A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 46 Grievance



Chapter 46 Grievance

As soon as Qiu Mu-Cheng had agreed to take the job, Qiu Mu-Ying started smirking like a cat that had

just eaten a canary.

But the latter was not going to let off Qiu Mu-Cheng that easily. Qiu Mu-Ying continued to smile coldly

and said, "Mu-Cheng, this building approval is a big deal to us. Our company needs it urgently."

"If you keep failing to get it, do you expect the company to keep on waiting?"

"Don't worry. One month. I just need one month to get the approval." After a moment of hesitation, Qiu

Mu-Cheng resolved herself to getting the approval within a month.

"A month?"

"But if we wait a month for the approval, our company would have gone bankrupt by then."

"Mu-Cheng, as you know, our company is facing troubles from within and without. We are in a very

worrying situation. You can afford to wait, but we can't."

“Then what do you want?” Qiu Mu-Cheng asked frostily.

Qiu Mu-Ying smiled coldly and ignored the question. Then she turned to Master Qiu and said,

"Grandfather, I suggest we give Qiu Mu-Cheng seven days to complete her task. If she can't get the

approval by the deadline, then she has to leave the company. We have no need for useless people like

her."

"You-"

"Qiu Mu-Ying, don't push your luck. Uncle Guang has been trying for a year without success. What can

I do in just seven days?" Qiu Mu-Cheng retorted angrily.

"What? Didn't you just say you will definitely get the approval? Why are you losing your confidence

now? Well, we will not make things difficult for you, if you fail to get it. You can just leave our family. We

don't need useless people in our family." Qiu Mu-Ying folded her arms and sneered at her cousin.

Just then, Master Qiu joined the conversation. "Mu-Ying is right. Our company is facing troubles from

within and without. We cannot afford to wait for you to finish dawdling around. We will give you seven

days. And then we will hold a family meeting. We will be waiting for you. If you fail to get the approval,

then there will be no need for you to return here."

"We have given enough to your family. It is time for you to repay the favor."

Master Qiu had spoken and his words were final. No matter how troubled Qiu Mu-Cheng felt, she could NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

only suffer alone.

Ye Fan took all that in and felt a stab of pain in his heart.

Since the Qiu family was unbenevolent toward his wife, Ye Fan decided that it was time to find another

place of belonging for her.

A seed sprouted within him.

"Haha~"

Qiu Mu-Cheng, look forward to getting kicked out of our family.

Qiu Mu-Ying laughed smugly, with a cold gleam in her eyes.

"Mu-Cheng, do you need my help?" After they had left the Qiu's family house, Ye Fan took a look at his

blotchy-eyed wife and offered his assistance.

"I don't need any help."

"I can do this alone."

"I will succeed!"

"Everyone who has looked down on me will shut their mouths!"

Just then, Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes gleamed with a confident light, and her voice rang with unyielding

stubbornness.

Afterward, she returned to her office to start working on a plan to get the building approval.

And Ye Fan was left staring at his wife's resolute and mesmerizing back. After a long moment, an

enigmatic smile appeared on his lips.

My wife looks really beautiful when she is serious.

Over the next few days, Qiu Mu-Cheng left the house early in the morning and only returned late at

night. During the day, she kept watch over the entrance to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. With

just an umbrella to provide shade, she waited for the person-in-charge, Director Li. At night, she did

research on the internet to look up his interests.

Since she needed him to do her a favor, she had to cater to his tastes.

Finally, she hit the jackpot. One of Director Li's neighbors told her that he liked to eat Yellow River carp.

After obtaining the information, Qiu Mu-Cheng personally made a trip to the Yellow River to purchase

some carps. Afterward, she continued to wait outside the Bureau.

Seven days later. The Qiu's family house.

"What time is it now? Why is Qiu Mu-Cheng not here yet?" According to their agreement, Qiu Mu-

Cheng was supposed to have obtained the building approval by today.

But even though evening was approaching, Qiu Mu-Cheng was still nowhere to be seen.

"Hehe~"

"I guess she didn't get the building approval after all. And she is not here because she is afraid of

getting punished by grandfather?" Qiu Mu-Ying laughed mockingly.

Master Qiu looked outside and let out a sigh. "Mu-Ying, regarding this matter, I am afraid I will have to

trouble you and Wen-Fei again."

It looked like Master Qiu had already given up hope. Like Qiu Mu-Ying, he also did not think that Qiu

Mu-Cheng could get the building approval within seven days.

After all, even an experienced businessman like Qiu Guang had failed to obtain one after trying for a

year. And he did not even get to meet the person-in-charge. A girl without connections and backings,

like Qiu Mu-Cheng, could not hope to get the building approval within seven days.

Qiu Mu-Ying nodded. "Grandfather, don't worry. At the right moment, Wen-Fei and I will lend a hand.

But grandfather, this time, you must not side with Qiu Mu-Cheng again. Like we discussed earlier, if she

doesn't get the building approval, she has to leave our company. Qiushui Logistics has no obligation to

employ useless people.”

Master Qiu nodded in agreement. "Mm. Your cousin is indeed useless. It is a waste of money to keep

her in the company. I will relieve her of all her duties. Mu-Ying, in the meantime, you will take over her

work."

"Haha, grandfather, you have made a wise decision!" Qiu Mu-Ying was so overwhelmed with joy that

she nearly started jumping up and down.

Finally, she was able to destroy Qiu Mu-Cheng, the thorn in her side.

Qiu Mu-Cheng, Qiu Mu-Cheng. Without a source of income, your family will have to go live on the

streets!

Qiu Mu-Ying laughed smugly.

But, at that moment, somebody pushed open the front door to the family house.

Under the setting sun, a beautiful and graceful figure appeared in front of the assembled Qius.

"Grandfather, I am sorry for coming late.”

Qiu Mu-Cheng was panting slightly and her face was marred by a bruise. She had tripped earlier while

she was hurrying to the family house. But not even the pain on her body could mask the joy she was

feeling.

She waved the document in her hand and smiled, "Grandfather, I got it."

What?

"Really?"

"Seven days. You got the approval in just seven days?"

"It's a fake!"

"Did you get a forgery to con grandfather?"

Everyone was shocked, and Qiu Mu-Ying expressed her doubt as she stared with wide opened eyes.

It was already evening.

Han Li and Qiu Lei had left to do some square dancing. The house was empty except for Ye Fan, who

was mopping the floor.

When he heard the clear sound of foot steps drifting in from outside, Ye Fan smiled and hurried to open

the door.

He knew that it was his wife coming home.

"How was it?" "You got the approval, so did grandfather

praise you?"

"Did you get promoted? Did you get a pay raise?"

Ye Fan had seen his wife's efforts over the past few days. So naturally, Ye Fan felt happy for her now

that she had gotten the building approval.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng remained silent and did not respond to Ye Fan's questions. Finally, her eyes turned

red and she started crying.

It turned out that Qiu Mu-Ying had used Qiu Mu-Cheng's negotiation skills as an excuse to give the

latter a new task. And that was to secure a loan from the bank's general manager within three days.

"Our family is facing a crisis because of you."

"Because of you, we are facing a shortage of funds. So you should be the one to handle loan

negotiations with the bank."

"Use your success to cover for your mistake and offset the losses you have

caused us."

"If you manage to secure the loan, then grandfather will reward you. As for getting the building

approval, it was all thanks to my husband. If he had not called Director Li, do you think a weak girl like

you could have gotten the approval?"

That was what Qiu Mu-Ying had said during the family meeting.

"What about grandfather? What did he say?" Ye Fan frowned and asked in a cold voice.

"What could he say? He followed Qiu Mu-Ying's suggestion. Her husband just helped Qiushui Logistics

through a crisis. Grandfather has to respect their opinions."

"But Qiushui Logistics was already facing a shortage of funds several months ago.

So why do I have to take responsibility for that?" 'And Qiushui Logistics is already in a stage

of insolvency. We still owe plenty of loans to the bank, so it is impossible to get new ones."

"That Qiu Mu-Ying. She just wants me to leave the company."

"Forget it. I am not going to fight with her. I am backing out. I will leave the company tomorrow, so they

won't have to see me again."

"I have lost and they have won."

At that moment, all the grievances Qiu Mu-Cheng had been harboring inside her finally exploded.

She choked and then started sobbing, with tears streaming down her face.
