“what are you guys doing? the chairman has said that when miss chi comes, no matter what he’s doing, miss quan must be the first to go up. how dare you stop miss quan? this is outrageous.” the man’s voice suddenly rang out, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
even chi jiao and beitang lie turned their heads and looked behind them in unison.
a young man in his thirties, wearing a suit, walked over. he wore rimless glasses and his hair was neatly combed back, revealing his fair face. the man could not be considered very handsome, but upon closer inspection, his appearance was somewhat similar to quan ye’s. his bearing was also extraordinary, and it was clear that he was not an ordinary person.
” mr. quan … ” the front desk lady, who had been very smug earlier, immediately lowered her head the moment she saw the man.
however, there was no fear in the front desk lady’s eyes. instead, she looked disdainful, as if she looked down on this man.
chi jiao’s attention was all on the man’s name.
quan shu was indeed a member of the quan family.
she remembered that quan shu was quan huirong’s son. he had taken his mother’s surname, but he did not have much status in the quan family. all the limelight had been stolen by quan hai’s two sons. in the quan corporation, he was only a team leader in the product development department. his status was not considered high.
chi jiao realized that quan shu was completely different from the rumors of his cowardly appearance. he had an innate sense of righteousness. even if he was standing up for chi jiao at this time, he didn’t show any fawning expression to chi jiao. his indifferent appearance made people feel good about him.
“mr. quan, i’m just following the rules.” the front desk lady said with her head lowered.
“your rules aren’t rules. the rules the chairman said are the rules. since you’re so insistent on making things difficult for the future chairman’s wife, you don’t have to work in the quan corporation anymore. go to the finance department, collect your salary for this month, and leave the company.” quan shu said with a tough attitude.
the front desk lady was surprised and said loudly in disbelief, ” “no, you have no right to fire me!”
“then i’ll wait with miss chi. we’ll see if the chairman will speak up for you or stand on my side when he comes later.” quan shu’s face was cold and expressionless.
the receptionist’s face turned pale, and she ran away in tears.
on the other side, quan shu turned around and smiled at chi jiao, ” “miss chi, you’ve suffered.”
” thank you, mr. quan, for helping me out. if it’s convenient, why don’t you come with me to see brother quan? i’ll treat you to a cup of tea. ” chi jiao observed quan shu’s reaction as she spoke.
to chi jiao’s surprise, after quan shu heard her suggestion, he actually shook his head and rejected her, ” “no need, i just happened to pass by and helped to say a few words. speaking of which, when miss chi gets married in the future, she’ll still be my sister-in-law. we’re a family, so you don’t have to be polite. i still have work to do, so i’ll be leaving first. please go ahead, miss chi.”
with that, quan shu and chi jiao nodded and turned to leave.
chi jiao stared at quan shu’s back until he left, then she sighed and said, ” “it’s really fresh,”
“boss, what’s wrong?” beitang lie asked curiously.
” this is the first time i’ve met someone from the quan family who’s willing to talk to me nicely. he actually said we’re family. ” chi jiao was indeed a little surprised.
it wasn’t like chi jiao had never met the quan family before.
at the very least, among the quan family members she had met so far, no one had thought highly of her.
