Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1168: Chapter 1148: Luo Qianqian’s Return (13)

”From today onwards, Haoran Group is a subsidiary of Huaxia. All employees of the original company are dismissed.” Tang Tianyi looked coldly at the people present. ”Those interested can choose to reapply tomorrow, but for now, all employees of Haoran are dismissed.”

Someone was about to speak when Bai Yizhu swept his gaze over directly.

Two drops of cold sweat slid down the person’s forehead, and the words he wanted to say were swallowed back.

Tang Tianyi finished notifying everyone, then directly made a phone call. The people from Heavenly Shield watched as the employees on each floor packed up their belongings, not allowed to take anything that wasn’t theirs as they left the building.

In three hours, the entire building was devoid of outsiders.

Tang Tianyi sat in his chair, playing with the USB drive in his hand, shaking his head speechlessly: ”There are so many people with ulterior motives?”

Apart from Luo Xihan, there were a total of seven people in senior management. Four of them had exhibited behavior of betraying Haoran to varying degrees, while the remaining three included one from Tianyi sent by Luo Qianqian, one old employee who had been with him, and one who had been with the company for just over a year, hired as an outstanding returnee but not privy to too many of the company’s affairs.

Luo Xihan also sighed softly. If Tang Tianyi hadn’t personally watched the leadership pack up one by one, they wouldn’t have discovered these issues.

The pearls in Tang Tianyi’s hand were found from some people’s possessions. Once in hand, it felt cool and refreshing, invigorating the mind.

”It’s just powder from the Spirit of Jade.” Tang Tianyi crushed the pearl in his hand and felt the texture, looking disdainful. ”This can bribe them? Truly cheap.”

”...” Luo Xihan didn’t want to speak. What is the current price of the Spirit of Jade? Back then, relying on it, how many relationships did he foster?

No, wait, those people who became friends back then also lent a hand when he was down, helping him in various ways, whether through connections or financial assistance, except for one family...

”Tianyi, Li Xiancheng, check on him.”

Because Luo Qianqian originally introduced him as a partner, the cooperation between the two families still leads to substantial benefits in Luo Qianqian’s account, so Luo Xihan had never doubted this person.

After all, in the beginning, Luo Qianqian helped him out, leading him to his current position.

If not for Luo Qianqian, he might not have been able to withstand others agreeing to his idea.

Tang Tianyi was first stunned, then his expression became somewhat strange.

Li Xiancheng? This person...could it be?

However, he agreed. Each suspicion is not without purpose; in the eyes of others, Luo Xihan has already gone from being the president of Haoran to an unemployed middle-aged man.

...

”Mom, come over here, let me take a photo of you.” Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu looked at the excited expressions of five people from two families and smiled at each other.

”Click, click, click...”

The sound of the shutter continuously clicked, although Luo Qianqian didn’t return for An Hao’s birthday, but An Hao extended his arms to call for his sister upon seeing her.

”Shall we go eat roast duck, how about it, little An Hao?” Luo Qianqian didn’t dare hug An Hao, fearing that she might unintentionally hurt him, and could only occasionally tease him from the side.

”Qianqian, don’t waste money.” Lin Xu frowned, ”This trip cost quite a bit, right? You shouldn’t...”

”Uncle Lin, don’t worry. I can afford to take my brother out to play.” Luo Qianqian chuckled while teasing An Hao, ”Isn’t that right, little An Hao?”

”Eat ducky, ducky.” An Hao waved the balloon in his hand, exclaiming happily.

Luo Qianqian smiled, ”Godfather, godmother, don’t be so formal. I feel just like I do with Xiao Yu, so what’s there to be polite about?”

He Wenyu nodded in full agreement, ”Exactly, I take care of An Hao and play with him, but I haven’t asked Qianqian for a salary.”

”You’d ask for a salary...” Huang Yueran looked speechless.

But seeing the two children’s good relationship made them happy too.

”Hehe...”

After the meal, they went back to the hotel. Luo Qianqian didn’t seek out her parents but instead went to find He Wenyu and entered Huang Yueran and He Jun’s room.

”Qianqian.” Huang Yueran looked a bit tense when Luo Qianqian entered the room.

Luo Qianqian frowned slightly, ”Did something happen?”

He Wenyu nodded repeatedly, his face full of strange expressions, ”Why do I feel Uncle Lin keeps talking about money...”

”Not just that, An Hao also seems very resistant to Uncle Lin.” Luo Qianqian said, her eyes carrying a hint of peculiarity.

A child over two years old playing with a balloon is normal, right? Yet somehow Uncle Lin found fault with An Hao’s balloon for costing money?

He even mentioned it wouldn’t look good the next day and wasn’t worth buying?

Luo Qianqian didn’t even use his money!

He Jun and Huang Yueran exchanged glances in silence.

”Mom and Dad, say something!” He Wenyu looked puzzled and stamped his feet anxiously.

After a moment’s silence, Luo Qianqian turned and walked out, ”Forget it, Xiao Yu, let’s go rest, don’t disturb godmother and godfather’s rest, they’ve been tired all day.”

”But...” He Wenyu could sense something definitely happened but didn’t know what, and seeing Luo Qianqian’s expression couldn’t continue questioning, so she left as well.

Back in the adjacent room, He Wenyu had a strange expression, ”Why didn’t you let me ask?”

”Would they tell if you asked?” Luo Qianqian sat on the floor, her expression somewhat solemn, ”Apart from mom and An Hao, something’s a bit off.”

”What can An Hao know? But godmother is just going through the silly three years of pregnancy phase, which is fine.” He Wenyu spoke softly, ”But still uncertain what it is.”

”Is there need to think? Must be something related to money.” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes helplessly and looked toward the window, ”Just don’t know in which regard.”

Even if she knew dad was here, she didn’t want her mom to be unhappy now. Mom is fine like she is; she and her brother have already experienced such life without a dad, and she doesn’t want An Hao to experience that.

Therefore, she hopes it’s not something related to Lin Xu.

Tightly clenching her fists, her breathing became heavier.

He Wenyu sat quietly beside her, then suddenly tilted his head puzzled, ”Wait, when I went back for An Hao’s birthday, it didn’t seem like this, did it?”

Luo Qianqian also looked puzzled; even if something happened at home, it wouldn’t necessarily restrict her.

When has mom ever restricted her from spending money on buying stuff? Even if it’s buying food, why would...?

Something mom doesn’t care about, why would Uncle Lin care?

This clearly suggests something unusual.
