Dongfang Liuyun put away her phone. When she looked up, she realized that Dongfang Gan and Qi Lei were both looking at her quietly.

“Why are you looking at me? Aren’t you going to eat?”

Dongfang Liuyun looked at Qi Lei and asked.

“Enjoy yourself. Qi Lei, come with me to the study. I have something to talk to you about.”

Dongfang Gan glanced at his daughter before patting Qi Lei on the shoulder. The husband and son-in-law looked rather harmonious.

Dongfang Liuyun narrowed her eyes at them, but they already turned around and walked upstairs to the study.

...

“Sit down and drink some water. It’s almost time for dinner. Don’t drink the tea.”

Dongfang Gan poured a cup of warm water for Qi lei. His tone was rather amiable.

“Thank you, Father.”

Qi Lei politely took the water from his hand.

“Actually, it’s still about the South River Project.”

Dongfang Gan also spoke directly.

Qi Lei paused for a moment and lowered his head to take a sip of water before replying, “Wang Chun told me about this matter. I’ve also read the information and plan. I’ve looked into some of the data that Liuyun has been processing recently.”

“That’s good. Then you should be very familiar with this project,” said Dongfang Gan.

“Liuyun’s subsequent proposal is pretty good. Later on, Wang Chun will go over to discuss the specifics of the collaboration. Oh right, Dongfang Rou’er came to look for me at my company. I met her.”

“Rou’er? Was it for the South River Project?”

Dongfang Gan’s tone was filled with a hint of certainty.

Qi Lei nodded. “That’s right. It was about the South River Project. In fact, she’s come a few times before. Father should be able to guess her purpose for coming over.”

“She wants you to appoint Dongfang Ren directly, right?” Dongfang Gan said nonchalantly.

There was no change in his expression. “This matter has been tough on you.”

“Father is being too polite. Let’s follow Liuyun’s plan. Dongfang Ren will execute it and Dongfang Yi will supervise. In fact, the quality of this project might be more guaranteed,” said Qi Lei calmly.

“I’m sorry for making a fool out of you.”

“No, Father, I understand. Actually, you handled these matters very well. You’re very wise,” said Qi Lei very humbly.

He did not flatter Dongfang Gan so much. Indeed, a person like Dongfang Gan could sit firmly in his position. He could easily push Dongfang Group to a new height between Dongfang Ren and the others. Qi Lei was very clear about the difficulties involved, was that not what the Tai Yu Corporation had gone through too?

“It’s not wise, it’s something that has been nurtured. Let’s not talk about it. You’re already married to Liuyun, no matter what, you’re still our Dongfang family’s son-in-law. You probably don’t know much about the Dongfang family’s matters, right? Has Liuyun told you about the Dongfang family’s matters?”

Dongfang Gan looked at Qi Lei and asked in a low voice.

Qi Lei nodded. “She told me a little, but she didn’t discuss it in depth. I have a general idea of the situation.” Qi Lei said very sincerely.

“It’s good that she took the initiative to tell you. Liuyun doesn’t like to talk about family matters. Even if it’s Lan Xiu, she might not be willing to talk about family matters with him. Since she took the initiative to mention these matters to you, it means that she truly has set her mind on you.”

“The Dongfang family has quite a long history. In the past, we relied on antiques and jewelry to start their business. Our foundation is similar to the Qi family. In the early years, the Dongfang family was practically a monopoly in this area. Just like the Qi family’s glory at that time. However, in the end, your Qi family had no choice but to whitewash your business because of the circumstance. Our Dongfang family wasn’t affected much.”

“Yes, I heard about the history of the Qi family from my grandfather before. After the family’s businesses were whitewashed, the family’s forces were actually also vigorously reduced.”

“Yes, it was greatly reduced. However, all that is left behind were all elites. Your grandfather wasn’t a fool, he has been in the underworld for so many years. It doesn’t mean that he can truly abandon the life an outlaw just because he’s left it. When there is a potential threat, he must save some strength to survive. Of course, the development of Qi Kai Group has also made everyone look at him in a new light. Your grandfather was a person with good skills and wisdom.”

“Was Father very familiar with my grandfather?”

Qi Lei was a little surprised by Dongfang Gan’s words, so Qi Lei asked the same question.

Dongfang Gan shook his head, “Not really. Our Dongfang family doesn’t actually have much interaction with your Qi family, we’ve only met each other at public occassions. However, the Qi family is in the same scene, we’ve more or less heard of you, and we have to be polite to you too.”

“Those are all things from the past.”

Qi Lei smiled.

“M.m. I’m actually not very familiar with your father, Qi Qiming. I’m also deeply moved by the Qi family’s experience. However, I’m glad that you, Qi Lei, have endured it to this day. This is also the most important reason why I’m sure of you.”

Qi Lei was silent, but his gaze became a little profound.

“Please don’t worry, Father. Leave Liuyun to me. I’ll be responsible for her to the end.”

After that, Qi Lei said this in a deep voice.

Dongfang Gan nodded. He lowered his eyes and said in a sincere tone, “I’m not asking you to show your loyalty. I just hope that Liuyun’s choice is right. She mustered a lot of courage to have gambled her entire life on you, you must not let her lose the bet. That way, her mother and I can be at ease. After the Mid-autumn Festival, I’ll make a trip to Myanmar immediately. This trip will probably take a long time before I return. I’ll get Vice President Zhang to follow up on the South River Project. He’s my man. Take care of things here, especially on Liuyun’s side. Without me here, I’m quite worried that she won’t be able to carry out her work.”

“Father is going to Myanmar?”

Qi Lei frowned and thought for a moment before replying, “It’s not very peaceful over there now. Can’t you postpone it to see how the situation goes first?”

“Can’t postpone it. If it wasn’t for the preparation of another important project of the company, I’m afraid I would have rushed over long ago. Things are a little tricky and can’t be delayed. Don’t worry, if things go smoothly over there, I should be back soon. Right, you might be in time for your grandmother’s birthday. You need to put in some effort. Otherwise, suppress the news first. I can bring you guys back to visit her when I return.”

Dongfang Gan still looked at Qi Lei worriedly, “Liuyun’s grandmother isn’t an ordinary person. Even if I, her biological son, was in front of her, she might not give you any face. Besides, she’s like your mother-in-law, she’s always wanted Fujiwara as Liuyun’s husband. However, your abilities are clear too, she won’t be too harsh on you, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“Father, when are you planning to leave?”

“Ill need a few days to handle the company’s business, might only be able to leave on the 20th or 21st of this month.”
