Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Quite Magical

The woman who entered was none other than Liu Meijun, the new female boss at Dianchuang Culture Company.

Chen Feng could never have dreamed she was Qin Xiaorou’s mother.

Similarly, Liu Meijun could never have dreamed that the person dining with her daughter was Chen Feng, an employee of her own company.

He had just made a deep impression on her two days ago.

"You... know each other?"

Qin Xiaorou was also very surprised at this time. Her mom actually knew the uncle? How could that be possible?

"Chen Feng, how do you know Xiaorou?"

Liu Meijun had thought that the person Xiaorou mentioned she was dining with alone was a teenage boy, and it was just the two of them dining together, which signaled the signs of puppy love. She was, of course, very angry and worried and had hurried over.

But now that she saw it was Chen Feng, with such a big age difference, it couldn’t be anything serious with her daughter. Furthermore, the impression Chen Feng had made on her before was very good, so her anger dissipated. She was just very curious, how did the two of them know each other?

Before Chen Feng could speak, Qin Xiaorou immediately said, "We met online and occasionally play games together. After some time, we got to know each other and added each other on WeChat. This is only the second time we’ve met in person today."

Liu Meijun frowned and said, "You still play games frequently? Didn’t I tell you that you’re about to have your middle school exams and shouldn’t play games?"

Qin Xiaorou pouted slightly and defended, "I haven’t played for a long time. I’m tired of online games."

"Really?" Liu Meijun questioned.

"Of course, it’s true." Qin Xiaorou answered frankly.

She indeed no longer played League of Legends, but would often go to game arcades to play.

"Alright," Liu Meijun nodded and finally turned back to Chen Feng, "This is quite a coincidence, I didn’t expect you to know my daughter. I heard you haven’t been at work these past few days, are you really planning to resign?"

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes. Actually, I planned to resign two years ago, but I had signed a five-year contract with the company at that time, and early termination required a penalty. Now with only two or three months left on the five-year contract, if the company still doesn’t agree, I’ll just have to wait until the contract expires."

Liu Meijun pondered for a moment before saying, "Zhang told me about your situation. You were very competent and the position of manager of the planning department was naturally yours. But after Cao Kun took over, you fell victim to his targeting and suppression. Thanks to your report last time, Yan Jun won’t be able to escape—prison awaits him. Therefore, I intend for you to take the position of planning department manager.

As for Cao Kun, he’s now suspended pending investigation. If solid evidence is found, he too will have to face jail time. Even without criminal evidence, he will be dismissed. Dianchuang has had two consecutive years of negative growth in profits, he cannot escape responsibility. Zhang will assume the position of general manager. And he values you highly. You understand what I’m saying, right?"

Chen Feng was calm, shaking his head, "Thank you, Chairman Liu, for your kindness. But I really don’t plan on continuing."

Liu Meijun’s frown deepened, and before she could speak again, Qin Xiaorou interrupted, "Enough, Mom. We’re here to eat, why are you talking about work? Besides, if Uncle doesn’t want to continue, why force him? Isn’t that making things difficult?"

Seeing this, Liu Meijun could only say, "Well then, Chen Feng, you will be suspended with pay. I’ll give you some more time to think it over. If after some time you still want to resign, I’ll respect your decision."

"Thank you very much."

Chen Feng didn’t want to continue the topic. Whether he resigned or not, either way, he wasn’t going to work anymore.

"Now that everyone knows each other, let’s eat together. Come to my private room."

Liu Meijun gestured with her hand towards the outside. Although it seemed unlikely that Chen Feng could have any inappropriate relationship with her daughter, she still wasn’t comfortable leaving the two alone together.

"Mum, we’ve already ordered our food here; why would we go over to yours? I don’t even know those friends of yours," Qin Xiaorou glared at Liu Meijun discontentedly.

"Alright then. Once you’ve finished eating, come over early. Don’t disturb Chen Feng."

Perhaps seeing her daughter truly getting angry, and also believing that Chen Feng couldn’t possibly do anything to her daughter, she didn’t insist any further.

"Chen Feng, I’m going to leave first. Take your time eating."

After giving Chen Feng a warning glance, Liu Meijun finally left.

"Seriously. Coming here to bother me while I’m eating, so annoying."

As soon as Liu Meijun left, Qin Xiaorou puffed up with anger, feeling that her mother had embarrassed her.

"She’s just worried about you. If you were my daughter, and I knew you were eating alone with a man, I wouldn’t feel at ease either."

"Get out of here! Do you even have a daughter this old? Taking advantage of me."

Chen Feng smiled wryly, "Alright then, do you want some boiled water?"

"Yes, pour me a cup."

Qin Xiaorou commanded without any courtesy.

Chen Feng picked up the kettle and poured them both a cup of boiled water, the temperature just right.

After taking a sip, Qin Xiaorou said, "I never imagined you’d be from my mum’s company; it’s pretty surreal."

Chen Feng also found it surreal and seriously suspected that some invisible hand had arranged it, just like how he had coincidentally met Zhang Jingwen several times before.

"Aren’t you going to say anything?"

Seeing that Chen Feng remained silent, Qin Xiaorou asked curiously.

"Say what? That you’re my boss’s daughter?"

"Not that. Don’t you think it’s quite magical? And with my mum being so dominant, you’ve seen it yourself. I come from a single-parent household, and I have a generation gap with her. Sometimes I sneak off to the arcade because it’s too boring at home alone. I’m not one of those naughty girls; I actually do quite well in school."

Seeing Qin Xiaorou speak so much at once, Chen Feng found it somewhat amusing, but kept a straight face.

"You’re right. It’s a coincidence that we met at the arcade, and it turns out you’re my boss’s daughter; it’s quite magical, quite fateful. Besides, I don’t look down on you, and I don’t think you’re one of those naughty girls. You’re overthinking it. Also, I think that although your mum might be a bit dominant, she’s not without her good points. You also said it yourself, you’re from a single-parent household. If your mum weren’t strong, how would she hold up the household? How would she provide you with a prosperous life? So, you should try to be a bit understanding of your mum."

Chen Feng’s words made sense, but Qin Xiaorou, the wild girl that she was, refused to listen and retorted, "If you think she’s so great, why don’t you chase after her? You both are single now; I wouldn’t oppose you becoming my stepdad."

Chen Feng almost choked on his water and hastily swallowed it, exhaling deeply. He was somewhat exasperated and said, "Isn’t that a trap for your mum? How could I possibly be worthy of such an outstanding woman like her?"

Qin Xiaorou spoke dismissively, "Her excellence is only in business. In terms of being a person, running a household, living life, she’s not great at all. My dad divorced her back then because she was too dominant, overbearing, and it was suffocating. He couldn’t stand it anymore and ended up having an affair."

Chen Feng, hearing all this personal information, was at a loss for words. He forcefully changed the subject, "Enough, don’t talk to me about your family matters. Let’s talk about whether you’re planning to go abroad in the future instead."
