Kenneth asked Qin Hanqiu with his lousy Chinese while waving his hand, “Big brother, are we done?”

Qin Hanqiu gave him a look in reply and both shared an unspoken mutual understanding.

Kenneth and Chang Ning then nodded. Both of them greeted Father He.

Chang Ning still looked like an elegant gentleman, but Kenneth looked like a thug. That was the reason why Cheng Wenru didn’t dare to attend to him.

This was especially after witnessing Kenneth speaking on equal grounds with Cheng Juan and Qin Ran.

Father He didn’t dare to look at Kenneth. When he sent the few of them out, he remained stiff and silent because he didn’t dare to say anything.

“Do let me know the guest list as fast as possible.” Butler Qin and Qin Hanqiu asked Father He again when they got in the car.

Father He responded stiffly, “Alright.”

He had a strange look on his face, and it caught Qin Hanqiu’s attention, but he didn’t want to ask much as he was focused on settling his guest list.

Grandma He was getting on in age. She didn’t realize what was going on, and she even tried to ask everyone to stay for dinner.

However, everyone was busy, especially Qin Ran, as she had to work on the Research Inst.i.tute and the Inspection Inst.i.tute. Hence, she couldn’t stay.

Grandma was upset when she bade everyone farewell at the door.

It was only after they left that Grandma He noticed the crowd looking at her.

“Do come over for the wedding banquet next month!” Grandma He announced happily.

Those in the community who were familiar with her responded cautiously, looking at her in a different light.

Grandma He didn’t notice the change in the neighbors’ att.i.tudes and asked Father He about it. However, he kept silent and walked back to the living room. Then, he looked at He Chen and Qin Xiuchen.

He had only seen Qin Xiuchen on television. It felt surreal to see him in person, especially after knowing he was going to marry He Chen.

Since Qin Xiuchen stayed, Mother He was planning to cook for everyone. Hence, Qin Xiuchen went to help her.

He even asked Qin Hanqiu to teach him for this occasion so he could help Mother He a little.

It was only when he left for the kitchen that Father He sat next to He Chen. She was still in her home clothes and lying on the sofa, holding onto a can of beer and texting someone.

“How did you know the Qin family? Also, I saw that your friend was even armed…” Father He said after thinking for a while.

What he wanted to ask was how that friend dared to come armed in Cheng Juan’s presence.

He Chen then replied, “It was a toy gun.”

Father He was speechless.

Does she think that I’m an idiot?

He then realized that He Chen didn’t want to talk to him and walked away.

It was already 5:30 pm when He Jinxin reached home. She rushed over from the capital the moment she got off work, but He Chen and Qin Xiuchen had already left.

“Dad, what happened? Why did you ask me to return so urgently? We’re very busy at the Inspection Inst.i.tute. The first hospital was on lockdown and I couldn’t leave right away,” Yu Xuan said. He came over with He Jinxin.

Mother He had called in the afternoon, but Butler Qin and the others confirmed the date in the heat of the moment. However, she didn’t want to disturb He Jinxin and asked her not to return.

However, He Jinxin wanted to ask something, so she immediately came over when she got off work.

“It’s nothing. Your sister is going to get married. It will be on the 10th of the following month,” Father He replied. Initially, he wanted He Jinxin to return to settle all of it.

But he never expected that everything was settled so quickly with Qin Hanqiu. It was even confirmed so quickly on the 10th of the next month.

He Jinxin dropped the cup in shock and exclaimed, “How could you agree to everything so quickly? You didn’t tell us anything about the guy. Who he is and what’s his family like?”

Angry, she continued, “I held back even though you never liked He Chen. But have you forgotten what happened with Qu Zixiao?”

“No.” Father He denied. “But, I couldn’t refuse.”

Before He Jinxin could rebuke, Father He continued, “The person is Qin Xiuchen. The guy from the Cheng family and the Eldest Lady from the Qin family were here today. One of her friends was even armed. Jinxin, you’re close to your sister, so do talk to her tonight.”

He Jinxin fell silent after hearing that.

No wonder he couldn’t refuse.

“Were they from 129?” Yu Xuan asked as he had been to 129 before. “Was there a Mr. Chang today?”

“Yes.”

Yu Xuan nodded. Somehow, he was the calmest person. “That’s the boss of 129. I’m not sure about the rest, but it was because of the Qin family that Jinxin was released previously.”

Yu Xuan sighed.

Father He didn’t know much about the situation in the capital. But after what had happened with Jinxin, he knew about 129. When he heard what Yu Xuan said, he exclaimed uncontrollably, “How-how did she know these people?”

The people Father He kept in contact with and his existing social circle were far from those people. Even He Chen also had that distance from them.

He Jinxin and Yu Xuan didn’t respond as they weren’t sure of everything as well.

“Let’s confirm the guests, then.” He Jinxin suggested.

Father He looked at her and suddenly remembered something. “Are we inviting the Qu family?”

Madam Qu really liked He Chen and treated her like her own daughter. He Chen would even visit her during the festive periods.

But regarding Qu Zixiao…

Father He wanted to get back at him.

“We must invite them,” Yu Xuan said calmly.

Father He then added them to the list. He then looked at Yu Xuan and asked, “Let’s invite the in-laws as well.”

The He family knew that Yu Xuan had both a stepmom and stepdad.

He Jinxin sat at the side and looked at the two men as they discussed the guest list. Suddenly, she felt that both of them were too vicious…

Everyone would know about it if the Qin family prepared a wedding.

…

Pan Mingyue was going to take a ride from Qin Ran.

Lu Zhaoying was silent today. Pan Mingyue wanted to ask if he was okay but refrained. She then carried her equipment and headed back to Beijing University’s dormitory.

“I’ve submitted Section Chief Jiang’s resume, and I’ll announce to everyone that he will be replacing Deputy Liu tomorrow. As for you…” Qin Ran took a look at her and continued, “You might be able to take on the role of team leader. We’ll have to wait for the Inspection Inst.i.tute to arrange that.”

Qin Ran didn’t need to interfere in it as Pan Mingyue was a capable person. She wasn’t worried because Pan Mingyue clinched this position herself.

“Does that mean that I can go to work tomorrow?” Pan Mingyue asked as she lowered her equipment and didn’t think about the matter regarding Lu Zhaoying.

“Yup, Section Chief Jiang should have been informed,” Qin Ran replied smilingly.

Pan Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t want to bother anyone.

Qin Ran didn’t pay much attention to her and Lu Zhaoying. However, when Pan Mingyue got out of the car, Cheng Juan stared at her.

…

Pan Mingyue went to the Inspection Inst.i.tute in the morning of the second day.

The Inspection Inst.i.tute was on lockdown for the past two days. As Qin Ran and the base were involved, the employees never knew what happened.

However, Deputy Liu, Section Chief Jiang, and Old Chen were gone. The employees had thought that they would never see Pan Mingyue and the rest of the gang again.

But who would have thought that there would be an emergency meeting in the morning on the 18th floor?

The person hosting the meeting was Feng Loucheng.

Everyone on the 18th floor was nervous when they saw him for the first time.

“We shouldn’t be concerned with what happened to Section Chief Jiang, right?” someone who knew Fan Tongya asked her.

Fan Tongya answered calmly, “Don’t worry, we weren’t involved at all.”

The others breathed a sigh of relief. When they entered the meeting room, they saw that Section Chief Jiang, Pan Mingyue, and Sister Liu were already there.

Feng Loucheng then announced the news after everyone had arrived.

Section Chief Jiang was going to be a director. Sister Liu was going to be promoted to section chief. Pan Mingyue was going to be the team leader. While Luo Qian was promoted to be an a.s.sistant team leader.

Such explosive news—

Everyone involved in the incident was promoted!
