Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 166: Escape from Disaster
Gao Shu explained, "We don't know the specifics of what happened. We heard from the onlookers that Brother Da Niu and someone started arguing, it seems like..."

Gao Shu spoke softer and softer, lowering his head and avoiding Ji Sisi's gaze.

"What does it look like?"

Gao Shu swallowed hard, then said with a determined look, "It seems they said that our Huaihua Food Factory is run by women, and they complained that the prices were too high, and said a few words to Manager Ji."

"Which bastard said that? I'm going to find him and settle the score right now!"

Hu Zhibin raised his voice even higher, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and was about to rush out.

Ji Sisi wasn't as furious as Gao Shu had imagined.

She nodded and, without changing her expression, instructed the two, "Okay, I understand. The cafeteria is still open. If you hurry, you can still get food."

Gao Shu and Jiang Sirou were surprised.

"Manager Ji, aren't you angry?"

Before Ji Sisi could speak, Hu Zhibin, who was standing next to her, had already walked to the door. "Tell me quickly, which supply and marketing cooperative is it?"

In their eyes, Hu Zhibin's reaction was normal.

"Let's go eat. Manager Hu and I will handle the rest."

Ji Sisi urged the two to leave, "Xiao Hu, stop right there, what's your hurry?"

"How can I not be worried? They're even insulting us!"

Hu Zhibin was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged, as if he was determined to vent his anger.

"You lose your temper after just a few words of criticism. How can you set a good example for your subordinates? If the people you train are all this impulsive, I won't dare let you continue as manager."

Ji Sisi sat in the chair.

Seeing that she remained calm, Hu Zhibin said, "Sis, how can I not be angry? This person is clearly looking down on us!"

"You think you can just quit business because you look down on us? Niu Da and his gang were arrested for causing trouble just because they exchanged a few words. You think you can beat them up and expect me, a pregnant woman, to go and bail them out one by one?"

Ji Sisi unpacked the hawthorn cake. "Using a fist to shut someone up depends on the situation. Right now, bringing them back is the most important thing."

"Take a nap. I'll go to the commune this afternoon to get the paperwork approved, and then I'll go to the city by myself."

Ji Sisi noticed the time and realized she had completely missed it; she could only wait to catch the last bus to the county town.

Hu Zhibin objected, saying, "I'll go with you. I'm taking the train to Gu County tomorrow anyway, so if we go now, I can sleep in a little longer tomorrow."

Worried that Ji Sisi wouldn't take him along, Hu Zhibin reflected on his situation.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not act impulsively. Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."

Say the important thing three times.

Ji Sisi agreed, "I won't care if you go in. Think carefully about the consequences before you do anything."

Hu Zhibin repeatedly assured that he would absolutely not get angry.
-
imperial capital.

"Engineer Qi, someone is looking for you outside."

The gatekeeper delivered the message.

"Who is she to Engineer Qi?" a female voice asked first.

"It seems to be a family member of Engineer Qi."

The gatekeeper only knew that the three people outside were not ordinary people and that they always traveled by car, but now they were being stopped outside.

Bai Lijuan smiled and stood up first. "Engineer Qi, have you told your family about this? Otherwise, I'll go out with you now and explain to your family that you can't leave this meeting without permission."

Qi Yan shook his head and didn't raise it.

"No need, they'll leave eventually if they wait long enough."

The man's voice was cold, as if he hadn't heard the news. "But if you're free, I don't mind if you go out and explain for me."

There was someone next to him, making so much noise that his brain was working slower than usual, which affected his progress.

Bai Lijuan didn't understand the meaning behind Qi Yan's words, but seeing that he agreed, she happily followed him out.

Following the security guard to the gate, Bai Lijuan didn't see anyone standing outside. "Where are Engineer Qi's parents?"

The security guard pointed to the black car parked next to him, "That's the one sitting inside."

Bai Lijuan's pupils suddenly contracted. In the capital, owning a car is not uncommon, and those who do own cars are usually quite extraordinary.

Isn't Qi Yan from Gansu Province? How come his family is so rich?
Bai Lijuan went out and walked to the car.

When Qi Jianhua saw that someone had arrived, he opened the car door and got out. Shen Wanqing also got out of the car with Qi Yan.

"Hello, uncles and aunts, I am Qi Yan's colleague."

Bai Lijuan had only spoken halfway when Qi Jianhua raised his hand to signal her not to continue.

"Okay, I get it."

Shen Wanqing nodded slightly and said politely, "Thank you for coming out."

"Please pass on a message to him: his decision to leave our family for a woman was foolish. If he knows he was wrong, it's not too late for him to come home and apologize."

Qi Jianhua left those words behind and led the two people behind him back into the car.

Before Bai Lijuan could react, the three of them drove off, and she stared at the license plate, lost in thought.

She knew that Qi Yan was married.

But Bai Lijuan never expected that Qi Yanhan would break with his family because of a woman.

She thought about Qi Yan's work environment and couldn't help but wonder if Qi Yan had married someone from the countryside? That's why his family was so opposed to it.

Bai Lijuan couldn't think of any other reason besides this.

When I returned to the office, Qi Yanren was no longer there.

Bai Lijuan asked around among most of the researchers before finally finding Qi Yan in the warehouse.

The moment she walked in, the man's brows began to furrow.

"Engineer Qi, are you... hiding from your family?"

"No, I'm avoiding you."

Qi Yan knew they couldn't get in, but he knew Bai Lijuan would ask all sorts of questions when she returned. To improve his efficiency, he took his things and left the office, finding a storeroom instead.

Unexpectedly, she still managed to find it in the end.

"..."

Bai Lijuan was speechless, standing awkwardly in place, at a loss for what to do.

She skillfully ignored what had just been said, "Engineer Qi, is there some misunderstanding between you and your family? I saw your parents and your sister come to see you earlier. They asked me to pass on a message to you."

Qi Yan put down his pen and finally looked up at the person.

The man stood against the light, the sunlight streaming in and bathing his entire body in a golden glow, his deep eyes cold and indifferent.

"what?"

Bai Lijuan smiled, "Your aunt and uncle want you to come home when you have time, so they can clear up the misunderstanding with you."

Without saying a word, Qi Yan packed his things and prepared to leave. He walked very fast with his long legs, and Bai Lijuan hadn't even reacted yet, so she followed behind him.

"Engineer Qi, family members are the most important people in our lives. Misunderstandings should be resolved properly, and we shouldn't let them deepen because of some unimportant people."

Qi Yan understood who Bai Lijuan was referring to as the "unimportant person".

He stopped, his brows furrowing with impatience, and his gaze toward Bai Lijuan filled with disgust.

"So it turns out that Comrade Bai's poor work ability is due to his tendency to meddle in other people's business. Instead of wasting his time, he should focus on improving himself."

Bai Lijuan's voice in the corridor was quite loud, and every word reached the studio.

Someone couldn't resist pressing their ear against the door to eavesdrop.

Bai Lijuan couldn't believe that someone would say such hurtful things in public, especially to her.

"What...what do you mean by this?" Bai Lijuan's face turned pale, and she dared not chase after him any further.
