After the morning meeting, not only was Qi Lei not punished, but he turned the situation around instead. Qi Qiming’s attitude towards him was odd for many others. Watching him change from being disgusted with his behavior to being protective was shocking for many. Even Qi Qiming’s subordinates were in disbelief, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Gu Lingsha had her doubts as well, so she went to Qi Lei’s office after the meeting adjourned. Qi Lei had wrapped up his discussion with the partners and was on his way to send them out. His eyes darkened when he noticed Gu Lingsha standing by his door.

“Can I go in and have a word with you?” Gu Lingsha looked at Qi Lei and asked.

Qi Lei squinted his eyes at her and asked coldly, “In what context?”

A light flashed in Gu Lingsha’s beautiful eyes as she answered, “As a colleague.”

Qi Lei put on a cold smile and walked back into his office. Gu Lingsha looked at him with a complicated gaze. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then she followed behind him and closed the door.

Qi Lei did not take another look at her. He tossed the document he was holding onto his table as he sat down on the chair. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, “State your business. I’m in a hurry.”

His cold tone held no room for a friendly chat as it was extremely business-like.

“Lei, Uncle Qi and you…”

“Manager Gu, is it your job to find out about other people’s private life during work hours?” Qi Lei interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

Qi Lei had clear boundaries. He had to admit that Gu Lingsha had given him a lot of pleasant memories during his childhood, but his patience had been running low with her as of late, especially after she made her choice. Utterly disappointed in her, he thought that they would walk on different paths.

“No, Qi Lei, listen to me. I just find it odd that…”

“Isn’t that what you hoped? Things are great between us and our relationship has improved significantly. Haven’t you always wanted us to get along? Why do you have that expression right now? Maybe you didn’t mean it, hmm?”

Qi Lei used a sarcastic tone that did not sound very pleasant to Gu Lingsha’s ears. She went forward and wanted to grab his arm, but he spun around and made the back of his chair face her.

The edge of the chair bumped into Gu Lingsha’s arm and she felt a painful sensation from her wound as she let out a soft cry, “Ah!”

Qi Lei did not look at her nonetheless. “I’m not obliged to explain it to you. Please leave if there’s nothing else.”

Gu Lingsha bit her lip as she put on a cold smile. She backed off and handed the document in her hands to Qi Lei. “Glory World sent over some documents when you weren’t around the past few days. If there’s no problem, then you can sign them.”

Qi Lei did not take them from her or turn around either.

“I didn’t know you hated me this much, Qi Lei. Just assume that it’s my fault if you think I’ve done something wrong, but stop going against your family anymore! I’d be really grateful if you did that.” She then left the documents on his table before giving him a long, hard look and leaving his office quietly.

She bumped into Yang Sheng the moment she left Qi Lei’s office. Yang Sheng was concerned as he noticed Gu Lingsha’s eyes were red and she had a gloomy expression.

“Manager Gu, what’s wrong?”

Gu Lingsha glanced at him and shook her head. She walked away without saying a thing, making Yang Sheng confused. When he walked into the office, Qi Lei was watering the plants.

“Master Qi, just now Manager Gu…she seems to be crying? What happened?” Yang Sheng asked.

Qi Lei paused for a little. He then resumed watering the plants and ignored Yang Sheng’s question.

Yang Sheng carefully observed him and noticed that he seemed to be unhappy. As he was about to report on the work progress, Qi Lei suddenly spoke, “Yang Sheng, what do you think can totally change a person in just a few years to the point that one could forget a 20-year-old friendship?”

Qi Lei looked deep into Yang Sheng’s eyes when he asked the question, expecting him to give him an answer.

Yang Sheng seemed to have understood Qi Lei. He replied, “Master Qi, maybe something was always there, but it was just hidden too deep and couldn’t be found. As for Manager Gu, I’m not going to comment on her, but you know very well that CEO Wang has always disliked her. Even though she is from a prestigious family, CEO Wang refused to accept her and I think that speaks volumes. CEO Wang would never hurt you, so following CEO Wang’s words will do you no harm.

“Also, I remember that Chairman Mu’s mother, Zhuang Shurong, disliked Manager Gu as well. When I investigated Chairman Mu before, I heard some rumors. Chief Zhuang visited Manager Gu before their marriage, and she was totally against their marriage. It seemed like Chief Zhuang actually splashed coffee all over Manager Gu’s face, and Manager Gu has been holding a grudge against her ever since. I suppose Chief Zhuang and CEO Wang had similar thoughts.” Yang Sheng suddenly remembered this!

Qi Lei frowned as he looked at him. “Do you mean Zhuang Shurong as in Chief Zhuang?”

Yang Sheng nodded. “Master Qi, Chief Zhuang and CEO Wang were schoolmates before. While they weren’t in the same class, they know each other.”
