"Can’t I care about my subordinates?" Qiu Ruoxi snorted, "Alright, there’s nothing here for you. Go back to your office and play your dumb games!"

Qiu Ruoxi was kicking Ye Xunhuan out, but not only did Ye Xunhuan not leave, he pulled up a chair and sat down directly in front of Qiu Ruoxi. He even took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself.

"Wife, why do I feel like this isn’t about caring for your subordinates?" Ye Xunhuan stared at Qiu Ruoxi and asked.

"What do you mean?" Qiu Ruoxi’s almond-shaped eyes turned cold, a beam of sharp light shooting out, targeting Ye Xunhuan!

Faced with Qiu Ruoxi’s sharp and chilly gaze, Ye Xunhuan showed no fear at all, meeting her gaze directly, "Wife, are you thinking of using the relationship between Mei Hanqing and Jian Yunong to collaborate with Jian Yunong and expand your Huangtu Group?"

Qiu Ruoxi is a businesswoman.

She had previously mentioned that as long as it’s beneficial and legal, she would do it.

At the same time, Jian Yunong is also a businesswoman.

When it comes to business, Qiu Ruoxi might use the relationship between Mei Hanqing and Jian Yunong to do something.

Though Jian Yunong is in real estate and Qiu Ruoxi predominantly focuses on e-commerce,

it’s undeniable that Qiu Ruoxi is now diversifying her business.

Collaborating with Jian Yunong isn’t impossible.

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi felt as if her inner secret had been uncovered, causing a flurry of panic inside her.

Indeed, she wanted to collaborate with Jian Yunong, using Mei Hanqing as leverage.

Even though her heart was panicking, Qiu Ruoxi maintained a calm exterior, "I don’t need you to worry about what I do!"

"Alright, I won’t care!" Ye Xunhuan said blandly, "But I advise you not to exploit this relationship!"

"You’re a businesswoman, sure, but you’re also a superior. Both of us know Mei Hanqing’s history, this grudge of over twenty years, it’s not something anyone can comprehend!"

"If you use that relationship to collaborate with Jian Yunong, what would Mei Hanqing think in her heart..."

"You seem awfully concerned about Mei Hanqing, don’t you?" Qiu Ruoxi interrupted Ye Xunhuan, staring at him thoughtfully.

Hearing Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan chuckled softly, not showing any tension, and said plainly, "It’s not about concern, it’s a matter of principle!"

"Mei Hanqing is your employee; is it right for you to use her like that?"

Ye Xunhuan didn’t want Qiu Ruoxi to collaborate with Jian Yunong.

Jian Yunong clearly knew he was married to Qiu Ruoxi and also understood his relationship with Mei Hanqing.

Approaching Jian Yunong, with her shrewdness, who knows what she might do!

"I’m a businesswoman..."

"Enough, I won’t say more; do as you wish!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "But I still advise you not to approach her. Jian Yunong is not as simple as you think. If you go to her, you’ll only bring humiliation to yourself!"

With those words, Ye Xunhuan stood up, ready to leave.

Jian Yunong had long expressed her desire for Ye Xunhuan to marry Mei Hanqing, but she never succeeded.

Moreover, Jian Yunong owed Mei Hanqing over twenty years, and Qiu Ruoxi was somewhat of a rival to Mei Hanqing.

If Qiu Ruoxi sought collaboration with Jian Yunong, the outcome was predictable.

Ye Xunhuan spoke his piece; whether Qiu Ruoxi listened was her business.

Watching Ye Xunhuan’s departing back, Qiu Ruoxi snorted lightly, "Humiliate myself? You’re underestimating me. I have ways to make Jian Yunong willingly earn money for me!"

With that, Qiu Ruoxi picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.

Meanwhile, upon seeing the video online, Dongfang Shu smiled alluringly, "Adopting a daughter and you’re all over the headlines, Jian Yunong, you’ve really done it!"

"Now everyone knows Mei Hanqing is your eldest daughter."

Meng Qi, standing beside Dongfang Shu, couldn’t help but speak, "Miss, it seems Mei Hanqing hasn’t acknowledged her..."

"Nonsense, over twenty years of resentment isn’t something so easily dissolved!" Dongfang Shu scoffed, "You know what a life Mei Hanqing lived before!"

"You’re aware of the rumors outside, and now she’s with Ye Xunhuan, do you think the Su family stands a chance, or what can Jian Yunong possibly do?"

"Whatever Jian Yunong can offer, Ye Xunhuan can provide just the same!"

Dongfang Shu sighed mildly, "She showed up a bit too late."

"Do you mean Mei Hanqing won’t acknowledge Jian Yunong?"

"Hard to say!"

"Impossible, isn’t it? Jian Yunong is the queen of real estate, and she’s the Su family’s daughter-in-law. If Mei Hanqing acknowledges her, she could ascend to great heights effortlessly!"

"Do you think Mei Hanqing is like you?" Dongfang Shu sighed helplessly, "Even when I offered her such favorable conditions back then, she didn’t come!"

"Now, as Mei Hanqing’s life gets better and better, do you think she still cares about these things?"

"She’s no gold-digger. Don’t view her with gold-digger lenses!"

With that, Meng Qi fell silent.

"Let’s go see my old friend and check if Su Bingzhi has arrived."

"Yes, ma’am!"

...

Inside Huangtu Group, Mei Hanqing sat in her office, staring blankly at the video circulating online.

Many envied Mei Hanqing, but who could understand the pain in her heart?

Just as Mei Hanqing was lost in thought, her phone rang.

The melodic ringtone slowly pulled Mei Hanqing back to reality.

Immediately, Mei Hanqing picked up the phone and answered without looking.

"Hello..."

"Han Qing, are you alright?"

A concerned, elderly voice flowed into Mei Hanqing’s ear.

Hearing this voice, Mei Hanqing took a deep breath, steadying herself, "Old Dean, you saw the video online, didn’t you?"

"Mr. Ye called me last night and told me. I wanted to call you yesterday, but I didn’t know what to say..."

"I’m fine, Old Dean!"

"Han Qing, I know you resent her, but she’s still your mother. You came from her..."

"Old Dean, I have something to do. I’ll call you after work, okay?"

With those words, Mei Hanqing quickly hung up the phone.

On the other end, in the orphanage, the Old Dean listened to the busy tone, his face clouded with bitterness!

This knot is hard to untie!

Meanwhile, Su Bingzhi had already traveled from Suzhou-Hangzhou to Jiangzhong City, heading directly to Huangtu Group!
