Chapter 416: Chapter 414: Stay Away from Xiaomeng
Yu Qianqian hinted obviously, but Qin Hao completely ignored her flirtation and directly refused, "Oh, no need. Just focus on your work in the future. As for meals, let’s skip it."
Being rejected so directly by Qin Hao on the spot, Yu Qianqian felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She opened her mouth, just about to say something else, but Qin Hao shifted his gaze to Luo Jingwei and then smiled, "Director Luo, we haven’t finished discussing our work matters today. After work, let’s find a place to have dinner and continue our talk. What do you think?"
Luo Jingwei was stunned upon hearing this, clearly not expecting Qin Hao to take the initiative in inviting her to dinner. Naturally, she understood the implication in Qin Hao’s words.
Immediately, Luo Jingwei glanced at Yu Qianqian with a look of pride, then smiled and said, "Sure, I also have many work-related matters I don’t understand and need to consult you about, President Qin."
As she spoke, she also gave Qin Hao a charming smile, her eyes carrying a fleeting allure that sent ripples through Qin Hao’s heart.
Yu Qianqian looked on as Luo Jingwei quickly hooked up with this newly arrived President Qin, her heart filled with envy and anger.
After Luo Jingwei finished speaking, she waved at Qin Hao and turned to leave. Yu Qianqian wanted to say something to Qin Hao, but saw that he had already turned back to his office, closing the door with a bang, leaving Yu Qianqian outside.
At this point, Yu Qianqian’s face could no longer hold her embarrassment. She stood there, stomping her foot in frustration, then angrily muttered to herself, "Hmph! Luo Jingwei and you, President Qin, are both no good!"
"Just wait, I’ll make sure you both regret this!"
With that, she smirked coldly, then shot a deep glance at Qin Hao’s office before pulling out her phone to make a call.
The call connected quickly. Yu Qianqian took a few steps to a secluded corner of the hallway, and immediately began complaining into the phone with a sobbing tone.
"Hello, darling, I was just bullied! You don’t care about me, you heartless man, hmph!"
A deep male voice on the other end immediately said nervously, "Who dares to bully my woman? Baby, don’t worry, tell me who it is, and I’ll break his legs!"
Yu Qianqian’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction, but she still maintained her sobbing tone and said in a very aggrieved voice, "It’s someone from my company. Recently, a new damned vice president came, and he’s clearly not a nice guy. In just a few days, he cozied up to that bitch Luo Jingwei, and now they’re teaming up to bully me!"
"Waaah, darling, you’re not around, if you were, I definitely wouldn’t be bullied by them! Waaah!"
With that, the man on the phone became furious immediately, saying, "Damn it! A mere vice president dares to bully my woman! Baby, don’t worry, I’ll get back at them for sure!"
"Worst case, don’t work there anymore. Why put up with this crap, can’t I support you?"
Yu Qianqian immediately cooed flirtatiously, saying, "Hey, I’m just trying to find something to do! Darling, you absolutely must teach that shameless pair a lesson for me; they’re driving me insane!"
The man on the phone continued to reassure her intensely, and finally, Yu Qianqian smiled through tears. They exchanged sweet talk on the phone for a while before she hung up, her gaze turning icy as she looked towards Qin Hao’s office.
Time flew by, and another day quickly passed.
As work ended, Qin Hao had just left the office, ready to go home, when a black Audi car pulled up in front of Fenghua Mansion.
The car sped along quickly, causing pedestrians to dodge, while Qin Hao furrowed his brows, watching as the car raced towards him as if it were about to hit him.
Some onlookers immediately changed their expressions, shouting for Qin Hao to get out of the way, but he stood there motionless until the car was less than five meters away, when it suddenly braked sharply.
Screech——!!
The sharp sound of brakes pierced the air as the car’s tires stopped instantly, skidding five meters on the ground, stopping just as it touched the hem of Qin Hao’s coat.
The car door slammed open, and a muscular man with a smirk on his face jumped out, looking at Qin Hao as he said, "Haha, you’ve got some guts, kid!"
Qin Hao smiled slightly, his eyes sizing up the man briefly, then calmly said, "Not just brave, my fists are equally strong."
As soon as he finished saying this, the expression of the muscular man in a black suit changed immediately, letting out a cold snort as two more men in black suits descended from the rear of the car.
They were dressed like typical bodyguards, and after exiting, they directly surrounded Qin Hao.
The security guards from Fenghua Mansion also walked out immediately, but Qin Hao waved them back.
Seeing this, the burly man sneered, "Good, you have some insight, your pathetic company security can’t handle me even if there are ten of them!"
Qin Hao waved them off impatiently, then said, "If you have something to say, say it, if you have gas, pass it."
The burly man said immediately, "Don’t be so arrogant, kid. If it weren’t ordered from above to bring you back unharmed, you would have lost two legs by now!"
Qin Hao merely smiled at these words, remaining silent. He didn’t want to make a scene here, as Fenghua Mansion was Lin Yuhan’s company, and he didn’t want any bloodshed.
The man thought Qin Hao’s silence was out of fear, and said disdainfully, "Hmph! Get in the car, someone wants to see you."
With a slight nod, Qin Hao didn’t ask further, cooperatively opening the car door and sitting inside.
The car roared to life and drove straight to the Venus Hotel at the Provincial Government.
Inside the hotel, Qin Hao was taken directly to the third floor, which was all a luxuriously renovated banquet hall.
Soft, thick carpeting covered the entire floor, making Qin Hao feel uneasy with every step.
In the banquet hall, in front of one wall, a young man stood with his back to Qin Hao, his eyes fixated on several paintings hanging on the wall, absorbed in observation.
Qin Hao glanced at that back, feeling a deep sense of familiarity. Just as he felt this, the person turned around.
"It’s you?"
Seeing the person, Qin Hao spoke with some surprise. The young man was none other than Hou Qi.
"Ha, surprised? You must be here for the first time." Hou Qi’s tone was mocking as he looked at Qin Hao and spoke.
After accidentally seeing Qin Hao hand in hand with his high school crush Zhao Mengke last night, Hou Qi returned home fed up and immediately had Qin Hao investigated.
Soon, Qin Hao’s information was in his hands: Deputy General Manager of Fenghua Pharmaceutical Company. Instantly, Hou Qi looked down on Qin Hao even more.
A mere deputy general manager from an insignificant company like Fenghua Pharmaceutical Group. Hou Qi brought Qin Hao here today to humiliate him severely!
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao smiled calmly and remained silent.
Seeing Qin Hao’s calm demeanor, Hou Qi assumed he was pretending to be composed, but was actually overwhelmed by the high-end surroundings.
"Haha, you’re Qin Hao, right? A deputy general manager from a small company, what makes you think you’re good enough to be with someone as outstanding as Zhao Mengke?"
"Leave Xiaomeng, you’re not suited for her. Xiaomeng should be with me, living this cultured life, appreciating such high art. You’re just an ordinary person; the gap between us and you is larger than you can imagine!"
As he spoke, he pointed at the paintings on the wall and continued, "Do you understand these? A bumpkin, this kind of art is far removed from your nine-to-five life!"
