Li Xirui looked at Qin Muchengâs back and frowned.
âDidnât Qin Mucheng promise to have dinner with you tomorrow? How did heâ¦â The chubby girl retracted her gaze and asked curiously.
Li Xirui, who was sitting next to Qin Mucheng, pursed his lips and shook her head in grievance.
in the underground garage, Qin Cheng got into the car and turned on the engine before saying to Ji Yuanyuan, âOur department should have a dinner party tomorrow night. This should be my last dinner party in the Marketing Department. It wonât be good if I donât go.â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded her head indifferently, âI have a class tomorrow night. You can go. However, which department are you going to after leaving the
Marketing Department?â
Although Qin Mucheng started from the bottom, he was still the successor of the entire group. He could not possibly be like the others and rise up step by step from the bottom, right?
Qin Haowen wanted him to understand the work of the lower-level employees and establish his prestige among the employees.
As a leader, he would be managing the company in the future. He should know
all the departments.
Therefore, Qin Haowenâs plan was to rotate him between each important department for half a year to a year.
Ever since he returned to China, he has been in the Marketing Department for almost a year.
âThe next department is Finance.â Qin Mucheng said as he drove out.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, âFinance, managing money, itâs quite important.â Qin Mucheng laughed and asked about Zhang Kunâs situation, âHowâs Uncleâs recovery? Do you want to tell Uncle and Auntie to start preparing for our engagement party after Big Brotherâs?
âHis recovery is not bad. In the past few years, he had been clamoring to be discharged, saying he had had enough of staying in the hospital. My mother plans to take him for a checkup tomorrow. If heâs doing well, heâll be discharged tomorrow afternoon.â
âIf itâs the engagement party, Uncles and Aunts will all be coming, right? Weâll do it right after Big Brother, so they wonât have to run back and forth.â Qin Mucheng took the opportunity to say, âItâs so far away. Itâs not easy for them to make a trip here.â
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, âYes, butâ¦
Seeing Ji Yuanyuanâs concerns, Qin Mucheng quickly expressed his stance, âIf you have any requests, feel free to ask.â
âI just feel that if your family holds an engagement party, it will definitely be more grand.â
After all, the Qin familyâs family background was there for all to see. Furthermore, Qin Mucheng was the only son of the Qin family. Naturally, he valued him more.
âOf course, I will definitely give you the best.â
âBut if we get engaged right after Big Brother, will Sister Weiwei feel uncomfortable?â
Qin Mucheng was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that.
He was silent for a moment and said with some grievance, âAlright then, Iâll wait a few more months. But can we hold our engagement party before the new year?â
Seeing that Qin Mucheng had changed his mind, Ji Yuanyuan immediately agreed, âOf course, no problem.â
Qin Mucheng could not help but release his right hand to hold Ji Yuanyuanâs hand and gently rub it.
It was time to get off work, and the road was full of cars. Ji Yuanyuan could not help but struggle for a moment before she advised softly, âDrive properly.
Only then did Qin Mucheng retract his hand reluctantly.
Ji Yuanyuan looked ahead and suddenly said, âWhy donât I go to a driving school to get a driverâs license? Itâs more convenient to go anywhere. When we go out, if youâre tired, I can replace you.â
Qin Mucheng laughed, âIf youâre willing to learn, you donât have to go to driving school.â Iâll teach you. Thereâs no tuition fee.â
âSure, letâs do it this weekend. Come to my house and drive my dadâs old car.
Weâll find an empty space to practice.â
When Zhang Kun was first hospitalized, Ji Yuanyuan already had the idea of getting a driverâs license.
At that time, Second Brother was still in a fight because of his identity and rarely appeared in the hospital.
Big Brother had to go to school to help his mentor complete his research project, and he had to take care of their father in the hospital. It was inevitable there would be times when he could not take care of her.
As for her mother, she had to take care of the patients day and night. It was already hard enough.
Every time she had to drive home, she was so sleepy on the road that she fell asleep several times at red lights.
At that time, Ji Yuanyuan thought it would be great if she could drive too.
âOkay, Iâll look for you this weekend.â
The two of them went to eat hotpot and strolled around outside. It was not until past ten oâclock in the evening that Qin Mucheng sent Ji Yuanyuan home.
Ji Ziâang was the only one at home. Li Xu was accompanying Zhang Kun at the hospital while Ji Zixuan stayed at school.
When Ji Yuanyuan returned home, Ji Ziâang was lying on the sofa with a phone in his hand. He was talking to someone on the phone, and his face was full of smiles.
When he saw Ji Yuanyuan return, he quickly stopped smiling and began to
stutter.
Ji Yuanyuan pretended not to see him. She took a towel and pajamas and went to the bathroom.
By the time she came out of the bathroom, he had already hung up.
He sat on the sofa and watched TV absentmindedly.
The phone was in his hand, and he would take a look at it from time to time.
He was probably texting someone.
âGot a new girlfriend?â Ji Yuanyuan asked,
What happened today?
First, she met Yang Jingyi and her boyfriend, and now he found out Second Brother was also in a relationship?
What day was this?
âWhat new girlfriend, you donât talk nonsense. Iâm a devoted person.â
â â You got back together with that sister called Shuangshuang?â Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised.
When Ji Ziâang heard this, his expression froze.
It seemed that this was not the case. Ji Yuanyuan sighed.
âSince itâs not, why are you talking about being devoted?â Ji Yuanyuan shook her head and said helplessly.
Ji Ziâang opened his mouth as if he wanted to refute Ji Yuanyuanâs words.
But when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them.
He picked up his phone, stood up, and walked into the room, âWhat does it have to do with you? This is my privacy. I have the right not to tell you.â
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head helplessly as she watched Ji Ziâang leave.
She took her phone and returned to her room.
When she turned on her phone, she realized Yang Jingyi had called her twice at around eight oâclock.
At that time, she and Qin Mucheng were in the carâ¦
Ji Yuanyuan blushed.
Perhaps she was too engrossed in it, and her phone was in her bag, so she didnât hear it at all.
It wasnât even 11 p.m. yet, so Yang Jingyi definitely wasnât asleep.
Therefore, she directly called back.
Sure enough, Yang Jingyi wasnât asleep.
âWhy did you only call me back now?â She asked.
âI had something to do tonight, so I didnât look at my phone. Whatâs wrong?â Ji Yuanyuan explained guiltily.
After Ji Yuanyuan said that, it was Yang Jingyiâs turn to feel guilty.
âThat⦠I just want to remind you not to tell anyone about what happened today. Your mother, your father, your Big Brother, and your Second Brother canât know. They all know me. If they spill the beansâ¦â Yang Jingyi stammered and said in a flattering tone.
-Whatâs wrong? What are you afraid of?â Ji Yuanyuan asked in amusement..
