“I won’t give up my position. Never!” Quan Jingzhou gritted his teeth.
“If you insist on being stubborn, we can only use force. We’ll give you three days. If you can think of a way to resolve the current predicament within three days, we’ll agree to let you try again. But if the corporation’s crisis is still present three days later, you have to give up your position.” With that, Mr. Dong turned around and strode out of the office with the others.
Quan Jingzhou finally couldn’t take it anymore. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Soon, news of the Quan Corporation’s situation spread throughout the industry.
Chi Mingwei couldn’t wait to share this good news with Chi Jiao.
Chi Jiao had yet to contact Yan Zhengchen and the rest when she heard the news.
“Quan Jingzhou has been trying his best to make things difficult for us. Now, it’s finally time for retribution. In the end, it’s all because Little Jue is amazing. Jiaojiao, Daddy used to think that he was too young and inexperienced, but now, I feel that he has surpassed us old folks,” Chi Mingwei said with a smile.
Chi Jiao’s heart instantly felt sweeter than honey upon hearing his praise. “As long as Brother Quan wants to do something, he will definitely succeed. Daddy, you are no longer worried now, right?”
Chi Mingwei said happily, “I was never worried. Call Quan Jue and tell him that all of you should come back early tonight. I will bring you and Auntie Lu Xian to eat delicious food.”
Chi Jiao understood that Chi Mingwei was eager to help them celebrate. She agreed and ended the call with him.
Chi Jiao continued to organize the massive piles of documents on her table. She was halfway through when she heard a prim and proper knock on the door.
“Come in,” Chi Jiao said without looking up as she flipped through the documents.
Pei Yao walked in with Shen Xing’s hand in hers. At this moment, Pei Yao was lecturing Shen Xing with a serious expression. “Little Xing, you can’t mess around all day. If you don’t listen to me next time, I’ll spank your little butt!”
Chi Jiao blinked at this scene and narrowed her eyes in confusion. “What happened?”
“Ask this little fellow yourself. He was so impetuous. He tormented that old woman behind our backs.” Pei Yao let go of Shen Xing’s hand and let it speak for itself.
Shen Xing stood rooted to the ground like a child who had made a mistake. It was rare for it not to have its usual arrogant expression. It lowered its head and did not even dare to meet Chi Jiao’s eyes.
Chi Jiao was also helpless. She looked at Pei Yao and said, “Sister Pei Yao, leave this to me. I’ll talk to him nicely. Go ahead and do your work.”
“Alright, don’t be too angry. Sometimes, children are just being naughty. It might not be intentional.” Pei Yao advised her worriedly before leaving the office.
After Pei Yao left, Chi Jiao pulled Shen Xing to sit down. She raised its head and forced it to meet her eyes. “Tell me, what happened?”
Shen Xing seemed to be in a dilemma as it stammered, “I… I don’t think I have anything to say.”
