Chapter 179 Home is where love is

Seeing that Director Wang hadn't gotten close yet, Ji Sisi urged the workers loading the goods in a low voice, "Could you please hurry up, comrades? I have something urgent to do at the factory. Thank you for your hard work."

Director Wang walked over, adopting the air of a leader, with his hands behind his back.

"Manager Ji, I haven't even had a chance to congratulate you yet. You're really lucky; the factory is doing better and better."

Ji Sisi gave a forced smile, "Thanks to Director Wang, things are indeed getting smoother and smoother."

"Didn't you guys order packaging bags from Gu County before? Why are you suddenly coming here again?"

Fu Jiaming's face fell, and he looked at Director Wang with a mournful expression.

If it weren't for you, old man, would the factory have suffered such losses? You even forced Manager Ji to go to the neighboring county, preferring that the neighboring county make money rather than your own county.

"Isn't this because we want to prioritize the printing plants in our own county? We don't want the profits to go to outsiders."

Ji Sisi had a smile on her face, but her eyes were icy cold.

"Although it's a bit late, there's plenty of time later."

Director Wang's expression stiffened, and he changed the subject, "Have you heard what County Chief Wei said?"

They subtly inquired whether Ji Sisi knew about it. If she did, Director Wang could now legitimately have her review the proposal.

"Oh... I think Director Yan mentioned it to me, but I've been too busy with things at the factory lately, so I can't remember clearly."

Anyone with eyes can tell that Ji Sisi simply doesn't want to do anything.

"We must not forget those who dug the well when we drink the water. The factory was able to be set up thanks to County Chief Wei. Now that County Chief Wei has asked you to help us review the plans for the other communes, Manager Ji, are you trying to shirk your responsibilities and not even take the county chief's words seriously?"

Look, with just a few words, Ji Sisi was put on the hot seat, and a huge pot was poured on her as well.

"Director Wang, you're exaggerating. I've always been grateful to County Chief Wei and have worked hard to make Huaihua Food Factory better and better. My goal is not to disappoint him, and I also want to use my strength to prove those who doubt County Chief Wei and me wrong."

Ji Sisi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and not get angry.

“I will explain this matter to County Chief Wei. If Director Wang is thinking of lecturing me, I won’t keep him company. I have a lot of things to take care of at my factory.”

After saying that, Ji Sisi gestured for Master Shi to get in the car, "Master Shi, let's go. Time is money now, and we've already wasted time just by talking a few words."

Director Wang was embarrassed, realizing that Ji Sisi was subtly criticizing her.

"What great things can a woman accomplish? So petty!" Director Wang only dared to curse in the direction Ji Sisi left after she had gone.

Fu Jiaming couldn't stand it anymore. "Director Wang, when you ask for help, you should act like you're asking for help. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Director Wang glared at Fu Jiaming.

"You have no right to speak here!" With that, Director Wang stormed off.

imperial capital.

Qi Jianhua didn't come back after dinner yesterday. Qi Yan kept his word and left right after dinner.

Shen Wanqing was so angry that she kept crying at home.

The next day, which was supposed to be a day off for them, Qi Yan was called to the office as soon as he returned to his dormitory.

When Qi Yan entered the room and saw Qi Jianhua sitting in Director Gu's office, he immediately turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" A strong voice rang out throughout the office.

“Go back now and apologize to your mother for the rubbish you said, and I will still consider you my son.”

Although Qi Jianhua is already fifty-six years old, he has maintained his figure well and has not gained weight. He has strong features, a serious expression, and a strong sense of pressure.

Qi Yan said coldly, "What if I don't apologize?" "Qi Yan, you think you're all grown up now? You really think I can't control you anymore?"

Qi Jianhua lost his temper after only the second sentence, and at the same time, he was truly certain that Qi Yan did not want to easily bow down to his family.

“After things stabilize in a few years, you can bring her back to the capital to live. Wouldn’t that be better than you staying in Gansu Province? I heard she’s pregnant. You can bring the baby back with you then.”

Qi Yan found these words sarcastic; his wife and children needed his father's permission to return to the capital.

"I don't need you to tell me what to do in my life, I know how I should live."

At this moment, Qi Yan's resentment towards his parents reached its peak—a resentment he felt when he was abandoned, and a resentment he felt when they interfered with his studies and work as an adult.

He could have stayed at the main hospital after graduation, but because he didn't listen to them, he was assigned to the remote Gansu province.

He accepted all of this, but now that Qi Yan has found him again, she still wants to treat him like an object and manipulate him at will.

Qi Jianhua stood up and walked up to Qi Yan. "Try repeating what you just said to me again?"

Why make things difficult for yourself, knowing I'll repeat the same mistake?

Qi Yan's smile was sarcastic, as he personally tore open the wound deep within his heart.

"I finally have my own family. If you insist on tearing things apart and severing ties, I don't mind. Anyway, I've been used to living alone for so many years. Whether I have parents or not is not important."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person opposite him raised his hand and slapped Qi Yan across the face without any mercy.

"You're willing to abandon your family for a woman, aren't you?"

“Secretary Qi, home isn’t where you are; home is where love is.” Qi Yan raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Qi Jianhua raised his hand, intending to slap Qi Yan again, but seeing that he showed no intention of dodging, he lowered his hand.

"I'll compromise one last time. If you bring people back, your mother and I will forgive and forget everything that happened before, and we won't care about her background."

After much back and forth, Qi Jianhua still ordered Qi Yan in the tone of a superior.

He didn't act like a father at all, and Qi Yan became more and more irritated as he listened.

Qi Yan: "I am not your puppet, and she is not my puppet. We are not obligated to do whatever you say."

"If I want to talk about this again, I'm going back to my dorm to pack my things and I'll go back tomorrow."

The father and son remained locked in a stalemate, with Qi Jianhua refusing to back down, threatening, "If you don't come back, believe me, I can make you lose everything you have now."

"You can't just take away my current abilities and status as you please," Qi Yan retorted.

"Compared to someone who is about to retire and has made outstanding contributions to the country, it is really uncertain who the organization will choose. Even if your grandfather used his military merits to build up connections for you, it won't be so easy for you to help me get out of office."

"Don't forget, the person who raised me from childhood, I believe those uncles and elders can see clearly who is closest to him."

Qi Jianhua stared at the person in front of him in disbelief.

For the first time, he felt that he had lost to Qi Yan in terms of momentum.

He thought Qi Yan was focused on the plane and didn't care about these things, but it turned out that it was all just a facade.

Qi Jianhua suddenly felt a sense of fear towards the person in front of him. It was strange that he would be afraid of his own son.

"Don't interfere in my affairs anymore. If I have the chance, I will bring her and the child to visit you. I don't know when."

After saying that, Qi Yan turned and left without hesitation.

Qi Jianhua watched his resolute back as he slumped into a chair, feeling empty and extremely sad.
