When they returned to Qi Kai, it was close to the evening when everyone left work.
The whole company was still very busy. Qi Lei had been absent from the office for quite a few days now. With Qi Feng’s ruckus with the HR Department earlier, everyone thought it was odd that Qi Lei would suddenly show up, especially when they saw their usually playful Mr. Qi looking grim at the moment.
The moment Qi Lei returned to the office, he went straight to his office.
…
When he saw Qi Lei placidly sit down in his chair and began to leisurely pack away the things on his desk, Yang Sheng said worriedly, “Master Qi, are we just going to leave the company like this? Do we need to coordinate with CEO Qi to avoid…”
Without even looking at him, Qi Lei reached out to take the photo frame from the table and looked at the photo of Wang Qin. After a while, he put it inside the box. “No need for that. Once I walk out of the door, I don’t think I’ll get a chance of returning again which will be exactly what they want. I’m just a disposable character to them, after all. Quickly pack up. I want to go home and cook dinner. Also, remember to inform our people that whoever wants to work with me can just report for work at Chenye Movies and Television.”
“Master Qi…”
“Don’t doubt any of my decisions. I’ve been deploying for this matter for a long while now. The new company matters have been prepared by my mother’s trusted aides. With them around, it won’t be too tough. I think after the New Year, the new company can begin business operations. When that happens, the resources for Chenye Movies and Television from here will be transferred over. It’ll just be like changing the name for Chenye Movies and Television.”
As for Mu Yuchen and Qi Lei’s agreement, Yang Sheng did not know about it, and right now at this point, Qi Lei did not feel the need to hide anything.
However, when Yang Sheng heard this, he was shocked!
Did that mean that Chairman Mu’s Chenye Movies and Teleivision was just an empty shell?
Noticing the shock in Yang Sheng’s eyes, Qi Lei picked up a stack of documents from the table and put it into the box as he explained, “Mu Yuchen has invested in the new company as a partner while the operations will be our job. Chenye Movies and Television still exists. After all, it does have Yueying Culture Media Company’s movies. Glory World’s focus isn’t on the entertainment industry. Mu Yuchen’s projects right now include estates too, and those are enough to worry him. He won’t bite off more than he can chew. He’s not such a thoughtless person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t do this, but no matter what, his and Xiaye’s thoughts, I…”
At this point, Qi Lei did not continue. He sighed and then continued to quietly put away the documents on the table.
Yet, inside Qi Qiming’s office, the news that Qi Lei was back in the office had practically reached Qi Qiming right away.
The secretary had gone to get Qi Lei over quite a few times, but he did not respond, and when they saw him packing up, they quickly rushed back to report to Qi Qiming.
Qi Qiming thought about it for a moment, then finally could not help but get up and rushed to Qi Lei’s office.
…
Inside Qi Lei’s office.
Qi Lei roughly packed away his things, and then put his resignation letter on the table before slowly getting up while Yang Sheng carried a half-filled box and followed after him.
Qi Lei headed towards the door. When they were about to walk out, he still could not help but stop and turn around to look at this office. Complicated sadness involuntarily filled his dark eyes.
When he saw Qi Lei suddenly stop walking, Yang Sheng hesitated and softly called out to him, “Master Qi…”
Qi Lei sighed, then blinked a little sorrowfully.
This place did contain his mother, Wang Qin’s decades of blood, sweat, and tears. At the moment when he left like this, he probably would not be stepping foot in here again. Qi Lei could not help but feel sad. He was not sure if it was because he might miss it or because of something else.
“We’ll start over. I’ll give my mother a new Qi Kai and comfort her soul in the heavens that all her years of work didn’t go to waste and that she didn’t lose to anyone either. Her son won’t lose to anyone. I won’t give in!”
When Qi Lei said this, he sounded determined, then he suddenly turned around to pull open the door. However, just as the door was opened, a dark, tall figure greeted his sight!
Qi Qiming!
When he saw Qi Qiming’s gloomy and complicated gaze, Qi Lei only felt a coldness flash in his heart, but he did not call out to him. Instead, he looked at him coldly.
Qi Qiming looked at the unruly Qi Lei and then looked at Yang Sheng who was carrying a box behind him. His expression worsened.
“What are you planning on doing?” Qi Qiming’s eagle eyes were fixed on Qi Lei as he asked coldly.
Qi Lei casually put one hand into his pocket and casually looked at Qi Qiming. He did not look like his usual playful self. Instead, he appeared solemn. “I’ve left my resignation letter on the table. I’ll only take away what’s mine and I didn’t touch any of your things. Tomorrow, my lawyer will come over to discuss it with you.”
“Are you abandoning Qi Kai, abandoning the Qi family, and your own father?” Qi Qiming said through gritted teeth. As his breathing became a little heavy, you could tell that he was angry!
“Don’t make it sound so bad. Apart from being my father by name, what have you given me? All these years of fighting have worn me out. Let’s just have nothing to do with each other from now on,” Qi Lei said wearily. He sighed and silently lowered his head, not wanting to say too much. He walked past Qi Qiming and wanted to march away.
“Qi Lei! You’ve been reckless! What’s the meaning of this? Do you want to sever ties?” Qi Qiming quickly reached out to hold Qi Lei back. When he saw Qi Lei like this, he could not help but panic. It was like the way Wang Qin had left. His heart felt like it was missing a piece!
With his arm being held, Qi Lei frowned and did not hesitate to pull away Qi Qiming’s large hand. “Sever ties? I don’t think I’ve made Qi Kai my enemy. I’m just taking away what’s mine and what belongs to Mother, can’t I? Or were you already planning on passing on Qi Kai to me?”
As Qi Lei’s questioning voice brought a thick flavor of sarcasm with it, Qi Qiming looked even worse.
“Qi Lei, take back all the words you’ve said today. I can pretend that nothing happened. You’re still Qi Kai’s VP and we’re still family. Do you hear me?!”
Qi Qiming tried hard to suppress the anger surging in him and tried his best to stay calm.
