Chapter 22 Quite Magical

The woman who came in was none other than the newly appointed female boss of their Dianchuang company, Liu Meijun.

Chen Feng never dreamed that she was Qin Xiaorou’s mother.

Similarly, Liu Meijun never dreamed that the person eating with her daughter was actually Chen Feng, an employee of her own company.

He had just left a deep impression on her two days ago.

“You… know each other?”

Qin Xiaorou was also very surprised at this moment. Her mother actually knew the uncle? How was this possible?

“Chen Feng, how do you know Xiaorou?”

Liu Meijun had originally thought that the person her daughter was eating with alone was a teenager of the same age, and since they were eating alone, it was a sign of puppy love. She was of course very angry and worried, and rushed over in a hurry.

But now that she saw it was Chen Feng, with such a large age gap between them, it was impossible for him to have anything with her daughter. In addition, the impression Chen Feng had given her before was very good, so her anger dissipated. She was just very curious, how did the two of them meet?
Before Chen Feng could speak, Qin Xiaorou immediately said, “We met online. We occasionally play games together online, and we got to know each other over time and added each other on WeChat. This is only the second time we’ve met in person.”

Liu Meijun frowned, “You still play games often? Didn’t I tell you, the high school entrance exam is coming up soon, no more games.”

Qin Xiaorou pouted slightly and defended herself, “I haven’t played for a long time. I’m tired of the online games.”

“Really?” Liu Meijun was suspicious.

“Of course, it’s true.” Qin Xiaorou answered frankly.

She indeed no longer played League of Legends, but instead often went to the arcade to play arcade games.

“Alright.” Liu Meijun nodded and finally turned to Chen Feng again, “This is really a coincidence. I didn’t expect you to know my daughter. I heard you haven’t been to work these past two days. Are you really planning to resign?”

Chen Feng nodded, “Yes. Actually, I planned to resign two years ago, but at that time I had signed a five-year contract with the company, and I had to pay a penalty for resigning early. Now there are only two or three months left on the five-year contract. If the company still doesn’t agree, I can only drag it out until the contract ends.”

Liu Meijun pondered for a moment and then said, “I’ve heard about your situation from Old Zhang. You were originally very capable, and the position of planning department manager should have been yours. As a result, when Cao Kun came to power, you were targeted and suppressed by him. Thanks to your report last time, Yan Jun can’t escape, and what awaits him is prison. Therefore, I intend for you to take the position of planning department manager.

As for Cao Kun, he is now suspended pending investigation. If concrete evidence is found, he will also have to go to prison. Even if there is no evidence of a crime, he will be dismissed. Dianchuang’s profits have been in the negative for two consecutive years, and he is to blame. Old Zhang will take over as general manager. And Old Zhang also thinks very highly of you. Do you understand what I mean?”

Chen Feng’s face was calm as he shook his head, “Thank you for your kindness, Director Liu. But I really don’t plan to continue working.”

Liu Meijun immediately frowned. Just as she was about to speak again, she was interrupted by Qin Xiaorou, “Alright, Mom. We’re here to eat, why are you talking about work? Also, since the uncle doesn’t want to continue working, why are you forcing him to stay? Isn’t that making things difficult for him?”

Seeing this, Liu Meijun had to say, “How about this, Chen Feng, you can take a leave with pay. I’ll give you some more time to consider. If you still want to resign after a while, I’ll let you.”

“Then thank you very much.”

Chen Feng didn’t want to continue this topic either. Anyway, it was the same for him whether he resigned or not now; he wasn’t going to work anymore.

“Since we all know each other, let’s eat together. Let’s go to my private room.”

Liu Meijun pointed outside. Although it seemed that Chen Feng and her daughter wouldn’t have anything, she was still not at ease leaving the two of them alone in a room.

“Mom, we’ve already ordered our food here, why should we go to your place? The uncle doesn’t know any of your friends.” Qin Xiaorou glared at Liu Meijun unhappily.

“Alright then. Go over as soon as you finish eating. Don’t disturb Chen Feng.”

Perhaps seeing that her daughter was really angry, and also believing that Chen Feng would not do anything to her daughter, she did not insist.

“Chen Feng, then I’ll go first. Take your time eating.”

After giving Chen Feng a slightly warning look, Liu Meijun finally went out.

“Really. It’s so annoying to be bothered even during a meal. I hate it.”

As soon as Liu Meijun left, Qin Xiaorou was fuming, feeling that her mother had embarrassed her.

“She’s just concerned about you. If you were my daughter and I knew you were eating alone with a man, I wouldn’t be at ease either.”

“Get lost! Do you have a daughter this old? Taking advantage of me.”

Chen Feng smiled bitterly, “Alright, do you want some hot water?”

“Okay, pour me a cup.”

Qin Xiaorou started ordering him around without being polite.

Chen Feng picked up the thermos and poured a cup of hot water for both of them. The water temperature was just right.

After taking a sip, Qin Xiaorou said, “I really didn’t expect you to be someone from my mom’s company. It’s quite magical.”

Chen Feng also found it magical, and seriously suspected that it was arranged by that invisible hand in the dark, just like the several consecutive coincidences with Zhang Jingwen before.

“Aren’t you going to say something?”

Seeing that Chen Feng was not speaking, Qin Xiaorou asked curiously again.

“Say what? That you’re my boss’s daughter?”

“No. Don’t you think it’s magical? And my mom is so domineering, as you can see. I’m from a single-parent family, and we have a generation gap. Sometimes I sneak off to the arcade because I’m too bored at home alone. I’m not one of those bad girls. My grades are very good.”

Seeing Qin Xiaorou say so much at once, Chen Feng found it a little funny in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face at all.

“You’re right. It’s magical and fateful that we met by chance at the arcade, and you’re also my boss’s daughter. Also, I don’t look down on you, and I don’t think you’re a bad girl. You’re overthinking it. Also, I think that although your mom is a bit domineering, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. You also said that you’re from a single-parent family. If your mom wasn’t domineering, how could she support your family? How could she bring you a prosperous life? So, you should also try to be considerate of your mother.”

Chen Feng’s words were quite reasonable, but this wild girl, Qin Xiaorou, couldn’t listen to them at all and directly retorted, “If you think she’s good, then you might as well pursue her. You’re both single now, I don’t object to you being my stepfather.”

Chen Feng almost choked on a mouthful of water. He quickly swallowed it, let out a breath, and said with a wry smile, “Aren’t you setting your mom up? How could I possibly be worthy of such an excellent woman as your mother?”

Qin Xiaorou said dismissively, “Her excellence is only in her career. In terms of being a person, family, and life, she is not excellent at all. The reason my dad divorced her back then was because she was too domineering and aggressive. My dad lived a very憋屈 (aggrieved) life, and then he couldn’t hold it in and had an affair.”

Hearing about her family’s privacy, Chen Feng was very speechless and forcibly changed the subject, “Alright, don’t tell me about your family’s affairs. Let’s talk about whether you want to go abroad in the future.”
