Chapter 1644 - From Behind (2)

The afternoon sun was scorching, and the wind in the air was hot.

Qi Lei had just walked out of the company when he was greeted by waves of heat. Yang Sheng walked behind him and actively held an umbrella for him. However, Qi Lei raised his hand to stop him and walked outside under the sun.

“Master Qi, the sun is too hot!” Yang Sheng chased after him as he said.

The bodyguards had already driven the car over. Qi Lei quickly opened the car door and sat in. Yang Sheng sat in the front passenger seat.

“Master Qi!”

Gasping for breath, Yang Sheng turned to look at Qi Lei. “Master Qi, what did Master Mu Say?”

“Book the plane tickets immediately and fly to City tomorrow afternoon.”

Qi Lei, who was sitting in the back seat, had already turned on his laptop and started to look at the meeting minutes.

“What? Are we going there tomorrow afternoon?”

Yang Sheng was naturally a little surprised as he looked at Qi Lei in a daze.

“There are a few potential problems at the film studio that need to be discussed. President Li has also requested that I go there personally to talk about it. This trip is definitely going to be done. As for the company’s matters... as usual, let the few Vice Presidents be in charge,” Qi Lei replied.

“What are we going to do now?” Yang Sheng asked curiously.

“Go to Glory World Corporation to get the information. Mu Yuchen will get Zhang Lan to bring it over. Let’s go.”

As Qi Lei said this, the car drove out smoothly.

“Master Qi, how long will this trip take? From Master Mu’s tone, it doesn’t seem to be that simple over there.”

“It’s rainy season over there right now, the typhoon has also arrived too, so the film and television base has naturally been affected. The losses are not small, and the hidden problems have been exposed. We need to solve the root of the problem, so we have to go and take a look personally. We might have to leave for a month.”

This sudden news made even Qi Lei find it difficult to adapt to. Compared to his usual straightforwardness, at this moment, he was a little worried about Dongfang Liuyun—

The two of them had only been together for a short while, but he had to leave for such a long time. To think about it, it was not something he was comfortable with.

“So long!”

Even Yang Sheng was a little surprised.

Things over there were quite troublesome. Previously, he had rushed over many times to deal with them. He had finally managed to catch his breath recently, unexpectedly the problems started to come again.

“Vice President Yue just went over. Can’t we just hand the matters over to him directly?”

Yang Sheng had been by Qi Lei’s side for many years. At this moment, Qi Lei was frowning and thinking about something. Yang Sheng was more or less certain.

Hearing Yang Sheng’s question, Qi Lei’s frown deepened. Yang Sheng naturally did not dare to continue. He could only silently look away.

...

When Qi Lei’s unique ringtone rang on her phone, Dongfang Liuyun was in her office. However, at that moment, an uninvited guest had arrived in the office—

Jin Sheng!

“Why are you here? I don’t remember any project of mine having anything to do with your Jin family. If you’re not here about work, please leave.”

Dongfang Liuyun frowned and glanced at Jin Sheng as she picked up the phone—

“Hello? What’s up?”

Her tone softened a little, and her furrowed brows relaxed a little.

“When do you get off work? I’ll pick you up. Let’s go home earlier tonight, I’ll cook.”

Qi Lei’s deep voice was heard along with the sound of the waves as the wind blew past.

“Haven’t you been in charge of the kitchen lately? Are you at the beach?”

Dongfang Liuyun was sharp in her senses.

“I’m at the beach of a small village in the suburbs. I heard that the seafood here is pretty good. Didn’t you say that you were quite fond of having a seafood feast? Since your stomach is better, I can satisfy your wish a little. Moreover, the chinese mitten crabs in this season are pretty good.”

Qi Lei’s voice from the other end sounded quite happy and in a good mood.

Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment then said, “Send me your specific location. I’ll go over after work. You don’t have to pick me up. It’s quite nice to see the sea at this time.”

“Okay, I’ll send you the address. You can get off work earlier and watch the sunset by the sea. It should be close to that picture of the sunset at home.”

“Okay,” she replied with a simple word and hung up.

Jin Sheng, who was standing in front of her desk, also frowned and stared at Dongfang Liuyun’s face. “Was that a call from Lan Xiu?”

He had always known about Dongfang Liuyun’s relationship with Lan Xiu, so Jin Sheng asked that question.

“You can leave now.”

Dongfang Liuyun coldly gave the order to leave. She slowly stood up, turned around, and walked to the bookshelf behind her. She took a document and began to read it carefully.

Jin Sheng’s expression became gloomy and uncertain. He thought for a moment and said, “I heard from Rou’er that you accepted the August event.”

“Didn’t you already know? Didn’t Dongfang Rou’er tell you that she was very successful in using this to make things difficult for me?”

Dongfang Liuyun glanced at Jin Sheng meaningfully, but her expression remained calm.

“You need to prove yourself, so she gave you a chance. Shouldn’t you be grateful to her? Why are you making things difficult for her? I heard that you even asked her to personally hand over the work to your Marketing Department. You’re quite a tough one.”

Jin Sheng’s lips curled into a cold smile as he stared at Dongfang Liuyun without blinking.

“I’ve been plotted against all year round, so I have to be on my guard. If you really want to stand up for Dongfang Rou’er, then I’ll do as you wish and pass this matter on to her. Now, can you leave?”

“Do you really think that I wanted to come here? Dongfang Liuyun, I don’t like your cold attitude the most. You’re just like Fujiwara, both thinking that you’re all superior!”

Towards the end, Jin Sheng could not help but raise his voice. He looked at Dongfang Liuyun with an unusually gloomy gaze. However, he took a document and tossed it directly on the table in front of Dongfang Liuyun with great force, it caused the teacup beside Dongfang Liuyun to shake violently.

With a ‘whoosh’ sound, the teacup fell. More than half the cup was spilled, soaking half of the table. Even the documents on the table were damaged.

Dongfang Liuyun looked at the pile of documents in front of her that were soaked, and quickly grabbed them with one hand, her gaze instantly turned sharp. She suddenly turned to look at Jin Sheng and her tone was as cold as steel—

“Why are you venting your anger on me when you’re not at peace with yourself? You are the perfect match for Dongfang Rou’er! You’re both people who want to trample on others to elevate themselves, but the heavens have not given you a proper position. Superior? You, Jin Sheng, stood here today and arrogantly questioned me. That word is more suitable for you, don’t you think?”
