Chapter 346: Is There Someone Named Yang Yunshu Here?

Since there was one earlier occasion where Grandmother Qi brought Xia Wenna over to look for Song Yu, many of those in Chengshi remembered the old lady’s face.

When Grandmother Qi came out of the elevator with Guan Liya, the receptionist thought she was seeing things and was afraid to even greet them without being greeted first.

At that time, the old lady had already brought Guan Liya in.

“Young lady,” the old lady greeted.

The receptionist’s memory was jogged immediately after hearing the old lady’s voice.

“You’re the esteemed Madam Qi?” the receptionist greeted, still shocked and struggling to calm herself down.

“Aye,” said the old lady amicably. “Young lady, please do not be afraid.”

“Madam, you’re here because…” the receptionist asked with caution. Song Yu had already resigned. At that point in time, there was probably no one else that the elderly woman knew there.

“Hehehe, I’m looking for Xiao Ruan,” the old lady smiled and said.

‘Xiao Ruan?’

The receptionist was lost in thought for a moment, as she remembered that the only person with the surname Ruan was Ruan Danchen.

“Are you looking for Ruan Danchen?” the receptionist asked. She was shocked and surprised. ‘When did Ruan Danchen become on such good terms with the old lady, that she would be paid a personal visit by the old lady herself?’

Song Yu received that kind of treatment last time because she was the old lady’s granddaughter-in-law.

Back then, the old woman brought Xia Wenna—who was Qi Chengzhi’s mother and Song Yu’s mother-in-law—with her.

‘Who did the old lady bring over now?’

“Madam, Ruan Danchen took leave. She’s not in the company at the moment. Why are you looking for her?” the receptionist asked carefully.

“Ah, that can’t be. Xiao Ruan didn’t tell me,” the old lady mumbled. She was already dragging Guan Liya into the design department.

The receptionist did not dare to just stop the two of them. The only thing she could do was pick up her cell phone and follow behind the two women, all while giving Director Zhao a call. “Director Zhao, Madam Qi is here, she’s looking for Ruan Danchen.”

Director Zhao was so dumbstruck that he flew out of his office at once. ‘What in tarnation is that old woman doing here? And why did she ask specifically for Ruan Danchen?”

‘The hell is with Ruan Danchen!’

The old lady surveyed the entire design department with Guan Liya and said, “She’s really not here.”

That was when Director Zhao burst in with a head full of sweat. He was still gasping for air when he greeted, “Madam.”

He looked at Guan Liya and was even more shocked. ‘Were the two of them here just to shake up Qilin with every step that they take?”

Director Zhao did attend Song Yu’s wedding, and although he was not worthy of coming up to them to greet them, he did remember Guan Liya’s face.

“Mrs. Qi,” Director Zhao greeted hastily as well. “The both of you came because…

“Is there something we’ve done wrong?” Director Zhao asked guiltily.

Guan Liya smiled and placed a paper bag on Ruan Danchen’s empty desk. “I heard Ruan Danchen’s been having some discomfort lately and her energy levels aren’t that good. I decided to buy some tonics and send them here. At the same time, I’d also like to see her work environment. Hopefully, she’s not overworked.”

Director Zhao’s heart was beating as if he was taking a ride on a rollercoaster. It was thumping manically and he was completely frozen. ‘When did Ruan Danchen become on such good terms with Guan Liya!’

“Speaking of which, why did Xiao Ruan take leave? She never mentioned it when she came to our home. When did she start taking leave?” the old lady looked directly at Director Zhao and asked.

“Just last week,” said the sweaty director.

“Oh no, Mom, I think Danchen’s fatigue and listlessness started since last week. She didn’t have any appetite for meals either.” Guan Liya’s gaze turned chilly. She frowned and scanned across the entire office before looking at Director Zhao. “Does she feel at ease when working here?”

“…” Almost immediately, Director Zhao understood why those two women came that day.

“Madam, Mrs. Qi, Xiao Ruan’s relationship with the both of you is…” Director Zhao probed apprehensively.

“The future wife of my second-eldest grandson. You didn’t know?” the old lady looked at Director Zhao with a confused expression.

Director Zhao felt as though his brain had exploded. “Ruan Danchen’s your future granddaughter-in-law?”

“Director Zhao, Danchen wasn’t treated here badly, was she?” Guan Liya cocked her brow and asked. “Disagreements and arguments between employees are a common occurrence in every company and I’m well aware of that. Sometimes, others might conspire behind one’s back. These things are inevitable. Our Danchen, however, is an honest and ethical person. She never does these kinds of things and even if she was wronged, she would simply hide away and suffer by herself. Taking revenge and using dirty tactics is not something she would do, so we need to help her out when it comes to these things. Director Zhao, if you could please pay a bit more attention to her. You took care of Song Yu well when she was still working here, and we’re all really thankful and appreciative of your actions.”

At that moment, Director Zhao was on the verge of letting his tears spill for the old lady and Guan Liya. ‘When did that Ruan Danchen become the young madam of the Qi family? And she still wants to hide it from us? Isn’t that an act of deceiving us?’

Director Zhao was still thinking of an excuse because he was well aware that he had offended her rather seriously that time.

The old lady then nodded and said, “Danchen keeps too low a profile. She doesn’t like to show off her status. All she wants is to do her job properly. When it comes to work-related matters, she doesn’t like Chenglin to get involved. If she did, she wouldn’t be suffering all by herself.”

Yang Yunshu listened on from one side with her facial expression changing immediately. She gritted her teeth and wondered how the situation progressed so quickly with such a sudden shift in the sequence of events.

‘What tricks did Ruan Danchen have that enabled her to get a hold of Qi Chenglin? Did she really succeed that time when they were in the meeting room?’

“This…” Director Zhao did not dare to feign ignorance since they would be able to get the full picture if they went back and asked Ruan Danchen. “I’ll keep an eye out more in the future.”

“Oh yes, is there someone named Yang Yunshu here?” the old lady asked all of a sudden.

Director Zhao thought that the old lady knew about Yang Yunshu bullying Ruan Danchen.

Yang Yunshu, however, immediately recalled the little boy that was with Ruan Danchen when they had a meal in the playpark’s themed-restaurant.

It was common knowledge that Qi Chenglin had a son. ‘Could it be that the little boy was actually his son?!’

“Yang Yunshu, get over here!” Director Zhao called out sternly.

Yang Yunshu felt so unhappy. It was a hard-enough task to spite Ruan Danchen into leaving the office, so why did that kind of thing had to happen again!

She walked over uneasily, but before the old lady and Guan Liya could say anything, Director Zhao exclaimed angrily, “Aren’t you going to apologize? You take advantage of the liberty I give you when I don’t interfere with your work too much and decide to go around nose-picking in the office? You soured the good working environment that we have here!”

Director Zhao then turned to face the old lady and Guan Liya. “I’ll make sure that she apologizes to Ruan Danchen, and this time I’ll regulate the working environment of the entire company. Those who stir up office politics and falsely accuse others will be punished severely!”

He finally understood why Qi Chenglin insisted on Ruan Danchen for the project with Qilin—the man simply wanted to take care of his wife at work.

“What’s the meaning of this? You’re the one who’s been harassing Ruan Danchen at work?” Guan Liya looked sternly at Yang Yunshu.

“I thought you had no idea that Ruan Danchen was bullied at work? Why do you know about it all of a sudden?” the old lady asked Director Zhao.

Director Zhao had no choice but to be honest and ask, “The both of you aren’t referring to this matter?”

“My grandson came home telling me that this Miss Yang told him that he had no family values and no mother to teach him that. Miss Yang, is this the kind of thing that a person with a good family upbringing would say? Your family seems to have educated you pretty well,” Guan Liya jibed and glared at Yang Yunshu. She was trembling with anger after remembering how she listened to the recording that the old lady gave. “Do you know how it feels to hear all that when I’m his grandmother? What kind of sick person are you to say all those terrible things to a little kid! You’re probably the first one to ever say that the Qi family doesn’t bring up their children with values.”

Yang Yunshu was getting fidgety and she was so petrified that color drained from her face. She did not know how else to salvage herself. Back then, Qi Chengzhi had nearly caused her to lose her position as a designer, and she could not possibly imagine how things would end after offending both Grandmother Qi and Guan Liya.

“I didn’t know he’s…” Yang Yunshu said helplessly.

“If you knew he was my grandson, then you wouldn’t have said all those things? Are you implying that it’s not wrong for you to say that if it’s someone else’s son?” Guan Liya asked coldly.

“I didn’t mean it that way, Mrs. Qi, I…”

Yang Yunshu did not have any opportunity to complete her sentence as the old lady had already waved her hand and was sick of hearing Yang Yunshu’s voice.

“Director Zhao, we have no intention of using our status to bully others, or else some people might call us uneducated hooligans. Danchen is your employee, so naturally that entails your company’s rules and regulations. We’re in no place to interfere.” Though the old lady spoke gently and was seemingly appearing to reason with them, her expression was so solemn that it elicited the reverence of everyone there.

“I came here today as Youxuan’s great-grandmother and I’m trying to talk some sense into Miss Yang,” the old lady remarked coldly.

“Madam, I’ve made a mistake.” Yang Yunshu hurriedly offered, “Can you please give me a chance to personally say sorry to Youxuan?”

“That’s not necessary.” The old lady would never give her the chance to see Youxuan. That would give Yang Yunshu an opportunity to mingle with the upper-class people.

“Director Zhao, you seem to be suggesting that Miss Yang was the one who caused Ruan Danchen trouble. We won’t interfere with this as this is your company’s internal problem, but we hope you can act justly on this,” Guan Liya remarked solemnly.

“Yes, yes. Don’t worry.” Director Zhao nodded a couple of times.

“Okay then, we’ll be on our way. Danchen’s not here so we came here for nothing,” the old lady said. Guan Liya helped her immediately.

“I’ll send the both of you off,” Director Zhao said and followed suit blindly.

“No need,” Guan Liya said coldly.

Nevertheless, Director Zhao still followed suit and sent them to the elevator before coming back.

The minute he entered into his office, Director Zhao pointed at Yang Yunshu’s nose and said angrily, “Go and apologize to Ruan Danchen right now, and resign immediately after that! You’re a good-for-nothing except dragging the company down in the mud. Instead of thinking about how to do your job properly, all you know is play unethical and dirty tricks all day. Last time it was Song Yu, and if it wasn’t for me pleading on your behalf, both you and Chengshi would have no future in this field. In the end, you still haven’t learned your lesson. You thought that Ruan Danchen has no good background and makes for an easy target, is that it?”

“No, Director Zhao, please give me another chance. I’ll make it up to you. I won’t dare to do that kind of thing anymore. I really didn’t target Ruan Danchen on purpose. I was just thinking of the company’s good when I told your wife everything that I saw. I didn’t exaggerate or anything. No one would’ve had known that it was all a misunderstanding,” Yang Yunshu begged miserably. If it were not for her own dignity, she would have cried right there and then, and if she was asked to kneel down, she probably would have done so too.

She knew that she could no longer pursue a career in that field if she was fired. Even though the old lady and Guan Liya came because of Qi Youxuan, it was also Ruan Danchen’s interest that they came and put pressure on the company.

How lucky was Ruan Danchen and Song Yu to be able to form a part of the Qi family? If it was just any other rich family with a small business, the two women might not even be worth envying. It just had to be a family as prestigious as the Qi family, whose members were near-unfathomable for most ordinary people.

Song Yu and Ruan Danchen did not come from good backgrounds and were simply ordinary people, so why was it that they had such good lives?

“Hmph,” Director Zhao huffed. He did not believe her one bit. ‘Does Yang Yunshu think I’m stupid?’

“I don’t care whether it was a misunderstanding or not. You’ll resign after you apologize. If your attitude was slightly better, Ruan Danchen wouldn’t have blamed you, and Qi Chenglin wouldn’t have even resorted to such drastic measures.” Director Zhao, however, was of the opinion that the likelihood of all that was low.

Even if Ruan Danchen did not hold a grudge against Yang Yunshu, Qi Chenglin would not have taken it lightly when Yang Yunshu cursed at Qi Youxuan like that. Moreover, Qi Chenglin would definitely not have just let his woman be violated, especially since Yang Yunshu’s gossip nearly caused Ruan Danchen to be taken advantage of by Xu Haode.

After Director Zhao finished talking, he did not want to look at Yang Yunshu a second longer. She had been the bane of the company, offending the Gods of Wealth that gave the company business. He was still worried about Chengshi’s declining results since Song Yu had left, but with Ruan Danchen there, Chengshi could still be reasonably well off. How unfortunate that the same thing happened again.

He quickly went to think of a way to make Ruan Danchen stay.

Director Zhao turned around and left, leaving behind Yang Yunshu pale-faced and grieving. She whimpered, covered her mouth, and ran out to the ladies’ room.

Her colleagues from the design department ignored her and were secretly rejoicing. When Yang Yunshu was hitting down the already fallen Ruan Danchen, those colleagues did not come to Ruan Danchen’s aid, but they did not join in and target her either.

…

…

Director Zhao went back to his office and phoned Ruan Danchen immediately. At the same time, she was at home preparing for the part of Qilin’s job application that required her to do a written test. If she managed to complete it, she would then proceed to the face-to-face interview.

She picked up the call from Director Zhao and heard him in an even more polite tone then before. “Danchen, I’ve already chastised Yang Yunshu. When are you going to come back? I’ll let her apologize publicly to you and after that, I’ll have her fired. I promise that you’ll get justice.”

Ruan Danchen continued listening and realized that the first call he had given her was solely because of the business that she brought to the company. Back then, he tried to advise her to come back. On the second call, his tone was laced with attempts to curry favor with her and he was being extremely cautious when talking to her.

She shifted her gaze from the computer and spoke softly, “You were reluctant to agree to it last time, didn’t you, Director Zhao? Only a short time had passed since then, and now you’re agreeing to it already?”

“I didn’t immediately agree because I wanted to find a better solution for all this. Danchen, please don’t worry, my company will not let the same thing happen again. Healthy competition among colleagues is allowed, but resorting to malicious tactics is strictly forbidden. She has already broken the company’s rules and crossed the line, and I won’t want this kind of employee of course. I’ll add one more line to the company’s constitution—employees must strive to create a good working environment for each other in the company,” Director Zhao said nicely.

“But please, don’t misunderstand my intentions. This has nothing to do with Qilin’s projects. Even if there were no projects, I’ll still deal with Yang Yunshu,” Director Zhao hastily explained.

Ruan Danchen thought for a moment before nodding and saying, “Director Zhao, let me check my schedule.”

She placed her phone aside and went to Baidu to check the interviewer’s messages.

Although she had yet to take the written exam, she was rather confident in it. Qi Chengyue had been kind enough to give her the complete set of examination papers.

After completing her read of the interviewer’s details, she took up her phone and said plainly, “Director Zhao, I’m sorry, but after checking just now, I’ll only be free next week. Try and see if that’s okay for you?”

Director Zhao had his phone put to his ear the entire time and finally heard Ruan Danchen’s reply. He knew she was doing it on purpose, but he could not lose his temper at her. “Sure, sure.”

He then hung up without daring to ask further. He was afraid Ruan Danchen would be annoyed with those questions

He let out a sigh. Lots of other people were big bosses, not just himself, but his role as a boss was plagued with a medley of unending issues!

…

…

In the afternoon, Ruan Danchen went to Qilin, but because she was afraid Qi Chenglin might know, she did not ask Xiao Yang to send her. Instead, she took a cab there.

She was scared at the thought of meeting Qi Chenglin there, but then again, she remembered that he was Qilin’s general manager. He probably would not just waltz around without a purpose in the lobby.

When Ruan Danchen got off the cab, however, she did not expect to see Qi Chengyue waiting at the entrance.

Ruan Danchen was feeling shy. It was far too obvious for Qi Chengyue to be waiting in the open.

“Danchen!” Qi Chengyue waved immediately after spotting her.

Ruan Danchen walked over speedily and scanned the surroundings. Thankfully, it was office hours, so there were no people there and it would not attract too much attention.

“Why did you wait for me here?” Ruan Danchen came over and said embarrassedly.

“I was worried you couldn’t find your way.” Qi Chengyue smiled. The truth, however, was that Qi Chenglin called her and asked her to go down and fetch Ruan Danchen.

Qi Chengyue held Ruan Danchen’s arm intimately and led her in. When they waited for the elevator, its doors opened to reveal Luo Yushu standing inside. His mind went blank and he forgot that he was supposed to actually come out of the elevator.

“Miss Qi, Miss Ruan,” Luo Yushu greeted immediately. From inside the elevator, he placed his hand on the doors to prevent them from closing. In his mind, he was amazed to see Ruan Danchen being on such good terms with the Qi family.

“Manager Luo,” Qi Chengyue smiled and greeted back.

“Hehe, are you here to meet our General Manager, Miss Ruan?” Luo Yushu asked, smiling.

Apart from the Qi family, there were probably no other people in the company who knew of Ruan Danchen’s status, so Luo Yushu was rather pleased that he was in the know.

Feeling slightly hard-pressed, Ruan Danchen did not know how to answer as she was afraid that Luo Yushu might tell Qi Chenglin that he saw her.

Besides her, Qi Chengyue smiled and remarked, “Not at all, Danchen’s here to apply for the job opening but she wants to keep a low profile and hide it from my big brother. She’s afraid that he would bring her in through the back door, which will be a bad effect on the company. Don’t tell anyone, okay.”

Luo Yushu looked at Ruan Danchen puzzledly. ‘How is it low profile when Qi Chengyue came to personally escort you up?

‘Moreover, the new position in the design department seemed to have popped up quite recently. How coincidental that Ruan Danchen is here. The position couldn’t possibly have been made specifically for Ruan Danchen, right?’

The pressure at work would be hellish with the addition of the general manager’s future wife.

“Don’t worry, I promise not to say anything,” Luo Yushu flashed a smile and said. He walked out of the elevator and kept the door open for them to get in.

When they got out, Qi Chengyue brought Ruan Danchen to the meeting room where the written test was held. The test had not yet started, and before they made the turn to reach the room, they were already hearing noisy gossip from the corner of the corridor.

Grandmother Qi: “Well, it’s not really teaching a lesson. It’ll be so embarrassing if we showed our hand. Why should we give her face?”

Song Yu: “All that your grandma and great-grandma has to do is just stand there. That’s already enough.”

Qi Chengzhi: “Leave the rest to your dad.”
