69 Placing Righteousness Above Family Loyalty

When An Qi and Shi Zhiwen were walking in the conference room, Leng Jin's finger slid over Leng Yuchen's desk. Standing opposite him was Gu Xiaonan was standing opposite him, and the two had gotten off to a bad start.

"Yuchen, this is Human Resources Department's manager, Manager Gu. Although she is young, she has a lot of qualifications. She is also the stepdaughter of one of our partners. Hence, her future is limitless." Leng Jin's deep and sexy voice exploded in Leng Yuchen's office, and Gu Xiaonan was so intoxicated by it that she felt almost drunk.

But, it was not so pleasant to Leng Yuchen's ears. Specifically the words "Yuchen"... "Our"... "Stepdaughter"... Were all sharp and unpleasant words.

Leng Yuchen fumbled as he took a cigarette out in frustration and lit it up before stuffing it in his mouth, not caring at all about Gu Xiaonan, who was still standing in front of him.

"Don't refer to me that intimately. If you like, you can call me by my full name or "Boss Leng.'" Leng Yuchen puffed out a cigarette ring as his eyes fell on Gu Xiaonan.

He then said, "The HR department has some unexpected hidden talents indeed. Why hadn't I realized it before handing such talent over? If I had known that there was a person like Manager Gu, I would not have done so easily!"

His sounded like a polite remark, but the meaning behind it seemed different when it came from Leng Yuchen's mouth. Gu Xiaonan felt like she had hit the jackpot. She had just submitted her picture previously, and Leng Jin had brought her to the president's office immediately thereafter.

Before entering the door, she'd heard Boss Leng lose his temper in the room. He seemed to be yelling about An Qi and Leng Jin's private relationship.

It seemed that the president was really afraid of the big master. Otherwise, he shouldn't have minded the staff of a small partner.

Gu Xiaonan began laughed inwardly as she thought of the situation… Haha! I'll place the responsibility of the photos on An Qi's head later on, thus ensuring that she would not be able to lift her head to meet the big master Leng's gaze. It's a genius plan, killing two birds with one stone!

Gu Xiaonan raised her head shyly, deliberately licked her signature plump lips, and warmly extended her hand to grasp Leng Yuchen's hand, while thanking him for his flattering words.

However, although Leng Yuchen's words made it appear that he was very appreciative of her, the coldness that emanated from his entire body was like an immense iceberg, thwarting people from getting anywhere near it.

Before the self-indulgent Gu Xiaonan could go any closer to him, he'd grabbed his assistant Sheng Jie and placed him in front of him, blocking Gu Xiaonan.

He then asked in an unfriendly tone, "I asked you to settle Hairui's business before, so how's it going? If they can't deliver sufficient goods, then tell them to scram!"

It was obvious that Boss Leng had brought his fury down upon Hairui because of the photos. Leng Jin, who was in the dark about the whole matter, could not stand his brother being so rude to a lady, so he rushed up to help her out.

"Boss Leng, Hairui is connected to Manager Gu's family. Hence, it seems improper for you to say that you want to cancel the contract in front of her," Leng Jin said.

Leng Yuchen pretended that he'd just realized this and asked, "Oh, I was certainly not thinking about that, but if you look at the data yourself, you can certainly understand my anger, right Manager Gu?"

With a hook of Leng Yuchen's finger, Sheng Jie immediately presented the tablet computer to Gu Xiaonan. After Gu Xiaonan studied the data on the tablet, she realized that all of the problems had come from An Qi's department.

As for the specific reason for the problems, she immediately thought of the man that was with her. But, as this was obviously a good opportunity to frame An Qi, she couldn't possibly pass it up!

Gu Xiaonan forced herself to repress the ecstasy that was rising in her heart, while she pretended to be embarrassed."Boss Leng, although Hairui is indeed my stepfather's company, I agree with you. We must be responsible for such a big mistake, but as far as I know, Hairui's monthly shipment is absolutely sufficient. So... The only department that could have made a mistake is..."

"The receiving office." Leng Yuchen finished her sentence, and as he did so, Gu Xiaonan's heart felt like it would explode as she thought… An Qi, you're so dead this time!

After Leng Yuchen finished speaking, he took several puffs of his cigarette, then blew the smoke onto Gu Xiaonan's face, without any apologies. Then, he turned to Leng Jin with an uncertain smile and said, "Look at how loyal the manager is, placing righteousness before family loyalty. She is clearly not biased at all. Big brother, you've just come back and already, you have such useful subordinates under you. You must put them in important positions!"

"Of course… That goes without saying! " Those few words were all that Leng Jin could squeeze through his clenched teeth.

He did not know why he'd brought Gu Xiaonan up. He might've been influenced by Wu Linzhi's short message just now.

They had originally been following Dong Manman's car last night, but at a sharp turn, after Dong Manman's car had passed them, their car had been surrounded by several bulldozers that had rushed in from out of nowhere. The drivers of those bulldozers got out and complained about them. By the time they had finished dealing with them and everyone had departed, Dong Manman's car had already vanished.

However, the acting skills of the drivers were really poor, especially in front of Wu Linzhi, who was actually a professional actor and model. Hence, he saw right through them and knew that they were impostors.

So, they immediately thought of the idea that, besides them, there were other people who had ideas about An Qi. Moreover, the only person who could block traffic in this city was his good brother, Leng Yuchen!

So, early this morning, Wu Linzhi sent a message to Leng Jin, saying that if he did not find out the relationship between An Qi and Leng Yuchen as soon as possible, he would deal with the relationship between him and An Qi in his own way. If he did that, it would likely affect Leng Jin's entire plan!

However, when he came up with Gu Xiaonan in a tentative manner, the situation that he'd expected had not occurred. And, Leng Yuchen seemed to be very angry with An Qi's department because of something.

Such a strange situation caused Leng Jin to be somewhat confused. However, he quickly came back to his senses, and he figured that since Leng Yuchen wants to push An Qi out, he might as well assist in it!

He then thought… When Leng Yuchen realizes An Qi's true identity, he would be filled with regret!

A moment later, Leng Jin regained his composure and snapped his fingers at Gu Xiaonan, who was slightly stunned by the smoke. "Come on, let's not disturb Boss Leng's scolding of other people. I'll see you later in the conference room on the 43rd floor."

Leng Yuchen put one hand in his trousers pocket and ignored Leng Jin. He simply let him bring Gu Xiaonan into and out of his office at will. As the pair left, they closed the office door behind them.

Leng Yuchen's previously tense face immediately relaxed as he found the string of numbers on his cell phone that he had already memorized by heart. Immediately, in the innermost office on the fourth floor, An Yufei's soft voice was heard on the voice message, but unfortunately, no one answered the phone. It turned out that An Qi, who had so many worries on her mind, had forgotten to take her cell phone with her when she'd left earlier that day.

"Boss Leng, the 43rd floor is ready. An Qi and Shi Zhiwen are also seated!" Meanwhile, Sheng Jie had observed everything through the surveillance cameras.

Leng Yuchen raised his eyebrows instantly. As he looked at the photos of An Qi and Leng Jin in Strolling Through Tokyo that were on the desk, he cursed in his heart…
