Chapter 312: 312: Ye Wenhan Takes a Hit! (Third update)
Ye Wenhan’s face evidently looked unpleased.
He had never thought that Song Zhizhi would dare to question him at this point?!
So he hadn’t thought about how to handle this matter at all!
For a moment, the meeting room was somewhat stiff.
No one dared to interrupt.
Seeing things weren’t going well, Qian Guanshu, who is quick-witted, promptly said, “Mr Ye has been busy taking over the tasks left by his father. Now finally having time to manage Commercial Management, the first thing he is zealous about is the project in Jinghe Village. On one hand, the project was personally charged by Mr Ye and he wanted first-hand control but couldn’t do so because of certain reasons, which always stung him. On the other hand, his father passed away unexpectedly on this project and Ye wants to properly handle it for his father’s sake. The third point, Jinghe Village’s current condition is appalling, those here including Manager Song and Manager Chu, should understand. Ye doesn’t wish for the villagers to continue their isolation and therefore wants this project to be realized early and bring better days for the people of Jinghe Village.”
Song Zhizhi in response to Qian Guanshu’s long introduction.
Listening to his following point, “In conclusion, Mr Ye’s eagerness to know the latest progress of the project is because of his serious attention to it. Given Mr Ye’s hectic daily schedule, does Manager Song really think Mr Ye has time to solve your problems?”
Song Zhizhi smiled faintly.
Such a reasonable excuse.
She said, “Secretary Qian is correct. As the project leader, I shouldn’t expect Mr Ye to solve my problems. I was merely seeking help as I hit a bottleneck; if I offended Mr Ye, I hope he can forgive me.”
It sounded quite sincere.
Ye Wenhan snorted.
Without thinking, he knew Song Zhizhi was deliberately embarrassing him.
Just as he was about to speak.
Chu Qin suddenly stood up; she said, “I was also involved in this project, and I have suffered a great deal from it. Now that I’ve barely escaped death, I fully understand the dire circumstances of the people in the village, and I really want to solve the problems of the residents in Jinghe Village. Therefore, I willingly take responsibility for the project in Jinghe Village, as a closure for my ordeal.”
Song Zhizhi turned to look at Chu Qin.
Ye Wenhan pulled at the corner of his mouth into a smile, saying, “Manager Chu suffered a lot. If it weren’t for some people’s cowardice, so many personnel from Commercial Management wouldn’t have been casualties.”
Everyone naturally knew who Ye Wenhan was insinuating.
Song Zhizhi also chuckled at that moment, “Indeed, I was too terrified at that time to risk my life to save people. I haven’t suffered injuries or died alongside everyone else, and I regret it every time I think about it.”
Ye Wenhan’s face expression was somewhat hard.
Chu Qin also looked unpleasant.
Of course, they both understood the sarcasm in her words.
Song Zhizhi added, “Oh, by the way, Mr Ye, you didn’t seem to get hurt, didn’t you?”
Ye Wenhan’s face turned green.
Upon noticing, Qian Guanshu quickly added, “In that environment, everyone was defenseless. Protecting oneself was the most important.”
“Thanks for Secretary Qian’s encouragement, I’ve been having sleepless nights regretting my escape. Now, hearing Secretary Qian say so, I feel much better.” Song Zhizhi gracefully descended the steps.
Qian Guanshu’s expression subtly turned.
Song Zhizhi’s sharp-tongued nature was even worse than he’d thought.
If it hadn’t been for Ye Wenhan’s crucial period of time, he would have proceeded with his plan long ago.
But it’s not too late.
Ji Baijian, no matter how cunning, was just a scheming man, without power or influence, dealing with him wouldn’t be hard.
He asked, “Manager Song, how do you plan to handle the current situation in Jinghe Village?”
Qian Guanshu brought the discussion back to work.
He knew well that Ye Wenhan was intent on making things difficult for her, but it wouldn’t necessarily turn out to his advantage.
“I personally think that we need to go back to Jinghe Village to investigate the situation closely before making a decision.” Song Zhizhi said as she suddenly turned to Chu Qin, “Manager Chu just volunteered to take over the project in Jinghe Village, right? Perfect, right now I need to discuss about exporting rice wine with the Foreign Affairs Department and simply can’t leave, and you just returned. I guess you can go back to Jinghe Village and personally check the situation.”
At that moment Chu Qin’s face changed instantly, “Song Zhizhi, you just came back from the brink of death and now you want me to go, what’s your intention?”
“Manager Chu, you misunderstood. I also heard Manager Chu’s wish to make a closure for her ordeal. They say fall down seven times, stand up eight, I thought Manager Chu meant to move forward by returning to Jinghe Village again. Who knew you were just making empty talk…”
“Song Zhizhi!” Chu Qin was so angry that she yelled out in front of everyone.
She was really angry.
As if every time she not only couldn’t win against Song Zhizhi but ended up wanting to kill her in a burst of anger.
Seeing Chu Qin’s display, Ye Wenhan’s expression turned sour.
Originally, in order to please Chu Qin, he had seduced her to climb to a higher position. What the hell is Chu Qin now?! If she were competent, he could still use her, but Song Zhizhi had directly put her in this state, and Ye Wenhan was beginning to feel somewhat annoyed.
His face was somewhat stern, “Arguing in front of everyone like this. Do you not have any dignity as a manager?”
Chu Qin looked at Ye Wenhan, appearing wronged.
Ye Wenhan did not return Chu Qin’s gaze and said, “I don’t want to hear any excuses about the project. Song Zhizhi, you are the main person in charge of the project, so you should be fully responsible for all matters of the project! Within one month, I want to see the Jinghe Village project progressing smoothly, otherwise…you can resign on grounds of misconduct!”
Leaving these words behind, Ye Wenhan stood up and walked away.
Qian Guanshu followed behind Ye Wenhan.
Song Zhizhi watched Ye Wenhan’s receding figure and sneered.
Resigned on grounds of misconduct.
Are they starting to find reasons to fire her?!
As expected, after Ye Wenhan took his place, the first target he attacked was her.
She appeared not to care.
Zhan Song briefly mentioned a few things about the project, and the meeting was over.
Song Zhizhi packed up her laptop.
Everyone had already left, but Chu Qin seemed to intentionally wait for her.
Chu Qin said, “Song Zhizhi, did you ever think this day would come?”
Song Zhizhi ignored her.
“Who would have thought there would come a day when you’d have to work under Ye Wenhan? What goes around comes around. I’m quite interested to see how long you can be so arrogant!” Chu Qin said sarcastically.
Song Zhizhi had already packed up her things and walked towards Chu Qin.
The two of them were about the same height, and both had strong auras.
Song Zhizhi said, “Chu Qin, let me kindly remind you: Ye Wenhan is not the type to repay kindness with gratitude. You’d better watch out.”
After saying that, she directly walked past Chu Qin and left.
“What do you mean, Song Zhizhi!” Chu Qin said angrily.
“The meaning is very clear to Manager Chu, but whether to believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
This time, she did not linger and directly left.
Chu Qin’s face turned ugly.
What is she implying?!
She means Wenhan will directly throw me away?!
She doesn’t believe it!
She picked up the phone and dialed his number.
At this moment, Ye Wenhan and Qian Guanshu were sitting in the car.
Both of them looked unhappy.
Looking at the incoming call, Ye Wenhan’s face became even worse.
Watching his expression, Qian Guanshu asked, “Who is it?”
“Chu Qin.”
“What’s your relationship with her?” Qian Guanshu was straightforward.
Ye Wenhan was somewhat reluctant to speak.
“Whatever has happened before, I don’t want to know. But from now on, whatever your relationship with her is, it must be over for me!”
“I know. But now…” Ye Wenhan said, “I can’t just burn bridges immediately. After all, her father Chu Zhaotian is still there. If there is really a fuss, we might not handle it well.”
“Doesn’t she hate Song Zhizhi? Use her to kill Song Zhizhi, then find an excuse to dispose of her!” Qian Guanshu said fiercely, “You absolutely cannot let Chu Qin ruin your promising future! As for your wedding, I’ve already arranged it for you.”
“Huh?” Ye Wenhan looked at Qian Guanshu.
“Rest assured, she is definitely someone who matches your status. A minor Chu Qin, for one she is used goods after being married, and for two she is just the daughter of a head officer, she is still not good enough for you.”
“Who are you referring to, Dad?” Ye Wenhan was very curious.
Qian Guanshu smiled with a sly face, “Your official dad, Ye Taiting, had already arranged a match for you before he died. A meeting between you two will take place sooner or later.”
