were close and almost touching.

"Uncle. Let's speak frankly," She said coldly. "Don't do things behind my back anymore. From today on, if I lose one more executive I want, you won't have a good life either. At worst, we'll both be defeated."

"What do you mean?" Qin Chengliang's expression changed.

"Ninety million. Surong Energy Co., Ltd.," Qin Chun said word by word. "Uncle. If you want people not to know, unless you do nothing yourself. Over the past few years, how much have you taken from Qin Yuan? You know in your heart. And you should also know what the consequences will be."
