Qi Qiming looked at Qi Lei, expecting him to say something, so he put his pen down.

“What’s the matter?” Qi Qiming asked quietly and calmly, unlike his attitude before. He seemed to have changed his impression of Qi Lei. At least, he did not find him annoying right away.

Qi Qiming had been thinking about Wang Qin ever since she passed away. Even now, he still unconsciously reached out for the other side of the bed. He would sometimes wake up in shock as he could not sense anyone beside him.

It happened to him numerous times. Qi Qiming started to think that Wang Qin was haunting him due to all his hatred towards her when she was still alive. His assistant offered to get him a safety charm, but he declined.

For some reason, he was not afraid of Wang Qin haunting him. He was actually afraid that she would not do so anymore.

He suddenly looked much older in the span of a few months. Lately, he always appeared tired and exhausted.

He did not have the spirit and motivation to manage his company anymore, hence he wanted Qi Feng to transition and take over soon. He would then complete his mission by letting Qi Feng succeed Qi Kai.

Qi Lei looked at Qi Qiming as he took a deep breath and put a document in front of him. “Did you personally agree to this? Do you want to transfer me externally?” He went straight to the point.

With a frown, Qi Qiming quickly took a glance at the document Qi Lei handed him. His eyes darkened slightly before he looked at Qi Lei. “That’s right. Lingsha suggested for you to go. Your brother didn’t seem to agree, but I want you to be trained in another city for a year or two.”

“You know that I have an important project to follow up with Glory World, and I doubt that City B will need a Vice President to go over and monitor the market over there. There’s no need for me to go! I need a reason for this external transfer!” Qi Lei stared at Qi Qiming with a cold expression.

Qi Qiming calmed himself down and closed the document before him. “I’ve given you the reason. I want you to experience and train yourself. There’s a need for Qi Kai to develop externally. This is a great opportunity for you to display your talents. Lingsha is right. There’s no reason for you to decline. I’m very happy with your performance lately. Moreover, the Gu family will help you out in City B,” he explained as he took a sip from the glass of water on the table before he continued, “You know how I’ve been doing lately. I don’t really have the mental capacity to handle the company anymore, and I’m really pleased about your performance lately. I’m glad that you’ve grown.”

“You don’t need to praise me. I won’t accept this decision. If you think that this is a great opportunity, I can be generous and give it to Qi Feng instead. There’s no need to thank me.” Qi Lei smirked.

Qi Qiming’s expression froze for a moment as he looked into Qi Lei’s eyes and noticed the sarcasm in his eyes.

“Xiao Lei, I hope you can get over this. You’re still being immature. This external transfer gives you nothing but benefits. Your brother needs to stay here in order to learn more about the operations in the company while you’ve been staying in the company all these years, so you should know almost everything already. Isn’t this a challenge for yourself? Don’t youngsters love opportunities to display their abilities? The South River project is already on track now. Your brother and Lingsha will take care of it from now on,” Qi Qiming tried to convince Qi Lei.

“I’ve told you I don’t mind giving this opportunity to Qi Feng instead. You know that I don’t care about that. I won’t be leaving City Z. My mother is right here. If you think that I’m a threat to Qi Feng, then you can remove me. I will bring my mother’s possessions and leave Qi Kai, and we can go our separate ways,” Qi Lei put on a stiff smile as he said coldly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qi Qiming’s expression changed and his gaze seemed complicated.

Just when their relationship was getting slightly better, Qi Qiming did not want their relationship to become like before.

He had given it some thought when Gu Lingsha first suggested it. He thought the brothers would have less conflict if Qi Lei left City Z and if Qi Lei could also maintain a neutral attitude.

Qi Lei’s relationship with Mu Yuchen was odd at the moment, but he definitely hated Qi Feng. He just wanted Qi Lei to avoid conflict.

“Xiao Lei, this is for your own good. Part of Qi Kai belongs to you no matter what, but can you really take everything upon yourself right now if you stay here?” Qi Qiming asked.

“Why not?” Qi Leng asked right back. “I won’t leave City Z. You’d better find someone else if you’re seriously considering someone to explore the market over there. I have my mother’s shares, and I have the power to remain here. If you’re worried that I might be an obstacle to your son, suit yourself! Don’t complain that I didn’t warn you first.”

“Can you just listen to me once? I won’t mistreat my son no matter what!” Qi Qiming felt terrible listening to his words.

“No, your son is Qi Feng! You insist that you did it for my own good. Do you think I’m a fool? Transferring me externally for several years...Will I still have a place here even if I actually got a chance to return? New market development? Even if I actually make an impact there, anyone of you can take the labor of my work for yourself! I’m an honest man. You shouldn’t be scamming me like this!”
