CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 38 VISITING TO APOLOGIZE

Shangdong Group.

Nie Xiaoying arrived early at the company to open the doors as usual.

Soon, she saw Wei Xueqing walking over and quickly stood ready to greet her.

However, she quickly noticed Yang Chen following closely behind Wei Xueqing, straight-bodied and focused. His appearance had changed dramatically from yesterday; dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, formal but not rigid, meticulous yet not stern, he looked astonishingly handsome, truly a classic tall, rich, and handsome type!

But she couldn’t understand why Wei Xueqing would be coming to work with Yang Chen? Especially so early?

Could they have bumped into each other on the way?

"Good morning, President Wei!" Nie Xiaoying respectfully greeted Wei Xueqing and then nodded to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen responded politely and continued to follow Wei Xueqing to the office.

Wei Xueqing went to her desk, and Yang Chen returned to the cubicle to start his computer.

...

Early in the morning, Wei Qingzhong received a call from Zhang Qishan.

As soon as Zhang Qishan spoke, he asked if Xueqing and Yang Chen were at the company.

Wei Qingzhong checked the time and said, "At this time, they should be there."

"Great! I’m heading over right now!" Zhang Qishan said and immediately hung up.

Wei Qingzhong felt it was incredible, wondering what was with Zhang Qishan now? Even apologizing was so proactive?

And this was an issue among the children, did he need to be so attentive? Even going personally?

The more Wei Qingzhong thought about it, the more he felt something was off. He immediately instructed the driver, "Bring the car around, we’re going to the company now!"

"Yes!"

...

The Zhang family estate.

Zhang Shaoting followed behind Zhang Qishan reluctantly, looking at the Bentley Mulsanne parked at the entrance, he couldn’t help but say, "Dad, do I really have to go?"

Zhang Qishan stopped, turned around, and stared at Zhang Shaoting, saying, "I explained to you clearly last night: First, you were wrong to lay a hand on Wei Xueqing! Don’t underestimate Wei Qingzhong’s protective nature towards her! Second, you cannot afford to provoke Yang Chen! Third, your grandfather’s life is in the hands of this person! Now, get in the car immediately!"

Zhang Shaoting listened to the three reasons, unable to argue, reluctantly got into the car.

...

Qiming Mansion.

Nie Xiaoying walked to the President’s office, took a look inside, discovered Yang Chen sitting there, and couldn’t help but ask Zhou Lan, "Lanlan, what kind of work does Yang Chen do?"

Zhou Lan looked up and laughed, "He’s the President’s assistant, why? Do you need him for something?"

"I don’t need him, but two people said they’re from the Zhang Group, the chairman and his son, wanting to see our President Wei and Yang Chen." Nie Xiaoying said.

"The chairman and his son from the Zhang Group?" Zhou Lan’s eyes lit up, excitedly staring at Nie Xiaoqian and asking, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, that’s what they said." Nie Xiaoying replied, "It’s just they don’t have an appointment, so I can’t be sure, therefore I came in to ask, since they said they’re from the Zhang Group, I can’t be careless."

After the previous incident with Yang Chen, Nie Xiaoying became much more cautious, no longer judging people solely by their appearance.

Zhou Lan quickly stood up, "Wait a moment, I’ll go notify President Wei!"

Nie Xiaoying nodded and waited at the door.

Zhou Lan approached the door of the President’s office and knocked.

"Come in!" Wei Xueqing said.

Yang Chen glanced at the door, seeing it was Zhou Lan, and continued browsing the web.

Zhou Lan came in, stood in front of Wei Xueqing’s desk, and said softly, "President Wei, there are two people outside who want to see you, claiming to be the chairman from the Zhang Group."

"Did they make an appointment?" Wei Xueqing continued to deal with documents without looking up.

"No." Zhou Lan’s expression was strange.

"Then don’t meet them!" Wei Xueqing was very busy, having no time for non-appointment visitors; after all, she’s the CEO of a company, not just anyone can see her.

"But..." Zhou Lan hesitated, "President Wei, they are from the Zhang Group, and it’s the chairman himself..."

"I said not to meet them!" Wei Xueqing angrily looked up, ready to scold, suddenly realizing, her eyes widened asking, "What did you say? Who’s here?"

"The chairman and his son from the Zhang Group!" Zhou Lan said.

This time, Wei Xueqing heard clearly and understood, frowning immediately.

"What do they want? To interrogate me?" Wei Xueqing murmured internally.

"How many came with them?" Because of yesterday’s incident, Wei Xueqing became vigilant.

"Just the two of them, explicitly requesting to see you and Assistant Yang."

"They want to see Yang Chen too?" Wei Xueqing’s brow furrowed, she called out to Yang Chen behind the partition, "Yang Chen, come out for a second!"

Yang Chen heard Wei Xueqing calling, immediately stepped out, casually asked, "What’s up?"

"The Zhang Group’s gentlemen want to see you, you should go hide for a while." Wei Xueqing said.

Yang Chen frowned slightly, "Why should I hide?"

"I’m afraid they might cause trouble for you; better to avoid issues." Wei Xueqing said.

Yang Chen shook his head, "I walk straight and sit upright, not afraid of trouble from anyone. Besides, my duty is to protect you, I can’t leave you alone!"

"You!" Wei Xueqing felt like she was talking to a block of wood.

Just then, they heard Wei Qingzhong’s hearty laughter outside, "Old Zhang, let the kids handle their matters, what are you coming for!"

Zhang Qishan inwardly cursed Wei Qingzhong as an old fox, unable to hide any subtle thoughts from Wei Qingzhong’s keen sense, actually arriving with them.

"Failure to teach the child is the father’s fault; I bear some responsibility for this, so it’s necessary to come!" Zhang Qishan said.

As he spoke, they arrived at Wei Xueqing’s office.

Seeing Wei Qingzhong with Zhang Qishan, Wei Xueqing was surprised, "Dad! Why are you..."

Seeing Zhang Qishan, Yang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting to meet him here.

"Oh! I saw them while coming in and brought them over since they wanted to see you." Wei Qingzhong laughed.

Wei Xueqing glared at Wei Qingzhong, annoyed, saying to the two, "If you two came to apologize, I hope to see your sincerity. But if you’re here to find trouble, know that I, Wei Xueqing, have never feared anyone. However, everything speaks for itself, right and wrong are clear in everyone’s heart!"

Zhang Qishan’s mouth twitched, thinking this sharp-tongued girl already retorted before he could speak, showing no regard for seniority.

He nudged Zhang Shaoting, saying to Wei Xueqing and Yang Chen, "I’m bringing this kid to apologize, yesterday’s incident was indeed his fault; I’ve asked him to apologize to you!"

Zhang Shaoting looked at Wei Xueqing with burning eyes, softly said, "Sister Xueqing, yesterday was my fault. I was too impulsive and shouldn’t have treated you that way."

"Just impulsive?" Wei Xueqing sneered, "I think you had malicious intent and harbored harmful thoughts towards me?"

"No! I absolutely had no other intentions!" Zhang Shaoting anxiously wanted to step forward to explain to Wei Xueqing.

Yang Chen stood firmly in front of Wei Xueqing, staring at Zhang Shaoting, said, "If you dare take another step forward, I’ll consider it as attempting to attack the person I’m protecting!"
