Chapter 2498 A Setup within a Setup, a Mystery within a Mystery (18)

“What’s the matter, Mingxi? Is everything alright?” Huo Yanyan looked very uncomfortable.

“You knew that a long time ago, no?”

“It’s all in the past. Is it that important right now?” Huo Yanyan couldn’t bear to look him in the eye.

“I thought I understood you but now I realize... Hehehe...” Shen Mingxi seemed to be able to see the world clearer after being beaten up by Su Yu.

“Mingxi, what has gotten into you? Did someone say something to you or is Wei Ying investigating me again?” “Nothing...”

“Oh my god, there’s a wound on your face. Did you get into a fight?” Huo Yanyan went over acting shocked and worried but before she could touch Shen Mingxi, he pushed her away.

Shen Mingxi had lost his bro Su Yu. Not to mention the business interest and opportunities that were lost, he lost someone that he had been close friends with for many years. It had taken him great effort to maintain his relationship with Su Yu and now it all went down the drain. He did not know how much Huo Mian meant to Su Yu.

Su Yu’s mood was still bad after leaving the private club so he went back to his private mansion. He slept through the night and went to work the next morning.

-At the headquarters of the GK Corporation –

Qin Chu noticed that his assistant Yang was not there when he arrived. Usually, Yang was there before him.

“Where’s Yang?” Qin Chu walked over to the secretary department to ask.

“I’m not sure, President Qin.”

Time slowly passed by and it was almost the official time to be in for work but Qin Chu still couldn’t see Yang.

“Get Bella here.” Qin Chu made someone from the secretary department get Bella because he saw it was almost time for the morning meeting.

Bella had been Huo Mian’s assistant so she had sufficient experience as a secretary.

Qin Chu didn’t have time so he picked up the documents and went into the conference room with Bella.

When they finished the meeting at 9:30, Yang was still not in.

Before Qin Chu could ask if Yang came in or not, he heard his phone ring.

He saw that it was from Yang so Qin Chu picked up and directly asked, “Did you oversleep?”

“President Qin, I’m Yang’s wife.”

Qin Chu was slightly shocked and did not continue talking.

“My husband got into a car accident when he was going to work this morning. We’re still at the hospital. Our family is rather shocked so I forgot to call in for him to work. I just remembered this and that’s why I called so late. Sorry, President Qin.”

“Is it serious?” Qin Chu was rather worried when he heard that his assistant had got into a car accident.

“We’re not sure yet. We’re still waiting for the operation to finish. I don’t think he can return to work in a short time though...”

“Okay, I understand.”

After hanging up on the phone, Qin Chu immediately ordered someone from the finance department to send money to Yang’s family to help him with the emergency.

“Bella, you stay and take over Yang’s work for now.”

“I can but I still have a lot of work on my hand. What should I do?”

“Give it to someone else. If we don’t have enough manpower, tell human resources to hire some new people.”

A lot had been going on recently and Qin Chu was anxious and overworked. Qin Ning got into a big fight with her father because of Tang Chuan and now she was not going into work.

Sometimes, his uncle couldn’t handle the workload so he would send a portion off to Qin Chu.

Bella could take over Yang’s work adeptly for the time being, but not everyone could handle the amount of workload Bella was originally dealing with.

Finally, human resources decided to recruit an exceptional assistant for President Qin.

This decision was normally something incredibly small in such a big corporation but when Qin Chu came to work the next day and saw his new female assistant who was supposed to replace Bella, he wasn’t looking well at all anymore.

“Good morning, President Qin,” the girl gave a bright smile when she saw Qin Chu.

You...”
