Chapter 1256 - Lucky To Have Met You 4
He waited there until Dongfang Liuyun finally vanished beyond his sight. He lowered his head with a smile on his face as if he was reminiscing some good old memories. Then, he looked up and took out his phone to call Yang Sheng.
As for Yang Sheng who was extremely anxious and worried, he was relieved to get a call from Qi Lei, but his tone was still filled with anxiety. “Master Qi, oh my God! You’ve finally contacted me. Where are you? The whole company is looking for you right now. What happened? Are you okay?”
He was very concerned.
“I’m fine. I’m outside right now. I’ll send you an address so send a car to come and pick me up.” Qi Lei went straight to the point and hung up on the call right after he gave his order. Then, he sent an address to Yang Sheng before sitting down on a bench by the plaza.
Half an hour later, a car that Yang Sheng arranged for arrived.
“Master Qi!” When Yang Sheng got out of the car and saw Qi Lei who was resting on the bench, he let out a sigh of relief before heading over.
Qi Lei opened his eyes when he heard Yang Sheng’s voice.
“Where have you been? Chairman Mu and I almost called the police because I thought you went missing!” Yang Sheng still looked worried.
Qi Lei got up and took a deep breath. “You called Mu Yuchen?”
“Not yet, but I’ve told Vice President Liu Lingyu who’s probably informed Chairman Mu.” Yang Sheng continued, “Master Qi, where have you been in the past few days? Things have blown up in the office. Master Qi Feng doesn’t seem to be in a good mood, and I heard he got frustrated with the HR department manager this morning, saying something like they are being irresponsible for not checking up on you when you’ve been absent for so long. I can sense there was something else.”
Qi Lei grinned, getting into the car as Yang Sheng opened the door for him.
“I just went out for a walk. Is that all Qi Feng is capable of? What’s the situation with the old man? Did he discuss anything with Qi Feng in the past few days?”
“The company stock has barely managed to stabilize. CEO Qi has been swamped with work. He also went to City C two days ago to urge for a loan payback. He eventually got the funds back and used them to help out the company situation, only returning to City Z last night. Master Qi Feng went to see CEO Qi this morning, but his request for a meeting was declined. CEO Qi has been working really hard and doesn’t seem to be in a good condition. By the way, CEO Qi was very concerned about you coming back to work or not. He sent his assistant to inquire about it and didn’t seem very happy to know that you’ve been absent from work.”
Yang Sheng squinted and carefully observed Qi Lei’s expression from the rearview mirror. Qi Lei’s expression was hardly affected while his eyes were calm, so he had no idea what his boss was thinking about.
Qi Lei’s grin grew wider and he looked out of the window while being deep in thought.
Naturally, Yang Sheng had no idea what happened. He found Qi Lei’s recent behavior odd, but since Qi Lei did not say anything, he did not want to intrude on his privacy.
“Master Qi?” Yang Sheng spoke up after some time, “We…I heard that Master Qi Feng went to meet Doris at the hotel this morning. I think they are planning to bail Manager Gu out, but…”
Gu Lingsha?
Qi Lei frowned the moment her name was mentioned.
He somehow figured something was going to happen when Qi Feng invited Xi Xiaye over for dinner, but he guessed it would be fine with Mu Yuchen protecting her. He did not realize since when he could start trusting Mu Yuchen so much.
As proven, Mu Yuchen’s methods of dealing with things truly impressed him!
What a capable man!
Not only did he punish Gu Lingsha, but he also restricted Qi Feng and Doris. Even Gu Qiwu had his own fair share of problems while Qi Qiming probably also felt the terrible aftermath too. Qi Lei would not have thought that Qi Qiming’s sudden change in attitude towards him was due to his guilt.
“I told you to just ignore Gu Lingsha. It will be difficult for her to get out once she gets in there anyway.” Qi Lei’s eyes lit up.
He knew it too well. If Mu Yuchen was just trying to give Gu Lingsha a little warning, he would not have asked Su Chen for help! He planned to make her suffer.
Yang Sheng took a pause. Just as he was about to say something, Qi Lei continued, “Call the managers as well as Vice President Liu of Glory World. Tell them to gather around this Wednesday afternoon for a meeting.”
“A meeting?” Yang Sheng seemed shocked.
Qi Lei took a deep breath and pinched the space between his eyebrows. “My cover was blown and the old man found out, so it’s time for me to get out.”
“What?!” Yang Sheng’s eyes widened. “Then, will CEO Qi…”
“I don’t really care right now. The progress is near completion anyway, so there’s no point staying any longer. Qi Kai’s crisis this time might be an opportunity for me.”
“I’m afraid that Qi Kai…the funds from City B aren’t enough. If we do so…”
“Don’t worry about the funding. I’ve saved up a lot from stock investments in the past years, and Grandfather also left me a huge sum of money back then. I used them all to invest in other countries. While the dividends I received were not as grand as Glory World’s, it’s more than enough to operate the new projects and the company.”
He had enough money to spend on several lifespans by just inheriting Wang Qin’s assets. Otherwise, Qi Feng would not be trying so hard to take these away from him, and Qi Lei was not just a wealthy good-for-nothing brat!
