Ruan Danchen looked at the receptionist who immediately shook her head. "No."
Chang Jingqiu's instincts told her that Ruan Danchen was lying to her. However, she had never come to Qi Lin for an interview and had come with Chang Zhiyuan yesterday, so she did not need to register. Hence, she was still in a state of doubt.
After some thought, Chang Jingqiu pulled Ruan Danchen aside and said softly, "Danchen, actually … I want to ask you for a favor."
"What is it?" Ruan Danchen looked at her, her eyelashes fluttering like curtains. She could vaguely guess what Chang Jingqiu was thinking and wanted to laugh.
"It's like this. Do you still remember that we met at Qiao Pin yesterday afternoon?" Chang Jingqiu asked softly, her face blushing.
"I remember," Ruan Danchen said calmly, her lips twitching inwardly. She felt a little stifled.
"I remember telling you that I went with my uncle. My uncle wanted to introduce a boyfriend to me but was afraid that a blind date would put too much pressure on both of us. This way, we could use the opportunity to meet each other. If we like each other, we can get to know each other better. If we don't like each other, it won't be awkward, "Chang Jingqiu said softly, her shy face as beautiful as a flower.
The more Ruan Danchen listened, the more stifled she felt. She did not want to hear from other women how they admired her husband.
However, as soon as this thought came to her, Ruan Danchen's mind went astray.
Her husband …
Her husband …
Her own husband!
What was with this possessive pride?
Ruan Danchen suddenly felt that getting a marriage certificate with Qi Chenglin was not as simple as becoming a legitimate husband and wife with him. She could even use her identity as Qi Chenglin's wife to chase away women like Chang Jingqiu who yearned for him. She could confidently say, "He's my man, my husband, you don't have a chance anymore, please go and like someone else."
She could justifiably protect Qi Chenglin and say, "Thank you for liking my husband."
At that thought, Ruan Danchen suddenly felt a little more stifled. She smiled sweetly and contentedly.
Chang Jingqiu thought that Ruan Danchen was supporting her and was gossiping from a woman's point of view.
Chang Jingqiu couldn't help but feel a bit proud. The corner of her mouth curled up, and she said to Ruan Danchen with some self-satisfaction, "It's just that I didn't have time to tell you yesterday. The man my uncle introduced me to is Qi Chenglin, your general manager."
"So?" Ruan Danchen raised an eyebrow.
Chang Jingqiu did not expect Ruan Danchen to have such a reaction. She felt that her reaction was a little unfriendly.
But because she had a favor to ask, Chang Jingqiu didn't fall out with him. She said affectionately, "So I want to ask you for a favor. Take me in. The front desk is blocking my way, not letting me in. "
Ruan Danchen sized up Chang Jingqiu's face. Chang Jingqiu was a little annoyed by Ruan Danchen's gaze. Ruan Danchen then slowly said, "You came to see the General Manager, and you even asked me to bring you up. Why didn't you contact the General Manager directly?"
Chang Jingqiu's expression didn't look too good. Her smile froze, but she didn't say anything.
Ruan Danchen gave Qi Chenglin a thumbs up in her heart and was very satisfied with his performance.
"Could it be that you took a liking to the General Manager, but the General Manager didn't take a liking to you? You tried to contact him, but he ignored you, right? "Ruan Danchen raised an eyebrow.
Chang Jingqiu almost flew into a rage out of humiliation. She felt that she was being mocked by Ruan Danchen. She stubbornly said, "No, he has a pretty good impression of me. He even wanted to keep in touch with me. I wanted to give him a surprise, so I asked for your help. Are you going to help me with this? "
"That can't be, right?" Ruan Danchen narrowed her eyes. "Our General Manager is already married. How could he have an extramarital affair with you? Don't you have any self-respect? "
Chang Jingqiu almost wanted to slap Ruan Danchen. She managed to restrain herself, but there was no way she could be nice to her.
She let go of Ruan Danchen's arm. Her expression was cold. "How could that be? Ruan Danchen, do you not like me? I've found the wrong person. You're just jealous of me, so you don't want to help me! "
Ruan Danchen nearly burst out laughing. "What are you thinking? Our General Manager is really married. He wasn't at the office this morning. He must have taken the day off to get his marriage certificate. You can ask him if you don't believe me."
Ruan Danchen dragged Chang Jingqiu to the front desk. She smiled at the receptionist and asked, "Tell Miss Chang, is Qi Chenglin married?"
Ruan Danchen could not be bothered to use the title of General Manager. She did not intend to hide her identity from Chang Jingqiu anyway.
She was clearly the legal wife. What was the point of hiding it?
Chang Jingqiu was so angry that she could not care less about Ruan Danchen's change in how she addressed her. The receptionist nodded her head. "Yes, the General Manager went to get his marriage certificate this morning. Everyone in the company knows about it. His wife even sent him a WeChat message."
"That's impossible. How could I not know if he's married? He only said yesterday that he has a fiancée! "Chang Jingqiu said anxiously.
Ruan Danchen was displeased. "Why are you chasing after him when he already has a fiancée? Are you trying to be a mistress?"
"Ruan Danchen, how can you say that?" Chang Jingqiu flew into a rage. "As long as he's not married, I have the right to fight for him. How can you call me a mistress?"
"But he's married." Ruan Danchen pointed at herself. "It's me. Didn't I just post it on my WeChat Moments this morning? You even congratulated me. "
"Ruan Danchen, this kind of joke isn't funny. How dare you make a joke out of your general manager? How can you be so bold? I know that Young Master Lin is outstanding and all the female employees in your company have Cinderella dreams, but you've gone too far. " Chang Jingqiu's face turned cold. She was very unhappy. It was as if her man was being imitated. "Moreover, you're doing this in front of your colleagues. Don't you have any shame?"
Ruan Danchen looked at Chang Jingqiu strangely. Was this person alright? How could she be so presumptuous?
"Qi Chenglin is really my husband." Ruan Danchen felt a little helpless.
It was the truth, but she refused to believe it.
Chang Jingqiu was getting impatient. She pointed at Ruan Danchen's nose. "Ruan Danchen, what's wrong with you? How come you've become so shameless after so many years? Don't you know what you're made of? Even if you're dreaming, you don't have the right to be with Young Master Lin when you're raising a child. What kind of dream are you? "
"…" Ruan Danchen was speechless. Did she have to call Qi Chenglin for an explanation over such a trivial matter?
"That child belongs to me and Chenglin." Ruan Danchen felt that she had a good temper.
She was obviously telling the truth, but the other party refused to believe her. It was really a sad feeling.
"You …" Chang Jingqiu felt disgusted by Ruan Danchen. How could she be so shameless!
"What kind of joke is this? Everyone knows that Young Master Lin has a son. He has been with Young Master Lin since he was young. How could he be your son? How old were you then? Don't you know how to lie?"
With Qi Chenglin's status, everyone knew that he would definitely find a daughter from a respectable family. This Ruan Danchen didn't even know to look at herself in the mirror when she was lying!
Ruan Danchen sighed helplessly. "Didn't I say it during the gathering? My son is seven years old. "
Chang Jingqiu said impatiently, "It's just a coincidence."
She looked at Ruan Danchen with disdain. She felt that this woman was so disgusting. She lied in front of her colleagues. Did she think that Qi Chenglin wouldn't hear about it? Was she trying to lie to her heart's content?
The receptionist couldn't stand it anymore. She said gently, "Miss Chang, Miss Ruan is really our General Manager's wife."
"Who do you think you are?" Chang Jingqiu said.
Since the receptionist said so, Chang Jingqiu believed it more or less. She just didn't want to admit it.
Ruan Danchen didn't know what to say. The receptionist wondered if she should call Special Assistant Jiang and tell him about it.
The General Manager's wife had clearly met an unreasonable person.
The receptionist was about to call Jiang Yuan when someone called Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen turned around and saw Song Yu walking over. She said something to Qi Chengzhi, who nodded at Ruan Danchen with a smile and walked to the elevator.
When Song Yu walked up to her, Ruan Danchen asked, "Didn't you go home first? Why are you here again? "
"I was. I was almost home when the manager of the engineering department called me again. He asked me to come over to discuss the residential area in the north of the city, so I came over." Song Yu said and noticed Chang Jingqiu next to her.
Chang Jingqiu didn't look good at first. She saw from afar that Ruan Danchen seemed to have an argument with Chang Jingqiu.
However, when she came over, Chang Jingqiu immediately changed her attitude and was very respectful to her.
Chang Jingqiu knew Song Yu. Even if she didn't know her, she knew that she was Qi Chengzhi's wife. Especially when Song Yu came with Qi Chengzhi just now, there was no need to doubt her.
"Your friend?" Song Yu thought that Chang Jingqiu was Ruan Danchen's friend, so she smiled politely.
Chang Jingqiu was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect Ruan Danchen to be so close to Song Yu.
No matter what, Song Yu was her future sister-in-law, so Chang Jingqiu put on her most appropriate and beautiful smile and said, "Mrs. Qi."
Song Yu nodded and looked at Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen curled her lips helplessly and said, "This is my high school classmate, Chang Jingqiu. She came to see Chenglin. She said that her uncle introduced her to Chenglin yesterday and they have a good impression of each other. She came to see him today and asked me to bring her in. She wants to give Chenglin a surprise."
Chang Jingqiu frowned more and more. Ruan Danchen called Qi Chenglin so intimately in front of Song Yu. She already had a bad feeling in her heart.
But because she didn't want to face the truth, she was more willing to believe that Ruan Danchen called Qi Chenglin so intimately because of her good relationship with Song Yu.
Song Yu looked at Chang Jingqiu strangely and said, "They have a good impression of each other?"
Chang Jingqiu blushed slightly. Song Yu saw the girl at the front desk nodding, indicating that Chang Jingqiu did say so.
"How is that possible? Chenglin can't see anyone except you. How can he have a good impression of other women? I doubt that he can remember other women's faces. "Song Yu said to Ruan Danchen in surprise," Didn't you tell her that you're married? "
"I did, but she didn't believe me." Ruan Danchen didn't tell Song Yu about Chang Jingqiu's suspicions.
Chang Jingqiu was probably too ashamed to face anyone now, so she couldn't go too far.
She could only hope that Chang Jingqiu would back off after knowing the truth.
Chang Jingqiu's expression changed. She couldn't care less about Song Yu as she glared at Ruan Danchen. "You … Didn't you say that you have a son?"
"Yeah, I had a son with Qi Chenglin. I also said that we separated due to a misunderstanding, but now we're back together again," Ruan Danchen said calmly. "I'm married to Qi Chenglin, so he has a wife now. I'm very grateful that you like Chenglin. You have good taste. He's an outstanding man, and it's normal for him to attract women's attention. I also know that even though he's married, he still can't stop women from liking him. We didn't deliberately publicize what happened between us, so it's understandable that you didn't know. I'm also very sorry for causing you to misunderstand. "
Chang Jingqiu's face turned green and red. It was as if all eyes were on her from all directions, watching her embarrass herself.
She clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with hatred towards Ruan Danchen. It was all Ruan Danchen's fault that she was so embarrassed now. And Ruan Danchen was still gloating and showing off to her.
She couldn't understand why Ruan Danchen would pretend to be poor if she was with Qi Chenglin!
She forgot that it was all wishful thinking on their part. Qi Chenglin drove a Mercedes to pick her up, and they said that they didn't know where the car came from.
Ruan Danchen brought Qi Youxuan to Sheng Yue for a meal, and she felt that Ruan Danchen's family was so poor that they couldn't even afford a housekeeper.
She was the one who looked down on people first, and said the worst about Ruan Danchen.
"I really didn't know." Chang Jingqiu couldn't apologize no matter what, but she couldn't just leave like that.
She glanced at Ruan Danchen coldly and pursed her lips in disdain. "It seems that you were able to get into Qi Lin because Qi Chenglin went through the back door, right?"
"Yeah." Ruan Danchen nodded and didn't deny it at all. "He was probably afraid that I wouldn't get the interview, so he personally became the examiner to ensure that I would be hired."
Ruan Danchen felt that it was indeed the case, and there was nothing to hide.
The entire Qi Lin probably thought that she got in through the back door. Qi Chenglin was her man, and it wasn't embarrassing for her to have this little privilege.
Ruan Danchen firmly believed that connections were also a part of one's strength. It just so happened that she was lucky that her man was Qi Chenglin. Actually, that was the case, and there was nothing unfair about it. It was Qi Chenglin who helped her, and if she still insisted that she got in on her own, it would be too pretentious.
Chang Jingqiu didn't expect Ruan Danchen to admit it directly. How could she be so thick-skinned!
Chang Jingqiu was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Ruan Danchen anymore. She said "goodbye" coldly and left.
Ruan Danchen and Song Yu didn't mind. They didn't take Chang Jingqiu seriously at all, and their moods weren't affected at all. They chatted and laughed as they left.
The receptionist was left there in admiration. As expected of the president's wife and the general manager's wife, they were so open-minded!
…
Chang Jingqiu wasn't in the mood to report back to the club now, so she drove back to Old Madam Chang's place.
The moment she entered the door, she called out, "Grandma!"
She threw herself into Old Madam Chang's arms and cried pitifully.
"Hey, what's wrong? Who made you feel wronged? Tell grandma, grandma will support you. "Old Madam Chang gently patted Chang Jingqiu's hair and gently coaxed her.
"Grandma, Qi Chenglin is married. He just went to get his marriage certificate this morning," Chang Jingqiu said while crying.
"What? He's getting married, but he didn't tell you clearly? " Old Madam Chang said angrily. She heard that Qi Chenglin was a good person, but she really heard that such things were unreliable.
"Sob sob sob sob, grandma, he did mention that he has a fiancée yesterday, but I'm not sure if he's sincere or just using it to fool me. But I think I really like him. Before I knew him, I heard a lot about him. Ever since I first met him in university, I've admired him from the bottom of my heart. I still remember when I was a freshman, he even came to our department to give a speech. That was the first time I met him, and I already liked him a lot. It's not an exaggeration to say that it was love at first sight, "Chang Jingqiu said while sobbing. Her voice sounded especially pitiful.
"But I was still young back then, and I was afraid that my feelings for him weren't mature enough, and that it was just the admiration of a little girl. At that time, I was also too embarrassed to tell you guys and ask you to introduce us, "Chang Jingqiu said." But I didn't expect that I would remember him so clearly. I can't help but pay attention to the news about him, and I'm especially satisfied when I see his photos in the newspapers and magazines. Unknowingly, I haven't forgotten about him at all, and that kind of love for him is getting deeper and deeper. In fact, he's always in my heart, and I don't like anyone else at all. I'm mature enough to face my feelings seriously, and I know that my feelings for him are serious.
"So even if he has a fiancée, as long as he's not married, should I give up the opportunity? Since I like him, I want to fight for it for myself. But I didn't expect — "Chang Jingqiu raised her head and looked at Old Madam Chang with tears in her eyes." Grandma, because I was a step too late, he got married. Grandma, I regret it so much. "
"Silly child." Old Madam Chang caressed her hair and comforted her. "Why didn't you say it back then? What do we do now? Since he's already married, there's nothing we can do. "
Old Madam Chang sighed, and her heart ached for this granddaughter of hers. Since young, other than being given generous conditions, she had not been given anything else. She did not even enter the Chang family's company.
This was something that Chang Jingqiu had given up on herself, and Old Madam Chang naturally knew why. She had tacitly agreed and did not support her entering the company.
On this point, Old Madam Chang felt that she owed Chang Jingqiu a lot, and was thinking of ways to make it up to her in other ways.
"Child, let's not miss him anymore. There are many good men, and there are many who are more outstanding than him. There are so many outstanding men in the eight big families, and Yan Beicheng and Han Zhuoli are not worse than him. Our Chang family is also comparable to the eight big families, and Grandma will introduce you to someone better. This time, we can't let him go, "Old Madam Chang said gently.
"Grandma, I know this, but I still feel bad. If Qi Chenglin's wife was outstanding enough and could match him, then it would be fine. But his wife is not a good person at all. "Chang Jingqiu gritted her teeth.
"What do you mean, you've met her?" Old Madam Chang asked in surprise.
Chang Jingqiu sat up straight, wiped her tears, and said, "She's my high school classmate, Ruan Danchen. Not to mention a rich family, she can't even compare to a normal, innocent family. Her mother is Liu Ronghua, and you know her grandmother, right? She's the one who has been a concubine in the Shen family for seven years without a proper title. "
"How did this Qi Chenglin fall for such a wife? Let's not talk about your classmate's character, just based on her mother, he can't marry such a wife! "When Old Madam Chang heard Liu Ronghua's name, her expression changed again.
Qi Chenglin's wife was not a daughter of a rich family, nor was she the daughter of a humble family, but she was a woman with an unclear identity. She was also unhappy.

Han Zhuoli: "The author hasn't appeared on the forums for half a month, and she's begging for monthly votes. Don't you guys miss her?"
Qi Chenglin: "She's working very hard to get us to act in a small drama, but I heard that the monthly votes haven't increased much recently, and it's not enough to pay us."
Ruan Danchen: "Just acting out of friendship."
Qi Chenglin: "It's very tiring, okay?"
Yan Beicheng: "It's time to raise the pay ~ ~ ~ ~"
Grandpa: "Cough cough, give us some monthly votes that are rising rapidly, my dears ~ ~ _ (: з 」 ∠) _ ~"
