My Ares Son-in-Law

Yao Qingqing's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She wanted to refute and defend herself and Xiao Chen, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make any sound.

At this moment, Xiao Chen patted her shoulder gently and gave her a firm look.

"Don't worry, Qingqing. They may be able to laugh at us now, but one day, they will realize their mistakes and kneel down to beg us." Xiao Chen's words were full of confidence and determination, as if he had foreseen a turnaround in the future.

Yao Qingqing looked at Xiao Chen's resolute face, and the grievance and unwillingness in her heart were gradually replaced by a warm current. She nodded, and although her eyes were still red, there was more determination and hope in her eyes. She knew that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, as long as she and Xiao Chen were together, nothing was impossible.

The moment Xiao Chen received the notice of dismissal, he quickly captured the complexity and injustice behind it.

Although he was not too nostalgic about the so-called deputy manager position of the public relations department, he felt an indescribable indignation when he saw Yao Qingqing's face full of confusion and unwillingness. He knew very well that this was not only a denial of their efforts, but also an injustice to Yao Qingqing, a hardworking and motivated young man.

Xiao Chen sighed secretly, feeling sorry for Yao Qingqing. At the same time, he also realized that even Lin Youya, a person who seemed to have a certain influence in the company, did not seem to have a position as stable as the outside world thought. She did not even have the ability to protect an innocent employee.

Yao Qingqing glanced at Xiao Chen gently, and her clear eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of words. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just shook her head gently, turning the unspoken words into a helpless sigh.

She chose to believe Xiao Chen and followed him to leave this heartbreaking place.

The moment she walked out of the company gate, the sun was still bright, but Yao Qingqing's mood was as if shrouded by dark clouds. Seeing this, Xiao Chen patted Yao Qingqing's head, smiled, and tried to break the dull atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

"Let's go, Qingqing, just take a break. Don't let those unhappy things affect our mood. I'll take you to try some food you've never tasted before, and let your taste buds go on a spontaneous trip."

He knew that Yao Qingqing was in a bad mood, mainly because of him, so he wanted to make it up to her.

"Okay." Yao Qingqing's voice was soft, but it revealed a kind of helpless compromise. She nodded gently, with a hint of imperceptible worry in her eyes. Losing this stable job was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her.

As the financial pillar of the family, she knows that every penny of income is crucial, especially now that her mother is still ill. The medical expenses are like a mountain pressing on her heart, forcing her not to slack off in the slightest.

On the way to the western restaurant, Yao Qingqing had a lot of thoughts. Although she felt unwilling and aggrieved, she also understood that it was not her and Xiao Chen's fault.

They were just innocent victims of the complex struggle within the company, caught up in this war without gunpowder. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, lamenting the impermanence and cruelty of fate. However, in this bitterness, Yao Qingqing also felt a trace of warmth and determination. She believed Xiao Chen's words, believing that they would one day prove their worth and make those who once despised them look at them with new eyes. This belief was like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating her way forward.

The two soon arrived at a well-known high-end western restaurant in Tianhai. The restaurant has an elegant exterior and a luxurious interior. When you walk into the restaurant, a strong aroma of coffee and steak intertwined together, making you forget the troubles of the outside world in an instant.

Compared with the previous Chinese restaurant, the atmosphere here is more peaceful and elegant.

The soft light sprinkled on the exquisite tableware, reflecting spots of light, adding a bit of romance and warmth to the entire dining environment. Yao Qingqing looked around and couldn't help but secretly admired that such a place, she might usually only be able to watch from afar, but today, she was lucky enough to enjoy this rare luxury with Xiao Chen.

The waiter came forward with a smile and led them to the reserved seats. At the moment they sat down, Yao Qingqing's mood seemed to gradually calm down with this elegant environment. She knew that no matter how many unknowns and challenges there were in the future, as long as she fought side by side with Xiao Chen, nothing would be impossible.

The two were immersed in the delicious food and quiet atmosphere, enjoying this rare moment of peace, but at the same time, the building of Lin Group was in turmoil and chaos.

The door of the emergency meeting room was hastily pushed open again and again, and every secretary who entered had a panicked look on their face, holding the latest emergency report tightly in their hands. The air was filled with tension and anxiety, as if the calm before the storm was suddenly broken.

"Oh no, General Manager. I just received news that the Good Children's Toy Factory has officially withdrawn all cooperation with our Lin Group, including contracts that have been signed and upcoming projects. All have been terminated." A secretary's voice trembled, and the documents in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

As soon as he finished speaking, another secretary rushed in and reported with a pale face: "There is also Tianhai Catering Group. They just announced that they have cancelled the cooperation project originally agreed with us, which was worth 1 billion yuan, because the strategic directions of both parties are not in line."

Then, the head of the Finance Department walked into the meeting room with an anxious look on his face, saying in a low voice, "What's worse is that Tianhai Bank has just informed us that they have decided to terminate our loan application due to risk assessment issues. This will have a significant impact on our capital chain."

A series of bad news hit the nerves of the top management of Lin Group like a heavy hammer, and the atmosphere in the conference room instantly dropped to freezing point. The shareholders looked at each other with fear and confusion in their eyes. They realized that this series of changes was not accidental, and there must be deep reasons behind it.

Lin Youya sat at the head of the conference table, her brows furrowed and her eyes sharp, trying to find clues from this series of events. "These companies seem to belong to the Qin family. Did we offend the Qin family in some way?" Her voice was soft, but it revealed unquestionable majesty and doubt.

Wang Xiong could no longer suppress his inner anger and panic. He stood up suddenly and shouted, "It must be that Xiao Chen! What did he do to Director Li before that led to all this? But we have already fired him, why is the Qin family still not willing to give up? Why is this happening?" His voice echoed in the conference room, full of reluctance and helplessness.
