After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qingya hung her head sadly and remained silent for a long time.

Chen Jinghuai nervously approached to comfort her, only to see tears rolling down the girl's face.

Hot, glistening drops slammed into his heart, making his chest tighten. "Are you alright?"

Chen Jinghuai swallowed hard and asked cautiously.

Zhou Qingya raised her head and shook it vigorously, revealing her pale and injured appearance to the man: "It's nothing, my sister just... just had a misunderstanding. I'm fine."

This pure, kind, and resilient spirit earned Chen Jinghuai's high regard.

He gently patted the girl's back: "What kind of sister is this? So unreasonable. I think this is her problem. It's her own fault that men don't like her. Don't blame yourself."

Comforted, Zhou Qingya nestled close to the man, her eyes reddening as if she had suffered a great injustice, yet her eyes betrayed an undisguised smugness.

Zhou Liwan, let's see what makes you think you can compete with me. Guess whether Chen Jinghuai will still marry you after he finds out you're the one he hates!

I, Zhou Qingya, will definitely take everything from you.

I swear!

A group of people were sitting in the huge office, each of them talking at once.

"Chairman, this matter is definitely Song Yufei's fault. She has been negotiating all day. Production is scheduled for tomorrow, but the supplier has not delivered the goods yet."

"Yes, Chairman Zhou. It was she who suggested driving the suppliers to the brink of ruin and threatening them. The current irreversible situation is entirely due to her flawed thinking!"

[That Song Yufei is usually so annoying, always trying to show off in front of the boss. Look what happened, she messed up.]

I've disliked her for a long time. She's always arguing and calculating; just seeing her annoys me. Now look what happened—she fought for this opportunity to prove herself, and what did she get? She's just a half-baked amateur. Serves her right!

Zhou Liwan was unaware that so many people disliked Song Yufei, seemingly due to long-standing resentment.

This opportunity gave them a chance to get revenge, and they all started tattling on each other here.

The noise was making Zhou Liwan very annoyed.

She had initially thought that the girl had some ability; at least she dared to take the initiative and boldly make suggestions.

But with the current situation, if we let her continue like this, Wanbao will really be in danger.

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; without raw materials, how can production and operation continue?

Zhou Liwan pondered for a moment before standing up and saying solemnly, "Come on, come with me to the supplier's place."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Since the chairman isn't in the office, they can go home now, right? I have plans to see a movie with my boyfriend~

[Finally leaving! I've had enough! This is your company, not mine. Why should I be stuck here worrying about you?!]

Zhou Liwan glanced around the office with a deep look in her eyes, and then spoke in a harsh tone.

"Everyone in my office tonight must submit a solution to me tonight. This is a matter of life and death for the company. If the company fails, you will all lose your jobs. I don't think you want that, do you?"

[Ah—No!—(Groundhog scream)]

My sweetheart is still waiting for me. Why did the chairman have to make us work overtime today?

"Ring ring—" The landline on the desk rang. Zhou Liwan's eyes paused for a moment, and she immediately went over to answer it.

Standing on the factory's delivery platform, Song Yufei excitedly watched the workers loading boxes of goods onto the truck: "Chairman, the job is done! The supplier has agreed to deliver normally. The workers are loading the truck now, and I think the goods will arrive at the factory around midnight. We can start production smoothly first thing tomorrow morning!"

Zhou Liwan finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. All her strength seemed to have been drained away, and she slumped into a chair.

Thankfully, everything is resolved.

The company managed to barely resolve all the problems.

"Did you get any information?" Zhou Liwan asked seriously after calming down.

Song Yufei glanced at the truck that was still being loaded, then walked to the side and whispered, "Based on my guess, this matter is related to the former chairman."

Zhou Liwan raised an eyebrow, completely unexpected yet perfectly reasonable.

She knew all along that Han Kui wouldn't let it go so easily. How could someone as addicted to gambling as him just obediently cooperate with her, pat his behind, and give up his position without a trace?

"Okay, I understand. After you're done, please make sure to tell the factory to do a good job of inspection and warehousing. Once everything is confirmed to be correct, we'll start production first thing tomorrow morning."

Song Yufei's voice showed no signs of fatigue, but rather excitement: "Yes, leader!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Liwan looked up at the group of people who didn't know whether to leave or stay and smiled faintly.

[Holy crap, what's with that expression on the chairman's face? I'm scared!]

[Is the problem solved? Does that mean I don't have to work overtime anymore? Can I go on my date now?]

[Did that bitch Song Yufei actually succeed this time? Couldn't the person behind this be a little more reliable? They were discovered so easily? I'm speechless. I was hoping to see Song Yufei punished, but that wish is gone. So boring.]

"Alright, everyone go back now. It's getting late, go back and get some rest." Zhou Liwan didn't want to say anything more, she was also very tired.

I wanted to go home and sleep early, and I hadn't eaten all day.

Now that the matter is resolved, I feel so hungry after relaxing.

"Chairman, Old Master Jiang sent someone to bring you some late-night snacks. Would you like to bring them in now?"

The receptionist at the entrance, carrying a bag of things, cautiously inquired at the door.

When Zhou Liwan heard there was food, her eyes immediately lit up. How could her grandfather know that she was so hungry that she was dizzy?

After the secretary arranged the items, everyone left the office without lingering.

Zhou Liwan's mouth watered as she looked at the abundant dishes.

This also includes my favorite Eight Treasure Duck, and yellow peach jelly.

There seems to be a concert going on outside the window, unlike the confusion I felt a few days ago.

Zhou Li was unusually relaxed today.

The moment the warm and familiar food entered her mouth, Zhou Liwan couldn't help but hum happily, as if every cell in her body had relaxed.

The food slid down her esophagus into her stomach, and the intense satisfaction brought tears to Zhou Liwan's eyes.

After finishing her meal, she picked up her phone and sent her grandfather a picture of her round, bulging belly.

A short while later, a voice message came back: "My dear, you're still at the company so late~~ Your grandpa is so worried about you. If you can't manage, I'll have your uncle help you for a few days, so you won't be so tired. You're clearly a psychology student, there's no need to force yourself to do things you're not good at."

With a slightly hoarse voice filled with self-pity, Zhou Liwan couldn't help but squat down and cry.

It wasn't that I was particularly sad, but when faced with warmth, I inexplicably lost control of my emotions and wanted to rush back and hug my grandfather tightly.

Tell him you love him very much.
