Most of the executives and shareholders who could be counted as senior members of the Zhou Corporation were momentarily unable to accept the news.

Very soon, someone couldn't help but ask, "I wonder why Chairman He would give such an order. Although the Zhou Corporation has a lot of debts, they still have a few businesses that can make a lot of profit."

From the moment Ji Yun had said that he would destroy the Zhou family's business, Zhou Xueqing had been stupefied. Later, when she could not hear what was being said around her, she could not bear to see it disappear when she thought of how her father had built the company from scratch and how he had worked so hard to build it.

Under extreme indignation, he stood up without a care for his status. He loudly said, "I don't agree with the dissolution of the Zhou family."

This sudden sentence stunned all the shareholders and higher-ups who were pleading with Ji Yun and asking them about it. They all looked over, wondering why a director who had just become a director would reject the orders so loudly.

Where did this courage come from?

The only exceptions were the few shareholders who knew of Zhou Xuan Qing's identity.

Ji Yun, who had been worried about not knowing how to reveal his identity to the public, laughed. "Director Zhou, shouldn't you consider your identity first?"

These words were ruthless and seemed to be giving him face.

The shareholders looked at each other.

Facing the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Zhou Xuan Qing couldn't care less. She could not stand the thought of Zhou's disbanding of her firm, so she said what she was thinking aloud, "I'm sorry, General Manager Ji. I know who I am. However, I really can't accept such a company that is slowly growing up, just like that. "

Ji Yun laughed mockingly, "It sounds like Director Zhou has a very deep affection for this Zhou Corporation." After a brief pause, he continued, "But as far as I know, it hasn't even been two months since you joined this company."

How could a staff member who hadn't been in the company for more than two months have any deep feelings for the company?

This was not reliable at all.

Many of the upper echelons began to silently criticize him, feeling that Zhou Xuanqing was too hypocritical. He was actually trying to attract everyone's attention at this time.

The looks of suspicion and suspicion in the eyes of those around him had begun to grow. The already anxious Zhou Xuanqing found it hard to speak.

"Director Zhou, why aren't you saying anything?" Ji Yun would not let go of the opportunity to mock Zhou Xuanqing.

Zhou Xuanqing had no way to defend himself, so he could only straighten his neck and reply, "I have nothing to say, but I will not agree to the disintegration of the Zhou Corporation."

Chen Qijian, the director of the HR Department who had kept his silence the entire time, had a playful smile on his face when he heard Zhou Xuanqing's words. "Director Zhou, you have such a big tone. This courage really makes us, the employees who have worked in the company for many years, ashamed."

When many people heard Chen QIjian's words, they all thought to themselves, "Yes, a little director who just came in and dared to disobey the orders given by the highest authority in the company, how strange."

If he didn't have some sort of plan, he was most likely mentally ill.

Zhou Xuan Qing's hands were clenched tightly, but he still stood upright with his neck erect and back straight.

Seeing Zhou Xuanqing make a fool out of himself in front of so many people, Ji Yun's anger from the past few days had finally dissipated, and a sliver of happiness had appeared in her heart. However, she felt that this was not enough, so she decided to take advantage of this opportunity to kick him out of the company.

Only this way would the other party have no reason or opportunity to get close to He Qingyu.

Ji Yun smiled as she finished her thought. It was as if he was trying to console them, "Alright, I've already explained to everyone the purpose of this temporary meeting. If you have any opinions, you can send a message to Chairman He. I am only responsible for conveying them. "

Saying so, he turned to look at the speechless shareholders and the upper echelons. With a sudden change in tone, he turned to look at Zhou Xueqing, who was still standing. "Since Director Zhou is here, I don't think it's appropriate for us to stay at the company." "This matter will be left to Director Chen."

Finishing her words, Ji Yun stepped on her two inch high heels with a proud expression as she walked out.

It left behind a bunch of angry but helpless upper echelons and shareholders.

Then it slowly dispersed.

Seeing that almost everyone had left the meeting room, Zhou Xuanqing slumped back down onto his seat with a heavy heart.

She didn't know why things had turned out this way. It was obvious that half an hour ago, she was still struggling on the office counter.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that you would arrive so soon."

Just when he was thinking of getting lost and feeling extremely dejected … A mocking laugh suddenly came from above his head. It was extremely unpleasant to hear.

Without even lifting his head, Zhou Xuanqing knew who it was.

This person was Chen Qijian.

He hadn't expected to win the favor of the beautiful manager just now. He had been authorized to personally chase Zhou Xueqing out of the company ever since he had joined the company.

After a moment of mockery, Zhang Xuan saw that Zhou Xuanqing was still seated at his original spot. He neither got up nor had the intention to pay any attention to him. He could not help but be angry, and become more impolite, "Didn't you hear me just now? Director Ji has already asked you to leave. You still shamelessly sit here, don't you feel embarrassed? "

Zhou Xuanqing, who had been in a state of unease, stood up. He stared at Chen Qijian, who was wearing a pair of glasses and looking somewhat wretched, as he raised his chin and grinned.

Seeing that Zhou Xuanqing was still laughing despite his mockery, Chen Qijian moved his glasses in confusion. He was a little taken aback by Zhou Xuanqing's strange reaction. "You …" There's definitely something wrong with your brain. Even though I've already said that, you can still laugh. "

Zhou Xuanqing put his hands on his waist, and the smile on his face became even more radiant. In addition to the determination in his eyes, it was natural for him to give off an imposing aura. As if he was joking, he replied, "If I don't have any problems with my brain, why don't you try it?"

Chen QIjian was somewhat confused as to whether there was anything wrong with his brain or not. He unconsciously took a step back and asked, "Try it, how do I test it?"

With his goal achieved, Zhou Xuanqing blinked adorably and said, "It's simple. Do you know why the Earth can only see the Moon spinning around the Earth on the same side?"

Chen QIjian subconsciously shook his head, thought for a moment and then answered, "Wait, I've learned this topic before when I was in school, let me think."

Zhou Xuanqing didn't give Chen Qisheng a chance to think. He quickly answered, "Because the rotation cycle of the moon is exactly the same as the one of the revolution cycle of the moon."

"Give me the answer and I'll ask you the next question." How far is the moon from Earth? "

Chen QIjian had some impression of this question in his mind, but because of this scene and the fact that the one who had asked was Zhou Xuanqing, he was momentarily stunned and unable to react.

Zhou Xuanqing smiled and quickly answered, "About 380 thousand km."

After giving out the answer, he crossed his arms over his chest just like Chen QIjian did. After laughing at him, he said, "Look, such a simple question, even the current high school students know it. I know you don't, but whose head do you think is wrong? "

The originally arrogant Chen Qijian was rendered speechless. He stared blankly at Zhou Xuanqing, unable to speak a word.

Having recovered his face, Zhou Xueqing did not want to stay any longer. She had to hurry back to He Qingyu to think of a way. No matter what, the Zhou Corporation could not be disbanded. Picking up the information on the seat, he turned around confidently.

Before leaving, he said to Chen Qijian, who was still standing there in a daze, "In the future, do not find fault with others every now and then. If you become too unreasonable, you will be punished."

Hearing this, Chen Qijian felt both embarrassed and annoyed. He raised his hand and slapped his own head, saying, "How come you dropped the chain at such a crucial moment, making your mouth turn stupid!"

After swearing at himself, he glared angrily at Zhou Xuanqing who had already walked out, muttering to himself, "Damn you, Zhou Xuanqing. How dare you mock me in the opposite direction?"

Of course, Zhou Xueqing, who had already left the company in large strides, would not notice any of this.

In her heart, she had never placed a character like Chen QIjian in her heart. The only thing she didn't know how to respond to was Ji Yun, who was very hostile towards her out of jealousy.

She had the power of the Ji Clan, but she had nothing.

Because he couldn't wait any longer, Zhou Xueqing, who had been racing his way back to the villa, did not see He Qingyu.

The reason was because when He Qingyu was discharged from the hospital. His father, who had suddenly returned to his hometown, called him back to the He family courtyard.

He probably wouldn't be able to come to the villa in the near future.

With regards to these matters, it was impossible for Zhou Xuanqing, who was alone and without any connections, to know about them.

After returning to the villa, despite her anxiety, she patiently tied up her hair and made dinner.

It could be said that this was the most diligent meal she had ever cooked in her entire life. Before she started, she specially checked the cooking methods of a few dishes she wanted to cook and then carefully read through them several times to memorize everything that was written down.

Because she had memorized the ingredients and the time, as well as being extremely careful when operating the dish, the food she cooked in the end didn't look too bad.

The wok was very hot. After cooking, he placed the dishes on an exquisite plate and placed them on the table one by one. Then, Zhou Xuan Qing sat down on a chair and waited contentedly.

However, they waited and waited. In the end, all the dishes on the table were cold.

She looked at the turtle soup that was beginning to take shape. She sat there without moving her chopsticks.

The silence was terrible, and there was no sound.

When night fell, the clock had already turned nine o'clock. She knew that He Qingyu would not come back tonight.

He couldn't say what he felt in his heart, but his body was numb from sitting. Therefore, when she stood up and was about to take the completely cold dishes back to the kitchen to dump, she accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.

The plate in his hand naturally dropped as well.

With a clanging sound, it was very ear-piercing, and then it shattered into several pieces.

Zhou Xuan Qing didn't feel any pain from the sudden fall. Staring at the broken plate in a daze, he instinctively wanted to reach out and pick it up.

However, just as his hand was halfway out, he heard a shout.

"Stop!"

The voice was cold and hard, but it sounded familiar. Even though he knew that the person who had arrived was not He Qingyu, Zhou Xuanqing could not help but raise his head in anticipation.

Then, when he clearly saw who it was, his expression became dejected. He stood up silently and went upstairs step by step.

The person who came was Lu Li.

An hour ago, he had received a call from He Qingyu, asking him to come over and see how Zhou Xuanqing was doing.

After receiving the order, he didn't know why, but he quickly drove back as he was still investigating the situation in the Northern District's prison.

Along the way, he drove the car until it was about to fly. As soon as he entered, he saw the scene from earlier.

For some inexplicable reason, he felt vexed, and was glad that he had been able to make it in time.

Seeing that Zhou Xuanqing had gone upstairs without a word, he did not hesitate and quickly cleaned up the floor.
