A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 158 Everything Has Changed

When she turned her back to Ye Fan, two trails of tears were streaming quietly down her cheeks. But

nobody could see her crying.

Perhaps Ye Fan did see. But Xu Lei did not seem to want to talk about it, so he did not ask any more

questions.

After all, everyone had their own lives. They all had their own share of joys and sorrows to go through.

Moreover, he and Xu Lei were just casual acquaintances, so he felt that he had no right to interfere in

her life.

The only thing he could do was to remember her effort toward helping him and his wife. In the future,

he would repay the favor if an opportunity presented itself.

Soon after Xu Lei's departure, Ye Fan also left Yunwu Lake.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian had already returned to Yunzhou. And being the workaholic

that she was, Qiu Mu-Cheng did not choose to go home upon her return. Instead, she told Su Qian to

send her to her office without delay.

"Cheng-Cheng, I have to hand it to you."

"I think your grandfather should really give you a Model Worker Medal."

"You are going to work even though you have just returned. Can't you rest at home for a day before

returning to your office?"

Su Qian was almost rendered speechless; more and more she admired her BFF's work ethics.

Anyway, she knew that she would not be able to do the same. Su Qian could eat and play around well

enough, but she could not do work that taxed the mind and body.

In her mind, life was too short to spend on work. She would rather use the time to eat and play around.

Su Qian shook her head with a sigh.

Afterward, she stopped trying to persuade Qiu Mu-Cheng and simply drove away after dropping off the

latter at her office.

This Mount Tai trip had made her forget the harmonica player. Now she had a new target.

"Brother, that was all your fault. You gave me two lousy tickets. Our seats were at the very last row.

That was why I couldn't see what my idol looked like."

"I don't care. You have to find Mr. Chu for me. And introduce him to me."

"I will only marry Mr. Chu and no one else.”

"I don't care, I don't care~"

In the car, Su Qian was on the phone with her brother and acting like a spoiled child.

But it was probably beyond her imagination to think that both Mr. Chu and the harmonica player were

the same person all along.

Sometimes, the world is a small place.

You can part company with someone and then, a moment later, he may appear before you at another

place and with another identity. Just like how it happened with Su Qian and the idol she was crushing

on.

But who knew just what sort of expression Su Qian would have, if she were to find out the true identity

of the idol she was crushing on.

Of course, that was a story to be told later.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Cheng had already gone up to her office. But once there, she found that some

things had changed. For example, somebody had removed the two pots of asparagus fern that had

used to stand at the entrance of the office. She had asked her assistant, Li Fei-Fei, to buy them for her.

Now, standing in their place, were two pots of towering cinnamon trees.

Even the red doormat with the Chinese characters for "Blooming Fortune” had been replaced. She had Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

bought it and placed it at the entrance herself. All traces of her that had existed before the Mount Tai

trip had been erased. For a moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng thought that she had gone to the wrong office.

She even went outside to look at the door plate.

No, she was at the right address. 298 Tongan Road, Qiushui Logistics.

And so, with a heart heavy with confusion, Qiu Mu-Cheng walked into the office. But along the way, the

colleagues who had hitherto greeted her with respect and smiles were all shocked to see her. All of

them bowed their heads to avoid looking at her and then hurried away to somewhere far away.

It was as if they were avoiding the plague.

Qiu Mu-Cheng took note of their abnormal behavior and grew even more confused. A deep frown

appeared on her face.

"Ah?"

"Miss Qiu, you...you are back?"

Just then, a clerk in an OL outfit happened to pass by. She was also shocked to see Qiu Mu-Cheng

and immediately questioned the latter. This clerk was Qiu

Mu-Cheng's former assistant, Li Fei-Fei.

In Qiushui Logisitcs, Qiu Mu-Cheng trusted three persons the most.

Li Fei-Fei was one of them. The other two were employees who had been promoted to their current

positions by Qiu Mu-Cheng. One was called Du Juan and the other was called Zhang Heng.

The trio had always been working under Qiu Mu-Cheng.

In the past, Qiu Mu-Cheng had been a group leader in the sales department. And everyone knew, the

sales department was the most taxing department to work in. At that time, Qiu Mu-Ying had bullied her

cousin by giving the latter sales targets that were several times higher than those of the other groups.

Also, during those times when Qiu Mu-Cheng's group had failed to reach their target, their salaries

would get cut.

During all those years, if the trio had not been working hard alongside her, Qiu Mu-Cheng would not

have been able to make it through her cousin's bullying and get to her current position.

Now that Qiu Mu-Cheng had been promoted by Master Qiu and put fully in charge of the partnership

with Hongqi Group, she had a lot more power than before. So she had transferred the trio to work

under her before going on the trip to Mount Tai.

Since her trusted subordinate was right in front of her, Qiu Mu-Cheng naturally approached her to find

out what had happened at the office.

"What happened to the two pots of asparagus fern I bought?"

"And where are Du Juan and Zhang Heng?" she asked with a frown.

"Well..." Li Fei-Fei had an agonized look on her face and she seemed hesitant to speak to her superior.

At this moment, someone behind her shouted at Li Fei-Fei to hurry up.

"Li Fei-Fei, what are you standing around for? The general manager wants the documents right now.

Do you want to go scrub the toilets like Du Juan?"

When Li Fei-Fei heard this, she hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Yes, ma'am, I will go right now. The

documents will get there right away."

When she spoke, her tone was servile and filled with panic.

Afterward, Li Fei-Fei ignored Qiu Mu-Cheng and turned around to leave.

"Fei-Fei, what is going on here?”

"Where is Du Juan?"

"Also, what was that about scrubbing toilet?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng frowned and shouted at Li Fei-Fei to stop.

The petite figure halted in her steps. Li Fei-Fei kept her head bowed as she stood with her back toward

Qiu Mu-Cheng. Her eyes reddened slightly as her low voice slowly rang out.

"Miss Qiu, stop asking. Please do not ask me again."

"The company has changed. Everything has changed."

"You should not have left-"

"Also, Miss Qiu, this will be the last time I am calling you Miss Qiu. From now onward, I am no longer

your personal assistant. I am already working for Qiu Mu-Ying as her personal assistant."

"Let us pretend not to know each other from now on."

Li Fei-Fei bowed her head and bit down hard on her lips.

She had already made up her mind the moment she had spoken these words.

In the end, she ignored Qiu Mu-Cheng and left the scene without turning back.

"Fei-Fei, what is going on?”

"Stop right there! I am ordering you to stop right now! Explain things clearly to me~"

Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to shout and there was a hint of anger in her cold voice.

But Li Fei-Fei turned a deaf ear to the shouting and, soon, she was out of sight.

"Heh~"

"Qiu Mu-Cheng, you really do know how to put on airs."

"You were giving out orders?"

"Do you think this Qiushui Logistics is still the same Qiushui Logistics as before? It has changed since

you went away!"

"Do you still think you are the project manager?"

"You are just an outcast now! So how dare you throw your weight around here?" "Qiu Mu-Cheng, let

me tell you the truth.

Qiushui Logistics has changed hands!"

"The person in charge of the project department now is my cousin, Qiu Mu-Ying."

"As for you, you are nothing!"

Wang Xiu-E crossed her arms and sneered. When she looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng, her eyes were filled

with disdain and mockery.

She was Qiu Mu-Ying's maternal cousin. After she had dropped out of school, she had been

freeloading at the company alongside her cousin. And the two girls had conspired together and

committed plenty of unsavory deeds at Qiushui Logistics. But because Qiu Mu-Ying was Master Qiu's

favorite granddaughter, she never had to pay for any of her misdeeds.
