When he went out with Young Master Yu Chen in private, if other people in the company saw this, they would definitely gossip.
Thus, he would not easily agree.
"Hur hur, I still need to rest for a while no matter how much work I do. If I get tired, my body won't be able to make up for the loss, right?" Yu Chen chuckled, "Then I'll decide on a spot and wait for you …"
With that, he hung up the phone without waiting for the head of the design department to agree.
"Young Master Yu Chen …"
The design minister wanted to refuse, but there was already a busy tone coming from the phone.
His face darkened. It seemed like Young Master Yu Chen had steeled his heart.
Since that was the case, he could only grit his teeth and go. He couldn't just deny face to Young Master Yu Chen, right? Otherwise, how could they get along in the same department in the future?
Slightly sighing, he was truly frustrated in his heart.
Actually, from the moment Young Master Yu Chen entered the design department, he already knew that this was a war between Young Master Yu Chen and Chief Quan.
If he wanted to survive, he should have run as far away as possible.
He originally wanted to stand aside and not help, but now, it seemed impossible. Young Master Yu Chen must drag him in …
After tidying up a bit, he hurriedly left the company and took a taxi to the restaurant that Young Master Yu Chen had sent over …
This was a private restaurant by the sea. The owner of the restaurant was a young couple.
Perhaps it was because he liked this kind of life that he had set up a restaurant by the sea. Although there weren't many guests, there was a romantic and free atmosphere.
The style of the restaurant was also extremely elegant. There were some decorations made from shells hanging on the clean and simple walls. There were also some pictures that he had shot himself. It had a simple yet happy style to it.
Due to the rain, Yu Chen was the only customer.
He found a seat by the window and sat down, looking out at the drizzling rain and the sea.
Dark clouds pushed the sea lower, giving it an apocalyptic feeling.
If it really was the end of the world, that would be great.
Everything would die out, so he would no longer have to suffer for what he had to choose.
As he was lost in his thoughts, the door to the dining hall was pushed open.
The head of the design department put away the umbrella and slowly walked towards him.
"Why is Young Master Yu Chen interested in coming here to eat?" He sat opposite his and asked awkwardly.
"Hehe, I just came to the seaside occasionally to relax and suddenly found this place. I think it's not bad. "But isn't it strange for me to eat by myself …"
Yu Chen smiled. His smile was originally as warm as the sun, but now it looked like it had been soaked by the drizzle outside. It had become much colder.
"It's my honor to be able to accompany Young Master Yu Chen for a meal … However, Young Master Yu Chen probably has many friends at the same age, right? It's better than having a common topic of conversation with a bad old man like me. " The design department's head said again.
"What is the Minister saying? Aren't we working together now on a more common topic?" "Let's order first. I heard that the seafood noodles here are pretty good …"
Yu Chen said as he handed the menu over.
In the end, the two of them ordered seafood noodles and two more salads before they did something.
Yu Chen even intentionally avoided a bottle of red wine, saying that it was the most suitable time to drink during these rainy days.
The head of the design department naturally did not refuse and the two of them silently toasted each other.
He felt awkward eating this meal.
Yu Chen just looked out the window in a daze. Rain splashed onto the ground under the eaves, causing tiny splashes.
However, the vast sea not too far away was still calm and serene, there wasn't any change at all due to this tiny raindrop.
His heart was heavy with an indescribable feeling.
The design department's chief was preoccupied, so he did not dare to speak first.
He had been trying to figure out how to refuse.
The two of them had their own thoughts and different expressions.
There was something different about the window.
It was drizzling. It seemed like there was no limit to the rain …
"Minister, how long have you been working for the company?"
Yu Chen asked leisurely while gently shaking the red light in his cup.
The design department's head tensed up and thought to himself, Here it comes!
"It has been more than ten years …" I came from the second step of taking over the company. "I never expected time to pass so quickly …"
The design department's director said meaningfully. He had purposely brought up the matter of authority, so that Young Master Yu Chen would understand.
The reason why he was able to reach his current position as minister was all thanks to the backing of the overall authority. Thus, he would not disappoint the Chief Executive.
Yu Chen didn't seem to care about his words. He continued to look out the window with a profound expression, like an old friend sighing, "Yeah, time flies really quickly …"
It had already been seven years since he parted with Mo Mo Mo.
If he had been a little more stubborn and stayed by Mo Mo Mo's side, would everything have been different now?
The design department's director did not know what Yu Chen was thinking about. He just watched as his expression darkened, while his gaze turned more and more sorrowful.
He couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Yu Chen, are you alright? "You don't look too good …"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered something from the past …" Yu Chen smiled brightly, "It's fine if you don't want to think about the past. People should still look forward, right?"
"Yeah, Young Master Yu Chen is right." The Head of the Design Department said in embarrassment.
"I wonder if the Minister is interested in doing something else?" Yu Chen suddenly asked.
"Anything else?" The design department's head was a bit confused, but his gaze was still averted. He was afraid that Young Master Yu Chen would say something like that, because he had yet to think of a reply, so he could avoid offending him on both sides.
Looking at his uncomfortable expression, Yu Chen understood and said indifferently, "Yeah, my second uncle's management of the company is too cold. I've been thinking, if we start to change, would it be better to work in a more comfortable and free way? Just like a friend or family member working together, wouldn't that be more comfortable? Even if it's boring work, we can have a more meaningful life … "
"I don't quite understand what Young Master Yu Chen is saying …" The design department's minister said.
Yu Chen thought about it for a moment, then patiently explained, "It's starting from our design department. We have to make some changes to the rules and no longer stick to the working relationship we had between a superior and a subordinate … but became like a group of like-minded friends gathered together to do something interesting. "
"Hehe, Young Master Yu Chen is indeed young." "Hehe, Young Master Yu Chen is indeed young. However, there were still a lot of old-fashioned people in the company. They probably wouldn't get used to it this way. "Besides, if it wasn't for the relationship between a superior and his subordinates, I'm afraid some jobs wouldn't be as clear as they are now …"
The Head of the Design Department said, glancing at him hesitantly, but he persisted and said, "Furthermore, the rules now are all set by the Chief Executive. Everyone has been following them for so many years, so the efficiency is also very high. "It might not be better than now …"
Hearing that, Yu Chen understood.
The design department's minister was constantly bringing up the issue of authority, which clearly showed that he was determined to follow his second uncle.
If that's the case, then forget it.
Some things don't need to be said so clearly, but it's not good to lose decorum.
Thinking of this, he smiled, "The Minister is right. After all these years, the company has been thriving under the leadership of second uncle. If something were to suddenly happen, I'm afraid that everyone would not be used to it."
When he heard what Yu Chen said, the design department's director smiled in embarrassment and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
However, he still felt uneasy. After all, he had made his stand clear.
Then, would Young Master Yu Chen do anything to him?
However, if he was on Yu Chen's side, he wouldn't be able to do so. After all, he had experienced a lot of bitterness when he was able to step up to the position of minister from an obscure employee.
It was also because Quan Zouhua had seen those hardships that he was able to confirm his talent and pull him up.
Thus, he could not be so heartless.
Most importantly, he had seen clearly the fate of Old Gao and the others who had betrayed Chief Quan a few days ago. If he betrayed the Chief Executive, only death awaited him.
Naturally, he wasn't stupid enough to take that dead end …
The rain continued to fall outside the window, but the two people in the restaurant no longer had anything to talk about …
However, the haze would not disperse.
The old mansion of the Quan family.
Perhaps it was because the noise from the morning was too loud, but it was too quiet now.
When it was time for dinner, Quan Yueli did not come back.
Wu Yujie and Hu Die were the only two people in the restaurant.
When the servant came to report that the little miss refused to eat, Wu Yujie did not say anything. Since the morning when Yue Er and Yu Han spoke up for their mother, Wu Yujie no longer wanted to acknowledge her grandson and granddaughter.
"Aunty, please eat more. Your body is too weak …" Hu Die knew that this was the best time for her to flatter Wu Yujie, so she took the initiative to grab the servant's job and helped Wu Yujie get a bowl of soup.
Wu Yujie smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect that it would be you who understood me so well. Sigh..."
"Aunty, I have always understood that you are doing this for the good of this family. But in their eyes, I don't see your sacrifice at all. You're working too hard, and you're feeling too wronged … Sometimes, I feel sorry for you. You said that you had done everything for this family, but what happened in the end? "I shouldn't have said anything. Uncle really does let you down …"
"Miss Dia'Er, my dad is still not cold yet. If you speak ill of him here, aren't you afraid that my dad will come back to take revenge on you in the middle of the night?"
When Quan Huan dragged Yue'er out of the room, he happened to hear Hu Die talk about his father, so he scolded her with a darkened face.
Hu Die's expression changed, "Third Young Master, that's not what I meant." I was just feeling sorry for my aunt... Don't you think that the distribution of the inheritance is unfair? "You are the one …"
"Miss Dia'er!" Quan Huan glared at her and said coldly, "I never felt that it was unfair. The property of the Quan family belongs to my father, he can give it to whoever he wants. When did it become your turn to talk nonsense? "
He was just being honest with himself and did not like this woman. However, she had always been obstructing his second son's momentum, pretending to be weak.
