Chapter 1459 - 1452: The Wind Rises (10)
The two playfully battled each other. Normally, such words would sting, but since their relationship had improved, the teasing and jealousy felt more like a form of affection.
After finishing their conversation, both laughed. Lu Weixi said, "The movie starts at 7:30 PM and will run for ninety minutes. There’s also a meet-and-greet afterward, which I guess will last until 10 PM. By then it’ll be too late, so I can just drive back myself."
Qin Zhiyou said, "No worries, I have a meeting today. After that, I have more work; maybe by the time you finish the movie, I’ll still be busy. I’ll come to find you then."
Indeed, after he ousted the second and third families from the company, it wasn’t just the positions of his uncles and aunts as well as Qin Zhizha and Qin Zhimei that were affected. Some higher-ups who were coasting along and non-profitable but prestigious departments were also cut. It was a huge project involving many departments and staff; although replacements were quickly found, integration wasn’t so simple.
Lately, Qin Zhiyou has been as busy as a spinning top, staying in Yan City but almost returning home at midnight, and getting up very early each day. By 10 PM, he might indeed still be at the office.
While Lu Weixi felt sorry for him, she understood and supported his efforts and wouldn’t ask him to sacrifice work for family. However, if he wished to pick her up after work, she was happy about it.
Lu Weixi nodded. "We’ll text then. Maybe Feifei will even want me to stay over at her place; who knows?"
After finishing the conversation, they left together, got into their cars separately and drove off in opposite directions, heading east and west without another word.
