Chapter 1449 Opening Ceremony 4

Qi Lei sighed while he rubbed his heavy head, and he was about to get up when he sensed something fell from him. He subconsciously turned to look.

A flash of red greeted his sight!

Was that her garment?

He hesitated before picking it up and then staggered to the entrance.

From behind, Yang Sheng was stunned for a while before he reacted and followed after him.

...

The car was engulfed in the cool breeze as it drove underneath the dazzling fireworks amidst the rumbles and the cheers. He watched the large clock on the screen at the plaza count down, and then with a roar, a new year crept in...

Qi Lei watched this scene through the car window, and he sighed to himself. He shut his eyes silently, then quietly made a wish for the New Year. He wished for things to look up in the New Year!

At this moment, Yang Sheng who was driving beside suddenly smiled and wished him, “Master Qi, Happy Chinese New Year! May you have a prosperous one!”

Qi Lei paused, then turned to look at Yang Sheng with a smile and said, “Happy New Year, have a prosperous one!”

“Mmm, I believe that it will be a year of great returns, Master Qi. The dawn of a new victory is right in front of us, and I trust that it will get better.” Yang Sheng’s voice was filled with joy.

“Work well. I won’t treat you all poorly.” Qi Lei smiled back at him.

“Master Qi, you’ve always been generous. Everyone’s really looking forward to this new era that belongs to us. As the days grow nearer, we’re all beginning to feel a little nervous. Quite a few managers have already bought their tickets to be back on the third day of New Year to prepare for the opening ceremony. Everyone’s working very hard, Master Qi. I’m confident that our Tai Yu Corporation will soar high!” Yang Sheng could not help but say passionately as his eyes were filled with hope and anticipation.

“Yeah, work steadily, and you will all achieve your aspirations at Tai Yu Corporation.” Qi Lei’s tone was much calmer now as he continued, “Many things still require careful handling of things, so get everyone to be on high alert and keep their spirits up. If all of this goes smoothly, then we’ll have a much easier path from here on.”

“Don’t worry, Master, we understand. Right, Master Mu and Miss Xiaye are going off to Malta for a holiday tomorrow, so they won’t be back in time for our opening ceremony. Also, Master Mu has invited you to Little Master Mu’s birthday banquet. Do you want to go? I’ve already prepared the gift for you.” Yang Sheng had always been very dedicated to his work.

“Since it’s just their son’s birthday family banquet, I won’t go over. Please just send the gift over on my behalf in the morning.”

Yang Sheng thought about it and could not help but say, “Master Qi, Master Mu was hoping you could show up. Actually, you don’t have to feel like an outsider with them, Master Qi. You should know what it means given the fact that he is personally inviting you to a family dinner. Su Chen and Zhou Zimo will be going too. While Master Mu only invited these few people, it means that he sees you as a good buddy. These relationships need to be cultivated through interactions.”

Qi Lei sighed. With one hand propped on the car window to support his heavy head, he looked out quietly at the streets and fell silent for a bit, then he responded, “Being friends with them is something very much worth being happy about. Since that’s the case, I’ll go then.”

It was only then that Yang Sheng nodded happily. “Master Qi, earlier, CEO Qi called me. He was asking about where you were...”

By the looks of it, while he knew that Qi Lei did not go back to the Qi residence, he did not know whose red windbreaker that was in his boss’s hand. From the looks of that style, there was no doubt that it belonged to a woman.

Despite having questions, Yang Sheng dared not bring them up, so he continued to drive quietly.

...

The first day of Chinese New Year was the Mu family’s Little Master, Mu Xiao Cheng’s birthday.

Early in the morning, the old Mu residence was already lively.

Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye did not plan to have a grand birthday celebration, so it was just a simple family banquet, and they did not invite many people. There were just a few buddies and some people they were close to.

Su Chen and Ji Zitong, as well as Zhou Zimo, went over quite early, and they were very generous. Soon, Mu Zirui and Mu Zicheng’s pockets were filled with red packets.

When Qi Lei rushed over, Mu Yuchen, Su Chen, and Zhou Zimo were drinking tea while sunbathing in the pavilion in the backyard, appearing contented.

As they saw Qi Lei walk over, the buddies immediately waved him over to sit. Zhou Zimo poured him some tea too.

“You live so close by. Why are you so late instead?” Zhou Zimo asked.

Qi Lei reached out to touch his slightly heavy head as he responded, “Don’t mention it. Last night, I drank quite a bit and my head was still heavy when I woke up this morning.”

“How’s the company opening ceremony coming along? I was just asking Ah Chen about it. You’re quite swift. I think I should quit and just trade with you. I’ll have to be back on the work shift the day after tomorrow, so I won’t be having a full-blown celebration of the New Year.”

The nature of Su Chen’s work was as such. It was always when everyone was the most idle that his work would be the busiest. Even though his position was the Deputy Chief of the Traffic Control Bureau, it was the same, and Ji Zitong could not help but grumble a little about it.

“Alright now, don’t complain. You can’t be suffering as much as I am.”

When Su Chen finished, Zhou Zimo rolled his eyes at him.

Upon hearing that, Qi Lei smiled and sipped his tea. He glanced at Zhou Zimo and said seriously, “What are you suffering from? Is your family rushing to set you up for blind dates during the New Year?”

When Qi Lei said that, Zhou Zimo immediately raised his brows and squinted at him. “You can always read my mind. How did you guess that!? Chen, I’m telling you, I want to go over tomorrow too, so please arrange for that.”

“What? No! Does Mother Zhou really want to...?” Su Chen raised his brows and looked amusedly at Zhou Zimo. His face brimmed with a smile that showed how delighted he was over his misfortune, and Zhou Zimo wanted to slap that face of his!

Mu Yuchen, who had been keeping quiet all along, squinted at him. “Do you really want to take refuge with me now? It’s happening sooner or later anyway, so I might as well be frank about it.”

“That’s easier said than done!” Zhou Zimo glared unhappily at the two of them, then he turned to Qi Lei. “What do you think?”

Qi Lei smiled and then shrugged. “I don’t have the same pressure as you. I’m on a solitary path and I do as I please. You’re not the same as me.”

“What’s different? Aren’t we both men!? You’re not that much younger than I am,” Zhou Zimo said.

“We told you to put more thought into this. There’s no need to be so repelled. Ah Chen’s children can call their Father and Mother now.”

Su Chen looked helplessly at Zhou Zimo. Unexpectedly though, this fellow only rolled his eyes at him!
