“…”

“You didn’t see it? Oh, then quick, go see it. Don’t forget to give me a ‘like’.”

“…”

“It’s good news. Of course, it’s good news.”

“…”

Finally, Grandmother Qi hung up contentedly. She opened her WeChat and saw that Grandmother Han had liked her picture. She could imagine Grandmother Han clenching her teeth as she pressed the ‘like’ button.

Thus, she commented on the picture she posted, [Thank you all for the likes and blessings in the comments. Xiao Han, I believe that one day, you will get a granddaughter-in-law too!]

As a result, Grandmother Han did not contact Grandmother Qi for many days after seeing that comment.

Qi Chenglin logged on to his WeChat too. He saved the photo Grandmother Qi posted and sent it to Ruan Danchen.

“Check your WeChat,” Qi Chenglin instructed.

Ruan Danchen opened her WeChat and opened her private chat with Qi Chenglin. She saw that he only sent the picture and did not text her anything else. Even so, Ruan Danchen could guess what he was implying.

Thus, without his prodding, she posted it onto her WeChat Moments without captioning anything but a blushing face emoji.

Right after she posted it, she received an abundant of likes and comments.

[Chen Siyu: Wow, so fast! So, you took leave today to register your marriage, huh!]

[Senior Du: Congratulations!]

[Manager Zou: Hehehehe, from now on I can call you Mrs. Qi in front of everyone.]

[Zhang Jitong: Good afternoon, Mrs. Qi!]

[Chen Libai: Congrats.]

[Chang Jingqiu: You’ve already gotten married? Wow, this is so sudden. You didn’t tell us a thing before either. Congrats! When will your wedding dinner be?]

Seeing Chang Jingqiu’s comment, Ruan Danchen was reminded of what happened yesterday afternoon. She did not want to reply to her comment.

Thus, she commented, [Thank you all for your blessings! I won’t be replying to your comments individually.]

[Yan Beicheng: Little Sister Ruan, it must be Qi Chenglin who forced you to post this picture!]

[Han Zhuoli: Little Sister Ruan, it must be Qi Chenglin who forced you to post this picture!]

[Gui Zhiqian: Little Sister Ruan, it must be Qi Chenglin who forced you to post this picture!]

[Wei Zilin: Little Sister Ruan, it must be Qi Chenglin who forced you to post this picture!]

[Wei Ziqi: Little Sister Ruan, it must be Qi Chenglin who forced you to post this picture!]

[Chu Zhaoyang: Definitely.]

[Yan Beicheng replying to Chu Zhaoyang: We do you always ruin our formation?]

[Han Zhuoli replying to Chu Zhaoyang: It’s disgraceful to break out of formation.]

[Gui Zhiqian replying to Chu Zhaoyang: You always stick out like a sore thumb!]

[Wei Zilin: Congrats, you two. I wish you a happy marriage.]

[Wei Ziqi: Congratulations.]

[Han Zhuoli: Nooo, Wei Zilin said it before me. Little Sister Ruan, congratulations. Alright, that’s all from me. My grandma is calling.]

[Yan Beicheng: Congratulations! Wish you two a happy marriage. I’d also like to give my sympathy to Zhuo Zi 1.]

[Chu Zhaoyang: Congrats. My sympathies to Zhuo Zi.]

[Gui Zhiqian replying to Han Zhuoli: Praying for you.]

[Wei Zilin replying to Han Zhuoli: Praying for you.]

[Wei Ziqi replying to Han Zhuoli: Praying for you.]

[Yan Beichang replying to Han Zhuoli: Praying for you.]

[Qi Chengzhi replying to Han Zhuoli: Praying for you.]

[Qi Chenglin replying to Han Zhuoli: Praying for you.]

Chu Zhaoyang was too lazy to type, so he sent a picture of a red praying candle instead.

…

After lunch, Qi Zhongliang and Qi Zhongxun returned to Qilin Technology. Qi Chenglin needed to send Song Yu back to Viewpark Residences, so Qi Chenglin, Ruan Danchen, Qi Chengyue, and Cheng Dongge returned to Qilin Property first.

The four of them used the private elevator instead of cramping in with everyone else.

Right after they entered the elevator, Chang Jingqiu walked through the Qilin’s front entrance.

She wanted to contact Qi Chenglin that morning but realized that he did not give her his contact. Hence, like everyone else, she could only contact Jiang Yuan.

Chang Jingqiu was quite displeased by that. She felt that in his eyes, she was just everyone else — nothing special, nothing distinct. She did not want him to see her as ordinary.

After all, she was the precious daughter of the Chang family. Although she was a maternal granddaughter, she still carried the Chang surname — that was already something that should have sent her apart for the others.

Jiang Yuan told her that Qi Chenglin would not be coming in this morning, so he inquired why she wanted to see him.

Chang Jingqiu told him she wanted to interview him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan replied, “I’m sorry but our general manager has no intention of accepting any interviews at this time or in the near future.”

“That can’t be true,” Chang Jingqiu blurted out hastily, “Young Master Lin had agreed to let me interview him. He was the one that told me to book an appointment with you.”

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. Maintaining his distant yet polite tone, he asked, “May I have your name, miss?”

“I am Miss Chang, Chang Jingqiu.”

Hearing that, Jiang Yuan finally understood the situation. When Qi Chenglin came back from lunch with Chang Zhiyuan, Jiang Yuan noticed that he was in quite a good mood — yet not the kind of good mode he got into when business meetings were a big success.

Jiang Yuan analyzed Qi Chenglin’s expression and concluded that his good mood could completely be credited to his wife, Mrs. Qi’s expert coaxing.

Besides, Qi Chenglin even instructed Jiang Yuan specifically to deny Chang Jingqiu’s interview request with whatever excuse he could cook up.

“Miss Chang, my apologies but our general manager really isn’t taking any interview requests right now. Besides, his schedule is too packed for that,” Jiang Yuan explained.

“But it was your general manager himself who told me to contact you,” Chang Jingqiu insisted.

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes. He sensed that their conversation was slowly turning into an endless cycle.

“You see, the reason the general manager told you to contact me is to check if he has time to accept your interview. However, I had just checked his schedule just now and it’s completely packed — he has no time. It will remain that way for these three months. Why don’t you try again three months later, miss?” Bored with the conversation, Jiang Yuan played with the phone’s coil cord. He wanted nothing more but to get rid of Chang Jingqiu swiftly.

Even so, he still sounded exceedingly professional and courteous.

If Chang Jingqiu’s only intention was to interview Qi Chenglin, she would have unyieldingly asked to book his time three months from now. However, to Chang Jingqiu, the interview was only an excuse to get closer to Qi Chenglin. If she had to wait three months for that, how could she possibly get close with him?

“Why don’t you ask your general manager about it first? Just tell him Chang Jingqiu called about the interview and see if he accepts it. You haven’t even asked him yet you’re rejecting my request on your own accord. You don’t have the right to do that,” Chang Jingqiu condemned, clenching her teeth.

“It is one of my responsibilities to arrange the general manager’s schedule and deny appointments for him. I am merely doing my job, Miss Chang. I hope you can understand that. Besides the interview, is there anything else I can help you with, Miss Chang?” asked Jiang Yuan. He was like a rock that could not be moved.

“Will your general manager be around this evening?” Chang Jingqiu inquired coldly. She did not want to waste her breath on him anymore.

“He will return this evening,” Jiang Yuan told her honestly.

“Alright, I will call again in the evening,” Chang Jingqiu declared aloofly. She hung up and thought that she ought to put Jiang Yuan in his place whenever she had the chance.

However, when evening came, Chang Jingqiu changed her mind. Instead of calling Jiang Yuan and inevitably being denied by him, she decided to head straight to Qilin.

Unsurprisingly, she was stopped at the front desk.

Chang Jingqiu did not pester the receptionist; instead, she called Jiang Yuan again. “Mr. Jiang, hello. This is Chang Jingqiu. I’m at Qilin’s front desk right now and I’d like to see Young Master Lin. Could you please inform the receptionist lady about it?”

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows. Just then, Qi Chenglin marched in with springs in his step — evidently, he was in high spirits.

Jiang Yuan had also scrolled through his WeChat Moments in the afternoon and so knew about Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen registering their marriage as well. Consequently, he knew the reason behind his sunny disposition.

Jiang Yuan covered the phone receiver and smiled at Qi Chenglin. “General Manager, congratulations.”

Qi Chenglin was over the moon. He adjusted his tie and patted Jiang Yuan’s shoulders amicably. “Thank you. I’ll send you an invitation to my wedding and bring you wedding candy. And when I have a child, I’ll be sure to give you red eggs 1.”

“…” Jiang Yuan laughed. His general manager was so excited about the future that he had forgotten to maintain his image at the moment.

“Ah, General Manager, Chang Jingqiu called. She’s at the front desk now and she wants to see you,” Jiang Yuan revealed.

“I’m not seeing her. I’m busy,” Qi Chenglin declared firmly. He frowned when he heard the name, Chang Jingqiu.

Jiang Yuan knew his schedule full well — he would stay in his office all-day and definitely had time to see her.

Despite that, he nodded. “She called this morning about the interview, but I pushed her away.”

“Just keep pushing her away. Don’t worry about upsetting her. We don’t need to save the Chang family any embarrassment. I’m not meeting this woman,” Qi Chenglin declared. His expression was telling Jiang Yuan, ‘Chang Jingqiu does not have good intentions and you know it.’

Jiang Yuan expressed his understanding and removed his hand from the phone receiver. “Miss Chang, I’m sorry but the general manager is truly too busy to see you today. Why didn’t you warn us that you were coming? Why don’t you set an appointment now and I’ll arrange a date for you.”

Chang Jingqiu had entertained the possibility that Qi Chenglin did not want to see her and was only using Jiang Yuan to shoo her away. However, she did not believe that Qi Chenglin would dare to embarrass the Chang family so badly.

After all, the cooperation between Qilin and the Chang family was quite important.

She was slightly relieved to hear Jiang Yuan’s words. Thus, she inquired, “Then, if I make an appointment now, when will the general manager be available to meet me?”

“Didn’t I tell you this morning, Miss Chang? The general manager’s schedule is packed for the next three months,” Jiang Yuan lied. His lips were curled up into a smirk.

Qi Chenglin was going to enter his office, but as he placed his hand on the door handle, he heard the lie Jiang Yuan concocted to annoy Chang Jingqiu to death. Qi Chenglin stopped and turned to Jiang Yuan amusedly. He was intrigued by how Jiang Yuan was going to get rid of Chang Jingqiu.

Qi Chenglin knew that this assistant of his was notably capable. However, he never got to know what tactics Jiang Yuan used to get him out of some troublesome situations. Hence, he stayed and watched curiously.

Chang Jingqiu exploded instantly. Was Jiang Yuan trying to play her?

Who did he think he was? How dare he made decisions on his own accord!

“Mr. Jiang, are you toying with me?” Chang Jingqiu snapped as she took two steps further away from the front desk.

“I wouldn’t dare to,” Jiang Yuan said in a relaxed manner, “Miss Chang, you’re not here on business, are you?”

Chang Jingqiu was taken aback. She had planned to use this interview to get close to Qi Chenglin from the very beginning. She could not help but stagger when exposed like that. Despite all, she answered, “I am.”

“Miss Chang, your ‘business’ is to interview the general manager, right?” Jiang Yuan questioned.

“That’s right,” Chang Jingqiu replied, clenching her teeth.

“Ah, if you want to interview him, you have to book an appointment, right? The general manager is busy for these three months. You can make an appointment at a date later than these months. I’ll check if the general manager has time. Besides that, I’ll have to ask if he agrees to do the interview or not.” Jiang Yuan stared at the ceiling. He was starting to lose patience.

Meanwhile, Qi Chenglin was still standing there, listening to him talk for some reason.

Just then, the secretary came to deliver some documents and greeted, “General Manager Qi.”

Jiang Yuan beckoned her to simply put down the documents and leave.

Hearing the words ‘General Manager Qi’ through the phone, Chang Jingqiu blew up. Now, she knew for sure that Jiang Yuan was dismissing her.

Her fingers clutched onto the phone tightly. “Mr. Jiang, did I wrong you in any way?”

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows. “Miss Chang, what makes you think that?”

“I can’t help but feel that you are discriminating against me,” Chang Jingqiu growled.

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes. She was exhaustingly think-skinned!

“Miss Chang, you have misunderstood — I am simply doing my job.” Jiang Yuan’s tone was still very polite, letting all of Chang Jingqiu’s rage land on cotton wool, which merely absorbed and did not reflect.

“Well, in that case, I want to see Young Master Lin for a personal matter,” Chang Jingqiu corrected.

“If it’s a personal matter, please contact the general manager directly through his private number. I am only responsible for his work-related matters. His personal matters are not part of my responsibilities,” Jiang Yuan explained.

Chang Jingqiu was fuming. If she had Qi Chenglin’s phone number, she would never have called him!

“Could you please hand the phone to Young Master Lin? I have something to tell him,” Chang Jingqiu requested, clenching her teeth.

Jiang Yuan pouted. “Is it a personal matter or a business matter?”

“…”

“If it’s a business matter, please make an appointment. For now, I can relay your message to the general manager and get back to you when I have his reply. However, if it’s a personal matter, please contact the general manager directly through his private phone,” Jiang Yuan reiterated.

Chang Jingqiu felt that it was Jiang Yuan who was bringing her around in circles — there was no end to it.

“Fine,” Chang Jingqiu scoffed, right before she hung up in rage.

She clenched her teeth. She had already come all the way here — she was not about to leave empty-handed.

Suddenly, an idea sparked in her mind. She turned around and headed toward the front desk again. “Excuse me, I’m also here to see my old friend, Ruan Danchen.”

Meeting Qi Chenglin required a prior appointment, but Ruan Danchen was just an ordinary employee.

Chang Jingqiu thought that as long as she was granted access to the elevator, she could find a way to sneak into Qi Chenglin’s office.

The receptionist glared at her suspiciously. Chang Jingqiu was an outsider so she may not have known, but even the receptionist had heard from her coworkers in the design department that Ruan Danchen had taken the morning off the register her marriage with Qi Chenglin. Ruan Danchen had now become Mrs. Qi.

If it was anyone else that Chang Jingqiu wanted to meet, the receptionist would have sent her upstairs in the blink of an eye.

However, the person that Chang Jingqiu wanted to see was Ruan Danchen — there was no way she would simply let anyone go up to see her. Moreover, Chang Jingqiu’s expression just now made the receptionist extremely wary about her intentions toward the general manager.

In the past two years, she had not only gained experience in her job but had also got to meet all kinds of people. She had seen enough women coming to Qilin to stick onto Qi Chengzhi to be able to tell exactly what kind of woman Chang Jingqiu was at a glance.

Regardlessly, she maintained a polite smile and asked, “May I know which department is Miss Ruan working in?”

Chang Jingqiu staggered for a while. Then, she remembered that Ruan Danchen used to work in the design department in Chengshi, so she assumed that she would enter the same department in Qilin. Thus, she answered, “She’s in the design department.”

Observing Chang Jingqiu’s hesitant reply, the receptionist guessed that she was not close to Ruan Danchen. Therefore, she called Ruan Danchen’s desk through the intercom and told her about Chang Jingqiu.

Ruan Danchen was perplexed — she was never close to Chang Jingqiu, and her attitude had always been somewhat repulsive. Why would she come all the way here to see her?

However, after pondering upon it for a little longer, Ruan Danchen realized Chang Jingqiu’s real intention: Qi Chenglin.

Qi Chenglin had told her all about it. Naturally, Qi Chenglin would never give Chang Jingqiu the chance to get close to him by using the interview as an excuse.

Ruan Danchen was worried that Chang Jingqiu was plotting to use her only to get past the front desk.

The receptionist glanced at Chang Jingqiu and decided to warn Ruan Danchen indirectly, “Miss Chang is here to see the general manager and wanted too while she is here.”

Chang Jingqiu stared at the receptionist curiously. She had no idea what was her purpose of saying that.

Hearing that, Ruan Danchen knew that her assumption was spot-on. Hence, she smiled and answered, “Since she wants to see me, I’ll head downstairs now.”

The receptionist snickered at her reply. She hung up the phone and informed Chang Jingqiu, “Miss Ruan said she’s coming down to see you.”

“…” Chang Jingqiu’s face flushed red with wrath.

What use would Ruan Danchen be to her if she came down to meet her?

Her intention was never to see Ruan Danchen!

She thought, ‘How could that woman be so bad at reading situations? Not only did she bring her child to a class reunion, she even insisted on heading downstairs today, ruining my entire plan!’

A while later, Chang Jingqiu saw Ruan Danchen approaching her.

Ruan Danchen did not even greet her first. Instead, she smiled at the receptionist and thanked her.

In Chang Jingqiu’s eyes, Ruan Danchen was thanking the receptionist for ringing her up, but she could not figure out why she needed to thank her for that.

On the contrary, the receptionist knew that Ruan Danchen’s gratitude was for warning her about Chang Jingqiu’s intentions.

The receptionist was flattered — she was thrilled to be praised by the general manager’s wife. She even covered her face shyly.

“Danchen,” Chang Jingqiu greeted.

Only then did Ruan Danchen turn to her and smile. She walked toward her. “What made you want to see me?”

“I’m here on some errands and so I thought that since I’m here, I might as well see you too,” Chang Jingqiu explained and she grabbed onto Ruan Danchen’s arm eagerly. “Since I’m here, why don’t you bring me upstairs and let me look around.”

Ruan Danchen shot a glance at her as she bit the corner of her lips. Suddenly, Chang Jingqiu got a feeling that Ruan Danchen had seen through her plans.

“I can’t do that. Our company is very strict about not letting outsiders head upstairs without registering beforehand. People who want to visit have to make a call here to register their names and book a time. Then, they’ll have to bring along an interview card that our company will send over to be granted access to the elevator. If someone finds out that I brought you in without proper procedures, I’ll be punished.” Ruan Danchen stared at Chang Jingqiu with a distressed expression.

The receptionist was completely flabbergasted. Since when did their company adopt these procedures? Mrs. Qi was truly a talented woman.

“Then can’t I just register right now?” Chang Jingqiu questioned, furrowing her brows together.

Extra Mini-Scene:

NoDoNoDie 4

Ever since Ruan Danchen caught Qi Chenglin pulling out the Wi-Fi cable, she stayed mad at him until this day.

The consequences of an angry wife were dire.

In his office, Qi Chenglin pondered long and hard on how to obtain her forgiveness. Finally, he decided to download the game. Additionally, he asked Jiang Yuan to buy a max-leveled account for him.

That night, Ruan Danchen was playing the game on her laptop again. Qi Chenglin logged on to the game secretly and sent her a friend request.

When Ruan Danchen saw that the request was from a max-leveled gaming god, she accepted the request out of curiosity.

The user sent her a message in a private chat: [My dear wife, I’ll help you defeat the monsters.]
