Chapter 23 - Zhao Qiuyan's shock

Zhao Qiuyan didn't give Ye Changqing a chance to speak and quickly hung up the phone. She was worried that if Ye Changqing came and didn't get to see Wang Zhongyue, it would just add to her troubles, and she didn't want Ye Changqing to cause any more chaos. She looked up at the sky. It was getting dark, and she became even more anxious.

Liu Mingfeng (It should be Zhao Mingfeng), on the other hand, was in a very different state from Zhao Qiuyan. He was smoking a cigarette leisurely. Looking at the time, he said to Zhao Qiuyan, "Don't wait. It's getting dark soon. It's almost dinner time. Disturbing someone's dinner would make us even more disliked." He said this with a hint of smugness. Today, having obtained the support of the Liu family, he was confident of victory.

Zhao Qiuyan's face was dark, and she remained silent. Her uncle was clearly showing off to her. Wang Zhongyue was going to have a meeting in the military region tomorrow, so today was the last chance. If she couldn't meet him today, the position of president would really be taken away from her.

The day after tomorrow was her mother's birthday party, the only grand celebration her mother had ever had. Her father had no sons, and although she was a daughter, she had become the president. She wanted to make her father proud at her mother's birthday party. If she lost the position of president, her mother's birthday would become a joke, and her father would lose face. Even the business of the Zhao family would decline sharply.

"Uncle, Grandpa gave you opportunities before, but what was the result? After the three of you made all those mistakes and lost so much money, the Zhao family is already weak inside despite appearing strong on the outside. I just don't understand why you won't let me focus on my career," Zhao Qiuyan said.

Zhao Mingfeng glared at Zhao Qiuyan. "Are you calling me a loser? Zhao Qiuyan, we are determined to take this presidency. The day after tomorrow, at your mother's birthday party, it will be a celebration banquet for my son becoming the president!" After saying that, he turned around and signaled to his son to leave.

Zhao Qiushan pointed at the gate of the Wang family. "Aren't we going to see President Wang?"

Zhao Mingfeng looked at the time. "The Wang family has important guests today, and it's dinner time. It's even less likely that they will see us. With the support of the Liu family, we are sure to win. Let's go home and have a celebration drink!"

Zhao Qiuyan's face was livid, but she silently waited. Even though she knew there might be no chance, she still didn't want to leave. Since the Wang family was receiving important guests, Wang Zhongyue would surely see the guests off in person when they left. She was waiting for that moment. Just when she was getting impatient, she heard footsteps coming from the right. She subconsciously turned to look and was stunned. Ye Changqing had come, and he had already offended the Liu family. She really didn't want Ye Changqing to cause any more trouble. "Why are you here?"

Ye Changqing smiled and said, "You haven't seen Wang Zhongyue, right? I have a way to see him."

Zhao Qiuyan got angry when she heard this. "Ye Changqing, can you recognize your own identity? You're just a doctor. You're nothing in front of these wealthy and powerful families. They won't even give you a second glance! What could you possibly do?!"

Ye Changqing took out the jade - made business card given by Liu Hengyu. "I have this. Maybe I can give it a try."

Zhao Qiuyan's face was cold as frost, and her eyes were full of disappointment. "Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened at the Liu family? You said you had a way to make Mr. Liu come out to meet you, but when Mr. Liu came out, he just told you to leave!"

Ye Changqing's face turned slightly red. He hadn't expected that Mr. Liu was not Liu Hengyu but his son Liu Rui. It was just an embarrassing misunderstanding. "In fact, it was just a misunderstanding. Later, Liu Hengyu came back and explained everything clearly. Liu Rui even apologized to me."

Zhao Qiuyan was completely speechless. There was a look of disgust on her pretty face, and she didn't want to talk to Ye Changqing anymore. The little bit of good impression she had of him was completely gone. Taking a deep breath, she tried hard not to lose her temper. "Don't tell such obvious lies, okay? Do you think I can't see through such things? Liu Rui apologized to you? Why don't you say that the sun rises in the west?"

Ye Changqing saw that Zhao Qiuyan didn't believe him, so he pointed to a car parked in the distance. "Do you see that car? Liu Rui drove me here."

Zhao Qiuyan shook her head slightly. "The more you talk, the more ridiculous it sounds. I really can't stand it. Mr. Liu is your driver? How dare you think of that. I'm going to expose your lies today. Let's go and see who's driving the car."

Just as she was about to go over, the car drove over and stopped in front of them. Liu Rui got out of the car.

Zhao Qiuyan's mouth opened wide in disbelief as she looked at Liu Rui. It was really Mr. Liu. Could it be that what Ye Changqing said was true? Did Liu Rui really drive Ye Changqing here?

Just as she was shocked, Liu Rui walked to the back door of the car, opened it, and held his hand above the car roof in a respectful manner. "Please, Ms. Zhao, and Doctor Ye, get in the car," he said.

Zhao Qiuyan felt like she was in a dream. Liu Rui's behavior was exactly like that of a driver. However, Liu Rui was someone the Zhao family looked up to. He was actually driving for Ye Changqing. She was so shocked that her mind went blank.

Ye Changqing smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, don't go. My girlfriend heard that you were my driver and came over to say hello."

"Oh," Liu Rui quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Zhao Qiuyan. "Ms. Zhao, it was all a misunderstanding at my house today. Don't take it to heart. The day after tomorrow is your mother's birthday. My father will go in person to give a birthday gift and show his support for you."

Zhao Qiuyan shook Liu Rui's hand, feeling very excited. It was a great honor for the old man to come and celebrate in person. Just this alone would make her mother's birthday party very glorious. "Thank you for your father's trouble. We will warmly welcome him. Thank you also for driving Ye Changqing here. Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Rui became even more humble. "It's my honor to drive for Doctor Ye. You're welcome."

After they exchanged some polite words, Ye Changqing asked Liu Rui to go back to the car and wait. He led Zhao Qiuyan towards the gate of the Wang family. "Maybe I have a way to see Wang Zhongyue. Let's give it a try." He dared to say this because he had a jade - made business card of the Liu family in his hand. He believed that the Wang family would show respect for it.

Zhao Qiuyan remembered the business card Ye Changqing took out. "Do you mean that business card?"

Ye Changqing took out the business card and handed it to Zhao Qiuyan. "Yes, this is it. You can try using it."

Zhao Qiuyan took the business card and rubbed it with her fingers. It was already dark. She couldn't see the appearance of the business card clearly, but it felt good, cold and smooth. "A jade - made business card? I don't think I've heard of it before. I'll give it a try."

She now had some confidence in Ye Changqing and was also curious about him. She thought she knew Ye Changqing, but he had surprised her. There seemed to be a mysterious side to him, which made her want to explore further.

She walked to the gate with the business card and handed it to the security guard. "Hello, I'm Zhao Qiuyan, and I want to see President Wang."

The security guard didn't take the card and directly refused. "I've told you several times. Don't you understand? President Wang is receiving important guests. Nobody is allowed to see him. Please go back!"
