Chapter 404: Chapter 403: Please Take a Vacation
Seeing the office door open, Ouyang Lieqing walked in with a radiant smile, laughing aloud, “President Li Gang, it has been a long time—”
Following behind Ouyang Lieqing were Ouyang Feiting and Ouyang Feiqiang.
However, just as Ouyang Lieqing stepped into the office, he realized that the person sitting behind the desk was not Li Gang, but a young man.
Ouyang Lieqing quickly blinked and took a closer look; this young man was not Li Zhe either.
In that dazed moment, Ouyang Lieqing suddenly thought that this young man bore a striking resemblance to Wang Yan.
But still, Ouyang Lieqing had firmly believed that it should be the Li father and son in the office, so when he unexpectedly saw Wang Yan sitting there, he was momentarily stunned. He stood still in the center of the office, staring at Wang Yan, and for some time couldn’t utter a single word.
Ouyang Feiqiang, not recognizing Wang Yan, noticed the absence of both Li Gang and Li Zhe and quickly asked, “Where is President Li Gang? Where is Young Master Li Zhe? Where did they go? Are you one of his staff?”
To Ouyang Feiqiang, Wang Yan seemed merely like an employee under Li Gang.
Upon hearing Ouyang Feiqiang’s words, Ouyang Lieqing finally snapped out of his shock and suddenly realized, coming to his senses with a laugh, “I understand now, Wang Yan, could it be that Gangzhe Group has acquired Peak Group? And now, you are working for Gangzhe Group.”
Hearing that this person in front of them was Wang Yan, Ouyang Feiqiang immediately displayed disdain on his face, coldly scoffing, “So you’re the Wang Yan who is pursuing my sister. What a pity, you’re like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. If my sister marries Li Zhe in the future, you’ll be her subordinate. Haha, it’s such a cliché drama plot.”
Wang Yan was slightly startled, glanced at Ouyang Feiting, and saw her continuously winking at him, which made him understand most of the situation. He then turned to look at Ouyang Lieqing and asked, “So President Ouyang intends to marry Feiting to Li Zhe?”
Ouyang Feiting hurriedly corrected him, “Not to Li Zhe, but to the current owner of Gangzhe Building.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan immediately understood everything. Yet hearing that Ouyang Lieqing wanted to marry Ouyang Feiting to him, he couldn’t help but blush.
Wang Yan had been in contact with Ouyang Feiting**** yet never broke through that last barrier of ambiguity between them; Wang Yan was also quite naïve about matters of romance. Hearing suddenly that Ouyang Feiting wished to marry him made his heart flutter involuntarily, which caused his face to flush.
Ouyang Lieqing had been observing Wang Yan, and when he saw Wang Yan’s face turn red, he misunderstood.
He thought he had guessed correctly, that Wang Yan truly worked for Gangzhe Group, and felt embarrassed about his beloved Ouyang Feiting marrying his boss, so he felt a bit sad.
Ouyang Lieqing then laughed heartily, “Wang Yan, what a pity! My Ouyang Family is wealthy and noble; someone like you, a poor laborer, could never rise to marry our Feiting. Better for you to find a regular female employee at Gangzhe Group; that would make a more fitting match.”
However, as Ouyang Lieqing said this, Wang Yan was hardly paying any attention, letting his words go in one ear and out the other. He kept his head down, contemplating Ouyang Feiting’s earlier words, unsure if they were true or just spoken to appease Ouyang Lieqing.
Ouyang Lieqing talked for a while, noticing that Wang Yan remained unresponsive, seeming as if he had already given in. Feeling extremely pleased, all the frustrations from that day outside Wanghai Police Station were vented.
Ouyang Lieqing coldly snorted, “Enough, I have nothing to say to a mere minor employee.”
Ouyang Feiqiang also snorted, “Dad, why waste so much time on these poor souls.”
Ouyang Lieqing nodded, turned to Fang, and immediately switched to a kind smile, asking, “Would you be kind enough to bring out the president?”
Fang and Li had been standing by, observing the disrespect from Ouyang Lieqing and his son toward Wang Yan, but seeing Wang Yan remain silent, they found it inappropriate to interject.
Upon hearing Ouyang Lieqing speak to them, Fang first shot a glare at father and son, then walked in front of Wang Yan, respectfully saying, “President, two gentlemen are here to see you.”
Seeing Fang speak to Wang Yan, the Ouyang father and son froze, staring blankly at Fang, momentarily unable to speak.
After a while, Ouyang Lieqing stammered, “We want to… wish to see… the president…”
Fang coldly glanced at Ouyang Lieqing, pointed to Wang Yan, and said, “This is our President.”
Ouyang Feiqiang hastily shook his head, “We are looking for the president of Gangzhe Group.”
Li coldly snorted, “Gangzhe Group no longer exists; this very morning, it was merged into Peak Group. If you are seeking a president, there is only one here, and that is President Wang Yan.”
“Then where are Li Gang and Li Zhe?” Ouyang Feiqiang asked nervously.
“If you are looking for Li Gang and his son, they can’t be found here,” Fang replied.
“Then where can we find them?” Ouyang Lieqing inquired.
“The prison!” Fang and Li answered in unison.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lieqing involuntarily stepped back, his legs giving way, almost falling to the ground, while Ouyang Feiqiang was thunderstruck, standing stiffly, mouth agape, unable to say a word.
Finally, after a moment, Ouyang Lieqing tremblingly asked, “You mean Gangzhe Group is now gone, and this place now belongs to Peak Group?”
Fang and Li nodded immediately.
Upon hearing this affirmative response, the Ouyang father and son were astounded, staring blankly at Wang Yan, momentarily unable to accept this reality.
The enormous Gangzhe Group had vanished in a single morning, and it was because of this young man in front of them, the same young man whom Ouyang Feiqiang had scornfully described as “a toad wanting to eat swan meat.”
At the same time, Ouyang Lieqing realized that if Wang Yan could acquire Gangzhe Group, Peak Group must have significantly strengthened, possibly even enough to merge with Ouyang Group one day.
Currently, Ouyang Group was enduring a turbulent time, even without external interference. It might not weather the crisis, let alone now face an unexpectedly formidable adversary.
How foolish he had been, doubting Wang Yan’s identity despite seeing him sitting in the president’s office.
At that moment, Ouyang Lieqing suddenly thought of something, quickly turned his head, glared at Ouyang Feiting, and asked, “You knew all along, didn’t you?”
Ouyang Feiting mischievously winked at Ouyang Lieqing, then walked over to Wang Yan, resting a hand on his shoulder, gently saying, “Brother Wang Yan, my father’s intention in coming is to invite someone to accompany me for a vacation!”
