Chapter 169 - Was It Your Friend Who Registered for Marriage? Congratulations! (2/2)

The next morning, Qi Chengzhi opened up his Wechat as he was having his breakfast. He was wondering what kind of reactions had yesterday’s photo brought to the others.

The first comment was made by Han Zhuoli: “Qi Chengzhi, do you have any compassion?! Don’t go around showing off, could you?!”

Yan Beicheng: “Qi Chengzhi, do you have any compassion?! Don’t go around showing off, could you?!”

Wei Zhiqian: “Qi Chengzhi, do you have any compassion?! Don’t go around showing off, could you?!”

Wei Ziling: “Qi Chengzhi, do you have any compassion?! Don’t go around showing off, could you?!”

Chu Zhaoyang: “I look down on you.”

Qi Chenglin: ” The one above, could you queue up?! Big brother, do you have any compassion?! Don’t go around showing off, could you?!”

Then, it was the last comment.

Ran Xiangsi: “Was it your friend who had registered marriage? Congratulations!”

Qi Chengzhi did not reply to the comments, but frowned and clicked on the name of “Ran Xiangsi”. He dropped it straight into his blacklist. Then, he put down his phone as if nothing had happened.

…

…

Qi Chengzhi stopped his car at the entrance of Song Yu’s company. After Song Yu unbuckled her belt, he held up her left hand and looked at the wedding ring on her ring finger. His gorgeous face cracked into a satisfied smile.

Song Yu kissed him and said, “Drive carefully.”

Then, she exited the car.

Qi Chengzhi watched as she joined the crowd, stopping in front of the elevator. He took off only after she had squeezed into the elevator together with the crowd.

When Song Yu went into the company, there was no one in the office except Ruan Danchen. Hence, Song Yu told Ruan Danchen quietly about registering her marriage with Qi Chengzhi the day before.

Ruan Danchen grabbed her left hand and gasped at the sight of the diamond ring. “Every move from Qi Chengzhi is always shocking!”

Song Yu remembered the words that Grandmother Han had said last night and gave a thought about them. She asked politely, “Since you haven’t had any boyfriend, why don’t I introduce someone to you? I’ve gotten to know quite a few of Qi Chengzhi’s friends. All of them are single. Plus, they have good characteristics. All of them are very responsible unlike those common playboys.”

Song Yu also thought that Ruan Danchen was a good lady. She might not able to be with Qi Chenglin, but there would always be somebody else, right?

That was why she did not mention Qi Chenglin.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Danchen shook her head. “Forget it. The affection between you and Qi Chengzhi happened naturally. It was he who chose you from the bottom of his heart. If you introduced one to me, won’t it be a blind date then? Those friends of Qi Chengzhi aren’t the type who will fall for the lady they meet on a blind date. They will not fall for me. Even if they do meet me in person, it will also be because of you.”

“Plus, what kind of family background do they have? An ordinary person like me don’t deserve them.” Ruan Danchen kept shaking her head. “Our situation is different. Your situation can not be replicated. Forget it, just forget it. I don’t want to embarrass myself.”

Song Yu chuckled at her words. “You really are… Others would like to have a chance to know rich people. You are the opposite and would rather hide far away from them before it’s too late.”

“This is having self-consciousness.” Ruan Danchen guffawed. “I may be like most of the ladies, dreaming to have a prince charming. But, I’m also logical. The prince charming in my heart doesn’t have to have a high status or a lot of money. He could just be an ordinary office worker but treats me sincerely. Whether it’s before or after marriage, as long as he treats me the same all along.”

Ruan Danchen chuckled and shook her head. “This is such a simple request. But only a few of them can succeed nowadays. So, why should I be chasing the shadows of those high-status men? To be honest, I don’t want to get near those wealthy families.”

The expression on Ruan Danchen was sincere, and it was not just to create a good impression.

Song Yu rested her chin on her hands, looking at Ruan Danchen as she said with a smirk, “It’s a pity that Cheng Dongge has a girlfriend who’s going to be his fiance. Or else, I’ll be introducing him to you.”

“Is it because of your marriage that you are loosening yourself up? Starting to be all concerned about other people, feeling the urge to be cupid!” said Ruan Danchen grumpily.

Song Yu laughed. As she was about to answer Ruan Danchen, she got a call from Qi Chengzhi. Under the teasing gaze of Ruan Danchen, she ran to the corner to pick it up.

“I’ve arrived at the company,” Qi Chengzhi reported with a soft tone through the phone.

“Alright,” whispered Song Yu. “Go on with your work then.”

She heard Qi Chengzhi answered “okay” on the phone. Now, Song Yu could easily recognize the emotions in his tone.

Qi Chengzhi had given a simple answer but she could tell that he was in a good mood.

Qi Chengzhi did not end the call immediately. Song Yu smiled sheepishly—blushing—and said, “Goodbye honey.”

She did not have the courage to hear him reply and ended the call immediately after.

Holding onto the phone, her face was still flushing and her scalp was tingling. Her heart was beating rapidly as if she had just finished a one hundred meters sprint race.

Qi Chengzhi looked at his phone in a daze. He was not prepared for what Song Yu had said, and was too stunned to speak a word before Song Yu ended the call hastily.

Qi Chengzhi was stunned for half the day. Regaining his mind later, his gaze at the phone was gentle, though his smile seemed to be a bit silly.

After giving the door three knocks, Cheng Dongge went in. “Young Master Cheng, did you call…”

Not even getting to finish his sentence, Cheng Dongge was dumbstruck, looking in horror at the silly smile on Qi Chengzhi’s face.

However, in a blink of an eye the silly smile on his face was gone. It returned to its usual stern expression that forbade strangers from going near him.

Qi Chengzhi lifted his gaze to him coldly. Immediately, Cheng Dongge regained his posture, pretending as if he had not seen anything. After closing the door carefully, he walked to Qi Chengzhi.

“Young Master Cheng, this is what you have requested for. The information about Yu Zidong’s company.” Cheng Dongge placed the file in front of Qi Chengzhi. The title of the file was Dong Hua Finance Management. “These are the information of several major clients of the company. Besides, some investments are entrusted to them by several of its medium and minor clients. Mostly are notes, futures, trust, and stock. Due to their interest rate being higher than most of the banks, they do have a good reputation in recent years. Besides, they have two different financial management, break-even, and no break-even. That is why their business performance is getting better and better.”

“These are their investment products and details.” Cheng Dongge placed another file down, side by side with the previous one.

“Which are those that Yu Zidong invested himself?” Qi Chengzhi was reading the documents. Without looking up, a file appeared in front of him again.

Cheng Dongge spoke, “These. Part of it is invested in the name of Yu Zidong’s company. The other part of it is invested using his own title. Among the products that are invested using his title name, Yu Zidong has earned quite a huge sum of money from one of them. He has invested alongside with Liang Lihua in that particular one because he has received some internal information about it. Liang Lihua threw part of her savings into it.”

Qi Chengzhi glanced at the files. He did not read further but paused and said, “Yu Keyao is graduating this year, isn’t she?

“That’s right.” Cheng Dongge nodded. “She doesn’t plan to further her studies or to pursue her studies abroad. She majors in fashion design. Yu Zidong is planning to set up a studio for her. The place for it has already been chosen, an outlet located in the neighborhood nearby. Recently, Yu Zidong is also getting in touch with some brands and well-known buyers. He is paving the way for Lu Keyao with his networking skills.”

…

…

Not long after Song Yu ended the call with Qi Chengzhi, Director Zhao arrived at the office. Jian Yi followed right behind him.

Director Zhao gestured with his arm, ushering Jian Yi to go in before him.

Song Yu saw Jian Yi but pretended to have not. With her head down, she continued her work.

“Little Song.” Director Zhao walked to the desk where Song Yu had been. With a gentle and ingratiating manner, he spoke, “Manager Jian of Qilin is here. He has some work-related issues to talk about. Is it alright if you discuss with him in the reception room?”

Director Zhao heard that Song Yu had registered marriage with Qi Chengzhi. She had become a true Mrs. Qi, and from now on, anyone who came across Song Yu must pay respect to her. He was only the owner of a small company. His status was far from enough. That was why his manners to Song Yu was becoming more humble.

On the other side, Jian Yi was widely known as the son-in-law of the Qi family. Therefore, Director Zhao did not dare to provoke either one of them. Instantly, he was agonizing over being a boss like this.

Song Yu looked up and took a cold glance at Jian Yi. Director Zhao was confused. Why was Song Yu unhappy with Jian Yi?

It was Jian Yi who had got her into this company in the first place.

Looking formal, Song Yu went around the desk and uttered, “Manager Jian, please come with me.”

Jian Yi nodded with his serious face. It made Song Yu doubt whether he was really there for public affairs.

Song Yu brought Jian Yi to the reception room and allowed him to go in first. Then, she walked in, leaving the door open on purpose.

Jian Yi had not sat down yet when he turned and saw Song Yu’s behavior. With a clear understanding of it, he snickered and said, “If you don’t mind revealing the truth behind Song family’s bankruptcy, I won’t make any comment about that opened door.”

Song Yu’s hand was still on the doorknob. She tensed up suddenly due to Jian Yi’s words. Blue veins appeared on the back of her fair hand and her blood vessels could clearly be seen. Her knuckles went white because of her tension.

She frowned, grinding her teeth. This was her first time feeling such an intense hatred towards Jian Yi.

She slammed the door with a bang and could not be bothered to hide the disgust on her face. “Jian Yi, how long do you want to do this?! Can you not pester me all day?! Go and live your life! This is my business! Don’t you stick your nose into it!”
