As soon as Luo Qi opened his eyes, the dazzling light made him frown in pain. A feeling of dizziness surged through his head. He held his head with both hands, curled up his body, and let out a series of intermittent groans.
"Come, have a cup of tea to sober you up."
Luo Qi subconsciously reached out to take the cup. After a few sips of hot tea, the hangover discomfort gradually dissipated. He struggled to sit up and asked, "Where am I?"
The person who handed over the tea just now chuckled and answered the question irrelevantly: "Boss Luo, you've had a good sleep, so you'll feel better now, right?"
Luo Qi rubbed his temples, and the fragments of his memory before he got drunk became a new line. His eyes finally focused, and when he looked up, he could clearly see the smiling face of the person in front of him.
"Wen... why are you here?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Luo Qi knew that he had said something stupid. As expected, Wen Liang smiled again and said, "Since Mr. Luo is Miss Yan's man, how dare I not come to the big world to wait for him?"
Luo Qi's mouth twitched. He didn't even want to think about how serious the consequences would be if he revealed Yan Qixiu's name while drunk. Fear flashed across his eyes, but he still tried to remain calm, straightened his clothes, and said, "Young Master Wen, you're joking..."
Wen Liang stared at him without blinking, the smile on his face gradually faded, his tone became cold, and he said: "I never joke with people who are not friends. Mr. Luo, when you have time, why don't you introduce me to Miss Yan?"
Luo Qi quickly thought about Wen Liang's intentions and how to deal with the current situation. He responded, "Young Master Wen, you are joking again. You have great magical powers and are well-connected. If you want to meet someone, why do you need me to introduce you?"
He was cautious now, and refused to mention anything about "Yan Qixiu", but it was too late to regret what he had said. Wen Liang smiled and said, "I have my own way to see Miss Yan, and there is really no need for Mr. Luo to show up. But if Miss Yan asks why her people were detained, even I am confused, how should I answer?"
Luo Qi knew that he had offended Wen Liang badly this time, but he was not afraid. After all, he and Yan Qixiu were on the same side. Even if he had not made any contributions, he had worked hard over the years. He was far from being comparable to Wen Liang, an outsider. Even if Yan Qixiu was dissatisfied with his actions, it was an internal matter after he returned. It had nothing to do with Wen Liang. He said with a hint of sarcasm: "I thought Wen Shaotian was fearless, but it turns out that there are people he is afraid of. This is really unexpected, really unexpected!"
An Baoqing, who had been silent, suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "Luo Qi, don't be ungrateful. Young Master Wen is willing to sit down and talk with you because he is giving you a chance. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for not respecting our brotherhood!"
“Brother Jiu, don’t treat me like a three-year-old child.” Luo Qi’s expression became calmer, and he said, “If I didn’t have that young lady behind me, I probably wouldn’t be able to sit here peacefully. What opportunities and friendships would I talk about… You know, I have always admired Young Master Wen’s little tricks to discipline people…”
"Oh, now that you know my methods, you still dare to come and cause trouble? Mr. Luo, it seems that you are not as smart as you think..."
Luo Qi leaned back on the sofa, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, saying: "We are all the same. If Young Master Wen was as smart as you think you are, you wouldn't be sitting here killing time with me..."
"What do you mean?"
"Let's be frank. Do you think it's hard to get over your anger if you let me go? But if you do, you're afraid of offending that young lady? Mr. Wen, listen to my advice. It's best to pretend you know nothing. Otherwise, I'm afraid you can't afford it..."
Wen Liang teased, "Don't forget, Miss Yan and I are quite close friends..."
This sentence hit Luo Qi's sore spot again. His face was terribly gloomy. After a while, he finally said the question that was almost torturing him crazy. He said, "Let's try and see who has more weight in her heart!"
Wen Liang laughed loudly, turned to look at An Baoqing, and said, "See? It is important for people to know themselves. If they don't even know their own importance, it would be a miracle for them to survive in this society!"
An Baoqing shook his head, and the last bit of his fantasy about Luo Qi was shattered. He could do nothing about it as it was his own fault.
Luo Qi did not back down. He clapped his hands and responded sharply, saying, "What a coincidence. This is also what I want to say to Master Wen. People should know themselves!"
At this moment, the phone rang. Wen Liang stood up and walked aside. A few minutes later, he came over and said with a smile, "Although I'm not interested in competing with you in such a stupid game, I guess you must want to know the answer. You don't have to wait too long. Yan Huangyan's plane just landed at Qingzhou Airport and is driving here..."
Luo Qi's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light, and he stood up excitedly, pacing back and forth for a few steps, and said: "I knew it, I knew she wouldn't give up on me. She must have gotten the news and sent people to rescue me in a hurry, that must be it!"
From Luo Qi's perspective, this was a definite answer, and there was no other possibility. As Yan Qixiu's most important counselor and assistant, Yan Huangyan would never leave her side easily unless there was an emergency.
And in Qingzhou at that moment, what could be more urgent than the danger he was in
An Baoqing was shocked by his words. If the other party really came to ask for punishment, how should he deal with it? Just as Luo Qi said, it was neither hard nor soft. It was tricky, really tricky.
However, Wen Liang's composure made him feel a little relieved. Long-term experience has already proved one thing: as long as Wen Liang's figure remains strong, there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved.
In the next half hour, the three people in the room were in three completely different states. Luo Qi looked at the watch from time to time, An Baoqing remained silent, but Wen Liang closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.
“Boom boom!”
Shitou knocked on the door, and a man poked his head in, smiling innocently, "According to the boss's instructions, I brought the man up and he's waiting at the entrance of the corridor."
The security on the top floor of the Great World is tight. There is another security door at the entrance to the corridor, which is guarded by special personnel 24 hours a day. Except for a few people, no one is allowed to enter.
Luo Qie walked out anxiously, "Why don't you invite someone in?"
Shi Tou ignored him and just looked at An Baoqing. To him, only one person's order was an order. Even Wen Liang's words were useless, let alone the former general manager of Great World who had become a prisoner.
An Baoqing glanced at Wen Liang, who stood up and said with a smile, "Our distinguished guest is here, it would be bad to neglect him, let's go and greet him."
Logically speaking, Yan Huangyan represents Yan Qixiu, so it is only natural for Wen Liang to go downstairs to meet her. However, before Luo Qi's matter gets a reasonable explanation, giving them a little bit of a cold shoulder is also a way to show his attitude.
You know, Uncle Wen has never been an easy person to talk to!
Yan Huangyan was just as bright and radiant as when Wen Liang saw her last time, with a faint smile in her eyes. She did not seem to mind Wen Liang's late arrival at all, and said, "Young Master Wen, we came so suddenly, I hope we didn't disturb you..."
Yan Xuanjue, who was standing behind her, was not so polite. He snorted coldly, "I thought you were lame, but it turns out you can walk."
Wen Liang certainly remembered the tough woman who broke one of Shi Ruyang's fingers with one foot, but he didn't even look at her. He leaned slightly, stretched out his hand to lead the way, and said, "Miss Yan, you have come a long way and you have worked hard on the way. Please come this way."
Yan Huangyan nodded and smiled, "Young Master Wen, please go first."
Luo Qi opened his mouth, but saw that Yan Huangyan was also ignoring him. Feeling both uneasy and embarrassed, he had to keep silent for the time being and followed the two men inside.
An Baoqing glanced at the lonely Yan Xuanjue, walked over and said with an apologetic smile: "Miss, please come in as well. I apologize for our poor hospitality."
Yan Xuanju stared at Wen Liang's back, his eyes almost spitting fire, and stamped his feet in hatred, saying: "Sooner or later, sooner or later..."
Lord An Bao did not hear what was said next, but he could only marvel at Wen Liang's talent for attracting hatred. To be able to make that young lady so popular, at least his courage must be unmatched!
Entering the room that was still in a mess with debris all over the floor, Yan Huangyan immediately understood how narrow-minded Wen Liang was and how much resentment he had. Whether it was the fact that he had just been stranded outside the door or the devastation at the moment, it was all done for her to see. However, this kind of affectation not only did not arouse other people's disgust, but instead was more like catching a friend's child being naughty, and then complaining to the friend without making a sound. The measure was just right.
Yan Huangyan was nicknamed Little Zhuge by a group of sisters. She was naturally smart and decisive. She immediately decided that she could no longer follow the steps set by Wen Liang. Although the purpose of her visit was to explain unnecessary misunderstandings, she could not lose face for her boss.
Qingzhou is his home ground, and this guy is cunning and difficult to deal with, so he has to turn the passive situation into active one!
"Master Wen, is there a quiet room? I want to talk to you alone!"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "How about this, Miss Yan probably hasn't had dinner yet, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some wine and food, and we can eat and chat... Of course, it's just the two of us, so some people who are not presentable should not come with us."
Yan Xuanjue heard Wen Liang's last words as soon as he entered the room. He walked up to him, glared at him, and said, "Who are you saying is not presentable?"
Wen Liang didn't even glance at her from the corner of his eyes, and whispered to Yan Huangyan with a smile: "I have a private room on the second floor, let's go there. Ha, if you are not a friend, you can't enjoy this kind of treatment."
"Thank you, Master Wen, for your kindness. Huang Yan is deeply honored." Yan Huang Yan turned his head and smiled at An Baoqing, saying, "I'll have to trouble Boss An to take care of my sister. She has a bad temper, so please bear with her!"
An Baoqing didn't expect Yan Huangyan to recognize him, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Of course, of course!"
Being ignored again, Luo Qi finally couldn't help it and said, "Boss Yan, I..."
Yan Huangyan holds the positions of president of several listed companies, so it is not wrong to call her that. She did not even turn her head and followed Wen Liang downstairs.
Luo Qi's face suddenly turned pale, terribly pale! (To be continued)
