Qin Gengxin frowned, "I realized that you don't want to work these days anymore. If you don't want to earn money for your child's powdered milk, go ahead. Scram after you get your last paycheck."
Huang Jingguo's eyelids twitched. "Alright, I won't say again. I really want to share with you about a father's experience, and I was treated like this! Boss, you are so unfair."
"F*ck off." Qin Gengxin frowned and cursed.
Huang Jingguo had been by his side for years, so he naturally knew that Qin Gengxin wasn't really angry. He was just impatient. Huang Jingguo immediately laughed and left after a while.
Qin Gengxin stared at the tightly closed office door, frowning slightly.
He suddenly thought of Xian Guiying's words in the children's hospital before. When he asked that question, she said, 'She's already moving in my stomach …'
Was pregnancy the greatest and weakest time for women?
Then why did she intend to endure the pain from the beginning? Even though she already knew that the child could be sick after birth, she still wanted to give birth to the child? Why didn't she complain at all?
A thought flashed through his mind. That day at the Xian Family Residence, as he rushed in, Xian Guiying's eyes held back the signs of shock and inevitable discomfort.
Then he remembered the day of the wedding day when pointing to the spot between her and him, drawing a line in the air with his finger. At that time, he said that since she had chosen to bind their relationship and their marriage in this way, their marriage would henceforth be nothing more than a thin line. An obstacle between them that she could never cross again, a distance that she would never reach.
At that time, her face was calm, and she still stood tall and straight.
Many scenes suddenly flashed through his mind.
Annoyed, Qin Gengxin slammed the document heavily on the table and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
The coffee cup on the table swayed along with the shaking of the table. It was just like his heart, shaking to the point where it was no longer stable.
****
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Mrs. Bai punctually arrived at the Qin Corporation's main office building. Although Qin Gengxin did not hold a meeting, he also arranged to meet with some people from the Secretary's Department to discuss a few things in the small conference room until the secretary's manager called the company call line and Qin Gengxin received the call.
"President Qin, Chairman Bai from Bai Group is here. She said that she had called you before to make an appointment to meet up with you."
In the morning, Huang Jingguo had mentioned this. Although Qin Gengxin did not refuse, he also did not make any special preparations. He just answered, hung up the phone, closed the document in his hands, and said, "For the next two weeks, I don't feel the need for me to tell you which project is most important. If you have any questions, ask Huang Jingguo. I have something to do, so I take my leave first."
After the people in the meeting room left, Qin Gengxin glanced at his phone and walked out calmly.
Mrs. Bai had been waiting for a long time in the special VIP lounge. Next to her, there was Bai Nuying, who wore clean office clothes.
The mother and daughter duo were in the middle of a conversation when Qin Gengxin pushed open the door and entered. He glanced at them once before Mrs. Bai smiled and nodded at him, "Are you done? I'm sorry if I am bothering you."
Bai Nuying looked at Qin Gengxin happily. Then, she stood up and respectfully nodded at him. "Hello, President Qin!"
Qin Gengxin's mouth twitched as he walked in. He first politely nodded at Mrs. Bai, "You've been waiting for a long time, right? I was talking to someone from the Secretary Department and took up quite a bit of time."
"I'm fine. It was originally a sudden invitation, yet you accepted my invitation in your busy schedule. Consider it was giving me a lot of faces." Mrs. Bai put down the teacup in her hand before turning her head to look at the blushing girl next to her. Frowning, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "This little girl, she really can't stay still. She always likes wandering around."
Bai Nuying smiled and looked at Qin Gengxin.
He also smiled at her. "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine, it's just a false alarm, but if you don't arrive on time that night, I'm worried that I'm really going to be harassed by those hooligans." Bai Nuying bit her lower lip and smile awkwardly.
Qin Gengxin just laughed calmly. "Since you're in Boston, as a host, I shouldn't have let you get hurt, so I blamed myself for not telling you in advance about those areas. Good thing you're fine."
"One of the two things I came here today was to thank you, President Qin, for rescuing my daughter that night and not letting her be tainted by those hooligans. I didn't expect this girl to just sit on the street like that when she went out at night."
"Gengxin, actually, you don't have to always call me Mrs. Bai, just Aunt Bai. We've known each other for a long time, and now that you've saved my daughter, we're no longer strangers. We're like family."
"Naturally, I never thought of you as a stranger. Still, we're in company, and the title we put out is just a form of address, isn't it, Mrs. Bai?" Qin Gengxin quietly changed the topic. He tucked his hand into his pocket casually, smiling naturally.
Mrs.Bai nodded and didn't pursue the matter as she continued, "The second thing I'm coming today is I'm going back to New York next week, and Nuying wanted to start her training in Qin Corporation tomorrow. Is it convenient for you to temporarily arrange a position for her?"
Ever since Mrs. Bai had come to Boston, Qin Gengxin already knew that this matter would happen. Thus, he curled his lips and said, "Bai Nuying just graduated, don't you want to let her play for another two years? Mrs. Bai, you really have the heart to let your daughter fly out so early."
"She already said that she wouldn't stay in the university anymore, so what can I do about it?" Mrs. Bai smiled helplessly and turned around to look at the embarrassed face of Bai Nuying. She then said with a faint smile, "I'll have to trouble you in the future, Gengxin."
"Alright, I'll get Huang Jingguo to arrange a job for her later, but since she's working in Qin Corporation, she should prepare to suffer the hardships here. Mrs. Bai, you should know my temperament."
"I know, just treat this girl as if she's a regular employee. There's no need for you to arrange special tasks."
"President Qin, I'm fine with any job, go ahead and arrange it." Bai Nuying interrupted the conversation.
Qin Gengxin nodded.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Bai seemed to know that Qin Gengxin was busy. Seeing that he sometimes looked up at the time, she knew that he had other things to do, so she just chatted for a while before leaving with her daughter.
When Mrs. Bai left, the smile on Qin Gengxin's face gradually faded. He turned his head to look at the two leaving figures sent by his secretary, and his expression darkened.
"Boss, are you really planning on putting her in the company?"
Huang Jingguo asked with uncertainty as soon as he entered the lounge,
Qin Gengxin didn't say anything. He just stood by the window and looked outside. He held a cigarette in his hand and a faint smoke lingered at his fingertips.
"Boss, it's not that I'm a blabbermouth. It was obvious that she liked you and wanted to get close to you by working here. If her goal were only this simple, then that would be fine. But who was Mrs. Bai? She is the most famous female profiteer in the American business world. How many outstanding business people have fallen into her hands over the past few years? Furthermore, who would be so willing to directly stuff meat into our mouths? On one side, there is the possibility of giving cooperation with our company, while on the other side, there is the possibility of sending her daughter as bait. Even though on the surface, she looks like she loves her daughter and follows her daughter's wishes, but according to Mrs. Bai's usual style, do you think she would possibly give us such a huge advantage so easily?"
Qin Gengxin took a puff on his cigarette and continued staring at the building across from him. "Of course she won't easily give out such a huge piece of meat."
Huang Jingguo was stunned for a moment. "Since you know about it, then Bai Nuying–"
"She will push her daughter out to be a fool. It's still too early to decide which one of us will be the one to end up with the benefit. We'll see who has the best acting skill. Me or her." With that, Qin Gengxin turned around and pushed the tip of his cigarette into the ashtray. He glanced at Huang Jingguo, "If she wants to suck my blood, you'll have to see if your boss will let her."
