Chapter 53: Lin Xiaoxi's boyfriend
Jiang's father walked around the car twice, tapped his finger lightly on the hood, and then bent down to look at the car logo.
"Xiao Qin, this car... must cost a lot of money, right?"
Before Qin Ze could speak, Jiang Wan snatched the conversation:
"Dad, this is a Yangwang U7, BYD's high-end brand, it cost over 800,000 on the road."
"Over 800,000?!"
Jiang's father and mother almost simultaneously took a cold breath, looked at each other, both with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Over 800,000, and it's an electric car!
In this small county of theirs, that's enough to buy a very good two-bedroom apartment.
"This, this is too expensive..." Jiang's mother rubbed her hands, somewhat constrained.
"Xiao Qin, you drive such a good car, you must drive carefully."
Qin Ze looked at Jiang's father, who was constantly rubbing the car body, and saw that Jiang Wan's father liked cars!
So he simply opened the driver's seat door:
"Uncle, come up and sit? Experience it."
Jiang's father's eyes lit up, but soon hesitated again:
"I, I'm all sweaty..."
"It's fine, come up." Qin Ze opened the car door and made a gesture of invitation.
Jiang's father looked at his daughter, then at Qin Ze, and finally couldn't resist the curiosity, carefully sitting in the passenger seat.
He experienced the feeling inside the car properly.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Qin Ze and Jiang Wan then drove away!
As soon as the car got on the main road, Jiang Wan let out a long breath, her whole body slumped in the passenger seat, her eyes half-closed, looking like she had been drained of all strength.
"Exhausted..."
She muttered, her voice filled with thick exhaustion.
Qin Ze glanced at her:
"Didn't sleep well?"
"What do you think?"
Jiang Wan opened her eyes and glared at him reproachfully.
"Someone was so restless last night!"
"My legs are still soft now."
As she said this, she intentionally or unintentionally pulled at her skirt hem.
Qin Ze only then noticed that Jiang Wan was wearing a beige skirt today.
Under the skirt hem, a section of her lower leg wrapped in black silk stockings was exposed.
Only, the knee position of the right leg's stocking had a small, not very obvious hole.
Jiang Wan followed his gaze, her face blushing slightly:
"Look, the stockings are broken."
"Last night on the rooftop..."
"You were too rude."
"Blame me?" Qin Ze raised his eyebrows.
"Who teased whom first?"
"Stop talking!" Jiang Wan hurriedly interrupted him, her cheeks flushing even more.
"Anyway... anyway, it's your fault."
Qin Ze smiled, didn't tease her anymore, and said seriously:
"After going back, let Zhang Kai handle the company matters first. You rest well for a few days."
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, turning her head to look at him:
"How can that be? The company has a pile of things."
"Zhang Kai's ability isn't bad, he can handle some routine affairs. Your state is not good these few days, don't force yourself." Qin Ze's tone was serious.
"Rest when you should rest, your body is the most important."
Jiang Wan felt a warmth in her heart, but her mouth still wouldn't concede:
"Isn't it all caused by you..."
"Yes, yes, yes, caused by me." Qin Ze nodded with a smile, "So I'm giving you a few days off to compensate."
Jiang Wan then hummed with satisfaction, leaned back on the chair again, and closed her eyes:
"Then I'll take it seriously. When I get back, I'll sleep, sleep until the sky is dark and the earth is dim."
The car cabin quieted down, with only the slight whirring sound from the air conditioning vents.
Qin Ze focused on the road conditions ahead, but in his heart, he was calculating the pile of things to handle after returning to Jiangcheng.
Just as he was thinking, his phone rang.
Qin Ze glanced at the caller ID on the car screen.
Brother Hu.
He pressed the answer button, and Brother Hu's deliberately lowered, ingratiating voice came out of the car speakers.
"Qi-Mr. Qin? Are you convenient to talk right now?"
"Speak." Qin Ze's tone was plain.
"On Liu Bin's side," Brother Hu paused, seemingly weighing his words, "I've already made him deeply realize his mistake."
"Now the person is in my hands, very honest. You see... what should be done next?"
Qin Ze looked at the time, two-thirty in the afternoon.
"I'll arrive in Jiangcheng in about three hours." Qin Ze said, "Three hours later, you bring Liu Bin and come find me at the Liu Fu Sheng Grand Hotel."
He paused and added:
"By the way, let's meet too."
The other side of the phone was silent for two seconds, and Brother Hu's voice was obviously nervous:
"Al-Alright! Mr. Qin, I will definitely arrive on time!"
"Hmm."
Qin Ze hung up the phone.
The car cabin returned to quiet, but the atmosphere was obviously different.
Hanging up the phone, Qin Ze focused on driving, but in his heart, he was calculating rapidly.
This Brother Hu, although a person mixing in society, being able to make a name for himself in Jiangcheng meant his brain wasn't stupid, and he had means.
If he could subdue him and make him do things for himself...
With such a force in the dark, many things would be much more convenient.
At five-twenty in the afternoon, the Yangwang U7 drove into the Jiangcheng boundary.
The evening rush hour hadn't started yet, and there weren't many cars on the road.
Qin Ze drove directly toward Qingteng Apartment.
"Send you back to rest first." Qin Ze said to Jiang Wan, who was waking up drowsily in the passenger seat.
"I'll come back after handling things."
Jiang Wan rubbed her eyes, looking at the familiar street scene outside the window:
"Don't you need me to go with you?"
"No need." Qin Ze shook his head, "You go back and rest well, take a hot bath, sleep early."
Jiang Wan didn't insist, she was indeed exhausted.
The car stopped at the entrance of Qingteng Apartment.
Qin Ze parked the car and walked into the lobby with Jiang Wan.
Just as he pushed open the glass door, he heard a burst of arguing.
"Let go of me! This is the company!"
"What about the company? I'm your man! Can't I find you to talk?"
Qin Ze frowned and looked over.
At the front desk, Lin Xiaoxi was being pulled by the arm by a young man wearing a gray T-shirt and jeans.
The man was about twenty-five or twenty-six, his hair somewhat messy, his face not looking very good, and he was pulling Lin Xiaoxi hard.
Lin Xiaoxi struggled hard, but her strength was obviously not as good as the other party's, and her eye sockets were red.
Seeing Qin Ze and Jiang Wan enter, the man paused, and the force on his hand loosened a bit.
Lin Xiaoxi took the opportunity to break free, and seeing Qin Ze, her face instantly turned white.
"Qi-President Qin..." Her voice trembled somewhat, and she walked over quickly, bowing deeply.
"Sorry, sorry! My boyfriend he... I'll make him leave right away!"
Qin Ze didn't speak, his gaze landing on that man.
The man felt somewhat uncomfortable being looked at by him:
"You're Xiao Xi's boss?"
Qin Ze didn't pay attention to him, looking at Lin Xiaoxi:
"Who is this?"
Lin Xiaoxi said hurriedly:
"President Qin, this is my boyfriend Wu Hao, I'll make him leave right away..."
"Leave what leave?"
Wu Hao interrupted her, walked over in a few steps, and sized up Qin Ze.
"You're that boss surnamed Qin?"
Qin Ze only then looked at him properly:
"I am, something up?"
"Something up? Of course there's something up!"
Wu Hao sneered, pointing at Lin Xiaoxi,
"I'm asking you, why did you raise her salary? She's worked here for three years and her salary hasn't moved, how come it was raised as soon as you took over?"
"And, she comes home at eight or nine every night now, saying it's overtime, what overtime needs to be added until so late?"
He became more excited as he spoke, his spit almost spraying onto Qin Ze's face:
"I think you guys aren't working overtime at all! You went to do something else, right?"
"Wu Hao!" Lin Xiaoxi screamed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm talking nonsense?" Wu Hao turned his head and glared at her fiercely.
"Lin Xiaoxi, do you dare say you guys are fine? If you're fine, why did your boss raise your salary?"
He looked at Qin Ze, his eyes full of contempt and anger:
"Don't you just have a few stinking coins? Is it fun to play with someone else's wife?"
"Shut up!"
Jiang Wan, who was on the side, couldn't listen anymore, stepped forward and blocked in front of Qin Ze.
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll call the police right now!"
"Call the police?" Wu Hao seemed to have heard some joke.
"Call the police! Let the police come and see how this boss seduces female employees!"
Qin Ze hadn't spoken, just looked at him coldly.
After Wu Hao finished yelling, he slowly spoke:
"Finished?"
Wu Hao was stunned:
"You..."
"If you're finished, get out." Qin Ze's tone was calm, but carried an unquestionable pressure, "This is the company, not your home. If you want to argue, go home and argue."
"Go home? Go home where? If Lin Xiaoxi doesn't hand over all her salary today, I'm not leaving!" ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
