Chapter 31: Unbearable

When Qin Yuanging woke up, Li Chongge had already left. There was a note on the bedside table that he had left.

Qin Yuanging liked this traditional way of conveying messages, especially since Li Chongge’s handwriting was beautiful, which Qin Yuanging considered to be worthy of collection.

Qin Yuanging did not feel sentimental about Li Chongge’s departure. On the contrary, after feeling that his body had completely recovered, he threw himself into work with great enthusiasm.

Qin Yuanging drove to Wansheng on time. From today onwards, he would gradually take over some of Qin Haoting’s work.

Huichuang was able to successfully secure Kewei’s project and deliver a satisfactory result, which was largely due to Qin Yuanging’s efforts. Therefore, the dissenting voices within Wansheng gradually disappeared.

In fact, before this, Qin Yuanging had already been able to handle overseas business independently, demonstrating an extraordinary business talent.

However, seeing is believing. After returning to China, Qin Yuanging still needed to produce new achievements to prove himself.

In fact, Qin Yuanging understood that he was able to win the resort project entirely because of his relationship with Li Chongge.

However, as a businessman, personal connections are also a form of ability.

Therefore, even if someone knew the key to this, they would not bring it up for questioning.

After all, not just anyone can get close to Li Chongge.

Qin Yuanging’s office was on the 30th floor of Wansheng, and its area and decoration were completely different from his previous office in Huichuang.

Secretary Bai looked around, quite satisfied, feeling like a concubine from the cold palace had returned to the harem in triumph.

“President Qin… no, Little Qin, I heard that someone of your level should be equipped with at least two secretaries. What are your requirements? I’ll talk to HR.”

Qin Yuanging’s return to Wansheng not only meant a qualitative leap in his office space, but also a doubling of his workload. Although the shrewd Secretary Bai’s salary had increased, it had not doubled, so he was eager to find someone to share the work.

Qin Yuanging knew his little thoughts, but he didn’t expose them, because Secretary Bai was really unreliable.

“Just look for someone who meets Secretary Liu’s standards.”

A short sentence, but the conditions were actually quite harsh.

Secretary Bai held the folder and reminded Qin Yuanging in a low voice, “Little Qin, Secretary Liu can become Mr. Li’s chief secretary because her ability and level are difficult for ordinary people to reach. You’d better change your requirements. Sister Zhang from the HR department has a bad temper and a loud voice. When she scolds people, the office building across the street can hear her. Don’t make things difficult for me.”

Qin Yuanging glanced at his phone, crossed his arms, and compromised, “Even if she has one-tenth or one-twelfth of Secretary Liu’s ability, that’ll do.”

If he hired another Bai Xiaobai, Qin Yuanging’s blood pressure would really rise.

Secretary Bai left with a solemn promise, saying that he would definitely help Qin Yuanging get it done.

Qin Yuanging didn’t have much hope for this.

After experiencing Secretary Bai, Qin Yuanging’s requirements for a secretary were very low. He didn’t require them to be hardworking, considerate in every aspect, but at least they couldn’t be passive, lazy and gluttonous!

After a busy morning, Qin Yuanging didn’t want to go to the employee cafeteria for lunch. He called Qiao Gongyu and asked him to join him.

Qiao Gongyu’s company, B&G, was less than 500 meters from Wansheng.

Qiao Gongyu readily agreed and actively recommended a restaurant. They agreed to have lunch together there.

“Last time you were on vacation, I happened to be on a business trip. It’s a pity that I couldn’t get together with you.”

“We can get together next time, it’s just that everyone is busy, and there’s not much time to get together. But since we’re all in Jing City, there will always be a time when everyone is available.”

When Qin Yuanging spoke, his eyes would unconsciously glance at the screen of his mobile phone. He had sent a message to Li Chongge in the morning, but he had not received a reply until now.

This situation was actually not common. Although Li Chongge was very busy, he would usually reply to Qin Yuanging within half an hour.

“You’re back to work at Wansheng?”

Although Qiao Gongyu’s relationship with Qin Yuanging was not bad, if Li Chongge was not present, they would hardly ever have a meal alone.

Qin Yuanging suddenly thought of him today, and Qiao Gongyu could only think of the proximity as the reason.

“Yeah, I’m not young anymore, I should help my dad as much as I can.”

Qin Yuanging didn’t plan to take over so early, but Qin Haoting’s health was obviously not as good as before in the past two years. Although he looked healthy, he had high blood pressure and gout, so he still needed to pay more attention.

People’s energy is limited. Even if Qin Haoting still loves his work, he has to compromise with his gradually aging body.

“Then are you planning to move back home?”

Qiao Gongyu knew Li Chongge’s intentions towards Qin Yuanging very well, and he couldn’t help but worry about his friend at this moment.

After so much effort to get the person by his side, but the person turned around and wanted to move away, who wouldn’t be upset?

Qin Yuanging hadn’t thought about this. His current residence was a shorter distance from Wansheng than the Qin family’s villa, but if he moved back home, he could go to and from work with Qin Haoting every day.

Excluding these factors, the main reason Qin Yuanging didn’t want to move was Li Chongge.

At Qin Yuanging’s insistence, he would continue to juggle the work of Huichuang until the project was completed. But the day the project was completed also meant that Qin Yuanging and Li Chongge would no longer have any work-related interactions.

If Qin Yuanging moved away again, the two of them would return to the state where they couldn’t see each other for ten days and a half months.

It’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Qin Yuanging used to take it for granted and didn’t feel anything. But now, he really couldn’t bear it.

It’s funny to say, he originally wanted to stay away from Li Chongge before he came back, but contrary to his wishes, he gradually evolved into not wanting to leave Li Chongge’s side at all.

“I haven’t considered it yet, but I just moved out, and it’s troublesome to move things around. I’ll talk about it later.”

Qiao Gongyu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Yes, living outside also saves you from being nagged. As soon as I get home now, my mother urges me to get married. I’m afraid to see her. What about you? You said you’re not young anymore, doesn’t your aunt urge you?”

Qin Yuanging looked at Qiao Gongyu and smiled, “How could she not urge me? That’s why I’m going on a blind date the day after tomorrow.”

“Oh? Which family’s daughter is it?”

“Wei family’s Wei Jiuchan.”

Qin Yuanging had clearly refused this blind date to Yu Keci, and Yu Keci had also expressed her understanding, but for some reason Wei Jiuchan insisted on meeting him. The two families also had some business dealings, and it was not appropriate to ruin the relationship over such a small matter. So when Qin Yuanging received a call from Yu Keci this morning, although he was helpless, he had to agree.

Qiao Gongyu’s smile froze for a moment, but he still said, “Well, we are indeed at the age where we should consider starting a family. Li Chongge is also being urged by his family, and even when he goes on a business trip, Miss Lin from the Lin family goes with him.”

Qin Yuanging’s face stiffened slightly, and a bitter taste rose in his heart, even the refreshing lemonade was only sour.

Qin Yuanging turned off the screen of his mobile phone, no longer expecting a message that he didn’t know when would be replied to.
