"I'm having dinner right now," Qin Chu replied gently . He told a white lie so that she wouldn't worry about him .
He didn't want to tell her how critical the situation in T City was .
"What are you eating?"
"Local specialties," Qin Chu replied calmly .
"Mhm, eat up, I don't want you to be hungry . "
"I will… Honey, you're home from Dr . Jiang's?"
"Yeah, Lingling asked me if I wanted to go get a drink, but I haven't been feeling well recently and didn't want to go anywhere, so I came home . "
"Mhm, you should go to bed soon…"
"Honey…" Huo Mian called out coyishly .
"Yeah?"
"Should I just… resign and go help you out at GK? I don't want you to tire yourself out… It's just a big corporation but there's no one you can trust . Having to do everything yourself is really exhausting . " Huo Mian felt bad for her husband, so she had been thinking about this all night…
To her, being a doctor wasn't the most important thing in the world; she would much rather share Qin Chu's work pressure… she wanted to face everything with him .
"Isn't being a doctor your dream?" Qin Chu asked with a smile .
"Yes, but nothing seems important compared to you…"
Qin Chu fell silent for a few seconds before asking, "Mrs . Qin, are you confessing your feelings?"
"No, I just want to help you," Huo Mian replied, word for word .
"I'm glad to hear you say that, but I want you to work in a profession you like… I can handle the business world, you know I'm not one to falter so easily . "
"I know, but . . . "
"Honey… I'm still having dinner, and I have to head back . You should go to bed first . "
"Okay then… don't stay up too late . "
Huo Mian unwillingly hung up the phone; she didn't think Qin Chu would reject her proposal so quickly .
She knew how much Qin Chu loved her, and that was why he didn't want her to work at GK .
Working at the hospital was tiring, but it was a job she enjoyed . Being an iron-lady and a female CEO wasn't what she wanted . Moreover, she didn't see the point in making money nonstop .
After hanging up the phone, Qin Chu turned around and went back into the conference room . "I'm sorry, everyone, let's continue . "
"President Qin… we talked about it and think you have to at least pay the victim's family five million yuan to stop them from taking this accident to the media . We're all going to be in trouble once news breaks out . "
"Money's not the problem… the problem is that I have a feeling that this matter won't be solved, even if we give them the money," Qin Chu replied faintly .
He and the officials talked about the matter for almost two hours, but the results weren't optimistic . Qin Chu didn't like dealing with government officials, because most of the time they just pushed the responsibility around, blaming each other and only focusing on money .
However, since their company was in this city, interacting with local officials was inevitable .
Yang knew Qin Chu was in a bad mood so, on their way back to the hotel, he barely talked .
- Presidential Suite, Marriot Hotels and Resort in T City -
Qin Chu walked into his room; before he could take off his jacket, his phone rang . He picked it up to see a number he didn't recognize .
"Hello?"
"President Qin, this is Jiang Linyue . "
"You finally called . " Qin Chu let out a sigh of relief .
"You knew?" Jiang Linyue was surprised; she thought Qin Chu would look for her like crazy .
"Tell me, what do you want?" Qin Chu cut to the chase; he knew Jiang Linyue chose to hide away at a time like this, just so she could negotiate with him .
"President Qin… I want to be with you, you don't have to give me status… I just want to be with you…" Jiang Linyue said nervously .
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then I don't care anymore . I have documents that will directly affect our company's reputation . If I reveal it to the rest of the world… you'll regret it," Jiang Linyue sounded sure of herself .
